Just a quick costume question. Don’t worry if you’re too busy with. Is time metas but thought you might know of top of your head.

Do the lafd hoodies/jumpers really have the names on them like the turnout coats do it it is that just a fan thing in fics.

Trying to get something right in a fic I’m writing. Tried to spot in an episode but no luck yet!

Thanks 💕

Hey!!!

I always have time to answer costume questions from you - and tbh its actually nice to get a break from the meta which is refusing to get out of my brain and onto the computer 😂

As far as I am aware (and I have spent far far too long staring at 911 uniforms recently so I'd be happy saying I was 99% sure) they don't have any identifying details - no names or even initials - its purely a fic thing thats developed! It makes sense if you think about it - in normal uniforms its easy to identify who is who, but as soon as the turnouts and helmets go on it becomes much harder - hence the names being put on the bottom of the jackets!

Hope this helps and I can't wait to read the fic!

I think you should know this tag broke my heart

You’re right, that is all he wanted, just to see her again and hear her voice. That’s what people say isn’t it, if I could just see them one last time, hear their voice, one last time….

It hurts they won’t deal with this like it should be dealt with.

💔

I'm sorry but I have so many feelings about this. Eddie literally watched Shannon die. He literally sat there as life drained out her body and he had to keep looking because he didn't want her to be scared as she went. Because she needed him to be strong in that situation because he knew it was hopeless. He's a medic, he knows what people don't come back from, so Eddie's last memory of Shannon will forever be her dying in front of his eyes. Then he stumbled into someone who looked exactly like her and he finally had the chance to see something else. And the way Kim also sounds like Shannon. The first thing you forget about someone is their voice. And Eddie somehow tripped into someone who looks and sounds exactly like someone he loved and watched die. He just wanted more time to look at Shannon. And everyone in this situation took advantage of his grief. He loved Shannon and he lost Shannon in the most cruel of ways and Eddie himself said he didn't want sex from Kim, he clearly just wanted more time with someone he loved and lost and Kim was the perfect echo of that. He just wanted the chance to see Shannon again and that's perfectly reasonable and anyone in his situation wouldn't be able to walk away from that window. His grief is so complex and no one involved has the capacity to understand how he was feeling and they decided to punish him for the most human of reactions. No matter how you look at their relationship, she was a huge part of her life and he loved her. And he misses her. He just wanted to look at Shannon one last time and not see her death. Instead he got whatever happened and I legit want to sit down and cry for him. They will never deal with this particular aspect because they probably think that changing the scene from a kiss to a hug takes away that aspect for Eddie, but everyone in his life still got the wrong impression of what happened (because they didn't bother editing the actual fallout) and my heart is breaking for him so bad. He just wanted a bit more time and lost everything over it and the people in his life think he willingly hooked up with her when Kim barged in and forced him to deal with feelings she had no right messing with. It's heartbreaking.

Wip game- I remember a little bit about this one, any plans for it 💜

Chris sneaks out with friends

Spots!! Thank you for the ask!!

I haven't worked on this one in some time, but it's always in the back of my mind. I actually think it's close to finished, so I should return to it, but I keep getting distracted by new ideas. Still, I do plan to finish it.

Have a snippet from near the end of this one:

Eddie sighs, letting his eyes fall closed as he steps up into Buck's space. For his part, Buck opens his arms and puts on an amused pout, causing Eddie to snort a laugh as he fits himself up against Buck, letting his forehead press into the crook of Buck's shoulder. He leaves a respectable amount of space between the rest of them until Buck, having none of it, closes his arms around him and rests his cheek against the top of Eddie's head. They're not exactly plastered together or anything, but Buck for sure has him enclosed in a hug that's lingering, and Eddie has no intention of letting it go, so he just relaxes into Buck's chest, relieved at the warm comfort he finds there.

Buck, though, feels like he's vibrating under Eddie's hands, his whole body rocking just the tiniest bit, and Eddie's not sure what to make of it, so he shifts until his cheek is pressed against Buck's shoulder and lets his eyes linger where he's tilted to see Buck's face. Buck doesn't look at him, but Eddie thinks he sees Buck's eyes shining, and for the first time since Eddie's known him, he can't quite read whether the sheen is happy or sad.

