Summary
It’s been a month since Tommy walked out of Buck’s loft, out of his life, and Los Angeles is feeling less and less like home; but when bushfires in Australia leave the nation pleading for help from the USA, both Buck and Tommy are thrust right onto the fireline, and back into the other’s vicinity. Between the heat and the danger, tensions are running high; volatile words are thrown around like confetti, and love is realised a little past the due date. Sometimes, though, you have to fight for what you want; or you risk watching it burn to the ground.

Summary
Buck, Eddie and Tommy are in the best relationship of their lives; but between the danger of the job and the harsh realities, at times, of relationships, they can feel so distant. Tommy’s taught his loves so much, in their time together; but now, this time, he teaches them the beauty of love, and the price to pay when it is lost.

Summary
Running from Evan wasn’t running away; or it was, but now Tommy’s standing on Sal’s front step, and it doesn’t feel like it anymore. He ran from something fake– wonderful, but fake – back to the one thing, the best thing he ever had, and that isn’t running away. It’s running home. Or the one where Tommy turns up on Sal’s door after a decade of silence between them, and both of them realise the thing they always needed.

Summary
Tommy knew, when he left Buck, that things would become more complicated; his friendship with Eddie is being practically poured out down the drain, and what was left of his friendship with Howie is slowly disintegrating, the phone calls landing fewer and farther between every time. It’s not surprising, really; they’re his friends, yes, but they’re Buck’s family, and that takes precedence. It would’ve been nice to have someone to call that night, when he came home, sure; but he didn’t have that luxury, and it’s fine. He’s been through plenty of breakups on his own before. Or the one where Eddie has a protective streak, Tommy can’t believe in something he can’t have, and sometimes you have to walk away just to stay on your feet.

left my past life on the ground, think i'm more alive, somehow by reyesdiaz (whateverthecalamity)

Summary
The wind is whipping around his ears, and Tommy folds his arms over, walking down the street; he should’ve driven, really, shouldn’t he? Found somewhere else to stay, because now his car’s at the firehouse, and that’s at least a half-hour walk. He would give Sal a call, or one of the other guys from the firehouse; but that would demand his lies, right now, and he doesn’t want to do that. He doesn’t want to drag himself down from the high he’s on at this moment, the high he’s getting from finally giving his truth a try. Or the one where Tommy’s just left Abby, the truth is the road less taken, and sometimes you have to let go of who you are in favour of who you want to be.

Summary
It’s been two months to the very day, since Tommy left Buck’s apartment; the summer is pulling to a close, and the chill of the wind seems to chase Buck everywhere he goes, wrapped in the still, cold ache of loneliness. He hadn’t thought to use the word love, with Tommy, not until his heart was left like a doormat to his person, trod upon every time someone walks out the door. Or the one where Tommy and Buck’s reunion comes during Tommy’s worst times, and Buck realises that he’d give anything to keep them.

Summary
The summer is fading fast, and a chill follows Tommy through the firehouse doors; but it’s fast replaced with a warmth that reminds him distinctly of thick woollen sweaters and the space heater that sits in the corner of the living room at Harbor; it sends a streak of something like longing through his chest, but he presses it down, swallowing slowly and letting his eyes flicker across the room. Or the one where Tommy comes back from Harbor to sub in for a shift, and the 118 has a whole new feeling.

Summary
When Tommy returned to the States, to his life in California, after a decade in the service, the haunts were worse than ever; men and women he’d called brothers and sisters seemed to close in on him, pulling around and pleading for him to fix it, to move them on. Or the one where whoever is closest when someone dies becomes haunted by them, Tommy Kinard has more ghosts than most people, and our biggest secrets can cause the greatest divides.

Summary
A part of Tommy wants to leave; even with the way they’ve re-enveloped him into the fold, his relationship with both Hen and Bobby is one that exists purely in relation to Evan; the person that Tommy was, when last they knew him, is not one that reflects who he is now, nor who he wants to be. Sitting with them, existing with them enshrouds him in a sense of shame he didn’t know he carried, and he can already feel the bitter taste of it rising in his throat. Or the one where Tommy and Evan are going strong, the 118 isn’t what it used to be, and Tommy will always feel a little deserving of what he underwent there.

Summary
Tommy’s praying to the universe, really, that Sal’s number still works; it’s been a long time, and chances are he’s changed it, but Tommy isn’t sure how else he’d reach him. Last he heard, Sal was over at the 122; he could always head in and see if anyone around there knows anything, but it’s a bit of last resort – and one that rushes to the back corners of his mind when the call is picked up. “Sal DeLuca here, who is it?”
“Hey, man,” Tommy says carefully, leaning back against the kitchen counter; he’s making breakfast for Evan, who’s just on his way home from a shift, and the smell of bacon is lathered thick in the air. Tommy breathes it in slowly before he speaks, trying to calm his racing mind. “It’s Tommy Kinard.”

