    Summary

    It’s a well known fact that Buck is a good guy. Everyone knows that. Hell: the LAFD as a whole probably knows how good of a guy Buck is. He did save a dozen people during the tsunami while he was off duty while he was recovering and on blood thinners. A feat that the 118 hadn’t been aware of until one year after the tsunami, when one of the victims spoke up and named him as Firefighter Buck. The LAFD had recognized him for his bravery and Buck? He’d brushed it off like it was nothing.

    So yeah, Buck’s a good guy. A great guy. But does he know how great he is? You would tell him and he would probably brush it off and tell you he’s just as good as everyone else.

    The 118 know this, of course they do, but it all starts to come into clarity for them on a
    stormy day when Buck shows up to work looking like a wet dog and one by one, they notice the little things that Buck does for them.

    Or: a 7+1 where the 118 realize just how GOOD Buck is. Comfort, no hurt.

    Summary

    It’s not the first time Evan “Buck” Buckley has helped someone move. Over his years of travelling, of making new friends in each city he ends up in, he always manages to help someone move. Buck had even landed himself a job as a professional mover for a small company when he needed some quick cash.

    It is the first time though, that he’s been plucked off the street to help with what seemed to be a brand-new fire station moving into their new space.

    OR

    Buck gets mistaken for a firefighter and ends up finding himself home.

    Summary

    The joke comes out of Bobby without much thought.
    “At this point,” he says, reaching for his drink, “I should just adopt you.”
    ...

    Buck looks away.
    “You don’t joke,” he says, voice rougher now, quieter, “about things people actually want.”

    or

    something meant as... a joke (?)

    turns into something neither Bobby nor Buck can turn away from.

    Summary

    Because the Evan — in Eddie Diaz’s mouth —was not the Evan of his mother.

    It was not, even, exactly the Evan of Maddie, though it had Maddie’s same warmth underneath.

    The Evan of Eddie was its own thing.

    Or,

    How Evan came to sound like love.

    Summary

    Everyone was perfectly polite to him. They greeted him at the start of the shift and wished him a good 48 off when he left the station, they didn't give him dirty looks at the table and communicated about work. But Buck couldn't remember the last time someone asked him how his weekend was, involved him in a joke, or casually touched him. He couldn't remember the last time anyone touched him on purpose at all. Everyone kept a very safe distance from Buck. He wondered if they were scared he would sue them if they made a wrong move near him. 

    - - -
    Months after the lawsuit Buck is still on the outs with the 118. He is lonely and touch-starved. After a minor injury at work Buck goes home alone, spiralling about his life and how he misses his family. Then Eddie shows up at his door to talk.

    Summary

    Hi, journal. Weird start, I don’t know how to start. I guess hi, me. This is the first entry of the journal for Dr. Copeland. I don’t really get how it will help, but she’s good at this, so this is probably good too. I didn’t tell her today, but I made the appointment because I’m lonely. I’m really, really lonely. And I don’t know how to say that out loud yet. Hopefully writing it will help.

    He puts the pen down and decides that’s enough effort for the first day. He checks his phone, thinking maybe he didn’t notice it buzzing while he wrote. No new messages.
    ...... 
    Eddie’s in Texas. Maddie is getting ready for baby number 2. Bobby and Athena are building a new house. Everyone is busy with their family, and Buck doesn’t seem to fit anywhere. Dr. Copeland has him start to keep a journal to keep track of how he’s feeling, and all it does is (somehow) make everything worse. When a bad call lands Bobby in a coma and brings Eddie back everything becomes overwhelming fast. Buck starts leaning on his old habits, and it’s not long until he spirals out of control.

    Summary

    “Long story short, your kid is too damn smart," Buck began. "Seriously, Eddie, maybe you need to pull him out of that fancy school and send him back to public school. Dumb him down a bit so he’s easier to handle.”

    Buck’s words became so tangled in his anxiety that he couldn’t really process what he was saying. “What the hell are you talking about? Is Chris okay? Is he in trouble?”

    “He’s fine. Safe and sound, happy as a clam, but I’d say he is definitely in trouble.”

    ...

    In which Eddie's parents hate Buck, and Christopher is too damn clever.

    Summary

    Once Buck opens the door to the intruder of his date, he finds that it is no intruder at all. This boy has never once intruded anything. He’s as welcome here as though he’s a resident in the loft and not just inside the crevice of Buck’s heart.

    “Christopher,” he breathes out, peeking his head out of the door to scan the hallway. “Are you alone?”

    Chris doesn't answer at first. Buck takes the boy in, feeling an odd sense of deja vu. Notices that the inches he’s grown since he’d last turned up on his doorstep like this have nothing on the young, pained look on his face. If Buck squinted, he could pass for the same ten-year-old who’d run to him all those years ago after shattering a salad bowl.

    But the face he bears now… A salad bowl isn’t going to cut it.

    Summary

    “LA Dispatch to Engine 118, be advised–”

    Eddie’s head snaps up.

    Maddie. Dispatch cadence – clean, clipped, controlled.

    Chimney’s eyes flick to the radio, then to Eddie, before he answers.

    “118, go ahead.”

    Maddie continues, steady as a metronome.

    “We have a reported MVC on the Fletcher Drive Bridge, repeat: multiple-vehicle collision. Units en route have visual confirmation of two cars at the scene.”

    Eddie’s pulse stutters. He leans forward without meaning to, the seatbelt tugging tight across his chest.

    Maddie keeps going, all professionalism, no tremor, until she hits the words that break.

    “One of the vehicles is… a Jeep that went over the railing into the water.”

    The Jeep nde.

    Summary

    Eddie’s snapped back to the present by a thunderous cackle and a subsequent stupefied splutter. Theo’s just blown flour right into Buck’s face.

    Eddie’s grin only grows when he sees Christopher slap a palm over his mouth, sniggering at Buck’s expense.

    “Morning, gang,” he greets, keen to jump into the mayhem.

    Buck pivots abruptly and drops the whisk with a clank. Eddie thinks he’d be raising two hands in surrender if not for them being occupied with gathering Theo up in both arms, powdered face fish-mouthing as he registers Eddie’s presence.

    Theo’s eyes widen comically. “Teddy!” he screeches, immediately making grabby hands.

    “Shit,” Buck gripes.

    “Swear jar,” Chris contributes smugly, tilting the crown of his head back into Eddie’s sternum as he squeezes his teenager’s shoulders and drops a kiss to his forehead. “Happy birthday, Dad.”

    or: Eddie turns thirty-four.

    "My Eddie helps people feel better. He puts big bandaids on people's booboos and has a special bag that fixes people. Like Doc McStuffins!" Theo pauses thinking for a moment, "He keeps my Buck safe too."

    Summary

    Buck doesn’t think that if he were to say, “I’m in a bad place”, that anyone would turn him away. Really, he doesn’t. The 118 has too many good, kind people for that.

    But every time he wants to open his mouth, to say something, to reach out to Eddie or Bobby or Hen or Chim, he hears Eddie yelling, “you’re exhausting.”

    —you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting—

    So each day he does his job and he laughs and he jokes and he pretends he’s the care-free goofball he’s always been. And each day he packs away his bruises and his worries, takes them home to his empty loft with its quiet rooms, and licks his wounds in silence.

    “How’d you know what to get?”

    “What?”

    “The —” Eddie gestures, vaguely, at the coffee table, at the now-gone Taco Bell, at the plates Buck has already cleaned up. “The food. All of it.”

    Buck shrugs.

    “I just had a feeling.”

    “You always have a feeling.”

    “Lucky guess.”
