Bobby and Buck are trapped in a building, Buck being severely injured. Will they make it out alive?

Bit by bit, Buck stopped.
It began with the little things. First, he stopped checking his phone when he woke up. He used to do it everyday. He’d check for notifications on Chimney’s instagram, or maybe a new message from the 118 group chat. It wasn’t that anyone other than him texted at one in the morning, but sometimes he’d sleep past one of Cap’s old-timey GIFs or whatever.
Sometimes, Athena would text and greet him good morning. And a few weeks into knowing him, Chris would send a morning message begging for help, normally because Eddie was trying to make pancakes again.
So, with everything going on, Buck always made it a point that the moment his eyes opened, he would check his phone.
Until the first week after the lawsuit, and for the seventh day in a row, there wasn’t anything there except a pitfall in Buck’s stomach.
Nothing.
Never.
Not even a quick ‘hello’.
So, Buck ceased checking his phone. After all, why did he even need to?
The sound of your voice by StarlingBite | 20k | 1/1
Evan Buckley is travelling across the country, on his way to start at the LAFD Academy, when he experiences something so impossible, he doubts his own mind.
It can't be real.
Except there's a voice in his head talking to him, responding to him.
It's a man who says he's a medic in Afghanistan.
He's very real.

The 118 only meant to attend a gala—but by the end of the night, Buck was shot, and nothing was ever the same again.

in other words: the slow-moving catastrophe of buck and eddie sharing a search history.
imagine being loved by me by montygreenn | 20.5k | 1/1
Buck copes with unrequited love by maladaptive daydreaming, buying Eddie flowers, and lying to the farmers market vendor about his imaginary husband.
my mind feels like a foreign land by chromatophorica | 41.8k | 3/3
Buck & Maddie can see spirits; not that Buck ever told anyone he could. As he settles more into firefighting, Buck's quickly realising that ignoring them isn't going to work anymore.
Maybe he should've gotten the basics from Grandma after all; then again, he's always been good at winging it.

When Buck said he was a "bartender" in "South America" what he actually meant was "stripper" in "Mexico."
And when Eddie said, "What's your problem?" what he actually meant was, "Is this about the time you gave me a lap dance?"
In other words, there's a few things the 118 doesn't know about Buck. Or Eddie. Or Buck and Eddie's relationship.
if i lay here, would you lie with me (forget the world) by browneyedgirl6 | 90.4k | 10/10
The one where Eddie’s in the army, Shannon gives up her rights to Chris, and Eddie needs a babysitter. Good thing Lena knows Buck, the guy having nothing better to do than help babysit until Eddie gets back. Eddie would come home, and he would leave; it wasn’t like they were going to build some lifetime friendship or anything.
in another life… I could make you stay by pinkdoughnut | 8.2k | 1/1
