okay….. 👀

[eosfog-btsideblog]

bucktommy breakup going on longer than their actual relationship but the whole time they’re broken up, they’re still thinking about each other and having insanely charged romantic/significant moments so you so don’t actually forget about tommy or bucktommy…..iconic to me. who’s doing being broken up like them quite frankly

[eosfog-btsideblog]

i still hope - that after all the time buck spent denying himself the urge to call tommy, to recognizing that he should call tommy and apologize, to needing to call tommy in a crisis - that at the end of the day we get to see buck pick up the phone eagerly and freely and tell tommy the true depths of his feelings. i hope i hope i hope

Heeeeey baby! I'm back for more Make Me Write requests.

Could I get a bit of 🚁🚁🚁 pleaaaase?

Hi, my love! Of course you can. Here's some of Buck's POV that takes place at the same time as this snippet.

-

Buck feels like he’s about to hack up a lung as he runs out of the building with the last victim. The building had started to go so they had to run out the back side. As they made their way to the exit, a support beam swung down and clipped Buck in the shoulder. Nothing too serious, at worst a nasty bruise and soreness for a few weeks, but his radio was busted. So he couldn’t give the all clear. He instead gripped the victim a little tighter and hauled them to the paramedics in the front of the building. 

He could tell something was wrong by the time he passed the victim off to the paramedics. Gerrard was yelling into his radio to get dogs on scene for a recovery. While Hen was yelling at him that he could still be alive. Who? Buck had thought he was the only one still left in there. Then he looks around for the man he knows was on the scene before Buck entered the building. When he scanned the scene twice and didn’t see Tommy, his stomach dropped. He went in after me.

Shit.

He runs for the engine and grabs as much cribbing as he can before rushing back to the building. Buck is about halfway there when he feels a hand on his shoulder. He turns and finds Hen, Chim, and Ravi right there with airbags and ropes. He notices someone lingering a step behind, Tommy’s captain. Captain Acosta gives him a nod. Buck recognizes it for what it is, thanks for going in after one of his crew. He watches as Acosta lifts the radio and asks dispatch to send additional EMS, and then attempts to radio Tommy. 

Buck ignores the way his throat closes up when there’s no response. But that could mean anything, his own radio had just been busted. Tommy was probably fine. Right?

The 118 enter the fragile structure despite the orders from Gerrard telling them to stand down. Buck tunes it out as they make their way carefully across fallen support beams. 

“Tommy!” 

They take turns shouting with pauses in between, desperate for some kind of response. Nothing. He tries to tamp down the panic threatening to swallow him whole. This is the part he’s usually good at. The, running into danger and finding the victims that everyone else has left behind, part. But this time, it’s not just any victim. It’s Tommy. And that’s making it more difficult to focus than Buck expected. 

He’s just about to give up when in a quiet moment he hears a moan and then a thud. He turns to where the sound came from and see’s a bit of yellow and black peeking out between the rubble. 

“Guys, over here!”

Not waiting to see if they followed quickly navigates the fallen debris before he starts yanking things from off of Tommy. It’s a miracle he doesn’t trigger a secondary collapse, but that thought barely even crosses his mind as he digs. Almost as if it was instinct, his mind keeps replaying one thing on a loop. Tommy. Tommy. Tommy.

Buck starts small, literally. Bo is thirteen days old, brown eyes larger than each tiny fist, his fingernails terrifyingly sharp. Maddie and Chim went out "just for coffee, that's it" and after Buck changes his nephew's diaper, he tickles his soft, rounding belly. It doesn't make Bo laugh, he's too young for that. What Buck gets is a wide-eyed curiosity that makes his chest ache.

"You're gonna be a whole new person when I get back," he murmurs, holding the baby close. Jee had been almost unrecognizable when Maddie brought her from Boston. But those months had been what Maddie had needed to heal.

Maybe they'll send Buck pictures this time. A video every once in a while. Hopefully they will.

"You'll be good for Mom and Dad, right?"

Bo gurgles in the affirmative.

well there is now the possibility of buck and tommy starting season nine off in a secret relationship

[eosfog-btsideblog]

In my head, the Chief decides to make Tommy captain of the 118 and now it’s all so complicated because Buck is right there but now he’s a subordinate and Tommy is trying to be professional and so he’s trying to forget about him.

except that Buck is being a brat to cover the pain of Bobby’s loss and Tommy being there just out of reach and he can’t cope and at one point Buck decides to fight Tommy about it, because fuck their careers they need to be together

Anyway, they end up fucking in the firetruck about it

🦅🦅🦅 that last snippet was so good I need more. Please

Yay! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Here’s some more from the museum that continues from here

Tommy took a few long strides to catch up to where he was already examining the first model of a rudimentary helicopter. He paused and scanned the images and displays while Evan likely was reading every single word on the plaques spread out among them.

“Woah. Tommy, listen to this!” Evan said.

