controversial opinion but by the end of the show Buck should no longer be a firefighter

from as early as season one we see how much pressure he puts on his position as a firefighter. firefighting is his identity at this point and that’s not a good thing

he thinks that people value him because he helps them, because he has something to offer to them, not because of who he is

it’s why he panics so much with the lawsuit. he thinks that if he isn’t a firefighter then he means nothing. he thinks that without the connection to the 118 they won’t want to spend time with him anymore and they won’t love him anymore because if he’s not a firefighter he doesn’t deserve their love

we all know that Buck has some major self-worth issues and i think that the only proper way to wrap up his character would be to prove to him that he’s wrong

he does deserve love, he is loved and it has nothing to do with what he can provide for others

remember “what does Buck have?”

“he has us.”

yeah, that should be Buck’s endgame.

he’s no longer a firefighter because he realizes he doesn’t have to be one to be loved

#buck needs to get to the point where he believes ‘that won’t happen to us’#and ‘you’re stuck with us’ and ‘you act like you’re expendable but you’re wrong’#he needs to get to the point where he believes that he’s loved #and that’ll only happen if he’s no longer a firefighter #because as long as he’s a firefighter he’s going to continue to relate his worth to his job #911 abc #9-1-1 #911 tv #evan buckley #buck #911 on abc #911 fox #911 on fox

You know this thing about Alex Claremont-Diaz in RWRB?:

Well not only bc of the “-Diaz” overlap, but also bc it just fits them so well, Buddie and Christopher on 911 make me think of that.

Like I hc that Buck and Eddie get together and then get married, Buck adopts Chris, and they all three change their last names to “Buckley-Diaz.”

(with Buck and Eddie just keeping their OG names on their turnout jackets and Bobby just calling them those out in the field for clarity/efficiency)

And then I’d like to think that they do that same thing. Like in a situation like this:

[x]

where Chris is sassing Eddie and backing up Buck, and Buck is so satisfied and proud of him, Eddie would (lovingly/all in good fun, of course) tell Chris off by calling him “Buckley” lol

(not that Chris gets all his sass from Buck - we all know and love Sassy Eddie™ - but obviously this time it seemed more Buck-influenced lol)

“you can have my back any day” “i lost him” “you saved him” “there’s no one in this world i trust with my son more than you” “i kind of lost it when i told him” “you were there for him when i couldn’t be” “no one will ever fight for my son as hard as you. that is what i want for him” “because, evan. you act like you’re expendable but you’re wrong” “do more” “you don’t want him to end up like me” “you didn’t end up like you” god he sees him. he sees him and he loves him just. something about eddie knowing buck better than anyone else, being there for his lows and his highs and the good and the bad and still loving him so much it’s a part of him is making me light headed.

1.8k / 22 / soap soulmate au, part 3

…

Oh, shit, Ghost thinks. What the hell did you just do?

Ghost stumbles out in the road, looking after you in shock. You just... jumped out. In handcuffs. There's no way you think you can make it anywhere like--

Oh, double shit. You're running right for the cliffs in the distance. Looks like you might make it, too. That ain't good. Morally justified or not, he's still the criminal here. If you get to rough terrain and he loses you by car and on foot, you’ll go for help, and his squad won’t stand a chance.

He swears, grabs his pistol, and points it at your back.

He has a clear shot. He's sniped easier targets.

… He sighs and lowers his gun. Johnny, you owe me one.

…

You've got a good head start on him, but when he eventually catches up, he's going to be pissed.

Your ankle and hand sting from your rough landing. Adrenaline pumping, heart racing--you've got to get to those cliffs, and fast.

Behind you, the engine roars closer. Wheels crunch over gravel. He’s catching up. But the cliffs are right there. A river snakes through the rocky terrain. If you can just throw yourself across the water, you can make it. You can lose him on foot.

You pump your legs as fast as you can. The wind burns in your lungs. Keep moving. Just a few more seconds before you reach the water.

