i think my favorite gate of whimsy bizarre room is probably the phantomart one solely because hailey can also get it which means that you can get some pretty good items as her since you can buy stuff normally. but also because jibanyan still rides in the cart. best oversight i think-

Possible Happy Ending
Tumblr media
~ gif not mine credit to owner ~
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x fem!Reader, past Steve x fem!Reader
Summary: It’s been three years since Reader left Steve, after bumping into someone she might have the chance of a happy ending.
Word count: 1,156
Warnings: swearing, self-doubting. I’m pretty sure that’s it.
Masterlist
Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3
Tumblr media
Three years have been and gone since you finally decided to leave Steve it hasn’t gotten any easier but you’re doing okay. Your mum rang you a few days after you left panicking saying Steve had showed up that you and your stuff had gone. A month after you left Steve and Sharon went public with their relationship, you were devastated so you went to the local shelter and got two kittens why? You’re not entirely sure but you love them both so much.
Four months after you left, you’re walking to the local cafe when suddenly you bump into someone straight away your spluttering apologies when your name is suddenly said. Bucky is standing in front of you with a big smile on his face asking where you have been; how you’ve been. You both head to the cafe to talk and it’s going amazingly well. He tells you he missed seeing you around and that Steve looked for you everywhere. You exchange numbers with him promising not to tell Steve, even though he’s with Sharon now you don’t want him showing up as you just simply can’t deal with that anymore.
In the following weeks and months after meeting Bucky again he becomes your best friend (your only friend too) he comes to the apartment every Friday and even sometimes stays until Sunday. He truly is the sweetest man ever, his favourite thing to do is wind the cats up and getting them hyper just before he leaves. It drives you crazy you complain with a smile on your face as you can’t even imagine to be mad at him not when he has that stupid beautiful smile on his face. 
Now you’re not exactly sure when it started but the feelings for Bucky were starting to get out of hand, you knew yourself it would be so wrong to say anything to him about how you had this butterfly tingling feeling in your stomach which has now turned into pterodactyls trying to break out of your stomach every time he looks at you. It’s wrong. He’s your ex-boyfriends best friend. Plus he’s James Buchanan Barnes he’s not going to like you the only reason why he’s here at your apartment every weekend ordering pizza or Chinese and talking to you about anything and everything for hours is because he feels sorry for you. Idiot.
A year after you left it went public that the it couple known as Steve and Sharon had broken up. From what Bucky told you Steve apparently walked into the apartment he shared with you and caught Sharon cheating with a guy Steve had been suspicious of. According to Buck Steve was crying out your name and begging up at the ceiling for you to come home.
A few days after that Steve was seen with a new woman on his arm. Your sister.
Your heart shattered, ringing your mum she told you that everyone thought it was okay for your sister to date you ex because he was your ex. You hung up and cried. The tears didn’t last long though as Bucky let himself into your apartment and found you in bed crying so he climbed into bed with you and cuddled you. You’re pretty sure you both ended up watching The Big Bang Theory but couldn’t remember as you were too busy watching Bucky laughing and stroking one of the cats.
Your sister and Steve didn’t last two months because every time they had sex it was your name finally spilling from his mouth.
It’s your birthday and the plan was to have a nice hot relaxing bath then order yourself a Chinese and curl up on the couch with the cats and watch your favourite show. Simple and plain. That was until your favourite person knocked on the door with a huge bouquet of your favourite flowers, Chinese food and a bag with ‘happy birthday’ written across it. He tells you that you shouldn’t be spending your birthday on your own, so you point to the cats and with that he lets out that sound that makes your heart flutter. Halfway through the fourth episode of the series he suggested, you notice him looking at you, so you pull a weird face which again makes him let out that sound. You mentally scold your idiotic heart to stop fluttering.
“Y/n I need to tell you something” he speaks so softly and instantly you can tell he’s nervous.
“What’s up Buck” trying to hard not to stumble over three simple words.
“I-um w-well I need y I-I need to tell you s-s-something” he’s struggling and that gets you scared.
“B-Bucky you can tell me anything you know this” God if you’re real please kill me. Now.
Taking a deep breath, he says “iminlovewithyou”
“What? Say that again Buck but slower” did I just hear correctly? No. He didn’t just say that you idiot. Wishful thinking though pal.
“I’m in love with you. I have been since you stitched up my arm even though I heal fast six years ago. W-when he told me you two was dating, I was crushed and I knew it was wrong your was my best friends girlfriend but I couldn’t help it. You’re an angel absolutely perfect. When you broke up with him I was more devastated than him because I knew I wouldn’t get to see you again but then we bumped into each other a-and them feelings was still ther - oh shit Y/N shit I didn’t mean to make you cry im sor-“ he didn’t get to finish that word because you kissed him. 
You kissed him.
Holy shit. 
What do you do?
Do you stop?
Do you continue?
Oh. 
He’s kissing you back.
Took you long enough Bucky, jeez.
After what felt like an eternity you both pulled apart breathless with huge dopey smiles on your faces. 
“Are you sure Bucky? Are you sure that this is how you really feel?” Shut up! Why are you asking?
“Baby I’m in love with you. My heart aches when I’m not with you. You’re the first thing on my mind when I wake up and the last thing when I close my eyes and even then, you just follow me into my dreams” There isn’t any hesitation or hint that this could all be a wind up.
“I’m in love with you too. I know it’s terrible since who your best friend is but I can’t hel-“ this time he cuts you off with his perfect plumb lips on yours. 
Bucky picks you up like you weigh nothing and carries you to bed. He kisses every stretch mark, scar, beauty mark on your entire body as he makes love to you, he tells you how much he loves you. Laying in his arms sweaty and breathless you can’t help it when a few rogue tears slip onto his chest.

Back to Life
human!alastor x human!gnreader
Part 1 of 5+
summary for part: you had just been for a walk in the woods, and now suddenly you’re standing over a historical looking guy with a chipper attitude and… a gun? thankfully he’s here to help you in your bloodied and confused state, but as things play out you can’t help but notice nothing is like it was before your fall, and all you have to trust is the odd grinning man
summary for series: One day when waltzing through the woods a peculiar looking buck led you deeper in, while following, you fell hitting your head and woke to a stranger standing over you. You don’t know where you are, how you got here, or who this guy is, but he’s all you’ve got and he’s utterly insane.
warnings for part: short first chap, lowercase intended; i’m feeling quirkyyy, multiple parts-i put other things aside because my brain is STUCK on human alastor sorry lads ;-;, blood, descriptions of injury, kinda strange stylized writing, i’ve got like a whole story thing planned compared to the other ones-this one’s got a whole plot line. no descriptions of reader- of any kind, no pronouns, i looked up a shit ton of 1920s outfits & speech just for a couple lines lmao, OOC alastor my reasoning behind that is he’s not in hell yet so he hasn’t had that kind of demonic development yet, he’s still a psycho tho and we love him for that, also mommas boy <3, he uses 1920s slang a lot lads, throughout the whole series
warnings for series: homicide, morally grey reader, eventual smut, cannibalism, reader will eat a guy, unknowingly, alastor be doing witchcraft magical madness but it’s never in depth explanations, alastor is a mommas boy and it will be hounded on, annoying 1920s slang, alastor is more accumulated to the era he’s in so he may be OOC 100 years in hell would change a guy, varying descriptions of injuries and blood in detail, takes place in 1927, alastor is 27 oop born in 1899 tho, nothing here is canon, just loosely follows, reader is in their 20s at least; no younger, alastors mom is nameless mostly, maybe later on she’ll have a name; she’s 48, alastor has daddy issues bc same, mimzy may be added later depending,
you remembered seeing a deer while wandering through the woods, you were taking pictures of the scenery when you saw this curious looking deer.
it stood tall with large antlers, a beautiful reddish brown coat, you’d never seen a deer so close. brining your camera up slow you went to snap a picture when your phone crashed, you weren’t even able to get the buck in frame before your phone fizzled out.
the deer started to walk away, but you so badly wanted these pictures. slowly you followed behind, cautious of the leaves and sticks below your feet. you followed it over a fallen tree, through bush and branch. finally you entered an area filled with more foliage, closer trees that blocked off sunlight, more bushes and fallen trees, wild flowers, moss and random mushrooms.
you watched as the buck disappeared behind thick bush, and that’s the last conscious moment you remembered. you woke at the bottom of the hill, when you opened your eyes you didn’t know a thing.
it was like you were a blank slate, everything was as it was; there was no confusion, you were simply in the woods with no worry or question as to why. you laid there, your head lulling from side to side observing the tree covered sky above, the sunlight that shot through the trees highlighting the particles floating through the air.
there wasn’t a sound at all; the animals feared something near. inhaling deeply, you willed your head up, wincing and groaning in pain. suddenly life as you knew it came back to you, you weren’t just a mindless being in the woods, you were you, and you were out here taking pictures and then, fell?
you still weren’t sure what had happened just that you followed a deer and then… fell asleep and woke here. your body ached badly, specifically your forehead, your back, neck and shoulders. it seemed the brunt of the fall was your head, lifting your hand you touched your forehead feeling a flap of skin that wasn’t there before.
looking down at your hand you weren’t surprised to see some blood, in fact the top you had worn had been covered in it. “hello dear, funny place to snooze if ya ask me.” a voice joked, startling you. however your body was too tired to startle, so despite your heart rate increasing, and the jump you felt in your bones, your body remained eerily still, your head slowly turning toward the sound.
standing above you was a man with a soft smile, he wore circluar glasses and the strangest outfit. he wore a coat chestnut brown- a lumberjack coat; strange looking pants that puffed out at the hips, with boots that the pants cinched into them. his hands were covered by gloves, and tiny brown coloured coiled curls popped out from his hunting cap, and on his shoulder a leather strap that allowed a large shotgun to sit on his back.
you were taken aback by his looks, his outfit looked vintage, historical too, and he was, well, gorgeous. “you’re bleeding quite a bit dear, how’s about we getcha up and outta here, hm?” lending his hand to you, the man gave you a charming smile with lidded eyes. you felt something was off about the man, a lingering feeling that something beyond your understanding was telling you to run, get away.
instead you whimpered, pathetically so, and placed your hand into his, letting him hoist you up. he wrapped your arm around him, while he looped his own arm under you, helping you walk. it was hard to do so, your ribs hurt with every breath you took, your head felt like it was floating above your shoulders, your cheeks watered making you swallow constantly, and though you were shivering your body felt ablaze on the inside, like hot coals were lit under your skin.
the man looked down at you, you could see from your peripheral vision he was inspecting you, but you were too pained to care. “how’d you find yourself at the bottom of the hill my dear, someone try to bump you off?” his voice was way too chipper for your current mood, and all you did was mutter a confused ‘huh’ at him, thankfully he laughed that off.
“listen, i’ll take you to my joint my mothers over so we can getcha all patched up, but you’ve gotta spill whatever happened to you if that’s quite alright.” despite the sturdiness in his voice, asserting what was going to happen with expectations, he tone was somewhat kind. dryly you mutter out ‘name?’, your voice raspy and unlike your own. the man chuckled before he responded in a smooth tone. “alastor dear, pleasure to meet you.”

