I'm excited to finish writing Chapter 27 because at the end of Chapter 26, while Buck was sleeping, he made a sound that Eddie hadn't heard before. He immediately sat up in bed and called Eddie's name but he was in a daze and to Eddie, he appeared to be still dreaming but since his eyes were open, he started talking to him to get his attention.
They spent the majority of the day before in the hospital after Buck collapsed in Eddie's arms and suffered a bradycardia event of epic proportions. He was unconscious and unresponsive after he received a package that was delivered to the firehouse while they were in Europe. Once he opened it and read the letter, he reached the part where it stated someone died and it reminded him of his own death and it triggered the event.
He had an MRI, EKG and an ultrasound to confirm what prompted the two events. After the results were returned, Dr. Salazar discharged him with a Holter monitor that he has to wear for 48-hours so she can check to make sure his heart hasn't suffered any long-term effects from the lightning strike. Currently, they're home alone since Chris is still at a sleepover.

Here's a snippet from Chapter 27 of Eddie trying to console his husband after he woke up in a state of sheer horrifying terror.
___________
The sounds escaping Buck’s lips through his cries are filled with pain and suffering and Eddie recognizes it because he remembers it’s how he sounded when he started destroying every piece of furniture in his bedroom with a baseball bat almost two years ago.
“I love you.”  Eddie admits.  Then he starts speaking Italian.  “Ti amo, amore mio.”  [“I love you, my love.”]
“ED—DIE?  PLEASE DON’T—DON’T LET GO!  OK?”
“NEVER AMORE MIO!  I’LL NEVER LET GO OF YOU BECAUSE YOU’RE MY HEART, YOU’RE MY SOUL, YOU’RE MY EVERY—THING!”
As he continues holding on to his husband, he comforts him as they cry about the fact that Buck died last year.  He tries to compose himself several times but the weight and the magnitude of seeing Buck hanging from the aerial is a picture he can’t get out of his mind.  He reminds himself that they both can’t lose it because one of them needs to be coherent just in case Buck becomes unresponsive again like he did while they were at the hospital yesterday.
Even through their brokenness, he keeps talking to his husband.
“You’re alive my love.”
“You’re in the present with me and it’s January 3, 2024.”
“It’s been almost ten months since that night but you’re here with me and I’ll never let you go.”
“We’re going to die on the same day at the same time in 50 or 60 years from now.”
Buck’s cries are getting louder as he continues to feel every ounce of grief he’s been avoiding since last year.  And when his Holter monitor starts beeping, Eddie knows that sound means one of two things, either Buck’s heart is beating too fast or too slow.  Neither option is good because they’re both detrimental and they can both lead to Buck’s death if they aren’t resolved quickly.  If it’s beating too slowly again, he’s experiencing another bradycardia event and if it drops below 30 bpm, his heart could stop beating and that will lead to him dying.  If his heart is beating too fast, then he’s experiencing a tachycardia event which means he could have a heart attack if it’s not lowered to a level of 100 bpm.
In a soft and calm but stern voice, he calls, “Evan, my love! Can you hear me?”
He’s still crying but he nods his head while it’s lying on top of Eddie’s shoulder.
With the alarm still blaring, he says, “Amore mio, I need you to you to listen to me.  We have to get you calm so your heart rate will stabilize.”
Buck’s trying, he really is but he still feels that tug at the back of his head trying to take him under but he’s fighting to stay alert so he can remain responsive and conscious.
“Shh... my love.  I need you to listen to me and I also need you to breathe with me too.  Can you still hear me?”
He opens his mouth and he tries to speak but it takes several seconds for him to inhale enough air into his lungs so can respond.
Eddie doesn’t let go he just keeps holding onto him with their chests pressed together.
Is Buck going to suffer another bradycardia event? 👀
Or could he suffer from tachycardia this time? 🤷🏽‍♀️
___________
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 - As Buck, Eddie and Chris prepare for family gatherings before and during the Thanksgiving holiday, the “Santa Ana Winds” start to blow and all sorts of expected and unexpected familial drama ensues.
Chapter 19 - As Buck and Eddie get closer to their wedding day, the universe begins to align everything so that some of their parent and children's relationships are strengthened while others come to an abrupt end.
