life sure can try to put love through it

Listen - the panic attack Buck had, it was fully justified. As far as he knew, it was 2021 - and Eddie was standing next to him, telling him that he’d forgotten the last three years of his life. He felt he deserved a moment to have a panic attack, thank you very much.

or - after an accident at work, Buck forgets the last three years of his life. Mentally, he's back in 2021 and in the midst of a failing relationship with Taylor - but actually, its 2024 and he's married to his best friend, Eddie. Navigating amnesia is pretty heavy work, as it turns out.

aka, 20.k words of amnesia!fic.

There were a few sounds it was ingrained in you to hate as a firefighter. Eddie had learned that early on during his probationary year - how certain sounds would make the team collectively wince, fearful of what was to come, and none more than the sound of a PASS alarm going off. The sound of a PASS alarm going off was the kind of sound that struck a cold, paralysing fear into any firefighter that heard it. The long, slow, almost rhythmic screech of a pass alarm was a sound you heard in the back of your mind for days and weeks after, the sound only ever meaning one thing -

Firefighter down.

“This is Captain Nash, 118 - calling for a full evacuation of the building. Structural integrity has been compromised - I repeat, structural integrity has been compromised. All teams evacuate now.”

Eddie tried to take as deep a breath as he could, as he listened to Bobby call the evacuation order. If Bobby hadn’t called it when he had, Eddie probably would have called over the radio and demanded Bobby do it. The warehouse fire they’d been called to was one of the worst they’d been to in a long time - how people didn’t realise that not adhering to building regulations meant your property would go up like firewood if a fire was to start, he’d never understand. Building regulations weren’t just a costly paperwork exercise - they were essential, to give first responders time to get in, and get everyone out safely.

They didn’t have time to do that today.

The building creaked, as Eddie started to move toward an exit.

“Buckley, Diaz, report - you’re the only ones left in the building.”

Eddie clicked the button on his radio, voice hoarse as he spoke. “We got separated, Cap,” he explained. “I’ll find him and get out.”

“Do it quickly,” was Bobby’s sharp response.

“I’m to the left of the staff room,” Buck called out over the radio. “I thought I heard something.”

“Stay there,” Eddie replied quickly. “You’re closer to the exit, Buckley.”

“Loud and clear, Diaz,” there was a hint of a grin, in Buck’s reply, a smirk Eddie could imagine on his husband’s face. They’d been married for close to a year now, and they’d kept their own names for work. Everything else - IDs, bank accounts, the deed for their new house - was Buckley-Diaz, the name they shared now, and so they always took the opportunity to tease, at work, to use Buckley and Diaz as they once did, before they made themselves an official, forever-after family.

It was their way of flirting on the job, Eddie supposed.

Chimney’s contribution was long-suffering. “Stop flirting, and get out of there.”

Eddie rolled his eyes, concentrating on putting one foot in front of the other, the fire raging around him. He loved his job - really, he did - but fires like this were hard. He was sweating, underneath his turnout gear, and he was looking forward to getting out, and back to the station, and having a cold shower - never hot. The residual heat of the fire always lingered too long for any of them to truly want a hot shower after a bad fire.

Before Eddie could round the corner to where Buck was waiting, he heard an almighty creak, the ceiling crashing down on top of him before he could even call out. He didn’t get knocked unconscious, at least, groaning under the weight of the debris as he struggled to get to his feet.

“Ceiling has come down, Cap,” Eddie groaned into his radio. “Buck and I are still separated. I’m okay.”

There was a pause, on the radio. “Buckley, report.”

Eddie didn’t pray all that often, anymore - he was prone to having a conversation or two with God, when he was particularly stressed, asking God to help him deal with a hyperactive kid, and an equally hyperactive husband, but he wasn’t as strong a believer as he once was. There and then, though, he prayed - he closed his eyes, and he prayed.

Come on, Buck.

“Buckley, report.”

It couldn’t have been more than a couple of seconds, but the time between Bobby’s calls was agonising, waiting for Buck to pick up his radio and reply. Before Bobby could call a third time, Eddie heard it - the long, slow screech of a PASS alarm.

“No, no, no,” Eddie scrambled to his feet, clicking his radio on again. “I can - I can hear his PASS alarm,” he couldn’t keep the panic out of his voice as he spoke, not caring that there were four stations on scene to witness his meltdown over the radio. It was his husband's PASS alarm he was hearing - Eddie wasn’t going to be calm about it.

“Eddie, breathe,” Hen’s voice was calm, as it crackled over the radio. “Think, for a second. A PASS alarm starts going off after twenty seconds of inactivity. He could just be trapped.”

Eddie didn’t bother replying, crawling across the mess of debris to where he knew Buck had been last. The sound of the alarm was getting louder, as he dragged himself across the mess of crumpled concrete and heat-twisted metal, the alarm getting more intense, louder, as they passed the 30-second mark, the moment the PASS went from being in its pre-alarm, to full blown panic mode, the noise making Eddie’s heart twist in his chest.

