Summary
After Bobby dies, Athena—seeking a change, and some sort of meaning in life—gets pulled onto the LAFD's Arson Investigation unit. It's been falling apart at the seams for years now. But she's given her pick of firefighters to fill it out, and she chooses the best of the best: Buck, of course, adrift and grieving; and Tommy, who's been grounded for insubordination and transferred to admin for a while.
Buck and Tommy dance around each other. Athena closes in on a serial arsonist. Things heat up from there.

Summary
No, he doesn't mind all of that. He doesn't mind anything right now. Not when he has his hands wrist deep in the dirt in the slightly-shaded side yard, feeling around for leftover roots from the tree of heaven that he'd pulled out an hour ago: cut it down with a handsaw, forgoing the poison that reddit suggested because he didn't want Jee touching it accidentally, then splitting the trunk down with a hatchet so he could remove it piece by piece. Not when he's carefully avoiding the bulbs, the irises and the daffodils, because it's the wrong time of year to disturb them. Not when nobody's looking at him so nobody can see that his eyes are leaking a little bit, because—well, it's LA; they probably need the moisture, even if it is a little salty. No, he doesn't mind at all.
Buck digs around a little. Tommy invites him to leave.

These are (mostly) unrelated ficlets that I posted on tumblr, cleaned up for archiving purposes. I may add to this once I've finished posting them. Consider this a work of amuse-bouches, if you will. Amuses-bouche?

Summary
Jee-Yun grows up in the shadow of all the ghosts of all the people who love her. It is not a particularly easy way to grow up, no matter how much they might love her. (Mistakes may not repeat, but sometimes they rhyme.) The village of people raising her do help soften the blow a little, though.
Or: It's Jee's turn for the Buckley Generational Trauma

Summary
“You know, I never saw these,” Buck says, trying to sound light.
“You've been missing out,” Tommy says, blinking and turning a little in his seat so he's facing Buck more directly. “How—”
“I didn't know you'd be here,” Buck admits. “Is it okay?”
Tommy nods slowly, sliding his phone into his pocket. “Yeah, of course. How've you been?”
Buck winces and throws a couple of kernals of popcorn into his mouth. “Okay, I guess? Actually not. I don't know, it's—I’m fine.”
“Uh-huh,” Tommy says slowly, clearly not believing him. “Why don't you get back to me about that in a few hours?”
“Okay,” Buck says, holding the popcorn bucket toward him. “We can share.”
“Okay,” Tommy agrees, grabbing a couple pieces.
--
Buck decides to go to the movies and sees Tommy there.

Summary
Tommy pressed their shoulders together. “Here it comes.”
The storm was abruptly upon them. The lash of rain was deafening before Atlantis compensated for it, adjusting the sound dampeners until the rapid drum fire settled more towards the white noise end of the spectrum.
“It’s not so bad, is it?” Buck asked, quiet and hushed under the dark sky.
“No, it’s not bad at all,” Tommy said as lightning lit up all the beautiful angles of his face. “Hey, Evan, you need to wake up.”
“What do you mean?” he asked, toes and fingers going numb with cold despite Atlantis’s best efforts. “I’m awake. I’m right here.”
The storm clouds were so thick the only illumination came from the lightening. Without it, they were blind.
“Evan,” Tommy said, the atrium groaning as if a great weight was pressing down on it, “wake up.”
Lightning split the sky. Buck woke up.
In which Buck is under pressure.

Summary
The day was bright and clear, harsh winter at last yielding to the softness of spring on the afternoon Buck met his husband-to-be. He was walking through the wood near his home, gathering strawberries with his friend’s son, Christopher, when they saw The Bear.
It was a huge, hulking creature, easily twice the size of a regular brown bear. But when Buck laid eyes on him and moved to place himself between the animal and Christopher, he did so out of caution, not fear. For The Bear’s eyes were intelligent and kind, and when he opened his mighty jaws and began to speak, Buck could not be surprised that such a magnificent beast knew the tongue of man.
Buck and Tommy in a fairy tale romance, with a couple of twists.
