a concept: the scene where buck and eddie get together as a direct parallel to the coming out scene. they're talking in eddie's kitchen, the conversation gets a little charged; they're trading heated looks; they kinda know where this is going but they're too afraid to say it. and then buck says, "i should probably go." and eddie nods and says quietly, "okay." and buck is halfway to the door, his hand on the knob—eddie is leaning against the fridge, watching him with wide eyes—there's a close up shot of buck taking in a deep, shuddering breath, scrunching his eyes shut—and then he's whirling around, striding back over to edde and grabs his face with both his hands and just kisses him. and he pulls away almost immediately and they both stare at each other for a moment, their chests heaving, neither of them daring to say anything—but now it's eddie's turn and his hands are in buck's hair and he pulls him back in and they just kiss and kiss and kiss against the fridge in the dying afternoon light.

Q: When you first met that character, and you seemed a little standoffish and maybe threatened, and not a big fan. Do you think it's because deep down you had these... something there brewing, but you didn't know what it was?

[Evan Buckley voice] I post rainbows on my instagram every Pride

#i hope the entire 118 finds out about this and they never let it go. the way the fandom is never gonna let it go.

[captain-hen]

your multishipping post is so real. how is it that their arguments are always "this part of the fandom is so young", "this is probably their first fandom" (or the worst one i've seen "they're too puritan for it")... like no, i'm a fandom old who multiship in a lot of shows, i'm just not into this specific pairing 🤷🏼‍♀️

(the worst thing is that i don't even /hate/ them, i watch their scenes like i watched his scenes with his other LI -not excited about them but also not disinterested because it's part of his story-, and when i didn't post about him and his other LI that was okay but now it means i don't know how to fandom lol)

it's literally SO odd!! no one was saying this about, like bucktalia or even bucktaylor lmao. i need everyone to get a grip real quick because this is just very bizarre behavior.

#neethu answers #anon #fandom discourse #also don't talk to me about multishipping unless you've been in the trenches (liking obscure femslash ships that no one else cared about) #y'all have it sooo easy with buck/tommy they're actually CANON

[captain-hen]

there’s no way that hen wouldn’t have been hounding the boys to make sure they were at the venue on time with their tuxes and everything!!! this is poor wedding planning!!

scream. yeah. and they should have known better than to leave chim in the charge of tweedle dumb and dumber 😭 who authorized all of this 😭

like i am willing to suspend my disbelief for a lot of things in 911 but also having been a bridesmaid 3 times in the past 2 years and another wedding coming up, i'm like how was no one texting chimney or buck or something during the day before the wedding to make sure they were on schedule. where was the communication 😭 (and also yes who thought that was a good idea to do it the night before the wedding).

you're telling me maddie buckley didn't grab buck by his collar the day before the wedding and order him to bring chimney to the wedding venue bright and early on pain of death?? you're telling me hen wasn't under strict orders to remain in contact with buck and eddie at all times?? sounds fake sorry

"if you don't care about buck/tommy it means you have something against multishipping" how about we all go outside and breathe in some fresh air and touch grass doesn't that sound nice

#i love it when fandom invents problems that don't exist it's hilarious #neethu speaks

[captain-hen]

the fic was honestly chef's kiss....10/10 characterization and plot!!

thank you so much 💖🤧

#neethu answers #anon #lovely people in my inbox

[captain-hen]

i do feel like people are fooling themselves a little if they think buck and eddie getting other permanent canon love interests wouldn't affect the eddie-chris-buck family unit as we see it on screen now. if only because there are only so many minutes in the show.

not sure where this is coming from but yeah lmao. unless they're given the marisol treatment where they're ignored 90% of the time until they're necessary for the Plot, it absolutely will affect the canon buck-chris-eddie dynamic since there's still 5 other main characters and their respective families to deal with.

#neethu answers #anon #sorry if you sent an ask (that isn't discourse) and i didn't reply btw my inbox is just overflowing atm

Back in the 70's my uncle had his bachelor party the night before and almost passed out at the alter. He had to spend most of the ceremony sitting in a chair. 😅

if i were the bride in this scenario would straight-up commit a murder i think so mad respect to your aunt for (i assume) keeping her cool 😂

#neethu answers #anon

[captain-hen]

i know it's obviously been done for the Plot but why tf did they decide it was a good idea to have the bachelor party the NIGHT before the wedding why didn't anyone stop them asjdkkdd

“We’re gonna go find some hot chicks” <- Evan Buckley, super casually, when his best friend (whom he’s in love with) shows up with his current girlfriend at the restaurant at which he’s currently on a date with a man

