Maybe a hot take idk, but it's been a topic I've seen discussed more on twitter cause we love to rediscuss everything during hiatus (I love that, that wasn't meant to be shady I love rediscussing things and seeing new perspectives) but if Daniel had survived the Buckley parents would not have kept Buck. I truly do not think they would have kept him long term. Like I could see them keeping Buck until he's like 5 max just in case Daniel went out of remission and needed more transfusions, but after that? Nah. They would have taken a "day trip" or some shit and given Maddie and Daniel a backpack with some toys, but Buck's would have had like a change of clothes and some very basic necessities (and this is me being generous with them tbh) and found a spot to drop Buck off. Maybe pretended they were playing a game, or just distracted him and walked away. Maddie and Daniel would have also been distracted, or if they were having them at like a park or something on the other side of the park. Like I truly can't see them keeping Buck if Daniel had survived I just can't, they did not want him at all so why would they keep the spare parts once they've used him up to keep the boy they did want?

Atlas (bound) | New Fic | 9-1-1
We were struggling with a few wips, so I rewatched Buck Begins and y'all I had feelings. And opinions. And @liminalmemories21 indulged me as only she could. Honestly, so much of the foundation for this fic was me expounding at her at length in chat and then her turning that into something that actually made sense.
He glances at Tommy. Waits for him to say something.Ā "Do you even know what youāre apologizing for?āĀ Buck doesnāt say anything.Ā Partly because what heās apologizing for is too big to quantify, and partly because Tommyās right, heās not sure what it is precisely that Tommyās mad about.Ā āYou know," Tommy finally says in that tone of voice that sounds calm but isn't. "When you asked me to your sister's wedding for our second date, I did kind of assume that meant you were close to your family."
Wherein there are many dates, a visit to the Venice Beach gym for reasons, and a meet the parents that goes predictably sideways.
And if you haven't seen Michelangelo's Atlas, here you go.

When he was a kid, Evan made a Mothers Day card for his Mum at School one year. Everyone was making them, and he was really excited. She was not interested in it at all, and he later found it thrown away.
He did the same thing on Fathers Day, same thing happened.
Both times broke his heart.
The next time Mothers Day came around, he wanted to cry. Everyone in his class were making these cards and so excited about giving them to their Mums, how happy they'd be and how much they'd love them. Evan knew that wasn't the case for him. He knew who would appreciate a card though, who loved him more than anyone. Maddie.
So he made Maddie a Mothers Day card. She cried when he gave it to her. She put it up in her room, and then kept it in a box with all the other drawings and stuff her little brother gave her.
It became a tradition. Every Mothers Day, he'd make Maddie a card. Even when he got to an age where it wasn't really cool, he'd get her a card.
He never actually stops. Even when she's with Doug, he sends her one every year, just as he sent the postcards. And just like with the postcards, she keeps every one of them.
The first Fathers Day after Maddie and Chimney get married, Buck gives Chimney a card referring to him as his Step-Dad as a joke. He does this at work in front of everyone, they all find it hilarious.
That also becomes something he does every year. Chimney keeps them all too. He'll never admit it to Buck though.
#911 abc#evan buckley#maddie buckley#maddie buckley han#chimney han#maddie x chimney#madney#buckley siblings#brothers in law#obviously buck doesn't see chim as a father figure#its all a joke#but also a way of showing how much he loves him#he's married to the person who raised him#someone has to make this joke!#bobby also gets a fathers day card every year eventually#he loves it#he cries every time#the buckley parents suck#i'm english hence the use of the word mum

