Cressway
AN: Hey guys this is my first reader insert for Eddie Diaz. Please enjoy!
Any mistakes are my own
Italics = texts and flashback
The day Eddie Diaz walked into 118 house Y/N knew there was something about him. Aside from his good looks, he had this presence about him that made her feel like she could immediately trust him. It had taken her a while to fully trust her other team mates but some how with him its different. The two of you had become fast friends and spent a lot of your free time together with Christopher and sometimes Buck.
One day things just suddenly changed. There had been a school shooting and somehow the LAPD had not been aware that there were two offenders. Once Athena and her team had the first offender in custody the 118 had been given the all clear to enter the building and help the victims. Y/N and Hen made their way in first. School shootings had always been hard for Y/N, no one but Bobby knew the reason for it but the team had always noticed. Y/N lead the way towards one of the classrooms where she heard crying. “Fire Department, we’re here to help,” she called out. She saw a young man look out the glass before slowly opening the door. “Are you hurt?”
“No but my friend is,” the young man pointed towards another boy who was surrounded by several other students. Y/N made her way over to him. He had taken a bullet to his stomach and had lost a lot of blood. She noticed that the other kids were scared which wasn’t unusual given the trauma they had just been through but none of them tried to leave.  Y/N looked towards Hen who she saw had also noticed.
“Its okay, we’ve got him. If you’re not hurt you can head outside.”
Several of the kids shook their heads, Y/N knew something was wrong. “Hen, we gonna need a back board. He cant walk out here.” Hen reached for her radio but Y/N stopped her. “Can you get it?” The look Y/N gave her made Hen worry but she got up and nodded. As she headed to the door Y/N said, “Tell Cap, it’s Cressway.” Hen looked at her questioningly but Y/N shook her head, “Go, I really need the back board.”
Once Hen was gone Y/N turned her attention to the boy on the ground. It didn’t look good and she really didn’t think he was going to make it, but she had to try. “Ok I’m gonna need some help.” She turned to a young blond girl. “What’s your name?”
“Hayley,” she replied softly.
“Okay Hayley I need you to keep pressure on...”
“Jeremy.”
Y/N smiled lightly, “Jeremy’s wound. Press down really hard ok. Can you do that?” Hayley nodded. “Good.” Y/n leaned down to take a better look and soften her voice, “Who?”
Hayley looked at her before moving her eyes over to the young man who had opened the door. He was pacing now and seemed very agitated. “Okay, we’re gonna get out of here.”
 
Something didn’t feel right and Hen rushed to get the back board. She needed to speak to speak to Bobby but something told her not to do it over the air. She spotted Athena and rushed over. “Have you seen Bobby?”
“He went in after you guys, said something about the library. What’s up?”
“Somethings wrong.”
“Wrong how?”
“Hen,” they turned around as her captain and Eddie came out helping a young wounded girl who was bleeding from her leg. She rushed over.
“Cap, somethings wrong.”
“What is it?”
“Y/N said to mention Cressway.”
“Cressway? What does that mean?” Eddie asked.
Hen was about to say something when she noticed the look on her Captains face, “Where is she?” he asked.
“Inside. Cap what is it?”
“There’s a second shooter.”
“Are you sure?” Athena asked her husband.
“Yes.”
Athena grabbed her radio and called it in just as a gun shot went off.
 
Her ears were ringing, the gun had gone off right next to her ear but she had managed to take down the shooter. She looked up at the scared kids in front of her and told them to leave, “Its safe now.”
They didn’t need to be told twice and raced for the door. Y/n sat down and leaned against the wall, “I really hate school shootings.” She reached for her radio, “All clear, suspect is down.”
Two seconds later Eddie was in front of her, running his hands over her body checking for any injuries. “Hey Diaz, if you wanted to cop a feel all you had to do was ask,” she joked.
“Not funny Hartley.” He got up and reached out his hand before pulling her up alongside him.
“Are you mad at me Eddie?” she asked at the tone of his voice.
“What were you thinking? You could have been killed.”
She put her hands on her hips and glared at him, “I was doing my job. PD gave us the clear. Last I checked I’m a firefighter.”
“You are not a cop. You should have like them handle the guy. When you thought something was up you call in.”
She shook her head, “I’m not arguing with you. I did what I had to diffuse the situation and help those kids.”
“That wasn’t your call.”
“Excuse me? I’m head paramedic.”
That’s enough!” Bobby step in. “Y/n I want you to go get checked out. Diaz go help Buck and the others to search.”
“But Cap,” she began.
“Don’t wanna hear it. That’s an order.”
With one final glare at Eddie, she shook her head and went to follow her boss’ instructions.
 
Pulling back into headquarters Y/n was still fuming at the way her friend and co worker had spoken to her, like she was some sort of child. As soon as the engine came to a stop she hop out and headed straight for the showers. Sitting down on the bench she took a deep breath and allowed herself a chance to process everything.
“Y/n?”
She looked up, “Hi Cap.”
“Wanna talk about it?”
She shook her head, “ Not really.”
He nodded in understanding but still made his way over and sat down next to her. “I know that this was hard for you.”
“Its the job. I’ve handled school shootings before.”
“Not like this one, not since Cressway.”
“I really don’t wanna talk about it.”
“I know. But regardless I want you to take the day.”
“Are you benching me?”
“No, I’m telling you to take the day and do something relaxing. Something that will take your mind off what I know your thinking off. Maybe Luke is around.”
She smiled at the thought of her boyfriend. She nodded, maybe Cap was right. It had been a long day. “Ok.”
He got up and placed a hand on her shoulder. “You did good.”
“ Thanks Cap.”
 
“Eddie?”
The young man looked up from his plate and gave his boss a questioning look. “Yeah?”
Bobby sat down, “What was that about back at the school?”
Eddie knew what he was talking about. To be honest he didn’t even know what had come over him. When he had heard that gun shot go off, it had scared the hell out of him. He couldn’t lose Y/N. She was his best friend. “I don’t know Bobby. When I heard that gun shot, I panicked. I don’t even want to think about losing her.”
“DO you have feelings for her?”
Eddie shook his head frantically, “No way....I mean yeah she’s my best friend.”
“Bobby nodded, “We all care about her Eddie, but we trust each other here. We just each other to do our jobs and that’s what she did.”
“How did you know Cap? About the second shooter?”
“Not my story to tell.” Bobby got up. “Just trust her.”
“Luke, you home?” Yn called out into his apartment as she walked in.
“Hey babe. You’re home early.” the Australian man who had stolen her heart 5 years ago smiled as he walked into the kitchen. He was a lawyer who worked from home and the two had met at the courthouse one afternoon during a fire.
“Hey,” she sighed as he pulled her into his arms.
“Is everything ok?”
“No,” she mumbles into his shirt.
“What happened?”
“School shooting.”
He pulled her tighter, rubbing her back. “Wanna talk about it?”
She shook her head. “Are you busy or can you distract me?”
“Mmm, that depends on what kind of distraction you want,” he smirked.
“Mind out the gutter. I thought maybe a hike.”
“You know I would do anything for you but I have a zoom meeting in like an HR.”
“Its ok.” She reached up and kissed him. “Thought I’d try my luck.”
“How about dinner? That little French restaurant you love so much.”
“Sounds perfect. I’m gonna go on that hike so long. I’ll see you later.”
“Pick you up at 8. Love you.”
“I love you too.”
 
That night as he lay in bed Eddie had the worst nightmare and now he just tossed and turned, unable to get the image of Yn out of his head. He knew it had been just a dream and that she was perfectly safe but the thought of her been hurt, haunted him.
“Hey, you awake?” he messaged her.
“Yep. What’s up?”
“Can’t sleep. U?”
“Me neither.”
“You wanna get some coffee? Christopher is at a friends.”
“Sure, or you could come here?”
“I’ll be there now.”
Sitting on her balcony they had foregone the coffee and we’re nursing a few beers. He could tell she wasn’t herself. “What’s wrong?”
“Today was just hard. And you having a go at me didn’t help.”
“I’m sorry. When I heard the gunshot, I got scared.”
“Ok. I guess it hasn’t missed your attention that school shootings are hard for me.”
“I’ve noticed.”
She sighed. “Back in high school it was just a normal day. All of a sudden during lunch Randy Hurst a senior opened fire. A few of us managed to get out of the lunch hall and hid in the library.”
“Why didn’t you ever say anything?”
“I lost my brother that day. Along with 15 others.”
He took her hand in his, “I’m sorry.”
She smiled at him. “The worst part was that there were two shooters. No one knew about the other boy until he pulled out a gun. He was in the library with us. Police responded quickly and some students were able tackle Randy but Aiden was still there. He had been friends with Luke, my brother. He had run with us and just sat there head in his hands. At the time it didn’t seem weird. We were all scared. But when we heard the sirens Aiden started talking to himself, like he was going mad.”
“Maybe he was having second thoughts?” Eddie asked as he brushed his thumb along her hand.
“That’s what he said. He was prepared and ready but something stopped him and when Randy started shooting, Aiden panicked. He ran with us. I still don’t know what happened, why he hesitated then decided
 shoot in the library. I never asked him, I was too scared.”
“How did it end?”
“We could hear officers coming towards us. Shouting to let us know so we wouldn’t be afraid so some of us got up and tried to get to the door. But Aiden pulled a gun and shot Alicia Mount. He rushed the door and made us get back.
“Second shooter! I repeat we have a second shooter!”
We could hear officers shooting right outside the door bit no one came in. Alicia just lay on the floor, blood pooling from her back.
“Aiden, what the hell are you doing?” my brother Luke asked, voice shaking.
I have never seen him scared before except when our grandpa was sick and dying.
“Get back!!!” the shooter screamed waving the gun in front of Luke.
I walk forward slowly and take my brother’s hand. “Luke…”
“Stay back Ynn.” Luke looked at me and I looked back pleading with my eyes for him to not do any thing stupid. He got the message and moved away slowly from Aiden, one hand raised in surrender, the other clutching mine tightly. A mere few minutes later a young boy, most likely a junior tries to sneak out but Aiden spots him and raises his gun. Luke took the opportunity to tackle the boy. A single shot rings out. Luke grimaces and I knew he had been hit but he won’t let go of the boy. “Run!”
Most of the group didn’t need to be told twice but I didn’t want to leave my brother.
“Dammit Yn go!!!!”
Tears in my eyes I run for the door and as I round the corner I run into a police officer. He is asking me something but I can’t hear him. We have to help Luke. “My brother he’s….” another shot and it’s only because the officer had grabbed onto me tight that kept me from racing to him.
Several other officers slowly make their way towards the library. A few minutes later one comes back and asks me to come with him. I hesitate but follow him. Luke and Aiden are both laying on the floor. “Who is it?”
I point at Aiden who I can see is still alive. Luke is still. The police roughly pull Aiden up and hand cuff him, mindful of his bleeding arm. I rush to my brother.
“Luke? Luke?” he doesn’t open his eyes. His stomach is covered in blood. “Wake up!”
I feel a gentle hand on my shoulder. It’s a paramedic.
“Please help him!”
He nodded as another man joined him and the police man from earlier pulls me up and leads me outside.
“Luke died on the way to the hospital.”
Eddie pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her. “He sounds like a hero.”
She sniffled before pulling back. “He was. So many more could have died that day.”
They sat there for a while before he remembered something. “What’s Cressway?”
“His last name. Aiden Cressway.”
“Where is he now?”
“Locked away for the rest of his life. After the trial my parents moved us to LA. My grandparents on my mom’s side lived here and they felt we needed a new start. When I became a paramedic and joined the department I didn’t tell anyone but when I joined the 118 we had to respond to a shooting at an elementary school. It was my first one since that day and Cap called me out. That’s when I told him everything. He promised it would stay between us and I’ve managed to handle it.”
“That’s why he looked at you before we got to the school?”
She nodded. “He tries to take care of me.”
“He cares about you. We all do.”
The way he said that made her feel different and the way he was looking at her caused her to blush. She took a breath. “Today was the first time I’ve experienced a unknown second shooter.”
“You did a good job today. I over heard some of the kids talking afterwards. You saved their lives.”
“I just thought about what Luke had done.”
“Promise me though you won’t do that again?”
She looked up at him in annoyance. “Can we not do this again Eddie? I did my job.”
“I know.” He threaded his fingers with hers. “But I can’t lose you.”
She soften her look and brushed her free hand against his cheek. “I’m not going anywhere Eddie. But I can’t not do my job.”
“I suppose,” he got up and walked inside and she could see there was something else.
“Is there something you’re not saying?” she got up and followed him.
“Like what?”
“I don’t know Eddie, you tell me.”
“It’s nothing.”
“No please, share what’s on your mind!”
“I can’t lose you!” he snapped.
“We established that already!” she fired back taking a step closer. “Its our job. We’ve been doing it for years. Why all of a sudden are you acting like this?”
“I’m gonna go.”
“Edmund Diaz! I promise if you walk out that door……”
“What? Huh?” he closing the gap between them. “What are you gonna do Yn?”
He was so close that she could feel his breath against her skin. His eyes piercing into hers. She took a shaky breath and took a step back. “What did I do?”
“You could have been hurt or worse.”
She shook her head and tried to walk away, annoyed with the conversation now. He grabbed her hand and pulled her flush against him, lips crashing against hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. Wrapping his hands around her waist he tried to pull her closer, never removing his lips from hers. As his fingers brushed against her exposed skin between her pants and top she gasped. Using it to his advantage he slip his tongue into her mouth. Neither wanted to stop but air was becoming a necessity and when they final broke apart they both had to catch their breath. “I’m in love with you.” He whispered against her lips.
She stepped back, “What?”
He let her step back but refused to let go of her hands. “I’ve been for a while. I only knew for certain when I hard that shot. So many things raced through my mind as I was racing inside. How I might not get to tell you how I feel. How we could be a family, you, me and Christopher. How there is so much I want to do with you and share with you.”
“Eddie?”
“You make my life so much better since you came into it. I always felt like there was this hole, like something was missing and nothing could fix it. Then I met you and you became my best friend. It felt like I had finally found my missing piece.”
“I care about you too, I’ll be honest and say that I do have feelings for you too but I have a boyfriend.”
He nodded sadly, “I know. I just…..I needed you to know.”
“I’m sorry Eddie.”
 
