//TW for medical talk and pics including IVS
Making a new post about this because we're in desperate need of help and I'm not sure what else to do. My father went into a heart center a state away (it was the closest they could transfer him) about a week ago because he was having breathing issues in his rib, and it turns out he has a pulmonary embolism; an infection in the artery in his lung. We aren't sure what caused it, but they were able to say it hasn't done damage yet thankfully. While he's been away, I've been trying to get commissions or any help to pay for another week but we still need 160$ to be good for another week, and we only have another full day to get it all together. We don't have anywhere to go if we can't stay here and I want my father to have somewhere to come home to.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We also need help with getting the meds he needs so the infection doesn't take over, and we will need help getting an Uber to get him back since we don't have any family or friends that could bring him back. I know it's alot to ask for, I didn't expect them to transfer him so far or for the infection to be anything serious at first. But work has been very slow and we can't do this on our own. I want to at least get a week paid for first.
My commissions are in my pinned post, or if you'd like to donate, I have a tipping function on my twitter which you can find here. Anything at all would mean alot to us in this situation. Reblogs included. Thank you.

Crashing Waves V
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11
Warnings: hospital, drowning mention, medical whump, embolism, hurt/comfort, hurt/aftermath, hurt/recovery, caretaker and whumpee
Whumpee slowly inched their way into consciousness. Something cold and hard was down their throat. And their body felt heavy. So heavy. Their eyelids felt as though they weighed one ton each. The beeping of a monitor, whirring of air, and the antiseptic smell let them know they were in a hospital. Caretaker had made it in time. 
They slowly blinked the world into focus. 
“Whumpee!” Caretaker said suddenly from Whumpee’s right. “Oh thank God.” They squeezed Whumpee’s hand. 
Whumpee tried to turn their head, but couldn’t. They were too weak, too tired to move. They tried to open their mouth, but couldn’t. They could hear their heart rate rise on the monitor. 
“It’s ok, Whumpee. It’s ok. You’re on a ventilator. It’s ok.”
Whumpee blinked slowly. I know. I know. Take it out, please, Caretaker. Take it out. And stop the sedation. I can’t move. I need to move. Please, Caretaker. Please. 
“Let me get a nurse in here, they’ll know what to do.”
Whumpee closed their eyes. Please. Take this out. I can breathe. Please. Stop drugging me. Please. Take it out. 
“Hello, Whumpee, my name is Nurse, I’ll be assessing you today.” Nurse’s voice was sickly sweet. Whumpee tried to move their head to look at them. To look anywhere but the ceiling. “Hold on, Whumpee, I’ll raise your bed.”
The mechanical whirring of the bed, slowly raised Whumpee up a little. They could see Nurse. They were brunette with pink scrubs. And they could see Caretaker. Caretaker looked a wreck. They were wearing a pair of hospital scrubs and their hair was uncombed.  They looked exhausted. 
“Whumpee, I’ll have you blink once for ‘yes’ twice for ‘no’. Do you understand?”
Whumpee blinked once. Yes. I know how this works. 
“Are you in any pain.”
No. 
“Kid, be honest with them.”
Whumpee rolled their eyes. Alright, yeah, I am. 
“I’ll get you something for that. Are you feeling weak?”
Yes. 
“Is that normal?” Caretaker’s voice held an edge of worry Whumpee did not like hearing. 
“Of course, Caretaker. Fairly common. They’ll get their strength back over the next few days. And as the infection passes, they’ll do a lot better, too.”
Infection. I have an infection?
“Whumpee, you drowned two days ago. Do you remember?”
Water flooding into the darkened pine box, regulator getting tougher and tougher to pull air from, their father’s voice in their ear. Yes. 
“Your lungs sustained a lot of damage from that, Whumpee. Hence the vent. I’ll let the doctor know you’re awake and can answer more questions. They’ll be able to let you know when we can wean you off the vent.”
Please. Please get this thing out of my mouth. And stop sedating me. 
“Now that they’re awake, do they have to be on so many sedatives and pain killers?” Caretaker asked quietly. 
“Let’s see what the doctor has to say, but we can turn down some of them for now.” Nurse adjusted something at the IV monitor. “Welcome back, Whumpee.” 
By that afternoon, Whumpee was feeling more alert. The doctor had assessed them and offered that the medical team would be able to wean them off the ventilator the next morning. Whumpee was elated. They wanted to do more than hold Caretaker’s hands. Rub circles with their thumbs. They wanted out of bed. And they had to be ventilator free for that. 
“Don’t for one second think that you’ll be getting out of bed the second they take the vent out, kid.”
Whumpee glared at Caretaker. Please. I have had enough rest. We need to catch Whumper. 
“Nope. You are staying in this bed until they release you. You still have an infection.”
Caretaker.
My child, loathe as I hate to agree with Caretaker, they are right. Father said from the corner. 
Unfortunately, as Whumpee felt less hazy, Father reappeared. Not helping. 
Father made a zipping motion at their mouth and tossed away the figurative key. 
“Whumpee,” Caretaker began, holding Whumpee’s hand tightly, “I really almost lost you. Please. Please don’t make me go through that again. Just please. I can’t. Please.”
Caretaker. Whumpee rubbed circles with their thumb on Caretaker’s hand. I will stay. For you. Always for you. 
“I love you, Whumpee.” Caretaker leaned over and kissed Whumpee’s cheek. 
I love you. They tried to trace the letters onto Caretaker’s hand. It was slow going, but they got it. It would be much better if I could text you. 
“Your phone’s trashed. But you seem to be getting more of your coordination back. Maybe I’ll get you some paper and a pen.”
YES!  Whumpee’s eyes lit up. 
“After you take a nap, kid. You’ve been awake most of the day.”
I’ve been asleep for two days. That’s more sleep than I get in a week!
“Rest up. Your mother is going to kill me for not calling her sooner. She is not going to believe she missed you waking.”
Please do not call her. 
“Take a nap. I’ll deal with your mother.”
Whumpee reluctantly closed their eyes. They had been fighting the exhaustion since the moment they woke up. They didn’t want to drift into dreams again. Because now they had new things to haunt their dreams. But sleep sucked them under quickly. 
They woke once, hours later. It was dark in the room. Their mother was reclined in a chair. Caretaker was asleep in their chair, also reclined as far as it could go. Whumpee smiled. They blinked sleepily. They were both asleep. No sense in waking them. They closed their eyes once more. 
When they blinked them open again, it was morning. Sunlight streamed through the windows. Their mother was gone, but Caretaker was there. 
“Your mother went to have breakfast with your sister. They’ll be back this afternoon,” Caretaker said as they smiled down at Whumpee. 
Or we could just not let her come back here. Please. For me? I almost died, Caretaker.
Your mother deserves to see you, my child. I deserve to see you, my child. 
Shut up.  
“Speaking of breakfast, are you ok if I go get some coffee?”
Yes. Please take care of yourself. I don’t want you getting sick for me. Because of me. Please, Caretaker. 
“I’ll be ten minutes.”
Take all the time in the world. I’m not going anywhere. Whumpee squeezed Caretaker’s hand and Caretaker stood. 
Whumpee wasn’t alone in their room for long. A tall, broad-shouldered nurse walked in. Whumpee didn’t really look at them. They were looking out the window at the parking lot full of life down below. 
“You’re coming off the ventilator today, I hear, Whumpee.” 
Whumpee’s blood ran cold. Whumper. It was Whumper, the person who drowned them. They reached their fingers for the call button, but Whumper stopped them. “You got lucky, Whumpee. Most people who are under for as long as you don’t survive.”
Whumpee glared up at Whumper. They could see more of Whumper than before. They had a tattoo of a mermaid on their right inner forearm. And burns. Many, many burns. Soldier of fortune. Blackwater type. Something that they are getting payback for. 
You were right, my child! What does that mean?
They don't give up easily. 
Whumper fiddled with something in their pocket. They suddenly grabbed Whumpee’s hand with the IV port. “Which will make it all the more tragic when you succumb to your injuries. Did you know that embolisms are common after near-drowning?”
Whumpee could feel the panic rising in their chest as they saw the syringe clear Whumper’s pocket. No. Please. No.
We’ve been here before, my child. 
Yeah. And I died then, too. I can’t go through that again. 
Caretaker should be back any moment now. Hang on, my child. Hang on. 
Whumpee tried to pull their arm away, but Whumper held it tight. They drew up air into the syringe and connected it to the port. Please. Don’t. 
“I told you I can’t have you catching me, Whumpee. It’s nothing personal,” Whumper said as they depressed the plunger. 
Whumpee felt the familiar sensation of not being able to draw breath despite the ventilator trying to force air into their lungs. Felt their heart race out of control. And as their world grew dark, Whumpee felt afraid. Afraid that they wouldn’t get lucky again.

