honestly, I'll always think about Athena being Hen's first friend among the first responders and continuing to be someone others call when they think Hen needs help, support, or protection. Athena gave Hen her number after seeing how shitty Gerrard was, inviting her into meeting Athena's friends who could get how shitty things were and could be Hen's friends too (Hen Begins). Bobby calls Athena as soon as he knows about the ambulance accident because he knows what Hen would need. Toni calls Athena when she knew Hen would try to get into the lab to save Karen. Karen calls Athena when she suspects what Jonah could do to Hen and Chim. the conversations between Athena and Hen in the aftermath of the IVF heartbreak, Hen's dilemma about her father's hospitalized arc, the frustration of her med school, discussing the mess with Eva. Hen asked her for help with the hose that first time when nobody else would yet, and Athena just decided to keep on having her back.

Maybe the delulu is deluluing extra hard today but I still firmly believe that we can have Bobby back alive.

If Sir Arthur Conan Doyle could have been bullied into bringing a character he despised back to life

Then we can bully Tim Minear into bringing our dad back. Much like we probably did bully him into adding Eddie's phone call about Bobby.

We can absolutely Reichenbach Falls this!

no matter how many fics there are of it, i will never get tired of buck looking for apartments, eddie catching him and saying "i told you that you can stay as long as you need" and all variations thereof (EDDIE YOU DOPE THAT IS NOT THE SAME AS ASKING BUCK TO STAY), and buck replying "yeah but i gotta go, i can't stay, i gotta get outta your hair so you and chris can get back to normal" (BUCK YOU DOPE NEITHER OF THEM WANT YOU GONE), and eddie proceeding to take that so so so personally that he either panics and blurts "OKAY BUT I WANT YOU TO STAY" or he just bluescreens and lets buck move out even though he hates it so so so much and then a week or more later he's throwing rocks at buck's window in the middle of the night and holding up a boombox playing "come back to me" by vanessa hudgens or yknow however the author goes about it bc i'm frankly not picky

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a wild show because it says, here are a group of terrible, irredeemable people who are codependent in unimaginable ways. They will never, ever get better - in fact, they will get significantly worse. But there will be moments, little moments of genuine love and affection between them, and it will drive you crazy. And you will bear witness to times where the trauma they experienced as children possesses their body and they turn into scared little kids again. And then they will continue to be deplorable, and you will laugh your ass off, because this is a comedy! But inside you will also feel something tugging at your soul.

Imagining a world where Shannon lives and she and Buck have bobbymichael levels of bestiesm. They take trips to the farmer's market together. He always sides with her when she and Eddie are fighting. They go out for brunch on the weekends. They take Christopher to the aquarium and when people mistake them for a couple they're like oh ew lol no. We could've had it all.

Mr. “‘He’s not- we’re not’ - subtle is what you are not!“-Diaz in Close My Eyes and Stumble (Right Into Your Love) by @hmslusitania  

Eddie’s PTSD is just that little bit worse and when he moves to Los Angeles, instead of joining the LAFD, he joins dispatch.

Which is all good and fine, except for this one firefighter he keeps ending up talking to.

Buck is very Sabrina Carpenter-coded and Eddie is very Olivia Rodrigo-coded. And yes, this is outside of the shallow blond(e), blue-eyed and brunet(te), dark-eyed take, though I think that is also valid. In this essay, I will -

I just had this thought as I'm writing that like what if Bobby taught Buck how to make like authentic Philly cheesesteaks? Because yeah, his time in Pennsylvania wasn't the best, his home didn't actually feel like a home. But Maddie did. And sure those drives from Hershey to Philly were long, but they were also some of the greatest drives of his life. It's what made him fall in love with driving. Talking to his sister, singing along to the radio with her. Having the open road in front of them and getting to think they were running away together, starting anew. They couldn't go all the time but that's what made it special. Walking around historic Philly, getting authentic cheesesteaks, and getting to see the bigger world, even if it was still just Pennsylvania. The drives home weren't as great. He kept knowing exactly where they were going, even though he tried to forget it. Focus on the warmth of now rather than the cold that awaited him. But every time his mood would dip too low, right around the halfway point. They'd stop and get whoopie pies. And it was enough. To know his sister cared about him, enough to try to keep his moods up as much as she could. Coming home was hard. Being home was harder. But those trips with Maddie helped to make it bearable. Survivable.

He tells bobby about this, one quiet evening. Both of them unable to sleep, Buck reminiscing on the past as he reflects on what he's built in LA. Buck forgets about it. Moves on. But bobby doesn't. He researches. He looks up how to make an authentic philly cheesesteak. He looks up how to make authentic specifically Pennsylvanian whoopie pies (he learns about the controversy surrounding the origin and thinks Buck would be proud.) He can't know exactly what it tastes like, of course. So he consults Maddie. She taste tests for him, working with him to perfect the recipes to what she remembers. And then finally, bobby presents Buck with his authentic philly cheesesteak and Pennsylvanian whoopie pies and Buck is instantly taken back to those long car rides. To those exciting trips. To those escapes and hints at freedom.

Bobby and Buck proceed to cry and laugh and share even more stories over the food. Bobby writes down the recipes, memorizes them until he can make them by heart. He passes them down to Buck, their own little family recipe book growing. The people who give you their food give you their heart, love is stored in the kitchen, etc etc.

And then eddie makes them for dinner when he proposes to Buck. He doesn't know what to make at first. But he does know how much Buck loves Bobby's cheesesteak and pies. Eddie knows that Buck knows how to make them, but for some reason he never does. Instead, he lets himself be pleasantly surprised every time Bobby whips them up. So eddie talks to bobby and maddie since Eddie knows the story. Of course he does. And these are as much their recipes as they are Buck's. So he gets their blessing to learn and use their recipes, practices with them for weeks to get the taste just right.

For the second (or third, or fourth, or millionth) time in Buck's life, he cries over Philly cheesesteaks and whoopie pies. But this time he also gets to kiss and say yes to the love of his life.
