Summary
When Evan "Buck" Buckley joins the LAFD after wandering the world trying to find where he belongs, he walks into a Station 118 led by Captain Bobby Nash where Tommy Kinard is Bobby’s right-hand man.
Buck, eager to prove himself, struggles to find his place among seasoned veterans who see him as young, reckless and undeniably charming. With a growing reputation for jumping into danger and beds alike, he’s the last thing Tommy wants complicating his carefully ordered world. Tommy’s been hiding for years, keeping his sexuality under wraps in a hyper-masculine environment where vulnerability is a liability. Tommy finds himself drawn to Buck in ways he can’t admit to. Buck refuses to back down in the face of emotions he's not sure he understands. Tensions rise as they clash, putting the team at odds. As the 118 begins to shift around them, Buck’s presence challenges loyalties, tests friendships, and triggers changes none of them saw coming.
In a firehouse where every second counts and nothing stays hidden forever, Tommy must decide if he’s willing to risk everything for a shot at something real—with the one person he never saw coming.Series

Summary
Imagine a world where Evan Buckley never became a firefighter. Instead, he’s a chemistry professor with a Youtube channel called Buck the Science Guy known for science that walks on the wild side, a million followers, and exactly zero chill. When Hen stumbles across one of his chaotic science demos, the 118 is instantly hooked.
Tommy says he’s not into watching idiots commit safety violations for clicks. He’s definitely not watching it by himself in the privacy of his own home. And he's definitely not watching it for the guy's smile. Or his laugh. Or his toned, tattooed arms.
Then one day the team responds to a 911 call about a lab on fire, and Tommy comes face-to-face with the walking hazard he’s been not-thinking about for weeks.
Turns out, real-life!Buck is even worse for Tommy’s composure than video!Buck... and far more interested in getting under his skin. -

Summary
Buck thought not being part of the 118 was the worst thing that could happen.
Until he sued the department and Bobby for wrongful termination—and lost everything that mattered.
One decision, born from desperation and pain, left him severed from the only family he’d ever chosen. He told himself it was the only way to protect himself. He didn’t think it would mean isolation so total it echoed.
This is the story of the fallout, the silence that followed, the rot, the unraveling and the night he almost didn't come back. And the painstakingly long road back towards something like healing.
A story in seven parts: Fallout. Isolation. Decline. The Edge. Intervention. Aftermath. Recovery.Or: Buck falls apart after the lawsuit, and it nearly kills him. But some fractures don’t stay broken forever.
⚠️ Content Warnings:
Major depression, alcohol abuse, suicidal ideation and suicide attempt, emotional isolation, graphic emotional distress, passive self-harm, trauma, estrangement, recovery. Please proceed and read with care. -

Summary
It starts with a bomb—an explosion on the ladder truck that crushes Buck’s leg and reveals a deeper wound: cancer. What follows is not just a fight to survive, but a slow, painful journey back through a tangle of surgeries and unexpected truths—like the brother he was born to save and never got to know.
Now, Buck has to choose: live in the shadow of the role he unknowingly played in Daniel’s fate or rise above it.