dallas but with a sweetheart soc! gf. i feel like he’d be the sort of person to be like “i’m never gonna go for a soc especially a nice one” only to be completely smitten with one the minute he meets her 😭😭😭
Dallas Winston x sweetheart!soc!reader
!warnings!
1.fem!reader
2.swearing, minor mentions of violence and blood.
Tumblr media
honest to god, he didn’t believe you existed.
people would talk about this nice soc who’s ‘real nice to us grease.’
all dallas did when he heard this was kiss his teeth and shake his head.
“yeah right, when’s the last time you ever met a nice soc? never, cause they don’t exist. get your head outta the clouds you idiot.”
UNTILL he actually just so happened to run into you!
you were walking, alone. stupid—you already knew that.
you just wanted to walk around tusla in peace!
then dallas winston came and ruined it.
“woah. what’s a pretty girl like you doin ‘round these parts?”
dallas said from behind you, trying to lean into your view as you kept walking.
“huh? ‘these parts?’”
“yeah, little miss. these parts. where the hoods stay. you don’t look like no grease, anyhow.”
that’s when you finally understood what he meant.
you’re a soc that’s walking around the east side!
“oh! i’m sorry, should i-uh, walk back?”
dallas didn’t know what you meant—sorry? walk back?
“why’d you go and go that?”
“well—you clearly don’t want me here and i don’t wanna make you upset! im sorry if i did, i ain’t mean it!”
ohh…you’re that sweetheart soc everyone was talking about.
dally’s demeanour immediately changed. it went from sweet to nonchalant, cool, tuff guy.
“yeah, it’s best you go. might get hurt or something..”
so with that, you nodded your head and walked in the opposite direction.
while you were fleeing the scene, dallas couldn’t stop thinking about you.
he thought about how cute your hair was, how pretty you looked under the moonlight, how—wait. what is he saying?!
you’re a soc! he’d rather die than go after a soc!
he just grumbled to himself, cursing himself out.
the days following, every time a person mentioned you at all, he’d try to switch the conversation.
“that nice soc came ‘round recently. she-“
“uh-anyways, buck’s having a part tonight.”
dally didn’t go around saying he didn’t believe you were real or that he hated you anymore. instead he just went around looking for you!
and one fateful day, he ran into you again!
“hey, i remember you! i didn’t catch your name!”
“dallas winston. what’s your name, pretty?”
“y/n l/n. oh—and thank you!”
since then, you and dallas would talk more and more. even hanging out on some occasions!
you just thought it was all because he was a really nice friend, which made you sad because you liked dallas winston a lot!
maybe a little too much…you found yourself purposely going onto greaser territory just to see him.
and it’s not like he didn’t like you too! he totally did, and you could tell!
dallas ain’t very good at hiding his blush.
but he was in complete denial. he refuses to accept that he likes another girl after syliva, let alone the someone apart of the group of people he hates the most.
one lovely and wonderful day you and dally went on a drive! …in your car, obviously.
dallas had pulled into an empty parking lot and turned to face you.
“why are we here, dal? you oka-“
“i like you.”
“…what?”
dallas sighs and thoughts start running through his head about how he knew he shouldn’t have told you, how he knew it was stupid, how all soc’s are the same.
a soc girl dating a hood like him was unheard of, so he thought if you rejected him he’d get over you.
well, that’s what he thought before it actually came. he was embarrassed—he wanted to just run out, he should it’d save him the trouble—
when suddenly his worries were cut off by your angelic giggle.
“i like you too, dallas.”
then without thinking, the two of you lean over the centre console and have your very first kiss as a couple <3
you best believe he’s bragging about you to everyone and anyone.
“yeah but i don’t see you dating a soc, let alone y/n, steve. up your fucking game.”
“I’M GOING TO BODYSLAM YOU DALLAS.”
he steals stuff for you but REFUSES to tell you he stole them. he thinks you’ll have a heart attack if he does.
when he sees a cute shirt you’d like? snatched. your favourite snack? already in his jacket. a cute necklace with his initial? NOT SAFE! HE ALREADY TOOK IT!
he’s so whipped for you oh my LORD.
dallas is pushing other girls away that WILLINGLY flirted with him.
“yeah, huh uh. that’s nice ‘n all but, i got a girlfriend.”
he will walk into soc territory for you. he can and he will.
he doesn’t care who tries to jump him, he has pretty flowers to give you at your doorstep!
cuddling?? cuddling.
while at the drive-in you guys are definitely that one cute couple that everyone looks at when they walk by.
dallas’s arm around your shoulders as he brings you closer to him with your head resting on his shoulder.
looking up at him as he looks down at you and flashes his famous smile<3
i can see it now!
still can’t believe how nice you are sometimes??
like he just doesn’t get why you’re apologizing to a door??
“oh! i’m so sorry.”
“that’s a door, doll.”
PATCHING HIM UP AFTER FIGHTS??? OH MY GOD???
him sitting on your kitchen counter with bruises and cuts all over his body as you scramble to find any sort of bandages.
“oh dall, look at you!”
“i’ll be fine, love.”
“BUT I WON’T BE!! YOU’RE BLEEDING SO MUCH!!”
not gonna lie, when dallas told the gang he was dating you they thought he was lying.
“yeah right.”
“mhm, and i’m sober right now. ya know, since we’re lying.”
“dallas, stop lying to us.”
“guys what the fuck???”
dallas waited awhile before you met the gang. even though he trusted you fully, you were still a soc.
and you know how greasers and socs are together, right?
but when you do meet them?? they are HOLLERING.
“HOLY SHIT IT WAS TRUE!”
“STEVE HOLD ME I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN!”
“AND SHE’S ACTUALLY PRETTY??”
dallas felt a little offended at the last part.
your friends didn’t like that you were hanging around the toughest greaser in tusla, and they let you know that.
“i still can’t believe you gave that hood a chance, y/n.”
“me neither, you doin’ charity work now?”
“c’mon guys! he’s real sweet when he’s with me, you just don’t know the dallas i know!”
but overtime, they had no choice but to accept it.
they just couldn’t believe that an angel like you would go after the devil himself!
your friends knew that you were whipped for dallas n they couldn’t do anything about it.
you two were head over heels for each other.
tulsa’s it couple, as some would say!
author notes ;
1.SORRY FOR THE DELAY FOR THIS OMFG.
2.im legit inlove with this idea?? your mind?? holy shit???
3.I HOPE U LIKE THIS LMFAO

