Sentence Sunday 🪩
Tumblr media
Tagged by @daffi-990 @tizniz @theotherbuckley @diazsdimples @disasterbuckdiaz @monsterrae1 @indestructibleheart for some combination of Inspiration Saturday/Seven Sentence Sunday (tagging you back for SSS if you haven't already) Be sure to check out their moodboards and snippets. I am excited for all of your works! 😘
I wanted to put together a moodboard for the mirrorball fic, but it's not quite there yet. So, sans moodboard, have this bit of Buck talking with Ali and Chim. Prev snippet here.
“Looks like Romeo’s back,” Ali sing songs in Buck’s ear as she passes his station on the way to her own.   “Oh, yeah?” He aims for nonchalant but knows he’s failed miserably by the smirk on her face.  Ali sits in front of her mirror, picks up a wide-tooth comb, and runs it through her short, espresso strands. The color is a recent switch from her previous summery blond and he’ll admit it suits her. “God, Buck, I swear if you had a tail it would be wagging so hard right now.” To be fair, he’s been more than a little mopey for the last two weeks since his stranger high-tailed it out of the club and didn’t come back. It left Buck in a strange mood. He’s been out of sorts, like a teetering Jenga tower. One seemingly insignificant piece displaced and he’s scrambling for balance again.  “Just to make sure,” Buck tries again to sound unaffected, though he’s not sure why. He already feels the eager, needy tone clinging to his words. “You’re not, uh, fucking with me… right? He’s really there?” She angles her body towards him, all traces of teasing replaced by an almost sisterly affection. “I know how much this has been eating you up. I promise he’s there, Buck.” 
...
Buck sticks to the hallways, circumventing the main club as he makes his way to the booth. Chim’s eyes widen as he takes in Buck swiftly approaching. “Buck,” he hisses. “What the hell are you doing here? You’re on in less than ten.” “I need to switch my music for tonight.” Buck ignores the face journey he knows Chim is currently going through. He’s seen it plenty of times, mostly because of his – as Chim calls it – ‘boneheaded piss poor planning’. It's not exactly wrong. “I swear to god, Buckley. One of these days-” “I’m gonna give you a heart attack,” Buck finishes for him. “You’re gonna do it though.” It’s not a question. Chim has never once failed him, no matter how much he obviously wanted to.  Chim scrubs a hand down his face, breathing out a world weary sigh. “Tell me what to queue up before I change my mind.”

I'm sorry, am I just supposed to believe that without Buck (and him introducing Carla), Eddie would've gave Christopher up? To his PARENTS?? In no universe would that happen, regardless of Buck being present or not.
Did I imagine the part where they said he lost a nasty custody battle? Did I imagine the piece of Eddie Begins where his parents were basically saying flat out that they didn’t think he was capable? Did I imagine Stuck and how much Eddie was struggling and even the family members who were on his side acknowledging that there was only so much they could do? Did I imagine the Eddie in early S2 who didn’t even want to admit he had a son let alone to ask for help?
There’s no universe in which Eddie wouldn’t have fought as hard as possible for Christopher, I agree with that. I also know very intimately that family court and custody issues can be extremely complicated and fucked up and that sometimes it doesn’t matter how much you’re trying and how hard you fought, you can still lose because it’s not about you in a custody fight, it’s about what other people think of you and your capabilities and how that translates to what they think is in the “best interests” of a child and that is a very harsh reality that we’re living in. I don’t think it’s unrealistic and I also don’t think it’s a negative reflection on Eddie, it’s just…how the system often works.

