Summary
"Yeah," Eddie sank down heavily, elbows digging into his knees as he started picking at the calluses on his hands while he continued. "How many shifts have I been at dispatch, by the way?"
"You don't know?"
"I lost count. Or, well…" He faltered, eyes flicking around the room as if searching for a misplaced thought. "I didn't realize I was supposed to be counting."
A line appeared between Buck's brows. "You feeling alright? I thought your third week started today. "
"Right. Third week." Eddie nodded mechanically, the motion too sharp. "Sure. That makes sense." His laugh came out thin, humorless. "Have you ever had a desk job?"
Buck shook his head, settling in the armchair across from him. "That's just about the only kind of job I haven't had— unless you count the Fire Marshal gig. But I was still out and about for that."
"Right. Out and about." Eddie's gaze was fixed on some distant point, his voice dropping to a near-whisper. "Did you ever think that… it might be really easy to miss that you were in a time loop at a desk job?"
Or, 3 times Eddie tells Buck he’s in a time loop and one time he doesn’t have to.

Summary
He knows the conversation he came here to have, carefully timed on the one day Chris's school was doing a sleep in in the gymnasium complete with comfy cots, apparently. Private school money — they weren't about to let the disabled kids feel left out. It was all planned so it would be just be him and Eddie — to see him open up or fall apart and it would be okay because Eddie had already seen him cry in a diner. What was one more time?
That doesn't mean Buck isn't nervous as hell.
Or, Buck came to Eddie's house with a six-pack of beer and a secret he couldn't keep — not because he wanted to tell it, but because Eddie already knew.

Summary
"I won't go through it alone — trust me I'm terrible at being alone."
Bobby gave him a shallow nod, "I know you'll try. I believe you." Bobby's voice didn't shake—it never did—but his hands did. Just once. He pressed them flat against the table to stop it, and Buck saw.
And Buck realized, Bobby knew — he might be terrible at it but it was so easy to fall into being lonely and silent and suffering.
Or, Buck realizes at a diner with Eddie that he broke a years-old promise to Bobby not to suffer alone — and Eddie's response reframes what keeping a promise actually means.Series

Summary
Buck had believed his time under the ladder truck would always be his undisputed rock bottom — but at least it gave him a high pain threshold — the crush injury felt indescribable and everyone had been there to witness it. It had to be the worst pain he would ever be in because it was the most noticeable pain he'd ever — ever — be in. He'd thought that event, as the crux of his issues, meant it couldn't really get worse.
It was harder to manage after Bobby died. The grief pushed him past a threshold he didn't even know existed.
Everything was harder.
Living.

Summary
Even if Ravi didn't have to hear about it from Buck (and he absolutely did), he could tell that Eddie had feelings about the partner swap too. Less vocal, surely, but he can feel the weight of eyes following them on calls. Once, he could have sworn he saw Eddie outright glare at him as he double checked Buck's harness before a rappel.
These men were outrageously weird about the fact that the word "partner" no longer belonged exclusively to the other anymore and they were going to drive Ravi to drink or to paramedics training so he wouldn't have to exist in the middle of their frankly disturbing dynamic.
Or how Ravi decides to go for paramedic training.

Summary
"Well," Maddie had said, moving to grab a paper towel and dampen it in the sink, gently wiping away the blood trickling down from Ev's hairline. "In that case, you make one annoying little brother."
It looked like Christmas had come early at the word brother. She should have known immediately, from the grin on Ev's face.
Maddie Buckley is a good sister and her baby brother needs a new name.

Summary
The guy cradles Christopher as gently as Eddie thinks anyone could, and says, “What’s his name?”
“Christopher,” Eddie says, around a lump that’s suddenly appeared in his throat. He turns away, then, ducks down to dig through his backpack so that he won’t do something insane and embarrassing like snatch his baby back immediately after handing him over.
Eddie hears the guy say, “Hi, Christopher. I’m Buck. I like your outfit. Dinosaurs are very cool.”

Summary
"You cannot murder anyone," says Maddie. "Also, if you were going to murder your captain, it would be very stupid to write murder down as your top idea for how to deal with him."
"It's on a dry erase board!" Chim protests. So far, all he's written on the board is Ways to Deal with Capt Gerrasshole, and then 1. Murder? below it. "And I put a question mark. So even if I didn't erase it, the jury would never convict. A question mark introduces reasonable doubt."
Maddie rolls her eyes with a fond smile. "I assume there would be other evidence."
"I would never be so sloppy."
"Again, this would be more convincing if you hadn't immediately written murder right at the top of your list."

Summary
Ravi takes a mental inventory of his team and his breath steadies. Contain yourself. Just until you get them home. Just until you let everyone know. He’s built for this. Survivor's guilt is a companion he first met in the pediatric cancer wards and knows well after four years as a firefighter. He knows how to pack it up into a bottle and tuck it beneath his ribs. Hen, Chimney, Buck, Athena — they’re all carrying worse. He can shoulder the grief for tonight. Ravi has to be the one to tell the others.
Bobby is dead. Ravi has five tasks on his to-do list. He never thought they’d be easy.

Summary
Eddie doesn’t remember the phone call — only that it happened. He wouldn’t be at the airport otherwise. The voice on the other end (Ravi? It must have been Ravi’s) sounded like static. But the aftermath is sharp and painful like a stab wound: a suit in his bag, Chris crying, a weight suffocating him. The directions to Bobby’s church burn a hole in his chest, the directions to Bobby’s funeral.
Bobby is dead and Eddie has a long overdue conversation with his son.

“One dose,” he agrees, his voice solid and unwavering. “And it belongs to Firefighter Han when it gets here. Just wanted to keep you informed, Dispatch.”
Bobby requests a closed channel with dispatch and Maddie obliges.

Summary
[PODFIC] Through a series of very surreptitious back-and-fourth glances between her own book and the guy’s tray, she watches him stack one of the napkins on the back cover of the magazine, set the tip of the pen to it, and then just… sit there.
It’s almost cartoonish how immediately he stalls out.
After a moment, he has to pick the pen up where the napkin starts pulling a blot of ink out of the nib. He lets out a sharp, annoyed breath and goes back in with determination, writing:
Buck
And then nothing else.
