#YOU TOOK OUR ‘haha (painful) wouldn’t it be funny if tommy broke up with evan by calling him buck’

[a-mel0n]

At the start of October, I and a few others talked about bit in the comments of a post about the surge of Buck cheating on Tommy with Eddie fics and our disappointment in what is, on paper, a really compelling story for a fanfic?

Instead of simply cheerleading Buck and Eddie for infidelity, we talked about a story that has consequences. One of which is the imploding of the 118 family dynamics as it’s impossible to choose a side without cutting out someone. A story where Hen can’t look Buck or Eddie in the eye without thinking of Eva and past mistakes. A story where Chimney has to sit beside Tommy sobbing his eyes out while looking helplessly at Maddie because he can’t fix this and doesn’t know what to do. A story where Buck and Eddie blow up their lives in a moment of impulsiveness.

And we talked about the Bucktommy of it all, including post-infidelity sex that isn’t break-up sex but also not quite make-up sex where both parties are lost and wanting so desperately to make this work again; which is when @iphyslitterator said this:

So. Iphys. How’s it feel to be a prophet?
