Fics like Falling Without A Safety Net

Buck thought not being part of the 118 was the worst thing that could happen. Until he sued the department and Bobby for wrongful termination—and lost everything that mattered. One decision, born from desperation and pain, left him severed from the only family he’d ever chosen. He told himself it was the only way to protect himself. He didn’t think it would mean isolation so total it echoed. This is the story of the fallout, the silence that followed, the rot, the unraveling and the night he almost didn't come back. And the painstakingly long road back towards something like healing. A story in seven parts: Fallout. Isolation. Decline. The Edge. Intervention. Aftermath. Recovery. Or: Buck falls apart after the lawsuit, and it nearly kills him. But some fractures don’t stay broken forever. ⚠️ Content Warnings: Major depression, alcohol abuse, suicidal ideation and suicide attempt, emotional isolation, graphic emotional distress, passive self-harm, trauma, estrangement, recovery. Please proceed and read with care.
