Let’s make it 1 million and one!

“I’ve never seen you act like that before…”

Love you bestie

cw: mention of guns, reader is hurt, a little dark

"Lower it, Alvez." Spencer had to command once again "Now!" he urged once his initial instruction was ignored.

It was uncharacteristic of Spencer to get in between his teammates' field strategies, but once he saw you on the ground, puddle of blood beneath you, something took over him, something he couldn't stop.

"Alvez, you don't want to do this." the blond agent started his descalation protocol.

"The hell you know about what I want, Reid?" he almost growled.

He was bent over the body of a man the two of you were chasing, every vein on his arms and neck pulsating with rage as his gun was shoved half way through the suspect's mouth, breathing heavy, since he had visibly lost control.

The only reason he didn't shoot him right there, when he saw him on top of you, knife to your throat, was because there was a risk the bullet would ricochet on you, and the reason he didn't kill him the second he had him on the ground, was because Spencer had aimed his weapon at him.

"He's not the unsub, Emily confirmed the aliby." Spencer tried to reassure him.

"I don't care who the fuck he is, look at what he did." Luke clarified.

You could barely perceive the situation, the last thing you recall was your partner's voice asking for a medic on the radio, everything after that seemed blurry even when you hadn't lost consciousness.

The ruckus forced you to pay a closer attention, and your eyes finally focused on your infuriated friend next to you.

"Luke?" you said in almost a whisper.

The look he gave you at the sound of your voice was astonishing, and not in a good way, his nostrils were flared, jaw tight, and pupils dialated with fury. You couldn't flinch, but your breath hitched, and in your eyes he could see pure terror.

the pain he felt in his chest at that realization was too much to handle; he threw his weapon to the side to let Reid know he was no longer a threat, and in a swift move he rolled the suspect to cuff him.

Paramedics arrived shortly and your situation was assessed, you had lost blood, but nothing you couldn't recover from. Emily had put Alvez aside, giving him the usual 'the job does this to people' and 'you need some vacation' talk. Spencer remained by your side inside the ambulance until the paramedics told him you were ready to ride.

"Hold on, Reid, I'll ride with her." Luke trotted in the direction of the car.

"I don't think— " he began to say until you interrupted.

"It's okay, Spencer." you said before giving him a reassuring nod.

Luke jumped right onto the ambulance and sat next to you, his sight ashamedly placed someplace else.

"I'm sorry." he started, you saw his adam's apple blobble, almost as if he was trying to hold back tears.

"What for? Saving my life?" you asked almost mockingly, but when he didn't react, you continued "Don't be sorry for anything, Luke."

"That look on your face." he turned to face you "Like you were terrified of me. It pained me."

"I wasn't scared of you." you clarified "I was worried. I’ve never seen you act like that before."

"Well, you hadn't been in real danger before." he said, his demeanor still affected.

You reached, shakily and restricted by the IV, for his hands, and he hesitantly slip his into your palm.

"I'm okay now, because of you." you tried to ease his feelings. "Thank you."

He finally relaxed, and you could tell by the loud sigh that left his lips. A small smile drew on his face, and his digits gave you a light squeeze.

"Always."

Rover, obscure early LA punk teen scenester, Masque denizen and nowadays a Las Vegas mom of 10 children, as captured ca. '77-'78 at the Atomic Cafe, in the Little Tokyo district of Los Angeles (the photo was also used as the back cover of The Klan "Pushin' Too Hard" b/w "Cover Girls" 1980 single by Posh Boy).

Rose, aka Rover [a nickname her high school bestie gave her because she couldn't stay in one place but was happiest roving around] is one of those girls who, according to Alice Bag, "added life and color to the early punk scene and made it so very interesting. She also received one of the first wounds (six stitches in the scalp) in the "us against them" skirmishes that seem to occur whenever people are afraid or intolerant of those who look different from them. It's hard to imagine a time and place when having short, crazy-colored hair could provoke a violent reaction from a stranger, but that was what it was like in the 1970's."

