Buck/Tommy + 1 (don't leave), please!

The scene hadn't been cleared, but the fire was out, and Buck had a couple minutes. He looked around, saw his chance, and started running.

He ignored the shouting behind him, ignored Chim trying to get him to stop. He kept running until he reached the back of the ambulance where Tommy sat, holding his arm at an awkward angle.

"...should get going soon," a paramedic said as Buck got within earshot.

"Tommy, wait!" Buck broke through the paramedics and firefighters milling around to stand in front of Tommy. "Are - are you leaving? Don't leave. Please don't leave. I need to say something to you."

Tommy looked up at him, pain written in his features, a bead of sweat rolling down from his temple.

"Evan, I -" he grimaced, "- s-sorry, I mean Buck. I'm not leaving so much as being taken to the hospital. Arm's broken. Need surgery."

He tried to smile but his lips barely twitched.

"Oh." Buck thought quickly, considering his options. "Can I ride along?" he asked, directing the question to the paramedic beside him.

"That's up to him," she said. "But we need to get going, so don't take too long to decide."

Turning back to Tommy, Buck dialed up the puppy dog eyes as much as he could.

"Please, Tommy? I just wanna talk, and make sure you're okay."

"Put the eyes away, Evan, I was already gonna say yes."

Tommy grunted as he stood up, climbing into the back of the ambulance so the doors could close. Lying on the gurney with a pained huff, Buck took the bench seat next to him, trying not to vomit.

"How did that happen?" Buck asked, nodding toward Tommy's arm where it lay next to him, contorted.

"Falling beam. Wasn't even supposed to be ground crew tonight, but we had three people out sick, so..." he trailed off with a shrug.

"Not that I'm happy you got stuck on the ground or broke your arm, but thanks for letting me ride along."

"Of course," Tommy said, voice suddenly softer. Then his expression changed, and he asked, "Evan, did you tell Bobby you were skipping out on him?"

Buck's eyes widened, and his stomach dropped.

"Oh, fu-"

Send me a number and I’ll write a micro story using the word or phrase

[livelaughlou]

Buck/Tommy + 24 (tender), please!

Excellent!

"So how did this happen?" Evan asks as he sits Tommy down at their dining room table, the first aid kit ready for them on the table, retrieved when Eddie had called.

Tommy groans. "It's so stupid."

"Well, you were with Eddie playing basketball, so I'm sure it is," Evan says, amused. He opens up the first aid kit and pulls out band-aids and disinfectant.

Tommy sighs. "Eddie and I had a bet with a couple of the guys from the 137. Winner buys wings next time we all go out."

"And that led to you bleeding from the forehead..."

Tommy hisses as he applies the medicine. "Wings are serious business. We got a little...overzealous."

Evan grins. "Took a page out of my book?"

"Hmm," Tommy says, and also because he knows he can be a shit, he says, "We call it 'getting Bucked.'"

Evan freezes, eyes wide. "You do not."

Tommy only manages to keep a straight face for about 30 seconds before he cracks.

"No," he says between giggles. "Of course not. Only Eddie and I are allowed to make fun of you for that."

Evan rolls his eyes, but he's smiling so Tommy knows he's not mad.

"Just for that," Evan says, opening and pressing the band-aid on. "I'm not gonna kiss it better."

Tommy grins. "Yeah, you will. Know why?"

Evan looks like he's trying not to laugh. "Why?"

Tommy leans forward and whispers, like he's telling him a secret, "You love me."

Evan doesn't say anything, he cups Tommy's face in his hands, pressing a sweet, tender, kiss right on the band-aid.

"Yeah," he says, leaning back to eye Tommy, but keeping his hands on Tommy's cheeks. "I do."

Buck/Tommy + 41 (comfort food), please!

Thank you for the prompt! Also, I had a bit of a chuckle because I'm not sure if you're aware or not, but I gave @mmso-notlikethat the same prompt the other day! Anyways, here you go! Enjoy!

"I know it's not your grandmother's recipe," Buck starts, placing a tray bearing a bowl and a glass of water onto Tommy's lap where he's laying in bed, propped up by all the pillows Buck could find, tucked in with the coziest blankets. "But it is Bobby's recipe, and that's the next best thing when it comes to comfort food. Or, at least, it is is for me." Buck stammered, realizing how his statement might come off.

Tommy chuckled, then broke into a coughing fit. He reached out towards Buck, putting a hand on his forearm. Buck waited, patient but concerned, rubbing Tommy's back until the fit passed. When he finally stopped coughing Buck picked up the water glass and handed it to Tommy. He took a few large sips and then carefully placed the glass back onto the tray. "You didn't upset me, baby. I appreciate the thought, and the soup is the perfect comfort food because you made it for me with the secret ingredient." Tommy said, voice going soft.

