Hold on - Evan Buckley Fanfic

At Station 118, Aurora Russo and Evan Buckley have been inseparable for years - partners in chaos, confidants in quiet moments, and the kind of best friends who speak fluent sarcasm and shared glances. From the outside, it's all jokes and banter. But inside, something deeper has been growing.

Aurora, who once only has her father Francesco Russo to call family, never imagined she'd find a second home in a firehouse. But with Bobby, Hen, Chimney, Eddie - and Buck - she finally understands what it means to belong. To be seen. To be understood.

And Love? That's not a word she trusts. Not after watching her mother walk out at sixteen. Not after years of building walls to protect herself and her dad. But Buck? He's relentless in the softest way. He shows up. He listens. He stays. And no matter how hard Aurora tries to convince herself it's nothing, her heart keeps proving her wrong.

He's not just trying to win her over. He's trying to show her that maybe - just maybe - love isn't a fairytale. It's real. And it's standing right in front of her.