just some 9-1-1 headcanons/plot bunnies
so i've kinda gone on a 9-1-1 deep dive that started out casual and rapidly turned into an obsession. a few things to note, i definitely think that buck and eddie have something (whether it's romantic or queerplatonic is up for grabs but there's something beyond friendship there and no one can convince me otherwise) and i am a strong subscriber to any tropes that strongly encourage found family/families so...make of that what you will
anyway, after binging all of the available episodes, i have several headcanons that i want to put out there (for some reason a lot of them are from season 5???)
ana realizing that there's more to eddie and buck's relationship than it seems in that scene from s5e2 when she brings christopher to the station. buck clocks that eddie has started panicking immediately and ana just like. *looks* at him for a few seconds in a way that just makes me think that this woman clocked that they have a deeper than normal connection to one another. that or she's heard about buck but obviously has never seen eddie and buck interact and is suddenly realizing exactly what people keep trying to tell her about
a buck/eddie-focused exploration of the aftermath of 'brawl in cell block 9-1-1'. buck freaking out once mitchell's been carted off to get his heart taken out and refusing to let eddie go anywhere while checking him for injuries, eddie having some uncomfortable realizations about just how affected buck was by the whole experience. personally, i feel that would lead to them actually talking about the sniper and all the mess that goes with it
lots of potential for temporary angst with eddie having a lot of big feelings about having failed as a husband in his marriage to shannon and not wanting to get married again b/c of it (thinks he doesn't deserve another shot at it? thinks there's something fundamentally wrong with him to where he can't? don't know how this would manifest exactly). personally, i see this eventually leading to him and buck realizing that they're more or less functionally married and they may as well reap some tax benefits from it but you can do whatever you want with that
buck goes to the funerals of many of the people who die on calls that he's a part of. it's mostly people that he directly worked on and he doesn't tend to tell anyone that he's a first responder that was involved (b/c of how devon's sister reacted in s1) but he does go to them.
kinda of tied to the headcanon above this but! buck getting adopted by a bunch of older queer folk following the deaths of mitchell and thomas in s2. he goes to the joint funeral that was planned for the two of them, in part b/c he wants/needs to and in part bc he accidentally took a few photos from the scrapbook from the scene (he shoved them in his pocket on instinct when thomas collapses). anyway, he shows up and the older queer community has rallied to show up at the funeral and they recognize him as someone who needs more found family and just adopt him into their ranks. i could see the 118 finding out about this soon after it happens or not until years later; maybe karen and hen finding out sooner than everyone else but buck asks them to keep it quiet?
s5e14 where jee-yun gets sick? what if it actually WAS leukemia and she somehow ends up needing some sort of donation (plasma? bone marrow? idk really anything about how cancer is treated). jee's put on a list and they start testing family members, none of whom work out until...buck. cue maddie not wanting to ask that of buck b/c of all the baggage that comes with daniel and the buckley parents are absolute assholes about it (along the lines of completely disregarding buck's autonomy as a human being in the face of their precious granddaughter being in trouble), maybe a chimney that isn't trying to be pushy about it but also just...can't help pushing a bit, a buck that so overwhelmed with everything that he's feeling that he goes off the rails a bit. obviously everything works out and buck donates or whatever needs to happen and jee-yun is completely fine b/c i don't actually want it to end badly
the entire 'buck's a sperm donor' family argument and maraget saying "you're a miracle baby yourself" made my fucking blood boil and i want to see a better exploration of the fallout of that statement b/c you just know that there was more to it than it just getting brushed off
buck telling maddie that he has a checklist that he goes through every time he wakes up post-coma in s6e12. chris and eddie being part of that list, where buck is just constantly checking up on them to make sure that they're still in LA (part of the reason why it's so easy for him to fall asleep/relax on the diaz couch or in their house in general). eddie doesn't notice the uptick in check-ins b/c he's too busy figuring out the least intrusive ways for him to check in on buck at all times b/c he NEEDS to know that buck is alive/breathing. once eddie notices though, he confronts buck about it
maddie asking buck to be her maid of honor for her wedding since hen is obviously going to have best man privileges. mostly just exploring the ridiculous that this brings up and everyone joking about buck in a dress (up to you whether he actually wears one to the wedding or not), but i have to include a side note that the buckley parents are dicks about it and have no sense of humour/fun
literally anything featuring athena being worried about buck as a maternal figure, i was so disappointed by her lack of interaction when buck was struck by lightning and, while i'm so fucking happy to have may acknowledging that buck is bobby's son too, we missed out on athena being devastated by the situation as well
there will probably be more of these to come at some point knowing myself.

"We live with a reminder everyday, staring us in the face."
This is why I can't understand why 911 is going down the "parents are forgiveable" storyline.
No love in that house.
Just a rewatching thought

