8x18 fic prompt: beckett tells castle how he betrayed her in her dream

APOLOGIES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Pre-8x18

He thought his wife had a full day, so he's surprised to see her walk into his PI office mid-morning, coffees and a pastry bag in her hands and an apologetic look on her face.

"I'm here to apologize," Kate announces after a quick greeting.

Rick shakes his head and joins her on the couch. "Nothing to apologize for."

"No, I do. There's no reason I should have been that annoyed because of a dream."

"Well..." When she levels a glare at him, he lifts a hand in surrender. "It happens. I am curious what dream me did that was so heinous, though," he admits, leaning back and taking a sip of coffee.

Kate scrunches her nose and looks away, refusing to make eye contact. After a moment she rolls her eyes, then meets his gaze again. "You ate my leftovers."

He just blinks.

"It's so dumb," she continues with a shrug. "But I was really looking forward to them, and when I opened the fridge, they were gone."

Rick chuckles and scoots close to her, lifts her hand, and brushes his lips across her knuckles. "I'm sorry that dream me did that. Real me will be more considerate."

"Thanks. Anyway, it bothered me all morning that I got so worked up about it. I usually don't. So...I was going to wait until tonight, but..." She trails off and takes something out of her purse.

He takes the item, and when he sees the word on the display, he looks back up at her, unshed tears blurring his vision. "Kate," he whispers, "you're-"

She nods. "Looks like we have more mood swings to look forward to," she jokes. She lifts a hand and caresses his cheek. "Ready to tackle sleepless nights and dirty diapers again?"

He drops the pregnancy test and pulls her into a hug. "Can't wait."

just wondering if @stephmcx has seen this

@jimmybuffett and AlexOLoughlin BTS on the set of H50. As you can see, Alex got ready to slip into the role of his alter ego SteveMcGarrett as the beard, we saw earlier today, is gone. So he is not only directing the episode but also being part of it.

In the first episode of season 8 Buck says to someone (maybe Maddie?) something like "yeah, the loft is great but it still does not feel like home to me". then in 8x01-8x08 he stays at Tommy's once in a while, spends the night in his bed but for the rest of the day he's back in the loft. 8x09 (mid season finale) Tommy gives Buck a key to his house, maybe it's their little anniversary or just in case if something happened to Tommy. now Buck stays at Tommy's more often, not just for the night but for two or three days in a row; some of his clothes are now in Tommy's closet, few books on the nightstand on his side of the bed; his toothbrush, razor, aftershave, towel and shampoo in the bathroom; he goes to work right from Tommy's place. 8x18 we see Buck standing in the loft's door frame with a big bag over his shoulder. He takes a look at his now empty loft. Maybe there is a little montage of some good moments in the loft over the years? Then Tommy comes closer to Buck and asks "are you ready to go?", Buck exhales, smiles and answers "yes, I-I am ready. Let's go home". Next scene is them standing in front of Tommy's house: "welcome home, Evan".

i just think that would be cute

this is a safe space to be full on delusional my fellow bucktommys 🫶 reblog for sample size!

i'm going with the assumption that we're not seeing tommy before the mid-season hiatus, and the second assumption that we're getting a full 18-ep season

PS. if you're going to talk about how they're not getting back together, get off my post 🫶

Don’t wanna be rude but I’m always struck when people talk about Buddie as if it’s imminent in season 8 as if Eddie’s main storyline isn’t going to be his son and his faith like I get that Eddie can have a relationship while also exploring those things but Buck coming into his own as a bisexual man with Tommy seems to be the over arching story for him in season 8 and for Eddie it’s going to be Chris and finally coming to terms with Shannon’s loss. If Buddie does happen, if it is in the cards, it won’t be for another season at least and I think too many people are setting themselves up for disappointment that’s only going to feed into the toxicity of this fandom once they realize that. After all, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the biggest explosion in anger from Buddie fans came the night of the finale after it was confirmed Buck and Tommy would be a couple into the next season. I’m afraid that if BuckTommy go strong into 8x18 there will be a large crowd of people who will start drama and go berserk in an even worse way during the 8 to 9 hiatus

Buddie: Two hopes for episode 8x6

I've waited for more than 24 hours to post this because I'm still in utter disbelief after Tuesday night. Yesterday, I hoped I'd wake up from the nightmare and realize it was all a dream but it wasn't and it will continue for who knows how long. I'm trying to find silver linings in the one TV show I consistently watch, therefore I'm finally ready to share the only two hopes I have for 9-1-1's season 8 episode 6.

I won't watch live and the truth is I haven't this season because if it's full of more retcons and other nonsensical BS, I need to be able to fast forward through the scenes I don't want to see. Furthermore, my expectations for 8x6 are below the ground and honestly, after Tuesday's election here in the U.S., I have no idea how TM (showrunner) and the network will react or if they'll even try to course correct.

IYKYK there will be challenges ahead for network TV and it's the MAIN reason why Buddie should have gone CANON last season. Also, I've posted before that hiatues don't do them any favors (seasons 6 and 7 are perfect examples of this and that's why they both ended ridiculously), therefore, I'm only hoping for two things.

