sorry but the idea of Maddie calling Eddie, after feeling so much relief at her husband’s survival and so much loss and sadness for Bobby and so much empathy for Athena and she’s pregnant and she spent all day thinking her husband was going to die and now this guiding light, this man who took care of Buck when she wasn’t there and who taught him the things her parents never did is dead and she has to call her little brother’s best friend, the guy who told Albert to join the army, and showed up to her wedding with her brother covered in puke and shirtless, and knew better than her what Buck needed post-lightning strike, the guy she thought it wouldn’t be so crazy if he was in love with, because she knows that none of the 118 can do it, but also no one else should do it either. Eddie deserves to hear it from someone he knows, from someone who loves all the same people he loves. And maybe Buck chokes it out. That someone needs to tell Eddie. Or maybe it’s Chim or Hen or Ravi or even Karen. But more likely to me is that Maddie gets there and she does the mom/older sibling thing of counting heads. And she knows it’ll be one less. That one of the people she looks for isn’t ever going to be counted again, but now there’s two missing. Another person who should be here isn’t. And it’s her little brother’s best friend and if she can’t take Buck’s or Chim’s or Athena’s or Hen’s or Ravi’s pain away, at least she can do this for them. And for Eddie.

no, actually i cant stop thinking about oliver saying the way he would make buddie canon is eddie realizes his feelings and tries to run away from buck and buck would be like why are you running dont be weird, because it implies oliver thinks buck already knows he has feelings for eddie and its ignoring them for eddies sake, but as soon as eddie realizes he would be on board. which is what we all think, but its nice to know the person that knows buck the best also thinks that way 😁

thinking about how Eddie and his parents argued about Chris and roots in s2 after Shannon's funeral — Eddie saying he didn't want to displace Chris and his parents saying Chris had spent 6 years in El Paso — and how this comes as a reverse parallel in s8. Chris had spent more than 6 years in L.A. by then and had been in El Paso less than a year but Eddie again says that he doesn't want to displace Chris, and moves to El Paso to avoid it. but this time the added element was Buck. Buck clashes with Eddie about him leaving but then helps him get to Chris in a way that Eddie never expected anyone to do. and Buck helped Eddie get to Chris again in the chess tournament with an honesty that nobody was giving Eddie. which makes Eddie's decision to bring Chris back to L.A. to cheer Buck up even more poignant because he wasn't doing it for any other reason, despite having plenty of reasons. Chris chose Eddie in El Paso but he also chose Buck in L.A. and that's the reason nobody would lose when it comes to choosing in the Buckley-Diaz dynamic. because while Eddie and Buck both choose Chris, Chris chooses to be there for both of them without either of them asking or expecting. wherever your roots are, the ties that matter are the ones you choose to be there for.

I wanna write a fic from tía Pepa's pov that's mostly just her at her book club meetings bragging about her nephew and his 'boybestfriend' Evancito because she is convinced they're secretly together and refusing to tell her. All of her friends are quite invested and eventually convince her to invite them over to come fix something during a meeting so they can all finally meet them. Obviously all the aunties are fawning at the pair of them and their kids (childcare is hard to find and they weren't expecting all Pepa's friends to be here so bought Chris and Theo along because they wouldn't be allowed rest if their boys found out they got some of her cooking and they didn't) and asking very invasive questions as aunties do and somehow that's how Eddie finally realises he's in love with Buck.

eddie watching theo while buck runs errands, chris is eating candy and theo asks if he can have some so chris says "i don't know, go ask my dad" so theo starts running looking for eddie and yelling "MY DAD, CAN I HAVE CANDY? MY DAAAAAAD" because that's what chris calls him!