This is a Buddie fic rec list where "one of them isn't a firefighter" That makes me warm and happy every time I read them <3
Part 1 || Part 2
Exploding Coffee Machines by inkinmyheartandonthepage (@inkinmyheartandonthepage) | 9k | General
Buck couldn’t be blamed for falling in love with his neighbour. He was powerless against the Diaz boys and wanted nothing more than to be swept up in their everything. Buck thought that Eddie felt the same, that their feelings of more than just being platonic best friends was mutual. Buck had been hopeful that Eddie inviting him to his boss’s house to meet his friends and co-workers meant that they were taking a step in the right direction.
A step that now Buck was going to be late for OR Buck gets burned at work and worries that he's blown his shot with Eddie when he runs late to meet his friends.
What is Love For $2000? by fayevian 17k | Mature
On the screen, the camera pans down as they introduce the contestants. Mary, on her 3rd day winning streak, is a dowdy teacher type. Center stage is occupied by a graying man with loopy handwriting named Auggie. And all the way to the right is… Evan. Damn. --- One night when Eddie can't sleep, he discovers the hottest Jeopardy contestant of all time (objectively). With the "help" of his team and his fairly good working knowledge of Twitter, they devise a plan to get Evan (from Jeopardy) to slide into Eddie's DMs. It works surprisingly well.
i like you so much (it's kinda gross) by brewrosemilk, stardustbuddie (@gayhoediaz) (@wh0re-behavi0r) | 10k | Explicit
Buck Buckley (@/firefighterbuck): @/eddiediaz I’ll never be able to tug your hair now, huh?
Eddie Diaz (@/eddiediaz): @/firefighterbuck It’s against the rules, anyway. You don’t look like a fighter, though. What situation would we be in that would make you want to tug my hair?
(Or: Eddie is an MMA fighter and Buck thirsts on twitter.)
you make the world taste better by farfromthstars (@buckactuallys) | 11k | Teen
They follow the room numbers down the hallway until the last door on the right. It’s slightly ajar, and when Eddie knocks politely, it opens further.
“Hey,” a cheerful, male voice says. “You guys are early!”
When Eddie spots the source of the voice, he nearly swallows his tongue.
The man is tall, with broad shoulders and huge arms, a sunny smile on his face that looks so genuine Eddie can’t help but smile back. There’s a splash of pink over his one eye, his hair is just the slightest bit curly, and his eyes are startlingly blue. He’s also about 80% legs, and leaning on a cane to walk.
Belatedly, Eddie remembers that he should say something too, not just stare at this guy approaching them.
“Uh,” he starts eloquently. “Sorry. This one was getting impatient at home ~ Newly arrived to LA, Eddie decides to take his son to parent/child cooking classes. The instructor is so much more than he expected
stupid people. by brewrosemilk (@gayhoediaz) | 160k | Explicit
New in Los Angeles, and having recently admitted to himself that he's gay, Eddie figures that hiring a sex worker might be a good way to keep his private life cut off from his job and his son. A way to keep things from becoming too complicated.
It works. For a while.
your dreary mondays by hammersmiths (@henswilsons) | 33k | Teen
“Wait, you need a sitter?” Chimney says. Eddie nods. “Maddie’s brother got back in town a few nights ago, he’s looking for work.”
Eddie frowns. He doesn’t know much about this mysterious brother of Maddie’s – doesn’t even really know much about Maddie, either, aside from being Chimney’s girlfriend – but he’s pretty sure every time he’s been brought up in conversation it’s not been particularly inspiring. “Is this the brother who flunked out of college because he spent all his tuition on a motorcycle?”
Chimney colours a little. “Um. No?”
or, Buck babysits Christopher and Eddie is—fine about it, actually.
one single thread of gold (tied me to you) by heartbeatdiaz (@heartbeatdiaz) | 4k | Teen
Eddie doesn't know much about Chris' science teacher, except that he's his son favorite and apparently knows everything there's to know. ( Those were Christopher's words. )
So when he enters the classroom, expecting an old man dressed nicely but a little old-fashioned as the science teacher, his whole life crashes to a halt.
"Evan?" The man who's leaning against the desk, looking at some papers, suddenly startles and looks up at Eddie with wide blue eyes.
"Holy shit," It's what the man says after spending at least a minute opening and closing his mouth. or; Eddie met Evan when he was a bartender in Peru and Eddie was on vacation with his cousins. They had a one night stand and Eddie woke up the next morning to an empty bed and a disappointed heart. Just for the same guy to end up being Chris' teacher years after.
always glad you came by foxwatson (@eddiediazes) | 5k | Teen
Buck is the incredibly kind but incredibly straight bartender at Eddie's local gay bar. Eddie is trying very, very hard not to be pathetically in love with him, and is failing miserably.
“Hey, you’re back,” Buck had said, greeting him with that sun-bright grin, and Eddie had yet again been reminded why he’d started questioning his sexuality.
“Well, I get one night off a week. And tonight I could really use the drink.”
Buck’s brow had furrowed, and he got Eddie his favorite beer without even asking again what it was. “You need to talk about it? Assuming I read you right and you’re the kind of guy who talks to a bartender instead of a therapist.”
Eddie had winced theatrically. “Ouch. That obvious, huh?”
“Hey, man, you’re the one that told me you started coming here on your coworker’s advice. Feels like something you’d get from a therapist, if you had one.”
see the stars with my morning eyes by trippedandfell (@trippedandfell) | 3k | Teen
“So,” Buck announces, sitting down between Hen and Chimney at the concessions stand. “I think Eddie’s trying to get me to sleep with him and his fiancée.”
or: Eddie calls Lucy his partner. Buck extrapolates.
walking on sunshine by fallingthorns (@fallingthorns) | 5k | Teen
“Shut up,” Buck grumbles at the dog. “It’s not a crush.”
Buck walks out of the room, out the backdoor, and into the yard, trying to ignore his large and judgmental dog following behind him.
“I don’t want to hear it,” Buck tells him as he gets the hose out to start watering his plants. “Keep it to yourself.”
“Who are you talking to?”
Buck startles and drops the hose, doing a quick 180-degree turn and coming face-to-face with Eddie. He’s clearly standing on something, elbows folded over the top of the fence and chin resting on them as he looks at Buck. His expression looks almost fond and it kind of makes Buck want to both preen and die of embarrassment. -- Or, the one where Buck owns a doggy daycare, has a large dog with an attitude, and is hopelessly in love with his new neighbor.
Under Any Roof by moncuries (@moncuries) | 10k | Teen
Eddie Diaz does not need a noisy neighbor on top of all the shit he's trying to work out.
But he does make really good mac and cheese. -- “You know,” And Buck is meeting his eyes now. They’re uncannily blue. Like Kool-Aid or popsicles. “If you want, I could show you what I get up to up there?”
What? WHAT? Eddie feels heat spread from the tips of his ears to his toes. No way had he just gotten propositioned before sunrise in the decrepit hallway of their apartment building. “Um. No.” He backs up until his calves brush the door to 101. “Thank you, really. But no.”
my house of stone, your ivy grows by stayeven (@demieddie) | 7k | Mature
When Eddie resigns himself to buying sex toys in person—despite the popularity of online ordering now—he expects to be embarrassed and overwhelmed. What he doesn't expect is to leave with a crush on the employee with captivating blue eyes.
and we can stay all day by trippedandfell (@trippedandfell) | 3k | Teen
“So let me get this straight,” Hen says, once she’s stopped laughing at him. “Your nerd crush-
“-Evan Buckley,” Eddie miserably interjects.
“Your nerd crush,” Hen repeats, waggling her eyebrows. At the kitchen table beside her, Chimney is grinning like Christmas just came early. “Read your drunk tweet and then sent you animal facts via DM?”
or: Buck's a zoologist. Eddie's pretty sure he's in love.