As Rover recalls:

"I believe I took the first hit in the social war we had waged against the norm. I was 16 at the time. I was outside of the Canterbury with my friend Brian (from Fullerton) sitting on a parked car. Two guys drove past on a motorcycle and the passenger threw a wine bottle into our little crowd and it hit me in the head. I didn't know what had happened. I grabbed my head & knocked a hunk of glass out and it fell to the ground. Then, a rush of pain and a river of blood and I stumbled forward and leaned against the Canterbury for support. I was dazed and in a state of confusion. They grabbed me and helped me walk. Gerber & Natalie took me to Lorna Doom & Belinda Carlisle's apartment. Darby was there. The paramedics arrived and bandaged my head. They joked about my hair color, saying they couldn't tell what was hair color and what was blood. If I wasn't the first hit, then I guess I was a shot of energy to all those around me."

Being badly teased in school in So Cal just for being pale white, in '77 she was a 16-year-old who ended up actually living in the Masque, the Hollywood multi-roomed labyrinth, the club and a meeting spot that soon became the center of the universe to many punks, misfits, outsiders, degenerates and the nascent punk scene that began bubbling up around 1976, with groups like the Screamers, Germs, the Weirdos and the Zeros, the Bags and the Go-Go’s, who she also roadied for.

"I walked into my very first show [a Dickies show at the Whiskey, Dec. '77] and knew I had finally found my home planet!!!! Remember the Twilight Zone episode with Elly May Clampett? She was laying in a hospital bed with bandages covering her face, consumed with self hatred & confusion because she was born so ugly that she couldn't fit in with society. The bandages came off and all had failed. Then it's revealed that she is really beautiful in a world of ugly and has to go live in a community with others like herself. That's exactly how I felt when I walked into the Whisky that night. Everyone was pale and it was ok."

(***photo provided by artist & activist @regi-mentle-black-blog , another active participant in the early LA/SF punk scene and friend of Rover, who was also crashing at the Masque back in the day)

if you haven't already answered, i've been so curious about the jaykon firemedic au 👀👀

maya my beloved, thank you for asking!!!!! jaykon firemedic kon au is sooooo. i have so many thoughts about it. the au is huge and expansive in my brain. without making this a huge long post with disjointed thoughts, heres the rundown.

clex grew up together and were besties and then partners and trans!lex had kon as an oopsie baby when they were teenagers before they had the whole superman falling out. ma and pa took kon in bc neither lex or clark were able to take care of him since they were teens as well, and kon grew up thinking of clark as more of a brother than a dad.

bc kon's a biokid and not a clone, he has way fewer powers and what he does have are weaker. this means hes not a superhero, but he DOES want to save people, so he became a firefighter. he did the volly to paid route, and went to gotham u for fire science. when he got on with gcfd he showed interest in becoming a medic so they put him through paramedic school. kon is a huge nerd and keeps a huge medic kit at home, which is also just a good idea in general bc he lives in gotham, and also he taught himself how to do stitches for funsies.

jason is still red hood, and one night he got hit hard enough to slow him down near kon's place, and kon ends up taking care of him. jason keeps going back to get patched up by kon, and he totally has a crush on him.

i just want kon to be a badass firemedic, and also kiss jason 🥰

(ask me about my wips!)

#i have so much more backstory thought out than actual jaykon story thought out #but sometimes thats just how it goes #thank you for asking!!!#ask games #bean writes #bean speaks

Please, Don’t Go…

Yelena x Fem!Reader(Romantic)

Natasha x Fem!Reader(Bestie)

Clint x Fem!Reader(Step-Daughter)

Baby, Don’t Kill Him! (Part 1)

Yelena was curled up on a chair in the corner of your hospital room, listening to the taunting beeps of your heart monitor. Her mind was willing you to wake up, desperate to see your gorgeous eyes staring back at hers. She'd never seen you look so fragile before, your skin was cold and clammy, and it's more painful when she knows it was all her fault.

