“She suspects it’s a bond rupture.”

Buck blinks at him and looks confused. “But you’re not bonded. Shannon wasn’t even old enough before she— you know.”

“Not Shannon,” Eddie says. His stomach roils with nausea and his whole body aches. How does he say this? It’s so dumb. They should just have the infusions. Eddie moved away. They won’t be able to be in the same city anymore. He shouldn’t have even said anything. What is the point?

But— Buck. How can he lose Buck? He already had to move and leave him behind. How could Eddie possibly take those awful chemicals to dissolve and erase everything he has left?

He finds the letters on his arm with his fingers. B.U.C.K.L.E.Y. Then goes back to the beginning and absentmindedly feels the silken thread in the familiar shapes on the sweatshirt all over again.

Buck looks like he’s thinking but coming up with nothing. “Who then?”

“It’s probably— I mean. I don’t know for sure. But. If you think about it. Out of anyone it would be. Possibly? I’m guessing—” God, he just needs to say it. He can say it. It’s not a big deal. They didn’t plan on this. And they’ll deal with it like they do everything else. “It’s you. I think. You and me. Maybe. That was my thought.”

Buck turns bright red and hides his face by rubbing his hand over it and scratching the back of his neck. “H-how? How would that even— we’re not— you’re not interested in— We’ve never had— we’ve never, you know. Had— or made— or done—? Wi-with each other. How would we randomly be bonded? We can’t be bonded. I am not pining after anyone. Everyone thinks I am, but I’m not. Wouldn’t I know if I were b-bonded? Wouldn’t we both know?”

Eddie almost laughs. Does he really know anything at this point? “You don’t have to have sex to bond.” Sex is just going through the motions. At least in Eddie’s experience. But no one cares if an omega enjoys it. It’s not for an omega. An omega is there to service their partner. “It’s time and care and intimacy that do it. And usually intention.”

“Okay, but. Isn’t it like getting married? Aren’t there whole ceremonies and sex things or whatever other intimate rituals that have to take place?”

Obviously Buck hates the idea. Obviously he’s disturbed by it. “I don’t know, Buck. I just thought. Out of anyone. The most likely thing. Was you. Considering we’re—” Fuck. Maybe that was wishful thinking. Maybe Eddie was too quick to assume.