Tommy turned towards the other man and found him almost vibrating with excitement.

“Did you know that Leonardo Da Vinci sketched plans for the Aerial Screw which is seen as the first recorded design for a vertical take-off and landing machine?” Evan asked rapidly.

Tommy nodded, “I did know that. But the first successful flight of a helicopter wasn’t until 1939. That one was designed and flown by Igor Sikorsky.”

Tommy had turned away from Evan to look for the model he had seen of the VS-300 that Sikorsky had flown to point it out to Evan. He found it and was about to gesture to it when he noticed Evan hadn’t said anything. Tommy spun back around to see what was wrong and Evan was just standing there with his mouth open. Tommy didn’t know exactly how to describe the look on Evan’s face. Wonder? Awe? He didn’t think such a small fact was worthy of that response.

“What?” Tommy asked, still a little confused about what was happening.

“How did you know that?” Evan breathed. 

“I was a pilot in the army, so I did a little research while I was in flight school.”

Tommy shrugged. He didn’t see what the big deal was. But Evan just got more excited by his response.

“What got you into flying? Aside from the fact that I imagine it feels like having a superpower?”

Tommy tried and failed to keep a smile from his face at that. He hadn’t ever really thought about it like a superpower. He joined the army to flee the horrors at home and as a way to escape from the world for a while. But that was a little too much to share with the person he was in charge of protecting.

“It’s a great way to clear my head, and it feels, I don’t know, freeing when I am up there,” Tommy said instead.

Evan’s smile remained as he said, “That is so cool. So, what type of helicopter did you fly?”

And that was how Tommy found himself explaining the various types he would fly depending on the situation. Which led to Tommy explaining some of the more specific mechanics that helped you determine the utility each aircraft would have. And throughout it all, Evan was engaged and asking more and more questions. Tommy couldn’t explain why, but he was excited to talk about his service for the first time since he had returned about 3 and a half years ago. Granted, they were talking about the easy stuff. The stuff that he enjoyed. Not the things that still caused him to wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat.

Thinking about Buck entering that kitchen, seeing Tommy cooking for him, smiling at him, being with him and becoming so full of hope and joy because Tommy is there, Tommy stayed. Thinking of Buck plopping onto the kitchen counter, instinctively spreading his legs for Tommy to fit himself in that space like they've probably done dozens of times before. Buck licking his lips and smiling and leaning in expecting to be kissed good morning because that's what Tommy always did, and then being silently denied. Buck shrinking a little, turning away, clamping down that hope and joy and telling Tommy "this doesn't change anything" bc if it had Tommy would be kissing him, holding him, loving him....

handsome beefy man i love you

It's not only sexy af but REAL bi/queer representation, which isn't half-assed or noncommittal, that Buck explicitly is hot for Tommy over masculine things. Tommy, in general, is very trad masc; he's super muscular, tall, with a strong jaw, deep voice, short hair. During their kisses (so far), neither is clean shaven. Buck likes Tommy's cleft. Tommy shows up to the wedding specifcally as a filthy, manly firefighter, and Buck calls him *a beast* in a flirty tone before eagerly kissing him.

Buck is attracted to Tommy *because of* his manliness, not in spite of it.

They really put two masc men together romantically/sexually on main channel cable TV and made no apologies, excuses, or compromises. 🏳️‍🌈 What a time to be alive. 🥲

same, Tommy, same

i picture buck and tommy as the couple who laugh together all the time. i know the six months they were together were filled with all the sex and laughter one could want

“I've learned that you know, he's a character that really has an open heart and wears that heart on his sleeve, and I love that about him. I think it's very admirable to just be open to the feelings that you have or the emotions that you're going through, and be open to the world and not you know, one of the things I do really love about him is he's got all the ingredients to be this kind of typical, like macho character. You know, he's a firefighter, he's all these things, but he's also like really emotional and sensitive, and I think that only adds to his strength”

always have to eyeroll at those "actually! queerbait is better!" posts that are always popping up these days, especially when reblogged by people who ironically clearly desperately want their own personal fanon ship of choice to be canon but still use their dynamic to try to one-up people who ship canon queer couples. often it will just involve making fun of a canon queer couples not getting enough development/focus making them a "lesser" or "boring" ship etc etc.

and like... it's actually a good thing to invest in canonically queer ships specifically for that reason? to show there IS an audience? to give us a fighting chance at seeing more well-developed, slowburn canon queer couples that are given similar airtime and focus to the classic straight "will they/won't they" couples?

you'll see the same people jump on each hot new never-gonna-happen ship time after time acting like this is the one that will finally be the slowburn queer couple of their dreams, and then get mad when they inevitably realize they set themselves up for failure. and i know that is partially because there is a large chunk of people who crave a queer storyline that is given as much development and care that you see in some m/m friendships on tv. but then it falls entirely flat to me when i see these same people ignore or shit on every show/couple that does have the potential to provide what they claim to want.
