National Tea Day 🫖

06x09//Come As You Are - weekly recap

this should be a short one, because well, what the hell was that episode?!

- Maya trying and failing to meditate was pretty relatable

- Andy and Vic dancing and singing. Maybe the writers are gonna remember that these two used to be friends a few seasons ago, you know? Just in case they forgot, which they would never, right? RIGHT?

- The only storyline that wasn’t utter crap in this episode was the one with Theo (and Vic). The writing did have its weak points, even in those scenes, but overall this storyline might turn into a pretty solid one and Theo can do no wrong, if you ask me

- Do we need to talk about Carina and that pregnant lady? I mean, do we? I’m not even upset about what happened, I am just upset at the horrible writing and how cringe it was that Carina shared all these things about her marriage and fertility journey with a stranger (yes, this is the Grey’s universe, but still), who extremely awkwardly flirted with her out of the blue. Also, how is Jack suddenly the one who’s so concerned about people cheating? Make it make sense.

- The one good part about that fight between the two guys was the fact that British Dude got sucker punched. That’s it, that’s the highlight of that scene.

- I refuse to give Beckett more than one sentence at this point (yes, even if his uncle is sick)

- Vic and Theo talking. I love that. I love how they communicate, even when they argued before. I love how they resolve. I love Vic’s little smile when Theo “accuses” her of being like Diane. And I loved that she mentioned code switching instead of accusing Theo of being fake. We need this.

- Andy agreeing on a date with The British Dude *screams into pillow*. Guess we don’t need strong, independent women. Guess we need *looks at smudged writing on hand* Andy with yet another questionable guy, that’s right. We need that. Just ask the writers.

- Carina isn’t ready to come back. Maya isn’t ready for Carina to come back. They both have work to do and I hope we see Carina getting psychological help too.

What’s next?

- I love the whacky idea that the pregnant lady was introduced so the writers can kill her off and have Carina and Maya adopt the baby. Not because I am a fan of the idea, but because at this point we have fully descended into chaos and I would absolutely believe that the writers would do this

- Real talk, we need some sort of fucking sign for how many days this team has been trusting The British Dude without ever questioning what he is up to. We all know he is up to something, it’s just a matter of if he’s after Travis or Andy and it’s not going to end well. Seriously, stop trusting this dude, guys.

buck/eddie | teen and up | 2.9k words | spoilers for 06x09: red flag

i finished writing this just before the episode so...

"Buck! Buck, baby! Stay with me, okay?"

Eddie.

Eddie's voice washes over him like a warmth blanket, comforting and grounding even amongst all the pain and fogginess.

"Buck! Buck!" The screams calling his name pierce through Buck’s skull like a freight train. The pain pulses behind his eye and echoes down his spine until it falls into the churning waters of Buck’s stomach. Nausea rolls through him and he groans, closing his eyes.

or:

The woman sleep driving her car into the station goes a little faster and hits Buck... Eddie doesn't handle it well.

FIC UPDATE: Things We're All Too Young to Know

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE!!!! I am wrapping up the year (presumably) with another chapter of Things We're All Too Young to Know - lightning strike edition.

Summary:

Buck's family visits during an unusual series of thunderstorms in Los Angeles. Scenes and missing scenes from 06x08: 9-1-1, What’s Your Fantasy?, 06x09: Red Flag, 06x10: In a Flash

Snippet:

“So,” Maddie says, one evening at said family dinner. “Mom and Dad are coming to visit in March, to see the new house. And meet Jee-Yun properly.”

So, almost a year after Maddie got back, and two years after Jee was born. They’re coming. To see the house they put a down payment on. Cool. Got it. 

Buck pointedly makes a little hmmph noise, and turns his attention back to his niece. 

“Oh, did I forget to tell you?” Buck says in a false, sing-songy voice. “Jee and I had plans to be anywhere else in March. We discussed it during my last visit.”

“Stealing my kid, Buck?” Chim asks, raising an eyebrow.

“Yep,” Buck nods. “We’re going to spring break in Cabo.”

“I’m okay with it,” Chim says, taking a bite of peas.

IMAGINARY GIRLFRIENDS

Thranduil x Reader x teen! Legolas

Summary: Thranduil and You worry that Legolas’ girlfriend is imaginary.

A/N: Inspired by 06x09 of “Modern family”.

Warnings: domestic; modern Au; Not read proof;(although don’t trust my -20/20 vision) quite long; mentions of dumb babies.