Italian Steve Harrington hcs because why not:
He was born in Italy (ovbisouly) but moved to hawkins when he was around 10 or 11.
He speaks fluent Italian, it's his first language, which is why he asks what certain words mean so much. He's still expanding his English vocabulary.
He always writes his notes in Italian, he was forced to stop writing in Italian at school but after he graduated he started again. Robin keeps trying to read his little notes but she doesn't know Italian yet. (He has a journal that's in Italian because he knows Robin keeps trying to read it)
He teaches Robin Italian because she wanted to learn. Mainly so she could understand what he mumbles.
When he's stressed, scared, or angry he'll start rambling/yelling in Italian. No one understands him but Eddie always gets him to calm down. Robin does too but for some reason Eddie does it the best. Unless he's arguing then he has to be reminded to speak English.
He's an amazing cook, everything he makes is good. Steve tries his best to introduce everyone to certain Italian dishes.
He has several of his grandma's old cook books.
During the holidays his parents force him to fly out to Italy to see the rest of his family. After the age of 13, his parents are already there waiting for him.
He insults people in Italian so they don't understand him. Dustin, Mike, and Robin are normally the victims.
Sometimes he'll just switch into Italian and has to be reminded to speak English.
He loved living in Italy but refuses to move back because all of his friends (family) that matter live in Hawkins.

Nother Idea: Steve has a really bad migraine when he sees his parents for the first time post spring break from hell. He is still recovering from his injuries & his parsnts don't know how to help him. He is in tears begging his father or mother to get him Rob or Eds. And they have no clue who that is. The other parent finds a note by the main house phone and one by his bedroom phone with the names Robin & Eddie with their numbers. And they watch their adult son get coddled by a lesbian and a metalhead. Bsjsjcjdjd maybe they find out about the UD???
I TOOK A BREAK FROM PLANNING OUR WEDDING FOR THIS MY LOVE!!! You know how I feel about migraine Steve and you know how I feel about some good old hurt/comfort and how I feel about Steve's parents just being shitty always. It's like you wrote this request from MY BRAIN. It's a bit shorter than I could've done, but I am rushing out the door at this point and wanted to have it posted today in case I can't tonight. Hope you love it!!! - Mickala ā¤ļø
-------------------------------------------------------
Luck was never on Steveās side.
He hadnāt slept more than a few hours in weeks, his brain and body constantly running through checklists of things he had to do and people he needed to check on.
It was catching up with him in the form of the worst migraine heās had in months.
And now his parents were home.
He could hear them talking downstairs, their voices carrying and making Steve wince against his pillow.
He managed to close his curtains when he got up to use the bathroom this morning, but hadnāt managed to do anything else. Including close his door.
He hadnāt really expected that to be an issue since he was alone all the time.
His parents hadnāt been home in nearly six months. They hadnāt even bothered to call when the āearthquakeā hit.
He kept his eyes closed in hopes that they wouldnāt bother him, maybe theyād even close his door for him if they thought he was asleep.
Wishful thinking.
His dadās booming voice was suddenly right next to him, echoing around his room and his head.
āItās the middle of the damn day, Anne! He canāt sleep his life away!ā
Steve let out a groan, burying his head as far into his pillows as he could to avoid some of the noise.
His father would give up eventually, probably call him something terrible, be disappointed, the usual. But heād leave, and Steve could bask in the peace and quiet again.
āDo you hear me, Steven? Anne, heās ignoring me!ā
Steve groaned again as he heard his motherās voice from the doorway.
āRichard, heās clearly hungover. We should come back later.ā
SteveĀ lovedĀ that idea. If they left, he could try to sleep this migraine off.
āIām not just leaving him! He has to act like a responsible adult someday, Anne. We donāt pay for this house for him to spend his days hungover in it.ā
āNot hungover.ā
Steveās voice was muffled against the pillow, his head pounding with every movement of his lips, but he knew he had to at leastĀ tryĀ to stick up for himself.
āSo youāre just a useless sack in the middle of the day on a Thursday for no reason, then?ā
Steve let out a whine at the sharp pains shooting through his head.
āEddie. Call?ā
Words were hard when your head was trying to implode on itself.
āWho is Eddie? Is that the person who got you drunk? I willĀ notĀ be calling this Eddie person, and I expect you to be up, showered, and dressed by the time we are back from our business dinner. Do you understand?ā
āRobin.ā
āIsnāt that your girlfriend? IsĀ sheĀ responsible for this?ā
Steve wanted to scream that the people responsible for this were dead or Russian spies who wereĀ hopefullyĀ dead and no thanks to either of his parents, he often spent days like this.
Not as often since he practically had Robin and Eddie living with him, but enough.
āNo. Eddie.ā
āEddie isnāt your girlfriend.ā Anne was closer now. āDo you need medical attention? Youāre not making any sense. Oh goodness, Richard, maybe heās having a stroke.ā
His side was pulsing. Eddie said his did too sometimes, a casual reminder that theyād been nearly eaten alive. The pain wasnāt nearly as bad as his head, though.
He needed to get to his phone so he could call Eddie.
Eddie knew what to do to help. He wouldnāt be scared of his parents.
Just as he started to move his head so he could try to roll out of bed, he heard his mom speak again, much lower, probably directly to his dad.
He had extremely sensitive hearing when he had migraines, though, so he could still hear what she was saying.
āThis note has those names with phone numbers. Maybe we should call them?ā
āItās just a hangover. He has to man up.ā
āIt just seems like more than a hangover. Heās in real pain.ā
āYou do what you want. Coddle him if you must. I have a business dinner to get ready for.ā
He heard his father leave the room, but didnāt bother moving.
His mom was suddenly talking into the phone.
āIs this Eddie? Yes, this is Anne Harrington. Steveās mom, yes. He had your number written down by the phone. Heās asking for you and he seems to be quite hungover. Itās not? Oh.Ā Oh.Ā Okay. Well, could you come keep an eye on him, then? I would appreciate it. I could pay you.ā Steve heard yelling on the other end and tried to smirk, but his face was in too much pain. āOkay, see you soon.ā
āSteve? Eddieās coming. He didnāt want any money or anything to sit with you, but Iāll leave some on the counter just in case.ā
āLoves me.ā
āWhat was that?ā
Steve turned his head to the side so he could say it again, emphasize to his mother that people actuallyĀ lovedĀ him.
āHe loves me.ā
He was met with silence, but he was happy about it, his head still finding new ways to hurt even after 100 migraines.
His mom left the room, but he knew Eddie was coming, so he rested.
When he woke up, Robinās hands were in his hair. She was gently combing through it, from scalp to ends, being careful to avoid any tangles that may have been hiding.
āRobs.ā
āHey Dingus,ā she whispered, knowing he couldnāt handle normal talking voices when it was this bad. āGave Eds and I quite a scare having your mom call, you know.ā
āSorry. Couldnāt.ā
āI know. Itās okay.ā
āEddie?ā
āHeās downstairs giving your parents the riot act while he unloads groceries. Heās pissed.ā
āAt me?ā
āNo, never you. Heās got your extra strength pain meds that you wereĀ out ofĀ though.ā
Steve had forgotten to get more last time he went to the store and he admittedly wouldnāt be this bad off if he had them ready to go when he woke up this morning.
But Eddie always took care of him and Robin always took care of him, and he was allowed to not have to do everything for himself anymore.
āItās like you donāt even care that heās hurt because of fucking government conspiracies!ā
āWhat the hell are you talking about?ā
Robinās hand froze as they listened to Eddie and his dad go back and forth.
āThe Russians almost killed him! Where were you? Not fucking here! The monsters almost killed him! Where were you? Probably on a business trip or whatever it is you rich fucks like to do with your time that should be spent checking in on your son.ā
āOh boy,ā Robin slowly started to get up, causing Steve to whimper. āIām gonna send him up here to cool off. Just breathe.ā
So he did. He breathed in, then out, in, then out.
He did that until he felt Eddieās hands in his hair, lips on his forehead.
āHey, sweetheart,ā he whispered against his hair. āBrought you some water and meds.ā
āYelling?ā
āThey deserve it. But donāt worry about that right now. Just take these pills and sleep. I got ya.ā
āGot me.ā
āYeah, sweetheart, always got you.ā
He could hear Robin yelling downstairs now, but he didnāt focus on it, following Eddieās advice and sitting up just enough to swallow the pills and half a glass of water.
As he fell asleep, he heard Robin whispering to Eddie.
āHeās got us, at least.ā
āYeah, he does.ā

