    Summary

    “Aw,” Harry says, smiling. “That’s adorable. Is it like—is it a thing? Do all of you keep pictures in your helmets?”

    A murmur of general consensus ripples through their group. Harry, apparently delighted by this new knowledge, demands to see everyone’s secret photos.

    “They’re kind of private,” Eddie says, crouched down to unlace his boots. He has a smudge of soot over his left cheek, and his hair has come loose from the gel, a lock of it curling over his brow. Buck likes him like this, just a little dishevelled.

     

    or, firefighters sometimes keep photographs of the people they love inside their helmets, to remember who they’re fighting to come home to. eddie’s isn’t what buck expects.

    Summary

    See, Eddie wasn’t some kind of traditionalist. He didn't care about old-fashioned gender roles. He didn't think omegas belonged stuck in a kitchen, and he didn't think alphas had to be the absolute bosses of everything. But he did believe in instincts. He believed in the natural order of things and what a body was meant to do.

    And looking at Buck, Eddie drew his own quiet conclusions: Buck was living in the wrong shell. He was miserable trying to force himself into the alpha mould, running himself ragged trying to live up to a biology that didn't fit his soul.

    Buck would be so much happier, so much better off, if he could just be an omega.

    In which, Eddie helped Buck become the omega he was meant to be.

    Summary

    "What the hell are you doing, Buck?! You could have been killed!" Eddie roared, his voice cracking with the sheer terror of almost losing him. He gripped Buck's shoulders, shaking him slightly to force him to look at him. "Look at me! What is wrong with you?!"

    But the anger died instantly in Eddie’s throat.

    Buck wasn't fighting back or apologising. Instead, his head rolled back slightly, his blue eyes glassy, unfocused, and swimming with a terrifying vacancy. His lips were trembling, and as Eddie watched, a low, broken whimper escaped Buck's throat—a soft sound of absolute distress that an Omega should never make in the middle of a chaotic environment.

    Buck let Tommy be his heat partner. Something went really, really wrong.

    Summary

    Eddie can feel the goosebumps puckering across Buck’s skin. He’s torn between chasing that feeling, letting the goosebumps spread all over Buck's pale body—or rubbing his fingers over each individual hump and smoothing them out completely.

    Eddie gives Buck a massage to help with the pain in his leg after he’s injured on a call. Things…escalate and they get their happy ending after all.

    Summary

    About a week after starting back at the 118, and about three weeks before he was supposed to start getting a steady check again, Buck quietly moved out of his loft—

    —and into his jeep.