Loth - flower; melu - honey; Ellon - “elf-man”; Meleth - love;

“Y/n! guess what we got in the mail box again” at first it was fun getting a single gardenia delivered to your house Every week but the gesture had aged over the five weeks it had been occurring. “It’s getting creepy” thranduil concludes. “Oh! relax it’s probably just from someone who knows about your plant obsession!” “Or maybe it’s not a someone who’s obsessed with me” “finally- thank you” your son chimed. “Maybe it’s someone who is trying to seduce my wife!” “Oh! So it can only be for the two of you” “of course not! your naneth isn’t the only hottie living here, i was watering the plants in my cheer shorts the other day, I definitely felt eyes on me.” Not entertained by the idea of his father in his old cheer shorts Legolas lashed out - “has it ever occurred to you that those flowers could be for me?” “What do you mean?” “I mean, like from my, girlfriend.”

After that news dump you and your husband asked a LOT of questions in unison, like… “what?” “you have a girlfriend?” That’s exactly what poor Legolas was trying to avoid this whole time. So he abandoned his post at the kitchen counter taking his textbook with him in the living room. You and thranduil intrigued as ever were quick to follow the Ellon. “You can’t just drop that and leave?!” You argued. Trying to make your son hiding his relationship with someone positive thranduil insisted “honey, this is so exciting” “why didn’t you tell us” “because i knew THIS would be your reaction” Your insistently asking question after question made Legolas give up at hiding her from you any longer. “Okay! I’ll show you a picture…wait my phone’s not working, oh here she is.” Confused more than earlier thranduil looked closer at the supermarket flyer his son was holding pointing at the girl next to an isle of some sort of house cleaning products, Curiously he asked “that’s her pondering the cleaning items?” You clearly didn’t follow how coincidentally your son’s girlfriend could show up on a supermarket flyer. “ i don’t understand. Why is she in this?” “She’s a model,nana!” “wait,wait. YOUR girlfriend’s a model?” Thranduil padded Legolas shoulder which, clearly, didn’t go unnoticed, the gesture made it look like He was more excited about this ordeal than you. “Well how did you meet her?” Thinking Legolas would get your confusion you add “i mean, there’s not much crossover for a archery honor student and a supermarket model” “well,nana it’s actually a really long story.i…” just before he was to start what you and your husband were oh so curious to hear his Phone rang “oh, well- it’s her!” After Legolas’ abrupt leave your husband turned to you with a tickled expression clearly buying into this “model girlfriend” thing. “Meleth! This is terrific news. I can’t believe he didn’t tell us about her.” “ oh! That’s what you can’t believe?!” “What do you mean?” “Thran, it’s just a bit weird. I mean, he suddenly has this girlfriend. He wants to shows us a picture on his phone, but he can’t and magically she’s in today’s paper?! I don’t want to say it but he’s making this up” not wanting to accept your hypothesis thranduil pressed “ why would he do that?” “ Maybe he’s upset that neither of us thought those roses-“ “GARDENIAS!” Rolling your eyes at the correction you still repeated it to his satisfaction“-Gardenias could be for him.” “This is sad! Legolas has great news and you don’t believe him?!” “I want to!” “Well, i do believe him. I’m gonna tell him to invite his girlfriend, and i’ll be serving a big platter of "i told you so"” “oh great. You do that, while i add this 5th "rose" to our vastly growing collection” “for the love of valar It’s a gardenia!”

Later that day legolas answered the door to his girlfriend you didn’t believe existed. “Y/n!” “I have bad news leggy. My dad is transferring to dumb shire to operate on some dumb babies.” “ so fixing their hearts is worth breaking mine?” “It’s kind of worth it. He can do like six operations a day…” “yeah. I-I- understand. I’m sorry for lashing out. I- just really liked you” “i still like You!” With now watering eyes that made it hard for the Ellon to see, he hugged his girlfriend goodbye. “Uh, i was hoping you could throw this away for me” without a second thought Legolas accepted his now former girlfriend’s also former coffee cup with her name on it. “Yeah.sure” if this day couldn’t get any worse for the elf he heard his parents come down the stairs before he could say anything y/n spoke. “ So, honey we’ve been talking and we want to meet your girlfriend.” “You just missed her”. “She was here!” Thranduil couldn’t get enough of this, the mere possibility that his wife could be wrong made him excited like Legolas when he first fired his bow at one of his favorite group of flowers in the garden, peculiar memory to the both of them in many different ways. “She just left. This is her cup.” Thranduil’s daydreaming was cut short when he noticed the cup was from your favorite coffee shop and had your name written on it, he realized you noticed it but wanted him to voice the fact. “Oh, look at that…honey!” “Oh it looks like y/n’s written on the cup” “ yeah. her name’s y/n it was weird at first but i kept calling her my loth” you felt bad for neglecting Legolas to the point were he felt necessary to make up a girlfriend so “yeah, um, well why don’t you text your loth and invite her back for dinner?” “Can’t. She broke up with me” “oh no!” “She’s moving to Northwest, in the Eriador region” not knowing what to say thranduil quipped “because they need grocery models in The hobbiton” Legolas suddenly was reminded of what he lost, so he ran to hug his naneth, thranduil felt bad “melu! I’m so sorry” choking on his tears Legolas confessed “ i miss her.” “Oh, don’t worry! It soon will be like she never existed” you insisted.