You’re so focused on the water that your foot lands wrong between river rocks and your ankle twists. You keep going, gait lopsided. You can’t stop. Once he catches up, you’re either a hostage again or you’re dead. But first, he's gotta catch up, get out of the car, open the door, grab his gun, sprint after you--

Then his car swings around you, pulling what should be an impossible drift over the rocks, one tire scattering river water into the air. You skid to a stop, making a break for the cliffs instead. There's a waterfall. You might make it if you jump--

Then Ghost is on you, a blur from the open car door to the edge of the rocks. He grabs you almost out of the air. You land stomach-first on the ground. You grunt, windless, gasping for air. Pain surges through your body. Fuck, that hurt. The rocks are harder than the grass was. You see stars.

Then you start to realize the position you're in. Your hands are still cuffed in front of you--over your head, now--and he's got his knee on your back. He's holding you down with all his weight, the barrel of his pistol pressed between your shoulders as he grits his teeth.

"Stay. Down," he growls.

He's not gentle. It'd be inconvenient to kill you, but you're really testing his sense of pragmatism. You're making him expend a hell of a lot of effort to keep you alive--jumping off a cliff, fucking seriously?--so he doesn't owe you any extra effort toward keeping you comfortable. Quite the opposite.

You shift your pained body under his knee, groaning into the sharp river rocks cradling your face.

"I said stay down," he growls, grinding his knee down against your back. You feel every individual sharp rock pressing into your skin. "I will hurt you.”

Normally he doesn’t give warnings like this, but he figures he owes it to Johnny to keep your stupid pretty face intact. As much as he wants to put a dent in it right now. And if you keep acting all resourceful…

You keep still, trying to catch your breath. Your hands curl around the river rocks and feel around for something loose and sharp. No such luck.

He grabs your shoulder with one hand to keep you still. His knee moves off your back for a second. You realize he’s trying to get a better look at the soulmate mark on your neck.

"Got to be another John MacTavish somewhere in the world," he mutters. "Bloody common name."

He grips the back of your vest and hauls you to your feet, practically scruffing you as he drags you back to the car. He growls something under his breath along the lines of irritating little shits finding each other.

Back in the car, Ghost’s phone rings again. This time, he glances back at you and switches his phone to his non-dominant hand. He picks up his pistol with his other hand and steers with his knee.

“Ghost,” he answers. This time, the reply has him shifting in his seat. “Negative. Didn’t see her.” Another long pause. The voice on the other end is louder and more animated than the one before. “I told you I’d look, and I did. Wherever she is, she’s fine.” The reply is clipped. “The captain told you not to go looking. Chrissake, Johnny, you’re not hanging out at base looking for a date. You’re a wanted criminal. Have a crumb of self-preservation.” Another long reply, this one rising in volume. “I know. Yes. I hear you. I know— Johnny—”

He goes quiet for a long while, uttering single-syllable responses occasionally. You can’t hear Johnny’s words, but you do hear his tone of voice. He doesn't sound happy.

“If the captain tells you to stay put, you stay put. End of story.”

You glance at the rear-view mirror again. Ghost is looking back like this is somehow on you. The sour face of a man getting chewed out.

Ghost and Johnny go back and forth until Ghost finally seems to tire of it. "No, not right now," he says. "I told you what I know. I’ll call you back."

Johnny curses from the other line right as Ghost hangs up.

Your fingertips are still tingling from the sound of Johnny’s voice, even at a distance, even over the phone. Maybe from the cuffs, too.

You don’t miss the irritated look on Ghost's face. "You in trouble?" you ask.

Ghost doesn’t hold your gaze. "He's a little pissed off, yeah."

After that, you don't speak for a long time. Your whole body hurts, and the adrenaline and sheer length of this day are taking a toll. Your eyelids sag. But every time you drift into sleep, you see Johnny's face again and jerk awake. It's torture. You don't have the mental fortitude to block him out anymore. You’re terrified that wherever Ghost is taking you, Johnny will be there.

You lean your forehead on the window, squeezing your eyes shut. "So..."

"What." There's no venom behind the response this time. He doesn't bother looking at you. But he's listening.

It takes longer than you'd like to work the words you're trying to form out of your throat. "John is still in one piece?”

He keeps driving in silence for a moment. You can almost hear his brain ticking as he considers. There's a tenseness behind him, a tension that's wound up and ready to snap.

"Yeah. Got a few holes in him, but it takes more than that to keep him down. Stubborn bastard." Another long, heavy silence. His hands grip the wheel, and he glares ahead. "Got a problem with that?"