Over the next few weeks things between Yn and Eddie felt awkward and the team noticed. Buck and Chin had tried talking to Eddie and Hen had tried with Yn but neither of the two wanted to talk about it. Exactly 2 months after that kiss Christopher walked into the kitchen and confronted his father.
“Why doesn’t Yn come over anymore? Did you have a fight?”
“Its complicated buddy.”
“Well just tell her you love her and fix it.” Eddie was surprised that his son knew about his feelings and it showed. “I see the way you look at her. How happy you are when she’s around.”
Eddie sighed. “She knows but it’s too late. She has a boyfriend.”
“Its only too late if you give up. And it looks like you have.” Christopher walked out the room.
An hour later Eddie went to his son’s room to try and explain but when he open the door Christopher wasn’t there. “Chris?” he went through the entire apartment calling out for his son, his panic starting to increase. He grabbed his phone and called Yn.
“Hello?”
“Christopher’s gone.”
 
She had just sat down, flipping on the TV when her cellphone rang. Eddie.
“Hello?”
“Christopher’s gone.”
“Where was the last you saw him?” she asked jumping up and racing for the door. As she opened it she felt her the panic in her chest subside. She sighed in relief. “He’s here.”
“I’m on my way “
She put down the call and pulled the young boy into a tight hug well as tight as he would allow. “You scared us. Your dad is worried.”
“I’m sorry.”
After making sure Christopher was all ok and getting him some juice she sat down next to him on the sofa.
“Why did you run away?”
He looked down at the glass in his hand. “You and Dad are fighting and I don’t like it. You never come by anymore.”
She felt ashamed. In the last two months Eddie had done his best to avoid her and at first she had tried but eventually gave up. She hadn’t thought about the boy sitting here. “Christopher, I’m so sorry. What ever is going on with your dad and we shouldn’t have let it affect you.”
“Do you love my dad?”
She sighed, “Yes but it’s not that easy.” She added seeing the hopeful look on his face.
“How come? Is it because of Luke?”
“Luke was a factor yes.”
“Why can’t it just be simple? You love dad and he loves you.”
Before she could answer there was a knock at the door. “How many speed limits did you break?” she jokingly asked Eddie as he stood there.
“A few.”
“He’s on the sofa. Don’t be too hard on him.”
Eddie smiled softly at her, knowing just how much she cared for his son.
“Hey bud. You scared me.” He said sitting down next to him.
“I’m sorry dad. I just wanted to see Yn.”
“I know and I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I made a mistake and it affected you.”
“Does this mean that you too won’t be fighting anymore?”
“I hope not,” Eddie replied glancing over at his friend. She nodded in agreement but had a funny look on her face.
“Hey bud,” he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone and handed it to his son. “I’m gonna chat to Yn real quick. Why don’t you watch something?”
“Ok.”
Eddie smiled before getting up and nudge his head towards the balcony. She silently followed him. After stepping outside he closed the sliding door behind him.
“Did you mean that?” she asked.
“What?”
“Kissing me was a mistake?”
“I don’t know, maybe?” he honestly replied.
“Why?”
“Because it broke our friendship.”
“No, that was you deciding to be an ass.”
“I’m an idiot.”
“No arguments here.”
“Yn, it’s hard. Watching you be with someone else.”
“Well maybe if you had talked to me you would know that Luke and I broke up.”
“What?” he asked.
She nodded. “A month ago.”
“What happened?”
“His brother got in an accident and he went home to Sydney. It was supposed to be for a two weeks but he realized how much he missed Australia and his family. Lucky for him his firm has an office over there.”
“So he just left you?”
“He asked me to go with. But I don’t want to leave LA, my family, the 118….you.”
“Me?” he asked moving closer to her. He didn’t want to get his hopes up but he also didn’t want to miss an opportunity.
“Yeah. I wanted to tell you but you weren’t talking to me and I haven’t really told anyone. They just think he is helping his family and will be home soon. And you’re  seeing someone.”
“Marisol and I went on two dates and that was it.”
“Why?”
“Christopher and you. I thought maybe he was just being difficult. Didn’t like the idea of someone taking his mom’s place. But turns out it’s because it wasn’t you.”
She turned to look at the boy inside, she loved him and she was in love with his dad. She had missed them terribly even though she saw Eddie everyday at work. “So where does this leave us?”
“I miss you, and if we are just friends then I’ll make it work. I just need you.”
“And what if I don’t want to be just friends?” she asked closing the gap between them.
He wrapped his arms around her pulling her closer, then I would be the happiest guy alive.”
“No more fighting or running.”
“Just you and me.”
“And Christopher.”
He chuckled, “And Christopher.” He kissed her.
“Oh,” she pulled back slightly. “And no getting mad at each other for doing our jobs.”
“As long as you don’t do anything risky.”
She arched a brow, “Me?”
He nodded.
“It was one time. You on the other hand…..”
She never got to finish her sentence as he swiftly kissed her once more.
 
Back inside Christopher click on the contact and dialed the number. As soon as it was answered he said with a smile. “Hey Buck it worked.”
If either Eddie or Yn found out Buck had been in on the plan…..he was a died man.
An: please let me know if you want more Eddie Diaz and Yn or if you have any requests.
I also write for Formula one and I'm working on a Dean Winchester X reader 😘

Okay idk abt where y’all are from but my local HS had a paramedic on site for football games at all times.
And considering we’re all down bad for paramedic Steve rn, this feels like a great au (Also, has to be punk Steve bc like, it’s me come on, I want to give Eddie a heart attack.)
Lucas decides he wants to try out for football fall of sophomore year and the part is, begrudgingly supportive.
And max and Dustin are on marching band, so they’re at the games to. And Mike and el and will and Jonathan are just there on the basis of comradely and good friendly support. And of corse Eddie and his van have to be the kids chief mode of transport.
And Eddie doesn’t meet paramedic Steve (cute paramedic Steve with the lip ring and the nose ring and the eyebrow stud) because poor sweet little Lucas got squished by some freak out on the field, or bc his good friend chrissy took a hell of a tumble coming down from a cheer and he’s such a worried friend fussing over her like a mother hen, or bc somehow someway Dustin got whacked in the nose by a flute.
No, he does this all by himself. All his own brilliance. He went to check on the Byers + co contingency before going back to hovering over his little band babies + his two accidentally adopted jocks, and takes a fucking header off the bleachers. Clears a good 3 feet if he doesn’t say so himself.
So sweet pretty paramedic Steve of corse rushes over to him in an instant, sitting him up against the side bleachers, shining a light in his eyes, asking where he is, when it is, his name, and they’ve got a little crowd of the byers + wheeler + the little Mayfield and Henderson but Steve’s paying them no attention and Eddie doesn’t even see them.
The paramedic introduces himself as Steve, he says “I’m Steve and I’m gonna make sure that you’re feeling okay tonight, okay sir?” And eddie nods dumbly.
And Eddie is answering sure, but he’s really making Steve worried bc he’s so wide eyed and taking a second to answer and it’s just worry some (he’s having a very in love mental breakdown, okay, let him be. He’s speed running visions of a life together. He’s understanding what “love at first sight” means for the first time in his life.). He’s got a the man he didn’t even know was in his dreams fussing over him. He’s going to explode.
“If I knew I’d have such a cute paramedic I’d have fallen off that wayyyy earlier tonight” Eddie says then slams his mouth shut and goes wide eyed in horror. Steve just laughs, a beautiful sound. Not at Eddie, no it doesn’t feel taunting, it’s a beautiful sweet sound.
“We’ll, if you’re thinking clearly enough to hit on me I think you’re heads definitely okay. Do you have a headache at all? Any dizzyness? You took a hell of a header, Eddie.”
Eddie shakes his head. “No just like my actual nose hurts from smacking into the dirt”.
Steve nods. “May I?” “Corse man it’s your job”.
Steve chuckles. “Stop making me laugh man, I’m on the clock. Does this hurt?” “No” Eddie answers in the most nasally voice with Steve’s fingers still squeezing his nose and he wants to die because what was that sound? But Steve just smiles softly. “Good, awesome. No pain? Breathing okay?”. Eddie nods dumbly. “So I’m gonna bet it’s just sore from smacking into the dirt, not broken.”.
Eddie nods dumbly. Again. For the 20th time that night. He can’t function. “So why don’t we just get these cuts here cleaned up?” Steve decides, reaching into his bag for a million supplies. “Think I’m gonna get any cool scars?” “Nah sorry man, not with these little guys. But it’s for the best, why mess with perfection anyway, right?” Steve winks dabbing some shit that BURNS on Eddie’s cheek before putting on a bandaid and Eddie might be going into cardiac arrest.
“I like your uh, piercings” Eddie spurts out like an idiot.
Steve grins. “Thanks. Got a peak of those bats when I first came over, got any more?”. Eddie snorts a laugh. “Yeah a shit ton. Nothing easy to see though my uncle would hang me if I made myself any less hirable”. Steve chuckles at that. “Hey man the whole f-d is all old military dudes covered in their shitty navy tats, i wouldn’t be too worried.” “Oh so there’s more where this came from? Maybe I should fall more” Eddie taxes, just a little. “Watch it” Steve chuckles.
“Okay I think you’re pretty patched up, handsome. But considering everything don’t drive tonight, especially if you have passengers. You have a ride home? Someone to call?” “Yeah I’ll just make it one of my friend Jonathan’s problem, that’s fine”.
“Okay, good” Steve nodded, taking out a small pen and pad from his pocket and writing something. “And this friend Jonathan… he’s not a boyfriend, right?”.
Eddies jaw fucking drops. Literally drops. He’s going to spontaneously combust. “Nah, no, nope man” he stutters out. “Okay, gotcha. If anything starts hurting tonight, if you get dizzy, any nose bleeds, give me a call. Or… you know, when you’re feeling better give me a call too”. He hands eddie the piece of paper with a smiley face and the name ‘Steve (the paramedic)’ with 10 scrawled numbers on it, as he stands up, offering eddie a hand up himself.
Eddie doesn’t want to think about the strength steve has that this that easy to lug his 160 pounds of trailer trash ass up. Or how he feels about what looks like the singular inch steve has on him, even in his boots.

