Summary
Buck’s jaw clenches. “This isn’t you.”
Eddie’s smile turns mean, borderline unrecognizable even to himself. Buck is right, this isn’t him. It doesn’t even sound like his voice. But he’s exhausted. He’s hurt. And he’s done pretending there’s a way out of this that doesn’t involve blood in the water—they’re too far gone for that.
This wasn’t the plan, but he doesn’t pull back from the fight. He doubles down, clinging to the belief that devastation is better than emptiness, that being hated is better than being erased.
“Funny,” Eddie says softly. “Is that what you tell yourself when you fuck anyone who’ll have you? That it doesn’t mean anything? That it’s easier than admitting you’re trying not to think about me?”
Or,
Eddie figures his shit out. Eventually.

Summary
So really, after all the training, after all the years of call after call and day after day pulling people out of their worst nightmare, he should’ve known.
He should’ve known that dead weight doesn’t feel the way living bodies do. That every ounce of it doubles when it’s someone you love.
All he can think about is getting Buck back into his arms, keeping him there, holding tight enough as if he can force the life back into him by sheer proximity. The thought of letting the line slip through his fingers feels worse than dying, but he calls for more slack anyway, watching as the distance grows between them.
Those were priceless seconds he just wasted, he thinks.
He should’ve known better.
He should’ve.
Fuck.

Summary
The call had started like any other. Annoyingly ordinary, even.
A two-story residential structure with a partial collapse following a gas explosion. Something Eddie figured would be quick, since the three occupants were already accounted for, with one possible missing person.
And then they went inside
And then Buck was gone
Or Buck falls and Eddie realizes that he can’t let this happen again and ignore the feelings it gives him as it crushes his chest

Summary
“We’re getting a new recruit next week,” Bobby started, watching Buck carefully. Clearly he expected a reaction, and Buck shoved down his initial protests. What the hell did they need another probie for, anyway? He didn’t need help. Everything was fine the way it was. “His name is Eddie. He’s new to LA, and he and his son have been staying in a hotel while they try to find a place to live.”
Buck frowned, his displeasure at the possibility of being replaced melting away.
“That must suck,” he said, wincing at how ineloquent he sounded. “I mean– for the kid. A hotel isn’t a great place to stay.”
“It isn’t,” Bobby agreed easily. "And I was thinking…”
“I have a spare room,” Buck said, the realization dawning on him.
“You do.”or
