I can never be an actor. Because how tf do you look at each other like this one moment and go back to nothing irl???

like i would combust into flames if someone looked at me like that.

Just a reminder that season 7 was shortened due to the strikes, and the writers made the choice to prioritize the broader storyline over focusing heavily on Tommy, which makes sense in the grand scheme of things. Lou was integrated wherever they could fit him, and it clearly worked because we’re all invested. Plus, we’re only two episodes into a three-part season 8 premiere. No, they’re not about to immediately shove them down our throats. Would I have loved for them to? Absolutely! But this is an ensemble-driven first responder series, not Heartstopper or Young Royals. Buck and Tommy will have their moment when the time is right, just like every other duo on the show. From what I’ve seen so far, what’s been teased, and what I’m expecting, I’m excited for whatever Tim gives us when it comes to Bucktommy.

But that’s just me

the funniest thing to me is that tommy fell asleep facing buck and therefore is implied to have woken up so mission-driven (must make boyfriend avocado toast) that it caused him to just straight up miss the boils on first glance

Escape Call

Pairing: Tim Bradford x Waitress!reader

Fandom: The Rookie

Summary: When a man asks you for help while working, you decide to make a call that might just end up changing your life.

The restaurant was fairly quiet as you neared the end of your shift. It had been a long one, draining you to your core, but anything that waited for you back home wasn't the definition of relaxing in any way. Your tiring days of dealing with snobby customers usually ended in studying for the many mock exams of med school.

The small bell hanging atop the entrance rang, signaling the arrival of a new set of customers, which you hoped would be the last for the day. It was the man who caught your attention first, dressed impeccably in a suit and tie. He had an expression on his face that you couldn't quite place, but it definitely wasn't happiness. A woman entered behind him and followed him to the table he was seating himself at. Unlike the man, she seemed to be quite happy about being at the restaurant.

Convincing yourself that this would be the last table you would wait for, you walked over to them with a pair of menus and greeted the pair with a warm smile.

“Hey guys, what can I get started for you today?”

“I'll just have a water, thanks.” The man said while flipping his menu closed, never bothering to read any of the items on it.

“Are you sure honey? You're not gonna order anything else?” Not giving him a chance to respond, she continued speaking “Well, I'm gonna get something low carb, maybe something like a salad? Gotta watch my weight, y’know..” She trailed off, eyeing you top to bottom.

You felt appalled by her snide comment, but chose not to offer her anything but a tight lipped smile. You left the table to give the cook her order and started working on his glass of water, silently observing the pair sitting across.

The woman was talking expressively while the man just seemed bored. He looked tired, resting his chin on his palm, barely looking at the rambling woman.

You heard a ding from the kitchen, and placed their orders on a plate, walking over to them. You noticed the man writing something on a tissue and folding it up. You were just about to turn around after serving them when you heard a high pitched cry.

“What is this? There's peanuts in this! I can't eat this! I'm allergic” She yelled at you, eyes wide like you had purposely tried to poison her.

“Ma'am I am so incredibly sorry, I didn't know you were allergic-” You couldn't finish your sentence, interrupted by her bowl of salad smashing the ground. You dropped down quickly to collect the shattered porcelain, glancing at the man. He looked horrified, sending an apologetic glance towards you.

After cleaning up and getting the karen a new salad, you hung out by the counter, trying to subtly observe the pair. You saw the man get up from his seat, saying something about using the men’s room, and walk over towards you. He handed you the folded tissue paper discreetly and walked past you to the restroom. You unravelled the note and saw a phone number:

Save me, Please.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

You watched as he walked back to the table and sat down. You knew exactly what he wanted you to do, He needed an escape call. You fished your phone out of your pockets and dialed the number, watching his phone vibrate on the table. He picked it up, and you waited silently on the other line.

“Hello? Yes this is him…. Mhm……What? Oh my god, I’ll be right there!”

He got up hastily, collecting his wallet and dropping a few bills down to cover the tab, and quickly apologised to the woman before rushing out of the restaurant.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You finished clearing the last of the tables and got your bag to head home. Today had been an eventful day, and the stranger you had seen for no more than an hour, was running on your mind since he left. You bid farewell to the cook and the guy at the register and stepped out into the cool night.

You felt a chill run down your spine, though you weren't sure if it was from the cold or because of the figure leaning against the alley in the dark. You took a step back but heard a familiar voice that made you stop.

“I was wondering when you would be off your shift.” The man spoke, coming into view.

“Escape call.” You said, letting him know that you recognised him.

“Yeah…I was desperate. Never going on a second date with her again.” He concluded.

“Second date? I thought she was your girlfriend. Heard her call you honey so i assumed..” You said as you started to walk alongside him.

“Oh no, just a blind date my colleagues set me up with. I'm Tim by the way. Could I get the name of my rescuer?” He held out his hand, looking at you expectantly. You offered him your name and shook his hand, relishing the softness of his palm.

He repeated your name wistfully, as if it was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard. You felt your cheeks redden, even if it was only your name he had said. You could only wish your house was farther away.

You both walked the entire way to your house, conversation flowing easily between you two. You learned that he was a cop, which made sense for no apparent reason. His personality was strong and graceful, drawing you in closer than you ever imagined was possible. You could have talked to him forever if you could, but all good things had to come to an end, just like your walk.

You eventually reached your doorstep and slid your key into the keyhole, careful not to wake up your roommate. you pushed open the door, turning back to face Tim. His eyes refused to leave yours, twinkling with a feeling that you could only describe as longing. Your mouth felt dry as you waited for him to say something. He placed his hand on the door, keeping it open.

“Is there anything I can do to repay you? for being my saviour today?” He asked, eyes darting between your eyes and lips.