i think when steddie have their first baby (not sure if they have more) it's an accidental pregnancy. eddie's been on t long enough that he didn't really think he still could get pregnant, and he hasn't had his period in a while, so it takes him a second to realise why he's been so nauseous lately. wayne picks up the test for him, and waits outside the bathroom door while he takes it. eddie'd moved in with steve like a year ago, but he's so off-kilter he needs waynes stability right now.
the test is positive. eddie walks outside the bathroom and wordlessly hands wayne the test. wayne sees it, puts a hand on eddies shoulder, and asks if this is good news. and now eddie has to think. he always kind of wanted kids, abstractly, and he knows steve does too (six of them, the mother hen), but he always thought that it would be some time nebulously in the future. he feels too young right now, still feels like a kid himself, even if he is in his mid-20s. and carrying a pregnancy to term is resigning himself to at least 9 months of definite misgendering. but also he's not sure he'll ever get a chance like this again. he hasn't had a period in years, so he kind of assumed his uterus was just like. dust and cobwebs at this point. it's probably an act of god this happened in the first place, like what are the chances?
and then he looks down at his stomach. again, it took him a while to realise anything was up, so he's about two months along now and just starting to show, even though his bump is still small enough he thought he was just getting fat. and he thinks about the little bump of life inside of him. his and steve's baby. thinks of him and steve raising it together. and he thinks it might be good news.
but first he has to tell steve. it goes well. mostly well. at first when eddie says he and steve need to talk, all serious and sitting him down at the kitchen table, steve has a minor panic attack thinking eddie's gonna break up with him. but they smooth it over, and eddie tells him he's pregnant. honestly, steve's elated. but then he thinks about eddie, who's a dude, and maybe won't want to go through such a traditionally feminine ordeal as pregnancy. steve'd carry their baby himself if he could (don't read into that, steve), but he doesn't want to accidentally guilt eddie into it if he doesn't want to. so they go back and forth for a bit like 'how do you feel about it' 'idk how do you feel about it' 'idk how do y-' but they eventually do talk it out like the adults they are. eddie can handle it, for their baby. and yeah their apartments kinda small, but it's big enough for one more (robins gonna have to give up her allocated guest room, but don't worry, she's cool with it), and money will be tight, but eddie knows how to make a pay check stretch
eddie's pregnancy is kinda rough. nothing goes seriously wrong, but no obstetricians know how to deal with a pregnant man, and the constant misgendering wears him down a little. the constant pissing and back pain and foot pain and everything pain really don't help matters. but at night he lays down next to steve, who curls around him and lays a hand on his stomach, and they feel their baby kick together. and he thinks it's probably worth it
their baby girl is born in the fall, happy and healthy. they name her alexis (lexie munson), and she grows up into the weirdest little kid ever, with two parents (and aunty nancy and aunty robin and uncle dustin and-) who love her very much. she collects bugs and plays dnd and loves metal and climbing trees. she joins the softball team (that night eddie cries himself to sleep while stevie gloats) and always gets one of her aunts to help her with her homework because her parents are helpless. stevie almost cried the first time she asked, no idea what was going on there.
they're not a normal family, and sometimes lexi gets teased for this. but she goes home to two parents who love her so much, who always support her and her passions, and who would do anything to put a smile on her face. so yeah, not a normal family, but a very, very happy one.

16. “Why? Because I’m in love with you, that’s why!”
For the valentines day prompts if you want 💕
“hey, firefighter—buckley.” the sultry voice pauses for a second as the woman reads the name on his turnout jacket, and then she goes right back to full force flirtation. “i’ve got one more fire you could put out.”
somewhere to his left, chimney snorts so loud buck’s surprised he didn’t spray pieces of his lunch everywhere. as much as he’s tempted to turn to look, he sighs and turns to the woman beside him.
“ma’am, i’m on duty,” he says. “i don’t flirt when i’m on duty.” he doesn’t glance over at eddie when he says this. really, he doesn’t. “are there any fire-related things i can assist you with?”
“only the fire in my—” she starts. buck’s eyebrows fly up, and he hastens to cut her off with a loud “okay then!”
it’s not that she’s not cute. gorgeous, even, with long dark hair and piercing blue eyes. it’s just that—
he’s on duty.
the girl sighs, then tucks a piece of paper into the pocket of his turnout jacket. “maybe you can call me when you’re off duty,” she says, and turns to leave with an impressive flip of her hair.
he climbs into the back of the engine, and the air is tighter than a newly tuned guitar string until buck sits down and everyone explodes.
“i’ve got a fire you could put out,” chimney croons, while eddie reaches into buck’s pocket. he’s too caught up in the feeling of eddie’s hand fumbling around to realise what he’s doing, until eddie holds up the piece of paper with a flourish.
“pay dirt!” hen cries when she sees what eddie’s holding. “go on, buck, call her.”
“i’m not going to call her,” buck says. he tries to sound resolute, but it mostly comes frustrated. “why would i call her?”
“well, buck,” chimney says in his patented big-brother voice. “when you call women, sometimes you can go on dates with them.”
“who says i want to go on a date with her?” buck asks.
“it’s valentine’s day,” hen says. “isn’t that what you’re all about? i seem to remember a whole speech about how valentine’s day is the best time to go on a first date.”
buck sighs. “that’s not me anymore. that was buck—i don’t know, i forgot how the numbering went. buck 1.0? i’m not that guy anymore.”
“i know,” eddie murmurs beside him, nudging an elbow against his. “but you could still call her. she could be nice.”
the engine pulls into the app bay, and everyone climbs out. hen and chimney head towards the ambulance to check on stocks, and buck aims a moody kick at an unrolled pile of hose. “i don’t care how nice she is,” he mutters. “i don’t want to call her.”
“buck—” eddie starts, and when buck turns to look, he sees eddie has his sincere face on. the buck i really think this could be good for you face. the buck please just give it a try face. which—isn’t that just a kick in the pants.
eddie sincerely wants buck to call this girl. which would be fine, except for the part where buck kind of really wants to marry eddie and have his babies.
in a metaphorical sense, that is. he’s open to it if eddie is, but he’s pretty sure christopher is enough kid for the both of them.
except none of that is happening, because eddie wants him to call this random girl he met ten minutes ago.
“i’ll think about it,” he mutters, and stalks off in the direction of the bunk room.
and he does think about it. he thinks about it for the rest of the shift, and in the shower, and in the jeep on his way home. he stews about it, to be exact. he thinks about it all the way to getting his phone out and opening the dial pad, and then he puts his phone back in his pocket and grabs his car keys and drives to eddie’s house without thinking about much of anything at all.
“i’m not gonna call her,” buck says as soon as eddie opens the door, wearing cutoff sweats and an old LAFD t-shirt they’ve stolen back and forth from each other so many times buck no longer remembers which of them it belonged to first.
“who?” eddie says, blinking, and buck pushes past him into the house, brushing against him as he walks by, and it takes everything in him to take three more steps and stand in the middle of the living room instead of just attaching himself to eddie.
“the girl from the call today,” buck says. “with the—” he makes a gesture that’s supposed to encompass all of the flirting, but he doesn’t think the meaning really carries. “she gave me her number. but i’m not going to call her.”
“i—okay,” eddie says, still blinking. “and you drove out here to tell me?”
“yeah,” buck says. “i’m—i needed to tell you. you needed to know.”
“that you’re not going to call some girl?” eddie asks. “why?”
“why?” bucks repeats, and chokes out something that might have tried to be a laugh. “because i’m in love with you, asshole, that’s why, so you can just stop trying to talk me into calling—”
he’s cut off by eddie’s hands cupping his face, eddie’s mouth on his, clumsy and eager. “oh, thank god,” eddie murmurs against his lips, then kisses him again.
“eddie—why—” buck mumbles when they finally break apart, eddie’s forehead resting against his. buck’s hands have found their way to eddie’s waist and he clings to him now like a lifeline, trying to understand what just happened.
“why did i kiss you?” eddie asks, and it’s all buck can do to nod.
“because i’m in love with you, asshole,” eddie says, a grin forming at the corners of his mouth, and kisses him again.
this time, buck gets with the program.

