    Summary

    After an emergency that hits way too close to home, Buck proposes a spontaneous trip to El Paso to look at houses—and maybe visit Christopher while they’re there. Eddie, initially skeptical, thinks that might be the worst idea he’s ever heard. Three days, just a quick trip. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    It was a simple scene – just your ordinary, average, run of the mill multi-vehicular accident. It should have been nothing. It was nothing. Until a runaway drunk driver on a bridge changed everything.

    And Eddie, working at dispatch, could only listen as the man he loves is washed away by the element that seems determined to take him to a watery grave, one way or another.

    Summary

    After a straightforward heist goes sideways, Buck and the 118 are left broken and scattered in more ways than one. That is, until a mysterious invitation to a black tie ball brings them together and sets a series of events in motion that none of them see coming.

    Can the 118 handle the heist of a lifetime after months apart? Will a certain redhead steal Buck’s heart out from under Eddie’s nose? And where the heck will they find a fire engine on such short notice?

    Summary

    “And you think maybe you’re just really great friends with this guy, but then you start to think about how you can’t imagine what your life was really like before him, and you really don’t want to imagine what your life would be like without him.”

    “Holy shit,” Buck breathes, nodding still. “Yeah, all of that. How’d you…”

    “Have you considered that you may be bisexual, Buck?”

    Buck turns back to TK, frowning. “No? I mean, maybe?” He groans and leans forward to set his coffee mug down before he throws himself back against the couch, running his hands down his face. “I guess I haven’t really tried to label it? It’s not something I really thought about before—”

    “—Eddie?”

    (Buck's struggling with his feelings, so he does the only logical thing to do: he drives 20 hours to Texas after a 24-hour shift by himself to seek out help from some new friends.)

    Summary

    “I-I need you do to something for me. I—” There’s a terrible wheeze and Bobby can almost see the man’s pinched face, desperately trying to smooth any indication of harm. “I need you to tell—”

    “No.” Bobby says strongly into the radio, his eyes never wavering from the collapsed building. He feels himself losing it – he feels the same terrible ache snake in his spine then he did that night, smoke clouding his lungs. “No, firefighter, you’re not doing this. We’re clearing debris and we’ll—”

    “Please?”

    It’s small, almost childlike.

    How could he ever deny a dying man’s request?
    -
    After reevaluating his career, Eddie finds himself in Texas. It’s alright, if not a boring existence. In his selfish moments, he longs for the adrenaline rush of a fire, the open air on his face. But he’s… fine. He has to be. Fine, that is. He moved for Christopher, his life in L.A. nothing more than a painful memory of what could’ve been. Eddie’s fine.

    When his Abuela watches the news, Eddie knows everything will change. A story about a firefighter, trapped in a building with kids. A firefighter wheezing goodbyes for those who have left him. A firefighter from the 118.

    Eddie is not fine.
