    Summary

    The lawsuit is done, Buck is back at work, it'll take time, but everything will return to normal eventually, right? The firehouse crew is hurt, and Buck is struggling. He starts to spiral, going back to his old habits, with no one there to see or catch him. How long can he last on the downward trajectory? Or will someone notice before it's too late?

    i.e Buck struggles with his mental health and relationships following a lawsuit against his fire department.

    I'm bad at summaries. Just your typical post-lawsuit fic.
