One of the reasons why I've always thought that pairing up Eddie or Buck with a brand new character who's only brought in as a love interest will simply not work, is the fact that the rest of the mains are all paired up with other mains.

Bobby and Athena. Maddie and Chimney. Karen is the only wife who's not a real main herself, but her character and her and Hen's relationship are both so fleshed out and beautiful that she still feels like a main.

This is the main reason why, in my opinion, it's always going to feel so incredibly lacking to try and pair up Eddie and Buck with random new people. When we're so used to knowing and loving both parties in a romantic relationship on this show. It's one of the many reasons why I feel like endgame romantic Buddie is the only thing that's going to feel fair to their characters.

Which leads me to the genious choice of Tommy being brought back to be Buck's new love interest. Tommy, who's already an established character in this universe. Tommy, who's already got history with members of the 118 that aren't Buck. Who was insinuated to be a closeted gay long before he was gonna be Buck's bisexual awakening. Who said he thought Kirsten Stewart was too broody way before the show decided to pair him up with someone as sweet and bright as Buck.

And even now that he is a love interest, he still gets to keep a personality of his own. He still gets to be a little reserved when meeting up Buck for coffee at the end of the episode, hesitant to say yes to another date, because he's allowed to look after his own heart and not wanting to be hurt by someone who might still be in the closet, unlike himself. Like that is such a real and fair choice to make for yourself as a queer person, and I'm so happy they let him be all that.

I still think endgame Buddie is the thing that'll make the most sense for this show and its characters. But, my god, is it hard to be anything but fucking thrilled about having Tommy around right now.

imagine at the madney wedding maddie throws the bouquet and she throws it so hard that it hits buck in the head behind the crowd of women while he's talking to eddie. then buck picks it up, laughs, and turns to kiss tommy. and eddie looks just a little sad.

Buck, muffled because Tommy's cock is balls deep in his mouth:

"see, I told you I'm an ally"

[dear-someone-letterstomyself]

Okay.

So.

This is what I imagine is gonna play out.

Tommy shows up for Maddie and Chims wedding, takes his seat and waits patiently. Things seem to be taking a long time and Evan isn’t responding to his texts… Odd but whatever, weddings run late, it happens so he doesn’t panic or anything. Suddenly someone sits next to him, that’s right, it’s Josh, they make some small talk, but as things continue to be delayed they end up having some nice long conversations.

Shit ensues, eventually Chim is found, JUST in time for them to have their ceremony. Right after Buck immediately runs off to find Tommy and Eddie feels a little twinge at that… even tho he also needs to go find Marisol and Christopher, he still has a teeny moment of… is that…abandonment??

Later at the reception Buck does in fact get to dance with Tommy, it’s magical, but once again, Eddie feels… something… he should be dancing with Marisol, he should be feeling a kind of way about his own relationship in this romantic atmosphere but instead it feels like all he can do is watch the two men slow dance…

The wedding passes and Buck and Tommy continue to date, Eddie begins to avoid hanging out with the two of them, Buck notices that he’s getting weird… and an inevitable (probs heated) confrontation ensues.

No cheating happens but everything gets laid out on the table, suddenly everything between the two of them becomes absolutely crystal clear… Buck has a difficult conversation with Tommy, who actually totally understands and to a certain extent thought this was going to happen sooner, Eddie has a conversation with Marisol (if she’s still around… tbh I dunno how long term she seems…..) she’s obvs sad but also to a certain extent gets it…

Then after all affairs are in order, probably a natural disaster/major fire related event or something delays this to the point where the tension is unbearable… Buck and Eddie finally get to be together.

AND we don’t lose Tommy because remember that nice conversation he had with Josh at the wedding?? Yeah he happens to run into him again after the Buck breakup and they really, really hit it off, because you know what Josh deserves? A soft sweet romance with someone who understands his world and who better than soft sweet Tommy Kindard 🥰

…. Anyways I really think I’ve connected the dots here…. Y’all are welcome…. ✌🏼

I have gone down the rabbit hole of reading Tommy Kindard/Evan Buck Buckley fanfics.

And I fucking love every minute of it.

Like i did not know I would love it as much as I love Buddie.

But I love it.

Like guys- if we don’t get Buddie, I’m fine with this.

Though I think ABC may do it.

They have been giving us everything we have wanted since they took over.

Have we come up with a ship name for these two yet?!?!
