Summary
When Bobby is forced to take emergency leave, the last person anyone expects to step up as interim captain of the 118 is Evan Buckley.
The last person Buck expects is himself.But with a badge, a clipboard, and just enough authority to be dangerous, Buck decides to do what he does best: take care of his people… even if it means bending a few rules, re-writing a few others, and accidentally becoming the most chaotic captain the 118 has ever seen.
Eddie thinks this is a terrible idea.
Eddie is also deeply, helplessly in love with him.

Summary
“Come on, Eddie,” Buck groans, “You may hide it well, but I know you don’t like Tommy.”
Eddie wants to open his mouth and start telling Buck he is wrong. Wants to explain that Buck has it all twisted. But, Buck doesn’t have it wrong. He has it exactly spot on.
Eddie envies Tommy. He has Buck. He has him and keeps letting him down.
All Eddie can think about in these moments is how much better Eddie could treat Buck. How Eddie could protect him better, love him better, appreciate him better. And in the dark of his room, blanketed in the cover of night: how much better he could pleasure Buck.
That last one was a recent addition to the list of things Eddie was sure he could do better than Tommy. It was one of the handful of things he kept locked in the deepest, darkest parts of his soul, only to emerge in the heat of the moment before being shoved back down in shame.
At Eddie’s silence, Buck lets out a frustrated sigh that snaps Eddie back into focus and the present situation.
5 times Tommy doesn’t show up for Buck so Eddie does instead, +1 time that Eddie made it clear to Buck that he wanted to be by his side for the rest of their lives.