"Wait. How do you know the secret ingredient? This is Bobby's special recipe, he only told me the secret ingredient a few months ago, and I had to beg him for weeks before he relented!"

"Love." Tommy said, taking pity on Buck. "The secret ingredient is love."

"Oh!" Buck said, his own expression melting. "You sap. Yeah, it's made with lots of love." To illustrate his point Buck leaned over and pressed a kiss to Tommy's temple.

"Evan. Stop. I'm gross and you're going to get sick." Tommy protested, doing his best to squirm away from Buck, turning his head to cough into his elbow. Buck once again rubbed his back through the coughing.

"I'm pretty sure that ship has already sailed. Or do you forget what we were doing the other day?"

I would love to know more about the "Tommy should be used to disappointment by now (8x06 coda)" WIP, please!

this is mostly tommy & maddie (so far) set after 8x06

“How’ve you been holding up, Tommy?” Tommy blinks at her. “How have I been holding up?” he echoes.  Maddie nods at his choice of outfit for the night: she sweeps her eyes down from his rumpled flannel to his stained gray sweatpants and hole-y socks.  Tommy walks over to the couch, picks up the remote and mutes the TV. He tucks the bread into the crook of his elbow so he doesn’t drop it. “I’ve had better weeks,” he mutters, without any of his usual biting sarcasm.  Maddie sighs. Jee-Yun squirms in her arms and she sets her down, leaning in to whisper something in the little girl’s ear that brings out a gummy smile. Maddie ruffles her daughter’s hair before turning her sights back on Tommy.  He feels like a deer caught in her headlights. He wonders if she’s going to gun it and turn him into roadkill, or swerve to avoid him. He wonders which he’d prefer right about now.  Something must pass over his face because she takes Jee-Yun’s chubby little hand in hers and they both approach Tommy carefully, like he’s a cornered dog. He’s not so sure he likes that.

That Lou interview was so good! And seems like Ryan and Lou vibed more than Lou and Oliver. (but also, ugh at the interviewer asking about Buddie)

yeah it was genuinely good. at least most of the questions were. and we can’t expect any buddie shipper to not ask lou about buddie because that’s just the most important part of the show and his character’s story obviously.

and i’m not surprised he and ryan got along better, i knew it from the second i saw those 7x04 stills and the interviews lou gave right after.

[gaytommykinard]

I want *out* of the out of character Tommy bashing fic we all somehow collectively and unwittingly walked into.

[jdorian]

I made the mistake of engaging with a grand total of *one* Tommy anti on ABC's post teasing the premiere today - knew it was a bad idea going in but said fuck it - and have so many regrets now. I'm ignoring all the other replies now - they can keep fighting in the comments section.

yeah, you gotta be careful about it cuz they blow up your notifications real fast... made the mistake before, but i just blocked all of them lmao

this time around i just reported the ones being homophobic... yk i said this before and i will say it again; anytime this behaviour (that isn't okay here either so don't get it twisted) escapes fandom spaces and enters official platforms, being a buddie shipper makes me feel like i stepped in shit.

i got an anon yesterday and i didn't wanna invite drama, so i didn't answer it but yeah, it does make me ship it less because just thinking that i'd agree with these people on anything makes me feel icky...

[gaykarstaagforever]

...Where did this "hot woman whose one flaw is that she trips a lot" trope come from?

Is this a normal problem for skinny symmetrical women? Falling over? Why? When did this start happening?

Or is it just that they're constantly anxious about living up to impossible standards of femininity, while also wearing weird ugly hoof-shoes invented by The Gays®? Probably specifically to make women look stupid in front of men, so those men rethink their aversion to doing butt-stuff with gay shoe designers?

I don't know. Thin women, please explain. All I know is that if you keep chronically falling over, that sounds like a severe medical condition. And that your dream man is going to dump you the moment he finds a woman with the same body-type who DOESN'T keep faceplanting into concrete.

Also probably stop buying stupid shoes. I hear they were invented by gay men who hate you.

Sure thing! Here you go ☺️

[creddiedaily]

Can I please request a parallel gifset of Freddie bringing up how the only nickname he wants is "Mr. iCarly" and then Carly referring to him as such right before the picture? Thanks in advance!

Of course!!! Here you go! :D

[livelaughlou]

Buck/Tommy + 36 for the kiss prompt, please!

YAY! I love when I get duplicates because I always have different ways I want to write something. This one goes very differently than the other. I hope you like it!

36. ...to give up control

"Okay," Tommy says firmly, taking discreet control of the handle on the passenger side door of the car. "Now, what's the first thing you do when you get in the driver's seat of the car you're going to be driving?"