Chapter 20 - With only 14 days remaining until Buck, Eddie and Chris depart Los Angeles, CA traveling to Rome, Italy, for their first family adventure, an early morning conversation about “tying up loose ends” helps Buck and Eddie realize there are still several things left unfinished on their ‘To Do’ lists. The question is will there be enough time to complete all of them?

Chapter 23 - As the Diaz Family continues their Italian family adventure, they’ll say, “Ciao” or hello and goodbye to a lot of things almost immediately after they become an official and legal family.
Chapter 24 - After Buck, Eddie and Chris arrive in London, England on December 24th; the Diazes immediately start preparing to spend their first family Christmas together. During their stay, each of them will hear a few choice words that will be the life raft to get them home to complete their searches to be seen and to be found.
Chapter 25 - After spending more than two weeks in Europe, Eddie, Buck and Chris are back in Los Angeles and they’re getting ready to attend Maddie and Chimney’s New Year’s Eve party. During the event, they have plans to make two surprise announcements but the question is, who’s really going to be surprised, the Diaz family or their found family at the 118?
Chapter 26 - Buck and Eddie are once again faced with their greatest fear of losing each other but this time it could be permanent and if it is, then they won’t be able to spend the rest of their lives together.

For a holiday (and forevermore) - now complete
chapters: 30/30
words: 94k
rating: M
summary: Eddie's sick of personal, intrusive questions about his love life whenever he visits his family, so he starts bringing Buck for the holidays as his (fake) boyfriend. He only wants to shut them up, and doesn't expect that the small crush he has on his best friend could actually turn into something more...
aka a fluffy fake-dating, rom-com-inspired fic (with only a splash of angst), with lots of family feels, oblivious and pining idiots in love, bed sharing, hand holding, denial of feelings
[read on Ao3]
___
(excerpt from chapter 2)
 “Honestly, sometimes I wanna just bring some random guy home for the holidays and introduce him as my boyfriend just to spite them and shut them all up.” he adds without thinking, frustration still evident in his voice.
“I mean, we can do that.” Buck says, his tone teasing. Eddie snorts. “What? I could be your boyfriend.” he continues and Eddie feels his cheeks heat up. Shit.
“Yeah, right.” he chuckles.
“No, seriously, we could do that.” Buck’s voice sounds more earnest now, and Eddie looks at him with surprise. He can’t be serious, Eddie was joking, it was just a thought, a crazy idea from the spiteful and petty side of him.
“I wasn’t serious.”
___
(excerpt from chapter 6)
He feels his face and neck grow hot. Why the hell did Buck buy him a Valentine’s Day gift? “For my fake boyfriend.” he adds, smirking, as he finally steps inside the house.
“Oh.” Eddie’s kind of stunned. Obviously, it’s a joke. They’re pretending to date, so Buck figures it’s funny to buy him something. No big deal. Except, try telling this to Eddie’s heart that flutters in that certain way he doesn’t want to name… because fact of the matter is, Buck noticed what day it is, that it’s Valentine’s Day, a day of love, and his first thought was Eddie. But it’s a joke. Of course. He can’t read into this. “Thanks.” he chuckles nervously, closing the door and trying to get it together. It’s not weird, you can buy a friend a Valentine’s Day gift. Especially as an inside joke, because you’re fake boyfriends anyway. He takes a deep breath and follows Buck to the kitchen. He adds jokingly: “Sorry, got nothing for you. I had no idea what day it is.”
“Yeah, me too. Until I got to the store and saw all the Valentine’s Day-themed stuff.” Buck says, putting the beer in the fridge. “But kinda figures we’re spending it together, huh?” he looks over his shoulder to grin at Eddie. “Since we’re kinda dating.”
___
if you like fluff and romcoms, especially the movie "Holidate" (2020) which inspired this, and Eddie&Maddie friendship, and sibling dynamics (particularly big brother!Eddie), and uncle Buck (not only to Jee👀), and Buck being a ray of sunshine everyone falls in love with - you might like this one haha

For a holiday (and forevermore)-chapter 17
Chapter 17: Thanksgiving II (excerpt):
(...) “We’re raising Chris together, he’s our son.”
