haaaave a snippet of the eddie wells x female reader thing i picked up again after [muffled noises] months on a whim under the cut.

--

“that you love?” your mam calls from the living room, where you know without looking that she’s sat with her feet up enjoying a brew and the hollyoaks omnibus. 

“yeah.” you voice shakes and you swallow back another wave of nausea. the sounds of mcqueens squabbling is muted suddenly over the ringing in your ears. 

“everything okay? joanne didn’t give you any trouble, did she?” she sounds worried, “because if she did -”  “no. she was - it was -” your tongue feels like lead in your mouth as you cut her off, “he’s back.”

ceramic clinks noisily on the glass coffee table.

“you what?” 

your stomach sours at the shock in her voice. here you are, five years later, dropping more bad news like one of them dead mice like her fat orange tomcat on her doorstep. 

“eddie. he’s -” you swallow around the lump in your throat, “he’s back, mam.”

I plan on writing some but God I'm fucking STARVED for Eddie Wells fanfic. Two fics on ao3 about passenger at all, let alone him and I could only find maybe two or three here. I literally love that poor wet cat man so much I need more of him

On the off chance someone has any, please share. I'll even settle for fem reader if it's not like way too over the top with it lol

okay not that anyone really asked here’s my full review of the passenger series from itv. obviously spoilers under the cut.

i went into this series with pretty low expectations seeing the general reviews of it on google, but the further i got into the first few episodes of the series the more excited i got. i was really enjoying it! i thought it was shot really well and the colors were very appealing. lots of bold, warm oranges, reds and blues. overall i think the visual aspects are done incredibly well. everyone’s acting in it is great, too, something i didn’t expect. the banter is fun and gets you interested / attached to the characters as well as makes them feel real, like someone you’d meet in your day to day life. i like that a lot.

i’m a big fan of the ‘small town, big secrets’ trope, and no matter how many times its been done before i still eat it up every single time. every single person in that town has their own baggage and something that makes them the monster of chaddervale. i would have loved to see everyone realizing / being told that eddie really didn’t attack jim. we (both us as the audience and them as the characters) didn’t get enough time to settle down and think about that. all we got was a scene with eddies wife, joanne, saying something about revenge. that’s pretty much it.

there are so many plot points in this series, most of which i’m interested in, that are established in only 6 episodes, most of which go unanswered. does it leave for a good cliffhanger? no. it doesn’t. it leaves for a frustrating, unsatisfying watch with so much potential its almost painful. and you know, maybe, just maybe i could forgive this if the big reveal of the series wasn’t so stupid. my opinion on this is definitely skewed due to personal taste but i think only a bit. instead of following along the plot of the ‘curse’ or even a cryptid they instead went the route of some black web company doing experiments on anxiety riddled screen addicted youth? that feels like such a unearned, unteased ending. that’s not what i came to that series for. it doesn’t fit, it doesn’t make sense. the previous episodes and the twist don’t fit together. just because something is unexpected doesn’t mean its a good twist. i understand that so many stories have been told before and people want to create something that’s new and unique. but i just don’t think this was the way to go about it. and like i understand the commentary about young people being lonely and spending too much time on their phones but haven’t we had enough media about that? like at this point you’re saying something that’s been said time and time again without adding anything of value. sorry.

i’m being a bit harsh. maybe i would have enjoyed this twist more if it didn’t feel so rushed. six episodes isn’t a lot for a mystery series. you need more time to establish things, to build up tension and intrigue. they’re only given a certain amount of episodes and they just have to make do. i empathize with them, its the plight of modern shows. gone are filler episodes and month long runs. but i still feel as if there could have been a much better job done with the story— twist aside. like i’m still confused on if the 6th episode was the end of season 1. because it really didn’t. it wasn’t like a fun cheeky little cliffhanger, it was just a gaping hole left.

here comes the part where i throw what i would have done with the series at you. they’re a bit silly, yes, but i think they’re more… in line with the series than what actually happened.