What the hell does that say about him?

~~~

Eddie moves to Texas and finds himself growing sick and unable to make himself and Chris a home. He and Buck are aching without each other and have to choose to either become mates or permanently sever their unintentional bond since they're now hundreds of miles apart living separate lives.

✅ rpf-ing on tumblr and ao3 ‘cause it seems like the safest platform to do so

❌ tagging actors’ social media accounts under rpf posts and leaving shipping comments where they can definitely see them (and also leaving weird comments on the pages of the people they’re dating if they’re not currently single)

like, that’s the difference in boundaries to me. if the actors want to see rpf content for fun, they can search it up specifically (i mean, i’d do it 100% if i were a celebrity, ‘cause i’m too curious for my own good). but shoving it down their throat without thinking about how they actually feel about it is not it. if you have the urge to do that, go outside and touch grass first. and think about how they’re actual real people with their own lives. it’ll probably go away

Dr. Whitaker + Scrubs THE PITT (2025)

[inell]

Buck jumps from being asleep to awake at the sound of rushed and panicked footsteps down the hall, moving from the direction of the bedrooms towards the bathroom. He's on his feet and already heading in the same direction when the sound of someone retching reaches his ears. He grimaces in sympathy, wondering which Diaz is currently sick in the bathroom.

Eddie, it turns out, as Buck notices its his bedroom door flung open. That, or he'd woken up to the sound of his son and is already in there...

But no, it is confirmed to be Eddie when Buck nudges the door open further, finding Eddie curled over the toilet, body shuddering as he breathes heavily. Buck flicks on the light, squinting at the sudden brightness, and moves closer to Eddie. He crouches down beside his best friend, placing a hand between Eddie's shoulder blades, the bare skin flushed and sweaty under his palm.

He doesn't get a chance to say anything though because Eddie is throwing up again, a pathetic little whine following it as he falls back enough to drop his forehead to the edge of the toilet seat.

"I'm here, Eds." Buck murmurs, reaching up with his other hand to flush the toilet. The sound feels too loud in the room and it does little to mask Eddie's ragged breathing.

Waiting another thirty seconds, Buck assesses whether it's safe to move. Eddie doesn't do anything but remain in his position, so Buck stands, wincing at the twinge in his knee, before he takes the one step over to the sink. As he's soaking a face cloth with cool water, Eddie's body rejects whatever remains in his body.

Draping the cooled cloth over the back of Eddie's neck, Buck runs his fingers through Eddie's sweat damp hair. "I'm just gonna go check on Chris," He tells the sick man quietly, "I'll be right back."

He sees Eddie's head move in a phantom of a nod, fingers still clutching tightly to the porcelain bowl.

Buck doesn't want to leave Eddie, but he needs to check on Chris and make sure he's not sick as well. Buck himself feels fine, and they all ate the same meal that Buck prepared, so he's hoping it's just a fluke instance that is only affecting Eddie. Even though he'd switch places with Eddie in a heartbeat if possible.

Knocking lightly on Christopher's door, Buck nudges it open enough to stick his head through. Chris is already sitting up, side table lamp on and blinking sleepily over at Buck.

"Hey, bud."

"Hey. Dad sick?"

"Looks like it." Buck nods. "How do you feel?"

Chris shrugs, "I'm fine."

"That's good. Let me know if that changes, alright?"

"Okay," Chris yawns and Buck smiles; he looks so much like the little boy he'd first met in moments like this. "You'll take care of Dad?"

"Of course. You go back to sleep."

"Mkay, night, Buck." Chris flicks off the light and flops back onto his bed, burrowing back into his blankets, clearly unconcerned about his father with knowing that Buck will take care of him.

"Night, Superman." Buck whispers, closing the door and heading back to the bathroom.

Eddie has shifted from curling over the toilet to leaning against the wall opposite, knees bent, head tilted back, and the face cloth now sitting on his forehead. The toilet lid is down.

Buck flushes once more, just to be safe, and then crouches beside Eddie once more. Brown eyes, glassy and unfocused, blink open.

"Wanna go back to bed?" Buck asks softly, hand coming to rest on Eddie's knee, thumb rubbing along the bare skin where Eddie's shorts have ridden up.

"Water. And mouthwash." Eddie rasps, grimacing at the soreness that's probably appearing in his throat from throwing up stomach acid. "Then bed."

"Coming right up." Buck nods, standing once more and gathering the requested items. He helps Eddie take a sip of water while still sitting, and then hauls him to his feet and takes most of Eddie's weight as he swishes around some mouthwash, spitting it into the sink.

"Chris?" Eddie asks, forehead dropped down onto Buck's shoulder.

"Asleep. He woke up briefly, but once he confirmed I've got you, he went back to sleep." Buck's hand moves in small circles on the small of Eddie's back. "We're fine. Looks like it was only you."

"Not your fault." Eddie mumbles, "Not your food."

Buck can't help but smile at that, hiding it in Eddie's hair. Of course Eddie would worry that Buck would feel guilty even while he's sick to his stomach.

"Let's get you back to bed, okay?" Buck asks instead, directing Eddie out of the bathroom and towards the bedroom. The bathroom light is turned off but the nightlight in the hallway along the baseboard is enough for Buck to see where he's going. That and he knows this house better than the back of his hand.

A minute later, Eddie is back in bed, immediately curling on his side, shivering as everything seeps out of him. Buck tucks the blankets around him, brushes the hair away from his forehead, and then goes to leave.

"Stay."

The word is barely a rasp, but it feels loud in the quiet room.

Buck doesn't say anything. He just closes the bedroom door, walks around the bed, and climbs in. He lays on his back, and ten seconds later, Eddie is shuffling closer, curling up against Buck's side. Buck winds his arm around Eddie and brings him even closer yet.

"Thanks." Eddie says on an exhale, breath hot against Buck's neck.

"Of course, Eddie." Buck replies just as quietly, "I've always got your back."

so guess how I spent my morning? good thing I was going home...not so good thing is I had to drive myself two hours to get back home...I didn't feel too bad after I got everything out of me. and I've felt fine since. but decided to put Eddie through it because why not :)

I think Leverage has a really neat take on the concept of revenge.

