lore accurate

[chronicowboy]

can't wait for chimney to find out that there's a super secret, exclusive, james bondy lafd poker league and that eddie who has been firefighting half as long as him was invited before he was

Someone posted about the idea that Chimney & Eddie have kissed, and I can not stop thinking about it.

Hear me out sometime between season 5 & season 6 before Madney got back together, they went to a baseball game together and ended up on a kiss cam and just went fuck it and kissed. Like no romantic feelings involved but just a bit of alcohol and fun, and they've never spoken about it again because it's a non-issue.

But the 118 are having a conversation, and Chim just goes Eddie's an excellent kisser. Everyone just goes silent from shock. And Eddie's just like, you're not so bad yourself. But then they're like what, why, when, how, where?

Anyway, I'm gonna need someone to write me a fic. Please. Thanks.

So . . . I did another one. Apparently I’m a Howdie (Chimney/Eddie) fic writer now? Ao3 link & fic below.

Here is Your Happiness

Chimney meets Eddie while he’s still at the academy.

With a deep sigh, Chimney climbs out of his car and starts the trek inside. He makes his way through the building - stopping like always at the wall of fallen firefighters to pay respect to Kevin - in search of the the Drill Master.

It wasn't that he disliked helping at the academy, but ever since he came back from the rebar accident, Bobby has been quick to choose Chimney when the chief asks him to send someone over to help out. Not ever time, not enough that Chimney could call him out on it, but it was enough that he noticed. There was nothing that Chimney could point out as Bobby being overly cautious or holding him back, but he could feel it sometimes - a second of hesitation, a glance at the fading but still visible scar on his forehead.

He's just been feeling kind of down lately. He's really not in the mood to spend the day with a bunch of 20 year olds that think the job is going to be all big fires, heroic saves and a surefire way to get laid. It certainly hasn't been any of that for him lately - after things with Tatiana fell apart, he's been slow to pull the trigger on dating again. He feels ready, but he can't seem to make that final step and actually approach someone.

"There you are, Han!" He starts as the Drill Master claps him on the shoulder. "Ready to see what this new batch of recruits got?"

Chimney forces a grin. "Always, Captain. Lead the way."

****

He clocks Diaz early on. At first he thinks the guy is an older recruit - the way he holds himself, always addressing the Drill Master and Chimney as 'sir.'

"I love when we get a military guy," Anderson says to him at one point. "They get the chain of command - I don't have lecture about how to obey orders."

"Diaz was military?"

"Yeah - got a medal even. Hey - you should talk to him! He's going to be a damn good firefighter but he was a medic overseas. He might be interested in hearing about the paramedic side of things."

"Maybe I will . . . "

******

Beautiful. A beautiful, beautiful man. That's the only thought that's running through Chimney's mind as Diaz removes his helmet.

He's starting to slump against the firetruck when he notices Chimney walking towards him and straightens up. "Sir. Did you have feedback on the last drill?"

"Relax, man." Chimney gives a grin. "You're running circles around some of these kids." He sticks out a hand. "And call me Chimney. The Drill Master might like that sir crap, but I don't need it."

The other man's posture softens and he smiles, shaking Chimney's hand. "I'm Eddie."

The pair lean against the truck and turn to watch as other recruits take their turn in the timed drill. He hides it well, but Chimney can see a faint smirk as the times are called out - Eddie set the record for today and it doesn't look like anyone is going to beat it.

"So, I'm assuming you came over for a reason?" Eddie asks as the Drill Master berates the recruits that lost their "civilian" in the drill.

"Well, I've been told you were in the army."

"Yup." The reply is short, not mean but not leaving room for questions either. Chimney barrels on anyway.

"Well, Anderson mentioned you were a medic? I've been a paramedic for over a decade now. So if you ever wanna talk about going that route, I'm your guy!" And, oh. Why did he phrase it that way? But my GOD his eyes are like a Disney princess and it's doing things for Chimney.

A smile grows on Eddie's face. "The goal right now is not wash out, but I'll keep it mind."

Chimney scoffs. "Wash out? Stations are going to be fighting over you, man. I would bet good money on you being the top of this class."

Eddie's cheeks get a hint of pink and Chim prays he's blushing and it's not just the late day LA heat. "Thanks." He's quiet for moment, then adds: "If I'm going to be such a hot commodity, I assume you have some recommendations on which stations I should pick?" Was that . . . flirting? God he hoped so.

Okay, he can be smooth here. "Obviously. Maybe some night we can get together for some pizza and beer. I'll give you the downlow. I mean, the 118 is the best by far, but I can give you a few good second choices."

Eddie considers it, the blush (and it has to be a blush, right?) still faintly gracing his frankly gorgeous cheekbones."I don't know - does this dinner include the story behind the name 'Chimney?'"

"I'm not that easy, Diaz. That's like, 10th date material at least."

A genuine laugh escapes Eddie and Chimney can't get over his warm smile - it feels special, not a normal everyday smile. (It's way too soon to think its just for him, right?)

"I bet I can get it by the third date."

Chimney feels a flutter in his stomach. "I guess we'll just have to see about that, huh?"

(He makes it to the fifth date.)

Oh he's so sooo drunk 🥂

[f1endish]

Eddie: Am I in trouble?

Charlie: Take a guess.

Eddie: No?

Charlie: Take another guess.

[amazonthese]

We believed. We got.

[euphoriaface]

do yall think they explored each other's bodies

[chronicowboy]

okay i know we're all salty about not seeing the buddie hoover hand-off, but i wouldn't trade in the cheddie attempted hand-off for anything. the little insights into chim and eddie's friendship (we are being fucking fed this season, i'm so used to giving etc etc). chim saying "i'll tell you later" in that way u do when you want to sit down over a drink and talk shit about the entire issue from the very beginning. eddie's little "that was weirder than usual", proof that eddie has been over to maddie and chim's apartment more than once or twice for group hangouts. eddie being desperate comfortable, maybe worried, enough to show up at chim's unannounced after chim didn't answer his calls for three hours. i am living for my cheddie.

[crucihoee]

chrissy would doodle random things on eddie's arms or even add a devil horn or such things on top of his tattoos & eddie would unironically get those doodles tattooed, shush it's canon.