don't cry my sweet, don't break my heart. -> w.rojas

WARNINGS: profanities
SYNOPSIS: Warren being a good dad and having a little crisis about his little girl growing up word count: 1,524
NOTES: This was written for this request! This is also part of the mariposaverse, other related fics can be found on my masterlist!
The park was crowded, and you could tell that Warren was nervous. He was sizing up the play structures and all the children playing on them like he could calculate the exact risk of allowing Mariposa to play on it in his head. 
“Warren, it’s a park. It’s designed for children,” you said gently, laying a fortifying hand on his arm. He only clutched Mariposa closer to his chest, the little girl’s squirming and pointing towards the playground not getting through to him at all. 
“I can see, like, thirteen different ways she can get hurt just from here,” he said, eyes still scanning the playground. You laughed, and tried to cover it unconvincingly with a cough. You had never seen this worried, protective side of Warren before Mariposa. He had been the most careless, go-with-the-flow person you knew, until you told him you were pregnant. The transformation into fussy mother hen happened almost overnight, and doubled in intensity when she was born. Ever since Mariposa had learned to walk, and, in turn, learned to get into things she wasn’t supposed to get into, this side of him had intensified exponentially. 
“It’s not like we’re just letting her loose in there,” you reminded him. “You’ll be with her wherever she goes, baby. She’ll be okay.” 
Warren heaved a sigh. “Fine, we’ll give it a try.” 
“You’re so brave,” you deadpanned. Warren nodded to himself, trying to psych himself up. Eventually, he bent over to stand Mariposa on the grass. Immediately, she began toddling toward the playground, attempting to move faster than her chubby little legs could carry her. Warren was there, always just a step behind her, catching her before she could fall and resetting her on her path. 
When she finally reached the playground, it seemed that the sight of so many rowdy children in one place bewildered her. Prior to this moment, the only other child she had known was mild-mannered little Julia, who sat patiently while Mariposa chewed on her dolls and shared her snacks without even being asked to. 
Warren watched her hesitate on the edge of the playground, the worry seeping back into his eyes. “Maybe it’s too soon? All these kids are bigger than her. One wrong move and somebody’s gonna flatten her.” 
“She’s gonna be fine,” you reassured him. “You’ll be right next to her the whole time, right? There’s no safer place for her to be.” 
A determined look settled on Mariposa’s face, and she walked further into the playground, Warren right on her tail. Once you were satisfied that he wasn’t going to pick her up in a panic and make a run for it, you made your way to one of the benches bordering the mulch with the stroller, sitting down to watch them. 
By some miracle, Warren finally seemed to relax as he watched Mariposa discover the park for the first time. He still steered her away from the taller, scarier play structures or anywhere with too many kids, but he let her sit down and throw mulch around and pull herself up the little flight of stairs to the smallest slide in the park. You pulled a paperback out of the pocket on the back of the stroller, and settled in to try to read a bit. 
After a few pages, you glanced up to check on your little family, and saw Warren standing alone on one side of the park, head whipping around frantically. A second later, he zeroed in on Mariposa, who had managed to get a few feet away from him somehow. She was running towards something you couldn’t see. Warren called her name, but she wasn’t listening, too determined to get to whatever it was that had caught her attention. 
He started after her, but it was too late; you watched as one of her feet caught on the other, sending her tumbling down into the mulch on her hands and knees. She looked up at Warren, her lips puckering into a heartbreaking pout as her dark eyes welled with tears. You shot up from the bench, book and stroller abandoned, picking your way across the playground towards them. By the time you got there, Warren was sitting in the mulch with her, swiping the tears from her face with his thumbs. 
“You’re okay, mi vida,” he said, voice gentle and calming. “It’s just a little scrape, see? We’ll get you home and fix you right up.” 
“Papà,” she said, voice watery, her arms reaching for him to pick her up. He did so carefully, arranging her in his arms so that he didn’t irritate the scrape on her knee. When he turned around, the look on his face was so sad you could almost feel your heart breaking. When Mariposa caught sight of you, the tears started up again. 
“Oh, my little butterfly, did you take a spill?” you asked, wiping away her tears yourself this time. Her mouth was still drawn into a pout as she snuggled into Warren’s chest. He insisted on carrying her the whole way home instead of strapping her back into the stroller, and by the time you reached the house, she was fast asleep in his arms. 
“I’ll go get neosporin and a band-aid,” you whispered once inside. “We’ll try to do this without her waking up?” Warren nodded, standing as still as possible in the entryway. You ran to the bathroom and grabbed what you needed from the first aid kit. Slowly, Warren straightened out Mariposa’s little leg, pausing any time she stirred even slightly. You dabbed on the neosporin and gently smoothed on the band-aid, cheering inwardly when you got through the whole thing without her waking. After, Warren crept slowly down the hallway, carefully depositing her in her bed and backing out of the room. 
Once the door was safely closed behind him, he turned and sighed, running a hand down the side of his face. 
“I have played sold out fucking stadiums, and still I have never felt as stressed out as I did when I watched her trip and fall,” he said, his voice tight. You walked over to him, looping your arms around his neck. His arms automatically went around your waist, forehead resting against yours. 
“Are you really this stressed over her tripping?” 
Warren paused for a moment, turning the question over. “I just… I should have been able to protect her from it. I should be able to protect her from everything.” 
“It’s a hard pill to swallow, but, honey, this is only the first of many things you aren’t going to be able to protect her from,” you said gently. 
“I know you’re right, but that doesn’t mean I have to accept it,” he responded, and some of the tightness had gone from his voice. “Me not being able to keep her in a little bubble forever means she’s starting to grow up, and I don’t want her to.” 
You laughed, trying to suppress the sudden urge to cry at the idea of your little baby growing up. “Believe me, I would’ve kept her as small as the day she was born forever if I could. Watching her grow up is going to be hard, but it’s going to be so good, too. Besides, we’ll have each other through it all, right? You will always have me to lean on through all the hard spots.” 
You leaned your head against his chest, and Warren slotted his chin on top of it, his hands rubbing up and down your back. “You will always have me to lean on, too, mi corazón. But if I’m honest, I’m probably going to have to lean on you a whole lot more. Raising a daughter might actually kill me. I’m gonna spend every second of the rest of my life worrying about that kid.” 
“You and me both, baby,” you laughed. “But, for the record, you are doing a wonderful job so far.”
Warren pulled back, looking down at you with an eyebrow raised. “I just let her eat shit on the playground an hour ago.” 
“You didn’t let her do anything. She just did what kids are always gonna do,” you shrugged. “And you were there to dry her tears and make her feel safe and loved after the fact. You’re a good dad, Warren. Better than good. I’m proud of you, you know that?” 
Warren looked slightly aback at your words, a surprised smile growing on his face. “I worry every day that I’m gonna fuck that kid up, but if you really think I’m doing a good enough job to be proud of me, then maybe she’ll be alright.” 
“Are you kidding? She’s gonna be amazing. Any kid of ours is gonna grow up to be amazing, it’s in their genes,” you said emphatically, and Warren laughed. 
“For the record, I’m proud of you, too. Every day,” Warren said earnestly. “You’re kicking ass at this mom gig.” 
“Almost as much as I kick ass at my musician gig,” you nodded seriously. 
“Almost,” Warren agreed, chuckling. “We should take a nap now while we have the chance.”

Does vincent have a favorite dad *Whispers* Don't worry I won't tell anyone if he does.
Tumblr media
Please vote for nameless au so we can tie
Vinny never had a favorite dad. All of them were different and cared so much about him in different ways. But it was so obvious that they all loved him unimaginably and so did he. The amount of love he has for each of them is more than her knowledge of words can describe and she doesn't have a favorite because she can't even compare them.
BUT
That's not what y'all are here for.
Although vinny never had a favorite, she always had one that she was the closest with. The most comfy and felt the best to be around. But it depends on which part of her life you're asking
Tumblr media
New born and later, baby vinny was without a doubt the closest to leo. He monitored her every second, fearing she's gonna die. Not leaving her alone for a second.
During the time she was the tiniest, he made a baby wrap with his mask to keep her close and later it just became the norm to do daily tasks while carrying her.
He was the first dad vinny named. He's her "bawa" and he did cry for a good hour and half after that interaction, realizing that she's the most precious thing in his life and he doesn't know how to keep her safe forever.
Tumblr media
Toddler vinny and raph are best friends.‌ Vinny is filled with energy and curiosity and although they all spend time with her, try to teach her different things, and just make her giggle; Raph surprisingly (to no one but himself) is the best one with kids. He would spend hours playing with blocks and hair clips and go collect more for her every late night so he can surprise her in the morning. Although vinny loves them the same, she prefers to play with raph because he's the cool dad who has secretly taken her to ride on a motorcycle but she can't ever tell leo or they're both dead.
Tumblr media
Ever since vinny started school (yes he goes to school thank you online education!) Mikey and vinny got a lot closer. Legally, there should be a guardian who moderates their education and mikey had so much fun helping. He always wanted to go to school and tho he knew a LOT of stuff (thanks to splinter and donny taking education VERY seriously) he has so much fun learning history and science and it makes him incredibly happy.
Vinny's papa is a very important person in their class and the kids love him. No one knows they're a turtle and an axolotl. But they love them and respect that they won't show their faces
Arts and crafts are their favorite and they love making craft together. This specific doodle is from when they made a gift for one of Vinny's classmates for his birthday.
Tumblr media
DONNIE HOWEVER gets the angsty teenager. You can't raise a kid away from society and not get an angsty chaotic teenager who decides to trust humans and be cool and gets emotionally DESTROYED by horrible people.
She doesn't want his dads to know about her. She's distant she doesn't want them to know what she's doing. And donny is no doubt the chilleset papa. Leo is going crazy trying to mother hen her to make sure she doesn't do anything stupid. Raph is over protective and wants to fight her negative emotions, her bad feelings, and anyone she talks to. Mikey keeps trying to bond with his little kid and struggles to let go of that closeness.
Donny however knows how to be supportive and keep his distance. To be extra careful of their boundaries and the same time not let her distance herself.
This specific doodle is set after the first time vinny revealed himself to some of his human "friends" and they started hurting him, throwing stuff at him, and calling him mean things. After they left he took his shell cell and called donny, even tho he was supposed to be home and already asleep. Not saying a word just calling and then texting please pick me up.
Donny was there 8 minutes later. Helping her in the car. They had a quiet car ride. No words exchanged. When they came back home and started walking towards their own room donny looked at her with a smile "i love you vinny! I love you and I'm proud of you." He said. "I'm always proud of you and you are the most important thing in my life. I'm so glad i was blessed with you." And then, he starts walking away. She immediately runs to him, hugging him and started sobbing.
"I'm never trusting anyone ever again!" She sobbed trying to catch her breath. "I know honey. I know." He responded in a sad, bitter tone. Did he agree with her? Not exactly. Trusting would be much much harder but not impossible. That's not what she needed to hear tho. He'd help her process and heal later. Right now, he didn't know how bad the situation was, how hurt she was physically. But he knew his feelings were absolutely wrecked. And the best he could do was to support her.
Thank you so much for reading this and thanks for supporting nameless au. There's still time to vote for me so i can tie with big sis leo.
But regardless I'm grateful for you guys. Before this competition i was very insecure about my AUs thinking no one would like them. Specially an oc adoption au? I only shared with a few close friends
But now i have people who actually care for this au. Who care for vinny. Who enjoy my brain coming up with random shit.
I get asks, i made friends and I'm so happy to be in this place. Regardless of winning or loosing or getting a tie, I'm so happy to have come so far.
Hey @turtle-tot-tournament here's my biggest propaganda in hope for a tie. I'm so happy to be in this competition and I'm so grateful for having the most awsome poll master. Being a poll master myself, i can see how hard you've worked and i appreciate you so so much <3