WIP wednesday
thanks for the tag, my loves @adventuresofprettyboyandthekid @imsupposedtobewritting
"You know, these flowers are called Alstroemerias." Buck says after a few seconds of uncomfortable silence.
Eddie doesn't know why he's being so weird. Well, he does know. He's deeply in love with his best friend and now they're on a romantic date and Eddie doesn't know what it means or if it means anything at all to Buck.
"Oh?" He manages to say.
"Yeah, they symbolize mutual support and devotion between two people." Buck smiles bashfully. "Giving the flowers means that you are willing to stand by their side and be faced with all the trials of everyday life."
Of course that's the meaning of the fucking flowers. As if the universe hasn't already screamed enough at Eddie.
Not that he believes in that kind of thing anyway.
"Well, that's fitting for us, I guess."
Their food and wine accompaniments come quickly.
Buck stares at his food, and it looks like a drumstick he’d typically pick up with his hands, but this place has cloth napkins and soft lighting so he’s quite certain that behavior won’t fly here. He winces and then shrugs, picking the food with his hand anyway and takes a big bite from it.
Eddie can't help but to smile fondly at his best friend. Most people would find it gross, the way Buck eats like the world is about to end, but in all honesty… Eddie finds it endearing.
Well, truth be told, Eddie finds almost everything Buck does endearing.
And then Buck is moaning, honest to God moaning.
Eddie thinks he might die right there on the spot.
"Eddie, you need to try this!" Buck says a little too loudly. “Here." He uses the fork he didn't bother to use before to hook a piece of his food and holds it out to Eddie.
Did Eddie mention he might actually die? He's definitely dying now. His heart can't take this.
Eddie hesitates for a second, and maybe it's the atmosphere of the restaurant or maybe he's just tired of holding back, but he says 'screw it' and leans forward, wrapping his lips around the offering and pulling back.
"Yeah, that's actually pretty good." His eyes go wide and he nods emphatically as he chews.
Buck beams at him. And at that moment, Eddie can't keep lying to himself. There's no getting over Evan Buckley, there's no way he can move on from Buck.