You felt a smile spread across your face. Maybe you wouldn't have to say goodbye after all.

Bobby fans how are we feeling?

I'm in shambles

[kinardbegins]

i'm so glad that i've found joy in bucktommy and actually like them because it seems so miserable to be one of those toxic buddie shippers lol. like yeah, buck and eddie have been through so much together, are practically raising a child together, and are each others very best friends. if they ended up together, it wouldn't be out of nowhere yknow? i'd love for them to be together, i always thought they were endgame.

but tommy actually made a move on buck and buck likes him and they're both happy and it's wonderful and i'm so happy for them. tommy isn't as bad as people think he is, and buck isn't as stupid as people think he is. if buck didn't like tommy calling him evan, he'd have said so. if he was so completely blinded by his feelings for eddie that he thought he liked tommy, i think he'd have realised by now. he is genuinely interested in tommy, and tommy is genuinely interested in him too! it's adorable. they're adorable. and they deserve to be happy.

[watchyourbuck]

oh, did i wake you up?

day 2/7 @buddietommy-week | somnophilia

buddietommy | 2,3k | explicit | cw: cnc

“Do you think he’ll wake up?” Eddie asks, his voice low.

There’s a second of silence, in which Buck’s snores can be heard reverberating around the room. Eddie’s heart skips a beat, all of his blood supply rushing down his body in anticipation. God, he’s so fucking hard.

Tommy shrugs, then smirks. “Only one way to find out.”

OR: the buddietommy somnophilia fic (includes buck getting fucked by his pretty boyfriends + waking up in the middle of it).

ship so good one of the actors literally admits that the chemistry is so palpable that he agrees with what the fans see and never had to fake it

where’s wally: buddie bts edition

[uiimair]

Something something s2 AU where buck invites Chim for a dinner with him and Maddie (first time Chim meeting Maddie fr and not just seeing her far away when she passes by the station to see her brother and buck suspect Chim has a crush on his sister) and Chim already has a crush but he doesn’t want to be embarrassing so he brings Tommy asking to make him looks cool in front of her bc Tommy owes him one since Chim saved his life. Tommy doesn’t want to go but since he owes Chim, he goes with him and Chim isn’t nervous abt Tommy crushing on Maddie cause Tommy’s gay. So they come to buckley’s dinner and Buck is like wait why did Chim bring that hot guy?? What everyone thought would be an awkward dinner for Madney arranged date turns out to be awkward bi awakening for buck 🤧

[daniclaytcn]

no offense but when it comes to the resolution of the eddie/chris stuff...i frankly think y'all are putting too much faith in the guy who thought dead wife doppelganger was a genius idea, who cut the only important eddie and chris scene that actually gave the slightest hint of depth to this stupid storyline, who's been dragging out said stupid storyline for literal months with zero resolution and no real development on eddie's side either (for months).

[wildlife4life]

For me is how Eddie always invites Buck to play basketball even tho Eddie knows Buck hates it also people can’t really say Eddie was ignoring Buck cause when Tommy was talking to Buck and then he goes something along the lines I have a surprise and Eddie thinks is another ticket so Buck can come with them also part of me don’t want to be rude but Tommy wanted Eddie but he took his chance with Buck even tho for real I think Tommy has more chemistry with Eddie than with Buck

Okay so I have seen the theory that Tommy originally wanted Eddie... which I can see considering the dude took Eddie up in whole ass helicopter. (Yet Buck gets left on curb.... anywho). And according to Lou's interview, Eddie was the original outing but things fell through, but also the chemistry read might of only been done with Ryan, hence the lack of romantic chemistry between Buck and Tommy. Eventually the whole Eddie has a 'girlfriend' comes up, so he turns his eyes elsewhere ie the guys best friend who Eddie and his son won't shut up about. Cus if Eddie likes him, Tommy probably will too.

As for the Eddie aspect, that whole episode was told through Buck's eyes and we all know Buck is the most insecure, abandonment issue filled, motherfucker there is, so of course he is blind to how much Eddie wants him around. But we get the hints with the excited over a perceived 3rd ticket, the constant basketball invites, the worry for Buck even though Eddie was the one injured, and so on.

One day Buck (and all of us) will see it... just needs to stop being distracted by shiny new attention givers.

The Red Herring Date

So, I put the D.E.B.S. AU I posted on here on AO3. Idk if anyone else wants it, but I love it so a little push got me to fold and do it haha. Enjoy! 🥰

The Red Herring Date

| Pairing: HenRen | Rated: T | WC: 4.8K |

Summary: Henrietta "Hen" Wilson is the top of her class at the secretive D.E.B.S. Academy. She may or may not have a huge crush on mysterious supervillain Karen Mars. Karen Mars has been in a love funk for the past two years after being dumped hard. She's only agreeing to this date because her favorite henchman insists.

Excerpt:

“Wow, Karen Mars, she’s…” Hen started, staring at. At Karen Mars. She and her other D.E.B.S. were up in the scaffolding of the restaurant Les Deux Amours. Stakeouts usually proved to be boring. But. But Hen found herself transfixed on Karen Mars. Karen. Who might have been the most gorgeous woman Hen had ever seen? With beautiful braids, with the best figure, with a wonderful black pantsuit on that looked fantastic on her. Karen. Who was currently on what looked to be a date with a certain freelance pilot. And. Hen couldn’t seem to look away from it. Well. Maybe that was good for the mission. They were supposed to be on a stakeout. “She’s what?” asked Chimney, because Hen never finished her sentence. “Real,” breathed Hen, “I – I never thought I’d see her in person.” And. Hen just kept staring at her.
