    Summary

    It started like this: Evan Buckley fell in love. He got his heart broken. His sister got kidnapped. His best friend left. He got another chance with his love and broke his heart in return. Bobby died. His family fell apart only to him.

    Was this how it was going to end?

    Summary

    Jee-Yun grows up in the shadow of all the ghosts of all the people who love her. It is not a particularly easy way to grow up, no matter how much they might love her. (Mistakes may not repeat, but sometimes they rhyme.) The village of people raising her do help soften the blow a little, though.

    Or: It's Jee's turn for the Buckley Generational Trauma

    Summary

    In the wake of another bust during his apartment hunt, Buck winds up at the place he feels safest - with Tommy. A shared night ends in a shared morning, setting Buck on a path of realization and growth. He has to examine where his place is and whether he can continue existing in the exceedingly suffocating environment of the firehouse that was once his home.

    Choices must be made, and perhaps, it is for the best if Buck does like everyone says and is actually selfish.

    - post season 8 AU where Buck gets back together with Tommy, questions his place at the 118, and gets to spread his wings.

    Summary

    After Bobby dies, Athena—seeking a change, and some sort of meaning in life—gets pulled onto the LAFD's Arson Investigation unit. It's been falling apart at the seams for years now. But she's given her pick of firefighters to fill it out, and she chooses the best of the best: Buck, of course, adrift and grieving; and Tommy, who's been grounded for insubordination and transferred to admin for a while.

    Buck and Tommy dance around each other. Athena closes in on a serial arsonist. Things heat up from there.