Because a lot of times, revenge gets framed as this inherently immoral act, like it doesn't matter how evil the person you want revenge on is, it doesn't matter that stopping them is a net positive for the world, revenge is just bad and wanting it makes you bad.

But I think that a lot of the problems with most revenge narratives come from the fact that the person/people seeking revenge put too much importance on getting revenge, but there's not enough catharsis in the actual act of taking revenge. They end up left with a whole lot of left-over righteous anger, and no acceptable targets left to vent it on. That way lies the bloodline ending feuds of greek tragedy and the like.

But Leverage says "No, actually you're right, that guy is absolutely terrible, he does need to be stopped and his victims should be awarded the catharsis of revenge." But then, instead of taking the easy way out of having Hardison siphon all the money out of their accounts, or sending Elliot over to their house with a baseball bat, they complicate the revenge plot. Instead of walking the easier path of the quick and unsatisfying revenge, they insist on poetic justice and dramatic irony and the complete and utter, very public destruction of the worst people in the world.

That's why I think Leverage feels different to, say, The Count of Monte Cristo, or other revenge-centric stories. They go the extra mile to tailor their revenge to the target, and give them Exactly what they deserve.

the joshphobia of it all

buddie - teen - 3.5k

“Eddie, your face is doing that thing again.” Eddie knows exactly what thing Hen means. He can feel it, how his expression has morphed into something unpleasant — his brows furrowed, his mouth set in a hard line. He’s pretty sure that if the power of a glare could set something alight, there would be one less 9-1-1 dispatcher in the world right now. Still, he asks, “What thing?”, because he’s had about three too many drinks to not be a bit of a bitch right now. But that’s hardly his fault. When Karen suggested a night out with the whole gang — a Pride event at a gay bar — Eddie had been an immediate yes. Sure, he had yet to come out to the team — had hardly had time to process it all himself, outside of the realisation that he had entirely not platonic feelings for his best friend and current housemate — but a night out was still a chance to all hang out. Between getting set back up in LA, Maddie having her baby, and Bobby’s resurrection, it had been a while since they managed to wrangle the whole group together. Eddie just didn’t realise until the ensuing group chat working through logistics, that that included one Josh Russo — Public Enemy Number One. Or: Eddie is not homophobic. He's Joshphobic.

wip whateverday

people have tagged me over the past while, it's too hot for me to go and find who, sorry/thank you everyone. here's a slice of my heat wave buddie fic i'm writing to get through the heat wave. this is from a scene where they go swimming

"Don’t look so kissable then," Buck says. "Right," Eddie says. He learns the shape of of Buck’s neck, his shoulders, his thick arms. Buck heaves a little breath and lets Eddie do it, lets him go on to his chest, a palm fitted to one pec, a finger drawn down his sternum. "How do I do that?" "Oh, uh." Buck swallows under Eddie’s hands, the bob of his Adam’s apple felt by Eddie’s fingers. "Don’t, uh, don’t look up at me or – or bat your eyes – and don’t turn all pink – " "I don’t bat my eyes," Eddie mutters. "You, uh, probably can’t get your hair wet. And m-maybe, you might need to just not look at me at all." His thumb strokes over Eddie’s lower lip, and Eddie goes still and calm, letting himself be handled. "Or – or else I’m gonna have to kiss you." A smile is tugging at Eddie’s mouth. He casts his eyes down, then deliberately back up to Buck; lets himself sink a few inches into the water so he’s looking up, and blinks deliberately. "Oh no," he says, should be dry, comes out breathy. "That would be horrible."

Tease Tidbit WIP WedTuesday

tagged by the lovely and talented @mangonadaeddie (space fic my most beloved), my amazing wife @bidisasterevankinard (<-- who successfully defended her paper for graduation today btw 😌)

so! *84 years later* i'm posting ch 2 tomorrow(!!!). everybody clap for me lol Seems like a good opportunity to self-promote a lil beforehand 🧜‍♂️

some sweet

“Really?! That’s-” Evan forcefully exhales, like he’s trying to appear calmer. It doesn’t help. Eddie thinks it’s adorable. “I would love that.” “Me too.” He adds, “I assume I won’t be interrupting fish university or anything important like that.” Evan’s laugh catches him off guard, loud and boisterous and stupidly infectious to the point Eddie can’t help but join in.  Stay, stay, stay.  “Can’t say we’re that fancy, Eds.” He suddenly frowns, knitting his brows together. “That’s not something from that mermaid movie is it?” Now it’s Eddie’s turn to burst into laughter, howling until he’s wiping tears away. “I can’t believe you’re still salty about The Little Mermaid.” “It's offensive!” Evan squawks indignantly.  “Oh, so you’ve seen it then?” “I-”  “Yeah. That’s what I thought.”

and bittersweet

Evan watches Eddie leave. Watches as he squares his shoulders only for them to fall again. As he becomes smaller and smaller and- Eddie stops, just past the end of the pier.  He shouldn’t, he really shouldn’t, but his breath catches and he hopes anyway.  His heart whispers ‘turn around’ and ‘please’ and ‘stay, stay, stay.’

�� Eddie starts walking again.

Tease Tidbit Tuesday!!

Tagged by @diazsdimples @mangonadaeddie who both shared WONDERFUL words y'all should absolutely show some love 🩷🩷

Still working on Stick With Me Baby!! The rewrite is so much more fun than the original y'all. Have some of what I just wrote:

Eddie runs a hand through his hair self consciously. “Well, from the sounds of things, they're not too different from you and I.” And doesn't that give him something to think about? “True,” Buck nods. “No concept of personal space.” “Practically joined at the hip,” Eddie says, taking a tentative step closer to him. “Can't keep their eyes off each other,” Buck adds. He makes a slow scan of Eddie's body, a sparkle in his eyes. His pupils have almost eclipsed the bright blue. Eddie determinedly ignores the blush rising on his cheeks and the tips of his ears. He lets himself look at Buck. Lets himself take in the curve of his muscles beneath his shirt and the hint of stubble along his jaw and the fullness of his lips. “Why would they look anywhere else?” The huskiness of his voice surprises him. “There's just one thing missing,” Buck says, a smile– no, a smirk– on his lips. He steps into Eddie's space, close enough Eddie can feel his hot breath fan his lips. Eddie's mouth goes dry and he swallows. “What’s that?” he asks, barely above a whisper. Eddie doesn't know who moves first. He'll think about it later. What matters is this: Buck cups his face in his hands, drawing him into a kiss that makes Eddie’s knees weak.