The description on Techno’s SFA courage award
[Image ID: a screenshot of the description of Technoblade’s Sarcoma Foundation of American’s Courage award. There is a photo of his Youtube profile picture. The description reads: 
“Technoblade, real name: Alexander, was an American YouTuber and internet personality known for his YouTube channel, Technoblade, a Minecraft persona in the guise of a pig that he started at 14 years old. He is widely regarded by the game’s community as one of the best Minecraft players and Minecraft content creators. In the beginning, he plugged away at making videos, attracting a small but steadily growing group of followers with a goal of accumulating 10 million subscribers, an achievement reached by very few*. In July 2021 at the age of 22, after noticing pain in his right arm and a sudden lump, he was diagnosed with sarcoma and chest scans revealed metastasis to both lungs.  Alex endured chemotherapy and radiation treatments, an embolization procedure tumor, and also participated in a clinical trial for the treatment, Milademetan. Throughout his sarcoma journey, he decided to use his significant platform to help support sarcoma research, even if it most likely would not gain results in time for him. His first effort for SFA was “Minecraft But Viewers Control The Game (Charity Event).” Still weak from chemotherapy, he played for almost four hours, raising over $360,000. Throughout his treatment, he continued to do more for research, and made February 2022 his own Sarcoma Awareness Month, raising an additional $150,000.  In total, Technoblade rallied his followers to raise over $1 million for sarcoma research. Unfortunately, tests revealed that his sarcoma had continued to grow and the masses in his lungs had begun pressing against his heart.  He died in June of 2022, shortly after his 23rd birthday, at home, surrounded by his family. The public reaction to the announcement of his death was overwhelming. And rather than focus on what an amazing gamer he was, or how smart or how funny he was, instead people talked about his kindness and his generosity. People spoke about how much his videos helped them through a difficult time in their lives. Other well-known YouTubers such as Dream, expressed their admiration for him. Simon Collins-Laflamme, the co-founder of Hypixel, and business magnate Elon Musk expressed similar feelings. YouTube posted its condolences to his family, friends, and fans and Technoblade was described as “one of Minecraft’s most celebrated personalities.” Mojang Studios, the creators of Minecraft said that Technoblade “became synonymous with a source of good.” Even now, people are still quoting his oft-repeated catchphrases, including, “Technoblade never dies.”
*In June 2022, Technoblade’s channel had reached 10.8 million subscribers and in August 2022, it posthumously reached fifteen million subscribers.”.

