    Summary

    Evan “Buck” Buckley is twenty-five years old, a rookie firefighter, reckless, and desperate to prove himself. Eddie Diaz is thirty-three, a single dad and firefighter trying to keep his past buried. Neither of them means to fall into something secret and undefined, but between proximity, shared trauma, and unexpected tenderness — they face the inevitable.

    Summary

    There was something comforting about the darkness. The void. The silence that washed over him as the numbing nothingness took hold. It seeped into Bucky's skin, settling like a blanket weighted just short of suffocating; warm in the way that left him feeling cold and hollow.
    Maybe the experience was the same for everyone, or maybe Bucky was a special sort of fucked up because initially, the void wasn't so bad. Even when it began to shift around him, shadows closing in, it was fine. Shadows were, after all, precursors of the light.

    ----

    My rather philosophical take on Bucky's adventures through the shame rooms.

    Summary

    “They just follow it around, copying it and helping it and bothering it so much that it's like, worn down into loving the duckling back and looking out for it.”

    “So,” said Eddie, furrowing his brow. “In this scenario, you are—”

    “A baby duckling, newly hatched into the world with no idea what’s going on.”

    “And I am—”

    “The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes.”

    ----

    Eddie has no idea how to cope when a temporary case of amnesia causes the return of Buck 1.0. Buck has no clue why his future self hasn't made the moves on his hot best friend. It all goes pretty well, considering.
