Evan Buckley's life is full: a successful career in psychology, loving parents, and a carefully controlled schedule. Which is why it's completely unsurprising when his estranged sister, Maddie, crashes back into his life-stubborn, chaotic, and utterly convinced she knows better than everyone else, including him. I'm so happy to finally have this fic finished! The draft's been sitting on my computer since New Year, and after months of staring at it and waiting for inspiration, I finally managed to wrap it up.

After a childhood marked by quiet bruises and louder silences, Buck slowly learned that healing doesn't always come in the form of rescue-it can rise slowly, like dough left to rest. Baking started as an after-school accident and became the one thing that grounded him. Through the quiet rhythm of flour and sugar, of giving without needing a reason, Buck found comfort, purpose, and eventually-community. The kitchen became his safe place, and The Buckery, his bakery, became a space full of warmth, second chances, and cinnamon. Baking didn't just save him. It gave him something to love, and somewhere to stay.

A new captain, Bobby Nash, arrives at the 118 after a mysterious transfer from Minnesota. Quiet and guarded, he slowly earns their trust. When a slip reveals he has an adopted son he's kept hidden, the team scrambles to understand his past, their bond deepens, and a family dinner promises long-needed answers.