Franklin Part 4
Tumblr media
Warnings: Use of curse words and N-word
As expected Franklin did indeed figure out who approached you, what shocked you was how quick he was able to figure it out. You hear rumors about their disappearance, beatings and/or shootings either way you don't see them around anymore in the following weeks. The more you thought about it the more scared you got because either one of them could put things together and come for you or they were actually dead and you can't decide which fate you feared most. You spent some time looking over your shoulder afterwards.
On top of that you had your own personal shit to deal with, you couldn't figure out which stung more Franklin lying to you and playing you or him moving on like you meant nothing.  You heard about him going back to Melody fooling with her and with other girls from different blocks. Brenda, Keisha, who else? You had no beef with them, you caught a glimpse of one of  them once when Harmony dragged you to a party, tired of your pity party. 
“Fuck!” You complain to yourself wiping your tears away while trying to focus at work. You had just stepped away from a patient's room to get them water and now at the fountain, you were fighting back against your tears but failing. You rush to the bathroom to calm down. 
“Maybe you like him more than you think?” your mind Replays Harmony’s comments 
“What is wrong with me?” You look at yourself in the bathroom mirror 
You didn't want to admit it to yourself that you did indeed like Franklin and you were pissed he played you. A long time had passed between your break up with your ex and Franklin's date. You forgot how much you actually missed getting attention from a guy. And Franklin’s attention was a breath of fresh air and suffocating at the same time. When he looked at you his eyes never left you. You remember blushing so much at the fact that he actually paid attention he was present in all the conversations. 
You take in a deep breath “okay enough!”  you scold yourself, a small pep talk “you got this! Room 5 still needs water, 12 needs blankets and another gown, and room 19 wants something to eat“ You say to yourself as you read down your list.  The rest of your shift you force yourself to focus on work and nothing else. It was for the best anyway. It was best if you two just didn’t try to pursue each other. 
School, work, home, work, school, home. Your life returns to its norm, finally after you stop feeling sad for yourself you fall back into your routine. You have 3 semesters remaining from getting your general studies degree. You were so close you could see the light at the end of the tunnel. 
However tonight was a girls night, it was your idea to make it a girls night, surprising Harmony in the process. You look at your watch Harmony and LaShay were supposed to be coming down from Sean's house  the three of you were going to the Prince concert downtown and the way this was the concert of your lifetimes to date so you needed them to hurry the fuck up or traffic would have you all missing the show. 
“Shit!” you grumble to yourself, as you grab your purse and keys you had to go rush them out or you three two would be fighting over this concert 
You don't bother to knock on the door, instead walk into the house full of men. Franklin's men? Maybe Leon's? Acquaintances looking to make a buck? Who knows you didn't know them well enough to care, you didn't want to either. 
“Damn you be walking into people's cribs like that, no knocking?” one of them jokes 
“Shut up! Where's Harmony and LaShay?” you were not in the mood 
“Yo Shay! Harmony!” he shouts 
“What?” you hear Harmony’s voice over the music
You walk in further into the house 
“Oh hey Y/N!” Lashay greets as she rounds the corner 
“Hey!” you return the greeting looking her up and down 
“I'm ready girl!” she chuckles noticing your mood 
“HARMONY! “ Lashay calls to her 
“WHAT?” 
“YOUR COUSIN HERE!”
“Y/N?!” You see her head poke out the door “Hey girl i'm almost ready!”  she says noting your expression you knew she was the culprit 
You sigh hoping she was telling the truth “Hey how y'all doing?” you wave and ask as you look around the room 
A round of greetings go around the room. You don't spot him at first but as soon as one of the men moves out of the way you two make eye contact for a few seconds
“So y’all going to that Prince concert?” you hear another guy ask
“If Harmony hurry’s the fuck up! HARMONY! HURRY IT THE FUCK UP!” you complain 
“I’M COMING!”
“Damn!” He chuckles “I didn't know you were mean Y/N” 
“Yea Louie already on her way with her homegirl!” Jerome comments 
You roll your eyes “Lucky her” 
You turn your attention to LaShay, you both spend time complimenting each other’s outfits. From your peripheral you take in his posture on the chair, legs wide open man spread to the max going over details on what looked like the city map. You turn your body to avoid your eyes drifting slowly to him. 
There's a silence  that takes over the room, minimal chatter, and music playing. You feel eyes on you and choose not to acknowledge it. You and LaSshay were not supposed to be there they were discussing privy information if Harmony would just get the fuck dressed. You hear heels clicking down the hall and you couldn't be happier. You 3 say your goodbyes before making it to your car with a promise to Sean and Dreads you would be bringing their girlfriends back to them safely.
A part of you silently envied them, lucky bitches had men looking out for them but tonight was not the night to lick your wounds tonight was the night to see Prince in person have a good time dance, drink, sing till you lost your voice and that's what you did. 
You're later than expected  but you make it back to Sean's house eventually, again LA traffic was no joke and it seemed like the entire city made their way to this concert. You and Harmony grab Lashay and make your way into Sean’s house. The house was still full. Instead of the city map you see beer bottles and cans on the table. You quickly scan the room and don't see Franklin. You sigh in relief you always felt exposed to him. 
“She can lay in the spare bedroom” Harmony says as Dread’s grabs an arm
“I got her” Dreads says picking her up taking her from both of you
“Damn yall must have had fun!” Sean comments giving Harmony a kiss on her cheek 
“YEA I’M SURE THEY DID!” you hear Louie laugh
You both turn to find her “Louie, how'd you get here before us?” Harmony asks as you follow her towards the sound of laughter
She stood in the kitchen with Jerome and some of Franklin's men. “Girl by that last song I was walking out the door. You know how LA traffic is”  she speaks over the music 
You shoot your cousin a look she had insisted you guys sit for a moment before leaving still awestruck from Prince 
“Sorry” she mouths to you 
“Alright I'm gonna go home”  you say “goodnight y'all” you say turning to leave
“Y/N!”  you hear before feeling a soft grip on your hand when you turn to look back you see Franklin with that fox smile you had failed to scan the kitchen thinking he was gone you should have, why was he always in the cut somewhere? 
You glance down at your hands for a split second “Oh! Hey Franklin!”  you greet as he pulls you closer leaning against the counter
It felt like all eyes were on you but in reality it was just Franklin's there he goes again once his gaze was fixated on you there was no escaping. You give him a light hug damn he smelled good you think to yourself
“You look good!” he says to you 
“What ?” you say motioning to your ear “I can't...” 
He pulls you in even closer, leans down to ear level  “I said you look good!” he had analyzed your outfit from earlier, lilac dress, cut right about your knees, deep v  cleavage in the front, gold accessories and heels. He noticed the stares around the room, and couldn't help but feel the bite of jealousy 
“Thanks Franklin!” 
He missed hearing his name roll of your tongue 
“Can we talk?” 
“Oh!” you take a step back to look up at him this was unexpected, now you were unsure of him being so close you were sure you smelled like a mixture of perfume, hairspray, cigarettes (from LaShay chain smoking), and sweat 
He looks at you gauging your reaction “No time like the present” he adds 
“Sure” you nod he had yet to let go of your hand as he pulled you through the crowded kitchen towards the back patio 
You glance at Jerome who had a smirk on his face  and when you turn to find Harmony she's grinning. Was this a set up?  He still doesn't let go of your hand until he closes the kitchen door leaving you two alone outside taking in the cool night you're glad for the breeze. 
“Shit didn't know it was this cold here” he begins to shrugs off his jacket 
You put your hand up to stop him “It's okay Franklin feels good out here!” the house was hot or you were still hot from carrying Lashay up the steps 
He stops and rolls his shoulders back. He watches you take a seat on the steps of the patio, Sean didn't have any outdoor furniture so the only place to sit were the steps he follows suit and sits next to you. You were close enough that you could touch him but he was far enough that your bodies were not touching 
“You look beautiful tonight”  he compliments again 
You giggle nervously “I know you told me Franklin” 
He smiles “Wanna make sure you heard me” 
“I did thanks feet hurt though” you say looking down at your feet 
His eyes follow, looking at your feet as well “I can rub your corns for you” he offers 
You shove his shoulder and laugh “fuck you nigga I don't have corns” 
He laughs along with you “my bad! my bad! I know that pinky toe screaming though!” you roll your eyes in response “A nigga can't even offer to do something nice!” 
You chuckle and look down at your feet he wasn't wrong you're sure your pinky died tonight
The laughter dies down and an awkward silence takes over 
You begin count to backwards from 100 internally if you got to one you would wish him well and go home (‘33’) you count “Im sorry?”  you say as you realize he was speaking 
“I wanted to apologize to you” he repeats
“Oh it's...” 
He interrupts you “Nah it was fucked up the truth is I didn't ask you out for no bet. The bet was just the extra push I needed” 
You look at him “Push?” 
“Yea I was nervous” he confesses
You make a face “Nervous?!” 
“Yea!” He turns to face you “what? a nigga can’t get nervous?” 
“No I just didn't think you would be” you say softly 
“Well I was!” he defends “You're beautiful and as far as I can tell it's like every nigga who ain't got a girl looking at you” 
“Ohhh” you feel flustered and look away 
You hear him exhale “anyway I wanted to let you know I was being genuine during our date and I'm apologizing for hurting your feelings I didn't think I had snitches in my crew but thats not the point I fucked up” 
“Thanks Franklin I accept your apology” you smile at him 
He smiles back. The awkward silence is back 
You look down and notice his scarred hand. He must have been in a fight recently. Without thinking you grab it and run your fingers across his knuckles and reality comes crashing down when you hear an argument erupt. You both instinctively look back you turn and face each other and smile awkwardly 
“I'm sorry”  you say noticing you still his hand still in your hold his returning it to its original spot 
Franklin puts it back in your hands “It's cool”  
The silence returns 
(‘Don't do it!’ you speak to yourself ‘don't fucking’)  “What would you do?” (‘you stupid hoe’)
“Hmm?” he hums 
You distract yourself with his hand again also to keep the full grown butterflies in your stomach at bay “If it was you” you speak slowly “what would you do?” 
He closes his hand on your fingers. You feel your heart race waiting for his response not wanting to make eye contact because anyone with two brain cells wouldn't even ask that question let alone entertain the idea of a second chance...Right? 
He moves closer, your bodies are now touching you still haven't looked up at him. The embarrassment was too strong. 
It takes him a moment to think “Honestly” you hold your breath and immediately look up glad he wasn't looking you but looking ahead “I don't know Y/N” he answers truthfully he turns to face you “I don't know I can't tell you” 
You return a half smile and look away “thanks for being honest Franklin” 
Silence returns for a moment before you decide to loop your arm around his and lay your head on his shoulder “So what if we take it slow?” you propose
“Slow?” 
You look up at him “Yea slow but like snail pace slow” 
He hums and smirks  “I wouldn’t mind that” 
You face away hiding your smile “Okay” you say softly. It feels like immense pressure has been released from your body. Instead of fighting against his pull you just succumbed to it. This felt right, it felt like this is what it should be.  
Franklin wraps his arms around you pulling you closer to him, you look up at him, and there it was again his intense stare, one hand reached and pushed your hair out of the way so he could see your face
In a hushed voice he says “Snails pace?” he confirms
“Yea” you whisper back while nodding, with shallow breaths, heart racing as you watch him inch closer thumb caressing your cheek
“Come'ere” he whispers, hand gently pulling your face towards his before planting a soft kiss on your lips. He sighs into the kiss releasing the tension he was holding onto as well he pulls away leaving lingering pecks on your lips “okay gorgeous” 
You blush and roll your eyes “here we go Casanova” 
He chuckles before kissing you again “mmmm” he moans “I could get used to this” he says once he pulls away
You hear more commotion again “we should get back you got to lay down the law or they gon shoot each other” 
“Stupid mothafuckas” he grumbles standing up and holding his hand out 
You giggled as you stood up “be nice” 
He smacks his lips at your comment “Got goosebumps talking bout you ain't cold here”  he says draping his jacket over you
“Oh no I'm good Frank..” 
“I wasn't asking” he interrupts you while he pulls it around your shoulders and pulls you closer 
“One more” he says before leaning down and kissing you
You smile into the pecks and he does the same 
“Whatchu blushing for?” he teases you shake your head and turn to look away “Let's get you outta here” he takes hold of your hand and pulls you through the crowd 
“I know you idiots not fightin’ over no damn cards!” he comments once he finds the commotion
There's a slight silence before the room erupts in laughter and Franklin chuckles in response 
He walks you to your car you give him a hug, not wanting to let go, he gave good hugs
“Here”  you say trying to shrug off his jacket
He stops you “Hold it for me” 
“Kay” 
“Page me when you get home” 
“Kay” 
He opens the door for you “Drive safe gorgeous” he says with one last kiss to your forehead 
“Stay safe” he nods and closes the door for you