Clint quite literally had to carry her off the side of the rink after paramedics had carted you off to the hospital. No amount of words would break through the barriers her mind had put up. Kate was rushing towards them when he'd finally made it to his car, and after seeing the distant look on his face she'd remained silent, and wordlessly entered into the back.

The two expert assassins, who'd literally been engaged in a brawl with one another less than twenty four hours ago, now sit in relative silence, as they watch the rise and fall of your chest, and the jagged lines on your monitor.

———

"You need to eat..." Clint eventually murmured into the silence, as he tentatively approached the assassin with a tray of hospital foods.

"No." Yelena brushed him off, with a glare to rival Natasha's, but Clint isn't one to budge that easily.

"Listen kid, my daughter is rather frightening when mad, and if I don't keep you healthy she'll unleash her wrath on me. Then there's your sister, who will further haunt me for the rest of my days if I don't make sure you at least have a bite to eat."

"Not hungry."

"That can't be true, that fight was intense, and it's been nearly twelve hours..."

"I will eat when she wakes up."

"That's just unreasonable... Look, this isn't your fault... Y/N is stubborn, and strong willed, it seems you two have that in common. We were in the middle of a pretty heated fight, I know you just thought she was another tracksuit."

"Or Kate Bishop." She playfully grumbles, briefly interrupting him.

"Yes, or Kate." He chuckles, then takes the risk, and loosely throws an arm around her shoulder.

"My point is, I see the way you look at her, I know that you'd never hurt her on purpose, and she knows it too. She talks about you all the time, you make her insanely happy, and that means it's my job to take care of you while she can't. So eat, this isn't a debate..."

"Wow, you really are such a dad..." She playfully groans, as she appeases the man by grabbing an apple, chocolate chip cookie, and tiny water bottle off of his tray.

—

You groan as your consciousness returns to you, there's an immense pounding in your head, leaving you to feel as if your brain is being crushed beneath your skull. The sensation only seems to increase tenfold as you try to open your eyes.

It's rather blinding, as if you've been placed directly under the sun, but surprisingly there's no heat whatsoever. Instead, a chilly breeze, and utter silence surrounds you, which only confuses you further, and then you hear a voice breakthrough.

"Dorogoy, open your eyes..."

Yeah, you're definitely dead...

"We are on borrowed time, and have quite a lot to talk about Y/N/N..."

Your eyes curiously flutter open, an all too familiar face is smirking down at you, as a flurry of red hair cloaks your face, and fortunately blocks out the blinding light.

"There she is... Now, up you go." She cutely remarks before yanking you up from the ground, and apparently into a different scene.

You're now in what appears to be Central Park, which was where the two of you'd always spend most of your downtime together.

"The all white vibe was a bit too clinical, so I thought I'd make it more comfortable for us." She interrupts your thoughts, with the obvious answer to your minds wonderings.

"This is my mind playing tricks on me right? Like I'm dying, and it's showing me all my deepest desires?"

"Gross."

"Eww. Natty, no! I just—."

"I know dorogoy, I miss you too... Now, to answer your question, no. This isn't a mind game, it is more so the realm between life and death, where souls reside in limbo. You, my stupid little baby, died for about a whole minute, and your body is in quite a state right now. I'm simply here to see you because after I send your ass back, I don't think I'll get the chance again..."

"Why?"

"Well, I'm sort of trapped in this realm, bound to it by the sacrificial bylaws of that damn orange stone. So, when you actually die, and obviously make your journey downwards, I probably won't get the chance to see you again." She says, laughing rather loudly at the annoyed face she pulls from you.

"Asshole..." You grumble, slightly nudging her, then purposefully falling forward into her arms, and holding onto her for dear life.

"I never wanted to leave you guys behind Y/N, but I also refused to return to a world that didn't have my two favorite girls in it."