Thereās no way you could make me like Any of the main characters parents in 911
Like all of them suck ass, why try redeeming them if they have no redeeming qualities.
Like Maddie and Buckās parents are insane, not only do you have Buck to only save Daniel; you told your probably 9-12 yr old daughter to never bring him up again, to act like he doesnāt exist..
Then you ignore Buck for all his life and make him feel as if he did something wrong; making him feel like a burden like a loser..
Then you get upset with Maddie when buck finds out about his dead brother that he failed to save. And youāre yelling and crying at him saying he never made your life easy.
And like was he supposed to ? He didnāt ask for any of that and Maddie didnāt either.
You practically abandoned her too because she āran off with Dougā you literally never gave you daughter a reason to stay or to trust you.
Itās them never thinking about Buck and his feelings and making him feel like a disappointment. Making him think that the only way to ever get their attention as a kid was to put himself in a bunch of dangerous situations.
And to get hurt because that was the only time that they ever showed him that they cared about him.
It was them always putting their feelings about the past first and thinking about their future with Buck.
______________________________________
Then you have CHIMNEYS DAD !! Like letās talk about this man.
Not only do you neglect your wife and kid- your son who tried to build someāany type of relationship with you. And you just flat out refuse to acknowledge him. Then you guys move out to a different country/state whateverā¦
You guys stay out there for some years and youāre ready to go back but your isnāt and youāre like you know fuck you and bye āš¾
Then while youāre back at home your WIFE ! Your wife falls ill with cancer; and your first thought isnāt hey let me go be there for my wife and kid or anything- itās like āwhat can I do vibeā then your wife dies and you move on and have another kid.
You donāt comfort your son during his time of grief or anything, you just move on. Then years later the kid you have with your now current wife; is now moving out to where Your first son stays and youāre like watch him and help him..
You never really apologize or anything, you just move on with your life.
_________________________
For Eddie I have a whole other post for him
But itās like for the moment the guy can even think- itās was Eddie being there for his mom when his dad wasnāt.
It was Eddie at the Age of like 9 stepping up and being the man of the house. It was Eddie being there for his mom and trying to drive the car and get her to the hospital because shes in labor with Sophia, and he was probably did same thing with Adrianna.
Itās Eddie growing up way too early; itās Eddie having Christopher and both Helena and Ramon are pressing Eddie to marrying Shannon and step up (which Yeah heās got to take care of his kid) but Eddie and Shannon were literally teens and making them get married at that age just added a whole lot of pressure on them.
Even though Eddie doesnāt regret the marriage or anything; And still itās Eddie going out to war and then coming backā to stay with his kid and itās him move miles away from his parentsāAnd itās them saying āyou canāt do that youāve barely been around and he need and your son needs the bestā implying that Eddie isnāt whatās best for his kid ?
And them constantly after that telling eddie in their own way that what heās doing isnāt enough- that heās going to bring his kid down and he needs to do right by his kid..
And itās never about Eddie and itās never howās Eddie (their son) doingā and how can they help be there for him or nothing. Itās always about Chris and never him.
-They didnāt comfort him when Shannon died and they definitely didnāt comfort her when she was alive and Eddie was out serving.
And they donāt comfort Eddie with the whole Kim thing either- like I get it Eddie messed up by seeing her and all that; but there this lady was with his whole dead ex wifeās face and he didnāt know what to do but to go talk with becauseā heās so clearly hasnāt gotten any closure in her death,but I digress.
So with the whole Kim thing they donāt think to be like oh OUR son is clearly going through something and has been going through something for quite a long timeā letās take this moment and talk with him.. NO ITS
ā how could could you do this around Christopherā
āAnd what were you thinkingā
ā he called usāand we think itās best for Christopher to come with usā
AND YOU STANDING THERE WATCHING YOUR SON CRY TO HIS SON ANDā And !?!?!!
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
So Much Much more for all of them
Like itās not even funny when you out all of this to thought.

