#episode 7x10

Set between Episode 10 and Episode 11 | Read on AO3

Fool's Gold || Her Story

She set the glass down on the countertop and pulled the water jug from the fridge. The condensation slicked her fingers, cold and clammy, but she barely noticed. The chill couldn’t cut through the haze numbing her senses. It was just water. Just a jug. Just her.

She tilted the jug to pour, but the stream missed the glass entirely, splashing onto the countertop and pooling along the edge. A mess. One more thing to clean. She stared at it for a beat too long, her mind sluggish, before moving to find the paper towels. Her steps felt foreign in her own kitchen, her hand hovering over the sink and darting near the toaster before landing on the roll tucked by the microwave.

She yanked a sheet. It tore jaggedly along the wrong edge. Another. And another. By the time she stopped, seven crumpled pieces lay in her hand, each a testament to her restless frustration. With slow, disconnected movements, she dabbed at the mess, her gaze fixed somewhere beyond the countertop.

And then her eyes caught it; the jacket slung over the back of her couch, neatly folded as though mocking her. It sat there, taunting her with the weight of all she hadn’t been. Not enough to make him stay. Not enough to keep him.

Her fist clenched around the damp paper towels, her movements sharp now, scraping at the water as if wiping away the evidence could erase everything. The sudden motion knocked the water jug, sending it crashing to the floor. The sound was startlingly loud, ringing through the silence of her home, but she didn’t flinch.

She crouched, her fingers brushing the jagged shards of glass, before she picked up a piece. The edge bit into her skin, carving a thin line across her fingertip. Blood welled up immediately, a perfect crimson bead rolling along the pad of her finger before spilling over.

She stared at it, her head strangely light, waiting for pain that didn’t come. She pressed the paper towels to the cut, more out of habit than care, but something inside her was shifting. The numbness began to crack, giving way to an ache that wasn’t just sadness, it was anger. Deep and searing.

Before she knew it, the empty glass from the counter was in her hand again. With a sharp breath, she threw it to the floor. It shattered, scattering more shards across the tiles, tiny fragments catching the light and refracting it like jagged stars. She stood in the centre of the wreckage, her boots planted in the middle of the chaos, her chest heaving.

At least now the outside matched the inside.

9-1-1 • S7E10 ↳ “All Fall Down”

[daniclaytcn]

Hey, Ravi, you know you don't have to eat everything at the buffet, right? Why else would I be here on my day off? ANIRUDH PISHARODY as RAVI PANIKKAR ↳ Season 7 of 9-1-1 (2018—)

[911bts]

7x09 title has been changed to "Ashes, Ashes"

7x10 (the finale) title is "All Fall Down"

[stagefoureddiediaz]

As so many of you are filling my inbox asking about salad and why I found the fact they had two types of salad for dinner in the Buck and Tommy dinner scene so funny, I'm guessing you're new to the 911 fandom - Welcome if so! I am going to give you a very brief rundown of salad and Buck and Eddies various relationships, but @clusterbuck is actually the keeper of salad theory and you can find far more detailed analysis over on her blog than you’re getting from me here!!

I can't find gif of the actual salad moments so have pictures!!

Chris smashed salad bowl that he is making a salad in with his dad in season 4 (in Breaking point) - when he finds out about Ana being the person Eddie is dating.

We have Ana turn up at the firehouse with Chris during the black out in 5x02 with 5 - yes 5 - types of salad When Eddie has his second on screen panic about Ana - when Ravi mistakes her for his wife.

Then in 5x03 just before they break up - Eddie, Chris, and Ana are at the dining table in the Diaz house and they are eating fruit salad

Then in 5x05 we have Taylor with her prepackaged fruit salad breakfast the she has 'made' for Buck when he gets home

she is making a bean salad in 5x09 during the most awkward I love you scene in the history of television!

