    Summary

    Evan Buckley can only watch as Eddie Diaz, his best friend and the man he secretly loves, is shot in the street by a sniper's bullet. But Buck can save Eddie, pulling him to safety under a firetruck and keeping him alive till he gets to hospital. While Eddie lies unconscious in his hospital bed, Buck steps up to look after Christopher, to keep the rest of his team safe.

    But Buck is struggling. Traumatised by the shooting, he finds it difficult to move forward. Buck was so close to Eddie when he was shot that he was covered in blood. On his face, on his clothes, in his hair. In his mouth. Now, everything he tries to eat or drink tastes of blood.

    Eddie's blood.

    How long can Buck keep going when he's struggling to eat and drink? How can he be the support Chris needs if he can't function?

    And how long can he go on pretending he doesn't have feelings for his best friend, when he can't imagine being able to cope without him.

     

    OR

    Eddie gets shot and Buck struggles in the aftermath, his trauma stopping him eating or drinking till he's well past crisis point. And what will Eddie say when he returns to consciousness?

    Summary

    A serial arsonist has been terrorizing the tri-county area and the 118 has just landed in his crosshairs.
    When a routine call for a gas leak at an abandoned apartment building turns out to be a lethal setup, a massive explosion rips the structure apart. Separated by floors of the collapsing structure, with no working radio’s, the team is cut off from the outside world and each other.
    Injured, isolated, and running out of time, the members of the 118 must rely on instinct and their unbreakable bonds to find one another. They have to navigate the hallways of smoke and fire to find each other and a way out before the building collapses completely.

    Summary

    “He doesn’t sleep.” The sentence ripped out of Buck before he could stop it. Tears threatened to spill as he brought his hand up, waving it around like it could solve all his problems. Admitting to his failure made him feel like a monster. “We’ve tried melatonin, tea, extra bedtime stories, exercising— Nothing works. Nothing works and Eddie, I am so fucking tired.”

    Pathetic. He was pathetic. Almost every new parent went through a phase where their kid barely slept. Everyone else could handle it, including Maddie and Chim, so why couldn’t he? How did they push through feeling so beyond sick, that left and right and up and down all looked the same?

    Earlier, he swore he saw the version of Daniel he saw in his coma dream lurking behind him. Did they see ghosts too?

    A soft thumb ran over his cheek. Buck couldn’t stop himself from leaning into it.

    Baby,” Eddie whispered, soft and oh-so-concerned. In no universe did Buck deserve him. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

    Or the one where Theo has kept Buck awake for four days straight, and Eddie won't let him fall any further.

    Summary

    “Mr. Diaz!” The doctor said, holding her hand up as she stepped in front of him. “Mr. Buckley came in extremely confused. I know the restraints are upsetting–”

    “Upsetting?” Eddie spat out, two seconds away from shoving her out of his way. 

    “—But they're for his and our safety.” The doctor was quick to finish as if Eddie hadn’t said anything. 

    “Your safety?” Eddie demanded. “He was just tied up by some psycho couple out in the desert and you’re concerned about your safety?”

    Things don't go as smoothly at the hospital as they should.
