So happy going through my feed and tags and seeing so much positive Carter content after being puzzled at all the hate he gets elsewhere. This may be what I needed to get excited about ER again. Keep it up, all of you!

I have to admit I’m not even watching this show for the political dialogue at this point because it’s hard to follow and moves so fast. But more for the little moments like Jed and Abbey having a yelling argument, realizing it’s their first fight in the Oval Office, and then immediately going back to normal speaking level and talking about how they don’t want their daughter to date while walking out arm in arm. Now that’s love and marriage.

I feel like Buck might be lying when he said he never watched Glee. 😂 Maddie calling him out too!

“Are you going to listen to me from now on?”

“I’m not even listening to you now.”

“I’m a woman in my prime; I’m a prime woman” is my new life slogan when I need to kick some ass.

“Athena’s flying that plane.”

“Of course; what else would she be doing?”

Love how Bobby’s just so chill about this since he’s seen what Athena can do to push herself just a little further in every emergency.

I love Jeb even more now that I’ve learned he’s married to a doctor! And I also adore the way Abbey takes care of him and takes charge when she comes back, like thanks for the help official White House Doctor but I’m here now and can figure this out.

Leo’s “Who the hell is this guy and why should I care if he has a Merry Christmas?” describes me at the holidays being forced to spend time with extended extended family that I see once a year and do not care about. So, relatable.

I’m still not sure who my favorite and least favorite West Wing characters are, but my early votes are Jed for favorite (because of his love of useless trivia and how supportive he is of his staff overall) and least favorite is Sam because he seems like a terrible date and the show could’ve done without his call girl plot.

Just random thoughts from someone who’s only seen eight episodes of this show.

Also, the dialogue is really quick and witty…I never get bored with the back and forth.

Showcasing another genfic as @genuary-fic-event continues!

In this Coburn family fic, Janet suffers a concussion and Caitlyn stays with her to look after her while she recovers. However, things get tense when Caitlyn’s anxiety and concern becomes more visible than it should, and she has to re-learn how to best support her mother and understand her needs.

Can easily be read fandom blind. Good fic if you like role reversal (daughter taking care of her mother), doctor as the patient, hurt/comfort and fics about healing from an injury.

This was one of my favorite fics to write because it’s always a good challenge to put Coburn in a vulnerable position and see how she responds (slight spoiler alert: she is not a good patient).

Also today: Posted my first story for @yearoftheotpevent!

Prompt chosen: Slow dance

Pairing: Bobby/Athena

Fandom: 9-1-1

[drelizabethgreene]

For my first submission to @genuary-fic-event I chose my project from NaNoWriMo 2023, and my first fic of over 100,000 words. This fic spans 13 years from 1996 through 2009 (with an epilogue set in early 2010) and goes through the ups and downs Coburn faces at work and in her personal life while she goes through recovery.

While it is in the ER fandom and contains references to canon events and includes friendships with canon characters, you can read fandom blind if you’re so inclined, as there are also plenty of original characters and a lot of character development for Coburn that isn’t in the show.

TW: heavily reliant on themes of alcoholism, some references to depression

The “wacky hijinks on the way to the wedding” is probably my least favorite TV trope now. I really wish they had just let Maddie and Chim have the nice formal wedding, and for the love of God, skip all the Doug dream sequences. I get it was a key part of Maddie’s past but let it stay dead on her wedding day…

The ending of the episode was sweet though.

“Telling Buck no is like telling a dog not to hump your leg.”

If that’s not accurate…

This is one of my favorite quotes in the movie.

“You’ll wish you were going to jail after a month with me.”

I think I would wish that too if Athena were my mom (as much as I love her as a character!)

Watching the 9-1-1 episode that opens at the Bachelor mansion and thinking that Buck totally watches The Bachelor. But Josh is the real scene stealer when he gets on the call…
