Ray, 40-something she/her - Fandom old - Into all things writing - Here is my random conscious stream of thought regarding my obsession with all things 9-1-1. Credit to @wikiangela for the header
I am, first and foremost, a fanfic writing blog. Current fandom is 9-1-1, but I image The Pitt might continue making appearances. Previous fandoms were pre AO3, so good luck finding any of it.
I am a multishipper, and believe in ship and let ship. Most of my writing is BuckTommy, SalBuck or SalBuckTommy, but Abby will always hold a special place in my heart.
Here is a list of my current works, under the cut because it got long.
BuckTommy
I'm Where the Spiders Go (#IWtSG) - WIP
Tommy doesn't take the step to transfer to Harbor Station. Without a vacant spot at the 118, Buck is hired on to the 122 instead. How do things change without the influence of the 118 on Buck's early career, and how does Tommy handle remaining in the closet. Of course they meet a little earlier with the common connection of Sal Deluca.
Complete - Five times the 118 worries about how to tell Buck that Tommy got married, and one time they realized they didn't have to.
It's Temporary (And Other Lies They Tell You During Pregnancy) on AO3
A series of Novempreg ficlets - This may or may not get updated.
Don't Paint My Rainbow Grey (#DPMRG) - WIP
"Have you heard of the 'Grey Rock Response?'" Dr. Copeland had asked him during one of his solo sessions. When he'd shaken his head, she'd explained a little more. "It's not a long-term solution in a relationship, but it is a tool you can use in specific situations."
Buck feels like his whole life right now might be one of those situations.

SalBuck
We Forge the Changing Bells (#WFtCB) - WIP
Former Navy SEAL Evan "Buck" Buckley moves to LA and enrolls in the LAPD Academy, needing a way to help people and put his skills to good use. He can't bring himself to sit still, so he fills his off hours working at the badge and ladder bar he took a job at when he first came to town. He's been burying himself in work to hide from his demons. Sal Deluca is having the year from hell. He walks into Buck's bar after being fired from the 118. Instead of drinking himself into a stupor, the cute bartender gets him talking, and helps him turn his fortune around.

This isn't something they do often, or at all, if they're being honest. In the years that they've been together their presentations have been the least important thing to them. Buck is an omega, but that doesn't make him any less than Tommy and Sal just because they're alphas, no matter what other narrow minded people may think. All three of them are strong, capable firefighters, all three of them are equally smart in their own ways; they're evenly, perfectly matched. And Sal and Tommy have never treated Buck as lesser than them, even during his heats when he's out of his mind with hormones and it would be so easy to take advantage, they've never done anything that they hadn't agreed upon before the heat started. They always take the best care of him. And it's amazing, it's everything Buck ever wished for, but sometimes...
Sometimes he needed this. He needs the burn in his legs as he runs, stumbling over roots and rocks, branches and brambles catching on his clothes as he tears through the forest. He needs his heart to race and his lungs to ache. He needs to feel helpless. Hunted.
Ruts only come around once a year, far less often than a heat cycle. They usually spend that time holed up in Tommy's cabin in the mountains, far away from anyone or anything that could interrupt them. It's one of the few times Buck can convince them to really let go, to give in to the urges they fight down the rest of the year and let instinct take over.
This time he convinced them to agree to the chase.
Buck pants as his feet slide on a loose cropping of gravel by a stream and he falls, palms scraping in the grit. He forces himself up, splashing across the water into a close cluster of trees. He has to stop there for a moment, back pressed against the rough bark as he gulps in a lungful of air.
There's a howl in the distance and Buck grins. He had had a head start, made a false path. He can't believe it actually worked. He lets his head fall back, taking advantage of the small victory to rest and catch his breath.
A hand closes around throat and hot breath ghost over his face. He meets a pair of glowing red eyes and a victorious, predatory grin.
