cheating a bit with the yet to be titled bi buck fic. i posted this through snippets of asks but, honestly, i'm so proud of it i'm showing it off here. in full. enjoy

It’s not that he’s ashamed, it’s just… new. A shiny fresh layer of his identity. While he’s very sure he likes kissing men – and extremely sure he loves kissing Tommy – claiming the bisexual label for himself takes longer. Hen, Karen, Tommy and others all tell him he doesn’t need a label if he doesn’t want one, but this feels right. It makes him feel settled. Lucy and Ravi suggest that he practice saying it out loud, as a step forward when he’s alone. While the idea sounds easy enough, he finds it’s anything but. Especially the first time. Buck shifts into park, pulls the parking brake and kills the engine. For a few moments he stares into the middle distance, not really seeing anything. His brain is a swirling, chaotic mess of thoughts as he taps out a shaky rhythm against the center console. Thumb, index, middle, ring, pinkie. Pinkie, ring, middle, index, thumb. Over and over while he tries to tame the way his heart beats wildly in his chest. They’re just words. Consonants and vowels strung together and assigned meaning. And yet they’re so much more than that. They are a means to take a concept and make it real. To say that he, Evan Buckley, reformed player who solely dated women is– His eyes flutter closed as he inhales deeply. He pictures Tommy’s face, smiling warmly at him. Soft and assuring him it’s okay. That there’s no timeline to meet. It allows the noise to quiet and mute to something more manageable. He opens his eyes again and focuses his gaze on the rearview mirror. The way the visor creates a shadow, cutting across his forehead. How his eyelashes fan out, and the way his pupils make constant micro adjustments to the incoming light. His lips part and his tongue touches the backs of his lower teeth, ready to shape and curl around what he wants to say. No sound comes out. Not even a strangled, anguished, frustrated breath. Buck shakes his head and tries again. He furrows his brows together, determined to make some progress. Maybe he can just think it instead. I’m– That’s where his conscious brain stops him. A flashing caution sign, a guardrail to prevent him from going too far. A muzzle crafted by years of conditioning. Frustrated, he slams his hand against the steering wheel before grabbing his work bag and slamming the Jeep closed behind him. Drive after drive, each and every time Buck encountered a mirror, he continued to push himself. Sometimes, even after making progress, his attempts were no less frustrating than the very first one. A patient, or family member, would say something that shook his confidence, making him want to curl in on himself. Not that it was any of their business to know who their emergency responders loved or crawled into bed with at night.

ever since you talked about bucktommy with kids i can’t stop thinking about eddie and chris’ reactions and feelings and the new dynamic like are they excited when they find out that buck and tommy are having kids? is chris talking about them like they’re his siblings or is he jealous at first just another parent in his life getting taken away? do they end up having play dates do they go to the zoo together? does eddie get upset on chris’ behalf? do they ask eddie to be the godfather? do buck and tommy call eddie in as reinforcements bc he’s the only one who’s immune to their children’s shenanigans? do they call him uncle eddie or is it like chris and buck where it’s their eddie simple as that

well. i'm a buddietommy girl at heart, so even if they aren't all in love, they're all still very much, like. a unit. so in my head, eddie and chris are thrilled by the change in dynamic because they know it doesn't mean buck loves them any less. there's no jealousy anywhere. everyone is just, like, really happy to have more people in their little family to love. and yes it's an adjustment but. it's not a bad one. chris definitely takes on an older brother role and the kids look up to him like he hung the stars in the sky. the three of them get into all kinds of mischief together, much to eddie, tommy, and buck's chagrin. eddie DOES sometimes interfere when the kids aren't listening to their dads and he's like "step aside amateurs, i've got this" and. it's actually really fucking hard because god buck and tommy have some cute kids and he's a little softie anyway — especially for these kids, like, these are his best friends' kids — but someone has to be strict around here. might as well be him. he's not the godfather he's not the fun uncle, he's just their eddie, yeah. and a couple times when the babies are little, they call all three of them daddy and it melts everyone's fucking hearts. and even though they understand eddie's not technically their dad when they get older, they sometimes still call him pop or pops anyway just because :)

I'll Take Care Of You (I Swear)

G / 2.2k / bucktommy

[From Tommy:] A civilian started strangling you at work today? [To Tommy:] Well technically he was our victim But yes. [From Tommy:] Shut up with your technicalities. Around 30 minutes later there’s a knock on his door, and Buck opens it with the biggest smile on his face knowing exactly who's on the other side. OR - Tommy comes over and looks after Buck after a rough day.

Canon and Headcanon

The discourse surrounding Bucktommy, especially the anti-Bucktommy side, keeps flabbergasting me. But for some reason it also inspires me to write my thoughts down. Here are some thoughts abut canon, headcanon, and fandom behavior.