"Check the seat position and mirrors to make sure that you can reach the steering wheel and see outside the car to the sides and back," Emily says like she's reciting from a textbook and Tommy can feel the smile curling the corners of his mouth. She sounds so much like Evan, it's uncanny.

"Good job," Tommy praises as she does just that. "Now, start the car."

She steps down on the brake and pushes the button.

"What's important about a push-button start?" Tommy prods.

"You always still have to have the key on you," she answers.

"Exactly," Tommy praises again. "We'll put the car into gear."

But she doesn't do that right away. Instead, she turns to him.

"I know you and daddy were nervous about this," she says gently and Tommy sighs.

"You're our baby, Em. You're growing up on us, is all."

She smiles, again, there it is, Evan's thousand-watt smile.

"I know," she answers, then she leans forward and kisses his cheek. "But thank you for teaching me anyway. Love you."

"Love you too," Tommy says, grateful their teenage daughter still wants anything to do with them. He's heard horror stories. "Ready?"

She plants her hands on the steering wheel at 10 and 2. "Ready."

[seeleybooth]

Can I please request a gifset that parallels the Creddie confession to the Mondler proposal on Friends? Thanks in advance!

Hey! Of course, I was actually thinking about that when I read that post in the tag.

Downpour - Brooke x Rachel (One Tree Hill)

by @klutzygirl - Rachel and Brooke run out into a storm.

[louferrignojrofficial]

Oh, I'm fucking livid right now. Oliver Stark: king of throwing every single love interest under the fucking bus and *never* once defending any of them! Newsflash Buddie shippers: he fucking hates you too! You're not special!

he loves buck and bi buck, obviously. he loves that people love the on screen relationships and friendships. but does he care about the ships personally happening? probably not.

and yeah, especially after all he’s been put through the last few years.

[kneazle]

Might not be as good as the first part but here's a little more 😊 thank you to everyone who showed it some love 💕

I've tagged people who showed interest under the cut, but let me know if you wanna be removed! (Or added if I write more for this)

Continuation of this post

Tommy breathed heavily and grit his teeth, muscles burning and a sharp pain in his leg that screamed with every movement. He held onto the metal beam, ignoring everything in his body that wanted him to stop and sink. Not while he clutched an eerily quiet Jee to him, not when he felt her trembling and her breath against his neck where she kept her face hidden. 

It took every ounce of strength he had to keep hold of her, to keep her afloat as much as he could. He barely remembered telling her to hold her breath like she does in her swim classes, telling her to hold on. 

He would keep going for Jee. No matter how much his body fought against him.

Around them was silent except for the sounds of the water. No yelling, no screams. Dread filled the pit of Tommy's stomach. Was anyone else alive?

During his stock of everything around them he spotted it, a little ways away was a steady platform sticking out of the water, high enough from the water but not too high he couldn't get Jee on top of it. 

Tommy swallowed hard. "Jee? We're going to get out of the water but I need you to do something for me okay?"

She made a noise against his neck like a whimper but nodded.

"I need you to move yourself to my back okay, like when Uncle Buck gives you piggyback rides, alright? Then I want you to hang on really tight."

Jee was shaking and it wasn't hard to see her tears even with her face wet, but she did as he said. Tommy's heart broke for her, guilt clawing its way up but now wasn't the time. Jee was being brave, much like her parents and Evan, and he would be brave for her. 

"Okay Jee, I'm going to start swimming to get us out of the water to rest, so you need to hold on extra tight."

He waited until her grip tightened. Terror filled him as he swam, that she would lose her grip and he'd lose her, he pushed himself harder. 

Tommy wanted to cry in relief when he reached the platform meaning she was safe from getting swept away by the water or drowning, he wasted no time getting her on top of it. 

It was a struggle to get on, his body exhausted and in pain from going against the rushing water trying to sweep Jee away from him and hold on himself. It wasn't until he laid on top of it catching his breath that he found another reason why his body hurt so much, which logically made more sense then just the water. 

"Uncle Tommy?" Jee's voice was small and trembled. "You're hurt."

Tommy looked down at where she was pointing. His pants were cut in half at the leg, revealing blood and mangled flesh. He winced and breathed in sharply. Fuck.

Only really know Wendi McLendon-Covey as Beverly Goldberg because I've only seen her in The Goldbergs (plus a few minor roles in older movies and TV shows prior to that show) so I have a huge "her whole everything is throwing me off" in St. Denis Medical problem. It's so jarring! Love her character but it's definitely taking some time to adjust.

awww i only ever watched the goldbergs casually (back when i used to work at a place with a tv in the breakroom) but that's where i know her from as well!

there is definitely a larger than life aspect with joyce that takes some getting used to for me too, but i so far i feel like it's worth the adjustment <3