life update
hey everyone! thank you for all the messages of concern im posting to let u all know im ok!
so i havent been around bc frankly ive been terrible, my beloved cat passed away really suddenly from an embolism and one week after i was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. i just had surgery to remove the thyroid last week, luckily the cancer has not spread to any lymph nodes and the radioactive pill should kill any remaining cancer cells lurking around
the main reason im writing this other than to let you know im fine is to ~inspire~ you guys to go to the dr and do your regular check ups and not neglect your health just because you're young hot and busy
i always begrudgingly went for like 1 blood test every couple years and thought i was covered but it turned out i had fucking cancer and nothing was showing up on the blood tests. like the way i found out is i happened to do the marketing for a radiologist who offered me a free ultrasound check up, otherwise id still be walking around with a ticking time bomb in my throat
so ya thats about it, ill be medical leave/wfh for the foreseeable future so ill prob be around and update unions etc when im feeling more cheery. its been really difficult dealing with this while grieving my cat and not becoming catatonic with depression as a result ngl but im trying to stay positive. i hope all you guys are doing well, much love to everyone and remember to go for your check ups! <3

4. Hi! I'm looking for a fic where during the Lotus Pier seige there is an array or something set up that protects it and results in a baby for WWX and LWJ that is about the same age as A-Yuan - they already know (can't remember how).

5. looking for a fic that I thought I'd saved and hope i didn't dream it up... in this fic, I think wwx and lwj aren't tgt, but slept tgt? wwx finds out he is expecting, and instead of letting lwj know, he goes to the wens for refuge (I believe granny wen is mentioned in the description!)

~*~
6. Hi i am searching for a particular fic but it seems to have disappeared on me so the storyline was that LWJ and WWX were married but WWX wasn't happy in the marriage and LWJ comes to know this by hearing it from some where that WWX said so when he had gone to a flower house/brothel and then LWJ calls upon WQ to confirm if what he heard was true which she does and so he makes a decision to go leave planning to head to Yilling or CR and when he was travelling he encounters XXC and SL but doesn't reveal his identity of being WWX's husband just says that he is a disciple of the Lan and the 3 of them work on this night hunt where out of 3 wishes one would be fulfilled, is a curse related to i think some sisters also JWY was the emperor and WWX's post was either a general crown prince or a marquis and after WWX comes to know about LWJ leaving asks LWJ's maids who go with LWJ whenever he visits CR if they know where has he gone— with him also going to CR in search for LWJ (unsure) and JWY in a scene tells WWX some thing along the lines of that it wasn't probably also LWJ's choice, was being pressured into the marriage or so. most likely was muti-chaptered don't remember much of it and was on ao3.

7. Hi! I'm looking for a CQL!verse fic in which people can choose to tie a red string between them when they get married (sort of a soulmate au, but not really).

~*~
8. hi! thx so much for your work in the fandom. i'm looking for a fic where wwx is a sect leader and towards the end of the fic (I think) he's at a cultivation conference where someone tries to set fire to his rooms and he and lwj go into a qiankun box. i think at the very end wwx summons a phoenix born from the flames of his burned rooms. thx so much!

9. hello, thanks for your work!
i was trying to search for this fic where wwx from post-canon travels back in time and is in around the yllz time, he keeps doting on lwj and yllz (past wwx) gets a bit jealous but doesn't know what to name it. he refuses to believe that he married lwj in the future and the future wwx gets mad at him and tells him not to hurt lwj. can't seem to find it anywhere.

10. Hi buddy, I have one request. If you have came across a wangxian fic where Wei Wuxian is reincarnated and came to Gusu with Lan Wanji ( I think LWJ is the chief cultivator here) and realised that LWJ was getting marriage proposals from around the (cultivation) World a lot. And he propose to conduct a competition to find the most suitable candidate from the available lot while being secretly heartbroken that he could not have LWJ. I'm not sure if it's ABO or not. A-yuan also has an important role in this fic. Plz help..... @grrumpywoof
FOUND? a morbid longing by sunandseas (E, 24k, WIP, WangXian, Mutual Pining Misunderstandings, Porn with Feelings, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Omega LWJ, Alpha WWX, Bottom LWJ, Possessive WWX, BAMF WWX, Protective WWX, Hurt LWJ, Dark WWX)
is that the one where the suitors have to steal a token from lwj, and lwj gives it to wwx, but wwx thinks it was just the gusu jade access pass and was really sad about someone winning the token?? 🤔 (based on the comic about the witch's cat?)
~*~
11. Hii, I'm looking for a fic. It was about wwx wished that he does not exist in the life of people he love, because of what happens with jiang yanli, jin ling, jiang cheng and everyone he loves. So he live, but not with his parents, jc,lwj and so on. And there's one time his parents come to an inn and met wwx, they dont know who wwx is because they never have a kid. But wwx and his father, has a similar face, so when he look at wwx, he feel like wwx is his kid that he never have.. I hope that u know this fic is, because I have been trying to remember where and what fic it is but I cant. Thankyou for your hard work.
Pretty sure #11 is a twitter thread by cerbykerby but I don't have a twitter account any more and thus searching is hard
FOUND? For 11, this is the cerbykerby fic unrolled
~*~
12. heyy admins! i'm looking for a fic where wei ying's parents turns out to be alive. from what i remember they somehow escaped the burial mounds after many years and they learned about wei ying from people then they made their way to the cloud recesses and they stayed there a bit. thanks in advance! <3

