Summary
Eddie Diaz starts his first shift at the 118. A major earthquake strikes the city a few weeks later, and suddenly not just one but two of Buck's siblings are trying to reconnect with him. Bobby's trying hard to get some alone time with his girlfriend, but it's a little hard with a roommate (who he insists is not actually his son). Chimney keeps meeting a beautiful woman near his apartment. Hen and Karen are just trying to get five minutes of peace for their family.
Or, Part 2 (season 2) of the canon rewrite where Buck ended up in foster care, Daniel lived, and everything is just a little bit different.

Summary
“Do none of you care about the children? It’s a bachelor auction, and you, my friend, are a bachelor. Abracadabra, put your name on the list.”
“I can’t,” Eddie repeats. He can’t. He cannot. “I’m not.”
“You’re not? Since when?” Chimney frowns. “Who?”
It’s not Eddie’s fault that, at that exact moment, Buck walks in. So it’s not his fault that he opens his mouth and says, “Buck.”
Or, Eddie trips and falls into a lightly fraudulent HR-disclosed "consensual romantic relationship" with his best friend. Really, if you think about it, it's a win-win.

Summary
With his family dead and his life ruined, Bobby Nash heads to LA, determined to do two things: work off his debt to the universe, and die.
At thirteen, Evan Buckley already knows he isn't worth anything. Discarded by his parents, he's spent nearly four years bouncing around from foster home to foster home. He doesn't expect to ever have a family: he just wants to survive long enough to get the hell out of LA.
When they cross paths, they manage to throw a wrench in each other's plans. Neither one is prepared for just how big a wrench it's going to be.

Summary
Later—after he has drifted in and out of consciousness over and over, like rising out of a churning sea, first to the park ranger, who cannot stop crying, then in the back of the ambulance, and finally at the hospital, where the nurses speak to him in gentle voices that make him want to rip his own hair out at the roots and he finally stays awake, the pain too intense to allow him to drift back to the bottom of that warm dark water—Buck’s first clear thought will be, But it was all going so well.
***
Buck is attacked on his day off. In the aftermath of everything that's happened - from Maddie's leaving to Eddie's breakdown - he decides the best way to deal with it is to hide it.
It goes about as well as one would expect.