Then we have a caprese salad in front of Natalia during the Dinner Buck cooked for her in 5x17 - when she finds out about various aspects of Bucks past and present - Taylor on the tv and Kameron turns up

Then in 7x07 - when Eddie is daydreaming of a do over with Shannon during his lunch with Marisol they are eating a salad

then we now have Buck and Tommy eating two different types of salad (a pasta salad and a salad salad) on their dinner date

so basically it's become a bit of a running joke that if salad is involved with Buck or Eddie and one of their dates (especially in their own homes) , the relationship is doomed!

a different wip again, bc I'm trying to finish this one before I continue with all the others lol - so, a 7x10 bucktommy coda or whatever

“I wanted to.” he just says, then sighs, burrowing his face further into Tommy’s neck, nuzzling against his skin. He feels like his boyfriend’s strong arms are the only thing holding him upright, and he thinks it’s not fair, because Tommy just got off a twenty four hour shift and is probably tired. But Buck needs this comforting, amazing hug to last just a couple minutes longer.

“Rough shift?” Tommy asks eventually, one hand still moving soothingly over Buck’s back, the other settling in his hair and massaging his scalp gently. Buck could fall asleep right here, while standing up.

“You have no idea.” Buck responds, and something in his tone must give away that something worse than a usual bad call or a busy shift is going on. He feels Tommy’s arms tighten around him, and would bet that there’s a concerned look in his eyes.

"Glad I saved the best for last" and it's Sam and Dean watching a movie and arguing over snacks, it's his boys caring so much about so little and Bobby gets to sit there and watch them and know that he was nothing like his father, because when John wasn't there to be their dad, Bobby was.

[buck-up-buck]

i think 7x10 just gave me my new favourite Buck and Tommy scene and I am going FERAL over it.

i-

can it be September please😭

[fiona-fififi]

THAT CARESS OF HIS THUMB IS SO GENTLE WTF? they care SO much. their relationship is so so intimate.

can't believe I had worries about divorce era when they are SUCH A UNIT <3

like this is SAD and frustrating but THEY are THEM. ugh they're just a given

Anon, I don't know if you're still out there, but this got lost in my notifs yesterday.

Truly, I thought it was beautiful. I know everyone was routing for a hug, but this actually seemed so much more intimate and in character to me. Because Eddie tends to shut down when he's upset and overwhelmed. He offers hugs when he's happy, but when he's struggling, he's not quick to seek touch. So the fact that Buck went for the hand on the shoulder and knew that it was a form of comfort Eddie would accept—maybe because it's the comfort Eddie most often offers Buck when he needs it—just feels big. Like, it's actually a huge step forward from where they were when Eddie broke down in s5.

And I think there's also something to be said for the way that hand on the shoulder served as a comfort to them both. That wasn't just Buck providing comfort for Eddie. It was Buck seeking comfort right back.

Because they'd both just watched the most important person in their lives walk out that door, and they are both falling apart over it.

I actually really thought this whole scene was just stunning, honestly.

[bi4demibuddie]

That’s his soul, his heart, his everything walking out of that door. He feels Buck’s hand land on his shoulder, a gentle squeeze letting him know that he has his back (he always will). But Eddie can’t concentrate on that right now.

How will he wake up every morning, knowing that his son is not there with him? That he is thousands of miles aways. Knowing that Chris won’t talk to him, wouldn’t even look at him.

How will he wake up, knowing that he tore down yet another relationship with someone he loves? That he hurt his son, that for a moment he made him think that his mother was back, only for reality to crash down on him once again.

How will he wake up, knowing that he might just have lost the most important person in his life?

How will he ever be able to forgive himself?

Chris is gone now, there’s no more need for pretending. His body is trembling all over. He feels heavy, no longer has the strength to keep himself standing. His knees hit the ground as soon as the first sobs start wrecking his body.

He can’t stand himself right now. He fucked up. He dragged Chris down with him. Maybe his parents were right, all those years ago. Maybe he should have just let them take Chris. Maybe he would have spared his son from all this. Maybe he could… maybe he could have done a lot of things differently. Maybe he was just a bad father.

There are arms around him, holding him close. A gentle voice on his ear. “Hey, hey, I’ve got you, I’ve got you, Eddie”

Buck.

Eddie presses himself further into Buck’s body. It’s warm. It’s home. It’s keeping him from falling into the downwards spiral of self-loathing. Somehow, amidst the sobs, Eddie manages a broken sentence.

“I’ve lost him, Buck”

His sobs intensify. Buck holds him tighter.

“We’ll get him back”

They stay like that. Until Eddie’s no longer held down by the weight of his grief, until Buck’s sure that that Eddie’s heart will not crumble into a thousand pieces.
