Eddie pets him through the fabric and pictures tugging him out to say—Yes. Yes, you can help with money. Yes, get tangled up with me. But he can’t say that. Not when, soon enough, it'll also mean saying: Yes, let’s have a—

Buck wants a baby. Eddie can't think about what he wants.

E.M. Forster from Maurice (1971)

it’s interesting when I read some fics and it feels supremely ooc. like, the prose will be great, but you can tell when a writer only likes or cares about one of the characters, not both of them or their dynamic with each other. they’ve done the work to understand one but not the other. when one of them exists for the sole purpose of serving the other’s needs and/or narrative journey. that could be any hot dude with a great dick or hole and the other one will be fully fleshed and their dynamic will feel kind of off, and not at all reflective of how they interact in canon? obviously there’s an element of indulgence with fanfiction in general, but sometimes it’s super clear that: oh okay you just want to write [character of preference]/OC, I see you…

He’s already here. There’s no harm in staying. Just for a couple minutes. Something could happen. Something could go terribly wrong. There could be, like, a robbery or something. Something could catch on fire, and Buck is a firefighter! An asteroid could even descend cinematically from the heavens ready to wipe out all of humanity. Accidents happen, Buck is intimately acquainted with this fact of life. Buck really wishes he had that coffee right about now. But he’s not gonna leave.

Or, Eddie tells Buck he’s moving to Texas. In response—as the world’s most supportive, caring and well-adjusted best friend—these are three things Buck absolutely does not do:

Keep tabs on Eddie, his calendar activity and his iPhone location so that he can spend as much time with Eddie as humanly possible before he leaves.

Almost violate California Penal Code 646.9.

Lose his entire fucking mind.

my latest bind! it's of my own 9-1-1 fic, and i probably could've gone for a half-letter size, but i decided to make a chunky little quarto instead. the case is inspired by some prototypes @badbladebindery created for one of their fics (which are sooo awesome and beautiful).

the case is made of 9 different pieces of chipboard, with lokta paper on the "base" layer and bookcloth on the top layer. art and titles are htv. i would've adjusted my art so the top of the bone wasn't folded over the edge, but alas, i was not paying attention to edges. (I also applied the htv before gluing those boards to the base layer, so i didn't fold the bookcloth until later.

i keep experimenting with homemade bookcloth. now i've actually gotten into using wheatpaste with kozo paper as backing instead of heatnbond, and it's way better. the black fabric here is a quilting cotton, and it's a lot more solid than some other cotton fabrics i worked with. one day i will use actual bookcloth and have better comparisons, but not today.

anyways back to fighting indesign !!

okay wait i'm obsessed with the good cologne being a shorthand for eddie wanting to fuck. like yes please. and i think it happens naturally over the course of the beginning of their relationship so its almost like buck has been pavlov'd into expecting to get off if eddie is wearing that cologne. does that make for some inopportune boners? duh

i was about to say buck gets pavlov'd into it.....but then i finished reading your ask and ANYWAY YES HE GETS PAVOLVED. it's not even a conscious thought. he will smell the cologne and not even REALIZE he's smelling the cologne and yet...for some reason....he's feeling suddenly intensely horny........

just like Eddie is pavloved by Buck's incessant fiber consumption........they are truly a match made in. deranged heaven.

"I get used to it, I guess. Kind of. After a while,” Eddie says. Then, very quietly, “I’m just, uh, sensitive.” “Oh,” Buck says. Eddie's just sensitive. Eddie, his best friend, who he has now seen when he comes. Who comes in under a minute if he isn’t getting some on the regs. This is – this is – interesting.

Love and premature ejaculation.

your lips feel like hope,

Several Sentences Sunday

@wildehacked tagged me :D here's a bit of my current magical realism wip which takes place after the lightning strike:

“You going to keep me in your sight?” Buck offers like a solution, raising an eyebrow, and then Eddie gives him a look that wipes the breath out of his chest, because Buck knows that look, contemplative and acknowledging, as if it’s a genuine offer and not a joke, and then he thinks he gets it, both for Eddie, to have him safe and close, and for himself, to be close and in the place that feels most right. He wouldn’t have to call in the morning, because in that other universe Eddie’s house didn’t exist. There, the couch wouldn’t have the creases from Buck sleeping on it so often. There, the place called home would smell like something different, nothing like Eddie’s cologne, or Christopher’s toothpaste, or the woodsy body wash the three of them share, and Buck’s entire body feels tender and achy at the thought of that, of not having it, of getting it back. Then he thinks of waking up in Eddie’s house, and the tenderness gets impossibly softer, more fragile, and Buck wants that reassurance every time, to hear Eddie’s voice close by. How could his dream bother him there? How could anything, really?