"It isn't fair." You sobbed against her chest, and she silently hummed out a tune, while giving you a moment to have your big feelings.

"You're right, but life seldom is dorogoy..." She relays to you with a sad smile on her face, as she wipes away at the tears staining your cheeks.

"Did you see why I'm here?" You humorlessly chuckle out, as you pull back and get yourself together as best you can.

"Yes, that was a lot, and it requires unpacking."

"Please, don't kill me, well—more than I already am I guess..."

"Oh, you talking about your relationship with my dear, little sister? I already knew before I died, I had actually come to briefly visit you before the lost battle. However, upon arriving to the diner I tracked you to, I saw you and Lena hitting it off. Once I heard the genuine laugh you pulled from her, I knew that it would be too important of a moment for me to interrupt. I mean, you being able to get a girl to laugh at one of your corny jokes? It was as if I had witnessed a miracle." She says, smirk never once leaving her face as she confirms your suspicions that she did in fact know.

Natasha always knows...

You slapped at her arm, as she laughed boisterously at the dig she threw your way.

"You say that like I'm not the funniest person you knew. I always had you laughing."

"I was your best friend, I had to laugh..."

"Mudak"

(Asshole)

"Your Russian is improving!" She gasps, as she lightly shakes you by the shoulders and you giggle.

"Yeah, perks of dating a beautiful Russian blonde." You beam as you stare down at your swinging feet as you sit beside her on the bench, completely missing the genuine smile that takes over her face.

"She's never had it easy Y/N, and I just knew if I let you two have your moment it could potentially be something beautiful, and that's something the both of you deserved. I couldn't have picked anyone better to love my sister, and I just knew she'd be perfect for you as well. The only regret I have is not being around to mercilessly taunt the two of you, well that, and not getting to hug you both one last time."

"You deserved more too Natty, so much more." You sobbed out once more, losing all former composure, as you threw yourself into her lap and aggressively cried into her shoulder.

She tightened her arms around your waist, slightly swaying the both of you in an attempt to soothe you. Much like she always used to do throughout the years, as you were navigating the world of heartbreak.

"Please, don't cry for me dorogoy, I lived my life to the fullest, knowing very well that it came with risks. I made many wrong turns along the way, all of which led me to the end, and I died at peace with that. I wouldn't leave you guys fatherless, and I wasn't going back empty handed knowing you and Lena had so much left to discover together. I lived an entire life while she was still held captive Y/N/N, it was only fair that I gave her the same chance. I knew she was safe with you, so I made the only decision available. I'm sorry for the hurt it clearly caused, but I'm not at all sorry for my decision."

As you listened to her, the flow of tears wasn't stopping, if anything it just fueled you on. In the two years that she'd been gone, you hadn't actually allowed yourself to feel the loss. Having always focused on everyone else's pain in place of yours. Natasha suddenly pulled you back from her shoulder when she'd noticed you gasping for air. She was genuinely worried that this will have some effect on your physical form if she didn't get you to stop...

"Y/N/N... I need you to breathe okay, come on, ." She tried, but clearly failed, as your lip continued to tremble, your head shook wildly, and your hands gripped her shoulders far too tightly.

"Dorogoy" ... "Detka"

—

Clint had left Yelena alone in the hospital with you, stating that he was going to switch out with your mom at the hotel she just checked into. This way a desperate Laura could come see you, and so that the kids wouldn't have to see you like this just yet.

"Just be cautious, my wife can pack quite the punch, tread lightly." Clint slightly jokes, before patting her on the shoulder and making his departure.

Yelena genuinely appreciated the fact that she was alone now, feeling like she could truly lower her walls, even if only just for a moment. Not wanting to waste anytime, she scurried to your side, and began to cradle your desolate face within her hands. Her thumb traced over your severely chapped lips, before she leaned down to gently peck them.

