#I read 911 as the date version for the longest time and was very very confused cos I was like is it set in 2001 or nah

[rosyandraw]

No but why is 911 literally all over my socials right now? I mean specifically buck and eddie like damn, I hadn't even heard of this show until a week ago and now these 2 fuckers are all I see and I haven't seen a single second of the actual show.

So here's what I've absorbed entirely from social media:

Buck is a pretty newly minted Baby Bi and Eddie is his (hot) BFF and they have a Would-Be thing and people are feral for them.

Baby Bi got with an NPC generic stock photo of a man that is some kind of GI Joe and opinions... differ wildly (I assume cos it smacks of network distraction/consolation?)

Eddie is messy and has like a dead wife (or two?), a girlfriend (or two?), a brain tumour, and catholic guilt

Buddie have shared guardianship of a kid? Or like, straight up have a kid? From where? Who knows, but there's a kid.

Firefighters seem to be in mortal non-fire-related peril a lot.

Eddie is insanely hot, this has nothing to do with anything really but it needed saying again.

But yeah, anyway, rooting for you guys, my cynical millennial heart would be healed by proxy after all of the many many times a show used a fan favourite (queer) ship as advertisement with no follow through.

Now how am I the only person in the world not watching this show?? And is it worth a look?

this is a super old fic from back in 2012, but it was one i remember being one of the first where i desperately had a story i WANTED to read but no one seemed to have written it. i'm pretty sure i posted on LJ prompt threads trying to find people to write it, but nobody did so it was finally left up to me. is it my greatest fic ever? nah, but it's a solid AU and i've gone back a time or two to read it and i find that the themes and character motivations and emotions are still there. it's also a fic i loved so much that i ended up adapting into an original short story.

people find where they belong (gen | 1/1 | 3k+)

very random, but i have a soft spot for this gen 911 fic! i tend to avoid lawsuit arc fics like the plague these days, but back during summer 2020 when i was still new to the fandom, i wanted to tell my point of view of this story. it's not a v popular fic, but i liked getting a chance to write about buck's state of mind and his personal thoughts about the lawsuit, while also affording bobby the share his own explanations. i think it's a good example of a missing moment from canon.

so show me (family) (buddie | 1/1 | 16k+)

this fic poured out of me in the span of a weekend, but it is, weirdly very personal to me. i put a lot of my own life experiences into the fic to flesh out buck's relationship with his parents pre-s4 and i think this was a good example of a fic that evolved with edits and got stronger as i worked on it. i know the buckley parents were eventually introduced, but i still prefer my version of them lol

so far from who i was (gen | 1/1 | 1k+)

speaking of buckley parents: this fic sort of haunted me for the week after buck begins aired. it's like margaret's voice was just...present, waiting to be listened to. it's probably one of my shortest fics, but i think this is an example of a fic that was just the right length—it fits her character. this is margaret at some pre-canon point in time contemplating her parenting of buck and the loss of daniel. i don't think she's a character that would want to think too long on it, so the briefness works towards its benefit. and i think this fic adds some complexity to the character that she wasn't afforded in canon, and i liked fleshing her out a little. really considering the story from her point of view.

surprise, surprise, here's my longest fic to date that took me 7 years to write. is it a perfect fic? nah. is it a fandom favorite? nope. but is it MY fic? did i love it? did i spend years thinking about it and working on it? yes.