Previous part
_
You stood outside Nevermore Academy, your heart still racing from the events that had transpired. Bloodstained your clothes, a visible reminder of the shadowers still out there to haunt you again. As you both returned to Nevermore the night began to cast its eerie glow upon the ancient walls. Exhaustion clung to you as you led Wednesday to the infirmary. Her friends were there too, you know them as they came to Weathervane for coffee.
They helped you take Wednesday to the infirmary. Bianca hugged you as soon as you came out of the room. You wrapped your arms around her softly and smiled. She released herself and appreciated you “You know you’re quite strong for a normie,” she said you smiled sheepishly.
As you all waited in the quad for the doctor to finish patching up Wednesday, they all asked you about what happened in the woods. They know till the battle that happened at Jericho. Normies had run away. Shadowers did heavy damage to outcasts. You tell them about what happened when you ran into the woods. Wednesday got a hold of one of the ghostly shadower. But he stabbed her before she could do anything. When you ran to save her, the shadower kicked you and you went flying to the nearby tree. When you regained consciousness, you went to help Wednesday.
They all talk about their plans on defeating them. They all thought of leaving nevermore as soon as possible before it gets too late. Principal Weems was also there. Listening to all of them from afar. She went back to check up on Wednesday. You followed her as you saw her leaving the hallway. “I’m sorry, I wasn’t able to help Wednesday.” You said looking down when you were finally by the side of her. She stopped in her way and looked at you “You overthink too much, L/N, I saw Wednesday had a poultice on her abdomen. You’re quite a doctor” Pause, you spoke looking scared “What if they come back? What if we’re not able to defeat them?” Your voice was soft from the dark dangers the future is going to come with. “You should just focus on making her a cold brew for now” She smiled in her own beauty and patted you on your shoulder. You nodded and went to the cafeteria.
Four espresso shots. Her favorite. Her usual. You remembered every step, every flavor she likes. It's nothing special, you’re a barista, and you can remember anyone’s order. Nothing special…
When you went to the infirmary, a cold surprise was in your hand. Wednesday was already conscious. You gave her the coffee and gave her an upside-down smile. “How are you now?” you said softly. “Better, but I quite miss the pain” She gave you a smirk. You just smiled anxiously. After a long awkward pause. There was no one in the room but the nurse sitting adjacent to both of you. “Uhm…I should go back to my dorm” you said turning over to leave but a cold hand held yours. Your face went black with nothing on it but utter shock. Eyes shot up like you have seen something majestic. Wednesday could pay a buck and be sure that she had heard your heartbeat speed up. “It's not safe, you should stay here,” She said softly, never heard that tone ever from her.
Your mind was blank. No thoughts except her hand holding your wrist. You were frozen there. However, Wednesday was waiting for an answer. She let go of your wrist when there wasn’t even a breath. “o-okay” your voice cracked but before you could get more embarrassed, you ran out of the room.
Weems had advised you to sleep at Wednesday’s dorm and Enid would sleepover at Yoko’s. You agreed and went to her dorm. Enid had given you permission to sleep in her bed. While the doctors were dispatching Wednesday, you were exploring her dorm. How different it was from Enid’s. How mundane was her side and Enid’s was too bright. You stood between the both. They were both beautiful in their own way. But what caught your eye was Wednesday’s knife collection.
You touched one of the ancient scalpels on the table. “I didn’t know you too liked knives,” She said entering the room. “Well, I not just like them, I am obsessed.” You took the weathered-looking knife and turned to look at her. “Careful with that it’s a-” she was cut off by you.
“Roman scallpellus, I know” You smiled widely at her, it has been a while since that smile, but Wednesday was glad she could see your stupid smile again. You ran your soft finger to feel the rough texture. “I always wished to have one of these in my knife collection. But, my half of the wardrobe was already filled with scalpels and my dad was fed up with it. But now he is gone, who can stop me now?” you spoke too fast. Probably because of excitement. You’re being like Enid now, but Enid in her way.
It was a great time, for you and Wednesday. Did a lot today. Finally made it to Nevermore. She’s finally okay now. And bonding over knives. You went to sleep as the night was at its darkest.
_
The sun made its way to the dorm as the middle of the room was lit by the burning sunlight. You rub your eyes as you get up from bed. Wednesday is already awake. You see her typing on her typewriter. The clacking sound might be the one to break your dream. “Good morning” You yawned “Morning yes, good never,” she said sipping a little bit of her coffee beside the typewriter.
“Did you sleep well?” she asked, her voice barely above her usual dark tone. “Uh yeah, Enid really has some comfy pillows.” You yawned again. “I’ve put some clothes for you in the bathroom, you can wear whichever you like,” she said still focused on her writing. “Th-thanks”
Wearing someone else’s clothes was never a thought you had. But it was alright. You just hoped it fit you.
You tried a shirt.
Nope too short
You tried a checks sweater
Nope too tight
You tried an oversized hoodie
Finally
It was not oversized to you. But alright. You glanced at yourself in the mirror.
Hmm
You grabbed the front shoulder of the hoodie and awkwardly smelled it. Vanilla.
You quickly put on a baggy jeans knowing the rest won’t fit you well. You came out and said “So…how do I look?” you pursed your lips and waited.
She kept sitting and turned her chair to look at you. Her eyes glanced up and down, was she checking you out? “Well, not gonna lie, after suffering through your whole closet, may I say…” you lip smacked
“What?” she asked.
“Respectfully…” your hand made frantic movements.
“What is it?”
“Don’t hate me for this…”
“Speak.”
“You’re short” You pursed your lips again. She was silent. Just giving you a death stare. But what really started creeping you out was that she got up, started walking towards her knife collection, and grabbed her favorite one. “Shit,” you said and started running out of the dorm. You could swear she was behaving like Michael Myers, but just remove a chunk of height from him and there you go, you just produced Wednesday.

Sharks in the Water Part 3
Part 1 Part 2
OnsenOwner!femYuu x Azul Ashengrotto
Nsfw
Azul gets to taste the befits of business relations. Also, he gets absolutely decimated by this woman.
Gentle Femdom, role reversal, soft sub/dom undertones, cuddling, cowgirl, and Overstimulation
Tumblr media
Azul was sure that he is dying. He's legs were numb, he was tired, his vision was blurry, he was dehydrated, and he was sweaty. But above all, he was sure he regretted nothing.
The weight on his chest shifted as his bedmate rose as he mumbled something incoherent. She looked a mess, with her well-managed curves pulled taunt and sticking out at odd angles. That was Azul's fault.
Tumblr media
"Such a good boy." She sighed as she pushed herself up again as she rode his cock. "My sweet Azul."
He followed along begging for more as he ran his hands along her soft hips and thighs.
She kept his legs locked to keep his hips in check so he couldn't buck into her. She relished the sound of Azul's soft whimpers and praises as he kissed her hands as caressed his cheek. She liked this side of him the most so far.
Azul felt like he was melting inside her. Her pussy was so hot and wet Azul was desperate for more.
"I love how eager you are. So cute~This suits you Zuzu~" Yuu purred as she kissed him.
It was nothing like the polite and soft kisses they shared earlier when they entered Azul's room. Their lips slotted against each other in a sloppy open mouth kiss. Yuu playfully nipped at Azul's lower lip as he almost growled in reply. Azul wasn't usually this bold made Yuu excited.
"Mmmn! Zuzu, please look here." Yuu moaned as she sat up showing off where they were connected. "Look at how much you're stretching me around you. It's so big baby~"
Azul had a lot of self control. It was something he prided himself on, but every man has a limit. This was his.
In a second Yuu felt her back hit the bed. Azul's gentle hold on her hips tightened like a vise. It's time like this that Yuu remembers that Azul was an octopus.
This time Yuu whines when Azul pulls her onto him.
"What's wrong Mistress? I thought you loved my cock." Azul taunted as he lifted her hips to get a better angle to pound into her.
Yuu nodded as she covered her mouth to stifle the wet moans that escaped her. He felt her face burning from the obscene sounds that they were making now. Someone could probably hear Azul's hips slapping against hers, the half-finished praises they made as their brains tried to make through their sexual haze, or the wet sloshing of her pussy as Azul eagerly stirred up her insides.
"Yuu, please. I going to-" Azul moaned as he intertwined their fingers. "I'm sorry, I need to-"
Yuu knew Azul couldn't hold on much longer as he felt Azul try to pull out. Instantly Yuu locked her legs around him and pulled him back in.
"Yuu! Fuck! If you do that I'll-mmhnn!" Azul's tries fell on deaf ears as he was milked for everything he could give.
"Shh, it's okay baby. Just let go." Yuu whispered bringing a hand to her lover's hair.
Azul nestled himself into the crook of Yuu's neck as he gasped breathlessly. It was overwhelming, he had never felt anything like this.
"Good boy." Yuu murmured still lovingly stroking Azul's hair as he came down from his climax.
Azul responded with peppering Yuu's shoulder with kisses. Until those kisses turned into nips and hickeys.
"Azul?" Yuu asked.
One look in his eyes and Yuu could see the glazed-over and sex-drunk expression on his face.
"ꪑ꠸ᦓꪻ᥅ꫀᦓᦓ~♡" Azul pleaded so cutely Yuu couldn't resist" Can we please do it again?"
Yuu knew that no matter how cute he was being right now he would turn it around on her. There was something dangerous behind those eyes. Unfortunately, she didn't hesitate to agree.
Tumblr media
"Boss, the Matron is here~" Floyd called letting Yuu into his office.
Yuu was as lovely as always, dressed in her seafoam kimono and jade bracelet. Unfortunately, her face was very stern which meant Azul was in trouble.
"If this is about adding spa coupons to the new promotional drinks deal, I'm not sorry." Azul stated firmly but cautiously as Yuu crossed her arms and glared.
"No, that was fine. This is about that little stunt you pulled in my office yesterday." Yuu's face turned red at the memory.
Azul's becoming more insatiable every day. This time he requested a meeting only for him to use it to get his fill of her.
"Oh? You weren't complaining. You love it when I'm under you. Besides you hardly have room to talk after you interrupted my meeting to sit on my lap and wouldn't stop moving against me." Azul never failed to keep score and knew Yuu was just as bad as him.
"You canceled our dinner date just to meet with some poor soul who wanted a deal." Once again she began her pouty routine to get what she wants.
"I'm sorry but you know I must do what is needed. But I'm still generous and will make it up to you." Azul pulled a blue velvet box from his desk and offered it to his lover.
Yuu didn't hesitate to open it to find a lovely string of flawless pearls. A new necklace.
"No ring?" She purred playfully with a smile on her face.
"I'd like to keep you on the hook a bit longer. Built up the suspense." Azul smirked.
"Well, all is forgiven. As long as you take me to that new restaurant that opened." She said as she handed Azul the necklace and gestured to her neck.
Azul complied as he hooked the clasp aroumd her neck.
"Gladly, we deserve a break from work."

Fuck it Friday
Tagged by the kind, wonderful and talented @hippolotamus 💕🦛
Chapters 1 & 2 of Rival Firefighters 🚒 are almost done annnnnd I’ve almost finished chapter 4 as well even though I have nothing written for chapter 3, only notes and an outline haha 😅
Buck getting fired in chapter one (just like he does in the pilot episode of season 1) is kinda kicking my ass. I just feel like he goes from “yeah I’ll steal the truck for sex” to “it was wrong to steal the truck for sex” really fast … but I guess losing your job really opens your eyes and puts things into perspective.
Here’s part of the firing scene that I don’t think sucks, so enjoy!
“No, Bobby. Bobby!” He runs in front of Bobby, placing a hand on his chest to stop him from leaving. “I need this job! Look, I love this job. Don't do this to me.” Buck begs, panic beginning to set in. He can’t lose this job. He can’t. “I don't have anything else,” he says as a last ditch attempt to change Bobby’s mind, but deep down he knows it’s no use.
“I'm sorry, kid. I said you're done.”
And Bobby actually does look sorry, which makes it hurt even more.
This is really happening, he’s really just lost the one thing in his life that made sense. Being a firefighter felt right, like Buck was exactly where he was meant to be. All the other jobs over the years, Buck always knew they had a time limit, a countdown beginning as soon as he started. But not firefighting. Sure, deciding to become a firefighter was a spontaneous random decision he made while bartending in Peru, but once he was in LA and all signed up at the academy, something had settled within him and he knew this time was different.
Bobby stops at the roof’s edge and calls out to him. “Bring the ladder truck back to the station immediately and then clean out your locker.”
Buck follows silently after him, his mind going a mile a minute, the sharp sting of venomous thoughts settling in. Fuck up. Can’t even keep a job. Not good enough. Failure. You cared about this job and still managed to fuck it up. This is why you can’t have nice things, because you break them.
He doesn’t remember the climb down or the drive back to the station or even getting out of the truck and returning the keys before making his way to the locker room. It’s like his body is moving on autopilot. Buck slumps down on the bench in front of the lockers in defeat, opening his locker and pulling his duffle bag out so he can start cleaning his stuff out. He hears the door open and the shuffling of feet and turns his head to see Hen cautiously approaching him.
“I guess you heard?” He turns back to his locker and grabs his spare clothes, shoving them roughly into his duffle.