~*~
14. Hello ! First of all, THANK YOU for your hard work on this blog and WangxianFicRecs, I really enjoy my time on both ! :) This is a first for me so I hope I'm asking properly (otherwise, please, excuse me^^'). I'm looking for a fic I think was on a list in FicRecs last month but I can't seem to find it back... I just skimmed through it at the time and thought that it was great and that I would come back to it later... except I forgot to bookmark it and had not luck searching my AO3 history so far :'(. It was a Wangxian AO3 fic and the only thing I remember clearly is a sentence where Wei Ying thinks about the way Lan Zhan smells and says that he decides LZ's scent smells like love.

Eddie: Constantly uses his words and actions to show Buck he has a place with him and Chris as a family (the post tsunami scene, the will scene etc), and with him as a partner ("that will never happen to US" etc), as well as using his words to affirm he KNOWS Buck better than anyone ("I know you did", "you think you're expendable" ect) and knows exactly what Buck needs to feel loved and supported and to pull him out of his head when he's spiraling.
Some of you: Well thank god Tommy is here and Buck finally has someone who can openly love him and maybe he will finally move on from Eddie!
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 No hate to Tommy, it's not his fault he's (knowingly because he's smart and clocked this shit from the jump) in the middle of these two idiots in love, and is gonna take those kisses while he can until Buck and Eddie wise up, but some of these takes are Not It.
The show did not spend this many years making Buck and Eddie a family unit just to fumble the bag now when they are FINALLY being allowed to take steps forward in making it canon. Plus, having things with Tommy mirror all of Buck's past failed relationships feels like A Choice. Buck is himself and does something imperfectly, they bolt, he chasses after them trying to overcorrect because that childhood neglect doesn't just go away, rinse and repeat. Except for, ya know, Eddie. Who watched Buck being jealous and insecure all day but buckle down when it counted and HE stepped up to invite Buck in. Who after the embolism sought Buck out to help pull him out of his head. Who after the tsunami when Buck thought he had screwed up too badly to ever be forgiven, came to him and said "I still trust you with my child who is my heart outside my chest". Who after the shooting told Buck it had been cemented for over a year that Buck would get Chris because he would raise him just like Eddie would.
Like, be SO for real right now.

ok interlude 1. everyone loves interlude 1. fun things happening in interlude 1 i.e. meeting danny hebert and meeting scion also.
you guys remember seeing that one tumblr post thats like. [in response to experiment where bees read a fake bee on a stick as a real bee] stupid bees. falling for a fake bee on a stick being a real bee. and then someone else is like. i bet eldritch beings are like that about us. stupid humans. falling for fake humans on a stick being real humans. you guys know that post? anyway that's what this interlude makes me think of.
“The golden man would reappear several more times in the coming months and years. At some point, he donned clothing. At first, a sheet worn over one shoulder and pinned at either side of the waist, then more conventional clothes. In 1999, he donned the white bodysuit he still wears today. For more than a decade, we have wondered, where did our golden man get these things? Who was he in contact with?
^ stupid humans. mistaking a fake human on a stick for a real human. i love the horror of this interlude in retrospect. people assuming he's miraculously curing cancer as the world's most heroic original parahuman when he's actually the nigh-incomprehensible alien that's the cause of the pandemic and was healing the cancerous person because they were a host for a parasitic part of the alien's own body that had been implanted in them.
“His pace increased, perhaps because he was still learning what he could do, perhaps because he was getting a greater sense of where he was needed. By the middle of the 1990s, he was traveling from crisis to crisis, flying faster than the speed of sound. In fifteen years, he has not rested.
this seeming to everyone else like him intentionally increasing the effectiveness of his heroics when he's just. life on a scale one cannot comprehend experiencing a mental health crisis It cannot comprehend. and oblivious to the fact that the coping mechanism he's trying is not fucking working.
“Just five years after Scion’s first appearance, the superheroes emerged from the cover of rumor and secrecy to show themselves to the public.  Though the villains followed soon after, it was the heroes who shattered any illusions of the parahumans being divine figures.  In 1989, attempting to quell a riot over a basketball game in Michigan, the superhero known to the public as Vikare stepped in, only to be clubbed over the head.  He died not long after of a brain embolism.  Later, he would be revealed to be Andrew Hawke. “The golden age of the parahumans was thus short lived.  They were not the deific figures they had appeared to be.  Parahumans were, after all, people with powers, and people are flawed at their core.  Government agencies took a firmer hand, and state-”
i love the implication that because scion was so obviously. Not Fucking Normal. people assumed the first parahumans to show themselves were also on some level deific or Above humanity. and eventually people did realize. oh these are just regular guys but with powers. leaving the mystery of why scion is Like That just kind of up in the air. you think that's ever uncomfortable for people? like it's normal, it's default, but if anyone ever thinks about it too hard while they're bored....it's weird, man.
anyway onto mr daniel hebert. i think it's really notable that his introduction is him watching tv about parahumans, then shutting it off and getting up to pace with this line being given:
It was three fifteen in the morning, and his daughter Taylor was not in her bedroom.
but then despite how this is Immediately preceded by a talk about how actually, capes are just normal guys, there's a conspicuously absent lack of danny...connecting that thought to taylor being out late. and, like, i explicitly do not think this is a flaw of danny at this point--there's no reason anyone would leap to assuming THEIR teenage family member that is just a normal person is secretly a cape bc they were out late once. but the juxtaposition btwn the tv program abt capes and his "huh. anyways" reaction is very much There and i think you can 100% view it as a start to a pattern of behavior he'll have where all common sense should lead him to taylor being a cape (just fucking. out adn about thriving post-leviathan randomly knowing shit about the s9 out there living an obvious double-life!) but he's just Completely Not Even Thinking About It. which is the same thing as the shit he does in this first interlude:
Danny thought about clearing his throat to let her know he was awake and available should she knock on his door, but decided against it. He was being cowardly, he thought, as if his clearing of his throat would give reality to his fears.
He was stopped by the smell of jam and toast. She had made a late night snack. It filled him with relief. He couldn’t imagine his daughter, after being mugged, tormented or humiliated, coming home to have toast with jam as a snack. Taylor was okay, or at least, okay enough to be left alone.
he keeps getting up in his own head where hes like. oh nooo i know shes being bullied but i cant do anything about it yelling at the school didnt work and i cant move her to arcadia. while being completely emotionally disengaged from taylor and also somehow managing to convince himself that they have some sort of trust/understanding from him Not Acknowledging It At All so its basically fine. he Genuinely believes that clearing his throat would magically inform her that hes awake and available if she wants to ask for help (as opposed to giving her a heart attack over being caught??) but can't even do that because he doesn't want to actually take the problems from like. a hypothetical he gets mad about in his head into a real life material thing hes supposed to support her thru. if he doesn't see it it can't hurt him. he's processing everything thru "well i guess shes okay enough to be left alone" while just wildly oblivious to the amount of pain shes in and he has genuinely convinced himself that he's doing the best thing of giving her the Dignity of suffering alone or whatever. convinced he's available to talk to and expecting her to come talk to him and increasingly mad she's not but not actually very obviously available to talk to. and it eventually boils over into taking away her autonomy to attempt Forcing her into talking! he has no conception of anything that isnt sitting there expecting her to do the work of emotional connection or going "you will emotionally connect with me. now. or else." this is just kind of a ramble because this will not be fun for me if i cleanly edit every single post into a masterpiece but im enjoying poasting my thoughts on a second go around hopefully theres something coherent i can crystallize