Hurt/Comfort Buddie fic recs
This list will include all ratings and tags, so read at your own discretion! :)
Break In by soft_satan - Rated T
“9-1-1 what is your emergency?” “Break in,” he gasped as the rattling doorknob stopped. Buck gave their address quickly as he grabbed the bat he kept under his side of the bed. “I saw at least two men. No idea if they're armed.”
5-4-3-2-1 by elisela - Rated G
For all the times that Eddie has practiced getting into his turnout suit in record time, he never bothered figuring out how to get out of it just as fast. He would be regretting that if he could think about anything other than the fact that Buck went over the pier rail twenty-six seconds ago, and disappeared into the dark water seventeen seconds ago.
you know I wanna be the one to hold you when you sleep by ashavahishta - Rated G
He doesn’t see it. He barely even hears it, the sounds of struggle on the edge of his awareness as he and Hen roll the patient onto a stretcher. Bobby will tell him later that the guy had broken free from Buck, pushed him hard enough for Buck to lose his footing and trip backwards into the skate bowl. What Eddie does hear is the sickening dull thud of Buck’s head hitting concrete.
Snap, Crackle, Pop. by wolfypuppypiles - Rated T
Eddie pulled his phone out of his pocket, standing to answer its ringing call. “Hey, Buck.” “Dad.” Eddie spun on his heel, smile warming up his chest at his son’s voice. “Hey, buddy. Where’s Buck? You guys having fun?” “We fell.” AKA Buck gets hurt and its Christopher who has to save him
(hurt) thy neighbor by autumnchills - Rated T
“He’s armed,” is all he says into the phone before standing from his spot. He shoves his phone into his pocket and steps out, hands raised. Sure enough, the man has a gun pointed at him, but if he looks closely enough… Buck squints. Color him surprised. “Is that you—” “Don’t!” The man yells, jerking his hand with the gun aggressively. “Don’t you dare fucking say my name, Buckley.” In which things get bad fast when Buck's neighbor breaks into his apartment thinking that he isn't home.
The Blazin' Challenge by datleggy - Rated G
Buck has an allergic reaction at buffalo wild wings and the firefam is there for him. Also they finally realize Buck and Eddie are an item--by accident.
not ready to let go by theosbuckley - Rated G
"Hey, Eddie!" Chim calls him as he leaves the fire station, "This came in for you, there's no return address." Eddie's heart drops almost immediately and he rushes to Chim, almost ripping the envelope from his hand. "Woah there, this better not be some weird fetish thing." "Shut up Chim!" He snaps back. Edmundo Buckley-Diaz Firehouse 118, Los Angeles, California United States of America or in which i'm sorry for doing this (but not really)
It's Ok Now by datleggy - Rated G
On his day off, Buck takes Christopher to the doctor--just for a cold, no big deal--until it suddenly might be and Buck is alone and nobody is picking up their phone.
we're gonna be okay, kid by honestlydarkprincess - Rated G
The last thing Buck is expecting is to be woken up from his ill advised mid-morning nap with a call from Christopher's school, telling him that Chris is sick and should go home. He can't leave his favourite kid to fend for himself so even though Eddie might get mad at him, again, he's on his way to pick up Chris before he can even think about it. Set during the lawsuit, post-grocery store scene.
a leaf falls on loneliness by iimpossible_things - Not Rated
Buck doesn’t think that if he were to say, “I’m in a bad place”, that anyone would turn him away. Really, he doesn’t. The 118 has too many good, kind people for that. But every time he wants to open his mouth, to say something, to reach out to Eddie or Bobby or Hen or Chim, he hears Eddie yelling, “you’re exhausting.” —you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting— So each day he does his job and he laughs and he jokes and he pretends he’s the care-free goofball he’s always been. And each day he packs away his bruises and his worries, takes them home to his empty loft with its quiet rooms, and licks his wounds in silence.
Buy Back the Secrets by allyasavedtheday - Rated T
He casts his gaze to the right, to the voice he’d heard a minute ago and the hand still on his shoulder. And, well. Okay. So Buck may have just been unconscious for an indeterminable length of time but he doesn’t think he’s exaggerating when he says the guy leaning over his bedside is one of the most attractive people he’s seen in a long time. Especially when his face splits into a smile that rivals the brightness of the hospital lights that almost just fucking blinded Buck a second ago. “Welcome back, hotshot,” the guy says and it sounds fond – familiar – and Buck honestly has no idea who this guy is. His brown hair is dishevelled on top of his head and his eyes look tired but then Buck notices the LAFD t-shirt so- alright. Someone from the firehouse, maybe? But he’s pretty sure he’d remember a face like that. * After getting hurt on a call, Buck wakes up thinking it's 2018. AKA Buck can't remember who Eddie is but he's pretty sure everyone's lying when they say they're "just friends."
Leave the Light On (I'll Be Coming Home) by HMSLusitania - Rated M
“We’re here for our grandson,” Helena says. “Chris is still sleeping,” Buck says. “I meant, we’re here to take him back to Texas,” Helena clarifies. “Yeah,” Buck says. He’s too tired, way too tired to be tactful. “Over my dead body.” -- An accident on a call leaves Buck with custody of Chris after Eddie is... missing presumed. While they navigate their new family circumstances -- and fight to stay together, despite Eddie's parents' best efforts -- a John Doe wakes up in a coma ward with no memory of his own life beyond the knowledge he has a son named Christopher and, somehow, he needs to get home.
Of Bikes and Concussions by datleggy - Rated G
Buck gets into an accident on his way to work in the morning, and before he can explain why he's late, he gets thoroughly chewed out and the rest of his day goes way downhill from there.
it’s okay by itsmylifekay - Not Rated
Finally back with the team, Buck isn’t going to let anything tear him away again. He has to prove his place, his part in the family, even if that means smiling through the pain. Or, Buck gets hurt on a call and doesn’t tell anyone.
don't tell my husband (he'll kill me) by coupe_de_foudre - Rated T
All Bobby has to say, as Buck is hightailing it towards danger, is a low, threatening, “Don’t make me call Eddie.” and Buck will skid to a stop, pause, and eventually turn around and slink back towards the team like a scolded dog with his tail between his legs.
Frequent Flyer by red_to_black - Rated M
In his entire time being a firefighter, Eddie has never met anyone as accident-prone as Evan Buckley. And Buck - well, he's quickly becoming the 118's best customer. (Or - the one where Eddie is a firefighter, Buck isn't, and Eddie finds himself rescuing Buck from increasingly sticky situations. Sometimes literally.)
Love Language by red_to_black - Not Rated
The one in which there's too much pollen around, Eddie pines, and Buck is oblivious. Or - Eddie's love language is acts of service, and Buck doesn't totally get it.
17 Steps to Inevitability by allyasavedtheday - Rated T
“Thanks for clearing it with Cap,” he says lowly, feeling oddly self-conscious under Buck’s knowing gaze. Because just Buck shrugs like it’s not a big deal, claps him on the shoulder and squeezes once. “Of course,” he says earnestly. “I told you he wouldn’t mind.” Eddie swallows back an emotion he doesn’t know how to name and bumps their shoulders together as they head for the stairs. He’d forgotten friendship could be like this, forgotten what the unconditional support of having a team around him felt like. He’s not sure he’s ever had friends like this though. * Eddie doesn't plan for Buck to become part of his and Christopher's family; it just sort of happens. He doesn't plan to fall in love with Buck either; that just sort of happens too.
waiting on the sunrise by autumnchills - Rated T
When Buck left home, it was a rushed decision. He didn’t know where he was going or what he was going to do, but he had a high school diploma and enough street smarts to make it as far from his father as possible.
It's been nearly ten years since then, and now his father is in town. Buck quickly learns that some things haven't changed.
But other things have, and his family will help him realize that.
Whiplash by soft_satan - Rated G
She parked near him and got out, avoiding the puddle as she approached him. Hands on her hips, she shook her head in pity. “What on earth happened to you?” He looked up at her with a pained smile, his shoulders instantly sagging with relief at the sight of her. “I got carjacked.” ... Thanks to a lack of communication, a horrific accident leads the team to fear the worst.

ok i finished 911, and now that i have can you tell me more about the buck and eddie vision with any spoilers you might have been avoiding before
Okay so first lemme link you to my PowerPoint that’s goes through season 2 up the 6.09
And honestly the second half of season 6 is what has really stepped on the gas. When Buck got struck Eddie lost all sense of self preservation and just had to get to Buck, has to make sure he was okay. He ran up the ladder after just getting struck himself, without his line secured, while screaming Buck’s name. Then we he got there he tried to pull Buck up to him before realizing he was too heavy. Then he’s so quick to get back down to them, Bobby has to force Eddie away from Buck while chim is coding him and Bobby makes Eddie drive.
Then in the next episode Eddie switches out with chim and it’s actually Eddie to start Buck’s heart again, this show has had a lot of subtext and parallels when it comes to hearts and the fact that Eddie was the one to get his partners beating again just makes me scream. Then when the doctors say they’ll do their best it’s Eddie who yells at them desperately to “do more.” While Buck is in his coma Eddie is seen in all black like a mourning spouse when Christopher insists on seeing Buck. Eddie then sneaks his son into the icu to see Buck and then he can barely even look at Buck just lying there, and Hen has to take over explaining while Eddie just silently cries. The people closest with Buck were the ones who really struggled to look at him and those people were Maddie and Eddie. They just constantly frame Eddie so differently with Buck as opposed to the other members of the firefam.
A lot of us also believe that Buck didn’t see Eddie in his coma world because he might not have been able to leave, because with Eddie is his home, his safe space. It’s shown to be canon when Maddie keeps sending over babysitters for Buck. Buck could’ve gone anywhere or even just locked his door with a note pasted on it. But no, when Buck was overwhelmed by the world and his place in it, he went to Eddie’s and fell asleep before Eddie could even come back with a beer.
Couches are another explicit metaphor in season 6 which was established when Buck said he didn’t want to pick the wrong couch again. Then he chose himself by positioning his arm chair in the center of the room. Well then his mom came and forced a couch on him, an uncomfortable one he can’t seem to sleep on, but the couch he did manage to sleep on was Eddie’s!
Then we get to the poker date episode of it all. So first of all Eddie and Chris just come to Buck’s apartment to hang out and help Chris with homework and that’s the most married co-parenting shit I’ve ever seen. And when Buck looks at his two boys he just has the most content expression in his face. Then Eddie, knowing that Buck’s been sad, starts little schemes to cheer Buck up! Then they go out together in the nicest suits we have ever seen them in and Buck is just down for anything because its Eddie even though he has absolutely no idea what’s gonna happen. To have that level of trust with someone! Also when they talk about Buck being dead, everyone keeps saying he was dead for three minutes. But it is Eddie that points out that Buck was dead for three minutes and seventeen seconds. This man knows down to the fucking second how long he had to live in a world with Buck in it and that’s some of the most in love shit I’ve ever heard.
Then when Buck starts winning and having a good time Eddie has extreme heart eyes going, literally ducks his head down at one point bc he can’t contain his happiness seeing Buck having fun again. This is the same man who doesn’t let his kid win boggle, meanwhile he’s giggling while Buck beats everyone’s ass at poker. Then when Buck wins it’s just so implicitly understood that they’re partners, when the chief asks Buck how he wants his winnings Buck immediately looks to Eddie because it’s for both of them, same with the money they scammed earlier, Eddie grabs it out of Buck’s hands but there’s no “hey that’s mine” because it’s just understood that it’s the both of theirs.
Then Buck is hanging out with Chris helping him bake cookies for his school (HELLO THATS CHRIS’S OTHER DAD) and then uses the steaks that he and Eddie won together to cook for Christopher and that shit makes me melt so hard because it just does more to establish that they are a complete family unit.
Okay then Pepa starts setting up Eddie on dates and Buck who was ghosted by Abby and knows how much that sucks was just like “lol Eddie what if you ghost her” like sir, your subconscious jealously is showing. Then when Eddie goes on the date and she lets him down and even though he was gonna let her down he spirals about her not wanting him which is just such a queer experience. Then at the end he realizes that Pepa is right, he doesn’t want to be alone. But also he’s clearly not in love with the idea of going out with strangers so hmmm perhaps someone you already know intimately would be a good fit
Then when Buck goes out with natalia Eddie makes his feeling on the matter very clear. He also has a moment of realization that Buck isn’t okay and you can just see how much it affects him and a lot of us at this point believe that Eddie is at least somewhat aware of possible feelings for Buck. But also there’s such a sadness to Eddie because he’s ready for something now, but Buck clearly isn’t.
We also have confirmation that the couch metaphor is gonna keep playing out for the rest of season 6 and we also got another scene of Chris this time sleeping on the couch and it’s framed almost the exact same way as Buck’s scene was.
I just personally have to say I have never felt this was about a ship like this before, like something has truly fucking shifted this season and especially this half of the season. We have had a profound Buck and Eddie moment almost every episode since the lightning strike and that shit means something. This show is so purposeful in everything it does, and season 6 especially has shown that with how many callbacks we’ve gotten to things that happened in earlier seasons.
I just, I really do trust the writers and even if it doesn’t happen it is canon that Buck and Eddie and Christopher are a family unit and I just really love them so much.

