Set in S2 after Wind + Water. They've been all-go-no-quit for weeks, and it's taking a toll. They're hurt, tired, and need down time. But when Mac is grabbed so that his special skill set can be used as a pawn in a crazy revenge scheme, nothing will stop Jack from getting him back. Nothing, that is, except his own pain.

Conrad Hawkins knew he'd be a good doctor, maybe even a decent one.
Now, if only he could get through this internship. No biggie.

Summary
When Mac’s nail split, he was surprised first and foremost. He blinked down at his pointer finger, the white line streaking through the nail, the drop of blood welling up at its deepest part, the SAK responsible closed up and innocent in his other hand. The mechanism was stiff, the knife blade resistant to being pulled out and his fingernail too weak to force it. His nail had bent and the knife had snicked back into the SAK.
He thought; weird, that’s never happened to me.
Then he thought; new SAK.
***
Mac doesn't think he has any feelings about losing the SAK his grandfather gave him. He's wrong.

Summary
When Buck, a Paralympic sprinter, agrees to go on Dancing With the Stars, he wonders if he's just made the worst decision of his life. But his love life is dead, his social life even more dead, and he doesn't know what to do with his life in the aftermath of the Paralympics, so why not jump headfirst into this opportunity?
Eddie has been a professional dancer on the show for years, but after a recent divorce and a disappointing showmance, he's fallen out of love with his job, with dancing, with himself. He has no hope for the next season, until he meets one Buck Buckley.
The pair feel an instant connection, but will it be enough to see them through the trials and tribulations of the next eleven weeks?

Summary
Buck has wanted this—really wanted this—for years.
A kid. A home. Someone who needs him.
What he maybe hadn’t planned for was the fact that Theo is basically a four-year-old clone of himself with less self-preservation instincts and even more energy.
After three months of parenting on very little sleep, an overtime-heavy work schedule, and a migraine building behind his eyes like an incoming natural disaster, Buck makes one questionable decision:
He invites Eddie and Christopher over for pizza night.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary
Theo plops himself onto the closed toilet seat, drowning in his Spider-Man robe while Eddie blow-dries his hair. He leans his face into Eddie’s stomach, humming to himself and fiddling with one of his bath toys that he’d rescued before being plucked from the water. The tub slowly drains, the bathroom is humid and nice-smelling, and there’s the weight of a toddler against him. Eddie isn’t just falling asleep, he can feel the stress of the day melting away.
He sighs. Theo tips his chin to look at him and sighs back, flaring his nostrils like they’re two tigers communicating in chuffs.
“I’m happy that you’re here, Eddie.”
“Yeah,” Eddie says. He aims the blow dryer down the back of Theo’s robe, making him giggle. “Me too, kiddo.”
or, Buck needs some help putting Theo to bed. Eddie has his back.

I know they're losing (and I'll pay for my place by the ring) by funnyfeelingbuckley

Summary
It started as an outlet, at first. A way to let out his anger in a controlled manner, with a willing opponent who would offer him the pain that he deserved.
He felt itchy. Teen pregnancy in a Catholic household had cloaked him with such a thick layer of shame that he needed a way to forget.
It was a good thing, he tells himself.
It was an honest thing - born out of good intentions.
Until it wasn't.

Or
Instead of enlisting in the military, Eddie makes money via an underground fight club in Texas. After threats against his family are leveled, Eddie finds a way to Los Angeles with the help of Athena Grant.
Now working as private security, he begins working for Evan "Buck" Buckley, an arrogant and hot-headed singer/songwriter who may just give Eddie Diaz a run for his money.

Summary
It was a simple scene – just your ordinary, average, run of the mill multi-vehicular accident. It should have been nothing. It was nothing. Until a runaway drunk driver on a bridge changed everything.
And Eddie, working at dispatch, could only listen as the man he loves is washed away by the element that seems determined to take him to a watery grave, one way or another.

if you were a waiting room, i would never see a doctor by bucksprideflag

Summary
And then, from somewhere in the crowd, a familiar voice calls out: “Where’s the patient?”
Buck freezes.
He turns, and there’s Diaz—Dr. Arrogant Himself—striding toward them in dark blue scrubs, exuding confidence like he owns the place.
“Why are you here?” Buck blurts out before he can stop himself.
Diaz doesn’t even glance at him. “Where’s the patient?” he repeats, addressing Bobby instead.
Sure, Eddie Diaz is a surgeon. Fine. But this is their domain—firefighters saving lives in impossible situations—and Buck can’t shake the feeling that Diaz doesn’t trust them to handle it. The arrogance practically radiates off him, rubbing Buck raw with every calm, clipped instruction.
or
The one where Buck is a firefighter and Eddie is a trauma surgeon but they still manage to find their way to each other.

Summary
After the tsunami that devastated Los Angeles, Athena goes to the rescue after a report of people in need of help. To her horror, she finds Christopher and Buck stranded amidst the wreckage of the city. And Buck’s leg is pinned — the same leg that had only just healed from being crushed by a ladder truck.
As time runs out, Buck is being crushed all over again, and Athena faces an impossible choice. With Christopher watching, she must decide: do the unthinkable, risking Buck’s career as a firefighter forever, or hesitate — and let the man beloved by the 118 die in front of the boy who might as well be his son?

Summary
The first thing a soldier learns in a war is that silence is never silent. It’s a presence. A physical weight in the air, thick with the ghosts of things that just fell quiet. The silence in the ICU of Landstuhl Regional Medical Center was the loudest fucking thing Edmundo Diaz had ever heard.

Bobby died, and the world stopped making noise. Everyone talks about how the world stops making sense when someone is taken from you, but no one ever says just how quiet it gets. As if the entire planet was in mourning. Maybe it should be.

Summary
It starts with Buck trying to cope.
It ends with hugs, tears, revelations and a nap.Or:
"Buck hasn't been sleeping.
He tried. He really did. But every time he lays down, he just ends up staring blankly at one of the walls, not noticing time pass, until the alarm goes off and he has to get ready.
It's fine, really. It's not like he's not getting any sleep at all, it's just less. A few hours here and there, mostly naps."Or:
Buck ignores four stages of grief and tries to jump straight into acceptance. Too bad the thing he's accepting hasn't actually happened. Too bad he trips and lands ass first in denial about that part.Series

Summary
Buck tensed up. “What do you know about it?”
“Nothing, nothing man, okay? I don’t know anything except what I’ve seen.”
“And what’s that?”
“I shouldn’t -”
“No, come on, what have you seen?”
“You don’t use your left hand unless you have to, you consistently favor your left leg, and you lean in closer a lot to hear people when they’re talking.”
“And what did that tell you?”
“That something happened to you, probably on the job, and probably not something you’ll recover from.”
OR Eddie joins the 118 after Buck is permanently disabled by an explosion at a call. Despite initial tensions, they learn just how important they can be to one another.
