Summary
The thing was, the 118 was full of gossips.
Eddie had been at the station less than a week before Hen and Chim wrangled details about his “hot young thing” from him (“Buck is only 4 years younger than me, he is not a ‘hot young thing’!” Eddie complained.)
And Bobby was open about his worries for his son’s lack of direction and the secrets he appears to be keeping (“I just wish I could help Evan find the thing that gives him purpose,” Bobby lamented.)
It just made it all the more ridiculous (and horrifying) when Eddie realizes he’s been dating his Captain’s son this whole time (“Defiling his baby,” Chimney cackled, because he clearly wanted Eddie murdered.)
--
Or, the AU where miscommunication abounds as Eddie seeks advice about his new relationship, Bobby despairs over his adopted son's career prospects and his refusal to talk about it, and Evan Buckley-Nash juggles training at the fire academy, building a family with his new boyfriend, and trying to work out how to tell his overprotective dad that he's already chosen the life he wants, actually.
It takes a goddamn tsunami, of all things, to get the story straight.Series

Summary
Hen’s interest in their new captain was definitely piqued, and she could see that Chimney’s was too – who had he been to the beach and the market with? And why didn’t he want to share it with his crew?
As she ate the delicious meal and looked around at the chattering crew, the atmosphere the lightest it had been since it was announced that Gerrard was on his way out, Hen also found herself hoping that Nash would be sticking around if this was simply a precursor of things to come.
Although hopefully they’d manage to get some more information out of the stoic man at some point.
—
Or, over a decade before Eddie spends months dating the captain’s son without realising it, the 118 gets a new Captain.
Hen, Chim and the rest of the crew struggle with getting to properly know the stern and stoic Captain Nash – and then they get called to a scene where one Evan Buckley-Nash is stuck up a tree.

Summary
It took nine months and a tsunami for the 118 family to realise that Eddie's boyfriend and Bobby's adopted son were the same person. There were so many other ways that the secret could have been revealed.
Like, say, Eddie offering to organise a breakfast between his captain and his boyfriend before Buck and Christopher's day out so that Bobby could reassure Buck that he was more than willing to "go up against a grumpy member of the brass who thinks that they know better than their own kid."

Summary
It took nine months and a tsunami for the 118 family to realise that Eddie's boyfriend and Bobby's adopted son were the same person. There were so many other ways that the secret could have been revealed.
Like, say, if Bobby had arrived at Evan's apartment half an hour earlier while Buck was still, uh, preoccupied with Eddie which means it isn't his son who opens the door...

Summary
Evan Buckley-Nash has spent a lot of time at firehouses throughout his life, but getting to join the 118 as their brand new probationary firefighter is a whole new experience – and not just for him.
—
Or, Buck starts his firefighting career at Station 118.
Bobby is definitely Handling It Well, Hen and Chimney are having great fun taking advantage of the Evan/Buck confusion, Eddie is suddenly getting an awful lot of attention from the rest of the crew when they realise he’s been dating the station’s favourite kid, and Buck is torn between revelling in finally doing the job he’s been dreaming about and trying to get the whole 'station’s kid' thing dropped, please and thank you.

Summary
The thing was, it all made perfect sense… Christopher was vulnerable to the virus, Athena was recovering and off work – of course she would be willing to take in her almost-grandbaby, but Bobby still needs to work and he doesn’t want to risk bringing the virus home to them…
Even though it all made perfect sense, Eddie still wasn’t completely sure how it all ended with his Captain/boyfriend’s dad moving into his house.
–
Or, in a universe where Buck is Bobby’s adopted son and Eddie and Buck already live together, the experience of lockdown goes a little differently… Bobby is actually kind of content having his kid under the same roof again, Buck oscillates between gratitude for his dad’s calming presence and frustration at his protectiveness, and Eddie’s just trying to juggle his own parents and this merging blended family he’s found himself a part of.
And they still haven’t quite learned their lesson about the importance of communication, either.

Summary
Evan Buckley-Nash has been many things over his life. But in the beginning, he was born to be Daniel Buckley’s saviour. He's never really reckoned with that fact – until he has to deal with his birth parents for the first time in almost two decades.
–
Or, Miscommunication abounds again when the Buckleys come to town as Maddie juggles the demands of both her blood and found family, Buck spirals as he is forced to confront his long-buried trauma regarding his brother’s death (while trying to keep the whole trauma thing a secret) and also insists the visit has to be kept a secret from his (adopted) dad, Hen, Chim and Eddie are trying desperately to be supportive while also attempting to understand the truth of the Buckley siblings’ past, Bobby is hopelessly confused about what in the world is happening with his son and his crew, and of course let’s not forget that Eddie still has that little black box hidden in the back of his sock drawer just waiting for the perfect moment…
In other words, things are definitely on course to blow up like a former-perfume factory on fire.
Oh, and there are flashbacks
(Or, to put it simply: it’s Evan Buckley-Nash Begins.)
