I don’t include it in enough of my fics but the angst potential in Fox’s scars is so high. Like I have scars that ache like an open wound years after I got them, and I didn’t get mine from an evil sith.
Just imagining Fox wakes up and every scar feels like a bruise. It hurts where his armor digs into them and even we’ll meaning gestures like a hug from his vode causes a spike of pain. If he has any on his joints they feel stiff and the skin stretches weirdly over it as he moves.
Even better if there’s some darkness lingering in the scar and he gets flashes of the memory associated with getting them. Like he steps weirdly and puts pressure on a healed knife scar and suddenly he flashes back to crying on the ground as the Chancellor surgically sliced open his feet “so you’ll remember your failure every time you take a step” and normally he doesn’t, it’s been long enough and he’s been through worse that the memory faded but now, now the pain is like new and it leaves him gasping for air in the middle of the senate hallway.
This post brought to you by: it’s storming today and now all of my scars are aching.

"buck doesn’t think that if he were to say, “i’m in a bad place”, that anyone would turn him away. really, he doesn’t. the 118 has too many good, kind people for that. but every time he wants to open his mouth, to say something, to reach out to eddie or bobby or hen or chim, he hears eddie yelling, “you’re exhausting.”
—you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting—
so each day he does his job and he laughs and he jokes and he pretends he’s the care-free goofball he’s always been. And each day he packs away his bruises and his worries, takes them home to his empty loft with its quiet rooms, and licks his wounds in silence."

buck’s voice was soft and hesitant, but full of patience when he finally spoke again. “did I do something to upset you, chris? i can leave—” "no!” chris whirled on him, a complete shift from the standoffish vibe he had been giving a second ago. the tears he bravely held back finally broke free from his eyes, sliding down his rosy cheeks from behind his glasses. he shook his head vehemently, the yellow crayon falling to the table. “no, I’m not mad. please…” his words turned to whimpers, his lip trembling. “please don’t leave me too.”

"eddie licked his dry lips as he reached for his radio, trying to keep his movements slow and delicate to prevent any more damage to himself or buck. “diaz to captain nash.” “go for nash,” came bobby’s quick reply. “you two okay? where are you?” “we’re in a bit of a sticky situation here…” “we’re a shish kabob, cap!” buck chimed in. eddie rolled his eyes"

"for the first time, buck longs for a bullet wound to treat. dirt to dig at. a door to break through. something. there’s nothing. “your guess was correct, diaz,” the bomb technician tells them, as he gestures to the orange circle. “you’re standing on a large sensor plate, wired to a detonator. It’s incredibly important that you don’t move. don’t shift. when you put your weight down, it was like cocking a gun - you take your weight off, this thing is powerful enough to take the entire house with it."

"eddie understands better than maybe anyone else ever could, how it feels to have everything unravel in the palm of your hands. he knows frustration - he knows fury. he’s painfully familiar with that burning rage that crackles in the tips of your fingers, that makes your skin hot and chest tight, and makes you want to punch anyone that dares to even look at you. but that doesn’t give chim the right to lay a damn hand on buck"
