    Summary

    “Why don't we just get out of here?” Buck begs, unable to hide the desperation clawing its way up his throat, hands shaking where they’re pressed tightly into his sides, ”Forget Pennsylvania, forget Doug, just you and me against the world, like we always talked about.”

    Maddie sighs, “Evan,” And he already knows what she's going to say, can tell by her tight, mournful expression. He deflates, stomach bottoming out, double lines on plastic flashing in his mind with the bitter realization that he is going to have to do this alone.

    Or between absent parents and the loss of his sister's presence, Buck finds attention elsewhere.

    It's not the good kind.

    Summary


    That’s his problem. Buck always manages to make the calls personal, even if they are so far behind his realm of reality. He always makes them about himself, he had been told this way too many times already. And he’s trying to change, he really is. But then there are moments like these in which a little girl needs saving and Buck blurs the line between what’s his job and his own need to be there for everyone he meets. His need to fix everything.

    So he stays there, just for that first surgery he keeps reminding himself, just to make sure she makes it out of the ER. Just to make sure Hen is right and she is in good hands. And a few hours later, when she makes it out and the doctor’s look around the waiting room for Cassie’s parents without all the context Buck already has, he stands up. On instinct. Barely even a lie. He couldn’t count it as one when he hadn’t spoken at all. He just stands up. He stands up and he follows the doctor to the ICU.

    In which Buck worries about the little girl he just saved from a fire, and he gives her a home in his arms.

    Summary

    “I told him you could help.” Christopher says with such confidence that Eddie’s heart jumps into his throat. Because to Eddie, this isn’t a fight he can win. “Please help him.”

    “Christopher.” Eddie whispers and looks back down at the likely dying wild animal his son brought home.

    “Please?” Christopher’s eyes are wide and wet and looking at him with such hope.

    What can Eddie do? Say no? Of course not. “I’ll try, but Mijo, it looks pretty hurt.”

    “You can save him.” Christopher insists. “I know you can.”

    __

    Or: Christopher saves a fox on a field trip that ends up not being a fox after all.

    Summary

    Years before joining the 118, Buck’s travels take him to El Paso, where he meets Christopher. When Eddie comes back from Afghanistan and Shannon leaves, Buck ends up staying. As bills pile up, the best move is for them to get married, just for convenience, they’ll divorce when Eddie comes back from his re-enlistment.

    Then Eddie gets injured and it’s just easier to stay married for a little longer, while Buck gets started at the 118. However, Buck doesn’t mention his ‘husband’ and kid, not feeling like they’re his to keep. When Eddie gets the offer from Bobby, they decide to lie and pretend they don’t know each other, so they can work together.

    The whole lie gets out of hand as feelings start to become real, until it all comes to a head in the aftermath of the fire engine explosion.

     

    AKA: Secret marriage of convenience buddie slow burn AU, where Buck and Eddie have been married for years so Buck could adopt Chris and no one at the 118 knows.