In my last post I mentioned maybe writing a post about Tommy's redemption arc that certain people claim doesn't exist. I decided against it in the end. There have already been several posts about that. But I also feel I'm not in the right position to write much about it because I'm not a POC. So, I have of course my thoughts about how Hen and Chimney treat Tommy and how that speaks to their relationship with him when Bobby came to LA but also now. And I also have thoughts about how problematic Tommy's behavior was in the end. But I don't feel I should share them outside of private conversations.

There is one thing I want to say about Bucktommy and Tommy's characterization, though. I've seen somewhere this take about how the writers obviously didn't plan Tommy being gay and closeted when they wrote the Begins episodes we saw him in, therefore nothing happening in those scenes can be interpreted with the current development in mind. It's utter bullshit. It doesn't matter what the writers and actors thought or didn't think and plan back then. The interpretation of canon can't be based on anything anyone involved in the show said off screen. It needs to be based on what we see on screen.

There was this very captivating interview of Oliver (honestly, what did this head do to his eyes? I couldn't stop staring at them) where he said the idea of a queer story line for Buck was pitched to him a couple of years ago but then dropped. And now there are parts of fandom who are somehow absolutely convinced the revelation of the will should have been the start of Buddie. Meanwhile, in regard to that question Oliver never even mentioned Buddie. I think the scene between him and TK in the crossover episode is the much more likely scene they would have used to start that story line.

But either way, we didn't get bi bi-con Buck (yes, unashamedly borrowing that from the very same interview) a couple of years ago. We only got him now. And that means it's been canon for not even four weeks that Buck is bi and all the time before he was unaware that he wasn't straight. (And honestly, imo, it's not even canon that he is bi. Technically, it's only canon Buck is not straight. And it won't be otherwise until he claims a label for himself on screen.) It's not canon he had this revelation a couple years ago because something was said in a random interview.

Sometimes what we see on screen is horribly lacking. The still missing resolution of the Chimney&Buck conflict in season 5. The missing conversation between Eddie and Buck this season after the basketball game. The missing work Hen and Karen have to have put into their relationship after season 1 to be where they are today. The out of nowhere redemption of the Buckley parents and Sang Han.

So, we are left to interpret from the little breadcrumbs we have.

The thing is, ten different people will probably interpret those things in twelve different ways. And that's okay. I can think some of those interpretations are absolute garbage or completely insane. Others can think my interpretations are wrong and stupid, and that's okay, too. Different people will have vastly different experiences and preferences and that will give their interpretations a different spin. Nothing of that is wrong. None of the these interpretations are necessarily wrong!

That's why we have the word headcanon.

What's wrong in fandom and has always been wrong since I've been in fandom is the reaction of some people to other people's interpretations. The kind of people who think their interpretation, their word, is the word of God or whatever higher being they believe in, therefore everyone else is wrong. And that means everyone else needs to be attacked until they either change their mind or vanish (whatever form that might take).

I might laugh about some of those takes, very seldomly openly and more often than not only in the circle of my friends. Everyone else is allowed to laugh about my takes. What I think no one is allowed to do is to attack others in whatever way about their interpretation of canon. And this might be an age-old problem that existed long before the internet, but that doesn't mean we just have to carry on with it.

Enjoy the parts of the show you find enjoyable. Ignore the parts you find less enjoyable. And if there are more of the latter than the first, maybe look for another show to occupy your mind with. But don't go around attacking others for their opinions. And especially don't go to the social media of the actors and writers and attack them.

(Btw, I absolutely hate the take of 'they should know what to expect when joining social media'. Saying that is the very root of the problem. It's like saying 'she should have known what to expect wearing that skirt'.)

to be honest the one way a bucktommy br**k ** could work without anyone getting hurt / pining after someone they can't have / dying is if tommy got a job somewhere else. like maybe he's been considering leaving california, patching things up with an old friend / ailing parent / whatever and he gets a job in, like, arizona or something. he asks buck to come with him during the mid-season finale and buck spends the rest of the season considering it / preparing himself to leave. eddie is having a particularly difficult time with this decision because he's not just losing tommy, he's losing buck too, and there are layers upon layers there. anyway. season finale comes around, buck and tommy br**k ** because buck's life is in california, eddie stops by buck's loft thinking he's too late, but buck is obviously still there. the thought of losing buck made eddie confront/confess his feelings, and, since buck would be single, season 9 could begin with them, like, exploring this new aspect of their relationship. like. yes. technically we would still be l*sing tommy, but he would get a good, satisfying ending and he wouldn't be alone :(

#i don't wanna lose him at all but this is the only way it could work that wouldn't completely hurt my feelings #tv: 911 #jack.txt