Her fingers then traced the outline of your face, as if she didn't already have your face memorized, and a whimper tumbled passed her lips. You've always been a light sleeper, so even if you usually fight getting out of bed, you'd always wake at the slightest of touches. She has always loved being able to kiss you into consciousness, but at the moment, your eyes aren't even fluttering beneath the lids, and it's breaking her heart.

"Detka,

It's me, Yelena, your—hopefully—girlfriend. I have to say, this is not exactly how I'd planned on meeting your parents..."

"I had a plan for this week you know, it was simple—kill Clint Barton, then pick up a bouquet of your favorite flowers, and drive up to spend the holidays with you and finally meet your family. I have wanted to meet them for so long, wanting to see who could've possibly raised such an angel. On the ice I was blindsided by falsified rage, that I didn't want to believe you. I was convinced Barton was a monster, but now I see the bigger picture, and I'm so incredibly sorry you got caught in the middle. I never wanted you anywhere near this part of my life, Y/N/N, I'm not exactly proud of it, but, it's also all I've ever really known."

There's a beat of silence, before she continues on with a story about her childhood experiences.

"You know, I've never gotten to celebrate Christmas before, well not a real one anyways. When Natasha and I were kids we were on a mission of sorts. I'd had no idea at the time, but the only part of Christmas I got to partake in was sitting by a tree. The boxes I had opened were empty, but I was young, and naive, so I didn't know any better. I'd honestly been looking forward to having my first real Christmas with you this year, I couldn't think of anyone more perfect for me to spend a magical day with. You need to wake up for me. I-I won't survive if you don't..."

...

"Please, Y/N/N, the life I've imagined for myself only works if I have you in it. Please, don't go detka, our story is only just starting..."

—

Suddenly your tightly shut eyes shot open at the sound of Yelena's broken voice. Natasha's eyes found yours, as she also focused in on the sound of her sister's voice, as she held you closer to her chest and swayed the two of you.

"...You need to wake up for me. I-I won't survive if you don't..."

A sniffle can be heard, a telltale sign to you that she's crying, and you can tell by the rasp in her tone that she's been doing it on and off all day.

"Please, Y/N/N, the life I've imagined for myself only works if I have you in it. Please, don't go detka, our story is only just starting..."

"Dorogoy, I think it's time you make it back, she sounds so broken, plus you don't want your to meet her alone..." She sadly chuckles out, while pecking at your temple.

"One more minute, please?!" You whimper as you smush your face against her.

"Okay, that's a fair request..."

...

"Well, let me say a few parting words... I believe it's time that you finally take Fury up on his offer and become a Shield agent Y/N/N. You're basically just a mini version of your mom, and while doing so, bring Lena with you. She should take over my mantle, but make sure she doesn't take my title, she can be like the White Widow or another shade of Widow. Please, take that poor Bishop girl under your guys wings, so that your dad can finally retire... Lastly, be careful with that ticker of yours, I don't want to hear or see you anywhere near this place for at least another fifty years."

"I'll consider it... I love you Natty." You relay, as you finally relinquish your hold on her.

"I love you too Y/N/N..." She coos, as a bittersweet smile takes over her face, and she cups your cheeks, then places a firm kiss to your forehead.

The affection makes your heart soar, your eyes close, and familiar woodsy scent floods your system. Her hands slowly drop from your face, and you feel a rather large gust of wind.

—

You're rather worried about opening your eyes, everything is rather dark, and the space around you is slightly warmer. Suddenly, your eyes fly open at the sounds of beeping flooding your ears, and at the sensation of your girlfriends forehead falling to yours, and her tears that fall upon your cheeks.

"Pretty girl, don't you cry, I'm okay..." You weakly croak out, and her body practically fly's backwards in pure shock.

"Detka?" She tearily questions, as her hands shakily reach for your face, and you turn to place a scratchy kiss to her palms.

"Yes, I'm right here sweetheart, and I'm not going anywhere. I'm here to stay, for as long as you'll have me, my damaged heart is all yours."

"Forever.. That's how long I want you..."