Tumblr media
“I’m still in love with you but... I needed to learn how to love myself too!”
Currently 17 chapters completed: 631.3K Words; Rated: Mature
One chapter will be posted at a time.
___________
Here's an emotionally charged snippet from Chapter 17 of one of Buck's and Eddie's conversations.
___________
As the urgency Eddie’s been feeling in his heart resurfaces, he lifts his arm and puts his hand on the back of Buck’s neck to deepen the kiss so he can hear that beautiful high-pitched noise he loves to hear.  He gets an instance reaction and as their tongues continue to tangle, they lick into each other’s mouths while moaning and gasping.
He uses his other hand to cup Buck’s cheek and they keep kissing until they need to come up for air.
After they pull back, Buck meets his eyes and he sees so much love and pure unadulterated intimacy in them that it takes his breath away.
They’re not kissing anymore but they may as well be because their lips are only millimeters apart.  That’s when he notices the look in Buck’s eyes change and to him it looks like they’re filled with worry and fear.  He’s about to ask him what’s wrong but Buck’s speaks first.
His voice is just above a whisper when he pleads, “Please, don’t ever leave me!”
“NEVER!  Always and forever, remember?”  He whispers back.
“I’ll always be yours and you’ll always be mine.”
“I love you with everything I am and with everything I have… I’ll never leave you and we're going to be together, ALWAYS AND FOREVER!”
And that’s all it takes for Buck to lean back in and kiss him again.  Except this time, it’s different because there’s a hint of trepidation in it and to him it feels like something’s going to happen that might try to take them away from each other again.
The feeling causes him to pull back, gently reposition them so that Buck’s on his back then he moves on top of him.  He settles his body so that his legs are in between Buck’s as they maintain eye contact.
He searches those ocean blue eyes he loves so much then whispers, “Tell me what’s wrong”.
“I—I don’t…”  He trails off and looks down.
What is Buck going to say next and how will Eddie respond to it? 👀

This is an EPIC LOVE STORY!
Tumblr media
Fic Summary: Months after Buck and Eddie were hit by the same lightning strike; they’re still struggling with the aftermath of it.  But before they make their love confessions, they’ll spend time getting to know themselves as individuals first. Eddie learns to enjoy the simple things in life as he participates in activities on his own and with new friends while Buck learns the rest of the 31-year-old deep dark family secret about his conception and birth. Their journey to forever is still a work in progress but once they finally admit they’re in love with each other, everything that follows their love confessions will be cataclysmic.
__________
Chapter Summaries
Chapter 1 - Eddie makes a new friend while Buck receives devastating news regarding the sperm donation he made for Connor and Kameron.
Chapter 2 - Buck does a lot of research to learn more about the abnormalities found in his red blood cells and Eddie starts a new therapy journey that’s all about him and not the traumas he’s experienced.
Chapter 3 - After more than a month, Buck and Eddie finally spend time together outside of work but it doesn’t end well and they part with a lot of uncertainty regarding their places in each other’s lives.
Chapter 4 - Eddie has a few realizations about his life which causes him to consider moving back to El Paso, TX while Buck continues to be reminded of his past which causes him to take an impromptu road trip across America.
Chapter 5 - Both Buck and Eddie have difficult conversations with their parents and Buck finally learns the truth behind the reason why his mother despised him while Eddie finally tells his mother about the way she tries to control him.
Chapter 6 - More than two weeks after Buck pushed Eddie away after suggesting they needed a break; Eddie decides to try again. Eddie’s there for Buck when he’s at his worst just like Buck was there for him when he was at his worst and he won’t let Buck give up.
Chapter 7 - After Buck’s mental breakdown, Eddie has his back the same way Buck had his when he had his own breakdown more than a year ago.  They share several vulnerable and emotionally intimate moments with one another and they begin to realize their small, sweet and caring gestures matter just as much if not more than any grand gesture ever could because these are the foundations of a long-lasting love relationship.
Chapter 8 - Buck, Eddie and Chris all have their own therapists and during their sessions, they reflect on their pasts while they’re in the present so they can prepare for their future together as a family.
Chapter 9 - Buck and Eddie are there for each other when Buck has to testify as a witness during the trial.  But by the end of it, they’ll both realize their individual and shared traumas are going to keep resurfacing until they talk about them, deal with the fact that they’re in love with one another and face the fact that they can’t live without each other.
Chapter 10 - As Buck and Eddie finally begin to confront their past traumas, they realize how much they need each other to fill in the gaps of their memories.  Additionally, the universe screams at them for what appears to be the one hundredth time so Buck can realize he doesn’t have to ‘find it’ because he already ‘made it’ and Eddie’s reminded tomorrow isn’t promised and he doesn’t have to die alone if he doesn’t want to.
Chapter 11 - A “virga” or dry thunderstorm is in the forecast but once the rain starts, the thunderstorm happening outside won’t be able to match the storm brewing inside between Buck and Eddie.  It’s the universe’s final scream and when the tumultuous winds begin to blow, they’ll have one last chance to hold onto everything they’ve built over the last six years or they’ll lose it all forever.
Chapter 12 - Buck and Eddie have always shared a deep physical attraction and an emotional intimacy that’s unmatched but now that they’re in a relationship, they’re learning how to navigate the romantic intimacy they’ve been waiting for six years to explore. The love they have for each other is a once in a lifetime, soulmate, love of their lives type of love that transcends space and time.
Chapter 13 - While navigating the newness of their romantic relationship, Buck and Eddie take advantage of every moment they spend together. As their individual lives, people from their pasts, time constraints and the possibility of losing each other again make attempts to interrupt and interfere with their journey to forever, they love, care for, support and hold onto each other even tighter to withstand it all.
Chapter 14 - Buck and Eddie can see the lights at the end of the tunnels regarding the results of Buck’s Cancer Screening along with everything else they’re dealing with. But are the lights they see exits to the tunnels or are they headlights on different runaway trains that are speeding towards them in an effort to interrupt their forever?
Chapter 15 - Buck and Eddie have known they were exactly who the other one wanted in a partner since they met six years ago when they agreed to have each other’s backs. They’re in a romantic relationship, they’re both preparing to ask the other one to spend forever with them and by the end of the seventh week into their relationship, together they will plan their most important and greatest adventure for their future.
Chapter 16 - As Buck and Eddie begin to prepare for their marriage ceremony that will take place in Rome, Italy in December 2023, they start planning their first international adventure as a romantic couple. Even though Chris is still the only person they’ve told about their relationship, several people who know them have already witnessed the love they share and as the days continue, others will witness it too.
Chapter 17 - As Buck and Eddie get closer to departing Los Angeles for their international adventure, a moment in time will remind them; life is fragile, tomorrow isn’t promised and every second of everyday should be cherished because everything can change in an instant. The result of that realization will cause them to hold onto each other even more.
Chapter 18 - Will be posted soon.

Another Sleepless Night
Lucyna Kushinada, better known by her friends as Lucy, stared out her apartment window. Her friends... Assuming anyone else survived that night. Everything was already fucked from the start, with her getting kidnapped and held hostage while the crew charged headfirst into the shitstorm of Arasaka gunfire.
She remembered reading the news report about the "violent gangers who tried to storm Arasaka tower" and manged to be "summarily punished as to be expected." She'd read every news outlet she could on her way to the moon. Hoping, praying that someone found something that the others didn't and somebody survived.
But no, that's not what she found. They all said the same thing with different words. Rebecca is dead. David is dead. Days later, they found Kiwi dead outside a Buck-a-Slice in Arroyo. Much as she was a backstabbing and cold-hearted bitch, a part of her missed her.
But not as much as she missed David. On the moon, she swore she saw him jumping around on the moon, just like he did before. Her throat felt dry, so she left to grab a drink. Something hard enough to make her regret. But she couldn't forget.
Never. Because every day, she regretted not ripping off her helmet and dancing with him on the moon.
(NEFFEX - Careless)
===============================
Jaune Wants to F Pyrrha
People said a lot of things about Pyrrha Nikos. Some said she tall, beautiful, and perfect in every way. Some said she was Remnant's light of hope against the dark tides of the Grimm. That none could ever defeat the aptly named Invincible Girl.
And yet there was surprisingly little said about her in any negative way. Pyrrha never made any statements of her being perfect, but public response was she was being modest. The first negative thing anyone ever said about her was during her first few weeks of Beacon Academy, when her teammate, Nora Valkyrie, said she "apologized way, way, waaay too much" and "was too nice for her own good". Since then, she had been small attempts to remedy these issues, but this seemed to only fuel the already roaring flames of the perfectionist ideal people made of her. It seemed no matter what she did, she would always be perfect.
Until one day, she met a young man about her age. Her team leader, Jaune Arc, who was almost her exact opposite in every way. Nobody said a nice thing about him since his arrival, save for the few friends he'd made, and even then, they had much to say about him.
Jaune was weak, scraggly, and was inept at combat when he began attending. She could personally attest to his lacking qualities when he not only didn't have his aura unlocked, but he didn't know what aura was! But she knew better than to judge a book by it's cover and decided on the day of her initiation that he would be her partner.
Was it selfish to pick and choose who she wanted to team up with? Maybe, but it worked out in the end. Where Jaune lacked in combat strength, he made up for it in his tactical mindset, leading their team to victory. One could say he was the brains of the outfit, though his low test scores would argue that point.
Over time, though, his lacking skill became more and more evident, so he asked Pyrrha to train him. This leads us to now, on the rooftop above their dorm, where they hold their near nightly sparring matches. They had finished a mock match, sitting next to each other, hands so tantalizingly close and yet so painfully distant. He looked to her and she looked to him.
Jaune gazed into Pyrrha's eyes, and she into his. The blue sky overhead met green hills below, and she couldn't help but admire the way he looked at her. She could see... No, she could feel love and adoration glowing from him. Her heart pounded as he spoke to her.
"Pyrrha, I... I wanna ask you something." Pyrrha swallowed a lump in her throat. "And... And if you don't want to, I'd understand and respect your decision."
It was at this moment she realized where they were. They were alone, isolated from their friends, on the rooftop of the school with a night sky filled with gleaming stars and a moon nearly whole. This was a night she'd always dreamed of.
"Anything, Jaune." She answered.
"I... I wanna fight you!"
"...Come again?" She didn't hear that wrong, did she?
"I want to fight you." Jaune said, with more confidence this time.
"I... I sorr-" She stopped herself. "I mean, excuse me, but I don't understand what you mean. Didn't we finish sparring?"
"Yeah, we did, but," he looked up, to the stars that glittered high, "but I meant I want to fight you for real one day. I want to get so good, you don't have to hold back against me when we do spar."
She wouldn't argue with his statement, considering nothing he said could be seen as a lie. She was leagues above him with her years of athletic and competitive training, so of course she would have to hold back when the two sparred. A kindness she didn't often share with others, or ever in the case of the resident bully, Cardin Winchester.
"Do... Do you really mean that?" Pyrrha asked. "Do you really want to fight me?"
"Pyrrha, if I could fight you on your level, and not totally suck, I think I'd be the happiest guy who ever lived."
Giving a puff instead of a laugh, she couldn't stop smiling at him. She leaned against him, her pinkie touching his. Then, his hand slid over hers, and she felt her heart nearly explode with joy. She gave a soft sigh.
"One day... I want to fight you, too."