I think a lot about every time 911 shows us Eddie understanding a little more about Buck in real time... 
(after cut because this got long but bare with me)
Like, the first season should be the most obvious, with the earthquake eps and the next one showing Eddie’s surprise/reaction to Buck’s immediate unconditional support when it comes to Christopher. You can literally see something click for him in Stuck, first when Buck clears Chris spending the day with them with Bobby, then when he introduces Carla to them. 
But then you have new and interesting glimpses at moments when Eddie found another piece of Buck’s puzzle. In Kids Today, for example, we see that Eddie’s approach to Buck’s “sulking” is rather closed off, almost cold, and it’s one of the very first time we hear him mention his father’s toxic masculinity preachings... but when Hen points out that Buck doesn’t have much outside of work, you can literally SEE the second it clicks in for Eddie. Not that Buck doesn’t have anyone, but that he doesn’t know he does. That he doesn’t understand. Which is why he brings Christopher over. Not to teach a lesson, but to show him he’s wrong and he has people who love him regardless.
While the whole lawsuit arc was probably illuminating, for me the real highlight when it comes to Eddie understanding Buck a little bit better is in the famous kitchen scene. Before they get all flirty with the sexual tension... we see Buck ask if maybe Eddie is still angry at him, if maybe Eddie wanted to fight/hurt him, and while Eddie pokes fun of Buck making this about himself, I think it’s a very big moment when he realizes how deep the self-loathing runs, that Buck cannot just accept the fact that he was forgiven, that he still things that Eddie wanted to/would under any circumstances hurt him. So he makes a point to say “I wouldn’t do that”, matter of factly (even if he later has to sidestep it with a joke because this is pre-therapy Eddie after all). 
Which of course later leads to The One That Got Away and Buck’s traumas shining through his relationship with Red and you can see how adamant Eddie is that no, Buck is not being left behind and no he isn’t losing the 118 family, and he’s annoyed when the others aren’t as quick to reassure him. But this is all part of Eddie-understanding-Buck-arc in s3 (remember the post-embolism thing i mentioned above). Which, of course, later becomes a punch in What’s Next? when Abby is back and Eddie sees real time one of the people who’ve filled Buck with abandonment and scars. Buck who, at this point, fyi, Eddie has already chosen as the person he trusts most to look after his son in case he dies.
Anyway, s4 is short but there’s treasures like What’s Your Grievance and Buck Begins, in which Eddie very clearly sees the roots of Buck’s pain and is already quick to validate his feelings and offer him a shoulder and space to vent. This Eddie is far more prepared than his counterpart at the beginning of s3 to see and understand Buck and offer his support openly. Which is what leads to the shooting and, more importantly, Buck once again acting like he’s expendable. And, because Eddie’s had this whole journey so far, he’s at a place where he can see better than the other characters that Buck doesn’t think himself invincible, he thinks himself disposable. But you can see the confusion in his face when Buck says it the first time, the moment —again— when he processes this new and painful information about his best friend. And he, once again, takes action with words of affirmation to show Buck that, again, he’s wrong. 
Now, by s5 Buck and Eddie know each other pretty well so there’s fewer surprises on Eddie’s side (s5, after all, it’s Buck’s turn to go through the journey of truly seeing Eddie’s scars and pain and being there for him) but I think about Home And Away, and how Eddie needs to do a double-take after he jokes that Chimney will not forgive Buck. Because it’s a joke, it’s meant to be, but the hurt in Buck’s eyes is so clear —because, again, he thinks himself easily discarded as soon as he screws up once— that he looks genuinely shocked that he has to clarify the joke in the first place. S5 keeps telling us Eddie already sees Buck, in little things like recognizing how Buck wants to fix things and how he might struggle with lack of control when he can’t help. 
Then s6 doubles down on the idea that Eddie already knows Buck so deeply, “it’s clearly bothering you”, knowing the happiness convention call was hard on him and teaming up with Chim to cheer Buck and Hen, picking up on his changes in habits and the fact that he might be hiding something, not joining the schedule to check on him after the lightning, being the one who offers the right space for Buck to open up... and then there’s the cemetery scene and there’s another DING moment when a new piece falls and Eddie realizes that Buck has changed, how could he not, and he’s now trying to catch up with whatever is wrong or new. And even then, he knows Buck enough to reassure him that he doesn’t need to pretend for anyone else’s sake. 
Anyway, I don’t know where I’m going with this, except for the fact that I love the journey these two have gone through and how we’ve gotten to see on screen (rather than just assume or be told) the moments that have slowly morphed Eddie’s perception of Buck from the cocky kid from day 1 to the rather hurt and vulnerable and open hearted man he truly is.

