Tell Me There’s A Reason That You’re Here (2.8k)

a part 2 to Please Stay With Me Until I Close My Eyes (could probably be read as a standalone)

“Chris went down a rabbit hole on the way here.” Buck perks up immediately, the soft energy of before immediately transformed into excitement. “Ooooh nice! What was it this time?” “He… uh…” Eddie fumbles, as if it hasn’t been the only thing on his mind since Chris told him. “One of his friends came out as… something. I can’t remember what exactly, but Chris has been researching loads of LGBT stuff that I’ve never heard of before and telling me about it.” “Makes sense,” Buck says. “I bet his friend will be happy about that.” Eddie smiles. “Yeah, that’s true.” “But…?” Buck prompts. “It sounds stupid, but a couple of the things he was telling me about… they just… I don’t know.” “Something clicked?” Buck suggests gently. Eddie just nods. - Eddie learns more about the queer community - and himself

Be my date?

Eddie and Vanessa keep in touch. Eddie comes to a realisation.

The first time Buck meets Vanessa Acero, she comes by the station because Eddie and her want to plan a ‘romantic weekend’ which in this case is code for a weekend they’ll spend hiking while Buck watches Christopher. As far as Buck is concerned, Vanessa and Eddie ‘dating’ is a good thing—certainly for Eddie, who seems like a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders, and also for Buck when he gets to spend more time with his favourite Diaz. Vanessa and Eddie have a lot in common, as it turns out, so they can have alibi dates and do something they both enjoy.

The amatonormativity in this 911 episode was physically painful for me to watch. Dear god please leave Eddie alone. He doesn't have to date. He doesn't need a romantic partner to be happy. He isn't alone! He has his family, he has Christopher, he has the 118! He is not alone! Not having a romantic partner is not a sign of unhappiness or failure and I'm so sick of tv shows doing this. If Eddie doesn't want to date, HE DOESN'T HAVE TO! LEAVE HIM ALONE!

Sidenote I am now fully on the arospec/demi Eddie Diaz train. That right there is a man on the aro spectrum.

[aroacesafeplaceforall]

I ship a lotta characters including buck and Eddie from 911 but I have to say I mostly picture them in a QPR. I can’t see them kissing but I can see them going on dates or getting married and raising Christopher and saying my partner and my husband and-

[p4nishers]

hold my hand. that character yeah that one is arospec coded. you're welcome/sorry for you loss etc

[murdockbuckley]

aromatic eddie diaz and queerplatonic buddie i believe in you

[plutobuckley]

(Posting these again cause I saw a mistake in one of them and it was driving me crazy)

Honestly, acespec/arospec Eddie Diaz just makes perfect sense in my head!

Kinda need him to embrace being a single dad at the moment and realise he doesn't need to force himself to date anyone and just be his silly self <3

[reallyneedsalife]

i have the urge to write aro!Buck and aroace!Eddie getting their wires crossed about romance.

Taylor says I love you to Buck, Buck freak out about not feeling those magical feelings around the words. Eddie goes "its fine, there's no real difference between platonic I love yous and romantic ones". Hen looks at them like "..guys-"

I'm all for romantic Buddie, but also I adore queerplatonic/platonic Buddie with my whole aromantic heart

aromantic flag color picked from aro fear eddie diaz

[ID: 1. The aromantic flag color picked from a photo of Eddie Diaz from 9-1-1. 2. The same flag but with a cutout of Eddie shown from the shoulders up. He’s wearing a green button up shirt over a black henley. He is reacting to Tia Pepa surprising him with a date. His eyes are wide and his teeth are clenched in a grimace. END ID]

Aromantic Eddie with queerplatonic buddie and romantic bucktommy for the people who think Eddie can’t have a meaningful character arc without wanting to wreck his friendships by kissing Buck, actually <3

Last Line Tag

tagged by @aroeddiediaz 💚💚 which is, once again, incredibly appropriate because the last line I wrote was from the aroace eddie fic

“If we were a couple, I would enjoy the stuff we would do. I don’t have to be in love with you for that.”

This is the only fic I have been enjoying writing at the moment, so be prepared for lots of this in tag games 😝

Eddie Diaz is Aromantic

So, hear me out, I know it might sound crazy but it kind of tracks.

All of his relationships always seemed to be driven by his physical attraction to the woman to me, like Ana Flores, and I'd like to also remind you that yes he did cherish Shannon dearly, He never really expressed romantic feelings towards her more than any other woman he eighter dated or was interested physically, he married her because she was pregnant (this one I am not 100% sure, but the dates to alline, with Chris being born in 2011 and the same year they get married)

I can see the possible romantic underline of Eddie and Buck's interactions, and I would dare say that they act almost like soulmates, but a soulmate is not only romantic.

It can be present in many forms and shapes and the case of Eddie is Buck.

So in conclusion, Eddie is aromantic and heterosexual, he is bonded for life with Buck as co-parents of Chris, and he is probably going to suffer a little bit more before he figures himself out. probably 'till season 8.

[coolguyincsworld]

Yes I am all here for gay Eddie. But has anyone thought of aro/aroace Eddie?

And no I am not saying this cuz I’m a bucktommy shipper and I don’t want buddie, I’m saying this cuz I actually thought abt it

Cuz my thought is that he gets into relationships cuz the other party is into it or he thinks it will be good for Christopher.

And aro/aroace is a spectrum so it’s very possible that Eddie could still have loved Shannon and be aro. And my thought for the whole doppelgänger thing is that he doesn’t feel how he felt for Shannon in any other romantic partner so when he saw Kim he finally felt that again.

And the reason I say aro/aroace and not asexual is that he doesn’t seem like he doesn’t like sex or is asexual (Ik that is also an spectrum and ace people can still have sex but he jst in general doesn’t seem like he has a problem w it).

Something subtle that I appreciate about Eddie’s conversation with Pepa, is that at no point is it implied that there’s something wrong with not having a romantic partner, just that Pepa worries Eddie will be lonely and become too settled to want to change that.

It reminds me of a conversation I had with my parents last week. The topic of my sexuality got brought up (I’m aroace), and my mum (who I hadn’t had a proper conversation with about it yet) was asking questions. Both my parents told me that they didn’t care as long as I was happy, but they only worried that I’d be lonely.

In the society we live in, it’s a perfectly valid fear for our loved ones to have. Amatonormativity has been shoved down our throats our whole lives. It’s honestly a fear that creeps up on me at times - what will my support system/family look like if I decide to not have a partner (romantic or otherwise)? Do I want to live alone? With people? Will I socialise enough if all my friends are prioritising their partners and family? It’s a vaild fear.

Eddie and Pepa are clearly very close. It’s only natural for Pepa to worry Eddie will be alone. But it’s not a ‘you need a spouse or partner or you WILL be lonely’ kind of concern. It’s ‘please don’t shut out possibilities because you’re afraid’ kind of concern.

Eddie wants a partner. He still needs to figure out what that looks like for him, though. Because from what we’ve seen, it’s not the perfect Latina woman who’d be a great stepmother. It wasn’t even the actual mother of his child. He’s not going to fit into that mould of a family or relationship we’re all told is ‘perfect’.

I think about what mould I’ll make for myself, but I don’t necassarily need to have figured out yet. And it’s so validating to see a character in his thirties figure out what that mould looks like for him too.

(Eddie Diaz in a QPR FTW) (i’m joking, buddie ftw, those boys are in love and should get gayly romantically married) (...but...)

[raethereptile]

The more Eddie opens his mouth the more I become convinced he's aro like dude seriously if 911 had any balls at all
