For the @sambuckylibrary TFATWS Anniversary Event 2024
Week 5: No Powers Au
Here are some fic recs! There are so many wonderful fics out there, so these are just a small sampling from the tag. (I thought it was a more productive use of my time while at work today 🤫) Pretty sure I've recommended some of these before.
Apologies for my terrible summaries!

Will also shamelessly plug a few of my favorite writers; their No Powers AUs always hit right, so please peruse their catalogs:
I need a Sambucky fic from Steve’s pov, and it has to be one of two things: either Steve is really oblivious to them dating and just happy that his two best friends are finally getting along or he’s fully aware that they are crushing on each other and just in constant frustration because they are so obvious while being so oblivious to each and it’s pissing him off, he’s third wheeling a couple that aren’t even dating yet, he’s so close to locking them in a room together until they get their shit together.
If you have any recs, that would be greatly appreciated or if you want to write one that would be great too.
This is the first post in a series of three four about Eddie’s house on 9-1-1.
part two, part three, part four | Buck’s loft
Okay! So! I’m a bit of an architecture and interior design enthusiast, which means I’m constantly paying too much attention to the living quarters of characters in shows I’m obsessed with. I decided to put that to use and make up a floor plan for Eddie’s house and got a bit carried away. Anyway, a-thousand-something screenshots and three weeks of effort later, we have what I would normally make just one long post but is instead a series of three posts, because of the tumblr image limit.
Also, sorry in advance if this is just way too much information. I figured, since I’ve got it in my brain, I might as well put it in the post.
Anyway, here’s the floor plan as a whole. I’m going to focus on each individual room in later sections of the post. This section kind of covers the house in general.
“this was his feelings realization” “this was bucks ‘oh.’ moment” nonono he is being crushed by his reality in ways he cannot even begin to grasp rn. his entire world is crumbling. all he knows is eddie is going to texas and his heart and mind are both blowing up in slow motion. no. first, buck buckley is going to go absolutely fucking chernobyl. he will tear this whole place down. and make a series of decisions so baffling it will actually force him to look inwards. and so then he will go “wow. is there a reason i was being Absolutely Fucking Bonkers Insane about all this?” and THEN he will realize.
buck is literally the only guy ever he brought a corpse to decorate the station for children, screamed like a lunatic when he realized it was a real person, immediately went on a research dive about said dead guy, slipped and fell right after talking about dumb injuries, got laughed at when he ranted about being cursed and then made up a full eulogy to recite at the guy's gravestone, wearing a full suit. how isn't everyone in a 20 mile radius head over heels in love with this guy
[Buck was quick to volunteer to help him find a place, but he’s got to be devastated. Take us into his head.]
Tim Minear: Oh, I think there are fire alarms going off in his head right now. You can see it in Oliver’s performance, too. As soon as Eddie turns his back, Buck looks like he’s been hit in the head with a baseball bat, and that will figure in mightily when we come back.
Trans Regulus who wasn't able to transition until after Hogwarts and when he finally was able to move out. So no one in Hogwarts saw him after T. He attends a school reunion with James, no one recognizes him, and he acts as if he's never been to Hogwarts before and that James just snagged a hot French husband after graduation.
top five most important things you can give a character. 1. bisexuality. 2. autism. 3. so much negative rizz it loops around into irresistibility. 4. so many bad events. 5. a coping mechanism that’s cute and silly provided you don’t think about it too hard