The Forgotten One Chapter Two:
Love on the Brain
Series Masterlist
Warnings: Description of injuries, medical procedures and a slight mention of an experience with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.
A/n: This story will be emotional and reference a lengthy healing journey. I did do research on the medical side of things but some things needed to be tweaked for fictional and entertainment purposes.
Tumblr media
Three days after the accident is when he saw you for the first time. Clay and his dad helped him out of bed and his mom wheeled him next door to your room. Both of your parents were there, standing up to give him a hug and asking how he was feeling, like everyone had been doing every hour since he woke up.
“Have they come in to give you any updates?” He asks immediately when they stepped aside, allowing him to see you. The sight in front of him almost rendered him physically sick. Although you were no longer intubated or on the ventilator and you were breathing on your own, you still hadn’t woken up. A fat purple bruise surrounded your left eye and another one called the upper part of your right arm its home. “Why is her leg propped up?” Jack croaks out, not daring to take his eyes off of you.
The doctor comes in before anyone else in the room can answer. “It’s nice to see you out and about Mr. Harlow. Miss [your last name] is recovering from an endovascular embolization. She had a subarachnoid hemorrhage that was very small and we were able to make an incision in the groin to access an artery and thread it through to the desired area. The entire procedure only took about 25 minutes and we were able to successfully close the blood vessels and stop the bleeding.”
“Now, we just wait and see. Her brain and body have had time to rest and recover so when she wakes up, which we are hoping will be sometime in the next few days, that’s when we’ll know the severity of the injury.”
Five days after the accident, Jack was discharged from the hospital and was forced to go home and shower. The house was eerily silent as he left Clay and Urban downstairs so he could get ready and grab his stuff. He closed his eyes, battling to settle his breathing as he stood under the water. There were flashes of that night, the feeling of his body being violently jerked around from side to side, the sheer feeling of horror at his inability to control the situation. Even though he knew it was irrational, he blamed himself. And he found himself trembling, letting the tears flow freely as he steadied his shivering body by placing his hands on the wall in the midst of the hot stream beating down his back.
He didn’t want to do any of this without you and he was deathly afraid that he might have to.
“Do you remember when we first met?” He asks you, holding one of your hands in both of his, after your family had given him some time alone. The doctors had encouraged people to come in and speak with you, both for your sake and theirs. Jack was ready to take any opportunity he could to connect with you, from wherever you currently were. “I definitely remember the first time I saw you. The new HR Executive fresh out of school, playing babysitter to the head of the division, bringing him his favorite gummy bears and getting his coffee and other useless shit.”
Six years earlier…
You were really starting to hate your dream job. Both you and Cleo, your new best friend as a result of your shared trauma, were hired as assistant human resource officers for the head of the HR department Grant Young. The two of you affectionately called him “cabbage patch” because his features reminded you of a Cabbage Patch Kid. When you weren’t updating company policies or making sure that employees were actually getting the benefits that were promised to them, you and Cleo were cabbage patch’s errand girls. There was less and less human resource management and more picking up dry cleaning and walking his dogs.
“It’s feeling like we’re lap dogs and not actual employees. My business degree is going to waste and I swear to God if I pick up another bag of dog poop I’m going to smear it all over that man’s desk.” Cleo cries into her peanut butter and jelly sandwich. “We are severely underpaid and working way too hard on things that are not our actual jobs y/n. I’m sick of it.”
“I’m not the biggest fan of our arrangement either but we have to pay our dues. Maybe he will realize that our talent is being wasted and it’ll—
Your phone rings, interrupting the pep talk.
“Hello? Yes Mr. Young, of course I can. I’ll be right up.”
Cleo rolls her eyes. “What does the warden want from you now?”
“Headmaster is in a meeting with the CEO and needs me to grab the summary report that he printed off. Because God forbid he come prepared to these things.” You sigh, taking one more bite if your food before making your exit. “I’ll be back.”
“Tell the CEO I said hi. I’ve seen pictures of him on billboard around the city and holy fuck he’s fine.”
Shaking your head with a small laugh, you tell her “I’ll let him know you’re single, see how that goes.”
The first thing you heard when you made your way up to the 18th floor is a booming voice.
“Do you honestly think that this is okay? You’re wasting my fucking time here, Grant.” The voice exclaims.
“Mr. Harlow you don’t understand. My aunt, she’s very sick and I’m going to need to fly home for foreseeable future to be with her.”
The voice lets out a deep, exasperated sigh. “You can have as much time as you need. And pack up your shit while you’re at it. We’re done here.”
“W—Wait,” your boss stutters, “you can’t be serious. I—I love this job and I need it. Please, just let me make it up to you when I come back, I’ll have my assistants take care of everything and—”
