8.17 fix it/canon divergent

"Eddie," Tommy says, and he sounds like he does at work. Firm. Calm. He's navigated helicopters through much worse than this. Raging storms and hurricanes. "Eddie, step away."

Eddie whips around, head snapping at him, eyes angry. Finger still pointed. Nostrils flaring. Buck is looking wide eyed. The tension in the air is palpable. Thick and heavy. "What are you doing here?" Eddie asks sharply and Tommy raises an eyebrow. Holds up the empty food containers. After the funeral, they'd all eaten at Hen's place. Buck had brought food for everyone. No one had really eaten anything. But it'd been nice, regardless. Or well, as nice as it gets when your captain dies and you have to do normal things after his funeral, such as eating and sleeping. Tommy had stayed behind to help Hen clean up. Had promised to drop off the food containers at Buck's.

So here he is. Backdoor wasn't shut and he walked in on Buck's face twisting into shame and grief and guilt and Eddie's raised voice.

Tommy puts the containers on the counter. Tries to meet Evan's eyes. It's charged in here. Tommy feels his stomach knot at the way Evan curls in on himself. Something isn't right. "Just came to bring these back," Tommy says, and then finally Evan looks back at him. "You okay?" Tommy asks.

Eddie scoffs, crossing his arms. “He’s fine. We're okay. Buck doesn't need you.” Buck shifts uncomfortably. “Eddie, come on…”

But Eddie ignores him, stepping closer to Tommy. “You’re not part of this team. You don’t know what we’ve been through.” It's a grief response, probably. Eddie is hot headed. Can be arrogant and mean. Buck's mentioned it jokingly before but it doesn't seem funny now. Nothing about it is fucking funny.

Tommy meets Eddie's gaze, unyielding. "I’m just here for Evan.”

Buck pushes past Eddie and towards Tommy and Tommy can see it in his tense shoulders, his set jaw. He's going to cry. And he definitely doesn't want Eddie to see right now. Whatever their argument was about, he needs to get out of here. "You wanted to catch that movie, right?" Evan says, voice brittle and sharp and he pointedly ignores Eddie. Tommy doesn't even blink. He touches the small of Evan's back. "Yeah," he says gently. "We're running late, come on."

Evan doesn't say anything on the drive. He stares down at his phone and bites his lip, and then out of the window and then back at his phone again. Fiddles with the seam of his jeans. Bounces his leg. At a red light stop, Tommy reaches over. Places his hand on Evan's thigh. Evan stills underneath his palm. Outside it's starting to rain. Drizzle, really. "My place okay?" Tommy asks and keeps his hand right there. Eyes on the road.

"Please." Buck's voice is rough, hoarse. Another beat. "I don't need you to save me, by the way. This isn't -- I was handling it fine."

Tommy glances at him. His chest clenches. "Hey, I know. That's not what--"

"He said I always make it about me." Buck blurts out, and he's angry and hurt. Grips Tommy's hand with his own, squeezes tightly. "Said I-- I don't know. Doesn't matter." His breath hitches. "I tried so hard to be okay, Tommy, I really did. And I - I know I'm a lot but I really thought I-" He lets out a wet huff. "I was there for everyone, I really tried to be. Like he said. To be what they needed but I was selfish, apparently and I-"

Tommy parks the car. They're here. He kills the engine and twists in his seat to look at Buck properly. The rain is picking up now, drumming against the windows.

"You're not selfish," he says firmly. "You're grieving and taking care of everyone. You're the least selfish person I know." Throat working, Buck shakes his head, looking down at their hands. His eyes are wet.

"Come on, let's head inside. Got some sweats you can borrow." Steal. Buck used to steal them. Sleep in them, sleep in Tommy's shirts. Buck seems to remember too because he manages a small, soft smile.

They get inside and Tommy flicks on the lights, door falling shut behind them. He's barely out of his shoes when Evan steps into his space, crashes into him. Tommy lets out an oomph sound and then folds his arms around him. He's put on muscle, has become so solid and filled out but he buries himself deep into Tommy's chest. Tommy thinks about watching Buck through the monitors and how badly he wanted to hold him then. How badly he wanted to catch his pain with his bare hands. "I got you," he whispers and presses his nose into the curls. "I got you, baby." The pet name slips out like that. Evan doesn't seem to notice, he's trembling and shaking, and Tommy can feel him crying more than he can hear him.

Tommy holds him. Holds him through it all.

[buddieroommates]

I know I KNOW in my BONES that tommy is eventually going to leave after helping buck realize that eddie's the one he's in love with but god I hope we get at least a couple more episodes of buck and tommy together with tommy showing buck everything he's been missing. including more kisses. maybe even a make-out session. at the very least some implied fade out sex. show me buck getting to bask in this glow for a while longer before it gets complicated and hard to breathe again.

IDK just something I neeeeeeeeed...

