my wonderful friend @casismybestfriend took on another typesetting collaboration with me! my bucktommy fic ferris wheel on fire is now available as a physical book. it’s so surreal and exciting to now have two of my own works on my bookshelf!

if you’re interested in ordering a copy, click here. also, please keep in mind that there is absolutely no profit. you are only paying for the material cost of printing and shipping.

What if, instead of the loft, Ali and Buck found him a nice house in Tommy's neighborhood?

Thank you 🥹

1. Tommy comes back from his vacation in Yosemite, the one he was supposed to take with Chuck until Chuck decided they were "not heading somewhere real." He sees that the tenant at the house on the corner is finally moved in. There had been some kind of delay, and he'd been expecting to wander over and greet them--a couple, he's pretty sure, he saw a few coming through to see the house--before he left. The house had stayed empty, but now there's a Jeep in the driveway. He puts his stuff away, shoves everything else in the washing machine, and starts making a welcome baked ziti. When he walks it over later, there's a delay on the door getting answered, and it's because the guy who opens it is on crutches. "Hey, I'm your neighbor down at the purple-ish house," Tommy says, smiling. "You're...Evan, right?" He'd heard the guy's girlfriend call for him after the viewing. "Uh, y-yeah," he replies, smiling. "Nice to meet you, uh--" "Tommy," he says, holding up the tray of food. "I hope you like pasta and cheese." "Love it," Evan says. Tommy offers to bring it in, because he's not about to make him juggle the tray on crutches. The house is pretty sparse, even though it seems to be unpacked, and there's no sign of the girlfriend. Tommy scribbles down reheating instructions on a grocery list pad and sets it on the tray before putting it in the fridge with other covered dishes. "Meal train," Evan explains. "I got hurt at work."

2. It's a few days later when Tommy realizes he never sees the girlfriend, so maybe she didn't move in? But he's outside and checking his mail when he hears a familiar voice shout something. He looks up and sees Howie, of all people. Tommy drops his mail back in the box and crosses the street. Evan's balancing on his crutches, and Howie and a shorter woman are out front. "Who the hell let you in my neighborhood?" Tommy asks, and they both whip around, and Evan looks alarmed for a moment. But then Howie grins and laughs and all but tackles him in a hug, which still sends a little thrill through Tommy even if he'd squashed that crush years ago. "What the fuck, man?" Howie says, laughing. "How do you guys know each other?" Evan asks. "Tommy used to be one of ours, then he left us for the wild blue yonder," Howie explains. "You actually replaced him." And that's how Tommy finds out Evan is a firefighter. Within a couple of minutes, it's how he also connects the dots that Evan is the firefighter who was nearly killed by a bomb in a ladder truck.

3. Tommy sees a revolving door of people he used to work with, and it's surreal. They'd been so removed from his life for the last few years, and then they're suddenly just there. There's a day when Evan can't get to physical therapy because Bobby got called in, so Tommy takes him. And then takes him again. He also goes on quick walks with him, gets on Evan for trying to run too soon. "I just want to get back to work," Evan says, looking like he's about to cry. "You will," Tommy reassures him. "But you can't hurt yourself and set yourself back." And he fucks up for a second and squeezes the back of Evan's neck, but Evan doesn't freeze or flinch, he just nods and sniffs and they get back on their feet from the bench they'd stopped at. When Evan is trying to catch his breath and says his chest feels tight, Tommy asks if his leg is hurting more than it was a couple days before. "It's just sore," Evan argues, but Tommy hauls him into his truck and drives him to the ER. The pulmonary embolism isn't a huge clot, but it's there. Tommy squeezes his hand and calls Maddie, and they bring Evan back to run a catheter through his lung to get a clot busting drug straight into it.

4. Evan is staring up at the ceiling in the hospital and not speaking. He's awake, he can speak, but he's been quiet. Tommy's on his third logic puzzle in the book he'd bought in the gift shop. "You don't have to be here," Evan says finally. "I don't have to be most places," Tommy says, putting a dot in one of the boxes. "It's a matter of choice, and I'm choosing to be here. Unless you don't want me here." There's no response, and Tommy stays until Bobby shows up. Then he goes into the waiting room, and then Bobby drops into the chair next to him an hour later. "How bad was it?" Bobby asks. "Could've been worse," Tommy says. "You saved his life," Bobby points out. "I don't know what I'd do if this killed him." "It didn't, though," Tommy says. "He's going to be fine, he can even get back on the job soon if he wants." Bobby's mouth twists unhappily. "He'll want to. If you won't take him, I'll tell Sal to pick him up." "God, anything but that," Bobby says with a harsh laugh. "Kid's been through enough as it is." Tommy smiles and flips the page to a crossword. "Yeah, well, don't put him through more," he says, and Bobby hums.

While he’s out and about, he sees Tommy and listen—he can appreciate when a guy is hot and he’s secure enough to admit he’s no stranger to checking out a hot guy’s ass—but there’s something about this guy that demands more than a passing appreciation from Buck and he finds his gaze lingering for much longer than he normally would and on a few occasions, the guy catches him looking.