COD MWII x Cyberpunk 2077 AU Brainrot
Fandom: Call of Duty
Characters: 141, LV, Graves, Laswell
Notes: cw for graves /lh, perhaps a bit of implied soapghost, bisexual soap, bisexual johnny silverhand, probably ooc but i do what i want ❤️
a/n: inspired by @yeyinde and my midnight-fueled obsession :) I'll probably make a part two to this because it's now my baby. knowledge of Cyberpunk 2077 is recommended because I reference in-universe characters. yes it's very niche, no I don't care.
- set in 2077
- they would all hate Johnny Silverhand. no exceptions.
- Soap's a little sad he shares a name with that fellow bi disaster bastard tho
- in a similar vein, they'd probably not be too fond of River; Price would envy him for his naivety and Gaz sees himself in River
- fanon Rogue and Price would 100% bond over being mother hens to a ragtag group of idiots
- Graves but Meredith Stout
- no questions asked
- the bitch would work for Militech or some other arms corp
- probably Militech because it is very American™ and he's a little yeeyee boy
- i might have Rudy's characterization wrong, but I feel like he'd have started in the NCPD like River
- poor boys only wanted to make the world better but instead Rudy became jaded and is sort of resigned to his job like Han
- Alejandro would be his buddy from Heywood who was always trying to get him to quit the force
- Ghost is probably the most like V in terms of skills and attitude
- but he's not some gonk kid who wants to make it big, he's made it big
- fixers either love him or they hate him
- one of those "going down in a blaze of glory" dudes
- would never work with Dex, though, and is especially relieved he never did after he hears about the Arasaka heist
- Price: veteran, but in a Mitch way and not a 6th street way. I feel like he had the potential to be a fixer, but wanted to try to have a quiet life after the war (Price bbg, there is no such thing as a quiet life in NC)
- is kind of like Takemura in the sense he'd love to run off and join a nomad clan (because fuck this place, honestly)
- but NC is all he knows and he has people he cares about there (read as: poor dude is attached to the 141 boys)
- Johnny (Silverhand) respects him, even if Price wants to rip him a new one every second they're around each other
- he could definitely become a mentor figure to V and would consider joining up with them if they take The Star ending
- honestly, i can still see Laswell working for the NUSA government
- but I'm not sure how we'd get a connection between her and the 141
- fuck logic, Price and Kate are still besties
- Soap and Panam get on like a house on fire
- a propensity for a little rule breaking and an affection harbored for an authority figure (i'll let you decide in what sense) brings them together
- I probably hc Gaz as younger than he actually is, but he gives off baby solo vibes
- brb thinking back to Jackie and V at the food stall outside of H10 and crying about it
- anyways
- Gaz would probably be the most like streetkid V
- bro knows his way around local fixers
- hc that Ghost and Gaz met on a job before Ghost made it big time
- and Ghost is all "I work alone >:(" but they discover that they work well together
- again thinking back to the streetkid intro, albeit Ghost is nowhere near the same as Jackie personality wise
- they probably grew apart after Ghost becomes a solo
- but Ghost is the first one to suggest Gaz when asked to put together a team for a big job (i.e. the heist but it doesn't go sideways)
- and yeah imo that's how c77!141 is put together
- Ghost knows Gaz, Gaz grew up around Price, and Price knows of Soap through the grapevine
- I guess to "convert" each of them into ttrpg factions, Soap is a techie, Ghost is a solo, Price is prolly a fixer, and Gaz might fall under lawman (as a PI or something)
- i am making less and less sense so I'm gonna stop here for now

She awoke at 4 this morning because she’s cool like that. Seriously, it is not that cool, not when there’s no reason in hell you should even be up at this ungodly hour. This is insane. This is currently my life. What can I say? Well, a helluva lot, but it would be pure whining. So, I’ll spare you. Yeah, that’s right…after I just typed a damned paragraph about it.
Bless you for reading it, you maniac.
So, it’s been awhile. Where to start?
Well, I’m dog sitting while the kid and her partner are spending time away in some log cabin God knows where. Sarah, her partner, texts me where they’re staying and I swear I’ve never read an address like it. At least not in this country.
Btw, when I said dog sitting, I mean 1 German Shepherd, 1 Pomeranian, 1 Poodle, 1 cat, and about 4 hens. No, the kid and her partner don’t live on a farm, but they need to.
It’s not as chaotic as it reads, but it kinda is. The feedings, etc. But, they’re good fur and feathered kids. They deserve all my love, even the hens, although I show them my love from afar. Good, yeah?
Better: My granddaughter will be over and I’ll be taking them out and showering them a butt load of specialness because they just turned 13, and my heart just exploded because they just turned 13. How did that even happen? They were just 4 years old like a second ago.
My momster will be staying with me starting next Saturday. Just a visit and I say this with some skepticism. Anyway, the momster doesn’t want to fly so this makes things freakin’ difficult. But hey, that woman invented the word difficult. She’s 85, so yeah, she’s not driving from San Diego to Sacramento, and she won’t take a train or a bus. Besides, if she did, we’d have to hang a big-ass card from around her neck reading, my name is Momster. If lost call this number. She’s been a pain in my ass since I turned 17.
Anyway.
My brother will drive her to Bakersfield where I’ll pick her up. I asked my bro what time do we meet? He texts back 10 a.m. which is not unusual, and is in fact, quite normal for those 2 because they’re super early morning people. I know I’ve been up since 4 and it’s a weekend (f*** my life) but that doesn’t mean I’m a morning person. It means I’m a reluctant morning person and that I’ll be inhaling water and coffee along with snacks to stay awake as I drive to Bakersfield, not to mention I’ll have to plan for about 13 potty breaks. So yeah, fun times lies in my future. My loss of solitude is weeping buckets despite the fact that I’ve pretty much accepted it. It can be worse, right?
Right.
The good news is that I feel dozy after sharing, so I’m gonna take a snap before I head out to the farm that’s not a farm to dog sit.
Thanks for reading. I know how you crave to read my entries. One day, I’ll sell tickets. We’ll be happy, together by the light of the silvery moon.

Fave things from the finale bc it was a lil rushed but i enjoyed it a lot!!!
- hen sneaking in late had me DYING. Top 5 scenes of the entire show it was so funny how she sat with her hands between her legs when she was caught LMAOO
- and all of bobby’s kids just being distracted af with Bobby desperately trying to get out like 2 words without being interrupted or ignored sjdjdjdjd
- maddie and Athena!!! Omg both took a moment when they heard about the emergencies and then immediately jumped into action they are so badass!!!
- buck!! BUCK!!!! He is usually very sensitive and irrational when emergencies to those he loves are happening but the moment literally everyone important in his life (except for maddie and the show’s kids) went down and he IMMEDIATELY jumped to action!! He acted like the captain!!! Like it was Hen but he was giving all the instructions on what to do and personally went to rescue each single member himself!!!! The season started with him being told he couldn’t be captain yet. And i 100000% agreed when it happened because others simply have more experience but this!!!! This?????? He BODIED being the captain here. Like maddie and athena he didn’t allow himself to break down. Even when it came about bobby being mia!!!! BOBBY HIS FATHER!!!
- the moment athena said she found bobby all jumped into action oh my god. Eddie could barely walked and rushed there. Hen was seeing doubles and rushed there. Chim was bleeding from being pretty much impaled and still tried to get out of the gurney to try to go help the second he heard bobby’s name!!! Buck pretty much lead the operation to get bobby out!!!!!
- something amazing about the fact that the kid risked it all to help others. I thought from spoilers he was gonna KNOW it was bobby and the 118 that had rescued him and thats why he was gonna help. But he didn’t until the end!!!! He did it because he wanted to!!! And when both him and bobby realized it they didn’t have to say anything!!! Just understood!!!! With the name of the ep being pay it forward that was so touching!! Bobby and the 118 risked dying to save that kid once. And he risked dying to help others and try to help bobby not even knowing who he was!!!! Makes me believe in humanity again for real (which side note but i was reading about comfort women earlier, which ik historically a lot about them already but i was reading a thread about a book full of anecdotes of survivors and those who didn’t and my god i needed to be reminded humanity is not just full of completely vile and evil people).
- Chim’s dopey smile holding maddie’s hand is everything. Wonder if that was a love thing or an acting choice to be dopey bc he was on morphine LMAOO. Still the cutest ever.
- buck has a little too much chemistry with kameron IM SORRY SHFHDHDH. Obviously i dont want them together and is absolutely not gonna happen but like…. The actors had a spark for a sec there. More than i felt with natalia at least LMAOOO. Which, i just learned in the past oliver once lost a role (or the audition didn’t go as planned) because he had done a chemistry test with natalia’s actress and failed it. They need to start doing chemistry tests with buck’s love interests especially if they wanna sell it that he has no feelings for eddie LMAOO. Eddie and marisol had chemistry for example like they need to do better by buck.
- WHICH ALSO, BUCK WAS ALSO A BOSS DELIVERING THE BABY?????? HE WA JUST SUCH A BOSS THIS EP??? Never freaked out just constantly jumping straight to action!!! What a growth!!!!! And like not just jumping to action but like fast thinking of a plan rather than just acting on pure impulse!! WHICH IS THE BIGGEST GROWTH??? Also side note but every time evan buckely is near a women giving birth that birth happens FAST lmao. Most labors i feel like they take hours but every time buck is involved that baby comes out in like 2 minutes after the water breaks jdjdjd. Which is funny considering all elder people who talk to him die LMAOOO. Angel of life and death fr fr.
- natalia and buck have like 0 chemistry HOWEVER that woman is so pretty got me kicking my feet fr LMAO. And this doesn’t deserve to be praised at all bc it should be as normalized as its on the show but i love that she’s poc and mid size/plus size (i dont think she is plus size but def not on the skinnier size). As a brown person and plus size myself idk i liked seeing her as a love interest just as much as the skinny white girls on the show. Is genuinely not a big deal but i have been rejected for not being skinny and white like the last 2 times i tried starting something so seeing natalia pulling buck with min effort like that made me happy djfjfjfj. Still don’t want them as endgame tho lmao terrible chemistry.
- saw the way buck looked at that baby too!!!!! Love the quick acknowledgment of having a sec realizing genetically thats a part of him that became a new life, but not letting it be a huge deal bc he KNOWS its not his kid.
- fucking love they are meditating now lmao.
- YES HEN S7 NEW BABY STORYLINEEE!!!
- marisol and eddie are cute. But where tf is carla its been a while i miss her. Sad she wasn’t in this finale.
- chim and maddie could just marry at bobby’s place is bigger lmao.
- love christopher encouraging his dad to date. Again i dont really want marisol and eddie, but she has good chemistry with him!!!
- wished we had seen some buck and Christopher for finale tho :((((( no finale should happen without christopher and buck having a moment. Like i wish buck had been playing vid games there when eddie called marisol and the “how is he so bad at this” christopher said was talking to buck.
- natalia has my body type for real im sorry it does make me happy dhfjfjh. Hope he doesn’t find a good couch with her tho. S7 can rescue the couch theory!!!!!!!
- S7 BETTER HAVE SOME PICS AND CUTE STORIES OF BOBBY AND ATHENA’S MORE THAN WELL DESERVED TRIP!!!! YES!!!

📓 :]
hehehehehe hi Babs!!! <33333 hope ur day is going well :]c
I'm gonna share my switched au with you 😤 namely the first half of it !!! (since ik Nyx has written a little bit of the second half so I'm gonna keep the details of that more of a secret hehe)
The premise of the switched au is more or less swapping the plots/ideas of the two seasons! So the odyssey dads get a teen coming of age adventure and the kiddads have to go on a rescue mission through Faerun to save their kids (the s2 teens but a little bit younger)!!
I came up with this AU a long time ago and obviously didn't know how season 2 would play out so the odyssey dads adventure goes a LOT more off the script and I think its a lot of fun tehehe
It starts off with Darryl, Glenn, Ron, and Mercedes (shes a main character here 😤) being put together for a group project on a field trip, and accidentally getting sucked through a portal to Faerun! Simultaneously, Hen has decided to run away from Oakvale and has JUST managed to sneak outside of the borders when BAM a bunch of inter dimensional teens show up.
They don't exactly get off on the best foot at first, I actually drew Hen and Mercedes first meeting here bc its SO FUN LOL but eventually Hen agrees to help them find a way back home (leaving out the fact that it's because he's on the run from HIS home.)
I came up with teenage Hen's personality before I got a taste of it in the liveshow but I was ON CLOUD NINE when we found out his canon personality specifically because of this au LMAO EMO TEEN HEN IS CANON NOW BABEYYYY
He's also like, freshly cracked egg in the sense that he's just realized he's trans so it's very fun thinking about how Mercedes (who's already socially transitioned) helps him out :3c In general hencedes is so damn cute in this AU !!!!! She's the first one to crack his moody broody persona by making him laugh himself silly over a dumb pun she made.
Also find Hen and Glenn's dynamic to be fucking hilarious. Bros will be bros who kick absolute ass and smoke weed together and maybe kiss sometimes. Yk all things you do with the homies 😎
There's just SO DAMN MUCH within this AU even with it being split into two parts I feel like I can't get into it all without this post being a mile long LMAO but all the other (future) spouses are involved even Terry Sr., the main villain is Bear'ry BUT Willy IS ALSO THERE. Because he died when Ron was in middle school and he's in highschool in this ! So while he's not AS powerful as in canon he's still definitely a problem they have to deal with.
The part I enjoy the most in this half of the au though is DEFINITELY the group dynamics. It's delightful 🥺 I know I've mostly talked about Henry's relationships but that's cause I'm biased LMAO there's a lot of other stuff going on like Ron bonding with Samantha and Terry over the phone in another dimension and Morgan forming a club to search for the missing teens because she's realized no one is giving a fuck about Ron and Glenn, there's the whole thing with Darryl and Carol being soo early in their relationship and having this massive distance put between them, not even mentioning TEENAGE JODIE.... THERE'S SO MUCH.
But if I were to simplify it down to the main five group dynamic, it's Ron saying he's kinda hungry and Darryl goes to grab some of their rations, Glenn is holding a piece of bread and Hen is using his flaming sword to toast it while Mercedes is making a special jam recipe with some random magic forest berries and Darryl comes back to this all and goes OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING ???!?!????

