Summary
Buck had always known people leave. Ex-girlfriends, friends, broken promises—he’d lost count. But when Eddie announces his plan of going to El Paso, something inside Buck shatters in a different way. He does what it takes, until one day, he can’t take it anymore. With no plan, no fixed destination, just a backpack and an endless road ahead, Buck decides to escape the pain the only way he knows: by running. But the farther he travels, the more he finds himself confronted by memories, the ghosts of what he’s lost, and one unexpected question: is he running toward a new home or simply running from the fear that he never truly had one?
Eddie never hesitated when it came to his son. Christopher was his compass, his greatest reason to keep fighting, and when he gets tired of having his son away, Eddie doesn’t think twice before leaving everything behind—including Buck. El Paso takes him through unfamiliar roads and a journey that isn’t just about repairing his relationship with his son, but about finding himself. In the midst of chaos, worry, and missing his life in Los Angeles, Eddie realizes that maybe his feelings for Buck have always been deeper than he was willing to admit.

Summary
Buck wanted to go home. He wanted nothing more than to be back with his family and to go home. Things had been rough this last year though, first his leg got crushed, he had a pulmonary embolism, he was told he couldn’t come back to work, and then there was a tsunami. Even with now being allowed back at work after making the mistake of filing a lawsuit, things were still a bit strained. His family and home still felt like they were an arm’s length out of reach. Then, things get even worse somehow when he and the rest of the team get sent to see Dr. Wells after a particularly rough call.

Summary
Chris showed up knowing he was meant to be in class. Knowing that’s where everyone assumed he was. But he needed to talk to a counselor and his grandparents weren’t doing anything to get him in anywhere. They just said to talk to them. Yeah, hard pass. He already had to deal with hearing them talk shit about his dad and dead mom, he was not talking to them only for them to say he needed to forget it all and just enjoy where he was. Or pray. Because they believed prayer and religion fixed everything. So he’d gone online and scheduled his own appointment, it was actually pretty easy, and was now in the waiting room. He’d had to watch Buck make appointments enough times that he knew how to do it. Plus Denny, Harry, AND May all said to go for it.
Or.
Chris is tired of his grandparents trying to gaslight him into staying with them. He's also tired of his dad sticking to his word to let Chris decide what happens next. He wants his dad to be his dad. So he goes to therapy, loudly and repeatedly threatens to run away, calls Buck, and somehow manages to get through it all with his family more complete than it ever had been before.
