    Summary

    “Thanks,” Tommy says softly, taking the records. “Sorry.”

    “You keep saying that, but I don't know why,” Buck says, aiming for teasing and just sounding as concerned as he feels.

    Tommy's lips press together, and he blinks right before his eyes get shiny. “My father died last week.”

    Buck remembers the shocked, numb feeling that followed him for days after Bobby died. Weeks, really. But he knows Tommy had a complicated relationship with his dad, even though he rarely talked about it. Just like they rarely talked about anything.

    “I'm sorry,” he says, even though it feels insufficient. “Did you eat today?”

    --

    Buck runs into Tommy and helps him navigate the complications of grief and final arrangements.

    Summary

    Firefighter Evan “Buck” Buckley doesn’t expect to survive the prison riot, until inmate Tommy Kinard steps in and saves his life. Buck can’t stop thinking about him, and the deeper he digs into Tommy’s case, the more wrong everything feels.
    Tommy was convicted, forgotten, and written off. Buck wants to know why.
    What starts as a search for the truth becomes something more, something complicated, dangerous, and impossible to ignore.
    A firefighter looking for answers. A convict who’s lost all hope. In the ashes of one fire, another spark ignites hope.

    Or the prison AU, you didn’t know you wanted.

    Summary

    "Evan," Tommy says, and the brittle look on his face makes Buck stop laughing right then and there. "What's going on?"

    "Oh, you know," Buck says. "I'm being evicted."

    Buck doesn't find a new home. He makes it.

    Summary

    “You know, I always wanted to be a witch when I grew up,” he murmurs into Evan’s curls, hoping it’ll sound even a little bit as nonchalant as he wants, and not as if he’s been worrying about it for the past thirty minutes. The way Evan knows him, he can probably tell anyway.

    “Yeah?” Evan asks, carefully, but Tommy can hear the small smile in the word. “Why didn't you?”

    In a universe where magic is drawn and can be used by everyone, Tommy has always wanted to learn; and Evan, who's studied magic since he was a child, is more than happy to teach him. (bucktommyAUpril prompt 4: magic)

    Summary

    His heart began to race as the doors swung open and out. No light shined in, letting Tommy know it was still night.

    Then, a heavy step started down the staircase.

    Thud, thud, thud.

    Fifteen steps. Tommy counted each one.

    And suddenly, he wasn't alone anymore.

    Summary

    Evan can’t look up at the other man. He knows. Knows that one room is too small for all three of them. Knows that, no matter who’s on the other side of the door, it’s not enough of them. Bobby would’ve told him if the kids were safe and with his sister. If things were actually even a little bit okay, Bobby would’ve told him.

    But he’s said nothing.

    His gaze shifts over to the number on the door. 335. He reaches out and puts his hand on the door, forces another breath down.

    Pushes it open.

    The rhythmic sound of machines meet his ears almost immediately. He can hear the ECG tracking a heartbeat, the pressure of oxygen coming through a ventilator. The room smells awfully of antiseptic and burn cream, and by the time his eyes fall on his husband, any ounce of his will to keep going lies at his feet like his son’s forgotten security blanket.

    OR: The worst day of Evan Buckley's life comes to fruition, and it's his undoing. Their people are left to pick up the pieces of each other in the aftermath.

    Summary

    Evan sits back on his haunches, unweighting Tommy's legs, and he feels like maybe he could float away from here, unmoored as he is from the bed, from the situation. He's in trouble now, or he will be in a few seconds, but for just this moment he's removed from the forces of gravity, and it feels nice.

    "Tommy," Evan says, a tremor in his voice, and that's enough to bring Tommy rocketing back down to Earth. "That wasn't a sext, was it."

    Tommy makes a decision. Buck meets him halfway.

    Summary

    “Show me the goods.”

    “Love you too,” Tommy says, amused. “What makes you think I have anything good to show you? Maybe it was just me who wanted your attention?” He teases and Buck rolls his eyes with no real heat.

    “Come on, I need my fill,” Buck pouts and Tommy laughs before he’s reversing his camera and Buck is met with their daughter’s dark curls as she sits on Tommy’s foot with her tiny arms wrapped around Tommy’s leg. She’s giggling the whole time and Tommy lifts up his leg slightly, which brings out a joyful squeal from their little girl.

    Buck can’t help but smile down at his phone, not caring how smitten he must look. It wasn’t like the station wasn’t well aware of just how truly gone he was for his family.

    In the background he can hear the radio going which Tommy likes to put on as he cleans, Mia must have joined him at some point and decided the best place to be was on her father’s foot.

    “I think she’s dancing with you babe,” Buck says warmly.

    Summary

    Tommy has always been able to see ghosts.

    Usually, they stick around for a few days or weeks, maybe several months before they get what they need to move on. There was one ghost, however, who appeared when Tommy was young and seemed to be unable to get the closure he needed to let go and so he just… never left.

    He got used to it, after a while, and Daniel became a consistent companion throughout his life.

    Or, the one where Tommy can see ghosts and is haunted by Daniel Buckley for reasons it takes him almost thirty years to understand.

    He watches the way Tommy’s gaze won’t meet his, his face pale as though all the blood has been drained out of him. He had fully expected his boyfriend to go off and get pissed. Not…this. Definitely not this. And it had been that that pieced it all together for him.

    “How come you never told me Gerrard accosted you?”

    --

    Or, that "baggage" Tommy's been carrying around is the last thing Evan ever would've expected.

    Summary

    At 15 years old Tommy has given up on the idea to leave the group home. He doesn’t want to leave. Over the past three years there have been five different foster families and he doesn’t know which kind of them is worse: The kind that seem nice and like they care, but send him back anyway after a couple of weeks, or the kind that are terrible from the get-go. It seems like the social and group home workers have given up, too. “It’s difficult to find the right fit”, they tell him and what they mean is: “You are difficult to fit in.” He knows it’s not entirely his fault per se. Younger children just have a much better shot at this than fully grown teenagers. Maybe if he was a girl at least he’d stand half a chance, but Tommy isn’t small or nice or cute. He’s tall and broad and he hides his feelings behind a scowl. He looks like trouble and everybody knows it.

    Or: Tommy has a complicated relationship with feelings of love. His childhood wasn't exactly full of it and he lost love in many ways over the years. Family has always been a touchy subject, friends are complicated and not as reliable as they seem. Romantic love is on a whole other level entirely. One thing he's learned by now: Love is always, always conditional.

    originally a mini on tumblr titled "remember me", loosely based off of scenes in A Walk To Remember, now expanded.

    “I’m scared of not being with you,” he admits, his voice choking off into a whisper at the end as blue meets blue.

    Tommy clenches his jaw, shaking his head as both of his hands come back to Evan’s face, pulling him closer. “Baby, that’ll never happen.”

    Summary

    Tommy slammed down on the talk button. “Mayday mayday mayday! Wallis Lodge. Several armed assailants and multiple hostages. We need help! Mayday!”

    The radio bleeped a dooming cheerful noise as he let up on the talk button.

    Tommy strained to hear if anyone picked his signal up from the chatter. He was trapped in a windowless room in the middle of the mountains during a snowstorm so he didn’t have much hope but he had to try!

    Static filled the channel.