"Then forever it is." You reply with a simple smirk, and she rapidly kisses the entirety of your face before gently cuddling into you.

—

After an additional night in the hospital, and a very delightful—awkward—introduction between your mother and girlfriend, you're finally able to just embrace the holiday in all of its glory.

You're currently sat around a table in the living room of your parents house. The fireplace is roaring, you're lazily watching ahead as your mom expertly wrap the last of the gifts, your dad had almost immediately been benched to bow duty. The shaking beneath you makes you privy to your girlfriend's laughter, so that's when you peep open an eye to see your father fighting with a bow that's stuck to him.

An instinctive smile takes place upon your sleepy features at her happiness, followed almost instantly by a yawn. You're still not one hundred percent yet, so even though it's only 10:30PM, you could feel your eyes growing exponentially heavier as the time flew by. Not even a half hour later, do you shift in her lap to push your body further into hers, allowing her warmth, and loving embrace to lull you into a peaceful sleep.

"Merry Christmas detka..." Yelena whispers into your ear as the clock strikes twelve, and she finally picks your limp body up bridal style, and bids your parents goodnight.

"Merry Christmas Lena..." You groggily slur out, as you roll around to snuggle into her.

Honestly, I would love for you to rant in the tags about all of their medical errors in 911… Huge fan of medical professionals who point out mistakes in shows… Your perspective would be very intriguing

Ps. I also absolutely hated the inaccuracies during the shooting scene…

BESTIE!!!! I was literally just ranting to @athenagranted about this the other night like it makes me froth with rage. If you’re going to write a show that is ABOUT paramedics I absolutely beg of you to crack open a single training book….make some google searches….use your common sense even…..

The amount of inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the shooting scene alone made my eye twitch like first of all he got shot in the back with a lr/lc bullet and stayed standing? Then fell backwards? And the sniper was at a high elevation but his entry/exit wounds are almost parallel? Even the trajectory of his blood hitting buck makes me mad. Why did it spray upwards??!!!! And then they send him home from the hospital like three days later (???) with the most pathetic sling I’ve ever seen as if he wouldn’t be in unimaginable pain. And then he just regains full motility in that arm like nothing happened. My brother in Christ that is not how the human body works…..High velocity projectiles cause massive tissue damage and cavitation and I know that shit hit bone!!!! it’s not even remotely the same as being shot with something like a pistol or even an automatic rifle at closer range. And shoulders especially are sooo easy to fuck up permanently (speaking from experience). You cannot tell me he walked away from that without lasting damage.

#physically restraining myself from writing a whole essay here #to be clear I am not hating on the show. however. sometimes it makes me sooo grrrrr #asks #anonymous #anyway. even if it’s not mentioned always assume that the Eddie in my fics has a permanently fucked up arm

A primer on 9-1-1 and Buddie (Updated!)

I’ve heard from a couple of readers asking if they could read my fic without seeing the show, lemme help you with that!

The Show: “9-1-1″ is a pretty mainstream major-network procedural about first responders. The show centers around Firehouse 118 in Los Angeles. There’s also one LAPD character and also 9-1-1 dispatchers. Most of the seasons begin with a major disaster of some kind that spans several episodes. Generally the episodes feature several short vignetttes of emergencies, some wacky, some heartbreaking, along with through-lines of character plots. The lives of the characters are a big part of the show. It’s not like, revolutionary television, but it’s above-average in quality and the writing and acting are generally good. Also the music supervision is *chef’s kiss.*

The Characters: Here’s your besties.

From left to right:

Eddie Diaz (Ryan Guzman), firefighter, former Army medic. Didn’t join the show till season two. Has a currently 13 year old son, Christopher. who he is devoted to. He was a single dad when he joined the show; his wife had left the family to care for her sick mother and didn’t return. She eventually did but then died in a car crash right after asking Eddie for a divorce. That’s rough, buddy. Has PTSD from two tours in Afghanistan. Is super hot. Has nearly died twice. More on that later. Also had a period where he was working out his rage in an underground cage-fighting ring (Ryan Guzman is a former MMA fighter and I guess they couldn’t resist).