“Buck,” he yelled, wishing, hoping that Buck would reply - that his radio was shattered, and that was why he wasn’t replying to Bobby’s requests to check in. “Buck - fuck - come on,” he was getting close, now, the noise of the PASS grating on his ears. “Answer me, Buck - goddamnit. Answer me, you asshole.”

dating newt would include | the maze runner:

written before newt came out <3

the scorch trails

the death cure

- as soon as you came up in the box

- newt would immediately fall for you

- he would literally BEG alby to do the tour

- just so he can talk to you

- as well as introducing you to the glade

- you’re a bit spectical at first

- you think he’s just using you because your the only girl

- but you start to realise he deeply cares about you

- despite only meeting a few hours ago

- over time you two become really close friends

- which causes him to fall even more in love with you

- but he’s too scared to do anything about it

- “bloody ask her out already!”

- “minho, nO!”

- but he can’t help but be jealous whenever a glader flirts with you

- so

- he just allows his eyes to linger on you for longer after you speak

- or laugh

- until one night he’s had too much to drink

- he blames gally for giving him too much

- “y/nnn i have something to tell youuu!”

- “what?”

- “newt loveees youuu! but i don’t think i’m supposed to tell you that! so shhh!”

- “go to sleep.”

- in the morning he’s a blushing mess

- because his drunk self just confessed his feelings towards you

- and your sleeping next to him

- smiling widely at him

- “do you have something to tell me?”

- “erm i-i...think-no, i d-do know t-that i love y-“

- you cut him off by kissing him

- to stop him from rambling

- and because you’ve wanted to do that for a while

- newt can’t help but smile when you pull away

- “can you do that again?”

- you two become the cutest couple in the glade

- even though he doesn’t like pda in public

- sometimes he will hold your hand

- or kiss your cheek

- but

- behind doors

- he’s kissing you whenever he has the chance

- and cuddles

- lots and lots of cuddles

- PET NAMES

- darling

- love

- sweetheart

- literally every name you can think of he calls you

- he’s got you saying ‘bloody’ in everything you say too

- you blame him for it

- but he finds it adorable

- inside jokes!!

- your both on the floor rolling in laughter and everyone is so confused

- stealing each other’s foods

- stealing newt’s hoodies

- “darling, where’s my hoodie?”

- “i don’t know.”

- *runs away with it on*

- due to the fact that your a runner

- he is SUPER protective of you

- he wakes up when you wake up early in the morning

- and walks you to the wall

- he can’t stop kissing and hugging you

- even though minho is there

- gagging

- he doesn’t care

- because he doesn’t want to loose you

- throughout the day he’s a nervous wreck

- “newt...”

- “y/n calls me that.”

- “because it’s your shucking name.”

- but when you return

- he can finally relax

- and cuddle you

- he enjoys listening to you talking about the maze

- he can listen to your soothing voice forever

- when minho says you can stay in the glade

- newt gets you to work with him in the gardens

- by work he means hugging you from behind and kissing you on the forehead all day

- when you go away from the gardens for a second

- either to collect food or something else

- but you don’t tell newt because he’s busy being second in command and all that

- he’s panicking

- “guys! where’s y/n? oh my god, she’s gone-“

- “newt, i’m right behind you.”

- he’s happy again

- you two very very very rarely argue

- but when you do

- it’s big

- and not only does it affect you both

- but it affects the whole glade

- everyone tries to make you both make up

- especially thomas and minho

- “guys please make up.”

- “no.”

- you’re always seperate when you argue

- so minho goes to newt

- and thomas goes to you

- by the end of the day minho and thomas have enough and physically push you too each other

- “do you not love each other?”

- “cause we love each other.”

- “will you make up then?”

- “no.”

- “i give up!”

- thomas walks away with a huff and minho follows

- you and newt just stare at each other

- but you can’t handle how serious newt’s face is

- and he looks gorgeous frowning like that

- so soon you’re crying with laughter

- which makes him pout deeper

- but he finds your laugh the cutest thing

- and he can never stay angry at you

- especially with you laughing like that

- so he joins in your laughing

- thomas and minho are watching from a far with shocked faces

- “did we just spend all day getting them to make up-“

- “yes.”

- “and now they’re laughing-“

- “yes.”

- “so they’re immediately okay now?”

- “...yes.”

- you always look after him when he has nightmares about his dark past

- or about when he was a runner

- he feels bad waking you up at night

- but you don’t mind

- you only want him to be happy

- so you lull him to sleep by threading your fingers through his curls

- and he’s asleep in no time

- some days the stress of living up to everyone’s expectation of being second in command

- gets to him

- so he walks in and flops onto the bed

- as you listen to him complain about the gladers

- “and then minho, out of all shucking people, bloody laughed!”

- “that’s absolutely disgraceful, sweetheart.”

- “it is isn’t it?”

- when he complains his accent gets really thick

- and it makes you swoon

- like come on

- who doesn’t love a british accent once in the while

- especially from tbs ;)

- anyway

- when new greenies come up

- he always makes them understand how you are completely off limits

- “see that girl over there?”

- “oh yeah, she’s fit!”

- newt is like ‘imma end this whole boy’s career’

- “yeah, she is y/n, and she’s my girlfriend so i would suggest you bloody stop drooling over her, before i punch your shucking face into next week-“

- “darling! stOP!”

- when you talk to him about it

- he frowns and says how he doesn’t like it when people say things about you

- you kiss his nose causing his face to scrunch up in an adorable way

- basically

- yours and newts relationship is the cutest and most healthiest thing going

- and you both love each other

- so much