"I'm not sure."

"You got issues with Johnny, you tell me. Got enough problems without you being all coy."

“Do you, uh, have a soulmate?”

Christ, he hopes you're kidding. He can only take so much of this from Johnny, and now you? Obviously Johnny hasn’t stoppedtalking about you. Can’t stop talking about what a pretty thing you are. Face like a muse, he keeps saying. Bastard described you in so much detail that, when Ghost was surveying the Las Almas base, you popped out like a neon sign the moment his sniper scope swept over you. He could've grabbed any damn Shadow, but no, he decided to do Johnny a favor and grab you. Now he can't bloody shoot you no matter how much you deserve it. Lucky Johnny’s not here to see what a bloody mess you’ve made of yourself under his watch. Not that he tells you any of that. Best to keep Johnny in the dark until they get the information they need out of you.

"You're a hostage," he says. "Act like it. And Johnny's off the table."

That’s a relief. You dread the thought of looking Johnny in the eye and trying to figure out how to make excuses for almost killing him. You can only hope to delay it as long as possible.

…

It turns out the "base" Ghost spoke of is a shed in the middle of nowhere. A barn at best—from the outside, but from the inside, it’s huge. You recognize a few members of the Mexican Special Forces, also your former allies before your company betrayed them on Shepherd’s orders. Rodolfo in particular gives you a hard stare as Ghost drags you past him and into a much smaller room. It's a weapons closet converted into a makeshift interrogation room. He pushes you down into the chair hard by the shoulder. You lean on the table, flexing your sore wrists behind you and wishing you could just put your head down and sleep.

He keeps a close eye on you once you're down. You show no clear desire to run again and no more than a passing interest in the impressive spread of rifles and launchers on the walls. You’re in the heart of an enemy safehouse. Even if you managed to grab a gun and escape this room, every other person outside wants you dead. You’re almost glad Ghost locks the door. At least there’s a barrier between you and them.

In the dim light, Ghost notes the bruise on your cheek and the scabbed-over cuts and gashes littered over your exposed skin. Your forehead sports a nasty, wet-looking burgundy splotch where your head hit the ground after he tackled you. You look about as defenseless as a wounded rabbit. If he weren’t busy trying to keep you from escaping as a hostage, he’d probably feel bad about hurting a friend's soulmate.

He's not his most charming self here.

"Stay awake, now," he warns you.

The overhead light clicks on. Ghost stands across from you, but the person standing by the light switch is Captain fucking Price. He stares at you, his hard gaze boring into the soulmate mark on your neck.

Then he smiles. "Good find, Ghost," he says. "This is the one. Guess Soap wasn't lying."

…

okay but it’s like.. you broke down my door when I was at my absolute lowest, and you could have drown saving my son, and you dragged me across asphalt to safety when I was bleeding out in the street, and you’re in my will, and three minutes and seventeen seconds, and all the blood, and sweat, and fucking tears, and it was pouring rain when I went up without a harness to get to you, and I got your pulse back because, Evan, you act like you’re expendable, but you’re wrong

something something Bobby saying “maybe you feel like you can survive anything” and Margaret saying “you think you’re indestructible but you’re not” and Taylor saying “you’re not invincible” but Eddie saying “you act like you’re expendable but you’re wrong”. bc Eddie understands that Buck's behaviors don't come from thrill-seeking recklessness, but from a deeply ingrained lack of self worth. and instead of berating him he offers him something to live for, something that will force him to assign greater value to his own existence whether he wants to or not. idk. send tweet

#buddie #911 #🪐#I might have to make a gif set about this idk. has anyone done that yet.

DIAZ BOYS + their buck-up-buck speeches

(or, the ways eddie and christopher make sure buck knows he belongs with them.)

[Image ID: nine gifs of Eddie Diaz and Christopher Diaz from 9-1-1. The gifs are alternating between Eddie's will reveal in 4.14 and Christopher talking to a comatose Buck in 6.11:

GIF 1: Eddie rolling his lip in his mouth before he nods towards Buck, and tells him Christopher would be taken care of by him. The text reads, "It got me thinking. You know, what would happen to Christopher if I hadn't [survived]? So I went to my attorney and changed my will. So, someday, if, I, uh...didn't make it...Christopher would be taken care of. By you."

