You remember that time I wrote a #buddie fic about Buck and Eddie dancing around in their underwear and doing couch Karaoke to a few classic rock songs? Including a cameo by a certain Barry White Song…

Sideways Volume 2 - In Another Life

Waking up in the hospital is never easy, but waking up and finding the love of your life in a coma, well, that’s a nightmare. As Buck fights for his life and has the mother of all nightmares, Eddie faces a series of different battles as he deals with the fallout of their hiding their relationship from Bobby and the rest of the 118. Tensions flare when the Buckley parents arrive at the hospital, and Eddie starts to learn what it really means to be part of a family that loves and supports you unconditionally.

Sideways Volume 1 - In A Flash

After learning that Buck’s donation was successful, Eddie Diaz makes a choice. For once in his life, Eddie Diaz is going to go after something he wants for himself, Buck. Buck needs to know how he feels; no more hiding or pretending; it’s time to lay it on the line. Eddie knows things between them would be amazing, that the love and affection are there. What he is unsure of is how the rest of his and Buck’s families will react. But some things are worth the risk. Little does he know that his choice will kickstart a series of events that will change their lives forever. As a storm builds, confessions are made, and love blooms just before things go Sideways!

Hi all,

Thanksgiving marks three years since I started writing Sideways. You can probably tell by the big Thanksgiving sequence that happens in the first arc of the story.

Anyway, I've been working on quite a few different things regarding Sideways… I'm not going to spoil everything, but one of the things that I've spent time over the last few months doing is rereading the entire story from beginning to end… a few times, actually.

One of these rereads was my first draft; another was the fully unedited version that still has all the deleted scenes; and the final read was what I actually posted on AO3.

One of the things that I've noticed regarding what I've posted to AO3 is that there are some errors. Nothing to do with the story, these are formatting, grammar, and spelling errors, things like that.   

As somebody who dedicates a lot of time to this, I cannot explain to you how frustrated that made me, that simple things like commas, apostrophes, or words that weren't properly plural drove me nuts. I'm not saying I'm the best writer in the world because I'm far from it.

But I've read and reread these things dozens of times before they went up on AO3. The thing is, you become blind to glaring mistakes you keep looking at over and over again.

I'm happy to say that I have a few beta readers who have joined me on this little journey I'm going on, and they have been helping me reread and have helped point out some of those things that were staring me right in the face that I just didn't see.

So, I have done a bit of polishing on everything that has been posted to AO3. There are NO new story elements… this is strictly about cleaning up issues where things are spelled incorrectly, there are grammar errors, there are blocky areas of text where line breaks should have been, or a sentence just didn't read the way it should have.

One last thing I added are visuals for the text messages.  There will no longer be just blocks of text messages. It's now been digitized into photos, basically screenshots of the text message conversations. There is some fun in there with the images I used for display icons for some of the characters.

Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be pushing the polished versions of each arc onto AO3. Followed by the posting of the next arc.   

Once again, thank you to everyone who has read any of my works!

Sideways - Wes Begins

Hi all,

I'm back with another update.

I should have posted this last month, but I was a little busy.

For those who read my Sideways series, I have started posted the newest arc... Wes Begins

As of today, 6 of the 11 chapters will have been posted. It is a meaty addition to the story. Wes' back story is heavy. It is not all heavy to read, but there are a lot of heavy moments when he is a kid. So please read with caution and mind the tags.

Chapter 6 marks the turning point in the story when Cole is introduced to Wes, and in typical fashion, the man is oblivious.

I have had a few people ask me what actors Cole and Wes would look like, and honestly, I don't have any that I can think of.

However, I do have reference photos that are close to my mental picture of them.

I have shared these before, but I am happy to share again.

This is very close to how I see Wes. The build, the body type, the hair, the scruff—all of it—is very Wes. The only thing missing is the tattoos. Wes does also have piercings, but they were removed for a mission. More on that later in the story.

Wes

Now, on to Cole...

I have shared a few other likenesses of Cole, but this one is the closest I have found.

Cole is huge—think Alan Richson from Reacher. Like with Wes, Cole has tattoos as well. He also occasionally wears glasses when his contacts bother him.

Cole

To the person who asked about Cole's arm sleeve tattoo... picture something like this going from his right wrist up his arm and covering part of his pec...

Now, for the rest of Sideways... Things will shift back to the main story after Wes' Begins... It will pick right up with the rest of the vacation and cruise storyline.

Buck and Eddie will discuss some of the things they learn about Wes's past and how it affects them. Make sure to subscribe to the entire Sideways work to the kept undated.

As far as what else I have been cooking up...

Please check out Something...

Set a year in the future, Eddie Diaz reflects on his time in El Paso and the events that triggered his return to LA. As he works through his conflicting feelings and tries to figure out why Buck has been pulling away from him, his best friend reveals a hidden truth that rocks Eddie's world.

It's smutty, angry, getting together #buddie fic that I had a lot of fun with

You can also check out

Relationship Goals

It's a fun and smutty one-shot where Buck and Eddie join a hockey team to rebuild their friendship after Eddie has flashbacks of the shooting. Special cameos from Wes and Cole!

Now that I am back in the swing of things, I am also going to start finishing up the unfinished work I started last year...

Lost to come! Stay tuned for more!