I once had an all expenses paid trip to Sao Paulo, Brazil. The government of Sao Paulo was trying to recruit foreign researchers to attract new talent. The only issue is the only people who seemed to be aware of this conference were people originally from Brazil.
Of the 100 or so individuals in attendance at this conference only four of us were non-natives.
I remember very little of the topics of the presentations, but it was related to the translation of lab based research to clinical trials. I myself had a poster on sumoylation as it related to Alzheimer's disease. Ultimately I had found nothing (which is why I dropped out of the PhD program and went on to pursue a successful career in nursing, among other reasons).
What I remember most about the trip, however, was the amazing cultural immersion we got. We had locals showing us the best restaurants, shopping, and nightlife. The food was amazing, and the people a lot of fun.
I have named my imposter syndrome "Greg" after a colleague I have no respect for (Greg is the one who thinks generative AI will solve all of our problems).
It makes it much easier to identify when my internal monologue is being stupid and tell it to fuck off.
"I'm not bad at creative pursuits, that's just Greg being an asshole. Fuck off Greg."
I don't need another WIP and this has probably been done before but:
Post breakup/hookup/etc... probably some time after Bobby's death, Buck's finally had it with everything at work and since he's learned the lesson after the truck bombing/lawsuit stuff, he goes to the union.
Where he meets Sal.
For this, I'm thinking Sal and Tommy have been out of touch for a few years actually. Probably because Tommy came out to him and Sal wasn't ready to consider his own issues so he was supportive in the moment but let them drift apart. Which Tommy took as him being uncomfortable and let him. (Which added to his issues, of course.)
So Sal knows nothing about Buck being involved with Tommy and Buck might bring up his ex but he's not going to say the T word so... when Buck and Sal become friendly then end up moving things to more than friends and way more than worker and union rep, neither of them suspect that connection. (Sal DOES get him another rep! He's not going to pull the same shit that's part of the reason Buck went to the union in the first place.)
(Also they do know the 118 connection obviously but Buck has told himself he's moved on which obviously when you've truly moved on it's totally normal to cautiously avoid saying your ex's name or suggesting your new boyfriend might have worked with him ten years ago.)
Things are good. Really good. Buck does still miss Tommy and think about him sometimes (he's not going to think about how many 'sometimes' is) but he's starting to think he can see a future with Sal. They're planning to but have not yet moved in together.
And then, of course, they're out together and run into Tommy.
It's SO many layers of uncomfortable.
Buck and Sal are holding hands and Buck would never drop Sal's hand because they ran into Tommy but oh god he's really wanting to drop Sal's hand but also to hold it tighter and raise his chin because fuck you, Tommy Kinard, afraid you couldn't be my last and you got your wish.
Sal's all too aware of how it looks to Tommy that he basically dropped Tommy as friend after Tommy came out to him and now here he is with a guy so he's ashamed of himself but he's not ashamed of Buck so he's not letting go of Buck's hand but he's also too consumed with his own worries about what Tommy thinks of him to notice the crisis Buck is going through.
Tommy's eyes just go to their linked hands and some part of him is just like, of course. Of absolute fucking course.
It's the most stilted conversation ever. "Hey" with seventeen levels of meaning and inflection. And of course Tommy is the one to bolt first, like his ass is on fire and water's a mile away.
In the wake of his leaving, Sal and Buck both turn to explain to the other and understanding dawns on them both.
Oh. Fuck.
And it's a couple of days of this whiplash feeling for both of them, just numbly processing.
And Buck is considering reaching out to Tommy but that feels weird but he thinks he should but that feels dishonest to Sal and he could tell Sal - he should! - but he's not sure how to explain why he thinks he should talk to Tommy so he just doesn't know how to bring it up.
Then Sal brings it up.
Sal needs to apologize to Tommy, explain his own shit, doesn't expect or feel he deserves forgiveness for ditching Tommy but Tommy deserves to know it was never his fault or about him, that Sal was a coward who couldn't handle Tommy being brave.
