    Summary

    “You okay, Buck?” Bobby asked, raising his voice a few notches so that Buck could hear him across the living room and down the hallway.

    “Uh…yeah?” Buck answered softly and confused. Truthfully, he didn’t know. A few minutes ago, he started to feel a little fuzzy. The pain in his leg had begun to recede, but at that same moment, he felt tighter everywhere else. His chest, his skin, his throat. All of it just felt…off. The colours around him began blurring together, but he could tell—he knew—something wasn’t right. The last thing he was aware of was the rushed sound of Bobby’s footsteps before the world faded into blackness.

    “Shit,” Bobby cursed. “What’s wrong?” He blurted out, even though he had a pretty good idea of what was happening. The only missing piece was why.

    “C–can’t b–br–breathe…” Buck wheezed, the air whistling in his throat as he reached for Bobby’s hand. “S’m’th’n’s wr’ng…”

    “Hey, hey, it’s gonna be okay. Just stay with me, kid.”

    The untold story of how Buck’s allergy to naproxen was discovered. Set during his recovery after the ladder truck bombing and explosion.

    Summary

    “Tilt your head back,” Eddie says, his voice barely audible over the running water. 

    Buck does as he was told, tilting his head back and closing his eyes to the spray of water dripping onto his face. Eddie’s hands go to Buck’s hair, lightly scratching and massaging his scalp. The familiar smell of his shampoo fills the shower. 

    He relaxes into Eddie’s touch, a small hum escaping his lips as Eddie works the shampoo into his curls with slow, methodical movement. Given the chance, Buck would fall asleep in the shower just from the sensation of Eddie’s fingertips against his head. The touch is light, delicate, intimate in a way he hadn’t expected. The butterflies continue to flutter in his stomach.

    “Enjoying yourself?” 

    “Uh-huh,” Buck says, all other words failing him.

    “Good.” Eddie laughs, moving to wash the shampoo out of Buck’s curls. “You just relax, I’ve got you.”

    Summary

    "Now Buck’s heart isn’t beating the way it should. And focusing on getting Buck to safety is easier than facing the anguish in his own chest."

     

    or I don't like how they electrocuted Buck AGAIN and he was ok like nothing happened. So I decided to give him more whump.

    Summary

    Not a who. 

    A what. 

    Because that’s what New Mexico had done to Buck. 

    It had taken his belief in people and warped it into something painful and twisted. 

    Because Buck didn’t see a person when he saw Earl Sheets. 

    He saw a nightmare. 

    His nightmare. 

    His nightmare standing in the firehouse and nearly three feet in front of him.

    Summary

    "Heading to the collapse site to find Buckley."
    "Diaz, I said to regroup," Gerrard states firmly.
    "All the disrespect in the world to you, I don't actually work for you and I'm not leaving Buck alone," Eddie heads down to the street level with Ravi on his tail.

    A canon divergence of sorts - Buck doesn't find out about Eddie's job offer before their shift. He finds out about it on shift right before the building collapse in Seismic Shifts; and because Buck has such great luck, he proceeds to get trapped in the building.

    Injured and pinned, will the 118 (and Eddie) come to his rescue?
