Fic prompts/ideas for 9x13
Listen 9x13 has my mind RUNNING but I'm not a writer at all so if anyone wants to take any of these ideas I have and run with it please do (genuinely please do it because I will never write these) !! All I ask is that you tag me so I can read it!
Buck's Rescue: Buck is held captive a bit longer and (maybe like 6 months) and is rescued after a delivery driver notices the bars on the window and reports it. Athena still has an alert set for anything with Bonnie Sheets or her address and when she hears about it she tells everyone that she's going to check it out herself. Eddie of course demands to go with her and she knows there's no point in arguing. Both Athena and Eddie head down there and join local PD in doing a wellness check. Eddie is able to join the local fire department to work as EMS for this wellness check. When the police swarm the home they find Bonnie holding Buck at gunpoint and Buck is crying. He's been playing as Derek the last 6 months and hasn't left the home. His mind is kinds of mixed up. He sees Athena but he doesn't know what to think. Part of his mind is waking up telling him he needs to be happy because Athena is finally here but another part is scared shitless because these people are pointing guns at his ma (Bonnie). Eddie is waiting outside but he hears the gunshots and doesn't hesitate to run inside where he sees cops standing over Bonnie and Athena hugging a sobbing Buck.
Buck Needs Some Comfort: A few days after Buck and Eddie make it back home Jee gives her Uncle Buck a stuffed animal to help him feel better. That stuffed animal is first soft thing Buck has touched since before the car crash. And what starts as him just appeasing his niece turns into him not being able to go anywhere without this stuffed animal. Days and weeks have gone by and Buck always has his stuffed animal with him. He carries it to his doctor appointments, he carries it to the police station to give his statement, he carries it to Hen's house when she demands they throw a small welcome back party for him and Eddie, he caries it from room to room, it's never out of his sight. No one teases him about it they just all accept that Buck has a stuffed animal. When someone picks him up for his appointment (because he hasn't even thought of getting behind the wheel of a car since) they always remind him "Buck do you have your stuffy?" but one day Buck can't find his stuffy. That leads to Buck having a meltdown.
Eddie & Buck Process What Happened: Buck and Eddie have a quiet moment together either in the car on the 10 hour drive back. Eddie revealing that he thought Buck had been the target of a hate crime. He thought the guys at the diner kidnapped him and killed him. He thought they killed Buck for being queer. He thought he was looking for a body. Buck shares that he was terrified they were going to kill Eddie when they heard his voice. He tried to sacrifice himself. He said he would be Derek. Both of them talk through what that means.
it's important to me that ilya remains captain of the centaurs after shane joins, but i have a specific picture in my mind of shane being assistant captain and being generally harmless and super chill , so the centaurs see him as like the chill parent (something to be said about shane being content in letting someone else, specifically His Someone, have the reins and enjoying not being in charge) but then ilya has to be out for a few weeks for like health or smth so shane goes into Captain Mode and the centaurs are scared shitless by how intense he gets all of a sudden. the most intense drills of all time. the hardest plays they've ever heard of. the strictest practices on earth. and they suddenly understand why shane led the metros/voyagers to victory so many times and why ilya treats him like the boss in their relationship. and then as soon as ilya comes back he turns it off and the centaurs are like Oh Thank Fuck Because What The Hell Was That
AJ: "Was it always a conscious choice for [Ilya] to always touch Shane's face?"
CH: "That's [Connor] living in the character."

"Suzanne Collins gave Coriolanus Snow a tragic backstory and made him sympathetic!" So close. Actually, she put the reader in the POV of an extremely privileged character whose thoughts and views and morals still ultimately aligned with fascism, who constantly fell back on those philosophies no matter how many brief moments of humanity he felt for the Districts. She wrote a realistic human being who aligned himself with the status quo and benefited from it. She demonstrated a character who did not become kinder or more empathetic through his suffering, but instead became angrier at the indignity of it, and punished the ones he saw as "deserving" it sevenfold. She showed you, the reader, that those in power know exactly how much the oppressed suffer, and do it anyway, even if they briefly suffer the same.
Sometimes I can still hear their voice
Breaking: TikTok is better bc it’s more hostile towards humanity
The lack of video content is what kept us here... I thought we all agree that the best feature of this hellhole was and always will be anonymity.
Tumblr's not asking for my phone number. It's not going through my contacts to try and connect me with my fucking colleagues. I can come here and talk about whatever I want without anyone ever seeing my face or hearing my voice. I don't have to censor myself and hide my interests or enthusiasm out of fear of consequences it might have in my real life.
