honestly “i don’t have to want to sleep with everyone i have feelings for and I don’t have to have feelings for everyone I sleep with“ still keeps me up at night bc actually what the f*ck was that

Fanfiction: Okay but what if they went to IKEA and fought over furniture instead?

so you’re telling me that evan “born for spare parts, has always had too much love to give, want to fix and take care of everyone“ buckley and eddie “man of the house, doesn’t know how to be emotional, ask for love and accept care“ diaz aren’t meant for each other? i don’t believe you

Pros of re-reading your own fic

a good time;

Has exactly the tropes you like and the characterization you want to read;

Gratification: yes you did finish a thing and yes you did do good;

just a very fun time all around.

Cons of re-reading your own fic:

Is that another TYpO

Becoming a writer is great because now you have a hobby that haunts you whenever you don’t have time to do it

[pheonixvatoreii]

I don't haunt the narrative - the narrative haunts me

[rowanisawriter]

YOU can write whatever you want whenever however forevrr. i have to write something perfect and earth shattering and i have to do it perfectly the first time or else

i love the way eddie said “i’m straight” and the priest said “i see you have a longstanding habit of denying yourself joy”

[knownqueerbaiter]

eddie starting at a new firehouse in el paso and he’s texting buck at work and a new coworker asks who he’s talking to and he goes “oh, just my partner” absentmindedly and they go “nice! how long have you been together?” and he means to correct them but panics and says “about six years” instead

[knownqueerbaiter]

bonus points: it spirals into a bigger and bigger mess of lies by omission/careful phrasing

coworker: so you’ve been together six years, but he didn’t move out here with you?

eddie: ah, well, we weren’t sure the move would be permanent, so we’re kind of keeping one foot in LA until my son decides what he wants to do

[knownqueerbaiter]

coworker: it must have been tricky dating as a single parent. are he and your son close?

eddie: honestly, how good he is with christopher is a big part of the reason i love him so much. he completely stepped up from the day they met without even being asked

coworker: aww :)

[knownqueerbaiter]

this of course culminates with buck surprise-visiting eddie’s new firehouse, when eddie immediately panic-hugs him in front of everyone so he can whisper into buck’s ear “they think you’re my boyfriend, i’ll explain later, please just go with it” and buck takes 0.2 seconds to process before loudly going “hi sweetheart, i missed you so much!” and keeping his arm around eddie the whole time as he meets everyone

forever thinking about how eddie says “i’m broken“ and buck says “i know i‘m the guy that always wants to fix things“ and kim says to eddie “you have more to give than you think anyone can take“ while taylor says to buck “god you’re so needy“
