Seismic Shift

by themrscevans

Summary:

[SEQUEL TO Fault Lines]

Ava Rousseau thought she’d finally found steady ground — until the world tilted beneath her feet. What begins as a family learning how to stand together fractures under sudden loss, leaving Buck, Eddie, and Christopher to navigate a life reshaped by absence. Love doesn’t vanish, but trust wavers, roles rearrange, and every day feels heavier than the last. Because fault lines don’t just crack — sometimes they shift the entire landscape.

Chapter 1: Author's Note

I hope you all enjoyed book 1: Fault Lines! Before I start posting book 2, I just wanted to note a few things.

1. Almost every chapter will include a hospital/emergency room, talk of mental health, therapy sessions, and light profanity. I will also include other trigger/content warnings with each chapter (I'm not entirely sure if I managed to get all of them, so if you see one that I missed, please message me privately).

2. I will only say this once: I do not own the show 9-1-1, any of its characters, or storylines.

3. I do not speak, read, or write French, Armenian, or Spanish. I used Google Translate. If something is wrong, please message me privately so I can fix it.

4. I am not a medical student or medical professional in any way. The only medical knowledge I have is from ER (which you should watch, btw, because it's great!) and from what I've Googled (please don't Google your symptoms).

5. I am not a government official in any way. Any knowledge I have about laws, police, federal agencies, etc., comes from what I have seen on TV and found on Google.

6. This story will be exclusively posted to Tumblr, AO3, and Wattpad – if you find it somewhere else, please notify me immediately.

7. Positive comments only, please. Any hateful or negative comments posted will be deleted. Anything else can be sent to me directly through messages. If you don't like the story, don't read it – simple as that.

8. I will post a new chapter every other Wednesday.
