New Fic: Promising Light

It's almost midnight, but I DID IT. I hope you all enjoy!

Summary:

Buck and Eddie fall asleep drunk and in separate rooms after the night of Buck and Tommy's breakup. They wake up seven years later, in an unfamiliar future, only to find out that they're married.

Snippet:

Confirming his suspicions, Buck rolls over to face the person cuddling him, breaking the embrace and the more, uh, intimate contact. To his immense and stomach churning confusion, it’s Eddie. Sleepy and groggy, eyes not even open. But still. Eddie. 

Holy fuck. 

“Eddie?” Buck demands. 

Eddie’s eyes snap open. 

There’s a brief moment where Eddie is sort of frozen. Like a deer in the headlights. Then, he goes a bit pale. He looks down at his erection. Then, he rolls back away from Buck like Buck has burst into flames. 

“What the fuck?” He demands.

“I didn’t…” Buck struggles. “I don’t even remember… How?”

not to be anti-religious but i do wonder if teaching children that they are innately flawed and sinful is, perhaps, not a healthy worldvi

Last Line Tag

always a pleasure to get a tag from you, @cal-daisies-and-briars 😁

I've been lazy lately, but I did make a little progress this evening starting chapter 3...

How did he get back to his loft?

no tags tonight though 🫶🏻

This is the first post in a series of three about Buck’s apartment on 9-1-1.

Part two is here and part three is here | Eddie’s house

Here we go! Buck’s loft! Right, well, just a heads up, this post is probably going to be more information than anyone other than me would want, because Buck’s loft is maybe my favorite set on the show. It cannot be overstated how much I am in love with it. Which I’m sure will become very clear within a few paragraphs. But anyway, let’s get started!

So, here we have the birds eye view of the floorplan as a whole, both the downstairs and upstairs. At least on desktop, that image is 4k, so you should be able to zoom in and look around at stuff.

Who wants some new shooting angst?

Have you ever thought about how the place where Eddie gets shot looks like it’s downtown? And then thought about how Buck lives downtown? And have you ever wondered how close to Buck’s apartment the site of Eddie’s shooting is?

Well, I have. And now I have a relatively definitive answer: It’s pretty close.

As I explained in my post about Buck’s loft, I feel pretty confident that Buck’s loft is somewhere in the Historic Core, the highlighted rectangular area below. The blue star is the building that was used for his apartment in s2.

The red star is where Eddie was shot.

That intersection is the corner of W 12th St and S Hope St. Which, this isn’t the only time they’ve filmed along Hope St, so it’s a complete coincidence, but like… Come on. Hope Street. That’s so on the nose. (Also, it's actually three minutes from a hospital, so they get additional accuracy points for that.)

Below are some exterior shots from google along with exterior shots from 4.13. And more of my thoughts about the angsty possibilities of this information.

As you can see below, they filmed the interiors at this same location.

The brick building is an event/filming space called Hudson Loft that they built Charlie’s apartment in for shooting. The bottom two images above are from the company’s website.

Anyway, the purpose of all of this, is that now I can angstily envision a world where Buck drives out of his way to go most places in order to avoid driving too closely to this specific intersection. He needs to take The 10 to get to Eddie’s and very likely Station 118 as well, Maddie’s house, etc.

Like, if his place is at that closest corner of the Historic Core?

Or even if it’s at the blue star…

Or maybe he used to always stop at this coffee shop with a 4.8 review rating to get coffee for himself and Eddie on his way to work?

And now what does he do? Does he just white knuckle it driving past there every time? Does he add 15 minutes to his commute so he can go around? Does he set his daily alarm 15 minutes earlier than he did before to account for it? Does he think about it every time he gets in his jeep to drive somewhere, because he has to either account for driving around this new black hole in the middle of the city or, even if he doesn’t because he’s going the other direction, he’s relieved he doesn’t have to, and is therefore still thinking about it?

Additionally, that intersection is super close to Microsoft Theater and the Staples Center (oh sorry, it's called the Crypto.com Arena now, barf). What does that mean for future basketball and hockey games or concerts?

There’s so many possibilities…

Eddie Who Is Going To Be Gay Okay

"it's the date night cologne," buck repeats

So happy to finally start sharing this fic!

Summary:

Buck slowly starts to come back to his senses. He's pretty sure he's in a hospital, based on the feel of the sheets, the usual gown, and the socks that are almost certainly of the grippy variety. It might be First Presbyterian, by the smell; maybe by the sound too, if not for—

wait, why is there a string quartet in this hospital?

🌙🌙🌙

or: another Jinx, featuring Buck-whump with some psychic consequences.

[minmaxi]

my only complaint is that the paws appear when you boop someone and not when someone boops you. I want to be scrolling and minding my own business and suddenly get whapped by a cat paw

[minmaxi]

boop if you love eddie diaz

[minmaxi]

it is so funny to me that buck is a fitness guy but he does not give a single fuck about sports. like that rules. refers to mma as half naked men pummeling each other. repeatedly refuses to play basketball until he has a gay reason. he said ew i'm not playing your little games these muscles are for saving lives and flexing for my bestie. evan buckley you are my hero
