Actually, Truly by MilenaDaniels on AO3
Author Summary: Isabel calls to tell them Eddie's been shot on a Thursday afternoon and by lunch on Friday Helena and Ramon are landing at LAX. When they land, they learn Eddie's already home recovering and has been for two weeks.----Or, Helena (and Ramon) tries to find a way back into Eddie's life and doesn't know what to make of finding Buck around every corner she turns.
Mod M: I have a lot of feelings about this one. I could tell you about this fic from so many different angles, it’s insane. From the craft perspective, there’s things like the refrain of “Mom, listen” and how it becomes so instrumental to character development before we even learn where it’s coming from. Or I could talk about how it messed me up so wonderfully, the catharsis and growth and realism tying together in a beautiful moment that I sobbed after reading it. I could tell you about how I’m always a sucker for Outside POV, or how Mod A doesn’t cry but she cried over this fic, or a million other things. Or I could just tell you to go read it and then come scream about it with me when you’re done?
