Summary
Hi, journal. Weird start, I don’t know how to start. I guess hi, me. This is the first entry of the journal for Dr. Copeland. I don’t really get how it will help, but she’s good at this, so this is probably good too. I didn’t tell her today, but I made the appointment because I’m lonely. I’m really, really lonely. And I don’t know how to say that out loud yet. Hopefully writing it will help.
He puts the pen down and decides that’s enough effort for the first day. He checks his phone, thinking maybe he didn’t notice it buzzing while he wrote. No new messages.
......
Eddie’s in Texas. Maddie is getting ready for baby number 2. Bobby and Athena are building a new house. Everyone is busy with their family, and Buck doesn’t seem to fit anywhere. Dr. Copeland has him start to keep a journal to keep track of how he’s feeling, and all it does is (somehow) make everything worse. When a bad call lands Bobby in a coma and brings Eddie back everything becomes overwhelming fast. Buck starts leaning on his old habits, and it’s not long until he spirals out of control.Series

Summary
“Buck, I don’t want to upset you,” he said. “But can you feel this?” Eddie’s eyes gestured down at his arm. Buck followed along the bandages, expecting to see some sort of spot of red or maybe an odd-angled turn. Instead his heart rose and fell too fast as he realized that since they’d been talking, Eddie hadn’t just had his hand on his shoulder. His other was delicately wrapped in Buck’s exposed fingers, starkly white even against the bedding. Buck tried to move them, wanting so badly, even with all this and even as much as it could give him away, to curl back.
They didn’t move.
……
After a spiral, Buck attempts the unthinkable. Eddie helps him recover, but his lasting injuries present new challenges that jeopardize his career. Now he has to get his mental health in order, face potentially leaving the firehouse, and all while being completely and totally in love with his best friend.Series
