wait fuck I’m chewing glass bc “we don’t go past the glass doors” “I don’t know who broke that rule first; probably me”
eddie’s literal first scene was behind glass doors
which was followed up by the shot of eddie and chris behind the glass doors at the school after the earthquake
and then a single episode later buck stepped inside with him, as evidenced by him coming with eddie to the hospital, meaning he literally had to walk through the glass hospital doors
he broke the rule for eddie. he was the first one to break the rule Beacuse Of Eddie
i need an episode that’s the opposite of jinx. i need a bottle episode where no calls come in for an entire 24 hours. i want the beginning of the episode to be the 118 walking into the firehouse, i want the end of the episode being them walking out, and no one gets to leave in between.
i need the episode split up into hour incriments out of 24. i need someone to consider saying the q word, just to see if it will get them out of this god forsaken firehouse.
and most of all, i need the episode before this to leave off on a buddie feelings realization cliffhanger so that we get them forced to spend 24 hours in the same building with no escape from talking about their feelings
Chim stops wiping the coffee table with the washcloth and straightens up. “What is it?”
“It’s Chris…” Buck doesn’t look at either of them. He walks over to the couch and sits down, his gaze transfixed in front of him. “He was so sleepy and I was tucking him into bed when he… he called me the D-word.”
Chimney chuckles at that. “Dumbass?”
“No.” Buck shakes his head slowly. He raises his head and makes eye contact for the first time since he’s come out of Christopher’s room. The expression on his face is bordering on terror. Was it an even worse curse word? It couldn’t possibly have been ‘douchebag,’ not with Chris. “It was, it was dad.”
“Huh,” Eddie says.
“Mmmmm.” Chim follows.
“Aaaah…” Buck sounds like he’s on the verge of a panic attack. Eddie should know.
Right, this conversation is off to a great start.
This was in my drafts for IDEK how long. I kept meaning to say thank you for the kindness, but I kept getting too emotional. But if you see this, I hope you know I’m ALWAYS grateful for every bit of kindness, and always amazed when anyone notices my fics, bothers to read them or remembers them, let alone recommends them to others! Thank you so much! I just… can’t explain how much this means to me. Just know that, to paraphrase Jane Austen, if it didn’t move me so much, I would have managed to find the words to thank you for this far sooner. Thank you again, hon! xoxox