“Yeah.” Buck whispers, looking at Eddie with that genuine smile Eddie hasn’t seen once today. 
“How does that even work?” Philip asks, frowning.
“That’s not really what I meant...” Margaret comments with a frown. “And I thought you two were… friends? Right?” her frown deepens, as she looks at Buck, then at Maddie for confirmation, as if she knew about Buck’s love life better than him.
“Chris is as much my son as he is Buck’s.” 
“And we’re dating, actually.” Buck suddenly says, and all eyes turn on him. Eddie thinks he can hear Chimney choking on his drink (...). This wasn’t the plan, they weren’t supposed to pretend here, too. Hell, Maddie and Chimney are right here. But if that’s what Buck wants, Eddie’s on board, of course.

My Masterlist
**I've been brainstorming for weeks, trying to develop a solid idea for a multi-chapter series to write. I had an old draft of this chapter from another fanfic sitting around for a long time, and I was inspired by the MW3 zombies announcement and decided to mix that with my love for TWD. So, here is the first chapter. I'm incredibly proud of it and have a lot planned for this series. I'm excited to see how this goes. Enjoy.
The gloomy sky matches the empty feeling in your stomach as you drag your feet across the gravel beneath you. Your heavy eyes are trained on the isolated road ahead.
It had been days... almost three at this point. No food. No water. No shelter. You'd been droning on for miles, and your body begged for rest. Wind rustles the branches of the trees beside you, making you jump. Paranoia settles into your sleep-deprived mind. You stop and look over your shoulder as if studying the woods, expecting something to appear.
Your heart sinks in your chest, as you hear a distinct 'click' in your ear. Slowly, you turn your head. A few feet in front of you is a man. In the corner of your eye is the barrel of a gun.
"Let's see those hands."
A masculine voice commanded beside you. The bitter-sweet tone makes you cringe. You slowly raise your hands, watching the man ahead of you.
"What do you wan-"
"Shut up! We are doing all the talking here."
You tense up as a hand tugged at the bag on your shoulders. The familiar sound of a zipper fills the silence and the man with the gun rifles through your belongings. You silently watch the cocky smirk of the man ahead of you.
"Anything good?"
He asks, crossing his arms over his chest. The second man is silent momentarily, still digging through your backpack. Finally, he steps into your line of sight, backing up slowly to join his friend, gun still cocked and aimed your way.
"Nothing."
The men look at you, anger and disappointment clear across their faces.
"Now, what are we to do with you?"
The cocky one says, dropping his folded arms.
"Please, just let me g-"
"I said shut it!"
He snaps. His eyes roll in annoyance as he turns to face his buddy.
"By the looks of her, she won't last more than another day out here alone. Might as well put her out of her misery."
The armed man says, adjusting his aim. You press your lips into a line. Fear fills your stomach as you realize that you're about to die.
The other man shakes his head. Unsatisfied with the suggestion. You watch him pace as he thinks of what to do next.
A gunshot rings through the air. You are frozen with fear, fully anticipating pain to wash over you any second.
The armed man crumples to the ground, blood pooling around his head. His friend looks at you in shock, but you are just as shocked and confused.
His eyes snap away from you as he throws his hands up defensively.
"Woah! Woah! Hey. Look, we can work this out."
He pleads. Another shot rings out, and the man screams, clutching his bloody leg. You turn to look across the road, where a masked man stands. His tall, brooding figure loomed in the distance. You recognize the bottom half of a military uniform, his icy blue eyes narrowing at you. He holds his gun steadily, aiming at the pleading man. Oddly, you feel a sense of relief wash over you as you lock your eyes with his cold gaze.
He stays still a moment longer before walking towards you. His gun remains pointed in the man's direction as he lies on the pavement crying and holding his knee to his chest. You gasp at the sudden tug on your arm.
"Let's go."
He says firmly, pulling you with him back across the road. You are pushed protectively behind the stranger as he crouches down cautiously, swiping the dead man's handgun off the pavement and backing himself in your direction. He stares at the injured stranger the whole way, his intimidating stare never wavering.