“Grant. You’re done here. I’ll give you an hour to clear everything out. You’re free to go, please close the door on your way out. Matter fact, I’ll walk you out.” You can hear the sound of the wheels on the chair rolling around. Mr. Young is near tears when the door is open and your ice meet these icy blue ones that immediately had you looking at the floor, the air in the hallway suddenly felt a little stuffier. He stopped you as you turn to follow your now former boss down the stairs. “Did you need something?” His voice was still tense, a subtle angry vein popping out of his neck as he took a breath.
“Um, sorry sir. I just brought the summary sheets that Mr. Young asked for.” You handed him the sheet and he gently grabbed it out of your shaky hand.
He gave a dry chuckle. “Please, call me Jack. And what should I call you, summary sheet girl?”
I’d rather call you a dickwad, you thought to yourself. “I’m y/n.” You replied dryly. “I should get going, have a great day Mr. Harlow.” Giving him a tight lipped smile, you pushed the button on the elevator, hitting your head on the wall at the thought of working for an actual demon from hell. What kind of person fires someone over taking time off for a sick family member?
“Do you remember that day in the hall? You looked at me like I was a monster. Hated me for the next year. Maybe even a little more. And then we made fun of him over dinner some time after when you found out his aunt Joan gets sick around the same time every year and it was actually code for ‘I’m going to play in a golf in Santa Monica.’” He laughed, getting a little choked up. “Y/n I—I can’t lose you. I’m not strong enough for that. Baby, you gotta wake up. You have to because—” one of his hands came up to cover his mouth as he cried.
There was no movement from you on the bed. He hoped that it would be like the movies, he’d be sobbing at your bedside and you'd open your eyes and reassure him that everything would be okay. But it didn’t happen. He sniffed and grabbed a Kleenex to wipe his nose and took a minute to collect himself.
He took hold of your hand again and held it against his cheek. “You need to wake up because I love you. I need to propose and I need to do it right so I can spend all of eternity getting on your nerves and we can ride off into the sunset together.”
“So please,” he whispers, his bottom lip quivering, “please don’t leave me.”
Eight days after the accident your hospital room could compete with any florist within a 30 mile radius. It could also double as a balloon store. Any and every visitor you had brought a gift. Urban even tried to sneak in a few edibles for you when you were awake but your boyfriend told him not to. And then Clay left the room crying because he wanted his sister back and that was another jab to your boyfriend’s chest.
He was sitting in your room with Cleo absentmindedly scrolling through the tv channels after begging your parents to go to his house and sleep in actual beds for a few hours. Everyone was running on fumes, having literally memorized every square inch of your hospital room floor so it was necessary to take a break from it for a while and get some air. Cleo stood up to rearrange the mountain of presents near the window. She dropped a box of chocolate on the floor and the two swore they saw you move at the sound. And then she saw it, your hand moved.
“Y/n? Can you hear me?” Cleo rushes out, her thoughts of organizing long gone. They waited a bit for another sign, something—anything.
And then your eyes slowly fluttered open and you gave Cleo a warm smile. Jack let out a breath of relief, sitting at the side of the bed and wiped at the fresh set of tears that made their way down his face at the sight of you.
You gave him a look of bewilderment when he sat down. “Cleo…” you whisper, “why is our boss’s boss here?”
He felt like the room was spinning and he was going to pass out. Cleo immediately pressed the call button to alert the staff while Jack got on the phone to let your family know you were awake. They had already been heading back so they arrived a few minutes later, meeting the doctors as they examined you.
Dr. Byers led your parents and Jack outside to deliver the news. Cleo stayed behind to keep you company. “Physically, she’s recovering nicely as we hoped. A bit ahead of schedule even. But she has still suffered an intense trauma to the brain and is suffering from what is most likely post traumatic amnesia where her mind is protecting her from remembering the pain of the accident. It seems to have also erased the last few years of her life.”
“Will she—is she ever going to remember everything?” Your mom asks, looking towards Jack in a way that reeked of pity. Something he’d never experienced before.
“It depends on the situation, sometimes people recover their memories all at once, or in short bursts. It could take a few months, years or not at all. You’ll just have to be patient with her.”
Meanwhile you were nursing a minor headache and a shock to the system. “Me and Jack? Together? Like…together together?” You asked with surprise lacing your tone, rubbing your temples. Maybe you should’ve just stayed asleep.
Just as Cleo was about to respond, your family came in and showered you with love as Jack stood behind them unsure of what to do. Your best friend took him downstairs to grab a coffee and take a walk.
He came back an hour later and let you know he was leaving and that he had to see you in person to let everyone at work know that you were awake and doing better. You stopped him before he could head out the door.
“Cleo told me why you’re really here. Four years Jack? We’ve been together for four fucking years? That means the last thing I remember is from five years ago.” You felt your throat closing up. “I’m so sor—”
“You better not be apologizing to me about a traumatic brain injury that you didn’t ask for.” He states with a dry laugh. “None of this is your fault, okay? None of it. And don’t worry about anything, we’ll figure it out as we go. Cleo’s here, your family is here and I’ll be here for you as well, in any capacity you’re comfortable with.”
Jack sat in the chair next to your bed and continued, “I don’t want you to think that we have to be in a relationship just because that’s what you were told. We can just take life one day at a time.”

