I'm really glad you liked the idea of Seal!Buck and Army!Tommy🥰 It's been sitting in my head for a long long time and i think about this au every day. But i can't turn it into full story not just retelling 😅

So, here is a snippet that i got after your questions. I wanted to write about Buck telling Tommy he's going to 118 but i got carried away in different direction...

Evan was nervous. Today is the day when he'll know where he's going to work for at least a year. LA has a lot of fire houses and it'll be an honour to work in any of them for sure. Evan knows not every fire house can have a great captain, Tommy wasn't telling him much about his captain in 118 but the little he did wasn't good at all.

Evan knows only one LA fire captain. Sal DeLuca, Tommy's good friend, who's he been working with for a few years. They haven't lost touch when Tommy left and it was very helpful. Sal helped Evan to get into the fire academy even when there weren't spots anymore.

Evan's training course wasn't as long as others. His experience with Seals helped a lot even though for the last year he's been carrying a child inside and then outside himself. He needed only 3 months to finish the course. And now he's standing in the academy waiting to know where his probation year will be. He already knows it won't be 122 station, Sal doesn't need new firefighters right now, at least he promised to tell everything he knows about the station Evan's gonna end up in.

Finally Evan can see his instructor who's coming to him with a small smile. He really hopes it's a good sign and the station he was assigned will be a fit for him.

"Firefighter Buckley, we've got a decision where you're going. The station where you're going to have your probation year is in need of good firefighters. It got the new captain recently, he changed things and a lot of new spots there got opened. The firefighter with your qualifications and experience will be very needed there. Plus this station is close both to your house and your daycare, it was important to you, i know, so consider yourself lucky. So, here," the instructor gives Evan the papers he came with. "There's all your paperwork, you should give it to captain Robert Nash 2 days later at your first shift in 118 station."

That was a surprise. Yeah, Evan thought he can got a spot in 118, as it really was one of the closest stations to the house, Tommy bought this house just because of it after all. Tommy's experience in 118 was dark, he's been trying to fit there even though he was nothing like its captain and his boys. That's why Evan refused to think of possibility to end up there. He wasn't sure he could be there and hide just like his husband, lie to everyone.

But it has the new captain now and looks like he was cleaning the station and firing people. Or transfering, like Sal. Sal didn't tell him a lot about Nash, just that they didn't got along and had different views on how the team should work. Looks like it's now a time to ask Sal more about it. But at first he needs to tell his husband, he's going to spend a year in a place Tommy hates so much that he escaped to a war again.

RINAAAAAAAAAAAA!! THIS IS EVERYTHING OMG!!

Oh I love this. Imagine Buck entering the 118 not looking so much to belong (he already feels like he belongs, he already has a family, that's not what he's seeking here) and having his guard up because of what he heard from Tommy! Omg imagine Buck who doesn't have a good first impression of Bobby because of Sal! It'd make for such an interesting probationary year for Buck! I feel like, in a way, it'd make it easier for him to befriend Hen and Chim, and even Bobby? Cause he's a Buck who's more comfortable in his own skin. And then he starts to like Bobby, of course, because there is no universe where Buck doesn't admire Bobby Nash, and he tells Tommy about him when they call, and Tommy is baffled by how different he is from Gerrard? Rina it'd be such a lovely story if you decided to write it, but I feel so lucky you chose to share the snippets with me bc wow. Now it lives in my mind rent-free as well hehe thank you so so much for sharing it with me ♥

(also I'm def posting your mpreg prompt very soon, I promise. I'm working on it!) ♥

Rina I can't stop thinking about your soldier!Tommy mpreg idea!!!

I'm just imagining Tommy coming home, holding their baby in his arms and giving them his dog tags 😭😭

And maybe a parallel scene with Shannon and Eddie, where Buck begs Tommy not to go again, except Tommy listens, and promises Buck he already asked for official dismissal because he has no plans of leaving his family ever again? 🥺

Thank you, Gabby! 🥰 I'm really happy I'm not the only one who has this idea in my mind all the time😅

Tommy giving the baby his dog tags is so sweet and cute and wow 🥹 I even can imagine it in head right now.

And the parallel with Eddie is so yeah i agree. But in my head i imagine Tommy really wants to leave the army and be with his husband and child but the army isn't letting him go before the end of his contract because they're mad at both of them for secret relationship and Buck's leaving because of his pregnancy. It's kinda a parallel too. Army lets Eddie go and take care of his disabled son and gives him honorary discharge but he doesn't take it and goes back to war. And Tommy who with all his soul wants to be with his family but the army won't let him go without big payments and maybe even threat of jail. Of course Tommy goes home as much as he can during this time and calls Buck almost every day but it's still not enough.

I have in my drafts the snippet of this story where Tommy meets the 118 for the first time as Buck's husband actually. And i chose the name for the baby! I really went in deep search of what American and Italian (Tommy is half Italian in here) names mean but in the end i chose what sounds nice not because of the meaning 😀. So, i hope you'll see this snippet soon🤩
