Summary
Buck tries to take in a deep breath but ends up choking out a loud, ugly cry. He folds over and shakes his head, his cries not leaving him a room to breathe properly, shoulders shaking with each sob. "I just want people to love me."
*
It only takes one minor inconvenience for Buck to have his long overdue breakdown.

Summary
Without waiting for a reaction or reply, the man bore down on the gas and peeled down the highway, leaving Buck stranded in the middle of nowhere somewhere along Interstate 10.
And as Buck watched the red brake lights of his Jeep disappear into the distance, clutching his prescription of blood thinners tightly to his chest... there was really only one thing left to do. Tilting his head back until he was staring at the stars, he took a deep breath and screamed into the night:
“Fuck!”
And much like every other one of his recent cries for help, it had gone unanswered.
---
Buck gets carjacked, held at gunpoint, and stranded in Arizona the day before his first shift post-lawsuit. And that's only the beginning of his troubles.

Summary
That’s the problem.
He thinks.
He thinks, I love you, every morning he wakes up and finds Buck making breakfast.
He thinks, I’m in love with you, every time Buck grins at him at the dinner table at the fire station, a quip on the tip of his tongue and a blush high on his cheeks.
He thinks, I don’t want my life without you in it, just like this, forever, when Buck’s sitting on their couch in the hours after Chris has gone to sleep, and exhaustion claws at Eddie’s skin, begging him to follow in his wake. But Buck’s looking at listings, Buck’s looking at listings and their time is limited, and Eddie—
Eddie thinks.
Eddie thinks and thinks and thinks every little thing that matters; every momentous thought that at once feels stifling and freeing in the same fleeting moment.
He thinks, endlessly.
And, hauntingly—
He thinks Buck straight into her arms.
--
Or, Buck's new relationship is moving too fast and Eddie's not sure how to stop it.

Summary
“You okay?”
Buck freezes, heart jumping right up to his throat. He turns a little too quickly, nearly knocking him off balance before a hand shoots out, wrapping around his bicep to steady him. Buck blinks up at Eddie and all the fight bleeds out of him as he throws himself into Eddie’s arms.
“Oh god,” he wheezes as he chokes back a sob, “Eddie, I—I’m so sorry!”
He feels Eddie’s hands — strong, steady, and warm — wrap around him before he is unceremoniously shoved backwards. Buck feels all the air punch out of his lungs when his back hits the firetruck.
“Who the hell are you?”
Buck’s mouth falls open as he looks at Eddie. As he looks at the person that knows him better than anyone else in the world. The person that he loves with every fiber of his being. He looks at Eddie and realizes that Eddie has no idea who he is.
[or buck is in an accident and wakes up in a universe where the 118 don't know who he is]

Summary
“Might be a long shift, there’s a tsunami alert, I’ll try to call around dinner if I can.” He pauses for a second, and then shakes his head.
They’re fine. Chris was at the movies with Paco, and they’ll probably go to a nearby park or something after. Abuela doesn’t go to the beach anymore since that seagull nearly took her snow cone from her hands, and Pepa hates clearing out sand from her shoes. They were out having a nice, normal day together. Everything’s fine. It’s all okay.
But still. His fingers finish typing his message.
“Be safe.”
