#and I’m believing my own delusions 🤪

[subtlehaz]

guys I just had a thought and hurt my own feelings

(it’s probably wrong bc I know Buck technically died last season so it’d be insane to hurt him a lot again so soon)

but we’ve discussed how Tim is mirroring s4, so what if this time Buck is the one to get hurt in an emergency to parallel the sniper incident, and that’s why Eddie goes into s8 feeling isolated? and what would honestly stop Buck from being there for Eddie if not a physical barrier? or what if Buck gets hurt (but it’s minor) & Eddie feels insane guilt bc he was late (another theme this season) & couldn’t be there for Buck when he needed him, so that’s why he’s isolating

my new spec is some kind of feelings realization from one or both of them by the end of the season, possibly Buck’s loft burning down (maybe someone else in his building tries to burn it down bc they can’t afford it lol) and Eddie having his head so far up his own ass he’s late to the rescue and Buck gets hurt (maybe severely, maybe not) and Eddie hides away because he feels so guilty

bonus points if Buck witnesses Eddie losing his ever-loving mind at the thought of Buck getting hurt again AND REMEMBERS HIS REACTION
