Say You'll Remember Me (2/?)

Pairing: Ryderdie (Judd Ryder/Grace Ryder)

Rating: Teen +

Summary: In the wake of the car accident during Saving Grace, Judd wakes up to Grace in a coma, unsure if she'll ever wake up. When she does come around, Grace doesn't remember the last ten years of her life, including her entire relationship with Judd.

A/N: This story idea has been in my head since Saving Grace aired and has been sitting partially written for entirely too long. Thank to SkyHighRollins for the beta!

Grace’s head is pounding and her body aches all over. As her doctor walks into the room, she winces as she tries to readjust herself on the bed. It’s been a few days since she first woke up at Westlake Memorial, since she learned she has amnesia. She just wants to wake up from this nightmare and exist in the life that she remembers as vividly as if it were yesterday, surrounded by people that she actually knows and loves. Not a stranger standing in her doorway telling her that he’s her husband.

“Mrs. Ryder, how are you feeling this morning?” Dr. Santiago asks with a soft smile as she approaches her bed.

“Please, call me Grace. I’m not—” Grace’s tone is short and clipped, and she almost feels sorry for it. Why would anyone think she wants to go by a name that she doesn’t even remember taking? When she doesn’t know her ‘husband’ any more than someone off the street.

For the full timeline and tons of information on the HarperCollins strike, here’s the long post.

It has been FIFTY-SIX days since the HarperCollins Union went on strike… and Harper has at last agreed to sitting down with an independent, mutually agreed upon mediator to at least discuss the Union’s demands.

What this means:

- The pressure is working. Brian Murray and the leadership at HarperCollins have spent the last fifty-six days lying, spinning, hiring scabs, and doing everything except speaking to their union employees. That they’re even willing to talk now means the steady pushback has made things uncomfortable.

Therefore: Keep writing to peopleteam@harpercollins.com! Keep supporting the strike fund! Keep buying your books through the union’s Bookshop page! And keep sharing the union’s posts online and in your in-person communities!

- The strike IS NOT OVER. No agreement has been reached. Do not post reviews of Harper titles, accept work for any of their imprints, submit manuscripts for consideration, or in any way cross that picket line.

Additionally: The union is holding two separate rallies for folks in New York. The first, on January 31, is for industry professionals. The second, on February 2, is outside the NewsCorp HQ and is for everyone. If you’re not in the metro area and can’t attend, I’m sure folks would appreciate online support. New York is cold and gross and wet right now.

This is not the time to ease up, but rather to push HarperCollins, News Corp, and Rupert Murdoch even harder to cede to the beyond reasonable demands of their employees and to put an end to this absolute farce that they initiated.

See, now you’re sending a very different message.

Even before he opens his eyes, Judd knows where he is. There’s the dull hum of monitors, a distinct scent of antiseptic that cuts through his senses before he blinks his eyes open. The smell jars him, making his gut twist as it triggers memories years in the past from when he woke up in a hospital bed just like this one. Judd’s body aches with each breath and he winces as he shifts.

His throat is sore and tight with disuse as his gaze lands on Tommy, where she sits at his bedside. That’s the first thing that makes him realize this ain’t just a nightmare, the one where he relives the night he lost his entire family at the 126 all those years ago. When he finally did wake up after that explosion, Tommy wasn’t the one sitting vigil at his bedside waiting for the moment he’d wake up. Judd’s forehead creases as he tries to move through the brain fog. It doesn’t matter what landed him here, not really. There’s only one thing he gives a damn about.

“Where’s Grace? Where’s my wife?” he asks.

Tommy’s mouth opens slightly, a look crossing over her face as she looks away from Judd. That’s when Judd realizes that they’re not in the room alone. Captain Strand is sitting in the chair on the far side of the room, closest to the small row of windows overlooking the hospital’s parking lot.

“She’s here too,” Owen says, though the hesitation is clear in his tone, in the barely there pause before he’d answered. Instead of turning his attention to Judd, his gaze remains on Tommy and that aversion makes Judd feel like he’s going to be sick.

“What?” Judd croaks. “What aren’t you two tellin’ me?”

“Here,” Tommy says softly, grabbing a styrofoam cup from the table beside his bed, holding the straw to his lips.

“Tommy.”

“I’m gonna tell you what’s going on, okay? Just take a few sips of water, please, Juddy.” Judd isn’t happy about it and his eyes never leave Tommy’s face. As he takes a few sips, he winces as the fluid works its way down his parched throat.

As everyone tries to cope, Steve begins to have dreams—ones that only have Eddie Munson in them—and feels the guilt of leaving Eddie behind driving him crazy. Only as the nights pass by, he feels comforted by and connected to Eddie, not only laden with the heaviness of guilt.

One night something happens that makes Steve question everything, and he discovers there may still be a way to save Eddie.

“No, no, no.” Steve is shaking his head, waving a hand at Eddie who’s still half-hovering over Steve, but moving back to give him more space. “I— you’re fucking real, man? This isn’t something in my head? Jesus Christ.”

“Oh, Stevie.” Realization washes over Eddie’s face, making his features soften and then falter a little. “You didn’t think that this was real? That I was real? ”

“Shit!” Steve has half a mind to put his fist through a window because this is—how is this even possible? “All this time. All this time you’ve been sitting here, thinking, what? That I’m just leaving you behind?”

PAUL STRICKLAND in 9-1-1: LONE STAR | 3.10 “Parental Guidance”

[myemergence]

Introducing the first annual 9-1-1 Rare Pair Week, a week to celebrate all of the 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star ships out there that don't get as much love or content as the big ships or canon ships out there. Prompts are open to all kinds of fanwork creations, including but not limited to fanfic, fanart, gif edits, moodboards, fanvids, and more!

Prompts:

Day 1: Secret Admirer

Day 2: Sacrifice

Day 3: Alternate Meeting or Meet Cute

Day 4: Soulmates

Day 5: Secret Relationship

Day 6: Pining

Day 7: (Free Day)

Rules:

Absolutely zero ship shaming will be tolerated. If you come into our ask box complaining about the inclusion of a ship, you will be ignored.

NSFW works are allowed so long as you are 18+ and the work is tagged appropriately.

All major trigger and content warnings must be tagged as applicable.

In order to be reblogged during the week, mention @911rarepairweek or tag #911rarepair2022. Mentioning will probably be more effective with how Tumblr can sometimes be difficult with tags, but we will still try to grab everything that has been tagged.

If you have any questions, check out our FAQs post! We also have an FAQs page but I know that can get tricky on mobile, hence the post as well. And if it isn't covered there, shoot us an ask.

Happy content creating! Good luck!
