DIAZ PARENTS VS. BOBBY NASH

[Image desc: 14 small GIFs from 9-1-1.

Row 1: Helena doubting Eddie’s parenting capabilities, telling him, “Don’t drag him down with you, Eddie,” vs. Bobby affirming his faith in Eddie’s parenting when Shannon believes she might be pregnant, “If you two do decide to have another baby, you’ll figure it out. We already know you’re a great dad.”

Row 2: Ramon insulting Shannon right after she died, “How [was Shannon brave]? By running out on [Christopher]?” vs. Bobby gently reminding Eddie that Shannon didn’t leave, “She died, Eddie.”

Row 3: Eddie repeating his dad’s philosophy for dealing with emotions, “Whenever stuff didn’t work out for me, my dad always told me to brush it off, keep moving forward,” vs. Bobby encouraging Eddie to allow himself to process his feelings, “Eddie, I just wanna make sure you don’t think you have to lose everything before you can allow yourself to feel anything.”

Row 4: Ramon telling Eddie, “Christopher needs consistency,” as Eddie considers a new career option vs. Bobby hugging Eddie when Eddie tells him he’s changing careers for his son.

Row 5: Helena expressing her disappointment in Eddie’s parenting, “You don’t have time for what matters most. Christopher,” vs. Bobby asking Eddie when he has ever failed his son, “When did you let him down before?”

Row 6: Helena expressing doubt in Eddie’s ability to be a single father, “But she’s gone - and you are a single father, again, okay, and the hours you work, Eddie - Come home,” vs. Bobby providing Eddie the support he needs to handle single fatherhood when Eddie asks, “I didn’t know where to take [Christopher].” - “Yeah, you did. Right here [to the firehouse].”

Row 7: Ramon expressing his pride when Eddie comes home from the army with a Silver Star as Eddie protests, “I’m not a hero,” vs. Bobby expressing his pride in Eddie becoming a full firefighter while Eddie smiles at him.

It's simple. Choose a film from the list and use it to inspire you to create something.

Fic. Art. Edits. SMAUs... The sky is the limit.

The aim is to bring some joy, some happiness, to the time between the season 8 finale, and when season 9 premiers.

There's a Google Form to complete if you wish to sign up, an ao3 Collection to add to, and this dedicated tumblr community space. Google Form Sign-ups will open on the 23rd of May. There is no assigned posting date, but active promotion of the event will stop the day of the season 9 premier.

“Buck.” Of course Eddie follows him out of the kitchen and into the living room.

“I need space.” He can’t turn back to look at Eddie. He doesn’t need to see the hurt etched on his face when he can feel it all around them. He shoves his feet into the first pair of shoes he can find at the door and grabs the keys to his jeep. “Don’t wait on me for dinner.”

“Buck, stop, please.”

Buck can feel Eddie’s breath fan across the back of his neck.

He looks back over his shoulder for a half second. “I’m sorry, Eddie.”

Sorry he couldn’t talk Christopher into staying with them last spring. Sorry he didn’t try harder to connect with Christopher while he was in Texas and convince him to come back home. Sorry that he couldn’t save Bobby and spare Eddie more loss. Sorry that Eddie didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye.

8x09 / 8x17 buckandeddie after successfully pulling the most domestic and loving prank you've ever seen

[crose84]

i can’t stop thinking about how intentional it felt that buck’s big grief moment—his most open, honest reflection about bobby with someone in his life—was with tía pepa. not eddie. not maddie. but eddie’s aunt—eddie’s family.

it’s soft, intimate; a conversation underlaid by years of something we haven’t seen on screen, but that exists all the same—an undercurrent of familiarity, of care, of a relationship built quietly in the background.

and the thing is, pepa doesn’t speak to him like a guest, doesn’t treat him as her nephew’s coworker (or old coworker, i guess): she calls him evancito, later cariño—terms you don’t just throw around. those names come from genuine affection, closeness—love.

and then there’s the moment she calls him our eddie. not my nephew. not eddie. our eddie. buck is already part of the ‘our’—already included, inherently.

all of this tell us everything the show doesn’t say out loud: that this isn’t new. that buck is already hers. already family.

and that line in the episode description? buck contemplates where he’s supposed to be.

yeah. it’s here!!!

in this home. in this kitchen. with this family—the family and life he and eddie have been building together for the past 7 years.

this is where he belongs, the people he belongs to.

The Real Thing: Chapter 15

🌹 a.k.a. The Buddie Bachelor AU! 🌹

“I can’t believe we’re finally alone…” Buck whispers, curling his fingers into Eddie’s shirt. “I’m so used to people watching us,” Eddie agrees, his voice husky. “Eddie,” Buck says then, an unmistakable challenge in his voice and boundless yearning in his eyes. “No one’s watching us right now…” Eddie shivers, hot tendrils of desire licking down his spine as his gaze drifts down to Buck’s lips. He leans forward slowly, millimeter by millimeter, until he’s so close he can feel Buck’s shallow breaths mingling with his own. “I’ve wanted this for so long,” he whispers, his lips just barely brushing against Buck’s, hovering there, so deliciously close and yet still so very far away. But he needs to say it. He needs Buck to really know how utterly wrecked he’s been for him.   Buck gives him an almost imperceptible nod as a small, desperate whine escapes from somewhere deep in his throat. And then Eddie is finally–finally–closing the gap and pressing his lips to Buck’s with a low, strangled moan.