I think the biggest misunderstanding they have of Tumblr is that they think of it as a social media platform when in actuality it's a blogging platform with social features.
I like the use of Metroman here because if there's one thing Tumblr users collectively agree on it's that we want everyone to think we're dead
wish we were still on Tumblr instead of the void
ok but can you believe that “even when i had nothing i had bucky” is an actual sentence that steve rogers has said out loud
heated rivalry twitter (7/?) ft married hollanov in celebration of the book 3 announcement
The thing is that Ilya has no fucking clue what autism is. He probably read the word when some twitter user called Shane autistic and wanted to look it up but got distracted by a post about Shane's tits or smth.
What he does know though is that Shane folds his clothes before sex. And he smiles at him with adoration when he does it and doesn't rush him or make fun of him for it. He knows Shane doesn't always pick up on his jokes and sarcasm "That's French, Ilya" but he doesn't mind it and would never make Shane feel bad about it or dismiss his response "Yeah I know, Shane". He knows Shane has a PhD in The Arts of Overthinking "Now the bed's all dirty" so he playfully chases his worries away and closes all those open tabs in Shane's brain "What? Shut up". He knows Shane will not rest until he has everything in his life under control so he grumbles when Shane wakes him up in the middle of the night to tell him how they can make it all work but still listens intently to his plan. He knows Shane feels overwhelmed and anxious when stuff doesn't go down as planned "This is my actual fucking nightmare, Ilya" "I'm okay I'm just freaking out I'll be okay in a second" so he softly comforts him and supports him through it "Then maybe it's time to wake up, yes?" "We're good here, your family's here, you're boyfriend's here, we're good here, ok?" He knows Shane has to hear it to believe it "My boyfriend?" so he gently goes "I mean yes, I think so, probably".
He doesn't know Shane is autistic but he knows Shane and he loves Shane and Shane happens to be autistic
Shane Hollander is the most omega man I have ever seen in my life.
Buck: Eddie is just a brother to me. No homo, full platonic
Harry: I'm your brother and if you looked at me the way you looked at Eddie, I would have called the police.
The phone vibrates for some time now. Hen, Chim, and Ravi watch it slowly vibrate off the edge and hit the floor with a good smack.
Ravi winced as his eyes flickered to Eddie, who sat there rubbing his forehead and sighing.
"You, uh, gonna get that?" Ravi asks.
"Nope," Eddie says, relaxing further in the chair and kicking his feet up. "Where the hell is Buck? Thought he'd be here by now," the man says. They were at a small get-together at Maddie's and Chim's.
"So, who are you exactly ignoring?" Hen asks.
"Nobody," Eddie says.
Hen huffs. "Right, and I'm a straight woman."
The phone then starts a series of singular brr-brr.
"That, my friend, is a group chat," Chim says, waltzing in the living area with drinks. "What other group chat are you also in, Diaz? Are you cheating on us?"
Eddie laughs. "No, no it's just-" another single vibration. "My cousins, and sisters. They're trying to get me to come over."
"Oh?" Hen asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Are you not on good terms with them?" Ravi asks, curious about the man's family.
"I am," Eddie sighs. "They all caught wind of me coming out, you know? And by wind, I mean my mom calling every single family member and telling them what I told them,"
"Ooo, damn," Hen winces. "Do you think they wouldn't...?"
"No, no, they wouldn't care. My cousin Alysia has a wife. Still, I'm a little nervous. I didn't get the chance to tell them, and so I'm avoiding them. And I don't want the date set-ups to start again," Eddie groans.
"Well, it doesn't seem to be working," Maddie says with a sigh. "Baby Nash is down for a nap. "Thanks again for the white noise machine, Hen. I was freaking out when our old one stopped working so suddenly."
"Hey, not a problem. We have a few in the closet, so it's no bother."
Another vibration, but this time it was a different pattern. Eddie perks up, reaching over for his phone. "That's Buck."
"I'm not going to even comment on the fact that he set a different pattern just for Buck," Chim says, amused.
Eddie quickly sits up, alert. "What the fuck--" he says, panicking. Everyone whips their heads over to Eddie, all concerned.
"What?"
"Did something happen to Buck?" Maddie says, worried. She pulls her phone out."