Ok so in all honesty Iām hoping the look Buckās mom gave after seeing him and Tommy was nothing more than her old brain trying to understand and process what she was seeingā¦
I really hope if his parents mention Tommy anytime soon on the show the depth of angst is so shallow it doesnāt even faze Buckā¦ maybe even surprises him a little that it goes so well. Because we donāt have much time left with Buck this season and even less with Tommy and I want it to be so happy and easy for them
howeverā¦ HOWEVER
in fic format.
I am devouring the deep angst post coming out fics. I need more of them. I crave more of themš
Becauseā¦ thereās a because Iām not just sadistic ok. I need Bucks tribe to stand up to his parents for him. I need MADDIE to stand up to their parents for him. I need Chimney and Bobby and Hen and Eddieā¦ I NEED CHRISSSS TO STAND UP TO THE BUCKLEY PARENTS FOR HIMā¦. I NEED THE NURSES AND- AND SOME RANDOM PATIENT DOWN THE HALL TO STAND UP FOR HIM
YALL *feral noises* I NEED TOMMY TO STAND UP TO MARGARET AND PHILIP BUCKLEY FOR THIS MAN!!!
I know thereās already quite a few out thereā¦ but I need more! I need all the fics of Buckās people showing up for him!
Because his parents just were (are if you are petty like me and cannot forgive and forget) so terrible and they got let off so easyā¦ so soooo easy! And itās not fair!
And so I (ok maybe it is a little sadistically) want even more angst from them so it can be fixed with love from everyone else