And Buck hears something in Sal's explanation. Something familiar because he knows it himself.
They don't just want to clear the air.
They want more.
They want Tommy.
Since Sal's made a new career of talking things out and hearing both sides, I think he and Buck are actually pretty good at communicating. Buck can run impulsive and Sal can still get his temper up but mostly only on someone else's behalf these days so they sometimes get a little snappish with one another but they get through it okay.
So they actual have a pretty damn mature conversation about this. About Tommy. About what they maybe want.
Both of them say they're good either way but, god, just acknowledging it makes the want get bigger and more insistent.
Just thinking about it and talking together makes them both envision it: how the three of them could be. They both start talking about the things they like and miss about Tommy and see how it doesn't impact what they enjoy about each other.
And admit that thinking about each other with Tommy is... pretty damn hot actually.
And then they just kind of groan because how they fuck could they EVER explain this to Tommy, let alone convince him?
Meanwhile Tommy is alone in the deepest pits of his own personal hell with no clue these conversations are happening. In his head they're probably laughing, clinking champagne glasses (oh fuck, he thinks. champagne.) because haha what a coincidence they'd both once been at all connected to Tommy Fucking Kinard, aren't they lucky he's past tense for both of them.
He's just absolutely emotionally decimating himself thinking about "don't have to have feelings with everyone I sleep with" and how once upon a stupid time he'd imagined telling Sal he was gay and telling him he'd had a crush on him forever. Doesn't it just figure the two guys he's been the most fucked up about are now together.
tagged recently by @corporatebanana, @rcmclachlan and @frogsinflannel. tagging you all back for next time, along with anyone else who has something to share. as with most things outside my usual, idk who to tag or not tag on a post like this so consider this me bigsing my eyes and asking to see what you're working on
well! let me share a story: i claimed a prompt at hj's prompt fest over on ao3 expecting to write something short and filthy featuring reverse age gap. howeverrrrr. i ended up thinking THOUGHTS and now i'm writing something LONG and filthy (and kinda sad) that i'm not sure find the fest vibe but which IS scratching my brain just right.
things you need to know: featuring married buddie in their 50s. fire captain buck, retired eddie, tommy who is 23 and just out of the army due to injury and is a) very unhappy, b) very obsessed with buck and eddie both c) very weird about his own desires
oh and this snippet is nsfw from like, the word go.
"Can I cum on your face?" Eddie asks, so polite about it. Tommy whines around his cock, and Eddie knows exactly what that means, pulls his dick out and gets his hand in Tommy's hair. He's been letting it grow out since the the second time he met Eddie, who remarked on his military posture and told him he didn't need to look like a jarhead anymore. He thinks they like it longer, and not just for the grip it affords them. When Evan realized there was a curl to Tommy's hair he'd tossed the three-in-one cheap shit Tommy had been using and introduced him to the world of a curl routine. It had made Tommy feel weird and young and cared about, but Evan coos about how cute it is, and Eddie likes to pull a curl straight and watch it spring back when they're lazing on the couch.
Right now, Eddie's not playing with his hair, just holding it, a tight grip that makes Tommy's eyes sting just right as he desperately keeps them open right until the last second. He can see Eddie's wedding ring shining as he strokes his cock, wet from Tommy's mouth, and if he really concentrates, he can convince himself he can feel Evan's too, where his hands are on Tommy's hips. Tommy takes Eddie's low, rough groan as his cue to close his eyes and feels Eddie's cum land on his face in several long, hot spurts. He wants to lick at what landed on his mouth but he knows they like the sight of him all messy, so he just blinks open his eyes and watches Eddie smile at him.
"There you are. Hey, beautiful. Do you mind if I show Buck a picture?"
Tommy shakes his head and groans when he feels Evan, who'd slowed down to help him present a nice, steady target for the facial start to fuck him harder, faster. Eddie snaps a picture on his phone, holds it out to Evan who groans and squeezes Tommy's hips harder. God, he hopes it leaves marks, hopes they press on them later when they make him cum.
