    Summary

    Evangaline ‘Buck’ Buckley has made a home for herself in LA. After the long and difficult path to get here, she doesn’t think there is much left to surprise her. She has a new family, her son is thriving, and she’s loving her work as a firefighter. So what if sometimes the dark still comes for her some nights?
    When a new firefighter starts at the station, everything Buck thought she knew is thrown up in the air as she tries to keep her past and private life together. Things only get worse when dispatch starts messing the whole station around.

    A season 2 rewrite that won't make much sense unless you've read part 1.
    New chapter every Friday :)

    Summary

    “And you know what the worst part is?” The girl asks, wiping angrily at her tears. “I want the life I’m supposed to live. I want to get married and raise kids and be happy. I just don’t want to do all that with a man.”

    It’s like Eddie’s understanding of himself — of the reason why he’s always felt like something is wrong with him — has been locked away his entire life. Labelled break glass in case of emergency, gathering dust for thirty-four years, and all of a sudden some conflicted teenager is shattering his worldview without meaning to.

    I don’t want to do all that with a man, she’d said. The words slip out without Eddie intending them to.

    “I do.”

    Or: the Eddie Diaz gay realization arc we all deserve. In which Bobby puts some pieces together, Chimney sees something he shouldn’t, Hen gets to have a conversation she’s been waiting to have for years, and Buck can’t understand why his best friend is avoiding him.

    Summary

    He knows he could have called Maddie and she would have been there, though the memory of her disappointment last time stopped him. As for everyone else—even if he weren’t prohibited from talking to them by his lawyer, Buck doubts anyone would have come. The last time they talked was when they ran into each other in the grocery store a week back, and, since Buck is not eager for a repeat of that interaction, he doesn’t even consider calling anyone in to hold his hand for what is, he tells himself, probably just another little blip on his road back to the 118.

    He is able to convince himself of this up until the moment Dr. Gutierrez walks into his room and says, “Well, Evan, you just can’t seem to do anything the easy way, can you?”

    Because, as it turns out, there is a circumstance under which a tiny clot that doesn’t cause you to vomit blood in front of all of your friends and family is worse than three big ones that do: that circumstance is called ‘being on blood thinners.’
    ***
    In the midst of the lawsuit, Buck is diagnosed with cancer. Dropping the lawsuit is easy. Finding forgiveness, less so.