Once you are safely on the other side of the road and under the cover of the woods. The man stops in his tracks. He turns you to face him, his hands holding you by the shoulders. He leans down to meet your eyes. His gaze softens to concern as he asks,
"Are you injured? Bit?"
His low, gravelly voice was laced with a thick, foreign accent. You simply shake your head in response, looking over your shoulder. He looks you up and down to confirm you have no apparent wounds before standing back up straight. A strong hand is still planted on your shoulder.
His eyes shift behind the black skull print balaclava toward the crying man on the road. His faint screams echoed within the trees.
"We need to move. Between the gunshots and all this noise, they'll be coming soon."
A hint of annoyance rings through his words. He lets go of you, making his way through the trees. You glance around, worried. The stranger stops and turns back to you.
"You comin'?"
You nod before hesitantly following.
The sun is beginning to set as the stranger drops his bag on the ground and sits comfortably on a tree stump. You look around at the makeshift campsite. A dark-colored sheet is propped up between two trees. A sleeping bag lays neatly beneath it.
You turn back to the man who is searching for his backpack. He pulls out a half-empty water bottle and holds it out to you. You grab it, giving a slight nod of thanks.
"Are you hungry?"
You take a quick drink of water, having to stop yourself from chugging it in your dehydrated state. You cap the bottle and hand it back, replying to his question.
"I haven't been able to find food for a few days."
The stranger pulls his mask over his nose, taking a drink himself. You get a glimpse of his sharp jawline. A blonde stubble was present on his chin. He leans forward, resting his elbows on his knees.
"What's your name?"
"Y/N."
You reply softly. He gives you a nod before pulling a can out of his bag.
"You like soup?"
The stranger pulls a knife from the holster strapped to his thigh and pries the lid off before passing it to you.
You sit down in the dirt in front of him, keeping a few feet of distance between you.
"Go ahead and have it all. I would heat it up for you, but fire draws too much attention."
"Thank you," you say graciously.
You sip at the cold soup. Careful not to cut your lip on the can's jagged edge. You savor the flavor, feeling a comforting warmth in the achy pit of your stomach.
The stranger sits quietly, turning the knife mindlessly in his hands. You watch him curiously. His eyes darted around.
"You didn't tell me your name."
The stranger's eyes fall to you. His oversized stature seems to tower over you, even sitting down hunched forward over his knees.
"Call me Ghost."
His voice is low. He seemed cautious of you, which was strange considering he was the sizeable scary man in this equation, with much more strength to overpower you if needed.
You continue to sip at the can of soup. By the time you are slurping up the last drops of the savory broth, the sun has set, and darkness has crept through the treetops.
You set the empty can aside, listening to the distant chatter of crickets. Ghost stands up, shuffling around a bit in the dark. He pulls a small flashlight from his bag, the dim blue light guiding him as he moves his backpack closer to the makeshift tent.
"You rest. I'll take watch."
He ends with a soft grunt. You don't speak or move from your spot on the ground. You felt uneasy about sleeping near this stranger. If he wanted to harm you, he would've done so by now. You have to remind yourself.
You weren't so much worried about him hurting you. But what if you woke up and he was gone? The loneliness would kill you if you had to bear it again.
After receiving no response, Ghost lowers the flashlight, aiming it at your shoes.
"What?"
He asks. His brow raised in confusion. You pick yourself reluctantly off the floor, your body aching from the days of walking. Exhaustion seeped into your bones as you dragged your feet through the dirt and leaves below.
Ghost lights your way, your tired body dropping to the sleeping bag with a huff. Ghost clicks the end of the flashlight as you snuggle into the plush nylon. He places the flashlight next to your head.
"Keep that one. Try to reserve the battery."
His voice had a certain softness to it now. It didn't take long for you to feel the heaviness of sleep tugging at your eyelids. Gravity pulls your body to the ground with a force unknown to you, the sleep deprivation overtaking the soreness in your muscles. As you drift into a deep sleep.
You wander aimlessly through the foggy trees. The eerie silence rings in your ears. You can taste the murky air as you breathe deep, trying relentlessly to calm the pounding in your chest. A soft rustling ahead causes the hair on the back of your neck to stand up. You slowly step forward to peer over the bushes. A man kneels beside a woman on the ground. Her wide eyes glazed over and her body, limp and still, save for the occasional jolt from the man.
