    Summary

    Once he’s safely in the Jeep Buck lets his head fall back against the seat. He’s not having a panic attack, he’s not going to be sick, and he’s certainly not going to cry. Buck just feels lost. Suddenly he’s as much the kid the others think him to be. How is he supposed to cope with this.

    “Why are you still fucking dead?” Buck asks the imaginary Bobby in the passenger seat. “You were supposed to be here for me for this sort of shit. You were supposed to tell me what to do.”

    In the wake of Bobby's death and the birth of his nephew, Buck receives a diagnosis and makes some well meaning, but ultimately ill considered life choices. Will the path he's set himself on break him? Or will it be the making of the next new iteration of Buck?

    Summary

    “What’s this?” asks Buck, picking up a pamphlet from the loft’s kitchen counter.

    “I’m pretty sure you can read, Buck,” answers Chim, popping his gum. Usually, Buck wouldn’t be irritated by that, but Chim’s the interim captain due to Bobby’s cruise, and everything gets on his nerves.

    “I can read,” Buck huffs. “I’m just confused. How does this work?”

    He looks down at the pamphlet again. The deep red letters that say, are you a first responder looking for a buddy who understands your woes? — Fireapp’s got you covered!

    _____

    OR Buck joins a support app for first responders and matches with a firefighter who has PTSD and a kid who likes giraffes, apparently.

    Summary

    “My answer is the same,” he croaks out, sounding like he’s swallowed razor blades. Merlin, when was the last time he spoke instead of screaming? “If you’re going to kill me, just kill me and get it over with.”

    “Percy?” comes a female voice, unsure. Percy freezes. Where had he heard that voice before? Ages ago, when he was younger…

    “Tonks?” he asks, feeling a bit mad.

    “Sweet Merlin and Mary! What the fuck?"

    Yeah, that was Tonks.

    Summary

    “Can we call someone for you?” the man asked. “A friend, a spouse?”

    Buck thought of Eddie. Hen. Chimney. Bobby. He thought of them all out to dinner together at this very moment while he bled in an alley. He thought of the silence, the coldness, the looks he’d been getting from them since getting back to work.

    He wouldn't have hesitated for a second to call Eddie just a few months ago.

    He swallowed hard, looking back up. “No. There’s no one to call. Thanks.”

    “Are you sure? You’re bleeding,” the woman pointed at her own lip, as if Buck was unaware he was bleeding from his.

    “Yeah. I’m sure.”

    Summary

    He realizes it right before everything goes to shit. He’s just standing there in the loft and Eddie’s handing him Christopher’s backpack and talking about “he’s not that fast” and “order pizza” and Buck sort of stares at him—partly in shock, partly in reverence—and he thinks "I love you." He shoves it down immediately, of course, as far down as it’ll go, but the fact of the matter is, it’s there somewhere, floating around inside of him. He can’t get rid of it now.

    Not that it matters all that much, though, because there’s the whole quitting thing and the lawsuit thing and the argument in the grocery store and by the time he’s given his (re)start date he knows; he well and truly fucked up.

    Summary

    It was a shitshow, to say the least. Despite, what he’d told Bobby all those months ago, he did not have a handle on the problem. He had the opposite. He had zero handles, and he was too embarrassed to bring it up. It was definitely an issue, but it wasn’t too serious. And it didn’t affect anybody besides himself.

    But it was definitely affecting him in a bad way. Hard day at work? Go have sex to feel better. Bobby yell at him for screwing up again? Find an old guy to tell him he’s good for something. See a happy family on a call and remember he hasn’t spoken to Maddie in seven years? Blackout so he doesn’t have to be reminded of that gaping wound.

    It was really bad. Yeah. But like, privately bad. Secretly bad. Except for his roommates, who were starting to get pissed about him stumbling around drunk with his guests. So, he started to look for a new apartment in earnest.

    And just when he was starting to think things were getting actually concerning, and pretty soon he wouldn’t even remember what the point of anything was, who walked into the fire station, looking perfect and attractive and ready to change Buck’s life?

    Eddie fucking Diaz.

    Summary

    The season arrives in silk and calculation.

    Robby enters it as an unattached Duke under pressure to secure his future. Whitaker enters it as he always does. Quietly, from the back of the carriage, unnoticed and indispensable.

    They are not meant to cross paths.

    But stables remember what ballrooms forget. Gossip travels faster than horses. And sometimes the smallest, quietest things alter the course of a season.

    A Regency AU about watching, waiting, and what happens when someone finally looks back.

    Summary

    Tommy is used to being the one who shows up when things go wrong. He’s less prepared for what happens when life forces him to stay.

    Six months is a long time to put everything on hold—long enough for old ghosts to resurface, for buried feelings to demand attention, and for someone he never quite moved on from to step back into his life.

