    Summary

    Sometimes Rico feels like there are two versions of himself. There’s the version that’s pretty happy, likes skateboarding and music and video games. Then there’s the other version, who’s always angry, irritation simmering under the surface all the time, making him say shit or do shit that pisses people off.

    He wishes he could shed it like a second skin, leave a hollow, desiccated, angry Rico behind and walk away lighter, freer. Most days that feels pretty impossible because which version of him is the real one anyway.

    *

    Eddie’s kid cousin, lashing out and immediate regret, familiar cycles and hope for a path forward.

    Summary

    “His shirt’s on inside out,” Josh commented to Linda. Eddie opened the door to the breakroom and tried to let it close behind him, but that did not deter either of his colleagues. “Is this a walk of shame?”

    “Well, I am walking,” Eddie confirmed, rounding the counter and beelining to the empty coffee pot. “And full of shame.”

    “What happened?”

    “I stood him up,” he answered, shortly.

    After what was probably a very involved silent conversation between Linda and Josh, Josh said, “Eddie, if you aren’t ready, I’m sure he’d understand.”

    “I am ready,” he said, detaching the water reservoir with more force than necessary. “I didn’t do it on purpose.”

    Eddie Diaz has been trying to get Firefighter Buckley to agree to a date for the last two months; so no one is more surprised than he is when he finally gets a chance—and blows it.

    Or: Dispatchers Eddie and Maddie are both looking for a second chance. They just don't realize they want one from the same person.

    Summary

    ‘He’s not my other dad, he’s just Buck.'

    Although, there has been a vibe since they got back from El Paso and with them all living together, Dad and Buck hovering and circling around each other in a way that’s new. They’ve been sharing the bedroom at home and leaving the door ajar, which Chris feels is needlessly pointed, like he’s the parent and they’re the teenagers proving they’re not getting up to anything. Chris’s whole existence indicates his Dad’s track record on Getting Up To Things. Not that he wants to think about that. It's just. He really hates the idea his Dad is keeping stuff from him again. Especially something like this. Something that will change everything.

    Summary

    “Really, Maddie. It’s just lipstick,” she turns to the man on Buck’s left. “It’s not like I’m going to go to Hell for using some lipstick, right, Father?”

    “No,” He chuckles awkwardly, “I’d think not.”

    Oh. He’s their priest then. Their young, hot priest.

    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.
