    Summary

    About a week after starting back at the 118, and about three weeks before he was supposed to start getting a steady check again, Buck quietly moved out of his loft—

    —and into his jeep.

    Summary

    If Buck thought the aftermath of the lawsuit was bad, it had nothing – absolutely nothing – on the Winchesters barreling into his life, finding out the apocalypse was imminent, that his own death was a seal, and a demon hitting on him.

    He really should have realized that when an angel shows up to stop you from throwing yourself off a bridge, that it isn’t always a good thing.
    ----
    After the lawsuit, Buck is back at work, hoping to reconcile. Only...it doesn't go as planned. His family hates him and after a lifetime of rejection it's one hit too many. Buck plans his goodbye…only a certain angel stops him, 'borrows' him, hands him the Winchester-patented starter's guide to hunting manual, and gives him purpose again. Too bad that angel was so busy saving Buck, they forgot about the goodbye letters left in the loft.
    ---
    Buck rubbed at the bridge of his nose tiredly. "I'm pretty sure this is kidnapping."

    Dean scoffed. Sam shot him a look. "Think of it as adult babysitting."

    Gabriel waggled a bottle of top shelf bourbon from his perch on the TV stand. "With booze!"

    Right. Buck eyed his new...friend, warily. "Okay, kidnapping adjacent."

    Summary

    Christopher left with barely a word. Bobby retired without telling the team, without even telling Buck. It aches, but Buck is better equipped to handle the situation than most. He’s lived with this pain for so long it feels like a part of him, tucked away in a corner of his heart. People leave him all the time, he’s had a lot of opportunities to get good at what comes after. It hurts, sure, but Buck knows he’ll survive it, knows how to cope with it, knows how to go on living.

    Eddie doesn’t.

    -----------------

    Christopher's gone, Bobby's in forced retirement, Gerrard is a terror, and Buck is trying to keep his family together, at any cost.

    Eddie needs to learn who he is and what he wants outside of being a father, of being a firefighter.

    As they work to rescue the people of Los Angeles from perilous disasters, they just might find a way to save each other.

    Summary

    Sequel to "With a Friend in the Dark.”

    It's been weeks since Buck's cancer diagnosis, and in most ways, things are looking up. The idea of resuming chemo still frightens him, but not nearly as much as it did last time. This time, he has people on his side. But Buck is about to learn that treatment is just the first challenge. Money troubles, identity crises, learning what real love means for the first time at twenty-seven... who knew cancer would be so complicated?

    Eddie, meanwhile, is still wrestling with his guilt and anger over how he handled things the first time. Being there for Buck? That's a given. Figuring out what it means to be Buck's friend through his cancer treatments, in the wake of all that's happened between them? That seems a lot trickier. Even more so when Eddie starts to realize that anger and guilt might not be the only feelings he's having.

    Summary

    He knows he could have called Maddie and she would have been there, though the memory of her disappointment last time stopped him. As for everyone else—even if he weren’t prohibited from talking to them by his lawyer, Buck doubts anyone would have come. The last time they talked was when they ran into each other in the grocery store a week back, and, since Buck is not eager for a repeat of that interaction, he doesn’t even consider calling anyone in to hold his hand for what is, he tells himself, probably just another little blip on his road back to the 118.

    He is able to convince himself of this up until the moment Dr. Gutierrez walks into his room and says, “Well, Evan, you just can’t seem to do anything the easy way, can you?”

    Because, as it turns out, there is a circumstance under which a tiny clot that doesn’t cause you to vomit blood in front of all of your friends and family is worse than three big ones that do: that circumstance is called ‘being on blood thinners.’
    ***
    In the midst of the lawsuit, Buck is diagnosed with cancer. Dropping the lawsuit is easy. Finding forgiveness, less so.
