What a beautiful fanfic, reads like Oscar Wilde or something similar. Maybe doomed love, maybe the most beautiful slow burn. Author is incredibly talented.

Summary
Buck had lost-- he was sure of this now. His resolve only lasted a few weeks before his exterior began to crack; he was never a very good actor. He couldn’t keep up the greetings and the asking questions and the easy stroll. He let his shoulders creep up to his ears, let his foot tap incessantly. He did what his Captain told him, but stopped asking for anything more. Stopped following the conversation in the back of the engine on the way to the call; he just stared out the window, thinking about the case to come, preparing for it. When he woke every morning, there was no big recovery milestone to strive for, no big fight for the soul of his career to win. Not even the happy swell of being back on shift -- something so easy to dismiss, that had dominated so much of his life, that he had taken for granted-- that had catalyzed him each morning of his first week back.
An old habit of his had returned. A bad habit.~~
or: after the lawsuit, buck confronts what it was he wanted all along. he looks and looks and longs for it; the team looks right through him. buck breaks-- right down the middle.

Summary
Tommy stood there like a beefy Disney prince, a sparkle of knowing amusement in his eyes, to which Buck silently responded by pinching his brows together and frowning—confused and curious about what Tommy seemed to know that he didn’t.
“Well, if it’s okay with you,” Tommy said, “I think I’ll stick with Evan—I got a feeling he’s gonna be worth getting to know.”
And getting to know each other was something they very much did.
He’d spent so long thinking it mattered—always somewhere in his mind, the worry that a part of him was a lie—not sure of his own name—but now he got it. He did.
Because when he’d left Pennsylvania, he’d done it feeling like a failure at being the Evan his parents had wanted for a son—and then years later, after learning of Daniel, the curse of his name only felt worse.
And he’d expected it to stay that way—despite the copious amount of therapy he endured—though in his defense, he never knew that someone like Tommy had been waiting in his future—ready to say his name a million different ways until he learned to love the sound of it again.

Summary
A whine unraveled in his throat. “This isn’t—why can’t you just—just go home!” Shaking his head, he twisted his fingers into Tommy’s shirt, refusing to let go, as the internal battle tearing him apart continued to rage. “I don’t—I don’t deserve this!”
“Shh, hey, easy,” Tommy said, tone taking on an edge of soft demand. “Breathe with me, Evan—because right now, the way I see it, me leaving? Not gonna happen—at least anytime soon. And especially when I think you’re full of shit.”
He pressed his forehead into the crook of Tommy’s neck, fingers like claws in the man’s shirt, refusing to let go. If anything, he got closer—clung harder—not allowing Tommy to leave even if he tried.
An exploration of what it means to love, including the fear that comes with allowing those ugly bits of yourself to seen for the first time and learning to overcome it. A story of snotty tears and broken bones, handholding and lashing out, two people who might just be a little bit broken proving what the power of love can do
