    Summary

    Hen stares at Buck for a long moment, then turns on her heel to walk upstairs. “Chim! Did you know that Peanut is a human child and not a small animal?”
    “Buck’s Peanut?” Chim calls back, leaning over the railing. “No? Is she not a dog?”
    “No!” Buck replies. “She’s a preschooler!”

     

    OR: At 22, Buck got one of his hookups pregnant and decided to keep the baby himself rather than let her be put up for adoption. At 26, he joined the 118. You know the rest, right?

    Summary

    Evan and Ethan are nearly identical but their lives are very different. Ethan seems to get all the love an attention from their parents while Evan gets to be out in the world and explore new things. They don't understand why they're treated so differently and there's a resentment that builds up between them.

    Buck, now a firefighter in LA, finally feeling like he's got a life for himself and people that he cares about, begins to have regrets reconnecting with his twin when he walks around that corner and see Ethan kissing Eddie.

    ---
    I don't know, I'm bad at summaries. Buck's got a twin, the twin saved Daniel and the Buckley parents suck.

    Summary

    He’ll never know.
    What he does know is that it’s a normal fire until it isn’t. Until the water Eddie blinked from his eyes starts coming down a little harder. Until Eddie notices that Buck’s attention on the hose has slackened, the man now looking up at the roiling sky above him. Until there’s a flash, a thunderous boom, the feeling of Eddie’s tailbone bruising aggressively against the pavement.
    Until he looks up and sees his boyfriend hanging from a ladder, unmoving. Until he’s shaking the tingling from his hands and racing up the ladder unharnessed.
    It’s a normal fire until Buck’s heart stops for 3 minutes and 17 seconds.
    --------------------------
    Or; Buck is back with the 118 until he gets struck by lightning on a call. When he starts having lingering health issues, will the 118 rally around him the way they should've years ago or will he be left behind again?

    *Happens between Buck coming back from his deployment and the ending of 'Let Down and Hanging Around'*

    Summary

    In another universe, after dropping the lawsuit, Evan Buckley leaves the 118 after a month of no calls and cold shoulders from his so called family. A year and a half later, someone starts shooting first responders. The 118 didn't need Buck, but now they could use some help from Lieutanent Commander Evan "Phoenix" Buckley. The only problem is - no one knows he's a SEAL. Or that he's back in LA.

    Summary

    After suing Bobby to come back to work, it isn't really the warm welcome back Buck had been hoping for. He's solidly on the outside of the 118 family now; it hurts less, thanks to this, when Buck has to leave again for a deployment. Buck comes back hurt, quiet, and tries to live again with everything that's happened to him on his deployment.
