Cutting Out the Middleman

Taylor Kelly/Lucy Donato, 1,154 words, rated T

Deep down, she thinks both she and Buck knew they were fighting against the current, that their broken edges were causing more cracks the tighter they tried to hold things together. And she's relieved, in a way. Taylor's never been good at lying to herself and she has to admit that's what she'd been doing for a long time now.

Probably since the second Buck kissed Lucy, really.

For the @9-1-1-kinkmeme prompt: What it says on the tin. After she and Buck break up, Taylor decides she wants to find out what was so great about kissing that hot flight medic. Lucy's happy to demonstrate.

Taylor should be out celebrating. She just broke the story of the decade about a serial killer amongst some of the city's finest and yet she's here; haunting the same old badge and ladder doing a postmortem of yet another relationship crash and burn. Taylor Kelly, coming to you live from the smoldering wreckage of the last several months of her life. And she can't even really be all that mad about it.

Deep down, she thinks both she and Buck knew they were fighting against the current, that their broken edges were causing more cracks the tighter they tried to hold things together. And she's relieved, in a way. Taylor's never been good at lying to herself and she has to admit that's what she'd been doing for a long time now.

Probably since the second Buck kissed Lucy, really.

"What was it you said to me? 'I'd hate for things to get messy again'? I think you might have jinxed us with that one." As if summoned by some sort of karmic retribution, Lucy Donato swings herself into open seat next to Taylor at the bar.

Taylor fixes her with a tight smile, holding up her glass in a mock toast.

"If you're here to warn me off the 118, you can save your breath, I've learnt my lesson."

"The 118 can look after themselves, I am here to drink," Lucy says, enforcing the casual words with an easy sprawl of her legs. Out of the usual straight laced LAFD uniform or bulky bunker pants, Taylor supposes she shouldn't be surprised at the tight play of muscle under Lucy's jeans as she knocks her knee against where Taylor's are tucked up by the bar. Buck had insane thighs too, it must be a firefighter thing, she muses, taking another sip of her whiskey and polishing off the glass.

Lucy orders herself one of the beers on tap as Taylor considers her over the rim of her lowball glass, watching the smooth line of her throat as Lucy takes a long pull.

"Look, I'm not your enemy, I may have not liked how you did it, but I guess if the story had to come out, I'm glad it was you," Lucy says, apparently catching how Taylor had been eyeing her. She needed to work on her covert surveillance if she was being that obvious. Or maybe cut back on the drinking.

Taylor orders another lowball.

"I didn't say that you were," Taylor says simply, tilting her head and watching as Lucy's eyes follow the fall of her hair as it shifts over her shoulder. Time was, Taylor wasn't so sure if that was true. She didn't like it, playing the jealous girlfriend; feeling small and trapped and found wanting. Wondering what it was about her that pulled Buck across that line.

"You don't need to, your face is doing a lot of the talking for you," Lucy says back with a shrug, taking another long drink but punctuating the comment with a smile. Taylor does her best to school herself back into a neutral expression but she thinks maybe she's starting to get an inkling of what that thing may have been now.

"And what, exactly, do you think my face is saying?" Taylor raises a single polished eyebrow, an expression she's well perfected over the years, and feels a coil of satisfaction as Lucy turns fully to face her, giving her her full attention. Her eyes feel like a heavy weight on Taylor's skin as they trace across her face, down her cheek, her lips, back to Taylor's eyes. Taylor holds her stare.

"I think it's saying that there's something you want to ask me," Lucy says after a moment.

"That's presuming a lot." "Hey, I'm just calling it how I see it." Lucy's grin is charming, Taylor reluctantly admits, she can see the appeal. And Taylor's not blind, she could tell Lucy was attractive even sweaty and covered in soot, but it's different now, having those dark eyes turned on her, the full weight of Lucy's easy confidence and attention.

"So. What is it?" Taylor blinks, caught out staring for a second time tonight. "That you want to ask me," Lucy prompts again.

"I want to know why he kissed you," Taylor says, pleased to see that seems to have stumped Lucy at least for a moment.

"You know, I didn't expect you to actually come out and say it." Lucy scrubs at her chin, abashed but apparently not entirely ashamed for being called out about kissing someone else's boyfriend. Ex-boyfriend.

"I've found it's always better to be direct about things."

"Yeah, I'm getting that. For the record, I didn't know he had a girlfriend until after we kissed. It was all in good fun," Lucy says, still watching Taylor closely.

"No, I figured, which means something about you was worth it," Taylor surmises, leaning in closer. "If I could just figure out what…" Lucy's eyes land on her lips again and Taylor smirks in triumph.

"I'd be happy to demonstrate, you know, for science or whatever," Lucy says slowly, setting her glass aside.

Taylor's barely moved her own before she's stepping forward, high-heeled shoe placed firmly between the v of Lucy's legs as she shifts into her space. With Lucy sitting down, Taylor's just tall enough to be able to tilt Lucy's face up, nails carding and catching in the hair behind her ear as she pulls her to face her.