sharing leftovers is a love language
GA, 1.5k, Pre-Eddie/Buck, Post 6x01, ao3 link
Eddie didn't think anything of it when he packed Buck's leftover lasagna before leaving for his shift.
That's not true. He thought he wouldn't have enough time to eat it at home without being late for work, and how sweet it was of Buck to let Eddie take the rest of the lasagna home after dinner together the other night. That was it.
He should've realized what it meant to be walking in the only one with Buck's - with Bobby's - lasagna.
Of course there'd be a target on his back.
           Sharks started circling Eddie somewhere between the microwave beeping and him sitting at the table with his Tupperware.
           He tried ignoring them, but their gazes were like sharp fangs that poked at his back from where they glared at him behind the counter. Eddie didn’t need to turn around to know where they were. He saw them swim there in his periphery as he carried his lunch over. Before that, they floated by the railing; pretending to chat as if they didn’t care about what he heated up. It was obvious what they wanted even then.
           Eddie couldn’t take it anymore.
           He set his fork down and sighed. “I don’t care how long you watch me. I’m not sharing with you.”
           Hen groaned. Chimney slammed his hands on the countertop.
           “Now you’re being dramatic.”
           “We’re not dramatic,” Chimney growled. “We’re hungry.”
           That wasn’t his problem. The crew was warned on Bobby’s last day before his honeymoon they’d be fending for themselves until he returned. The fridges would still be fully stocked. If they wanted, any of them could try their hands at cooking one of the many recipes their captain generously left behind in the metal tin above the fridge. Despite these very detailed instructions, no one had successfully recreated their captain’s culinary masterpieces.
           Well… almost no one.
           Eddie tried to spear a few reheated noodles, to sate his own distracting hunger. The scrape of chairs being pulled from his left and right told him he’d have to wait a tad longer.
           He dropped his fork again. “Can’t you make sandwiches or something? Or order out?”
           “We could.” Hen’s eyes zeroed on Eddie’s meal. “We don’t want that.”
           “What do you want?”
           “We want Bobby’s lasagna.”
           “Well you’re not getting any – hey, hey!” Eddie whacked Chimney’s hand as it tried tiptoeing towards his unprotected lunch. Almost immediately Eddie snared his arms around a section of table in harried protection. “Stealing? Really? You’re resorting to that?”
           Chimney put on his best Jee Yun impression while kicking a nearby chair. “You left us with no choice.”
           “You have choices. I literally gave you two.”
           “We don’t want those choices!”
           “Then, too… bad!”
           Hen bent forward so her shoulder rubbed against his. “Come on, Eddie,” she whispered, using her soft voice. It was usually reserved for panicking victims, when Hen needed to coax them into letting her do her work. “That’s a lot of pasta, even for you. Carbs. Ugh, am I right? You don’t want all of it. We don’t want all of it. We’re not even asking for you to split it three ways… we get a plate, and you give us whatever you feel comfortable giving. Okay?”
           Eddie wasn’t panicking, nor was he a victim.
           He grabbed his fork a third time, stabbing blindly and glancing between his friends with a tight smile. “If you want lasagna, I’m sure the ingredients are around here somewhere…”
           Neither were amused. Especially as Eddie finally took his first bite and offered them nothing but an exaggerated moan to clue them in on how delicious his lunch was.
           Hen tore herself away from Eddie and leaned back in her seat. She fixed him with an expression that could cause sweat to drip down the necks of the steeliest nerved firefighters. “Diaz,” she huffed, “as your captain I am giving you a direct order to share your lunch.”
           Eddie pushed the noodles around with his fork, collecting more for another bite. He scoffed. “I don’t think captains have the power to do that.”
           “Maybe not. But captains do decide who has to be the man behind during calls.”
           He met her challenge with a dimpled smile. “Fine by me. Means I can take my time and really savor the taste of my lasagna.”
           Then he shoveled more of his lunch in and chewed with full cheeks and unfettered mouth noises.
           Dissatisfied grumbling exploded at his sides. Hen’s fingers twitched as she turned her head, removing Eddie’s smug chewing from her sight. Meanwhile Chimney jumped from his seat, not leaving, but putting some distance between him and the table before turning on his heel and walking back.
           He lunged for the top rail of his chair and throttled it, its legs clattering atop the floor. “This isn’t fair,” he hissed, “I’ve tried making that same lasagna almost ten times now and it’s still nowhere near perfect as Bobby’s. How were you able to get it right? You – you, you had to buy four different fire extinguishers for your kitchen in the same month!”
           Eddie pouted at the accusation but didn’t deny it. He found his lasagna extremely interesting as he muttered, “I only needed to use them twice… one of them was faulty.” He shoved more of his lunch in his mouth, eating, waiting for the heat to die in his cheeks before he spoke again. Eddie cleared his throat. “Besides, I’m not the one who cooked this.”
           The other two whipped their heads towards him. Their irritation and hunger paled as confusion took root, both firefighters asking the same question without voicing it.
           Eddie pointed at the stairs with his fork, where a freshly uniformed Buck had finished climbing the final step. “Buck did.”
           Hearing his name, Buck stopped. He looked at them with wide eyes, shocked to be called out so early into their shift. “What did I do?”
           “Buck?” Chimney said, “Buck made Bobby’s lasagna?”
           Buck visibly relaxed after hearing that, his shoulders sagging as he deflated. He huffed a tired breath out past a beaming, appreciative smile and continued walking. Buck made it to the other side of the table. “Took me a few tries but I did. Though it’s not as good as the original… obviously.”
           “It’s still really good,” Eddie told him, needling Hen’s sides with his elbow. His eyebrows danced as he added, “You have to try it some time.”
           Hen’s gaze roamed from Eddie to Buck, fixing him with an expectant stare. She asked, “Like now?”
           His jaw swung low, Buck’s bottom teeth on display as he stuttered out an explanation of why he couldn’t. An emergency could sound at any moment. He didn’t feel comfortable cooking in Bobby’s kitchen without him. He wasn’t in the right headspace.
           Eddie got both a meal and a show.
           “You don’t have to lie to us Buck,” Chimney interrupted. He freed Buck from his own torturous motormouth, but Eddie didn’t trust the wicked gleam that happened to shine in Chimney’s eye. It was aimed directly at Eddie. “It’s obvious you’ll only cook for one of us.”
           He nearly choked on his lasagna.
           Given how Hen and Chimney hadn’t rushed to his aid, how they snickered behind their fists, they weren’t worried whether he would survive or not.
           Buck, of course, stood uselessly across from him. While Chimney’s teasing caught Eddie off guard enough it made his muscles spasm, Buck’s shock spread like dominoes toppling over each other as his entire body shut down from the outside in.
           He rebooted in time to watch Eddie spit a mangled noodle into a napkin.
           His focus didn’t stay on Eddie long. It was divided, bouncing from Hen to Chimney and back again, repeatedly, as he rushed to explain. “That’s not true,” he barked, “I’d cook for either of you if you wanted. But you’re both busy… Hen with school and – and Chim with Jee, with Maddie… and it’s not like I’m always intending to cook. But it’s easier than kicking them out at dinner time.”
           Hen and Chimney worked in unison. Their stares met over Eddie’s head, possible only because Eddie sank low enough in his seat during Buck’s rambling that his knees grazed the nearest chair. “Sure…” Chimney drawled while Hen whistled, “it just so happens that you have to cook Eddie dinner all the time.”
           Buck stomped his foot. He now seized the chair with enough force to send it crashing into Eddie’s knees. He shot up in his seat, biting his lip to muffle his unbidden gasp. No one had noticed.
           “You’ve got it all wrong,” he cried, “I’m not cooking for Eddie. I do it for Chris. Eddie… happens to be there, is all.”
           This was ridiculous.
           Eddie scooted his chair back, rising from the table with the lukewarm, half-eaten Tupperware of lasagna in his hands. “I can’t eat with all of you here acting like kids,” he said, “I’m going somewhere else.”
           He soon learned that was the wrong choice. Leaving reminded Hen and Chimney that he was there. They lobbed a few comments at him, their calls and smacks of fake kisses trailing behind as he sped away.
           “If you go, then Buck won’t see how much you appreciate his cooking!” Hen laughed.
           Chimney snapped his fingers, “Better yet. Buck could feed you the food, if you’re having trouble eating!”
           Eddie collapsed on the couch and tried eating another bite of lasagna.
           It tasted like rubber. He lost his appetite.
           Chimney’s voice carried to where Eddie sat. He heard him yank Buck’s chain a final time. “Why don’t you go join him. You’ve been talking about needing a new couch anyway. Why not use the one you already have?”
           Eddie pinched the bridge of his nose.
           He wished Bobby was flying back yesterday.