GIF 2: Christopher leaning over a comatose Buck as he says, "Hey, Buck. It's Christopher. I know you're sick, but it's only temporary."

GIF 3: Eddie repeating what he'd said to Buck in more concise terms, maintaining eye contact. The text reads, "It's in my will, if I die, you become Christopher's legal guardian."

GIF 4: A continuation of GIF 2, Christopher looking determined as he straightens up, glancing at all the machines Buck's hooked up to. He says, "You're gonna be okay. That's what all the machines are doing. Making you better."

GIF 5: Eddie acknowledging Buck's question about consent, shrugging slightly as he says, "My attorney said you could refuse." The subtitle continues with the next dialogues: Buck says, "You know I wouldn't" and Eddie replies. "Nah, I know you wouldn't"

GIF 6: Christopher placing a hand on Buck's bare arm, the camera panning up to capture his pleading expression as he says, "but wherever you are, you have to come back."

GIF 7: Eddie inhaling and shaking his head, turning to look at Buck with a smile that speaks of his conviction as he says, "But no one will ever fight for my son as hard as you. That is what I want for him."

GIF 8: A shot of Buck lying in bed, eyes closed with a tube sticking out of his throat. Christopher keeps pleading, "Wherever you are right now, you have to come back."

GIF 9: Eddie inhaling, releasing a slow sigh as his bottom lip rolls into his mouth briefly, telling Buck he's wrong for thinking of himself as expendable, jaw clenching. The subtitle reads, "Because, Evan, you came in here the other day and you said you thought it would have been better if it had been you who was shot. You act like you're expendable. But you're wrong."

Thinking about..

i almost give up, bobby and thank you, for not giving up

and

you’re the guy who tries to fix things and it comes handy when you’ve got a bunch of holes in your wall

and

the way they look at me, maddie, through me and I know you wouldn’t

and

they never wanted another kid, they just had me for parts and no one will ever fight for my son as hard as you, that is what i want for my him

and

it’s the only thing i’ve ever done that’s important and that mattered and you act like you’re expendable, but you’re wrong

and

love me anyway and you’re stuck with us

and

god you’re so needy and now am i allowed to ask how you are?

and just how Eddie’s love has slowly but surely healed so many of Buck’s wounds simply by being there for him and caring for him and trusting him

#buddi #911 fox #evan buck buckley #eddie diaz #i hope yall like this because i burnt my dinner because i was distracted with this :(

okay so as always, i haven’t really had time to browse the tags, so sorry if someone already posted about this, but:

what if we get Eddie vs. Buck’s parents?

like since they’re in town for a visit and then Buck gets hurt, what if they try to visit him in the hospital

and Eddie’s there because of course he is, and he gives them a piece of his mind and tells them exactly what he thinks of them

and acts like a guard dog (in the best way lol) and tells them they’re not allowed to visit Buck because they don’t deserve to and wouldn’t have made the trip and visited him, like wouldn’t have come see him if they didn’t happen to already be in town

and that even if Buck’s in a coma, he might hear them talking/sense their presence and know they’re there and it might stress him out and keep him from waking up, so no, they’re not allowed

and they’re “like well who are YOU to tell US we can’t see our SON?” and he’s like “i’m his REAL family”

“it was brought to me a long time ago” how long are we talking? was buck in love with eddie when he was clawing at the dirt, screaming eddie’s name until his voice was shot, collapsing in bobby’s arm sobbing in despair? or was it later? was buck in love with eddie when he watched his best friend get shot in front of him, was he in love with him when eddie told him about the will? was “because, evan. you act like you’re expendable, but you’re wrong” the closest he thought he’d ever get to eddie loving him the way he loved him? maybe later, even? breaking down eddie’s door to get to him, leaving his girlfriend behind to take care of his best friend because there’s no world where someone comes before him? maybe it was before all of that. maybe buck’s heart stopped seeing eddie in the locker room and restarted when their hands met, when eddie promised to have his back and then kept his promise. when he chose buck and kept choosing him. when he loved buck and kept loving him. really, what was buck supposed to do besides love him back?

#ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!#buddie #911 abc #oliver stark i’m biting at the walls and it’s your fault!!!!#my post
