Summary
When Buck returns after the lawsuit is resolved and endures months of an unexpected form of abuse at the hands of his crew, he starts to wonder if the things they say are actually true. Unable and unwilling to bring his sister greater trouble, he reaches out to the only other family he has left, his Uncle Owen and cousin TK, in the hope that they can help him put his broken pieces back together. And when it turns out that TK needs just as much help as Buck, Owen comes up with a plan that just might help him carry both his boys to a safer place.ALL CHAPTERS UPDATED: 6/18/2021 - NEW CHAPTER COMING 6/19/2021
Note
CHAPTER UPDATED: 6/18/2021Greetings, readers! For those of you who have stuck around waiting for an update to this fic, I do not have enough words of apology for how long it's taken me. When it comes to writing, sometimes my inspiration comes in floods and then disappears like a drought. Bad metaphors aside, please know that I am not the kind of author who likes to leave a story unfinished. It just might take me a minute to finish it completely. In other news, a new chapter to I Will Carry You is coming! HOWEVER, in the process of writing a new chapter, I decided to go back and add some new details into the existing story. So, with that in mind, I recommend you reread the story before the new chapter goes up, because there will be a few new tidbits, moments, conversations, and more thrown in that my affect the newest chapter. Thank you again to all my loyal readers, commenters, and those of you who've waited on my slow self to get my act together and get you some new material. Without further babbling from me, here is the new and improved, I Will Carry You!___________________________________________________________I can't seem to escape the idea of the 118 team being a little more heartless towards Buck than we saw, but I wanted to explore a different form of mental torture. And then I thought, what would happen if, after spending all this time being tormented, Buck reached out to his favorite (and only) Uncle Owen for help, only to find out things are desperate on both sides of the continent. And thus, this fic was born! Because I'm a sucker for angsty Buck and TK, and also firmly believe Owen Strand is one of the best dads on TV, this is probably going to be an emotional whump-fest for a while. I also haven't decided what pairing will be Buck's end game just yet, and while I can promise a happy ending, I can't promise who will be a part of it. I haven't seen it just yet. For now, please enjoy the first of what I hope to be many chapters of "I Will Carry You"!___________________________________________________________Not beta'd by anyone but me. Mistakes may happen, and I welcome constructive criticism, kudos, or gratuitous amounts of punctuation in the comments. Thank you for reading, and remember to follow the tags and be kind to yourselves ♡____________________________________________________________
