    Summary

    The vast majority of kids currently staring at him were well into their teen years. Some closer to aging out of the system than others, but nearly every single kid was fourteen or older. Still they asked valuable questions and some showed a clear interest in being recruited one day. It wasn’t until the students were disbursing and Bobby had turned to pack up his gear that he felt as though he was being watched. Glancing up from the table where he’d put his turnout gear and assorted equipment his eyes landed on a little strawberry blonde head that was staring at him with the bluest eyes Bobby had ever seen.

    Summary

    “First, you pack up at the house and don’t tell me, and now you just sneak in here and hope no one sees you?” Eddie asked, hurt. Buck felt himself tense up at the pain he caused his best friend.

    “It’s tragic, isn’t it? I can’t even face the people who matter to me,” Buck told him. He turned to look at Eddie.

    Eddie was leaning against the door frame, and Ravi started to walk out. “No, you stay,” Eddie said sternly as he looked at Ravi.

    Ravi looked between them and didn’t know what to do. He leaned back against the locker. Buck let out a frustrated sigh. “What, now?” Buck asked angrily.

    “You think that no one wants to say goodbye? You just left the group chat like it was nothing. You gave your transfer request to the interim Captain after Gerrard left, like it was nothing. No one knows how to talk to you, Buck. You just cut everyone off.” Eddie said. But Buck didn’t cut everyone off, no, he just started talking less, he just hoped no one noticed, but of course Eddie did. Eddie always noticed when Buck self-isolated.

    Or, what happens when Buck moves out, leaves the 118, and ghosts Eddie Diaz?

    Summary

    Bobby opens the door and his jaw hits the floor as he comes face to face with Evan. Evan, his son, who was supposed to be safely tucked away in Hershey with his lovely sister and parents, the Buckleys. Evan, who looks like he hasn’t slept in days and is bearing the weight of the world on his small shoulders.

    “So you know who I am,” the kid starts, his words drenched in bitterness. It breaks Bobby’s heart. This is his son. His son, who is glaring at him like he is the scum of the earth.

    “Evan –” he starts, but the kid cuts him off.

    “Look, I know you gave me up and didn’t want me, but you are my father. I hope you are not too much of an asshole to turn me away now. Please, may I come in? I will be out of your hair soon, I promise.”

    Something in Bobby breaks at those words.

    Summary

    “But I did warn you. Don’t say I didn’t. You got your hopes up—”

    “—The odds were good,” Phillip interrupts. “We weighed our choices and—you know what, no, we’re not talking about this again. Especially not here.”

    “Did you?” Diane cuts in. “Weigh your options?” She nods towards where Evan is examining the green stains on his hands and Valerie snorts a laugh when he stamps his small handprint onto the tablecloth. “He was a saviour sibling. Now what is he? What will you tell him?”

    “We tell him nothing,” Margaret sighs to rid her chest of the burden of hospital air. She wraps her arms around herself to sculpt an embrace her mother has yet to give her. “We lost Daniel. We lost our baby boy.” Her voice breaks at the last word, and she lowers her head.

    “You still have your family,” says her father Arthur, a quiet, hopeful man.

    But his daughter shakes her head. “Not without him. Not anymore.”

     

    OR: A telling of the untold, of the moments between postcards, of the ghost at Buck's shoulder, of the day he said the q-word, of the day he said 'I do'. A rewrite of the show up until season 5 where, eventually, Buck finds a place to call home.

    Summary

    And there, Phillip's voice echoed in his head:“When you lose a child, you… you see him everywhere, in all the people he could have become, in all the lives he could have lived. It’s something you can never recover from, someone who can never be replaced!"

    Because that was the point, wasn't it?

    Buck didn't know how to be a son because he was never anyone's baby; just a reminder of what his parents had lost.

    He knew that, but what scratched the walls of his brain was the annoying thought that crept under his skin and whispered the fateful question: did Bobby also see him as nothing more than what his kids could have been?

    -

    Or, If being someone's son meant living as a fallback, Buck was destined to die in someone else's shadow.

    Bobby won't allow that.