"He just messaged me help sos, but left a crying emoji," Eddie says, confused. "Jesus Christ my cousins and sister left so many messages," the man mutters. Eddie notices a voicemail left by his cousin.
He sighs, ignoring it and clicking on the voicemail Buck left.
"I have been taken against my WILL," the voicemail Buck left says.
Maddie tilts her head at her brother's tone of voice. Not panicking enough.
A woman laughs, "You came willingly!"
"I-I did not--" the voicemail ends.
Eddie glares at the screen.
That laugh.
"That was my fucking sister," Eddie hisses. He scrolls back to his voicemail logs, clicking on the previous one he had ignored from his cousin.
"Ahhhh!!!!! Baby Primo!!! Come on, don't ignore us!! We just wanna hang out. It's been forever, and I feel like we haven't done that in a while--hang you know? We got a party going on, ama making some food, managed to get your sister here too, but she said you wouldn't come unless we had something to get you to come over. Usually, abuela works, pero you know she's in Texas right now for a small trip," his cousin, Fernando, says.
Oh. Oh no.
"I don't like where this is going~" Chim says, looking at Eddie amused.
"Oh no," Eddie mutters in horror.
"So we got your gringo here!" Fernando cheers. "It was easy, man."
Another voice chimes in. "Yeah, all Sophia had to do was show up at his place and wave baby pictures of you, you know, the one where you were all cute and chunky--" Alysia, his cousin, says.
Eddie's face turns red. He glares at Hen and the others, who were all too amused by the events unfolding. Hen looks like she really wants to see those photos.
She was going to probably get those photos one way or another.
Alysia continues. "He was confused about who we were until he spotted Adriana and Sophia, probably from family photos you have in your house. Soon as he saw your baby photo, he was all happy, smiling away. Swear his eyes lit up and everything."
"They manhandled me into the car!" Buck's voice says in the background.
"He's kinda right. Sophia actually manhandled him into the car. Said something about it being chilly and that we should all sit in the car." That. That was his sister, Adriana. "He was like, 'okay.'"
"They're lying!" Buck cries out.
"You keep that up, and I'm not showing the videos," Adriana threatens.
Silence.
"Thought so," She huffs,
Jesus Christ.
"Anyways, you know where mi mama is, we're all at her place. We'll wait for you. Don't worry, I think ama is going to keep him busy in the kitchen. We'll feed him, too. He looks like he needs a few tacos," Fernando mutters.
The voicemail ends.
And a headache starts forming for Eddie.
"Did-Did your family just kidnap my brother?" Maddie asks.
"Is it kidnapping if he went willingly?" Chim says. "I mean, leave a trail of Eddie's baby photos, and Buck will go anywhere."
"I don't blame him. I kinda want to see those photos too," Hen says.
Eddie sighs, getting up. "I gotta go,"
"Have fun!" Chim snorts.
Imagine Eddie kissing Buck first, Buck panicking and running away, and instead of being upset, Eddie rolls his eyes and calls Maddie or Chim and is just like, "I kissed Buck, expect him there shortly. Let him spiral a little, I'll give him 20 minutes before I pick him up."
i don't think eddie knows he treats buck as a spouse, and i think him realizing that may be crucial to eddie figuring it out.
in his failmarriage to shannon, they were apart more than they were together. shannon left because she felt eddie wasn't treating her like a spouse/partner. in his childhood, husband = provider, so that's what he did. i truly don't think he realizes that he has unintentionally cast buck into that spouse role in a way he never did shannon.
every person who has directly* called buck and eddie out has almost always called buck out. christmas elf, now tommy and maddie. but aside from that one bobby conversation about commitment with the obvious pause(*), no one has ever pushed eddie the same way. i think that is the key.
i think eddie knows he loves buck almost as much as christopher and no one else comes close. it's why eddie subconsciously pitted them against each other in 8x09 when no one asked him to. when buck would never ask him to.
but no one has ever mentioned how insane buck and eddie are to eddie, and i think that's the important for eddie. he doesn't know because he doesn't let himself see it. i think it is good for him to get distance from buck and realize how it just feels wrong. it's important that he realizes his happiest moments are when he, chris, and buck are together. i don't even think eddie realizes the only times he gets truly mad at buck are when he feels distance. he needs someone to help him see the whole picture. where buck denies it because he is scared and refuses to look at it, i think (after some introspection) eddie would accept it much easier than buck. which is why we have seen it brought up to buck in canon already, but no one has said anything to eddie yet.
