here is my, somewhat anticipated, firefighter!luke au. this got. so long guys. iām so sorry. it became a 5+1 and i lost control. this all started because i wanted to see luke do a pole slide and i didnt even fit it in smh. also check out this amazing art by mamirugbee if you get the chance too!! anyway, much love!!Ā enjoy!!Ā
lil disclaimer: iāve never been to la and iām not a firefighter, i tried to do as much research as i could but firefighter forums arenāt helpful as youād expect for somethings, who knew! so take everything with big dose of suspension of belief please!Ā
trigger warnings! mentions of blood & injuries (nothing graphic),Ā lots of swearing, fire.
RATED T āā thereās no graphic scenes but thereās a lot of kissing and fading to black, so rating might change if anyone needs me to š¬
When he was a kid Luke had had a lot of dream jobs.
There was a week when heād wanted to be a landscape gardener after watching too many renovation shows during a week off school sick. When he was eleven heād seriously considered being a doctor for approximately two days after watching too many reruns of ER with his mom, but it was quickly pointed out to him that he would need to go school for years. And heād given serious consideration into being a professional bungee jumper, which he still maintains is a real career path and heād have been excellent at it.
But then heād discovered music when he was thirteen when his parents had given him a guitar for his birthday, and that had been it.
To stand on a stage and play for an audience and create a connection with the world. And heās pretty sure he could have done it. It would have been the dream he reached.
But then the garage they rented to rehearse caught fire while he was asleep on the ratty old sofa theyād found on the street. And maybe the fire itself wouldnāt have been enough to make him change his dreams, but everything that happened afterwards?
Well, thereās nothing like almost dying to reorder your life, right?
(Itās the story he tells everyone if they ask, itās the one he almost believes too.)
