Summary
The only sound that came from Buck’s end was a distressed whimper.
“Buck. Talk to me,” Eddie urged. “What’s going on?”
Buck inhaled sharply.
“E-Eddie?” he whispered. The raw panic in his voice made Eddie’s stomach drop.
“I’m here, Buck,” Eddie insisted. “Right here. What’s going on?”
“Can’t–I can’t breathe. Eddie, I can’t–” Buck cut himself off with a choked breath.
Or: Buck has a panic attack in the middle of the night. Eddie helps him through it.

Summary
Every time Buck climbs into the rig and settles into his usual seat beside Eddie, he hopes it’ll get easier.
It doesn’t.
It only gets worse.
The pain in his leg grows with each drive through the streets of the city. His stomach churns so violently, the bile burning his throat, that he keeps the window partially open to draw in fresh air. It doesn’t help. His fingers shake so violently that he can barely put his headset on and spends most of the drive with his fingers tangled in the fabric of his pants.
Fear grabs his chest like a vice the second the doors slam shut behind him.
***
OR Buck struggles with memories of the truck bombing during his first shifts back.

Summary
“Let’s sit.” Robby pulled at Jack’s arm, but he didn’t budge.
“I can’t.” He kept his head against the wall. “If I move, the walls are going to collapse.”
“No, they won’t. I won’t let them, watch.” Robby gripped the spot where Jack’s neck and shoulder meet.

Summary
People died when Buffy failed. Jesse, Principal Flutie, Fritz, Morgan, Kevin. The names came to her mind, too many and too fast for her to process them. And those where the ones she had actually met. What about the ones vampires had killed because she had been too busy ‘having a life’ to catch on patrol, too slow to stake?
There isn’t a single word written in her test. She had already failed, because Ms. Yung is in front of her, taking her paper, which meant that time was over for her. She has failed, and Buffy knows it won’t be the last time.
Failing twice is a privilege, especially when the blood that pays for her mistakes isn’t hers.
“I can take her to the bathroom, Ms. Yung, I already finished my test anyway”
or;
With all the monsters she faces day to day, it seems laughable that the thing that sends her into a panic attack is some stupid test.