Sooooo....Hen and Eddie are in the ambulance and Hen is staring holes into the side of Eddie's head because he and Buck drove separate to the station today, which set everyone’s tongue wagging because they haven’t arrived separately once in the month that Eddie has been back and sleeping on Buck’s couch.

And its nine and a half hours into a forty eight hour shift and he and Buck haven't said a word to each other all shift because they had a rager of a fight that morning and Buck stormed out, slamming the door which he KNOWS Eddie hates, which just pissed Eddie off even more and the thing is he KNOWS the fight was stupid, a fight over fucking cheez-its, and he KNOWS it wasn’t really about the cheez-its, it was about the call buck got from a realtor about an apartment. An apartment that Eddie had NO FUCKING IDEA Buck was even looking at and he felt so pushed out that he lashed out and now here they are, not speaking and putting everyone around them on edge, and the whole fucking station is giving them a wide berth because, well they don’t want to be part of the fall out.

And so now Eddie is driving to a call and Hen is staring and Eddie is clenching his jaw so hard he's sure he's going to crack a tooth because he knows if he so much as opens his mouth, she will immediately start peppering him with questions he just...doesn't want to deal with right now because he's too afraid of fucking up the best thing he's ever had, so he keeps his mouth shut because he knows what Hen’s advice will be, and he just...can't, not right now.

It’s dumb luck they get caught by a train and Hen says, "Eddie." In that gentle concerned voice and what is he supposed to do now because he can’t avoid it so he just word vomits about how Buck has a realtor and he's going to LEAVE and Eddie doesn't want him to go because...because...he just got him back and he just needs a fucking minute to breathe and live in this space with Buck before he potentially blows it all up for good because months ago he figured out WHY it was so hard to leave and he just…he just needs a goddamn minute, okay.

Thirty eight hours and forty minutes later Eddie is stopping at the grocery store for Cheez-its.

So, what's the plan?

9-1-1 6x16: Lost and Found

[hisbucky]

Athena, on the phone: Good morning, Buck! You don't usually call me this early in the morning, is something the matter? Buck: Morning, momma. I just wanted to ask something real quick. On the off chance that I get kidnapped and am being held for ransom, what should I do? Athena: ...Pass the phone, sweetie. Buck, rustling sounds: ... Kidnapper: My demands are simple — Athena: No, you listen here. If you touched even one hair on my boy's face, you're going to wish I had the authority to kill you by the time I'm done. I will find you, break you, and make sure your face will match the sheer idiocy that is your brain for even thinking that this was a good idea. Kidnapper: ... Buck, in the background: I told you that this was a bad idea.

i feel like i've zeroed in on what is so baffling about people being so pressed about buck's feelings being **ignored** or **dismissed** (other than people doing the exact same thing to eddie's feelings) and it's that people are looking at it like this:

buck hears that he doesn't matter to eddie -> buck's feelings are hurt and acts out irrationally in response to this due in large part to his abandonment issues -> therefore the resolution is that eddie needs to reassure buck and tell him he matters to him

when in fact what the show is saying is:

buck hears that he doesn't matter to eddie -> buck's feelings are hurt and he acts out irrationally -> the resolution is that buck is able to get past his abandonment issues and realize he is being irrational on his own because deep down he knows how much he matters to Eddie and furthermore that Eddie (and Chris's) happiness matters MORE to him than his own issues

When have we truly seen him work through his issues like this completely on his own? without maddie or bobby or eddie (or josh?) telling him how he should be feeling and what he should be doing? Like this is the character growth that people keep claiming over and over Buck doesn't get!!! But this is proof that he HAS grown!! Like this is what we've been waiting for when it comes to the Buck cycle of abandonment!!!!!!

When it comes to Eddie, Buck is finally able to see past his own issues COMPLETELY ON HIS OWN and take the steps to resolve the conflict between them before it truly gets out of hand. THAT is what was so great about that final argument scene -- we are finally seeing Buck work through and overcome his abandonment issues without requiring someone to reassure him or tell him how he should be feeling. Because Buck is finally secure enough in a relationship to do that. And of course it's significant that it's EDDIE he's able to do this for 🩷

I've been having a delightful time stumbling over my emojis being used in random servers, so here's more

[morganbritton132]

Secret relationship Buddie but it’s just everybody thinking that Buck and Eddie are in a secret relationship and that they’re the only one who knows about it.

Except for Ravi, he thinks everybody knows.

Also Buck and Eddie are not dating.

god it's just like. it has to be a facetime. they have to facetime. they can't just call. because so much of their communication is nonverbal. expressions and body language. it's reading insecurities on their face and soothing them with gentle support. it's seeing the words they can't see on their face and answering unspoken questions with the simple fact of knowing each other so well. but more than that it's just their presence. they need to see each other the way sometimes they just need to sit together on a couch in silence. they just need each other.