It's not long, though, before Buck is giving him an answer. He blinks rapidly, a wet tear catching on his upper lashes, but none fall as he lets out a quiet huff Eddie can't quite discern—unsure if it's a laugh or a labored breath. Maybe it's both. Eddie starts to reach for him, fingers trailing up Buck's side, but Eddie's stopped in his tracks when Buck finally speaks, whisper soft and breathless.

"I think he called me dad," he mumbles out on shaky breath, and Eddie finds himself smiling suddenly, bright and open. He thinks maybe Buck's conflicted, but Eddie knows he doesn't need to be.

"Yeah," Eddie tells him carefully, letting his fingers come to rest against Buck's chest as he pulls away just a little so he can study Buck's features more closely, "he does that sometimes."

Don’t hate me but I love pirate au

🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Spotty my darling I could literally never hate you 💕 here is some fresh off the press (written during my lunch break) pirate fic:

“I am going to go find Bobby. Will you be alright?” Buck asks and Maddie nods, still smiling at him, softer now.

“Yes, Howie is going to show me around the ship.” She says.

Buck has so many questions about his sister and Howie. How they met, why they became friends, close enough friends for him to help her flee from her husband? But he doesn't want to look a gift horse in the mouth and he also doesn't want to keep Bobby waiting.

“Okay, stay safe. I will see you later on.”

She squeezes his forearm as he stands and Buck bends to kiss the top of her head as he leaves.

Hello there

Fanfic writer asks 😊

20 22 27

20. What’s a favorite title for a fic you’ve written?

Ohhhhhh!!!! Probably Oh Captain (My Captain), Our Fearful Trip is Done or Traded 

22. Do you know how your fic will end before you start writing?

Ummm? Most times. Or I usually have a vague idea of what I want. There's been a few fics where I've gotten to the end and I will go back and reread what I've had written to figure how to do the ending!

27. Is there a fic you were nervous to post/share? Why?

YES! The Fluff of a Dandelion because it was my first smut fic. I'd written it in one sitting and it was a huge step that ultimately changed my writing style completely.

Some asks for you ☺️

What the furthest you’ve ever been from your home town?

Favourite three films

And

You can get stuck in a lift with one of the 911 fire family - who do you chose and why

💜💜💜💜💜

hello hi!!

i think like distance wise, the furthest i've been from my hometown was when i went to orlando when i was 14?? i'm pretty sure that was it

okay so this changes all the time, right now it's red, white and royal blue, mannequin (if you haven't watched it its a super shit romcom from the 80s highly recommend) and casino royale!

if i got stuck with anyone, i reckon bobby would probably be the best person to get stuck with tbh - he seems like he just knows ??? everything ??? and also he'd keep me calm and probably just chat to me until we're good

Hi

Was wondering if you had any arts and crafts updates to share?

Loved seeing the updates on your last embroidery project

💕

Hey hey hey!!!

I’m always happy to see you in my inbox, especially when you ask me things like this!!

So I haven’t really had much chance to much embroidery recently - I e been redecorating my house and it’s eaten all my time (I’m so happy with how it’s all looking, but I can’t wait to have my evenings back to work on fun things 😂)

This is go far I’ve got with my Maddie and buck pinky promise piece since my last update

So still a long long way to go with it but I’m pretty happy with how it’s turning out so far!! I might have to wait for spring before I start back up with it as it’s better to work on in natural light!!

But I have been working on a couple of other things as well, this is a needle felt Eddie that I’m making - he has a wire armature so he can be made to hold different positions once he’s complete (he’s for my desk at work - I have plans for a mini felt version of all the 911 fam😎😎😎)

Again as you can see - early stages of the process - i can only do it for a short time before I start stabbing myself with the needle, but it’s good to do while watching things (I’ve been using hiatus to rewatch bones)!!

And I was feeling inspired and got my painting mojo back so this is a painting I’ve just started of Buck - I’ve only done his uniform do far, but I love painting fabric and I’m pretty happy with how it’s turning out!

Hopefully you’ve enjoyed my little arts and crafts update! I’ll try to be a bit more regular with crafty updates

💕 Post vow renewal

Okay, so technically this is well over 9 sentences, but I do believe I only actually added about 12 (maybe a little more). Several parts of this section were already written, but I added in multiple spots to link pieces together and flesh out the scene, so I figured I'd offer the whole thing. I have not proofread it, though, so please forgive any awkwardness or typos because I'm sure there are plenty.

