Summary
Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish is declared K.I.A during a failed recon mission in 2017. His commanding officer, Captain John Price, takes the loss personally but has no other choice then to move on. He creates Task Force 141, keeps the bad guys scared of the dark, and hunts Makarov relentlessly - the man who killed his sergeant all those years ago.
Five years later, Price fights an assassin with a familiar face.
Spectre-07 doesn’t remember anything. Maybe he had once, but years of conditioning have stripped his mind bare, save for the instinct to kill. It's all he knows, all he craves; the blood of his target between his fingers, at the end of his scope or along the blade of his knives. He's a cold-blooded, empty headed machine, and he doesn't hesitate.
Until he does.

Summary
Buck survived the lightning strike. He healed, he recovered, he went back to work—stronger, steadier, ready to move on.
Or so he thought.
When the symptoms return—quiet at first, then impossible to ignore—Buck’s world begins to tilt all over again. But he doesn’t face it alone.
With Eddie by his side, and the full weight of the 118 behind him, Buck begins the hardest part of surviving: learning to live again.
A story about resilience, fear, found family, and the quiet, fierce kind of love that waits with you in the dark.

Summary
“My mom died,” Buck says flatly, like reciting a fact he read somewhere. He adds a small shrug, as if that explains it. It doesn’t feel real. The words sit in the air, weightless and strange.
Eddie frowns. Bobby shifts closer.
“Are you okay?” Bobby asks gently.
Buck blinks at him, then gives a quick nod, too fast to be convincing. “Yeah,” he says. His voice is thin, brittle. “Did you want me to start lunch? I was thinking maybe that cheesy broccoli bake.”
Eddie’s brows knit together. “Buck…” he says carefully, voice low and steady.
“Or chili,” Buck continues, his hands smoothing out a crease in his jacket like that’s the thing that matters. “I think we’ve got enough ground beef.”
“Buck,” Eddie says again, firmer this time.
Buck’s hands still. He finally looks up, meeting Eddie’s eyes.
Oh.
His mom died.
or
Margaret Buckley dies, and Buck tries to navigate grief, develops a complex relationship with apple pie, while Eddie, as always, is there.

Summary
Buck had spent all his energy on a shift full of difficult and long calls, leaving him drained. Leaving the whole crew exhausted, craving for home, for the warmth of company of their family. Most of them were in the showers or already getting dressed to leave.
Buck still hadn’t taken out his turnout gear.
***
He ends up at the beach in the middle of the night and with a late-night call to Bobby, Buck realizes he doesn't have to keep pretending—and maybe he doesn’t have to handle everything on his own after all.
