*in the style of Rose’s Army of Ghosts/Doomsday voiceover*
“For the first nineteen years of my life, I went from one moment to the next, and it was all predictable and mundane. Then I met a woman called the called the Doctor. She whisked me away in her little blue box and showed me the universe. She showed me a life of wonder and heart racing adventure. I never wanted it to end.
Though like all beautiful things do, it had to.
I am Yasmin Khan. Yaz, to my friends, to her. I am the woman who fell for the woman who fell to Earth. This is the story of how I saved her life, but in doing so, I had to let her go.”

It’s a ways in the future and Steve and Eddie are a little more settled in their relationship, living in Chicago or something, but Eddie feels adrift in himself. Steve is still working at a Family Video but he coaches little league and does some other volunteer stuff and seems to find it really fulfilling. But Eddie doesn’t really have that. He loves Steve and he loves his life but he’s missing something.
He’s on the way home from work one night and he sees that the local music store is going out of business and he’s devastated but it sparks something. Wouldn’t it be cool if he could take it over?
When he talks to Steve about it, Steve thinks it's a great idea and asks what kind of music Eddie's going to sell. And Eddie's like "Thrash, doom, grindcore, industrial, death metal... All kinds of music really."
Steve pauses for a moment and then he says, "Isn't that all just heavy metal?"
And Eddie grins and says, "Yeah, like I said, all kinds of music!"
(The store ends up doing pretty well—he does end up stocking more than various kinds of metal but it's still the focus—and there’s even a little space for bands to play. It makes Eddie feel like he did with Hellfire, gathering lost sheep, supporting young bands and creating this space where kids like he used to be can come and find music and each other.)

For headcanons: Skids
Headcanon A: realistic
Skids was the best prankster of the outliers. Think “elaborate senior pranks that result in only a fraction of the damage.”
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
Once Skids remembers who Prowl is, everyone finds out he can do the best Prowl impression out of all of them. Voice, facial expressions, mannerisms—the whole deal.
Rewind nearly has a spark attack the first time he’s at Swerve’s and hears “Prowl” and Chromedome walk in behind him.
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
After Shockwave was hauled off, Skids took part in the efforts to find him. He worked with Orion Pax, Chromedome, and even Prowl, once they convinced him of the depth of the Senate’s corruption.
They were an odd team that didn’t get along half the time, but they all had strong enough personal reasons to track down the Senator. Orion and Skids wanted Shockwave back, and Chromedome and Prowl wanted the truth about the Senate, which Shockwave would be able to provide.
They managed to find where Shockwave was being held, and Skids and a couple of other outliers were sent in to see if they could establish contact with him.
It was then that Ceiling Skids was born. Shockwave was delighted to hear his favorite student through the ceiling panels of his cell.
During their little reunion, Skids let Shockwave know that he, Orion, and a few others were working on a plan to get him out.
Knowing this would likely never work, Shockwave discouraged Skids from trying. He didn’t want Skids to put himself or any of the others (especially Orion) in danger for his sake when he knew his time was short. He assured Skids that he was just happy to know they were all okay.
Determined as ever to do something, Skids refused to listen. He kept coming back each night, relaying messages back and forth between Shockwave and both Orion and Prowl, with the latter demanding to know everything Shockwave knew about the corruption in the Senate.
This continued until, one night, Skids crawled to his usual place above Shockwave’s cell and was met with silence.
Hoping Shockwave was just asleep, Skids tried a few more times to get a response. Soon, reality sunk in:
Shockwave was gone.
Distraught, Skids returned to the others and broke the news. It was one of the hardest nights of his life.
What little hope he had left drove him to wait with Orion at the Ark-1 monument every day for the first few months, but he eventually gave up. War was coming, and Skids had work to do.
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
As soon as Skids makes it to the Afterspark, he tracks down Quark and pleads for forgiveness. Quark already forgave him ages ago, and they become close friends.
The day Brainstorm’s spark finally gives out, Skids and Quark are there to greet him as he enters. There are more apologies, more tears, and SO much nerding out about the wonders of the Afterspark. 😂
Eventually, Nautica’s time runs out.
Skids is there to meet her, but she hardly recognizes him. She knows who he is, but treats him like a stranger.
Before this, Brainstorm explained to Skids what Nautica did, and although Skids thought he was prepared to see the effects for himself, he was sorely mistaken.
He’s devastated.
However, he’s determined to get to know Nautica again and rekindle what they once had.

something fucking wild is I still remember being in elementary school reading the Percy Jackson books and looking up to the main characters as “big kids” who, to me, were practically grown-ups
and now I’m older and I’m looking at Walker, Aryan, and Leah and I’m amazed at how young these kids look to me
and I’m honestly really emotional about that

Honestly if they made a second season of Buddy Daddies, I wouldn’t even need it to have a real plot. Like them just being a family is the plot. Just straight up like a wholesome 90s family sitcom, where any conflict that happens isn’t somehow life altering and is easily resolved by the end of each episode. And each episode could take place every few years, so we get to see Miri grow up and see the challenges the guys face having absolutely no clue how to raise a young girl into her teens.
No life or death situations. No dramatic cliffhangers. Just a silly little family doing silly little family things.
And it could end with Miri moving out on her own as a young adult, and she would tell her papas how much she loved them and how she knew all along how much they fought to protect her when she was little and how she was happy to have them as her family. (And Kazuki would say, “Don’t cry, dude” like in the field day episode, but this time Rei really would break down in tears, which triggers Kazuki to also break down, and it’s just a big ol’ wholesome sob fest 🥹)