i would have maybe done that there’s an underground worldwide cryptid / monster smuggling ring that takes them to be expirmented on or even used as weapons and maybe the bread factory was involved in it and due to negligence one not native to the area! thats why its being violent because its in an environment its not used to and its scared because everything seems hostile to it. maybe the monster could be friendly as a fun twist! that could also be a parallel to eddie who’s in a new environment where everyone hates him and he’s also not really a monster.

another thing that they could have done is maybe people are being turned into werewolves by that company! they’re trying to make super soldiers and they’re kidnapping young people to experiment on them and see what happens and if they can fit into normal society. this could also go into the whole “everyone is the monster of chaddervale” thing i was discussing before.

or!! it could be an alien show!! maybe people are being abducted by aliens and that’s what’s wrong with them!! i don’t know!!

in conclusion i did enjoy this show despite all of the harsh things i said above i just wished it was better. i honestly do recommend watching it if you enjoy mystery shows and aren’t upset by bad writing or whatever. i hope it gets a season 2 and i hope all of the plot points are resolved. so. whatever. needed to get this out of my system.

Barry Sloane as Eddie Wells in Passenger (2024)

[a-5-m-0-d-3-u-5]

It’s a fanfic I’ll never finish or post but I did brainstorm/write the skeleton of dialogue and description for an Eddie fanfic where he had a pen pal (the reader) whilst he was in prison. They’ve got a semi-fucked relationship that’s got them bonded, two lonely people who need connection after horrible things happen.

Eddie is torn between trying to get his old life back with his wife and his girls, ignoring the person who kept him human during his time in prison, and moving on with the reader, admitting he’s lost everything through no fault of his own. He wants to move on with his life but he can’t let go and he can’t have both ways. Meanwhile the reader is trying desperately to make Eddie happy while he’s in prison and when he invites them to Chadder when he’s released to help him get back to real life. They want to be with Eddie but they know his baggage and don’t wanna force it yet they can’t keep holding back like this.

It’s basically a little daydream I wrote alongside watching the show lmaooo major slow burn and idk how to introduce any real romance cus they’re both so messed up.

I doubt I’ll ever do anything with it but it’s a brain worm I had and I know you’re sad we don’t have any other fics for him so I thought I’d share the idea

Your brain works in beautiful, angsty ways and I love it

I've also been sitting on something I want to turn into a full fic, but actually putting words to it is different

This ask as remained in my ask box for like three days and I've just been reading it over and over because I love the idea so much

I have no idea if anyone will care but spoilers under the cut just in case

I'm not even a big angst guy but the potential there is absolutely beautiful. Especially when you factor in that Eddie fully believed he had hurt Jim up until Riya brought the money to the lake. Living at home in a town that hates him after being released early is already clearly stressful as the series shows but then adding in a penpal that he has feelings for??? Having to choose between two things he really cares about??

I'm a bit advocate for nuance in relationships like these. I always want to write happy, ideal endings because that's what I enjoy and it makes me feel fulfilled to both write and read so, if it's not a problem to use this as inspo, dear Anon, I would definitely give it an "everybody wins but not everyone gets what they want and instead what they need" ending"

God there's just so many possibilities

I need all of you to go watch passenger (2024) pirate it. I don't care. I need you to see a Barry Sloane character covered in blood with a huge sense of guilt over something he didn't do. I need you to be as angry as I am about the lack of a second season

Family of blood

Avian August day 31 - Passenger pigeon (and band-tailed pigeon, and passenger pigeon louse)

It has been 110 years since the passenger pigeon went extinct. Some 23 years later, Richard O. Malcolmson discovered and described the passenger pigeon chewing louse, which he had found on preserved skins of the passenger pigeon. Because many parasites have specific relations with their hosts, it was thought to have become extinct along with the passenger pigeon, and was named Columbicola extinctus.

It was found still living years later on the band-tailed pigeon, the passenger pigeon's closest living relative.
