Summary
When he finally came back almost eight months after the ladder truck bombing, Buck hadn't expected a warm welcome from his teammates. But as their resentment towards his choice of suing the LAFD never wavers, he finds himself falling into a spiral of depression that could lead to severe consequences.
The Earth never stops spinning on its axis, and just as the sun rises and sets every day and the moon reflects its light, the universe never stops forcing Buck to deal with new and old traumas.
A visit from someone from Buck's past fundamentally changes the 118's views about their teammate, as old wounds are poked and left exposed, and everyone is forced to learn how to navigate their resentments and guilt.

Summary
It started with a headache.
Or a hug, after the gate slammed down on a rented U-Haul, ready to take his Alpha friend 800 miles away from him. His nose buried in Eddie’s neck, chasing his scent straight from the source before it moved out of reach.
Or maybe it started with a lightning strike, a gunshot, a wave, a bomb, a grenade. An unfamiliar Alpha in the locker room, with a killer smile and an 8-pack.
But Buck first became aware of it as a thumping in his skull as he closed the door to
Eddie’shis house.-------
Or, my take on Omega Buck left behind by Alpha Eddie

This isn’t the first time something’s gone horribly, catastrophically wrong for Buck, but it’s okay. It’ll work out in the end. It always has so far.
This is just a temporary setback. He pinkie promises.
Or, Buck loses his leg, falls in love, and gets his job back. Not necessarily in that order.

Summary
"Buck," Eddie repeats slowly, "I need you to breathe for me."
"I have a daughter," Buck says, hands shaking. "I — I have to go to Hershey and —"
"Okay," Eddie tells him, so calm when Buck is losing it. "Hey, look at me. It's going to be fine. I'll call Chim."
"I'll get your plane tickets," Christopher decides, already up on his feet, ready to go to his room.
Or fourteen years ago, Buck had a daughter with his ex-girlfriend. After she passes away, he learns about her existence, and learns to deal with what being a teenager's father means. Luckily for him, he can count on his 118 family.