    Summary

    The stranger from the stairwell stops beside a bank of linen cabinets and folds his arms loosely across his chest.
    No, not a stairwell stranger, Dennis reminds himself. His attending.
    He opens his mouth. “Dr. Robby—”
    “You are a fourth-year medical student on rotation in my department,” Dr. Robby cuts off, “and what happened in the stairwell this morning does not change that.”
    Dennis swallows.

    Dennis Whitaker didn't need fate to tell him he was meant to be a doctor. He just really wasn't expecting his new attending on his very last rotation of medical school to say the words inked around his bicep.

    Summary

    Tommy stared down at the picture and didn’t move an inch as he tried to process what he was seeing. 

    It was of Evan, his pale skin glistening with sweat as he smiled, holding the door open for someone outside of his apartment building. 

    Mason put down another picture and then another, making the cold shock in Tommy’s veins turn brittle with each one being presented to him. It was obvious from the photographs that Evan hadn’t known his picture was being taken. It had to have been captured with a long lens of some kind. Evan, at his apartment building. Evan, by his Jeep outside of the grocery store. Evan, in his uniform, taking out the trash at the back of the firehouse, alone and surrounded by shadows. 

    “I really wished you’d said yes, man.” Mason leaned back and tipped the picture up to stare at him. “Cute kid. Got that birthmark thing? He’s a firefighter too? Calls himself Buck, right? Let’s take this somewhere else, huh? You can tell me all about him.”  

    An old army buddy of Tommy’s comes into town with a proposition. When Tommy refuses, he learns that Evan Buckley is a pretty good tool for persuasion.

    Summary

    When Dennis agrees to be the temporary on-site doctor for a Pittsburgh Penguins hockey game as a favor to a classmate from medical school, he’s not expecting much. He’s not the first-choice to be team doctor, and he’s definitely not a hockey guy. His plan is simple: hide out on the sidelines until he can go home and crawl into bed. Funny how plans change.

    Summary

    Eddie huffs and throws his hands out. “I don’t know what you want from me, Buck. Do you want me to say I hate it? ’Cause I don’t!”

    “I want you to tell me the truth.”

    “I am telling you the truth! I’m sorry it’s not apparently whatever it is you want to hear, but I can’t actually read your mind, and I don’t know what it is you want me to say. I like the house. I liked the party. I don’t like being treated like a damn stranger.”

    Eddie sees the moment Buck’s restraint finally snaps. “Then stop making yourself one!”

    Or

    Buck hosts a housewarming party, everyone keeps asking Eddie what he thinks of the new place, and he can't figure out why it feels like lying when he says he likes it.

    There’s a weird feeling hiding between the hangers as Samira picks apart her wardrobe. A layered, scratchy sort of disappointment.

    It’s got nothing to do with her plans, of course. She's been looking forward to this date all week.

    Abbot just made those case reports sound really interesting.

    Summary

    "Should we — should we tell Bobby?" Buck keeps his eyes straight ahead as he pushes their grocery cart through the produce section.

    "Tell Bobby what?" Eddie asks distractedly as he darts off to grab the particular brand of cheddar that Chris likes, dumping it in the cart.

    "About — you know. Our change in status. Or, maybe it goes straight to HR? I think we tell Bobby first, though."

    Eddie puts his hand on the cart handle and stops it rolling. "Our change in status," he says slowly.

    He reaches over and presses a fingertip to the spot where Buck's neck joins with his shoulder. He's touching Buck's St. Christopher medal necklace chain, Buck realizes, which is kind of a weird thing to do out of the blue, in the middle of the produce section, but then Eddie pulls back and turns away, starts searching through the avocados.

    "I don't think we have to report anything to HR," he says in a completely normal and casual tone of voice. "It's not like we got married."

    Buck is so happy to have Chris and Eddie back in his life, and so confused about what it all means.

    Summary

    “Tell me — tell me everything. Did you yell at your parents yet? Is El Paso just like you remembered it? Did you hug Chris?”
    Eddie takes a measured sip of tea. “Not yet, kind of but not really, and yes.”
    Buck hums. Eddie imagines him sitting at his kitchen island or sprawled out on the couch in the loft. Hugging him goodbye two days ago felt so final, but now they’re talking just like they would any other night, never mind the 800 miles between them.
    “Does he seem okay?” Buck asks. “Did he storm off?”
    Yeah, this is normal. Buck asking the important questions, acting as a sounding board for Eddie, being a Christopher Diaz subject-matter expert. Eddie exhales and smiles a little for the first time since he left his parents’ house.
    “He seems like he doesn’t know what to do with me,” he answers honestly. “I think … I think it’s good I came.”

    Eddie has been parenting solo for a long time — except maybe he hasn’t? Maybe he doesn’t have to?