You hear a faint huff and chatter from him. The crunch of vegetation beneath your shoe alerts him to your presence. A breath is caught in your throat as the man snaps his head to you. The woman's midsection is ripped wide open, her intestines laced through his bony fingers, blood coating his front and dripping from his chin. His bloodshot eyes and gray skin send a shiver down your spine. He snarls, snapping his teeth and crawling in your direction. You scream, terrified as a bloody hand reaches out to you.
Your eyes snap open. The forest around you is engulfed in a warm yellow light. Your breath hitches, and you are met with the cold gaze of the masked man.
You sit up on your elbow. Ghost turns to face you, holding out the empty soup can from the night before. A small fire crackled below him. The bottom of the can is scorched and blackened. You take it, a warmth flowing through your fingertips.
"Tea." He says plainly.
You look into the can. A soft yellow liquid sloshes against the sides. You give a grateful nod, sitting up and crossing your legs in front of you.
Ghost stokes the flame with a stick. His gloved hand gripping another can of tea.
You eye the knife strapped to his thigh. You can't help but wonder how you've faired this long without your own weapon. Ghost's eyes follow yours to the blade. He clears his throat, your attention changing to him.
"If you're planning on trying to kill me. I would advise against it."
You shake your head, pressing the warm can between your palms.
"No. Just thinking."
His brow raises as he stares at you, examining your nervous body language.
"I think we should stick together." You add.
Ghost snorts at the idea, turning his attention back to the fire. You take offense to his reaction.
"You don't agree?"
Ghost doesn't respond. He continues to stoke the fire, the can propped up on a neat pedestal of rocks in the middle.
"Why would you help me if you didn't intend to stick together?"
Anger rises in your voice as you furrow your brow, glaring into the side of his masked face.
"I did you a service. You're fed, hydrated,"
He gestures to the can.
"And rested. Now we can go our separate ways."
You huff out an irritated sigh.
"Please. Please don't leave me on my own. I almost died out there as it is! I don't even have a weapon!"
You exclaim. Your words become more frantic as the desperation seeps in.
"If you leave me out here alone again... you might as well consider me dead."
Ghost's face stays still and emotionless. His eyes are unblinking as he scans your face. You see his shoulders relax, and he closes his eyes.
"Okay."
A wave of relief washes through me.
"We can stick together. But… Only until we find some more supplies. Once you're set-up, you're on your own."
His voice is stern, and his brow lifts almost as if asking if you understand. You nod. It wasn't exactly what you were hoping for. But, for now, at least, it was guaranteed survival.

I hope you know I'm picking random numbers for the writer ask thing
1, 38, 77
Thats not actually random, thats like, the first one, middle one, and last one
Tumblr media
cracks my gay little knuckles 1. Do you prefer writing one-shots or multi-chaptered fics?
Buddy, my dude; my guy I have not updated a single one of my multi-chaptered fics in... months; I don't wanna talk about it 38. Would you ever write commissions?
I mean; Yeah? If somebody liked my writing enough to commission it? I don't think I'm that good yet, but I'd do it; (except for that one request on AO3.... I think about that shit often bc wtf....) (ah the days before I closed my comments to users only) 77. Do you have a favorite scene you’ve written from [Fanfic Name] story/chapter?
THE HOCKEY AU HASN'T EVEN BEEN RELEASED YET B R O
HOWEVER (and, honorable shoutout here to @thegirlsinthecity because if it wasn't for them, we would not have hockey au for me to dangle in front of your noses)
“And Wren is breaking away! Crossing into the Spectre’s side, she’s all alone!”  “Looks like Hati picked up on the fluke, they’re racing down the ice-” “Oh! That one has got to hurt!”  “Big hit by Hati, Mercenaries are in control- wait a minute, looks like Wren isn’t willing to stand for that one!”  "Whistle on the play, time will stop-" Sabine's glove came off with a good timed shake, knuckles connecting with Shin's jaw just as she was shoved back against the ice. Shin's helmet came off with the hit, and a small rivulet of blood rose to the surface from her lip. There wasn’t much time to focus on the look in their eyes when a gloved hand launched into her face, smacking her head back off the glass hard enough to bring black spots to her eyes, though the second hit, ungloved, and right into the sliver of space between the pads right into her kidneys was the one that sent her to the ground, knees hitting the ice hard enough to make her bones ache.  The crowd was screaming and cheering at the fight, smaller fights broke out on the ice around them, and Sabine could just barely see the Center, Skoll, managing to drag Shin off of her as Ahsoka and Kix rushed over.  The ice was really soft, darkness was rushing into her vision, and Ahsoka was moving so fast-

Hello! I recently discovered your blog and I have to say your masterlist is to die for. I am absolutely impressed by the variety of stories you've written for the same cast of characters! And I'm really looking forward to your multichapter fics. Your talent is just amazing!