After what happened downstairs you felt worse than before so you payed Legolas another group visit in his room “Hey, melu, you alone?” “Do you see anyone else in here?” Concerned tharnduil asked if he did. “Sweetheart, your ada and i think we owe you an apology.” “For what?” “Well, this morning when we didn't think the rose could be for you, it seemed like maybe it hurt your feelings. “ “ i guess?. A little” “i am so sorry to make you feel bad.” Added thranduil who thought himself naive for not thinking Legolas would lie like this, especially to the two of you. “- And it’s completely believable that you would have an admirer.” Legolas on the other hand thought his parents were taking the flower thing more seriously than they should’ve, but what concerned him more was his parents ignorance towards his capability to have an admirer or two. “Okay” he agreed quickly thinking it would get the two of you out of his hair. “ what we’re worried about is that we have created an environment in which you find it necessary to…” thranduil trying to make this easier for all of you was searching out loud for synonyms to describe this "environment" they spend decades creating “embelli- - ; fanta- - Exagger- -“ “OH MY-! YOU GUYS DONT THINK Y/N’S REAL!” “Sweetheart, i remember the pressure i was in to fit in in high school” (who doesn’t?!) “so do i. And wether you try to fit in by saying you fought a baby bear or by making up a girlfriend…” “ you guys are unbelievable. You really think i am that pathetic that i’d have to create some imaginary girlfriend?!”

“You know what's not imaginary? Your feelings.” While thranduil made another poor joke of the situation you tried snooping on his computer, and were caught be the Ellon fairly quickly “Okay, don't! don't! F.Y.I., I changed my Facebook status to "single" about an hour ago, and guess what. I already have a date. You don't believe me, do you?” “Sweetheart, you've had two girlfriends in 30 seconds. That’s practically my record at your age.” “wait,what?!” “Well, she’s real. Her name is Teddy.” “Her name is... Teddy?” You glanced at thranduil trying to get his attention to the teddy on the bed, you couldn’t believe he was doing it again! “Yeah. Teddy Keyes.” Thranduil was in disbelief after he held up the keyes on the dresser legolas walked by right before “making up” teddy’s last name. Testing how far his son would go Thranduil teased “And what do we know about this young lady?” “She’s new to our school. She works at some mattress store --“ Legolas’ innocent pause made his parents think He was making it up as he went…”Mattress King.” Thranduil looked at the poster of Martin luther King jr. Sorrily. “-And she’s a bit of a bad girl. she had a little problem with shoplifting. She spent some time in juvie. But, you know, she's not really my type. She’s just a rebound. So I guess it doesn't really matter. Why am I even talking to you guys? Leave! Get out!”

“Did you see the look in his eyes? Like he believed everything he was saying.” “That's terrifying. Like this guy I knew in college. He was always telling me about these "crazy parties" that were "full of Elleths." But when I'd ask him where they were, he'd give me a fake address.” “Makes me wonder what else he’s making up. I have never met that girl he tutors in math. Esther Choi?” “Me neither.” “Because she doesn't exist! There is not an Esther Choi on earth who needs math tutoring.” “He needs help, y/n.” “What do we do? I mean, should we send him back to that therapist?” “The one we've never met?” A knock on the door made the two of you stop your dialogue but before you ever got the chance to go answer the door Legolas jumped in “No! Wait! Don't open it! Move away! It's for me! Move!” Now he was desperate, desperately trying to prove his parents wrong “Damn. You look hot.” Thranduil couldn’t believe his eyes - “The roses are from you, Teddy?” “They’re actually gardenias…but yeah, I met a guy in juvie who works at the cemetery. They got flowers all over the place.” Legolas went out the front door with teddy meanwhile his parents were too busy celebrating that - “Yes! Our little Ellon isn't crazy!” “Teddy’s real!” “Yeah! Did you notice how she corrected The flower’s actual name you and your son love to ignore?!” “Get over it…cheer shorts.”