911 season 7 episode 3!!!
fjkdf i love when we get a little montage to introduce minor characters in the episode, and i love when that's fun, and i think this family is fun (corey!), but they really got me when the grandmother went "we need to get to the lifeboats. i want a good seat!"
the thing about 911 is. the thing about 911 is that at some point i WILL end up crying a little from the stress of the awful terrible horrible situations these fictional characters end up in
Tumblr media
"dead men don't bleed." bobby throwing out a banger of a revenge western title
"what are you all doing! on the ceiling!!!" that's a VERY good question, norman.
i'm, let's say, a little skeptical of the real world feasability of this rope and climbing rescue plan bobby is executing, but i do love when 911 goes hey! what the fuck! enjoy some action movie shenanigans!
"wish buck could have seen you do that." "honestly, i would have much rather seen buck do that." <3
love the way maddie is trying to have a phone conversation with chim but buck and eddie keep half joining in, like kids in the back seat of the car only catching half the conversation between their parents.
"so who's missing, bobby and athena or hen?" "yes." one of those lines that's extremely obviously something the writers set up for themselves, but i can't fault them for it, because i will admit i do like a corny overused joke.
"how are you feeling?" "like my world's been turned upside-down." man, this is a guy who knows how to milk his situation for fitting witty comments. first the whole gambling thing, now this.
"hen, where are you?" oh, she's just doing illegal paperwork. <3
Tumblr media
dear god. so far, counting the communications officer who died last episode, this is turning out to be a survivable emergency unless you're a black man.
OH. OKAY.
Tumblr media
so this is where tommy shows up!!
"could be why i haven't been getting your christmas cards." fdjkfd.
i felt like i'd probably seen every scene with tommy in it giffed ten different ways by now, but i did NOT see much of this, or realize that this is how he came back into the picture. good for him. he's immediately making up for past bad behavior by randomly having hen's back.
oh, of course. not random!! it's family, doing ill-advised heroic things that should get them fired togetherrrr. <3
Tumblr media
"oh, i think this is an open channel." "do you, buck? do you really?" fjkdfd.
awwww. the 118: WHO CARES. 💪
always a fun time when the guy behind the controls of the helicopter says you're probably all going to die anyway!
lola: "i've never been with another man." norman: "neither have i!" ?? evan buckley, SECOND bi character this season
mr. doctor stepping up!! love that for him!!
"well, unless you feel like swimming back, that's all we've got." i do love this personality they've given tommy!
also, i realize tommy's last name is kinard, which has entirely different origins, but i keep hearing canard, as in french for duck, which would be kind of funny for a man flying over water.
tommy being stupidly willing to go along with the 118's stupid let's-just-maybe-all-die-here-for-hen's-hunch plan! i adore that this is how we're introduced to him again, it's so good, hard not to immediately love him.
guy who's been very rightfully and realistically skeptical of their chances of survival from the start: "but there's nothing out there." [helicopter noises] < continuing the tradition of characters with a normal reasonable view of the world being smugly proven wrong on this show, fjdkfd.
the thank you for choosing oceanis blue last words, oh my god. very goofy.
"i'm not supposed to go with strangers." corey, i love you.
"what are we gonna do?" "we're gonna keep trying." damn if that isn't bobby coming up with a way better line than buck's off the top of his head. the 118: we're gonna keep trying.
fjdkfd sorry but if you're bobby trying to rescue a little kid and the door above you closes up and you can't get it open and the water keeps rising and you're about to drown (again), and then the door DOES suddenly pop open and buck and eddie in full gear are grinning down at you when there's supposed to be absolutely ZERO chance of them even being on this sinking ship in the middle of the ocean in a hurricane to begin with, i think that maybe, for at least a quick second there, you might think that this time you finally did die.
ohoho! see this, of course, i did see giffed.
Tumblr media
hen thanking maddie is good. bobby calling hen captain is great. bobby and athena getting back home and taking their fast food into the bedroom is lovely. love when there's at least a little time to wind down from the episode. <3

rules: Pick any 10 of your fics, scroll somewhere to the midpoint, pick a line (or a few), and share it! Then tag 10 people. tagged by @brotherslynchs and @kitkatpancakestack thank you <3333
all you have to do is call my name (i'll be there)
Eddie wakes up warm and comfortable and well-rested for the first time since he was knocked out on painkillers in a medical tent. There's a solid weight draped over half his body, heavy but not so heavy that it hurts, just a reassuring pressure on his torso. There's an arm curled over his waist and a wet patch growing on his shirt near his chest and, when he peels his eyes open, all he sees is golden curls. His right arm is dead under Buck's body, but his palm is alive against the bare skin of Buck's back. The skin is searing warm and so soft and Eddie has to fight hard not to move.
the persistence of memory
"Hey, Buck?" He calls out. Buck spins, mouth full of toast, tomato sauce smeared on his lips. How the fuck does he still look so attractive? "I'm in love with you." Its only then that he realises just how many people are in the loft and are looking directly at him. He doesn't really care, hyper-focused on the tears filling Buck's eyes as he tries to avoid choking to death. "And not in, like, our weird, platonic friend way we've both been trying to convince ourselves is normal. I love you in a I want to kiss you senseless at all times of the day, want to marry you, want to buy a house with twenty bedrooms and fill all of them with our kids, want to make out in the supply closet even though Bobby gave us very strict rules on workplace PDA way."
pit stops and detours
Buck and Eddie don't get a moment alone until some guy shoots a grenade into his own leg. Which is like very insane and Buck is a little distracted trying to figure out the logistics of that and a lot distracted by being crammed into the back of an ambulance with the love of his life who moved to LA to be in the same state as him. He's already jittery and on edge, he's practically vibrating, so, when Eddie goes still and tense, he knows its not good.
open heart surgery
"Hey, Eds." Buck murmurs, sitting in the chair by his bed. He stares at Eddie's hand, palm up, fingers slightly curled, resting on the mattress, almost like its waiting for him to take it. Like Eddie has reached for a hand in his sleep. And, well, Buck's never been good at denying Eddie anything, so he wraps it up in both of his hands and squeezes. "I, um, I miss you." He scoffs. "I'm sorry, Eddie. I'm so sorry. God, if I had have been paying more attention, you wouldn't... You'd have... I'm so sorry." For a second, Buck thinks Eddie's fingers twitch. But it doesn't happen again, no matter how long he holds his breath and stares. "Thank you for saving me. I just. I wish I could have returned the favour."
sorry i'm late, won't happen again
Everything kind of fades into white noise when that thought hits him like an arrow to the heart. Time becomes meaningless. He lives in the dot above the I in the fucking Jeremy Bearimy and he hates that he knows that, but he watched that whole show with Buck and Chris when he was laid up with a bullet in his shoulder. But then there's a flurry of activity and he watches as Bobby and Chim and Hen and Ravi snap back into action with a renewed purpose.
forget-me-nots
"Today is our wedding day." Eddie sucks in a sharp breath. Buck scrubs a hand down his face, chuckles. "We were gonna sleep in different rooms tonight for very different reasons than you not remembering me and freaking the fuck out about being in love with a man." He huffs a sigh, clenches his jaw. "Sorry, that's not fair."
betting pools and barbecues
They jump apart when the beep of the reversing ambulance shatters their little bubble. Eddie recovers first, allows himself a moment to revel in the swell of Buck's lips, the pink of his cheeks, the thin ring of blue around his blown pupils, then he steps back. Buck blinks himself back into awareness, sticks out his bottom lip in a pout he knows Eddie can't resist. Eddie pecks him, quick and sweet, then grabs his hand as Hen and Chim hop out of the ambulance.
isn't every great love story a tragedy?
Buck hears someone scream as he falls to his knees. Its a desperate, primal thing that sounds like it was ripped from the depths of the person's soul. Logically, he thinks it must be Bobby. He's the only other person on the scene with someone so important to them in there. It could be someone from the 103. But his throat is raw and his face is sticky with tears and his hands are pressed into the gravel and his arms are shaking and he can't breathe and. Oh, god. It was him, wasn't it? He's the screamer.
memory (all alone in the moonlight)
"I, um, told him everything." Eddie starts, frowning at the steering wheel. "And we talked about how he's gonna act. He's gonna be careful, you know? Not push too hard, not mention too much. But he really missed you." Eddie looks at him for the first time since they left the hospital. "So, he's definitely gonna hug you the moment you walk through the door."
this is it (i can feel it)
And Eddie seems to be fully sustained on the high of his first day back at work. Well, Buck too, of course. They feed off each other like sunflowers on a cloudy day, seeking each other out to get their sunshine. Ravi is really exhausted, okay? That's why he's tearing up. Its not because of his stupid sunflower metaphor about his co-workers. Its not.
my brain stopped working around 1pm today so i'm not sure who to tag. go for it if u want, i guess!!