Before I get too lost in fangirling over your fics, my question to you is this. Do you tend to lean more towards fluff or angst when you plan your stories? And do you know any other ikemen multichapter fics (they seem few and far between)? Thank you and have a nice day lovely writer! ❤️
Hello lovely Anon ❤️ That's so super awesome of you to say, I wasn't expecting this at all. Thank you for making my morning!
To answer your (first?) question, I suppose when I come up with ideas for fics it starts with:
1) Selecting the character(s). 2) Deciding on the main character/perspective. 3) Thinking of a conflict that would arise between the character(s), internal and external.
I tend to enjoy writing/reading stories that center around a believable conflict, so I guess that means I tend to default to angst more often. But that isn't to say stories without conflict can't be interesting or stories with conflict must be angsty! It's a wide world, fanfic writing is.
And for your (second?) question, I'm so so happy you asked about this because I've been looking for an excuse to talk about multichapter fics! I see that longfics in general aren't as appreciated in the ikemen fandom, at least when compared to their short fic & headcanon cousins, so please allow me to gush for a moment about these talented writers and their wonderful works!
In the case of Ikemen Prince, @leonscape and her AU series. As of now she's written for Leon and Clavis, but I believe she has plans for the rest of the princes as well. The way she handles her insane cast of OCs is astounding on its own, but there are fabulous stories underneath the surface that really attach you to them. And @myonlyjknight has a very interesting AU herself with The Rhodolite Princess that I am just waiting for the perfect evening with a mug of hot chocolate to dive into.
And I am not too familiar with Ikemen Sengoku, but I have to highlight @the12thnightproject and @lorei-writes for their astoudning multi-chapter & longfic works. Their masterlists are goliaths of skill and dedication, and I admire them both greatly. Every time I see them post a chapter, I just want to fist bump them.
Lastly, I'm giving an honorable mention to @venulus and her new multichapter fic I'm the Hellhound, so I'm Taming the Hellcat. We're in a similar boat now, starting out on new series, and it's nice to have a buddy along for the ride 💪
Multichapter works and longfic searches late into the night were a staple of my high school years, so it's my hope that kind of love and appreciation is extended to the next generation of writers and readers. And my knowledge of the ikemen fandom is still very limited, so if anyone knows of any other works or writers that I missed please to add them to this list!

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction? 
🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love
🪐 ⇢ name three good things going on in your life right now
❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?
🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?
Hi @whitedarkmoonflower !! Thanks for the ask!
🍓 How did I get into writing fanfiction? I’ve been an avid fanfic reader basically my whole life and have always created basic self insert OCs in my head my entire life too. And then I found the TLK fandom during covid lockdown and got brave and did an entry for @maggiescarborough 500 follower challenge. From there I found nothing but support and encouragement and some of my best friends in this fandom.
🥤 recommend an author or fanfic I love: this is hard to pick but I’ve got to go with the insanely talented @morosemagick ‘s masterpiece - Songs of the Unbroken which is 77 brilliant chapters and has multi chapter companion pieces as well plus AU’s with her OC and all of our other OCs in the Finan wifeymutliverse (plus my Sihtric x OC Cwen). It will keep you bud and it is an angst fueled journey and it is absolutely amazing.