Buck needs to end whatever the f~ck he's doing with Tonsillitis because 8x5 clearly showed they aren't compatible. There's no need to drag it out any longer and I for one do NOT want to sit through a déjà vu moment that's reminiscent of BT 1.0 only for this BS to last until 8x18. It was exhausting in season 5 and if TM does it, then it'll be history repeating itself. We're literally 5 episodes in and I'm already tired of this season because of the lack of movement with Eddie’s storyline and all this focus on BT instead of it being focused on Buck and his individual journey. It's not ok and it's really pissing me off. Buck needs to stand up for himself and stop clinging to relationships that aren't working. He already wasn't allowed to breakup with T.K. 1.0 because he wasn’t happy, so can he please finally get off the damn hamster wheel? OS deserves better than this and TM (showrunner) should be ashamed at how poorly he's handled Buck’s arc.

Eddie hasn't had a GOOD episode that's been solely about him in YEARS! And I'm disappointed in the fact that 8x6 was supposed to be his time to shine but once again it appears his scene(s) will be relegated to the last 5 minutes of the episode the same way his PTSD arc was handled in 5x13. Therefore, I hope whatever is going to happen with him shaving his mustache will be emotional and meaningful instead of it being handled in a way that's comical like the show spent the majority of the preseason promoting it. TM already spilled the beans about it which minimized the anticipation of it when he told everyone during an interview that it was going to happen only to not speak of it again for the last few weeks. Furthermore, whatever Eddie has to say about his failed marriage to Shannon, it needs to be the last time so it can be wrapped up tonight because there are only so many times she should be mentioned because she's been dead for 6 years and it's time for her to R.I.P. Now, he SHOULD talk about her when he's ready to have an open and honest conversation with Chris like he should have been allowed to do in 7x1. Also, a mention of how Eddie’s going to fix things with Chris needs to be included too because Eddie’s a great dad and I'm sick and tired of them not letting their father and son relationship move forward. Chris has been in El Paso long enough, therefore Eddie needs to travel there to see him and so that he can read his mother the riot act. RG is a fabulous actor and he deserves better. He already had to put up with that raggedy ass "Vertigo" and doppelgänger storyline BS, so can the audience please see some progress in 8x6? The show needs to turn the page on Eddie’s failed marriage once and for all.

Here's the thing, with the Madney storyline, three emergency calls, Buck's conversations with Maddie and Josh and possibly Bobby, all the BT foolishness, Eddie shaving his mustache and Eddie’s conversation(s) with the priest, it’s unlikely there will be enough time for everything and I'd rather see the stuff that matters and that will move both Buddie's and Madney's arcs forward.

Time is of the essence and there are only two weeks left before the show goes on hiatus for who knows how long. Therefore, waiting to make Buddie CANON could backfire and it’s possible they won't get the chance if they wait until 8B.

Just saying.

I'M TIRED AND I WON'T DEAL WITH ANYONE'S BS COMMENTS ABOUT BT BREAKING UP SO, DON'T REBLOG THIS WITH AN OPPOSING OPINION. IF ANYONE DISAGREES THAT’S FINE BUT THEY SHOULDN'T ATTACH IT TO MY POST. THEY SHOULD DO IT ON THEIR OWN BLOG OR GET BLOCKED LIKE EVERY BT STAN. I'M A PROACTIVE BLOCKER AND I DO IT BASED ON FILTERED TAGS! I'VE ALREADY BLOCKED THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN ONE WILL FOLLOW ME AND I IMMEDIATELY BLOCK THEM TOO.

i genuinely don't know if they're willing to take the bucktommy moving in step this season (if the relationship goes well) but i am really hoping for it by the end because i am begging to get buck out of the loft. it's a great place it just does not Feel like buck even after 5-ish seasons in it.

I don't know why they wouldn't be willing since that pacing would be typical for a 9-1-1 relationship.

Bobby and Athena's first date was 1x10. By 2x10, I think, they're engaged and in 2x18, they get married.

Maddie and Chimney meet in 2x6. By 3x13, they're exchanging I love yous, and by 3x18, they're pregnant with Jee. By 4x9, they're parents.

So according to the timeline set by all other 9-1-1 relationships so far, if Buck and Tommy are meant to go the distance, there are two "speeds" they can go — either shotgun it, like Bobby and Athena OR slowburn it like Maddie and Chimney. Because we're being told that we will see them grow and learn each other, I'm hopeful they'll get a Madney slowburn (which is an enormously sexy concept). So that would mean that mid-Season 8-ish is when something is going to happen in their relationship that causes them to question it/each other and, if they survive it, by 8x18, they'll hit a milestone (but not engagement/marriage).

Important Things to Note for 911 Season 8

The shows 118th episode will fall on 8x12

Ryan Guzman's 100th episode will fall on 8x12 (tentatively, assuming he's in 8x01-8x11)

JLH's 100th episode will fall on 8x18 (tentatively, assuming she's in 8x01-8x17)

I see the back half of the season (ESPECIALLY 8X12) being insane
