    Summary

    They were trapped.

    Fire hadn’t broken through yet, but it was coming. Buck could feel the heat pushing in, wrapping around them like a warning. The smoke thickened, clawing at their throats, painting the walls with a haze of panic.

    “So…” Eddie’s voice cut through the haze, rough around the edges but maddeningly calm. “You wanna talk about it now?”

    Buck turned slowly, disbelief etched across every exhausted line of his face, and he hoped his deadpan glare said it all. He didn’t need to ask what Eddie was referring to.

    No, he didn’t want to talk about how he accidentally told his best friend he loved him just hours earlier.

    He’d rather let the fire take him.

    A season 9 two-part opening emergency, in which a group of hijackers takeover Station 118.

    Summary

    Buck should be happier than ever, now that he and Eddie have finally started dating.

    And he would be — if it wasn't for the fact that he's pretty sure he's being haunted.

    Summary

    “Most babies are born as accidents,” She says suddenly, like she’s decided that Buck has passed, that she can trust him with this.

    Buck doesn’t really have an answer because that question hits way to fucking close to home. A year or so ago he would have said, yes, I was an accident, so I know how that goes, but Buck knows better now. Knows that he would almost give anything for that answer to still be yes. Evie’s finger works under the seal to rip it open, a stack of important looking papers dumping out onto the table in front of her.

    “Not me,” she says without looking up as she organizes them into a neat stack, “I was engineered.”

    And.

    And Buck’s pretty fucking sure a giant, cataclysmic hole has ripped right open, dragging him down to the earth’s core where he vaporizes into dust.

    Summary

    “Buck?” Eddie asks when he opens the door. “What’s- is that a baby?”

    Buck doesn’t know what to say other than, “Help.”

     

    Buck's running late to work when he finds the baby on his doorstep, and that pretty much sums up this portion of his life. Now he must figure out what to do, how to do it, and why doing it with Eddie gives him a feeling he can’t shake.

    Summary

    Buck’s doing fine.

    Sure, his leg hurts, and every time he blinks he finds himself on Eddie’s couch, the realtor’s sizzling voice in the background, and it sends such a jolt across his spine that he has to hold onto the nearest wall. Sure, he hasn’t spoken to Christopher in what must have been months, his pillowcase still smells of Tommy, and hell, there are more than three dozens of oatmeal raisin cookies in his kitchen, and he fucking hates raisins. Then there is Maddie, pregnant again, walking towards the edge again, and the real cherry on top, now Eddie, asking him to bring some boxes on his way to help with packing and–

    No. It's fine. Buck's doing just fine.