idk if iām ever going to get over the fact that Maddie never got a chance to really grieve Daniel.
Like he died and her parents grabbed all their stuff and moved away, to a new town where Daniel didnāt exist and then they checked out. They disappeared into their grief leaving a young (i think 9-10 year old) Maddie to raise her younger brother, to press bandages and kisses to skinned knees, to hug and hold after a scary dream, to teach to ride a bike.
Maddie was too busy raising her brother for her parents she never got a chance to grieve properly, her grief buried just below the surface, and Buck knew she was sad, but not why. Then she married Doug, and she still didnāt get to grieve. She was too busy walking on eggshells and worrying for her baby brother who was wandering the world aimlessly.
Then she ran, and she still didnāt get to grieve the pain from Daniel being shoved down low so she could get through. I donāt think Maddie truly grieved Daniel until after she told Buck, I think that grief was just sat in the bottom off her heart locked away fighting to come out, but Maddie was too busy trying to stay afloat to release it.

saw a tiktok of a guy playing acoustic guitar in the wind and letting the wind add to his music and it got me thinking about steve being able to play guitar.
heās private about it, keeping his acoustic guitar delicately in its case at the back of his closet unless heās playing it. itās partly out of fear for his parentsā reactions if they knew he still had the guitar, and partly because playing is one of his coping mechanisms and he doesnāt want to taint how much it helps him by sharing it with others.
the guitar itself is nothing extravagant at a passing glance, but steve has had it since his grandma on his motherās side passed away and left it for him. his mother had been so happy for him to have it at first when he was 8 and too small to properly play it, telling him about her own childhood full of acoustic songs on the porch and in front of the fire. but that had been before she found out about his fatherās affair and had blamed it on steveā¦ she doesnāt seem to care about him and his guitar anymore, or maybe sheās just forgotten.
playing first became a huge coping mechanism for him after the first upside down incident. his whole world view had been destroyed, and he had anxiety lingering in all of his limbs, so he took his guitar up to the roof of his empty house and just sat there and strummed. he never played any specific songs, but after that first night on the roof he noticed how the wind changed the sound of his guitar and added to it. it was like the wind herself was saying āitās okay, i see you, i hear youā and adding more to the music he played. it calmed him down immensely.
so, whenever heās upset or his bones felt too big for his body, he finds himself on his roof with his guitar.
robin is the first to find out. she comes to visit him one evening after he doesnāt answer the phone (heās too busy on the roof) and practically screeches when she bikes up to his driveway and sees him perched on the roof. itās dark already, so she canāt see the guitar or the peace on his face, she just sees her best friend on the roof, too close to the edge of it for her comfort.
she assumes the worst, but steve is quick to placate her as he climbs down and goes downstairs to let her in. he shows her his little secret, and even takes her up to the roof with him. tells her to listen for the wind, and ignores her baffled and disbelieving look in response. minutes later, sheās swaying gently and quirking her brows every time the wind adds something to the aimless strumming.
eddie finds out next, but much less dramatically. he and steve have been dating for about a month when he stumbles across the case in steveās closet as heās making fun of all the polo shirts hung up.
āmy, my, who is this beauty youāve been hiding?ā is all eddie needs to say for steve to know heās found her. heās shy in response, because this feels different to robin finding out. robin knows music, sure, but eddie is pretentious about music. and steveās not the most technically skilled, he just plays what feels good. nothing extravagant or metal like eddieās used to.
but eddie presses gently, seeing the shy flush to his boyfriendās cheeks. he wants to know more, urges steve to show him, can tell itās special to him. so steve indulges him, takes his hand and drags his boyfriend and the guitar case up to the roof. eddieās much sillier about the wind, in an adorable way. steve tells him about how the wind accompanies him and makes him feel heard, so eddie smiles up at the sky and talks to her.
āthank you for takinā care of my baby, lady wind. can i hear you sing with him?ā
steve just looks at him, baffled for a minute, because even robin (his platonic soulmate) had seemed doubting of how much the wind comforted him and aided his music, but eddie just. is all in, immediately. trusts steve, knows itās important to him.
so steve plays, and the wind sings, and eddie taps along. his guitar still feels private and secret, but he feels comfortable that maybe more people than just the wind should hear him sometimes.

A passing thing in fanfics that I think is so real is that when Margret and Philip Buckley ever talk to Eddie they ask him if his full name is Edmundo/Eduardo or if Eddie is a nickname and he just says
āNoā
