    Summary

    It had only been four weeks since Bobby passed and Buck felt all of it settling harshly right into his bones. It felt like months had passed rather than just weeks and at the same time, like no time at all. It was no wonder he’d had to come out to the beach all on his own in the middle of the night.

    Did he not ask what it was like for Eddie to find out?

    Or, Buck is grieving, Eddie is the worst, and Tommy is the soft place that Buck needs to deal with it all. 8x17 and 8x18 fix it fic.

    Summary

    It took Buck a moment to process what he saw before him.

    Eddie — his arms wrapped around some woman. His face buried in her neck and his fingers brushing her skin. The other man’s eyes widening — his face going pale as he realised they’d been caught.

    Buck barely heard Eddie gasp Chris’s name — the boy motionless next to him as they stared at a ghost.

    At Shannon.

    At Chris’s mother — who Buck knew was dead.

    Had been to the funeral and seen them both through the messy aftermath. Had helped this child mourn once and already knew he’d have to do it again.

    Or: What if it was Buck instead of Marisol.

    Summary

    Hen is the first to sense something off. "You're not eating?" she says.

    "Oh," Buck says, grabbing a roll. "I, uh."

    "It's not poisoned, is it," Chim says with a snicker. He doesn't stop eating.

    Buck doesn't now what to do with that. He just comes out with it. "Today is my last shift. I'm taking some time off. Um. A few months, at least."

    Someone drops their fork. "Whoa," Ravi says.

    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

    “Bobby came up with this,” Athena says, tapping a finger against the letter, “to try and help you. He really believed in you, Buck.”

    “He was going to tell me to leave the 118?” Buck says.

    “You know that's not the point,” She then mumbles more so to herself than to him, “Lord, he said this would be a fight, he just didn't say I would be the one fighting it.”

     

    Weeks after Bobby's death Buck is facing a team that still treats him like he's fragile, a best friend that's taking his home back, and feeling more lost than he ever has. One of Bobby's last gifts to him is a way out and forward, so Buck takes it. He just doesn't necessarily tell everyone where he's going.

    Evan Buckley as he never knew he could be: a story in four acts.