And then Buck's reaching, but Eddie's pulling away, shifting himself up and off of Buck's body, off of the bed, and Buck feels himself panic, a quiet plea of Eddie's name pulled from his lungs before he can stop it. But Eddie's there, still so close as his careful fingers strip away the last of Buck's own clothes, discarding them in some haphazard pile beside the bed as he murmurs gentle reassurances that have Buck sinking back into the mattress beneath him as Eddie works. 

When Eddie finally, finally manages to strip them both down, Buck is lost, all thought swept away at the sight of Eddie bare before him. Before Eddie can find his way back, Buck is reaching for him, gentle fingers tracing soft skin that stretches over hard muscle, dipping into the divots of Eddie's abs before tickling back over his hips as Eddie crawls back up over him. Buck sighs into the feel of Eddie's lips trailing kisses back up to his mouth, whines softly at the feel of Eddie's skin against his own as Eddie blankets him once more, not a breath of space left between them once Eddie settles back in above him, petting gently through Buck's hair as he presses delicate kisses over the sensitive skin of Buck's face. For long moments, Buck lets Eddie play, gives him all the access he needs to explore, but when Eddie's mouth tickles over a particularly sensitive spot beneath Buck's eyelids, he can't help the way a quiet giggle bubbles out of him. It should be embarrassing—should leave him shying away—but he's not, can only smile bright and content, as Eddie shifts back just the tiniest bit, just enough to let his eyes trail over Buck's happy features, and then Eddie's smiling, too, and chuckling just a little, those eyes full of all that soft, hazy brightness Buck had never quite learned to read until this moment, and Buck is absolutely giddy with it when Eddie finally whispers "you're beautiful, sweetheart.”

There's so much behind it—Eddie's words so full of the delicate devotion he's shown Buck from their very beginning, and Buck can't quite help the way his smile turned to a quiet gasp that escapes him at the awe in Eddie's voice. Finds himself reaching up, tracing careful fingers over the frame of Eddie's face, letting his touch come to rest at the cut of his jaw. And then Buck's urging him closer with those gentle fingers, guiding Eddie in for a soft press of a kiss that doesn't go further, but lingers, the both of them breathing the same air for long moments after they part, and Buck lets his gaze wander over every delicate feature his eyes can reach.

When he meets Eddie's eyes, he feels flayed open—like Eddie can see every complicated part of him he tries his best to hide. “Make love to me,” Buck pleads, whisper quiet, and for a moment he feels silly and cliché. But Eddie's eyes only soften, a sweet adoration Buck knows well suddenly settling into a whole new context he'd once expected he could never have.

Eddie doesn't answer, really, not in words, but his eyes study Buck's features like he’s something precious, and he presses his body closer than Buck think should be possible, leaving every inch of Buck singing with a sweet pleasure unlike anything he's ever felt before because it's Eddie, and he thinks maybe Eddie's touch is everything he's been searching for.

Eddie dips in to kiss him, then. A sweet, searing kiss that's over too soon and has Buck whimpering as Eddie shifts to mouth at the curve of his neck. Buck hopes he might leave traces there, marks Buck might get to keep even after he leaves Eddie's bed.

“I'll give you anything you want, Buck,” Eddie promises, then. Whispered words he hides in the crook of Buck's neck that leave Buck gasping and clinging tighter. “Anything at all.”

"Eddie," Buck whines, and it's desperate. A sweet, delicate, broken sound that trips over his tongue and catches in his throat that has Eddie smiling against the curve of Buck's neck, and Buck whines again as his breath hitches. "Eddie, I want you. Please. Tell me-tell me you want me, too."

"Sweetheart," Eddie presses into Buck's skin, lets his lips form gentle, reassuring kisses that linger as he pulls back, just far enough to catch Buck's eye, lets the fingers of one hand stroke through Buck's hair and then trace delicately over the birthmark at his brow, as he studies Buck's face, "of course I want you. I’ve never wanted anyone the way I want you.”

For a moment, Buck's quiet, trying his best to blink away the overwhelming emotion that settles over him at Eddie's words. But then he's reaching, sinking his own fingers back into Eddie's hair, hand cradling his neck. Then, near breathless, “How do you want me?”

“Forever.”
