#i need them to address the fact that buck and christopher and eddie went thru this huge trauma

[wilddragonflying]

Yknow what we need in s5

We need an episode where the Buckley-Diaz family goes to the beach

Like, they avoid the pier bc that's just Too Much, but they find a small beach that's relatively private(maybe not visited a lot bc the waves aren't big/there isn't much actual beach), and Buck and Christopher are both clearly nervous about being at the ocean, bc a river, a lake, a pool, they're all different than the ocean, yknow? The ocean is big and vast and just. doesn't give a shit about you, and there's a voice in the back of your mind that always whispers that reminder

And I need Buck and Christopher deciding to do this, to face their fears together, but maybe they freeze right at the water's edge - and then Eddie steps up, one hand on Christopher's shoulder, the other between buck's shoulder blades, and promises he's got them, they're all here together, they'll do this together.

And maybe for extra Buddie Flavor, Buck and Eddie share a long look while Christopher has his arms wrapped around buck's waist, and then Buck takes a breath, maybe bites his lip for a moment(and Eddie's gaze flicks down but then back up, too fast to be sure it actually moved), and then Buck nods, determined, and Eddie gives him that soft, supportive smile, nose scrunched just a little like it did when he and Buck were pushing Christopher on his skateboard

And then, as one family, they take the first step forward
