    Summary

    Buck thought going back to the 118 would be hard, but he knew that his team, his family, would move on from the lawsuit. Only Bobby placed him on B-Shift where his team and new Captain have made it their mission to make Buck's life a living hell. When it becomes too much and Buck starts thinking about ending it all, he receives a life-changing phone call from Captain Owen Strand who would like Buck to come join them down in Austin at the 126. Buck immediately jumped at the opportunity to get away from everything. Only his mental health problems didn't go away with the move and Buck struggles with what happened and how to start a whole new life. The 126 are not about to let him go through this alone and together they show Buck that he has a family with them and they would never turn their backs on him.

    Summary

    Summary

    “He baby-trapped you,” the man said with a misplaced confidence that was almost impressive, “that’s fucked up, man.”

    Buck blinked. Then blinked again. Then, “Uh... no. No, that’s not—”

    “Shut it, Benji, that’s not what happened,” the other robber scowled, no longer trying to pretend he wasn’t eavesdropping. “They’re both dudes. A dude can’t baby-trap another dude.”

    “Of course they can. Equal rights and shit! That’s what the parades are for.”

    ---

    There's a hostage situation at the bank and Buck is forced to reevaluate his relationship with Eddie (and vice versa).

    Summary

    Double Life with Etho and Joel but reimagined as a game show. I'm including a few other ships but the focus is Boat Boys. There may be a few chapters where it is another ships POV (Like Impdubs, Desert Duo, and Ranchers). For my plot I'm not exactly following what happened, but I will stay true to a few things and I will reference a few series' outside of double life that I think tie in well for characters. I also can't promise things being chronological (Ex: the bad boys) I feel like Etho and Joel's relationship is the way it is because they were forced together.
