    Summary

    After a catastrophic earthquake rocks Los Angeles, Buck throws himself into rescue mode, determined to keep moving no matter what his body says. A single misstep leaves him hurting, but he insists it’s nothing—until Chim notices the telltale signs of burnout and pain Buck can’t hide anymore. As aftershocks rattle the city and exhaustion catches up, the 118 closes ranks, refusing to let Buck push past his limits. What starts as “walk it off” becomes a lesson in trust, vulnerability, and letting found family carry you when you can’t. In aftermath, courage looks less like sprinting and more like stillness.

    Summary

    Eddie’s reaching out towards him, palm facing the sky. His heart aches to envelop Eddie’s hand in his, whether to pull him beneath the firetruck towards him or to provide simple comfort, he isn’t sure. His heart just aches and aches, like a vice is physically squeezing his heart and making it hurt more.

    He’s aware it’s a dumb idea. More than dumb, probably life-threatening, reckless, and extremely, idiotically risky.

    But he does it anyway.

    -------------------------

    Or, it isn't only Eddie who gets shot.

    Summary

    What do you do when your daughter utterly despises your brother's new boyfriend?
    What do you do when every time they come to dinner, it ends up in a disaster?

    Turns out, you just need Eddie Diaz, child whisperer extraordinaire and, coincidentially, also madly in love with your oblivious brother.

    Or, another 5+1
    Five times Maddie invites Buck and his boyfriend for dinner (and it's one disaster after the other) plus one time it all goes smoothly (kinda).

    Summary

    Buck knows he’s being ridiculous, because Eddie isn’t dead, but it feels like he is, like he’s buried under thirty feet of suffocating mud and Buck’s clawing at the earth as though he could dig his own grave to spare Eddie his, like Eddie’s bleeding out beneath Buck’s hands from a bullet that should never have hit him, that should have hit someone who wouldn’t be missed and mourned, that should have hit Buck instead.

    It’s ridiculous, because Eddie isn’t Buck’s to miss, not like this.

    With Eddie and Chris in El Paso, Buck faces spending Christmas alone, and he spirals.