"Fuck, you made him so pretty, babe," Evan grits out.
"He's always pretty," Eddie says, and holds the phone out to Tommy this time. He lets him look for a second, then lets him watch as Eddie deletes the picture. They're so much more fucking thoughtful than he wants them to be, sometimes.

Summary:
Tommy Kinard gave good parent.
He was charming, steady, made great first, second, and third impressions. Mothers liked him because he respected his partners and fathers liked him because he was a man's man. Even when he started dating men, he was good at meeting parents.
When he'd met Evan's parents, Margaret and Phillip Buckley, covered in soot and grime, they'd laughed at his jokes and shook his hand. They hid their surprise well, Tommy'd thought, and once the reception died down and people began to trickle out, they'd parted with fond goodbyes. Up until their breakup, Tommy and Phillip had been trading tips on pest control in their respective gardens, even though Tommy barely kept his. Philip had sent him a heartfelt text message when he'd gotten the news about the breakup, wishing him well with his beetle infestation.
Namaygoosisagagun First Nation/Collins has burned to the ground. The entire community is nothing but ashes after being quickly consumed by wildfires. They did not have any support from emergency services, and no one offered aid. The community saved themselves by escaping into boats because no one came.
Mishkeegogamang and Cat Lake have lost power. Families are ending up in shelters with nothing. Armstrong, Lac La Croix, Whitesand, Gull Bay, Lac des Mille Lacs are currently in the fires path and all members are being evacuated.
All this loss, all this devastation, and it was entirely preventable.
After steadily underfunding wildland firefighting and purposefully excluding Indigenous wildland firefighters and Indigenous wildfire organizations from wildfire operations, firefighter training, decisionmaking, and resource exchanges, in 2025, Doug Ford slashed the forest firefighting budget.
It's hard to ignore his decision to cut funding and leave us out of adequate fire training (even though we've lived with forest fires for thousands of years—far longer than settlers have been in Canada—and made sure fires like the ones we're all seeing today were prevented through kinisitotēn) when, despite making up less than 5% of the population, we account for 42% percent of all wildfire evacuations in Canada.
And when we are successfully evacuated, we face discrimination and racism—like Kashechewan—because it's always been easier to blame us than it is to blame the true culprit: denialism, corportate greed, and colonization.
The people of Collins and every other impacted community deserve better.
Right now, the AFN is currently accepting donations to help Collins First Nation. If you're able to, please consider donating.
ONWA (Ontario Native Women's Association) is another great place to donate to. They have outreach vans going to motels and inns and offering food, water, resources, and cultural support to those impacted by the wildfires.

Summary: Forty something Tommy Kinard dreams of returning to the sky, but the brass have tapped him to take over as captain of the 118, provided he proves he can play the part. He knows what's expected of him, and is committed to the right path.
Then he meets a young bartender who turns his world upside down.
Also know as the increasingly problematic age gap AU
tommy kinard's age: Or, let Buck bounce on that age gap, kids
So. Let's talk about Tommy Kinard's age. Because every time I see him listed as 40 in a current, modern day fic, I lose my mind a little.
Now, obviously , you can do whatever you what in a fic, and I know WHY people do this - some word of god + LFJ's age, with a side helping of That Other Shipper Fandom Doesn't Get to Call Tommy Old if He's Less Than Ten Years Older Than Buck.
However.
Buck is a grown man who canonically dated and changed his life for a woman who was 42 when he was 26 and does not need to be protected from getting his back blown out and his heart claimed by a hot older man.
So, "Tommy Was Born NO Early than 1980 and Is At least 46 in 2026: A Minor Thesis By Me."
First, we know a couple of things about his age from canon:
We know from "Chimney Begins" that Tommy was not a probie in 2005 when Chim joined. So he'd been there at least a year before that. For the sake of making him as young as possible, we will say that he has ONLY been there a year. We also knew that he "learned to fly" in the army.