Hen Wilson (Aisha Hinds), paramedic, also went to medical school but chose to stay with the LAFD. Hen is married to Karen, a literal rocket scientist, they have a son, Denny, who was actually born to Hen’s ex-girlfriend who is a drug addict and in prison a lot. Hen and Karen are also foster parents. Hen is snarky and deeply committed to her job as a medical care provider. She once accidentally killed a civilian in a car crash while driving the ambulance and a traffic signal malfunctioned; she was traumatized (so was I, tbh)

Bobby Nash (Peter Krause), captain of the 118. Bobby has ghosts. Recovering alcoholic and pill addict, he blames himself for the deaths of his wife and two children along with over 100 people in their apartment building when he snuck away to drink, left a space heater running, passed out, and the building burned down. Was suicidal for most of the first season - he was waiting to save the same number of people who died in the fire before he could go. In recovery and seems pretty stable now, especially after meeting Athena, who he is now married to. Bobby is also a fabulous chef and father figure.

Athena Grant (Angela Bassett), LAPD sargeant. Yes, that’s Angela Bassett. Sometimes people are surprised. Athena started the show with her husband informing her that he’s gay; through the first season they amicably split. They have two kids, May and Harry, May’s in college and Harry’s a teenager. Athena and Bobby started dating at the end of season one and married in season two and now enjoy a pretty cool blended family situation along with Michael and his partner, although those last two have now left the show, probably for good. Athena is a badass.

Maddie Buckley (Jennifer Love Hewitt). 9-1-1 dispatcher. Joined the show in season two mostly to replace Connie Britton, who was only on for one season. Maddie is Buck’s older sister (much older). She was in a very violently abusive relationship for years while working as a nurse; when she joined the show she was fleeing her marriage and came to her little brother’s apartment. Her husband later found her, kidnapped her, and she ended up stabbing him to death. She had been starting to date Chimney at the time; he was also nearly killed by her ex. She and Chimney have a daughter together. Maddie had terrible PPD after giving birth and fled for a time (real reason: JLH’s maternity leave) and Chimney went to find her. He did, and they returned, but broke up but reconciled and are set to get married mid-season 7. Maddie is very devoted to Buck. More on that in a minute.

Howard “Chimney” Han (Kenneth Choi). Firefighter/paramedic. Chim is the senior paramedic in the house. He suffered terrible rejection by his father back in Korea and tried various way to make his way in LA before becoming a firefighter. Started the show with a bit of romantic desperation and inferiority complex but has grown in confidence considerably. Had a memorable storyline in season one when he was in a car crash that drove a rebar straight through his head; he recovered. Chimney is sometimes referred to as comic relief which isn’t really accurate although he is definitey a little shit. Nearly killed by Maddie’s ex-husband when he was attacked literally on his way to their first date. He and Maddie have a daughter, Jee-Yun. We do not know why he is called “Chimney” and every time it’s referenced, it’s that the story is not suitable for polite company.

Evan “Buck” Buckley (Oliver Stark). Firefighter. This is an ensemble show but you could make the case that Buck is the main character. Buck started out as the cocky hot-guy no-rules player but quickly evolved past it, starting with a serious S1 relationship where he fell in love with then basically got ghosted by Connie Britton. Buck is very dedicated to his job and considers the firehouse his family; Bobby is a surrogate dad to him in many ways. He and Maddie were very close as kids (well, Maddie was a teenager and Buck was a kid) but his parents never paid him much attention. He learned in S4 the family secret: Buck is a savior baby. His parents had him to be a marrow donor for his brother Daniel, who had leukemia. He was a match but Daniel died anyway, and his parents more or less wrote him off, causing him to take crazy risks to the point of getting hurt to get attention. Was struck by lightning and dead for 3 minutes 17 seconds (according to Eddie) and spent an episode in a come before waking up. Buck is one of those characers who’s a sweetheart and you wanna hug him but you also wanna strangle him. Sidenote: Oliver Stark is actually British, and if you’re noticing a red mark on his brow, that’s a birthmark Oliver has IRL.