Lucy's mouth is warm and Taylor feels heat bloom in her stomach as she wraps a strong arm around her waist and pulls her closer, her other hand coming to rest with surprising gentleness to tilt Taylor's face and deepen the kiss.

Taylor chases the taste of hops and saliva as she presses in closer, her own lips already whiskey warm and tingling as Lucy's tongue brushes over the seam of her lips as Taylor opens her mouth for more.

For a breathless moment, it's all Taylor feels, the slick slide of Lucy's mouth, the hot brand of her arm across her back and gentle fingers against her cheek. She sees a flash of dark eyes watching her under long lashes before Taylor finally pulls back, wiping at the corner of her mouth where she's sure her lipstick's smudged and clearing her throat.

"Well, I suppose I can see what all the fuss was about," Taylor says belatedly, forcing herself back and out of the loose loop of Lucy's arm as she drops back into her seat.

They're both quiet for a moment, drinking in easy comradery even as Taylor can see Lucy watching her from the corner of her eye.

"You know," Lucy starts after a beat, "I'm happy to try it again, you know. If you needed to collect more data or something."

Taylor grins.

"I do like to be thorough," she agrees, leaning back in.

I ship Riaz (Josh/Eddie) in the sense that I will read every single fic on ao3 under their tag. All 18 of them. I’ve seen an edit or two of them. I’d love to start seeing fanart!

I am still rooting for buddie canon but they’re cute to imagine together because they are imaginary.

I’d really love to see more unusual pairings get content in this fandom Hannikar! Lucy/Taylor!Fuck it! Bobby/Michael! Like, just for funsies. Cause fandom is supposed to be fun!

You wake up as a side character in the 9-1-1verse

Which characters would you want to share a subplot with?

Expand on the plot line and your role in the tags if you feel inspired 🤪

why is kissing lucy while dating taylor and dealing w separation anxiety from his ex-partner best friend co-parent the most bisexual thing buck’s ever done. dude, you cheated on your gf w eddie’s replacement! if eddie had shown up at the bar buck would’ve never kissed lucy, he’d be too distracted flirting w eddie. plus taylor and lucy are so fucking queer.

[jewishgirlrevolt]

The best thing to come out of the 911 fandom... other than all the fun BuckTommy fics, art, and headcanons, of course...

...Is all the fun fanfiction and new Eddie ships. More Eddie/Josh fics. But also. Eddie/Taylor fics, Eddie/Lucy fics. I even saw someone mentioning Eddie/Sal fics. All of these are so fun and some are wild and some are silly. But I am so here for all of them. Thanks, fanfiction writers. You're awesome.

buck and tommy get back together, their both fully aware of each other's dating history now. (this comes into play soon) tommy knows how much buck loves little fun facts and trivia, and the 217 hold a trivia night where there are two teams, the 217 and their partners (or friends). lucy is also part of the 217 and her and tommy are work friends they don't really talk much about their personal lives. tommy is very much aware that buck kissed lucy while still dating taylor. lucy makes some jokes about it sometimes because one thing she does know about tommy's personal life is that tommy is dating buck (because the lapd are a bunch of gossips) tommy brings buck to one of the 217 trivia nights and buck is very awkward around lucy, and lucy has been dating someone for almost two years now. buck is very happy for her little did he know who it was (and who he'd have to be on a team with)

"oh i-is your partner here tonight?" buck asked.

"yup," lucy smirks, "she just got here."

lucy gestures behind him and it is the last person he ever expects, taylor kelly.

"hey buck," taylor smiles "good to see you." she walks past buck to give lucy a kiss.

buck is absolutely mortified, speechless, fumbling over his words unable to get an actual sentence in. (in bucks mind: taylor and lucy together??? how???) a minute later buck pulls tommy aside questioning him and how he didn't know this already.

"i-i knew that lucy was dating a taylor but i didn't know it was the taylor you were telling me about before."

"have you not seen her at any of the trivia nights before."

"yeah a few times."

"and you didn't recognize her?"

"i don't really watch the news evan, i mainly just read it."

and of course buck has to now be on the same team as taylor for trivia night, he considers this in his top 10 most awkward moments of his life.

Update on my husband, who I am forcing to watch 9-1-1:

- we got to the scene where Eddie asks Bobby to transfer back from dispatch (“Go to hell, Bobby”) and he could not believe what just happened. Biggest shock the show has given him. He needed several minutes.

- he misses Michael so much :(

- Josh is still his fave side character and asserts that Josh was right to put Eddie in his place that one time (and he’s right)

- he was yelling “no!” at the TV when Buck kissed Lucy and then asked Taylor to move on.

- he knows that Buck will date a “Tommy” eventually but he hasn’t put it together that it’s the same Tommy in the begins episodes, so Jonah came on screen and he said “Ooooo is this Tommy?”… no baby…