Bitch, I lived.
So I had a long post written - one that I meant to share last week - about medical sexism and ER docs who either don’t read or ignore their triage nurses’ notes, but I don’t think I have the spoons to open up another involved discussion about it right now. Dealing with hospital representatives trying to sweep things under the rug is exhausting enough.
Instead, I’ll just say this: I went to the ER four times in one week with the same symptoms, and the first three doctors didn’t even bother to listen to me or run the most basic scans/tests. They sent me home with diagnoses of ‘muscle pain’ and ‘anxiety’. I almost didn’t go back the last time, but when I did, the fourth doc took me seriously… and that ‘muscle pain’ and ‘anxiety’ was actually three pulmonary embolisms.
Yeah.
Took me a while to process it all and the potential outcomes had I not received treatment. I spent the first few weeks in ‘holy fuck, I could have died’ mode, but I’m now firmly into ‘bitch, I lived’ mode and I’m doing a lot of thinking about what I want life to look like from now on.

Therapy Session 10/3/2023
I'm writing about today's therapy session because there's some things I want to remember. This blog also acts as a journal for things related to being a queer Mormon, and going to therapy for an eating disorder is related.
———————————————————
I shared about the hard time I had while in Utah when two lovely people had come to meet me. My leg had fallen asleep and I couldn't get up. A strong Samoan guy had to help. I was so embarrassed. All the feelings of shame about my body, my weight, my eating disorder, of worrying how others view me and wanting to be accepted and loved, all of that came rushing in.
I also shared about this past weekend and General Conference and the homophobic messages and the suggestion that addictions to food are offensive to God. The strong feelings caused me to give into my disordered eating. And even as I was binging, I was mad about it.
He helped me reframe how I think about those instances, highlighting the progress I've made. Being mad as I was binging is an indication that I'm wanting to choose a different destiny, to effect change, and that desire will help me do so. He took it as a very positive emotion in that moment.
We also talked about ways of defusing those emotions and thoughts. We reviewed some pages in a book which I think were helpful.
I shared that when I write about those feelings, it takes these big, amorphous feelings and defines them. They're still powerful but now I'm pouring them into a blog post or onto a page, and that's where they live.
———————————————————
At the end of our session, he surprised me. He remembered that I'm a gay Latter-day Saint and he was doing some research and wanted to talk about something he found with me.
He shared that Jesus said, "Whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will find it." He asked me what my thoughts are on this.
I talked about how if I try to live up to other people's ideas of who I should be and what my life should look like, that it's not my life, I'm living theirs. By trying to save the community and connections I have, I wind up losing myself. But if I am willing to risk losing my community and those who say I must live a certain, I get to live authentic to my heart and beliefs and to who I am, in that way I gain my life.
———————————————————
He had been thinking of the story I shared of having bilateral pulmonary embolism (blood clots in both lungs) and welcoming what I saw as a chance for death. Then deciding to go the hospital where I was put in intensive care and began a year of recovery.
This story helped him see the difference between fate and destiny. Fate is something that happens to us, destiny is something we choose. We can choose to give into our fate. I was fated to have a serious health issue and I wanted to give in and let it end my life. Destiny was deciding to deal with the circumstances, to make choices to move forward towards something different.
I think most queer Mormons do this. We have been fated to be queer, and we are taught a narrative which says we're defective and unworthy and offensive to God. But at some point we say this doesn't serve me, I don't feel this in my heart, and we start making choices to a different belief or a different path, and in that way we lose the life we thought we must have and instead gain a life true for us. We decide that it is better to live

I’m just gonna say this. If they do not have Buck having HONEST TO GOD side effects, I’m gonna sue. He got struck by lightning. A ladder truck or tsunami not having lasting side effects I was able to get past. But LIGHTNING?! Fuck no, he better have some side effects. I literally posted almost every side effect that comes with being struck by lightning. The fact that I don’t think they will give him side effects kinda irks me.
However, my brother brought up something earlier that made me think because it’s such a Buck thing. He sat there and said “well, what if he says he’s fine, but then when no one’s watching he lets the side effects come full force?” And I had to stand there and think about that one. That is something that Buck is ABSOLUTELY prone to do. He is prone to sitting there and saying he’s fine, which was practically what caused the embolism in the first place. So imagine him doing that while probably living with someone instead of on his own (more than likely Eddie or Maddie). They’ll be watching him to the point where they just sit there and say “no you’re not. You’re not fine, but that’s okay. We’re going to help you.”