🪐 Name three good things going on in your life right now - sadly, I’m struggling with this atm. And that is depressing. But my kids are happy and healthy so thats one. We’re taking small steps to improve our home which is a huge undertaking but I feel like we’re making progress so that is a good feeling. And lastly, I made a goal to bring learning sourdough this year and so far it’s been going well and it feels good to feed my family healthy bread that I’ve made them.
❄️- my dream theme/plot for a fic and who would write it best? Whoa buddy. This is a toughie! I really would love to see an epic fantasy AU with our TLK favs. And I’ve started plots for this before but haven’t been able to take it anywhere. Man. That’s a hard one.
🏜️ what’s your favorite type of comment to receive on work - I adore any and all comments but the ones that make me happiest are when someone quotes a line I was particularly proud of or tells me that they loved my descriptions. I am very deliberate about a lot of my word selection to try and evoke certain vibes and feelings so that means a lot when someone picks up on that.
Thank you so much for the ask dear! 🧡

___________
Here’s a snippet from one of Buck’s and Eddie's conversations included in chapter 8. ___________
Eddie smiles and nods.
Buck waits for him to look up and when he does, he decides now’s the time to tell him he’s going back to the loft.
“I—I think it’s time… no I know it’s time for me to move back into the loft.”
Eddie’s facial expression morphs into one of concern.  He stops eating, dries his hands on the napkin because his palms instantly start sweating and he doesn’t know why.  That’s a lie because he does know.  He doesn’t want Buck to leave.
He tries to keep a neutral expression on his face but he thinks he misses it by a mile.  He gently says, “You know you can stay here as long as you like.”
Buck nods and after a few seconds he admits, “I know and I appreciate everything you’ve done for me… I just think you and Chris need time to talk without me being here.”
Eddie gives him a confused look.
Buck meets his eyes and says, “Last night, he asked me if I thought you would be sad if he asked you questions about Shannon and… I—I think you two need your privacy so you can talk about it.  If I stay here then I may…”  He trails off.
Eddie doesn’t rush him; he just keeps patiently waiting.
They get quiet and it’s not an awkward silence but it is one filled with a bit of tension since neither of them are ready to admit they don’t want him to go.
When Buck doesn’t continue, Eddie asks, “What did he say he wants to ask me?”
“The main question he wants to ask is why she left when you guys were still in El Paso.”
Eddie nods and asks, “And what did you say?”
How will Buck respond to Eddie's question?

For a holiday (and forevermore) - chapter 26
Chapter 26: Halloween II (excerpt):
(...) “And it wasn’t even our first kiss.” 
“Oh, right! I almost forgot.” he laughs.
“Forgot?” Eddie asks teasingly, raising his eyebrow. “How could you forget our first kiss? Wow.”
“Oh, shut up.” Buck laughs again, and Eddie loves that sound so much, he never wants it to stop. “I didn’t forget, but that kiss on Halloween, and everything that followed kind of overshadowed it.”
“You mean when you started avoiding me?” he asks just to see Buck blush a little, embarrassed.
“That didn’t happen until after you said you wanted to stop pretending.” he grumbles.
“I mean, yeah, that’s when you stopped talking to me. But before that, you were getting distant. You stopped staying the night, and I had to sleep alone.” he sighs dramatically, and Buck smiles, taking his hand and kissing his knuckles.
“Wow, that’s horrible. How on earth did you survive that?” he asks with amusement, and it’s Eddie’s turn to laugh. He loves that they can joke about it now, because it really was so ridiculous. One honest conversation and it’d all be resolved months earlier. “Looking back, I really don’t know how we thought we were pretending.” Buck adds. “I’m pretty sure we started dating that first night at your parents’ house. Or maybe on New Year’s, when we kissed – see, I remember.” he glances at Eddie and grins.
“That was so early on.” Eddie shakes his head. “Why did you kiss me then?”
“Because I wanted to.” Buck says easily, shrugging with one arm.

Has anyone thought about how long is Otomerson's fic Endless Dreaming?
The newest chapter got uploaded recently and I wondered how long it was. Currently as of writing this the fanfic has 301,390 words.
That's an absurd amount of words.
A novel based on my googling has about 50,000 - 100,000 words.
If their fanfic was made into books it would be a multi-book saga or a very thick book. And guess what? We're barely getting into act 2! It's gonna be even longer!!