**********************************************
The Napping Bounty Hunter
Zora Salazar was a lot of things.
First off, she hates epithets and whatever criminals she hunts down using them gets an extra crack in the jaw. Two of 'em if they're really going on and on about how their supposed "magic superpower" automatically means they win.
Second, she herself is Inscribed, and her epithet was, is, and will be broken. Helped make her bounty hunting easier, sure, but she rarely used when she was tracking. Not unless someone gives her a reason, like ticking her off in a way similar to the previous paragraph. Still, her epithet was definitely the strongest she'd seen yet.
Third, she's a bit of a romantic. Not exactly like the loved-dovey, kissy face, "I'd die for you" kinda romantic. More of a "two men enter, one man leaves, and they're both best friends, and they're giving it their all and also there's a sunset shining behind them" sort of romantic. She loved the thrill of the fight, the sweat that beads down from giving your all, and chase and satisfaction of reaching the top.
Fourth, she really loves-
"HEY!" A voice belowed.
Zora tapped her hat up from her comfy lie down against the tree. And she JUST got comfy.
The bellowing came from a familiar face, but not one she could name. Some guy from a gang she busted a few days ago. She would've brought him in, but he was already running out the back door when she zeroed in on his boss.
"You n' me got a score to settle!"
"No, we don't." Zora put her hat back on her face. Great, now she has to get comfy again.
"Yes, we do!"
"Nuh-uh."
"WHAT YOU MEAN NUH-UH?!"
"I mean. Nuh. Uh." She grumbled loudly. "Means whatever beef you got with me goes to a different butcher. Do I look like a butcher?"
"She looks like a cowboy." A small voice said behind annoying big guy.
"Nah, I'd say she's more of a desperado." Another voice said.
"You only know that word because you watched one western movie!"
"And it was a good one!"
Maybe a movie would would help her sleep. If she was real quiet, she could sneak inside and take a nap in a comfier seat than this tree. I mean, the tree was comfy if you got in the right spot, but-
"HEY! QUIT STARIN' AT THE SKY!" He huffed. "You're being so rude! We drove all the way out here in my brand new car just so we could make you pay for putting our boss in jail!"
"Listen," Zora said after letting out a deep breath, "I'm willin to let this go for interruptin my nap. So get back in your car while you still can."
"Oh, I don't think so!" Suddenly, Zora felt a hand grab her by her poncho. Of course this loudmouth had an epithet. All loudmouths do. "I'm gonna-"
"Let go."
"Wha?"
Zora glared at him with cold, baneful eyes. "LET GO, OR ELSE."
"Or else what?" He sneered. Oh, she was so hoping he'd say that.
With a grin and an iron grip, she squeezed his hand. Slowly, it started to bulge before shrinking, smaller and smaller until all that was left was emaciated, bony hand. With a groan, he let go, wheezing as he stared at his wizened fingers.
"Wh... Wha dih you do to muh bodeh..." Losing his teeth didn't make him easier to understand, but Zora was well versed in gum linguistics.
"Or else." She said, turning away. "Enjoy the walk home, old man."
"Uh, but we drove."
"I know." Faster than anyone else could react, she whipped out her gun and fired a bullet into the engine of the car. Rust creeps as paint peels, the car slowly sinking to the ground as it's tires deflated. The glass of the car slipped free, shattering as it fell inside. "But you're walkin' now."

YOU WERE LIGHTING FLARES [1.3K | alternate universe| bmtb fic] {ao3}
a/n: she's hereee everybody!! i know we are generally losing our collective shit over promo and cast content-- but let me take you to another universe for just a moment. for @buddieau i know thigs didnt go as planned really, but without signing up for this i wouldnt have finished this and i love you both so much <3 both titles are from waking up slow by gabrielle aplin. this will be about 7 chapters i believe, all about this length each capturing a different moment in their relationship in this universe. enjoy <3
CHAPTER ONE: I COULD BE YOUR FRIEND Buck wasn’t one to often get deeply invested in their patients. He would connect with them deeply, leaving him emotionally wrought, but not in a way that was investment. 
Bobby had told him that their jobs stopped at the glass doors. Athena chewing him out. But it just had been something about how tiny the baby had been. Is. He had cradled her all the way to the hospital, feeling some sort of kindred spirit in her. 
He understands why they don’t go past the glass doors. He really does. There’s just something aching. 
“You know, I  have a friend up in the NICU. I could ask him about her?” Maddie offers over the takeout containers that Buck brought to the hospital with him after his shift. 
Buck just shrugs as he sips his coffee, “I don’t know Mads, Bobby made it pretty clear-“ 
“Well, what if you were to happen to be here, and happen on the floor… it’s 4 by the way," she smiles as her pager beeps and she takes a last gulp of coffee before taking off back to the ED, calling “See ya at home Ev!” Before she’s gone. And Buck is alone in the nurse break room. He pushes his last few bites of breakfast around in the container before eating them and throwing everything away and leaving the room, weighing the idea in his head. 
He stands in front of the bank of elevators trying to decide if he wants to go up or down. With a rush he pushes the up button before he can change his mind for a tenth time. 
He carefully follows the arrows and signs pointing him toward the NICU. He feels far too big and clumsy to be in this wing. Where fragile beings are just learning what it’s like to be in the world. Surrounded by such innocence. He didn’t quite fit in with his raucous and reckless life. 
He's finally standing in front of the window, carefully looking to see if he can see her. 
His eyes land on her in the incubator, and she seems even tinier than he remembers, even though it was only a few hours ago really. An eternity, and twice her lifetime for her and a blink of an eye for him. she has a hat now which settles something within the aching, but the myriad of wires and tubes add a new sense of worry. he’s never felt like this before. 
He just watches her chest rise and fall. Hands shoved in his jeans pockets. He still feels out of place, being six foot two, and all muscle. But there is a part of him that is truly and fully invested in everything about her. Wants to make sure that she finds her people, that she’s happy and loved. That she has someone to love her like Maddie loved him. 
The nurse comes by to check her vitals and Buck watches him closely, knowing the nurse can do his job but wants to see if he can read his expression as he checks her over. He catches Buck watching and after he makes some final notes on her chart, he exits the room and comes face to face with Buck. 
His arms are crossed, the sleeves of his soft gray shirt pushed up his forearms underneath his light purple scrub top. The tiny stethoscope hanging around his neck, a tiny monkey holding tight.
“Are you her father?” he questions, skepticism already lacing every word. 
And Buck nearly jumps out of his skin even though he saw the other man coming and even suspected that he woul be spoken to. That question wasn’t what he expected. The notion of it even, “Oh god no! I- I’m just-“ 
The nurse’s right eyebrow starts expertly climbing his brow as Buck stumbles.  
“I'm um, I'm a firefighter-'' he shucks the left side of his jacket a little to reveal the emblem, “I’m on the team that brought her in yesterday?” Buck tries, “I’m the one who held her all the way here.” 
The nurse softens, “And my sister, she- she’s the one who said it would be okay for me to come by- Maddie, she’s a nurse down in the ED-  I’ll leave if it’s not, I have pretty much gotten what I came for anyway, I am so sorry.” Buck rambles, fidgeting and looking over his shoulder. 
The nurse starts smiling, and Buck had never seen anything like it. 
“You’re Evan!” There’s a sparkle in his eye that could rival stars in rural Montana. 
A blush creeps across his cheeks, “You know Maddie,” he states, ducking his head and digging a toe into the linoleum. 
“I'm Eddie by the way, I'm guessing she’s never mentioned me by name?” 
“No,” he shakes his head, but then snaps his fingers, “but she did mention a NICU nurse friend!” 
Eddie laughs again resting his hands on his hips casually. 
“She’s tried to convince me to let her give me her cute firefighter brother’s number, I don’t know how many times.” 
“You can have it if you want,” Buck blurts, then covers his mouth, “Oh my god I’m sorry.” 
“It's okay.” Eddie runs a hand over the back of his neck, “You can have it. I just- I’m not ready to date yet?” 
“You can call me Buck by the way, Maddie’s the only one that calls me Evan. Well she does and my parents but-“ 
“We don’t talk about the parents,” Eddie says in the same tone that Maddie does and Buck laughs. It all feels like a breath of fresh air after the shift he had. 
It feels like Eddie is waiting for Buck to deny him something because of what he said, but Buck just takes his phone from his back pocket, opens a new contact and holds it out to him. Eddie smiles a little as he carefully takes it and enters the number. 
“Text me so I have yours okay? I gotta get back in there.” 
“I will. Bye!” 
“Bye Evan.” 
He looks into the nursery again just to make sure her chest is still rising and falling steadily and waves at Eddie one more time before rocking on his heels, and smiling like an idiot all the way to the elevators. 
Maddie is barely in the door before Buck launches into a rant, “Maddie how could you not tell me you’re “NICU nurse friend” is possibly the hottest man I  have ever seen but you have also offered him my number, on more than one occasion, unbeknownst to me. You had ulterior motives!” 
“So I see you met Eddie,” she says, dropping her bag on the floor and toeing off her shoes. “He needed it to be on his terms, or at least think it was.” 
“Yeah, he uh mentioned not being ready to date, what’s that all about?” 
“Not my story to tell. but I hear you have his  number so you can ask him yourself.” she just grins and opens the fridge to grab a glass of juice before she crawls into bed. 
Buck is laying in bed staring at the ceiling when his phone buzzes;
From: Eddie 🩺 Hi. 
A blush creeps across his cheeks and he smiles. He quickly schools himself because he just met the man. But there had been something about him that made Buck want to crawl into a warm bubble and live there with him.
To : eddie 🩺
shouldn’t you be sleeping 🤨
From : eddie 🩺
Couldn’t you say the same for yourself?
To: eddie 🩺
Oh no
R u someone that like uses actual grammar while texting
From: Eddie 🩺

