    Summary

    Three shots ring out.

    Steve hears them before he feels them; a warm, wet pain burning in his torso, intolerably excruciating.

    There’s a bundle of squawks and screams, outbursts of panic and anger, and it’s only when Hopper falls forwards to take Steve up into a slightly rough, protective hold, does he realize that two of those shots have lodged themselves in his own flesh and bone. (Realizes that he’d moved, instinctively, to shield El, despite never having spoken to her, who’d the gun had been so precisely pointed at, aimed for.)

    Steve Harrington watches his own blood pool and trickle over a series of hands pressed against him, small and large, soft and rugged, and for a moment, wants to stay like this. He can’t.

    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.

    Summary

    When Buck jumps off a bridge to save a little girl during a call he winds up with a month off work and a slew of people coming to the Diaz house to take care of him and force him to rest. He's not going to admit how nice it is.

    He would also like to point out- for the record- that he technically jumped out of a bus. It just so happened to be hanging halfway off a bridge at the time.
