Athena Grant gets a call from the hospital on her day off, claiming that she needs to come in to discuss options for Buck, as his emergency contact. A lot of information is reveled, and she finally understands what the boy she's come to see as her own has been through. Or: Buck throws another clot, calls the 118 & Maddie out on their shit, lets Athena hold him as he cries, and then finally talks to Eddie.

When Eddie gets a phone call from his son's science teacher about reasonable accommodations it sets off a series of events that turn his life completely upside down. "I should probably get going," Buck says. "It's a school night after all." Eddie appreciates this devotion to duty, but at the same time he's a little disappointed. He's repaid Buck's favor so now there's no need for them to see each other except on parent teacher night. But he doesn't want that. It's been a handful of hours and the thought of Buck never coming by again already seems impossible. "Look," he says, letting the words come out of his mouth before he can overthink them back in again. "I don't know about you, but making friends when you're a single dad with an insane job is hard. I have your number. Is it okay if I use it for non-school purposes?" Buck's insta-smile is so bright it's practically blinding. "I would love that."

After losing his wife and struggling to raise Christopher alone in LA, Eddie's parents do the one thing that they've been threatening to do for years. Take his son away from him, leaving Eddie angry, distrustful, and a shell of who he used to be. After leaving the Seals, Buck meets someone who will change his life for the better, and someone who will change his life for the worse, leaving him desperate for escape. Both have the fight of their lives in front of them, and it's going to take the combined efforts of friends, family, and eventually, each other, to get them through it.

Buck loves music. After the lawsuit, he finds the time to express everything that’s happened into song form, building a safety net of lyrical prose. What he doesn’t expect is that his music takes off, skyrocketing him to fame under the alias “Evan Buchanan”. When Bobby forces him to use all of his vacation time, he decides to embark on his North American tour. As his absence in the station grows, the 118 realize how much they ruined Buck. As Buck’s last performance at Dodger Stadium approaches, can the team rectify their mistakes? (This is a LOT of Taylor Swift repurposed as Buck’s songs btw) (btw idk how firefighter leave works oopsies)

After the trial, Buck is desperately alone and everything goes wrong for him. He completely cuts himself off from the 118 and their families. A bad encounter sends him into a worrying mental spiral but he can count on unexpected support who will offer him a way out.Will he be able to ask his family at 118 for help and confide in the root cause of his unhappiness? Will the members of 118 know how to get back to him before it's too late?

When Philip and Margaret decide to visit Los Angeles on the weekend of a big Grant-Nash barbeque, Bobby encourages Buck and Maddie to invite their parents so they don't have to miss out. When Philip and Margaret cause problems, Buck sees what he means to the family he chose. AKA I was angry at the Buckley parents and decided to vent in the form of little sister wrath.

It turns out that Eddie Diaz is a slut. Now Buck is in no way slut-shaming anyone, he would never, not only because it’s completely unacceptable and people can do whatever the hell they want with their own bodies as long as everything is consensual, but because of the old saying and all - those in glass houses, yadda yadda. Buck knows slutty, he was slutty, but Eddie’s slutty is a whole other kind of slutty, not like Buck’s, which was sad and lonely and done for reasons he’s needed a lot of therapy to come to terms with, but Eddie’s? Eddie’s is fun and happy and joyful sluttiness. (or the one where Buck thinks he and Eddie are just friends with benefits so he pushes Eddie to date other people because he’s an idiot.)

"You're exhausting" "Fuck you" Or I'm a Buck lawsuit defender for life Buck leaves after being told he's exhausting. He was never exhausting on the open road when he had nothing to stay for. That's what he needed back. He put people together and then he left. Whenever he stayed too long he would ruin things. So he leaves.

Buck, her brother, the kid she raised, is gone. The kid who helped her through her lowest and brought her up, and cheered her on even through her highest. The kid she never thought she could lose. The kid she can’t believe is gone. How could she? It’s her brother, and she wasn’t even there through his lowest. Or: Post lawsuit, Buck gets into a car accident and dies. Eddie feels a certain way, Maddie doesn’t know how to take it, Athena and Bobby comfort each other, Chris lost another parent.

There's an active shooter situation at Powell Middle School. The 118 rushes to the scene to be of assistance and to ensure the safety of Christopher Diaz and Denny Wilson, who are students there. Science teacher Evan Buckley will do whatever he can to get his students out of the situation safely, though escape seems unlikely from their position in the 3rd-floor library. Things get worse when an explosion brings part of the building down. Amidst the wreckage, he seeks to save the kids and find his sister. He winds up finding the family he never knew he always wanted. Alternate Universe fic. Things to know for the 'verse is that Buck is Christopher and Denny's science teacher at Powell Middle School. Because he isn't a firefighter, he does not know any of the 118. Maddie ended up taking a job as the school's nurse--and she never got introduced to Chimney. The rest is fairly canon. Athena and Bobby are still married. Harry is staying with his dad in Miami. TW: Most of the story will take place during the aftermath of a school shooting where explosives are set off. There are some gunshot wounds as well as other injuries described (though most not graphically).