I applaud Otomerson for writing so much! I also worry about their workload.. like.. buddy don't you take breaks?

For a holiday (and forevermore)-chapter 19
Chapter 19: Christmas Eve II (excerpt):
The door is open, and… and Buck is right here, looking nervous and tired, his hair a mess and bags under his eyes, while he’s anxiously twisting his fingers. Still as beautiful as ever. Eddie can’t breathe. He’s here. Buck’s here. He came, despite it all, despite downright refusing to really talk to Eddie for weeks. He’s so stubborn and infuriating, and Eddie has never loved anyone more.
“Hi.” Buck says quietly. Eddie’s stunned. “I’m so sorry to just come here unannounced, I- I talked to Maddie, or,” he blushes adorably, looking away for a second, “she tore me a new one about how stubborn I’ve been, and, well, she convinced me to stop acting stupid and talk to you. So, I did one last stupid thing and got on a flight to Texas.” he smiles shyly. “It was a hassle, Christmastime is not a good time to travel.” he chuckles. “It’s a Christmas miracle I got here at all.”
“Buck.” Eddie finally says, because Buck’s starting to ramble, and Eddie needs to know why he’s here. He hopes, of course, and he has been planning to tell Buck about his own feelings, but his sudden arrival throws him for a loop, and he needs a minute to wrap his head around it.

For the “Fanfic writer ask game”… 🔬and 🌾 ?
Thank you for the questions!
🔬The fic you had to make the most research for?
Oh, Purpose of Heritage for sure. Collateral involved more canon research just because I had never written a Star Wars fic before and really only had movie knowledge (I swore I wasn't going to do a lot of canon research when I set out to write that story, but I can't quit looking things up even if I decide I'm not going to use it), but for PoH I've had to research some canon/planet stuff plus the effects of stimulant withdrawal, the order of military ranks, general first aid stuff, hypothermia treatment, "buddy" blood transfusions, terms for various parts of naval ships since those same terms are used for space ships in the Star Wars universe, what a bunk on a navy ship looks like, and I'm sure there'll be more in the future.
🌾 A fic you really want to write but you haven’t (yet)?
I've technically started this one, but it's way on the backburner so it has all of 600 words written and I'm not actively working on it. I had this AU idea about a universe in which Vader and Leia know how they're related starting when she's like 11. It's supposed to be pretty silly, but it's definitely going to be a multi-chapter, and I can't devote the time to it that I'd prefer to right now because I'm working on other stuff. So, it'll have to wait. But I do plan on writing it!
Also, I don't know if I'll ever do this because I don't really get into any time period past maybe half a decade after ROTJ, but I think the idea of Poe Dameron growing up with Kylo Ren Ben Solo as like the annoying younger honorary cousin he has to play with because he's Auntie Leia's kid and Shara is very insistent that he be nice to him even if the cape is a little off-putting makes their introduction in TFA infinitely funnier and I would love to write a one-shot around that concept.

yayyyyyy friend fanfic!
i was rapid fire spewing out buddy daddies huaxuan AU headcanons at @muigiel one day and one of them (admittedly a little astray from buddy daddies at that point ... modern he xuan struggling single dad raising baby lianlian and banyue while trying to finish his biology PhD and incoming hot mess casino owner hua cheng) landed and they wrote a whole multi chapter fic about it!! it's been so fun to read and they kindly chose to set in a town i used to live in and i've developed deeply comprehensive lore about the gay bar they frequent (the last lesbian bar there that closed in 2017 but 25-year-old casino mogul hua cheng buys it and saves it from closing, it becomes a queer bar, yin yu is the manager and ling wen is the fuckboy lesbian bartender that gave me free tequila shots one memorable evening in 2016).
brb writing head canons in my mind about the breifly mentioned moment of he xuan's past as a horny & diehard romantic teenager trying to date aroace yin yu before they ended up lifelong besties helping raise he xuan's kids (with quan yizhen and eventually hua cheng of course). i love these dudes T.T
also honourable mention for before hua cheng gets in the picture yin yu occasionally lending he xuan his boyfriend quan yizhen for casual sex and them all cuddling in bed together sometimes. that healed me...