Gonna talk about the Twst first years cause I love them and my Yuu’s dynamic with them is so fun to think about lol
As I’ve mentioned previously, Yuu is the mom friend of the first year group and pretty much adopts all the guys. She takes turns between calling them her friends and her sons lol
There’s some resistance at first from some of the guys, mainly Ace, Jack, and Sebek, but eventually, they all come to accept this crazy situation and reach the point where they don’t even bat an eye when Yuu refers to them as her sons.
And honestly, they really shouldn’t complain since it’s not like Yuu babies them or acts embarrassing about it. I mean, she could and probably would if she wanted to punish one of them, namely Ace, but normally, she doesn’t do anything that would make them seriously hate this situation.
After all, by becoming one of her kids, they get great perks such as Yuu being willing to help out with schoolwork and getting first dibs on whatever snacks/treats Yuu has been making that she plans on sharing to keep Grim from eating too much.
Another great perk is that Yuu is quick to help out her sons when they’re in trouble despite how exasperated she might be with them upon finding out just what kind of trouble they got into, which is likely entirely or mostly their fault. 
A lot of times, Yuu’s Quirk will show her visions that warn her in advance when one of her sons, usually Ace, Deuce, or Grim, is about to do something stupid. 
However, after having spent enough time with the guys, Yuu slowly develops a sixth sense of sorts where even without her Quirk she can tell something’s wrong. Once she senses a disturbance in the force, she proceeds to check on her sons, starting with the ones most likely to cause trouble.
At the top of the list are unsurprisingly Ace and Grim with Deuce right behind them since Deuce at least makes an effort to stay out of trouble for Yuu’s sake and the sake of being an honor student. Epel comes after Deuce, and Sebek is after Epel. Jack and Ortho are at the bottom of the trouble maker list since they rarely if ever cause Yuu trouble. 
Ace/Deuce/Grim are the top three most worrisome sons for obvious reasons. Epel’s next since he’s always willing to throw down as long as Vil isn’t around.
Sebek isn’t anywhere near as bad as those four, but occasionally, Yuu needs to intervene when Sebek gets too worked up over something, such as Leona being disrespectful toward Malleus, even though Sebek has been warned before about not being rude toward the second prince. 
It’s a common sight to see Yuu running around campus to get her sons out of messes, so she’s become quite the pro at it. She’s especially good at defusing situations that involve Savanaclaw students because they’ll quickly back down since they don’t wanna mess with someone who’s a “friend” of Leona’s lol
Most of the time, Yuu’s exasperated with her sons because of all the trouble they get into, but despite this, she’s still protective of them. So, while she prefers to settle things diplomatically, she can and will throw down if you mess with any of her boys. No one is allowed to hurt them on her watch, not without getting some vicious payback in return.
While they would never willingly admit it, the guys are just as protective of Yuu, maybe even more so.
Even though he often complains about her being like an annoying mom, Grim secretly thrives under all the attention Yuu gives him. He loves all the good food he gets to eat thanks to her and how he always feels loved and appreciated despite all the trouble he gets into. He knows no matter what he does that Yuu will always have his back, so if anyone dares to mess with his henchman, they’re gonna get a fireball to the face.
Yuu is Ace and Deuce’s best friend. Of course, they’re going to look out for her, especially when she’s always doing the same for them.
Ace always complains about Yuu’s “nagging” and her being too much of a mother hen and will say that he’ll only help her out if he feels like it, but there’s no question that he’d be willing to drop whatever he’s doing if he finds out she’s in trouble.
Deuce is a lot more forthright as compared to Ace since he always tries to be a gentleman around Yuu, figuring that’s what an honor student would do. Plus, Yuu is such a good friend to him, so he feels it’s only fair that he be just as good a friend to her.
That’s why it’s in everyone’s best interest to not do anything to Yuu while Deuce is around, because his inner delinquent will absolutely make an appearance and will do some serious damage without any hesitation. 
Jack is one of the guys who’s the most exasperated with Yuu’s motherly nature since he’s the independent sort and doesn’t think he needs all of her special attention. 
(Note that “need” and ���want” are completely different words since despite those feelings Jack’s tail is always wagging whenever Yuu makes him something or praises him, something Ruggie is always quick to tease him about lol)
That said, Jack really respects Yuu since she’s the independent, hardworking type like him, and she takes good care of those she has included in her pack.
Once he has finally come to terms with the fact that he is a part of that pack and actually doesn’t mind this fact, Jack does his part and tries to look out for Yuu when he can cause he knows about all the trouble Ace/Deuce/Grim constantly drag her into.
Normally, Yuu can count on Jack to keep a level head, but even Jack might lose his cool if he sees someone trying to harm her, because there are just some things that cannot be tolerated.
Epel finds being called Yuu’s son slightly embarrassing, but overall, he doesn’t mind it since it’s way better than being considered girly like he’s used to. Plus, Yuu treats him the same as she does the rest of her sons, which he greatly appreciates.
Even though Yuu has already acknowledged him as being strong, Epel still finds himself wanting to really prove himself around her cause he wants to live up to her expectations and be a reliable friend she can count on.
So, if he ever sees Yuu in trouble, Epel’s running straight for her and will not hesitate to throw himself into a fight if necessary. 
Ortho absolutely loves all the attention he gets from Yuu since it’s like he now has a big sister. Being called her son doesn’t bother him in the least bit since that’s what she does with the other first year guys, so he likes how it makes him feel like he’s like everyone else.
Yuu quickly becomes one of Ortho’s favorite people, so he’s always ready and willing to help her out. Just as he’ll get angry and ready to shoot lasers if Idia’s in trouble, Ortho’s willing to do the same for Yuu, so it’s in everyone’s best interest to avoid doing anything that will upset him while he’s around.
Sebek’s like Jack in that he finds the whole situation ridiculous and remains in denial about being Yuu’s son for just as long. However, since Lilia and Malleus approve of the situation and find it amusing, he goes along with it without making as much of a fuss as he would if those two didn’t feel that way.
Yuu’s friendship with Sebek was a definite slow burn, but he does eventually come to respect her and thinks she can be impressive at times for a human, although he normally keeps such thoughts to himself. 
If he were asked about his relationship with Yuu, Sebek would say he gets along with her because she’s on good terms with Malleus and Lilia, that’s all. It’s not like he actually enjoys spending time with this human, perish the thought. 
Of course, Sebek isn’t fooling anyone. All they have to do is see him talking with Yuu about a particular book they both read, and it’s obvious he’s genuinely enjoying her company, even to people who don’t know him very well. 
So, if Sebek were to ever see Yuu in trouble, he would be quick to get involved, all under the pretense that he cannot allow harm to come to a friend of Malleus, when in actuality he just doesn’t want anything to happen to her since he does actually like her. 
So, if someone is dumb enough to mess with Yuu while her sons are around to bare witness, they are in for a really bad time.
One scenario I have in mind that would support that fact involves Grim pissing off a group of upperclassmen similar to what often happens in the game. Maybe he lights something on fire that he shouldn’t have, or they instigated the fight and riled Grim up which wouldn’t be a difficult feat. 
Anyway, Yuu gets in between them and Grim and tries to diplomatically handle things. If Grim’s the one at fault, then she would be apologizing on Grim’s behalf since he’s her responsibility and she does feel bad for what he’s done. If the others are to blame, she’s sticking up for Grim but also trying to avoid doing anything that would result in conflict. 
Unfortunately, this isn’t a group of NRC students that can easily be reasoned with, so there’s a point where Yuu gets roughly shoved as one of the guys tells her to get out of the way. 
Grim naturally is not pleased and is about to start spewing fire, and Yuu immediately tries to calm him down since she’s fine. It’s not like she got knocked down, so he shouldn’t get so worked up.
Things only escalate from there since Deuce and Epel, who had witnessed the scene, immediately join the fray and are ready to throw down to defend Yuu despite her best attempts to assure them that she’s fine.
In the end, punches start getting thrown, and Ace, Jack, Ortho, and Sebek get involved once they see Yuu in the midst of the fighting. While all she’s doing is dodging and parrying the blows while still trying to de-escalate the situation, it doesn’t change the fact that those guys are trying to lay a hand on her, so her friends can’t just stand by.
Naturally, this just makes the whole situation even more chaotic since now she’s got all her sons up in arms, and none of them are interested in solving this dilemma the non-violent way lol
Eventually, however, Yuu’s patience snaps when she sees a guy pull out his magic pen, intending to use it against Ortho. Without hesitation, she decks him in the face because nobody attacks one of her sons like that on her watch.
So, in the end, it’s a whole mess of a situation that results in all the first years ending up in Crowley’s office along with the boys’ exasperated/amused dorm leaders and vice dorm leader since Lilia also shows up.
(Riddle is naturally pissed/exasperated. Vil’s also in the exasperated category. Leona thinks the whole situation is very amusing and is secretly pleased with Jack’s actions since he would’ve been more disappointed if Jack hadn’t done anything. 
Idia’s just relieved that Ortho and Yuu are okay. He nearly had a heart attack when he got called to Crowley’s office after learning that Ortho got involved in a fight. While he doesn’t like the idea of Ortho being in danger, he knows Ortho can handle himself just fine in a brawl like that, so he’s not upset with him, not that he could ever really be upset with him. Plus, he’s definitely way more upset with the guy he saw in the security cameras whom Yuu decked lol
While Sebek is lamenting over how his actions could negatively reflect on Malleus, Malleus and Lilia honestly don’t mind the whole situation. Sure, a knight’s actions do reflect on the person he’s protecting, so there will be some scolding on that end, but at the same time, Sebek was coming to the defense of someone who’s a dear friend of Malleus, which is something to praise.
Plus, Malleus and Lilia both know that if Malleus had witnessed someone giving Yuu trouble he would’ve been a lot more unkind to those guys than Sebek lol
It’d honestly make the situation even more funny if those two had witnessed everything that had happened and the fact that Sebek got involved was the only reason Malleus didn’t start smiting people 😂)
Yuu tries to take full responsibility for what happened since she thinks it was her fault for not better handling Grim and for not stopping the situation before it could get so bad.
Deuce/Epel/Ortho are quick to say she’s not at fault while Grim/Ace/Jack/Sebek say the blame lies more with the guys who wouldn’t listen to reason when she tried to diplomatically resolve things. 
In the end, everyone involved was at fault, so they all get scolded by Crowley and the dorm leaders, well the dorm leaders that are actually upset lol
As far as punishments are concerned, Yuu and her sons probably get put on window washing duty in the cafeteria or something along those lines since they did make quite the scene with that brawl. 
Later on, while they’re serving their time during said punishment, Yuu thanks her friends for coming to her aid. Yes, they were the reason things got as crazy as they did, but she still appreciated the sentiment nonetheless since it makes her happy to know that they’ve got her back.
All of the guys are pleased when they hear that, but Grim/Deuce/Epel/Ortho are the only ones who don’t mind her knowing this. Meanwhile, Ace/Sebek/Jack are trying to act indifferent while Jack’s trying to hide his wagging tail lol
Another scenario I like starts off with Yuu and Grim falling asleep together outside after school, having intended to do some studying while enjoying the nice weather but ultimately failing because Grim had no interest in studying while Yuu gave into her exhaustion caused by having a long day that involved keeping her sons out of trouble.
Ace and Deuce are the first ones to find the two curled up underneath a tree. Ace thinks Yuu is too careless to fall asleep like that in an all boy’s school, but Deuce thinks that Yuu would be able to ward off anyone who dared to bother her since she has such great instincts, which Ace finds hard to believe lol
Still, Deuce wants to stay with the sleeping duo until they wake up because he thinks that’s what an honor student would do. Plus, he likes to do whatever he can to look after Yuu whenever given the opportunity.
Ace’s feelings are similar, but he’d never admit it. Instead, he says he’ll stick around cause he has nothing better to do.
At one point, Ace tries to draw on Yuu’s face, but Deuce protects her. Eventually, he gets Ace to stop once he points out that Yuu would easily kick Ace’s ass once she wakes up and finds out what he did lol
Not long after that, Jack, Epel, Ortho, and Sebek walk onto the scene, all of them having separately noticed the group underneath the tree from a distance which made them want to come over to see what was going on.
Upon seeing Yuu fast asleep, Sebek and Jack immediately take off their uniform jackets and throw them over her, successfully completely covering her because of how large the jackets are.
All the while, Sebek scolds ADeuce for their lack of manners. How could they just leave a girl sleeping uncovered like that?
When Jack and Ortho agree with Sebek’s words, with Ortho doing so with his usual internet research, Ace just rolls his eyes. Meanwhile, Deuce starts to feel guilty since that does sound like something an honor student like him should’ve done.
As that’s happening, Epel gets an idea and quickly takes off his jacket. Noticing this, Ace teases him about his small jacket and how it won’t do Yuu much good.
Epel gives him a scowl before refocusing his attention on his jacket which he’s currently folding. Once he’s satisfied, he lifts Yuu’s head, so he can place his jacket underneath it to act as her pillow.
After doing this, Epel just smugly grins over his smart idea that shows off what a cool guy he is. That’ll shut Ace up lol
I just love the idea of all the guys just sitting around together while Yuu/Grim sleep, claiming they’ve got some free time/nothing better to do, but they really just don’t want to leave Yuu on her own. 
After all, if Yuu’s willing to look after them whenever they need it, it’s only fair that they do the same.
