Summary
Evan “Buck” Buckley was not an honest person as much as he would like to be or even was trying to be in his own way. His dishonesty wasn’t malicious in the slightest though. He had his reasons, of course, but his entire identity was built on a shaky Jenga tower of lies. As much as he built it up, one by one the blocks were still removed over the years making the tower less and less stable.
Buck joined the 118 fresh out of the Navy and braced himself for all the questions that were about to come his way which he did not want to answer. Then, like a gift from above, somehow and shockingly, no one had read his resume, and he found he could start all over again, be a new person, someone completely different or maybe who he was supposed to be all along.

Summary
For Buck realizing he's Bisexual in his 30s sucks. Realizing he's bi and hopelessly attracted to his straight single dad best friend? Reeaally sucks.
Buck has some self reflection to do and some hard realizations to face. He's also trying to get better at taking care of himself. He's not great at it.
*This fic will oscillate WILDLY between fluff, angst, smut and back again. Be warned!

Summary
Everyone goes back in time. It’s just a thing that happens every now and then. Usually it’s just a day, or two, or three. Sometimes a week. A small percentage go back months. It just happens. Completely random. No rhyme, no reason, no discernible cost, no obvious benefit. Some people change their decisions, some don’t. But the Manus Dei are a breed apart. They go back years, a decade, more. They serve a patron with purpose and reason, and while the changes in their actions always have great benefits, the personal cost is also great.

Summary
They thought they knew Buck.
The funny one. The reckless one. The golden retriever in turnout gear who ran into fires and fought with his heart on his sleeve.
Then one phone call changed everything.
Five moments when the 118 family uncover pieces of Buck’s past—his scars, his secrets, and the soldier buried beneath the surface—and the one time they watch him step back into that world, fully and without apology.
Call sign: Smoke.
Rank: Lieutenant Commander.
And no matter what the Navy or the battlefield tried to take from him, he’s still the man they love.
He’s not one or the other.
He’s always been both.

aka. A five times the 118 learned a little bit more about Buck's past as a Navy SEAL and the one time they see it in action
