    Summary

    In hind sight, Buck really should have agreed with Bobby and told people that he had more issues after the bombing than just his leg. Bobby had seen the medical records, but when he’d looked ready to hold Buck back for a second time, to keep him as the man behind, Buck told him he’d lose his job for refusing work based on his new disability. It would be worse discrimination than just holding him back because of hurt feelings. 

     

    The point was, he should have told someone he was disabled. That he required hearing aids to be able to hear.

    Summary

    “We brought something.” Margaret said as she got up and went to the living room, coming back with a bag of some kind. She got a box out, wiped a few tears away, before setting it reverently on the table. It was a wooden box a lot like Maddie had. Daniel’s name was carved on the top in an intricate pattern. “This was the box we made for him.” Buck just stared uncomprehendingly at it. The box on the table was Daniel’s baby box. The keepsake they made for their son. Something showing how much they loved him. Like they loved Maddie. Like they obviously didn’t love Buck.

    “I don’t …” Buck cleared his throat and shook his head, trying to breathe so he wouldn’t cry.

    “This? This is bullshit. You need to go.” Eddie stated, standing up and putting a firm hand on Buck’s shoulder. “You think the way to show Buck that you actually care about him as your son is to bring in the keepsake box you made for Daniel? When you openly admitted to never making one for him? Buck, go to the room.” Buck swallowed thickly and stood up, Eddie’s hand sliding from his shoulder to his back.

    “I’m sorry.” Buck whispered, meeting Eddie’s eyes. Eddie’s face went soft.

    Summary

    Evan Buckley never knew who Daniel Buckley was. To Evan, Daniel was a headstone in a cemetery. He was a ghost who shared a name with Buck and never had any flowers or visitors. Not until Evan found him and decided they were family.

    Evan became Buck became 'Toy Story' became Evan Buckley-Diaz. And through all of it, he wrote post-cards to a headstone in a cemetery in Hershey, Pennsylvania, making sure to keep the forever (almost) nine year old as part of his life.

    So when Buck gets out of the Army, when he's healed as much as he can be, he has an idea. Buck couldn't be the only one in the military who never had family to talk to while he served. Making a non-profit to connect other veterans felt like the most reasonable decision.

    Summary

    “I thought it was one of those made-up movie places.” Buck shrugged, finally handing Hen his ID. “You know, like the coffee shop in ‘Friends’ or Hogwarts.”

    “So how the hell did you get a license?” Eddie asked, sounding nearly as hysterical as Bobby, but Chim had disbelievingly repeated ‘Hogwarts?’.

    “I knew a guy.” Buck sighed.

    “Oh my god.” Chim burst out laughing. “You have a fake ID!”
