Summary
Without waiting for a reaction or reply, the man bore down on the gas and peeled down the highway, leaving Buck stranded in the middle of nowhere somewhere along Interstate 10.
And as Buck watched the red brake lights of his Jeep disappear into the distance, clutching his prescription of blood thinners tightly to his chest... there was really only one thing left to do. Tilting his head back until he was staring at the stars, he took a deep breath and screamed into the night:
“Fuck!”
And much like every other one of his recent cries for help, it had gone unanswered.
---
Buck gets carjacked, held at gunpoint, and stranded in Arizona the day before his first shift post-lawsuit. And that's only the beginning of his troubles.

Summary
He realizes it right before everything goes to shit. He’s just standing there in the loft and Eddie’s handing him Christopher’s backpack and talking about “he’s not that fast” and “order pizza” and Buck sort of stares at him—partly in shock, partly in reverence—and he thinks "I love you." He shoves it down immediately, of course, as far down as it’ll go, but the fact of the matter is, it’s there somewhere, floating around inside of him. He can’t get rid of it now.
Not that it matters all that much, though, because there’s the whole quitting thing and the lawsuit thing and the argument in the grocery store and by the time he’s given his (re)start date he knows; he well and truly fucked up.
or: another classic post-lawsuit fic. Angst, hurt, some comfort, more angst, more comfort.- Language:

Summary
Buck had lost-- he was sure of this now. His resolve only lasted a few weeks before his exterior began to crack; he was never a very good actor. He couldn’t keep up the greetings and the asking questions and the easy stroll. He let his shoulders creep up to his ears, let his foot tap incessantly. He did what his Captain told him, but stopped asking for anything more. Stopped following the conversation in the back of the engine on the way to the call; he just stared out the window, thinking about the case to come, preparing for it. When he woke every morning, there was no big recovery milestone to strive for, no big fight for the soul of his career to win. Not even the happy swell of being back on shift -- something so easy to dismiss, that had dominated so much of his life, that he had taken for granted-- that had catalyzed him each morning of his first week back.
An old habit of his had returned. A bad habit.~~
or: after the lawsuit, buck confronts what it was he wanted all along. he looks and looks and longs for it; the team looks right through him. buck breaks-- right down the middle.

Summary
“Everyone, please hold onto your hats, because it seems as though this unnamed savior flies through the streets using some sort of rope-like material that generates from his wrists.” They show a video of a man swinging between buildings. “We thought it was a dramatic feat of technological innovation, until we saw this.”
The man clings to the wall using only his palms.
Maddie’s frozen against her husband, her heart stuttering painfully in her chest.
“People have been giving him a nickname,” the reporter continues. “They’re calling him Spider-Man.”
or,
Buck finds out that with great power comes great responsibility.

Summary
“What the hell are you doing here?” Eddie asks. It sounds like an accusation.
“I, uh— I’m sorry,” Buck stammers, scratching the back of his head sheepishly, his eyes inconspicuously darting down to Eddie’s bloodied hands. “Eddie... What happened?”
Eddie’s brows twitch. The anger behind his eyes burns hot and heavy. “No, Buck. We’re not doing this. This is literally the worst time for—” He cuts himself off, aggressively pinching the bridge of his nose. “You don’t get to— to insert yourself like this. Not anymore.”
Buck’s heart sinks like a stone in his chest.
“You chose this, remember?” Eddie spits, the words dripping with bitter finality.
As soon as Eddie says that, Buck’s mouth clicks shut. Because he doesn’t remember choosing any of this. Not the icy silences, nor the irritated glances, nor this suffocating loneliness. All he had wished for was to return to his family, not for them to abandon him.
OR: The tsunami is long over. Buck keeps drowning anyway.
