    Summary

    Objectively gorgeous is how Ravi thinks of Eddie. It’s just a fact of Eddie, he has a perfect face and pretty eyes and one of the most beautiful smiles Ravi has ever seen. And he’s really remarkably kind, and he’s got a toe-tingling voice, smooth and low. Some people would call that a crush, but Ravi’s decided it isn’t, because of so many reasons.

    Summary

    Buck and Eddie were childhood neighbors, best friends, and almost lovers. Now, being next door neighbors meant Eddie heard everything next door. From the screaming matches, the glass breaking, and sometimes the sound of a hand connecting to a cheek. Buck on the other end, was victim to all of the vile sounds Eddie had heard over the fence. Buck wasn't exempt to hearing sounds over the fence. Screaming matches as well, the occasional door slam, never any hitting though.
    Buck and Eddie had known each other since 5th grade—Buck moved after a messy CPS case that had his parents angry and nervous— they'd been inseparable ever since Eddie had asked Buck if he was okay and "Where did that bruise on your eyebrow come from?”
    They'd grown up together. Phases of their lives passed by, awkward middle school photos to high school graduation. But they'd always kept their same promise.
    We’re gonna leave this place, together.

    Summary

    Percy Jackson was excited—genuinely excited—for the first time in what felt like years. A new city. A new name. A new face, even. The golden hair, the pale blue eyes, the tattoos that traced his skin like constellations—none of it screamed “Percy Jackson” anymore. He was Evan Buckley now, or just Buck, depending on who asked. He’d keep busy—physically exhausted, mentally occupied, emotionally detached. That was the key. No attachments. No friendships. No relationships. No vulnerability. He’d learned the hard way that getting close to people only ended in pain. Either they died, betrayed him, or saw the legend behind the name and stopped seeing him altogether.

    Unfortunately, he hadn’t planned on the 118.

    Summary

    "Eddie says something about the fries being better here than the last place they tried, and Buck laughs, because Eddie is very serious about fries in a way Buck finds endlessly charming."

    Summary

    Once they were settled Evan looked over only to be greeted by the most gorgeous man he had ever seen in his life.

    They made eye contact and the man smiled at him, showing off perfect teeth and expressive brown eyes, the olive green of his jacket making them pop. His arms were lazily draped over the bar, poles in hand.

    “Hey.” The man said.

    “Hey.” Evan replied.

    “Well, looks like you’re stuck with me for the next ten minutes Evan, sorry to crash your solo ride.”

    “H-how do you know my name?” He asked, feeling very flustered.

    The man chuckled, his eyes crinkling with it, “You’re wearing a name badge.” He reminded him. Shit, of course, his name badge, “I’m Eddie, in case you were wondering.”

    or

    After leaving home Buck moves to the mountains and begins a new life in the snow, only to meet a cute skier on a broken down chairlift.

    Years later they meet again, this time at a fire station in LA.

    Summary

    Almost a week after leaving L.A., Evan "Buck" Buckley is back with a plan and a newfound determination to get back the job and the family he lost. This time, he's the one in control and he's adamant that no one will take that away from him.

    He decides to keep his return to L.A. a secret until he's ready to face them one by one. With some interesting but much-needed conversations on the horizon, Buck readies himself for the fight ahead of him.

    OR, Buck returns to L.A. to try to fight for his job.

    This is a sequel to my other Fic 'Can't Keep Chasing This Fire (I'm so Damn Tired)' and would make more sense once that one has been read.

    Summary

    At 8 years old Evan knew that life was not fair. He knew that just because you had a mom and a dad didn’t mean they had to love you. He knew that at 8 years old children were better seen and not heard. He knew the importance of keeping up an image, that everyone needed to believe everything was okay.

    At 8 years old Evan also knew that in the middle of the night, when the world went to sleep and he laid out under the stars, there was more to life than the haunted house he lived in. He knew that the dreams he held onto in his mind couldn’t be harmed by the outside world. He knew that when the hyacinth and primrose bloomed each year the world had hidden beauties.

    (Or: Despite everything Evan Buckley is head over heels for Edmundo Diaz)

    Summary

    The streets of LA passed in a blur, nothing coming into focus from where Eddie’s head was pressed against the window of the rig. His colleagues are talking around him but it had become white noise as soon as they left the parking lot.

    “You’re exhausting!”

    The only thing he could hear was his own bitter words on repeat in his head. He remembered the way he could tell Buck was seconds from crumbling as he spoke. Buck’s face had flashed with pain and rejection before his walls were quickly reconstructed.

    “You’re exhausting!”

    Summary

    The aftermath of the lawsuit was brutal on everyone, and everyone involved was hurt one way or another. So for the past few weeks, Buck kept a low profile when he came back, kept everything on a subdued level, as to not step on anyone's toes. Weeks turned into a month, then it became months. Buck tried bridging the gap, tried every type of olive branch, but no one would take it. Hen was at least polite when she declined; Chimney would scoff at him, Eddie ignored him, and Bobby kept their relationship purely professional.

    But one night changed everything.

    Summary

    “Buck—”

    “Chris was taken,” Buck pushes on, voice cracking as the words spill out of him. He takes another step back and Eddie feels the loss immediately, his body turning cold in Buck’s absence. He resists the urge to pull him back into his arms. “Your son was taken, Eddie, and I tried, so hard, to be there for you today, and not to make this about me—”

    Eddie’s stomach drops, guilt crashing into him like a wave. He feels sick.

    Summary

    Without waiting for a reaction or reply, the man bore down on the gas and peeled down the highway, leaving Buck stranded in the middle of nowhere somewhere along Interstate 10.

    And as Buck watched the red brake lights of his Jeep disappear into the distance, clutching his prescription of blood thinners tightly to his chest... there was really only one thing left to do. Tilting his head back until he was staring at the stars, he took a deep breath and screamed into the night:

    “Fuck!”

    And much like every other one of his recent cries for help, it had gone unanswered.

    ---

    Buck gets carjacked, held at gunpoint, and stranded in Arizona the day before his first shift post-lawsuit. And that's only the beginning of his troubles.

    Summary

    Evan Buckley was truly fucked. One week after leaving the only home he’d ever known—his parents’ house—Ground Zero hit, and the world went to hell. Eight months later, he’s still searching for his sister Maddie in Los Angeles, armed only with a tear-stained note: “I’m leaving Doug. I’m going to Los Angeles.”

    When Buck finally tracks her to Safe Zone 118, he realizes that maybe having a family—and surviving alongside people who actually care—isn’t so bad.

    At 118, firefighter Eddie Diaz, a single dad, turned his fire station into a refuge with his team when Ground Zero struck. Just trying to keep his kids safe, he’s thrown for a loop when a stranger shows up claiming to be Maddie’s brother. Buck is skilled, prepared, and oddly magnetic—forcing Eddie to question everything he thought he knew about survival, trust, and maybe even… something more.

    Summary

    "It’s Dr. Wells.

    The Dr. Wells Bobby had sent Buck to, over a year and a half ago.

    The same one he couldn’t quite admit had taken advantage of him, had made him feel numb whenever he tried sharing his feelings, who made it impossible to open up to any other therapist—

    She was there and she had a baby. A baby who couldn’t be more than ten months old. A baby with his blonde hair and bright blue eyes, not her dark hair and dark eyes."

    or

    Dr. Wells had a baby & never told Buck.

    title from the song by billie eilish

    pls heed the tags, & i'll be putting warnings at the beginning of each chapter, this is going to be a relatively heavy fic (tho it will be focused on recovery) so pls prioritize your own mental health.