So, that means:
He had to have joined the LAFD ~2004.
Had to have completed the necessary requirements for army pilots prior to that. For Army pilots joining prior to October 1, 2020, there was a 6 year service requirement after completing flight school.
To be a pilot, Tommy also had to be either a Commissioned Officer OR a Warrant Officer. Assuming he was not an officer, that means he had to complete all of the following before he could becoming a pilot: Army Basic Training, Warrant Officer Candidate School (WOCS), and Army helicopter flight school.
To make Tommy AS YOUNG AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE IN THIS TIMELINE: We'll also assume he joined the army at 17 with parental permission, which you can do because the USA is stupid and because his father seems like the sort - and also because we are going to make Tommy as YOUNG as he can possibly be in 2026 to prove my point:
Age 17: Graduates High school, Enlists in Army and does Basic Combat Training ~ 2.5 months
Age 17: Warrant Officer Candidate School ~1.5 months
Ages: 17–18 Army helicopter flight school (IERW) ~12 months (Can be up to 18 months, but we are making this the shortest timeline possible)
Ages 18–24: Aviation service obligation 6 years
Age 24: Leaves Army (Here, we give Tommy a LOT of assumptive grace. Getting into the LAFD Academy is hard, but we'll assume his officers wrote nice things or whatever and he got in right away.)
Age 24 :LAFD Academy: 22 weeks
AGe 24: Starts Probie Year
Age 25: "Chimney Begins" - has been with LAFD for at least a year. (in 2005)
SO, if he's 25 in 2005, that would make him born in 1980. In 2026, that that makes him no younger than 46. If he's born in 1980, that means he is 11 years older than Buck's 1991 birth year, which is fun and sexy if you aren't boring (and they are not.)
Notes:
Now, in truth, in a realistic timeline, Tommy would be older still.
He'd spent closer to 18 months in flight school and he probably had to take some time to apply/wait/join the LAFD academy, and maybe his parents weren't dicks and made him wait to 18 before he signed his life away to the military and/or maybe he gradated at the age of 18.
There's also issues with waiting for admission to WOCs and flight school.
And we have no IDEA how long he was in the LAFD before Chim came along
Honestly, 48 is more realistic and he could easily be celebrating his 50th birthday OR BEYOND. IF YOU AREN'T A COWARD.
BUT~ if you want him as young as possible, 46 is the bottom floor of what can be going on here in 2026. He can definitely be older, but he can't be younger and have the timeline make any sense.

Well hidden is my absolute obsession with Park the Shark. So...
Brendon Park is in LA for a medical conference. Maybe he's speaking on his research about bone grafts or something. It doesn't matter.
118 shows of for a call at the conference centre, and Buck can't help but notice how much one of thr doctors looks like Tommy. It's not him, obviously. The way he speaks and carries himself is too different. This man is... sharper.
Park catches the firefighter watching him and is... curious. He slips the man his card, room number written on the back, and goes back to his room once they're give the all clear.
He's half surprised the firefighter shows up, but it's quickly obvious that this man, Buck, is expecting him to be someone else. He's getting frustrated that he's not getting the responses from Park he expects, and it's putting a damper on things for Park.
"Who is he?" Park asks, sitting back on his heels, erection jutting out.
Buck licks his lips, looking from it to Park. "Who's who?"
"The man you're comparing me to," Park points out, like it's obvious. It is - painfully so.
Swallowing, Buck looks away before he grumbles. "My ex. You look just like him."
It gives Park an idea. "Unlock your phone."
Buck does without question and hands it over. Park opens the camera app, and before he starts recording, he shows Buck. "We're going to give him something to regret, then."
***
Across town, Tommy's woken up by a text message at 3 am. His phone is on do not disturb, but he's yet to remove Evan from the list of people who can bypass it.
