Summary
“Can we call someone for you?” the man asked. “A friend, a spouse?”
Buck thought of Eddie. Hen. Chimney. Bobby. He thought of them all out to dinner together at this very moment while he bled in an alley. He thought of the silence, the coldness, the looks he’d been getting from them since getting back to work.
He wouldn't have hesitated for a second to call Eddie just a few months ago.
He swallowed hard, looking back up. “No. There’s no one to call. Thanks.”
“Are you sure? You’re bleeding,” the woman pointed at her own lip, as if Buck was unaware he was bleeding from his.
“Yeah. I’m sure.”
OR: Buck is on the outs with his team after dropping the lawsuit and coming back to work. A night out with a couple guys from B-shift changes everything.

Summary
He’s never seen Eddie like this before. The tension that has seemed permanent in his body these past few weeks, has completely left his shoulders. The pinched look in his eyes is gone. Over Eddie’s shoulders, Hen and Chim have come to investigate the ruckus, and they both appear just as shocked.
“What’s wrong?” Buck asks, wondering if he’s forgotten some terrible dog allergy from someone in the 118 family. He doesn’t think he has.
Suddenly, Chim turns and shouts, “Cap! Did you know that Peggy’s a dog!?”
Or, Buck gets a dog, the firefam are concerned about his new "girlfriend", and Eddie is definetly NOT losing his mind.

Summary
Soulmarks are “private”—adorable, right up until a ceiling says nope, a patch says bye, and the universe flashes a two-flower spoiler in front of witnesses.
Eddie Diaz (professional “I’m fine” liar, accidental feelings hoarder, and very official next of kin) suddenly has paperwork, vigil coffee, and a horizontal problem named Evan Buckley. Between sirens and waiting rooms, the 118 weaponizes hydration, nurses decide they’re family, and Los Angeles keeps doing its dramatic best.
This isn’t destiny so much as stubbornness: flowers, fire, found family, and the world’s softest “oh.” -

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
“...My husband here is always talking about coming to this restaurant.” Buck holds his breath while waiting for Eddie’s response.
Eddie blushes immediately, “Yeah, I just love the food…” he says, nodding. Buck’s heart skips. He thinks Eddie will leave it at that, but he adds to the lie, “See, we’re celebrating our wedding anniversary tonight.”
(Or, Buck and Eddie keep referring to each other as husbands, it’s undoubtedly nice… They’re not together, no. It’s a best friend thing.)