Hen isn't a malicious person and she obviously doesn't know the full extent of what maddie dealt with because that isn't her business to know!
She's just trying to look out for chim with the information she has ans there's nothing wrong with that, especially since what she's saying is literally canon and has been addressed.

I can simultaneously love the episode and also understand what they were trying to do with the lack of eddie in the episode and also not like how they made that writing/directing choice to not address the lack of eddie!!! all of these are possible at once I promise!!!

You know what’s so great about Tommy?
He represents hope. He is living proof that people can not only change, but also turn their lives around.
When he was in the begins episodes, he was scared and spineless and sometimes an asshole, all for the purpose of fitting in with Good Ole Boys club. He was deep in the closet and had been in an unhealthy environment probably all of his life. Lou said that Tommy had a rough life, an unstable home and childhood. Add an undetermined amount of years in the army to however long he was trapped at the old 118, I’m starting to think he never realized another option was for him. Not that there wasn’t another option, but that it wasn’t an option he could have.
But then Chimney comes in. Someone on another post of mine pointed out that it was because Chim was an “other” and Tommy didn’t want to be pinned as an “other” too and I agree. Same with Hen, but sadly worse. She got awful treatment from the 118 and Tommy went along with it. But even back then, we got treated to things like Tommy hugging himself during Hen’s speech to the house, to his face falling when the captain uses the “diversity hire” line.
But then Bobby comes in and he’s not standing for people’s shit. Slowly, the 118 starts to move forward and while Tommy isn’t stuck fitting into a toxic boys club anymore, he’s left behind because he can’t move himself forward anymore without confronting who he is. So he leaves the 118 and moves to Harbor.
Somehow, somewhere along the way to where we are now, Tommy came out to himself and with the way he talks, probably started therapy. When we meet him again, he is so gentle to himself and those around him. This is a Tommy we could see glimpses of before, but now he’s finally safe to be himself in all aspects.
And I think this is so important for all people who find themselves with any parallels to Tommy’s storyline. For so many people that have to live in secret. For people trapped in a horrible environment, one they have to mimic to survive. For people who can’t face themselves until later on in life. For people who look successful on the outside, but are crumbling on the inside. And to the person who fits their gender roles to a T, the macho man or feminine woman, who doesn’t “look queer” or “act queer”. There’s a place for everyone.
You just have to find your place. Look what that did for Tommy.

whenever i've imagined the upcoming bucktommy kiss (which is a lot) where buck initiates the kiss at the wedding once tommy saves chim, i imagine buck runs up to tommy and immediately kisses him in front of everyone. which is great and all, but now i think it'd be great if it starts with a simple hug first. like there's a slowmo scene of tommy getting off the plane, looking around for someone he knows, and then buck yells his name and sprints over, we hear tommy let out a soft "evan" before he's stumbling at the force of buck's body colliding with his as he hugs him so tightly. and as buck holds him, there's a few reaction shots. bobby has a slightly raised eyebrow, wondering when they got so close, athena looks a lil confused but happy nonetheless, hen and karen share a look, maybe we see buck's parents share one too (but less knowing/sweet and more worried), and eddie smiles a lil. let's out a sigh of relief because tommy is his friend too and he's glad he's safe. and THEN buck kisses tommy. and oh my god we get to see everyone's face switch immediately. the shock and the confusion and the pride. oh it'd just be so beautiful.
