Out of the Woods

Well. That episode....was a thing that happened.

Well, good news, guys! I've decided it didn't. Isn't that fun? I didn't think I'd be up to writing for them, but I've marshaled myself with the help of the bucktommy community. I really hope it helps you guys to read it as much as it helped me to write it.

Title from the song of the same name by Taylor Swift.

bucktommy - Words: 2.1k - Rating: T - complete

8x06 fix-it fic, so spoilers for that, obviously.

“Please stay,” Evan pleads, Tommy can hear the edges of tears in his voice, and his own eyes fill against his will. “Please don’t leave; talk to me. This isn’t the guy who agreed to go to my sister’s wedding with me. This isn’t the guy who took care of me after I dislocated my shoulder and went to a funeral for a dead outlaw just because I asked him to.” Tommy raises his hand and wipes his eyes before turning slowly. Evan’s still sitting on the island, looking at him pleadingly. Tommy walks back to his seat and sits down, and Evan exhales slowly. “Thank you,” he says and Tommy sees his hand shift slightly, as though to take Tommy’s but he doesn’t. Tommy wishes he would.

・❥・HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY LOU FERRIGNO JR!・❥・

the way buck said tommy is his most transformative relationship since abby implies that nobody between the abby arc and tommy arc has had that kind of important impact on buck's life. very interesting implications for the bvddie of it all. i chuckle

idk obviously it is up to each viewer to interpret this however they choose, but personally i do think he was explicitly referring to romantic relationships in this context, which of course him and eddie are not in one and have not been so it would make sense not to mention him

7400 beads later!! I’ve been working on this lampshade for monnnthss and it almost feels unreal to be done 💙

[thehotpilot]

hiiii

[thehotpilot]

can you explain why you would call tommy buck's "most transformative" love interest? i mean he himself drew a parallel between abby and tommy. buck's had several other li's with way more screen time, too. not trying to come across as antagonistic btw (i'm autistic and ik I can come across especially blunt in my written communications.) full disclosure--i've been on the fence about tommy since he was introduced, and I never really got why so many 911 fans jumped on the bandwagon, so to speak. like I've never seen that energy for any of his female love interests, but maybe I'm reading too much into things.

no worries! my personal feelings about tommy aside, i’m simply quoting buck directly when he said “my relationship with abby was the most transformative of my life, until now” implying that he thinks this relationship with tommy is of equal or more transformative value.

[thehotpilot]

ok but how am i supposed to settle for anything less than bucks most transformative relationship huh

[thehotpilot]

this…. this is what happened last night, right?

So I started Brilliant Minds (as recommended by a bunch of 911 blogs) tonight and all I can say is I'm seated, definitely the best choice after deciding to take a break from 911

I recommend it to anyone who's in the same boat as me in terms of complete disappointment from 911

[thehotpilot]

Truly, from the bottom of my heart, I have had SO much fun this year - more fun than I’ve had in all the years I’ve spent in the 911 fandom. You folks filled my dash with spectacular art and a stunning number of amazing fanfics and gif sets. You wrote thoughtful meta posts and cute headcanons that made the pairing feel rich and complex despite its short life. You fuckers made me laugh out loud with your always-hilarious shitposts.

I hope that some of you, like me, will be able to come back to this ship when the disappointment feels less raw. I hope we can continue to make and share creative works about a pairing that has brought us a lot of happiness. I’ll never believe that Buck and Tommy’s relationship was a waste, because it’s special. It has meaning. The show itself will go wherever it goes, but fanon can’t be taken from us. That’s the nice thing about it.

It might take me a few weeks, but I know I’ll be able to enjoy what we made together again and eagerly look forward to the creativity to come. I hope you all can too.

LOU FERRIGNO JR RESISTING ROOTS (2022)

[thehotpilot]

i genuinely don’t think anything leading up to this episode re bucks bisexual storyline was a waste because it really was beautifully done. and yeah so much hatred came out of it but also SO much kindness and ART and interaction and engagement and inspiration. which is probably why it hurts so much but it’s never a waste of time to care so deeply and intimately about anything. it is so freeing and powerful to let yourself care without inhibitions. i’m trying not to let my hurt emotions fool me into thinking it wasn’t worth the investment because if the alternative was none of it and none of the pain, i still wouldn’t trade anyything for the joy and community that came out of it.

[thehotpilot]

i hate to admit it but this lou interview was so good and heart wrenching. and it got me to love lou even more than i possibly ever thought i could.