To: Eddie 🩺

To: Eddie 🩺
Oh. my. God. 🙄
good night

Hiiii 💕💕💕
For the fic never have I ever:
1) have you ever written anything about buddie and sleeping (like an insomnia fic, nightmares, cuddling and falling asleep, etc)?
2) have you ever written anything about buddie and chronic pain?
3.) have you ever written anything about buddie and hurt/comfort? What about angst?
4) have you ever written any sort of buddie AU?
-❤️🪐
Hey, hii!
(Me, holy shit, someone actually sent me an ask? Stay cool, stay cool, it’s cool everyone!)
(Also me, oh shit, I did not realise that this means I have to remember what I’ve written. Hmm. This may have been a mistake, I have the worst memory, I really do. Goes and checks out own ao3 profile for the answers…)
Ok here we go.
Nightmares. Oh hey look at that! I’ve actually got a fic with the word in its title, who knew! A spell for nightmares & fractured hearts is a short and fluffy lil fic about Buck helping Chris heal after the tsunami, and then Chris (and Eddie) helping Buck do the same. And because I’m allergic to fluff, I followed it up with part 2 in that series being long, whumpy and angsty. As for falling asleep, cuddling or insomnia, I can’t find anything in my quick search but I think I’ve written all of those in several of my fics, just not as a major part of the plot, more as part of the comfort part after the hurt usually.
Similar answer for chronic pain, I think? I’ve referenced it here and there in various fics but haven’t written on just about that. It’s a little bit too close to home for me, my dad has had 3 hip replacements (first because of major injury as a firefighter when I was 10, he fell through 3 floors in a burning building) so having lived with someone experiencing it, it doesn’t really appeal to me to write.
Buddie and hurt/comfort – um. Pretty much every single one of my Buddie fics?! I filtered my works with that tag and got 30 hits, so…. Here’s one I’m posting right now that I’m kinda proud of Pictures of You, in which Abuela dies post season 6, Eddie hurts and Buck comforts.
Buddie and angst – refer to above answer lol. If I had to choose a favourite, I think I’d choose empty, broken, lonely, hoping, my beloved presumed dead fic where Buck and Christopher are thought to have perished when Buck’s apartment building burns down and Eddie goes through several chapters of angst. It’s unrelenting really, poor guy. 4. Buddie AU – again, I’ve got several depending on your definition.
If you want a truly Alternate Universe, try I Once Was Lost. It’s a Peter Pan fusion where Buck is Peter, Eddie is Wendy Darling and almost all of the other characters feature in Neverland too. It covers from their childhood up until the end of season 5 and I have a particular soft spot in my heart for it.
If you prefer Canon Divergence, try There Walks Darkness. It’s basically What If Maddie didn’t kill Doug and he was arrested instead – and was one of the prisoners who took Buck and Eddie hostage in season 5? It features a lot of hurt Buck, Buck whump, worried Eddie and the 118, some of my favourite tropes to write.
And lastly, if you prefer supernatural AU, try Returned for a shorter read, which perhaps unsurprisingly is based on the movie and tv show… Returned.
Which reminds me of another supernatural AU that I can’t believe I forgot because I adore it! Trust Me, Darlin’ is my first collab, with the lovely @hella-cious! It's a Supernatural / 911 crossover in which Buck runs into an old hook up (Dean Winchester ofc) at a scene in LA and is promptly kidnapped before the 118’s eyes. Lots of angst and whump in this one and while there is Buck/Dean because lets face it, those two are far too hot not to ship together, it ends in Buddie (and Destiel too, for SPN fans!)
So, wow. There you go. This was a lot longer than I expected it to be but then I’ve never done one of these before. Thanks for being my first ask @steadfastsaturnsrings !!

WIP Word Search Game
Thank you @steadfastsaturnsrings @theotherbuckley @jamespearce9-1-1 for tagging me!
RULES: use this generator to generate three random words (or however many you'd like to do) and share the lines where they show up in your WIPs!
The words I got:
crossing
building
ghost
Okay, so of the two WIPs I have rn, Precious and Fragile Things and Things We're All Too Young to Know, the latter is so long I've divided it into multiple Google Docs. So I'm only using the current Google Doc for this.
Anyway, here we go.
Crossing - (appeared one time in Things We're All Too Young To Know in a post-canon scene I've written and am very excited about eventually getting to.)
-
“Wait,” Buck halts before crossing through the door. “E-Eddie, we can take things slow.” 
Eddie raises an eyebrow. “Is changing into dry clothes too quick?” 
“Oh. Ha.” Buck’s face flushes. “Sorry.”
-
Building - (appeared once in Precious and Fragile Things, and TWELVE times in Things We're All Too Young to Know, so I've chosen just one)
1.
Buck follows as Eddie more or less power-walks across the parking lot and into the building. He blows through the front foyer like a stormcloud, throwing the door to the administration office open and walking right up to the secretary; a middle aged woman with the name Melissa Applebee, written on her desk nameplate. 
2.
Eddie’s spent a lot of time running into burning buildings; less time choosing not to evacuate them. That’s more Buck’s thing.
Ghost - (appeared three times in Things We're All too Young to Know)
1.
“Then I think he’ll forgive you, Eddie. He forgave me. You did, too. Part of being a team, remember?”
“I think I need help,” Eddie says, ghost quiet. 
2.
He feels the phantom bullet wounds in his shoulder, leg, and arm, the phantom water in his lungs, as he swings his legs over the side of the couch and slowly lifts himself upright. He feels phantom agony, like a ghost possessing his muscle tissue.
3.
Buck grabs himself a beer and moves out onto his balcony. He leans against the railing and watches the light get lower over the city. 
He thinks. 
If this isn’t working for him, if this isn’t helping him or making him happy, why does he do it? Well, he knows why. A lifetime of feeling lonely, of feeling like he’s a ghost drifting through life, half-visible, with a deep and unsatiated yearning to erase that hurt.

Fic Author Self-Rec Meme
@doggernaut tagged me on this, thanks for the tag. Okay, first off, go and read all of her stuff. You can start with these, but really, read all of them. Okay, was there a minimum? Maximum? Hmm... I'm going to follow her lead and pick five. I mean, do I pick my five favorite? Five most popular? Um... Okay, I'll do three OMGCP that I really like, and will throw in a couple from other fandoms.
OMGCP - I have over 200 Check, Please! fics, so it was hard to pick just three.
Blessing in Disguise - Zimbits I'm starting with this one, because it's my latest Zimbits fic and I was really happy with how it turned out, but pretty bummed by the number of hits. It was part of a OMGCP AU event, and the prompt was "AU where Jack didn't go to Samwell, but has a younger sister who does. She befriends Bitty and SMH, and Jack ends up hanging out with them when he visits her." I changed it in that Jack went to Samwell but graduated the semester before Bitty or his sister began. There's a lot of longing and missed connections, but don't worry, they finally get it together.
Weekender - Zimbits I think this is my longest fic? Um, I think so. I wrote most of this fic while I was in another country traveling for work. It was also the fastest fic that came to me. It was over 30K words and I wrote it in less than a month by the seat of my pants. Jack and Bitty meet at Falcs Fest. This fic was inspired by the time I went to Fan Expo Canada. It got me thinking, what would happen if you connected with a famous someone you met at a fan expo? Here's what happens.
Bits of Heaven - Zimbits Okay, I couldn't make up my mind between Bits of Heaven or All the Best Parts, but I went with the former. Here we meet a 40-something Jack and Bitty who get a second chance at love. Friends to lovers, with septuagenarian Bad Bob (and teenaged Frogs) acting as cupid. I love second chance at love stories, and oh! It features beautiful artwork by @ibakesouffles
Other Fandoms:
Glenn Miller and Blood: Or How to Court Someone in the 21st Century - Sam/Bucky This took off in a way I didn't expect. I wrote it after watching The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Did I ever ship them? Nope. Did I after watching the show? Heck yeah. I imagined how awkward dating would be for Buck. Then I imagined HOW AWKWARD it would be for him to realize he was in love with Sam---and I just went for it. It's fluff, just like a lot of fluff, okay? But it was fun!
Gauge Your Interest - Hannigram I wrote this one in 2016, so I don't really remember my thought process behind this one other than wouldn't be it funny if Hannibal thought Will was cheating on him, but instead Will was doing something completely innocent (and sweet)? Hannigram crack, for realsies.