The Ship: Buck & Eddie (Buddie)

Ok.

So I’ve sailed a lot of ships, canon and non-canon, and this is maybe the most canonical non-canon ship I’ve sailed. I’ve had people send me Asks saying they’re gonna start watching and when do the two hot firefighters get together?

Answer: they haven’t. But the fact that people think they have just from the tumbls gifs and photosets is...a thing.

Anyway.

When Eddie joined the firehouse he was presented (in literal slow-mo with “Whatta Man” playing) as a Threat to Buck’s “young hot firefighter” supremacy. But he soon proved himself super competent and also really nice so by the end of his first episode, he and Buck were pretty much already besties. They’ve only become more so as the show’s gone on.

A big factor in this is Eddie’s son, Christopher. He has cerebral palsy, and Buck has been helping Eddie parent him for awhile now. Buck saved Christopher from a tsunami (although he thought at one point he’d lost him and it was horrible) and Eddie flat-out told him that there’s nobody he trusts more with Chris than Buck. In fact, in season four, Eddie revealed that he’d changed his will so that if something happened to him, Buck becomes Christopher’s legal guardian (and not, say, Eddie’s parents, who had cared for him in the past when Eddie was overseas). Buck adores Christopher, and the three of them are often treated like a family unit on the show. Blatantly and textually.

Buck has had to watch Eddie almost die twice. Once, Eddie was down a well saving a child and the shaft collapsed on top of him. Buck literally threw himself on the ground, clawing at the mud, screaming his name. The other occasion was when Eddie was shot by a sniper while they were standing on the street (the sniper was targeting firefighters). Buck risked his own life to haul Eddie into a firetruck so they could escape, later told Christopher what had happened, and broke down into sobs when he got the message that Eddie would survive.

Buck’s leg was crushed near the end of season two, and at the beginning of the next season he’s still recovering and Eddie is generally viewed as being in charge of Buck’s recovery. Buck later sues the department and their captain in particular to get his job back and Eddie is PISSED, but not because Buck is suing - it’s becase the suit means they can’t talk to each other and Christopher misses him. When Buck was struck by lightning, Eddie was the one shouting HIS name, and he’s the one who got his heart started again and was later seen weeping in Buck’s hospital room when he brought Chris to visit.

There’s no textual indication that either are not straight. ETA: This is no longer the case! Early in season 7 Buck had his first bisexual experience, a kiss with a fellow firefighter (not Eddie). As of 7x04 Buck is canonically bisexual; we’ll see how this plays out. Eddie’s never shown much interest in dating or hooking up (a lot of fic authors read him as demisexual, myself included). He slept with his wife a few times when she showed up but then she died. He had another girlfriend who he was, frankly, very lukewarm about - he had actual panic attacks when anyone mentioned her being around for his future. Eddie currently (as of 7x04) has a girlfriend who has been a virtual non-presence on the show so we’ll see how that goes, and if Buck is trending towards a boyfriend, that’s interesting.

I go back and forth as to whether the showrunners actually mean to go there. I can’t decide if Buck’s bisexuality makes it more or less likely to happen (you can make the argument either way). Even if they don’t, the way they write this very close, emotional friendship between two men is pretty great. It’s hard to know how much of what we see is colored by shipper goggles, but it’s honestly pretty close to the surface. Most of the time I’m very doubtful this will ever happen. I’d love to be pleasantly surprised. The 9-1-1 franchise (there are two shows) does not shy away from queer characters. Aside from the main cast, there are frequently incidental or guest star queer characters on both this show and Lone Star (which has a gay couple, a bisexual woman, and a trans man in the main cast).

But it’s fun to write about.
