    Summary

    He should be scared.

     

    The thought passes through Buck’s mind and it’s true but he doesn’t feel a thing. There is a gun pressed against his head and Bobby looks terrified even if he’s hiding it well. Hen and Chimney look scared as well, looking up at him, frozen, from where they’re kneeled beside the kid. And Eddie, well, he doesn’t look scared exactly, but he looks angry and at least that is a feeling. It’s more than the numbness that is wrapping itself around every inch of Buck.

    or

    Buck is depressed and when his life is threatened during a call, things sort of slip out in the aftermath

    Summary

    The memories aren’t fully fleshed out, only flashes of places, people, and feelings. Sometimes they’re tangible, so much so he feels like he can reach it within his fingertips and hold them there.

    He’d be washing dishes, and he’d feel the phantom arms of Eddie around his waist, the junction of his neck and shoulder feeling warm. For a flash, he’d see a different kitchen than the one he was in. He’d be looking at a menu in a restaurant, and he thinks he’d hear Eddie’s voice asking, ‘You gonna order the usual?’ When he glances down at the table, he’d be surprised he’s not seeing a deep green tablecloth. He’d doze off on the couch and feel his cheek land on Eddie’s chest, arms wrapping around him, and he’d open his eyes to find himself alone.

    How do you explain that away? Missing something you can’t fully remember having?

    =

    Or, Evan Buckley wakes up without eight years of his memories with some guy named Eddie Diaz on his bedside. Which could mean nothing.

    Summary

    Eddie’s focus fixes on him as he stares at Buck, letting out a shuddering breath. “Are you hurt?”

    Buck feels the warmth on his side, dampening his shirt under his turnout coat as the blood oozes from him, the feeling of sharp stabbing pain hitting him all of a sudden. But it’s not important. Eddie needs him. He’ll be fine.

    So, Buck shakes his head. “I’m okay, I’m not injured.”

    *

    Buck and Eddie are trapped in a call, both of them being injured. Buck does everything he can to save Eddie, even if that means risking his own life.

    Summary

    A sequel to crashing, i'm crashing right into you, told from Eddie's perspective. Follows Eddie getting the call from Maddie, finding Buck, the painful wait in the hospital, and the two comatose weeks while the follow. Including (but not only): the scene of the crash and the aftermath, a never heard before talk from Eddie to Buck, the infamous 911 call (the way it really happened), and just how close Eddie was to falling apart entirely.

    or:

    Eddie’s world slams back into focus. He starts to run forward, but a body moves in front of him, arms out to catch him.

    “Sir, I need you to stay back and let my people do their job,” a voice says. Eddie barely registers it, shoving at the firefighter and moving forwards again. Another person comes over, each of them in his way. The world is spinning, a blur aside from Buck.

    “That’s my partner!” he shouts, his voice cracking. His voice sounds distant to himself. Everything is numb, all he can feel is a clawing panic tearing at his heart. “That’s- he’s- get out of my fucking way!”

    “Sir, we cannot let you through, this is a-”

    Summary

    Buck gets an unfortunate call while driving and spirals before getting hit by a drunk driver. Surprise, coma!buck is real and can hear the things people (Eddie and Maddie) say while he's unconscious. Follows the struggles Buck deals with while trying to come back and the ones he has to face if he does.

    6.07 spec, so the sperm donor issue is a Thing.

    or:

    There’s silence for a few moments as Buck struggles to no avail. Then, “Chris misses you.” A face flashes in Buck’s mind. Curly hair, like his. Blue eyes, just a few shades off from his own. Glasses. Big, goofy grin. For a beat, he thinks he’s seeing the child he could have had. Then- no, the name sinks in and no, this isn’t his kid. It’s just the one he wishes was his. “He’s been asking about you, if he can see you. I- I keep telling him no. You- you wouldn’t want him to see you like this, when you can’t respond. I know that. But.. it’s hard Buck,” he admits, his voice breaking, “it’s so hard. I don’t want the next time he sees you to be… to be at a funeral. I really, really need you to come back.”

    It’s more painful than the crash itself when Buck realizes he can’t do what the voice is asking.