Summary
There was an immediate flicker of recognition in Evan’s eyes, when he spun around; his mouth had curved immediately into an open smile, and he’d tugged Tim into a hug. Fourteen years, erased with that glance of familiarity and the touch of comfort against Tim’s arm, because he suddenly felt exactly as he did at seventeen, when he was kicker on the team that Evan dragged to two state titles. Or the one where Tim finds an old friend in his hometown, and a lot has changed since high school, but the feelings haven’t.

Summary
Despite Tommy’s assistance, the two of them can’t find it, and apparently Buck and Christopher have no ideas of where else the folder could be; which is a real issue, at this moment, because Eddie’s parents seem set on taking their grandson back to El Paso, even against everyone’s wishes. A custody battle is a flame burning past the horizon, and Buck needs to be prepared for that fight – which means the will. Or the one where Josh is looking for Eddie’s will, and he finds something else, too.

Summary
No firefighter is a generally fearful person; you can’t be, you wouldn’t cope with the weight of the job, with the heat of an emergency. But for the last two weeks, Buck’s finding himself constantly on edge or even blatantly scared, amusement tinging the edges of his fear. Or the one where Tommy doesn’t scare easily, Buck definitely does, and it’s time for a little bit of revenge.

Summary
TK feels himself freeze; he knows, in this situation, he should say something; but he isn’t sure what he could offer, what kind of tone or what words or what, even, he should feel. Because he only met Eddie once, but under those conditions? In that moment, when it was life or death for Owen and for Hen, Eddie stepped right up. He pulled in with the 126, no questions asked, and he did everything that was needed to get people out safe. To get them out alive. Or the one where Eddie’s gone, TK isn’t sure what to do with himself, and Carlos steps up to take care of him.

Summary
When he stopped by, Tommy had sat Josh down on the couch with a cup of coffee with far too much creamer, and pulled out a package wrapped in brown paper. It’s taped together messily, and fits in the palm of Josh’s hand, the paper crunching under his touch; and he could turn around now, he could turn around and nobody would be any the wiser. Or the one where Josh finally finds a way out of the house, Buck’s not too happy about the reason why, and Eddie’s presence will forever be with them all.

Summary
The atmosphere, tonight, is so foreign and yet so comfortable all at once; because as much as they all are trying to ignore the fact of it, this is sort of a last hurrah for the 118 as a crew. Sure, they’ll still see each other loads, and they’ll still run the tradition of horrific Secret Santa gifts every December, and you’d be mad to deny the kids the opportunity of play-dates. Or the one where the 118 might not be the 118, anymore, but they’ll always be family.

Summary
Carlos is worried about TK; they all knew that Buttercup would pass eventually. Apparently when he first arrived at the station, his cancer prominent and diagnosed, TK had refused to show any affection or even use his name; the attachment to something that he knew he would lost felt too great, he insists, which has been his outlook as long as Carlos has known him; it’s part of why their relationship, their marriage, is so special. Because TK had insisted that the loss he would face if Carlos were ever to leave would be worth it, the fear of that would be worth it, for every second they had together. Or the one where Buttercup has passed away, TK’s struggling with it more than he’s admitting, and Carlos is his anchor when he’s drifting.

Summary
It’s never a dull moment, around these three, Tommy thinks; even now, Eddie’s telling some fresh story from work, Josh laughing relentlessly while Evan pulls a somewhat pleased smile, cheeks flushed. Tommy snakes an arm around Evan’s waist, pulling him tight against his side and pressing a tender kiss to his temple; Evan moves into the touch, leaning his head onto Tommy’s shoulder and humming quiet contentment. Or the one where Buck, Tommy, Josh and Eddie have a halloween celebration of their own, and Tommy realises the truth that’s coming to fruition.

Summary
Having a funeral for a man who died before he was even born is very on-brand for Evan Buckley; and Tommy loves the little quirks in his boyfriend’s behavior, the way he so readily got them both organized to visit the new burial site and pay their respects. In a way, Tommy found all of this Billy Boils stuff hit a little too close to home, and he’s just wanting, at this point, to put it all behind them – which is hopefully what this all signifies. Or the one where Buck has everything Tommy’s ever wanted, and he doesn’t even realize it.