#no wonder tommy left his ass on the sidewalk

idk if you're still writing the post-cemetry scene fic with pining eddie (idk if i'm describing it right) but i would love to hear more about it/see a snippet or too if you feel so inclined 👀

someone asking about angsty pining fic in the month of our lord april 2024? this was such a lovely surprise 😭 i'm gonna be honest with u anon i'm likely not going to publish 911 fic again BUT because you asked so nicely i'll give you a few older snippets from my draft:

Eddie sighs, breaking the stare. “You have a key, you know,” he says finally. “Feel free to come join me whenever you want.” He turns on his heel and walks back inside to finish his goddamn brownies, leaving Buck standing in the doorway.  It’s silent for a few minutes. He’s in the middle of measuring a tablespoon of espresso powder when Buck steps into the kitchen and shuts the door behind him. Eddie feels the weight of Buck’s gaze on him as he folds the powder into his brownie mixture, but he doesn’t turn to meet his eye until Buck speaks.  “Is that…” Buck falters. He clears his throat. “Is that my recipe?”  “Yeah,” Eddie says gruffly. “Chris asked me to make it. Said he wanted to share it with his friends when they come over tomorrow for their playdate.”  Buck snorts. “Man, you can’t call it that. Chris nearly bit my head off last time I tried. Kept reminding me that ‘playdates are for kids, Buck,’ and that he’s not a kid anymore.”  Buck emphasizes that last bit with air quotes, and Eddie can’t help but grin at that. But his smile fades instantly, remembering the somber look on Buck’s face when he’d opened the door. He highly doubts that Buck came over just to commiserate about the trials and tribulations of watching Christopher grow up.  Eddie bites the bullet. “Why are you here, Buck?”  Buck shifts nervously. He shrugs and looks away from Eddie. “I — I don’t know what to say. I don’t know how to answer that. You’ve never asked me that before.”  Eddie scrubs at his face. “I've never had to ask you that, Buck. Things are different now. You’ve been busy.” 

+

“Wow,” Buck says acidly, all traces of heartbreak gone. “I’ve never heard that one before.”  Eddie frowns. “What?”  “Really, Eddie?” Buck’s voice cracks on the last syllable. He shakes his head. “Unbelievable. Just — unbelievable.” “Buck — what are you talking about?”  “We were just trying to protect you, Evan," Buck mocks. "You were never supposed to find out. We kept it from you because we love you. Any of that sound familiar to you?” Eddie’s breath hitches on the word love, because he doesn’t know, he can’t know, but then —  Oh.  Fuck.

+

Buck: We’ll get through this just like everything else. I promise. It’ll be okay.  Buck: Eddie, did you eat enough today? Should I come by and bring you some food? Buck: You know you’re still my best friend, right? That’s never going to change, Eddie. Never.  He reacts with a thumbs up or a tap-back heart on most of the messages, too exhausted to do anything else. He replies with a thumbs down to the message about food, certain that he wouldn’t be able to handle seeing Buck so soon. He knows he’ll have to face him in person eventually, but his tired, broken heart just wants to postpone it as much as he can.  The last one, though, is a balm that both soothes and agitates Eddie’s burning, aching heart, and he taps out a brief, Thank you, you too. Always, in response. It feels like too much and not enough all at once, and Eddie wishes once again that he was a little better at resisting Buck, that he didn’t feel that need to reply to his every message lest Buck worry even more about him. The only one he actually acknowledges is a message that comes in at 2:43 AM on Sunday. As he opens the message, Eddie absentmindedly wonders if Buck’s having a hard time falling asleep for the same reason as him. Probably.  It’s a link to a new exhibit at the Griffith Observatory, accompanied by a text that reads: Can I take Christopher here next weekend? Eddie squeezes back tears as he replies with a brief, Of course, and puts his phone down, letting the darkness swallow him again. 

+

Hen beats him to it. “What happened, Buck? I thought you really liked her. Weren’t you planning to introduce her to Maddie and Chimney next week?”  “Not anymore,” Buck mutters. “I broke up with her.”  “What?” Eddie snaps head snaps up. “Why?”  Buck doesn’t meet his gaze, his lip quivering. The rest of their team is watching them, eyes darting back and forth, and Buck blinks hesitantly before swallowing down a sip of coffee. He wipes the cream off of his upper lip and looks Eddie in the eye.  “You know why,” Buck whispers. 

#rae i know you said you don't want to publish it and i respect that but have you also considered that i need this like i need air