Buck doesn’t do the cartoonish *looking away quickly even though it makes it obvious he was looking* thing, maybe he smiles or nods and then just carries on with whatever he was doing

Tommy, though, is about 87% sure Buck is cruising for sex

Oh man oh man oh man

1. Buck is at a park, because he'd brought Jee here last week and it was a nice place to walk around. He goes back without his niece, strolling around and looking at the trees and dog park area. And then he sees a guy who's running and nearly whips his head around to watch him pass, but when he glances back the guy is looking back at him. And the guy smiles, and he's got a great smile. Buck almost walks into a dog that is very bothered by him encroaching on its personal space, so he apologizes to him--Elmer--and the owner profusely. When he goes to the bathroom, he's washing his hands and the runner comes in, and Buck feels a bolt of heat shoot through him when their eyes meet in the mirror.

2. Disneyland sucks, Buck doesn't like Disneyland. He's kind of glad they never did Disney World when he was a kid, because there's twice as many parks there and two is enough for him. Everything is expensive, there's too many people, and the wait times are crazy for five minutes on a ride. He's texting Bobby and Hen and Eddie and getting zero sympathy in response. Jee is having a good time, but she's also spending time in the lines getting unhappy, and Maddie and Chimney and him are passing her around to distract her. It's when Buck is trying to help her pass the time waiting to get on the Peter Pan ride that he spots a guy on his phone. He's amazed at how big the guy's hands are, even compared to his own. The guy seems to be with a woman, though, and two preteens. But then another guy comes up and kisses the woman and makes a kissy face at the guy, and Buck hears the guy say, "You know you can only do that if you're offering." And the preteens make faces. Then Buck sees him outside Indiana Jones, Jungle Cruise, and finally at Galaxy's Edge looking up at the Millennium Falcon. "It's not as big as I thought it'd be," the guy says as Buck stands next to him and looks up, too. "Bet you never hear that," Buck jokes without thinking about what he's actually saying, and the guy grins slyly and looks at him out of the corner of his eye. They go to the bathroom under the Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree, and Buck wonders if there really are Disneyland cops everywhere in plainclothes, because if so, he's about to get banned for life for getting jerked off in a family bathroom by a guy named Tommy.

3. Buck isn't the type to work out in a mirror, but sometimes that's where the bench is positioned. So he's trying out a new gym that a guy at his favorite natural foods restaurant told him about, and there's a lot of guys there who are, like, really in shape. Buck keeps seeing one, and the guy is big and built and looks like he could bench press Buck. He's half tempted to ask. He almost drops a kettlebell on his foot when he sees the guy doing squats. After he's done and in the locker room, he sees a lot of guys going into various shower stalls together. And talking in corners and going into the sauna. He's pretty sure he got recommended a gay gym, something he hadn't known existed until Josh made a joke about it recently. The guy who'd been doing the squats passes by in a towel, and Buck watches him go before he goes back to packing his shit in his bag. "Too shy, handsome?" the guy asks, and Buck whirls around and looks at the easy smile, the big but soft looking pecs, and-- "You gonna shower?" the guy asks, and Buck shoves his bag back into the locker and grabs his towel.

4. The club is a little mix of everything, and that's kind of cool. Buck's listening to Eddie yell over the music that he wants to go home and watch the game he recorded, but there's a guy at the bar who's distracting him from saying anything back to him that's even close to a good burn. He doesn't actually care if Eddie would rather be at home--as long as he's not lonely--but it's his duty to give Eddie shit. But there's this guy, and he's as broad as two of Buck. He wonders if he pulled it off without steroids, but he had to have, because his neck and head aren't the same shape and he can tuck his arms against his sides and when he shrugs his button up off with his jacket and pulls the shirt back up with a laugh to something the bartender says, Buck just sees perfect skin. When he tells Eddie he's getting another drink, he goes to the bar and ends up next to the guy, who leans over and says, "Wondered when you'd come say hi." And Buck flushes and tries to tell him it's not like that, grinning reflexively, and the guy does a double-take. "That your boyfriend?" the guy asks, nodding toward Eddie. "Uh, no, my best friend," Buck says, licking his lips. "You want to join us?" The guy's eyes sweep over Buck. "Mm, I'll join you." And the way he says it makes Buck bite his lip, and then there's a hand on his waist and he's got his face tucked against Buck's ear. "My truck's parked outside," he says, and Buck's mouth waters in a crazy way. "O-okay," Buck says, licking his lips. "Where are we going?" And the guy laughs and nudges a knee between Buck's. "Wherever you want, gorgeous," he says, and Buck nods eagerly.

Buck stumbled blearily into the kitchen, rubbing at his eyes as he tried to wake up.

“Good morning,” Tommy said from his spot near the stove. “I thought I was going to have to come and wake you up.”

“Mmgh,” Buck said, hoping Tommy could translate.

“Coffee’s ready.”

Buck managed to pour some coffee without spilling, drinking a few gulps gratefully even as the hot liquid burned his tongue.
