Merlin RVBB 2026

I had the pleasure to work with @kacchansclotpole on Internal Conflict for this year @bbcmerlin-reversebang! I'm so excited about the fic that have been created from my art, please go read it!!

[sherlocking-out-loud]

Are you seriously implying Tommy is/has been more supportive to Buck than the 118? His found family? What show are you watching lol

the s9's 118 vs Tommy???? I'm not implying, I'm very openly STATING IT.

[v88sy]

Ah, yes. Chimney that's always berating him and "making jokes" at his expense. Even when trying to discipline someone else entirely, he can't help but use Buck as a marker on how to be wreckless and stupid. I used to love Chimney as one of my favorite characters, but it really seems like their friendship has devolved. Now Buck is just his wife's annoying little brother.

Oh, do you mean Hen and Eddie, who spent an entire breakfast bitching about how annoying it was that Buck kept trying to check in on them and give them grief assessments?

Or maybe you're just thinking of Hen, who went on an entire tirade about how no one asked her how she was doing, right in front of Buck, who had tried to be nothing but supportive to her. (See above.)

Or perhaps you're talking about Eddie, who's shoved him, yelled at him, called him selfish, and outright stated that he was wishing for Buck's death during a fight. (Take it from me, those types of words stick with you, even if the person is lashing out and "doesn't mean it" in the moment.)

Ah yes, the "found family" that does nothing but laugh at Buck instead of with him.

[peppermintquartz]

Anon are you okay? Are you okay, Anon?

Because if your family (birth or found) keeps making jokes at your expense, wave aside your achievements, put down your interests, ignore your grief, resent your outreach, intimidate you into behaving how they prefer...

that ain't family.

you can find better people to be family.

Ask for bucktommy dry humping thoughts and ye shall receive 🙂‍↕️

Earlyish days of their relationship, they're having a truly filthy makeout on the couch, Tommy's heavy body perfectly blanketing Buck, pressing him into the couch cushions, and Tommy's leg is thick and warm against his dick, and Buck's dragging his fingers through Tommy's chest hair as he gropes Tommy's tits under his shirt, and their shifts have been misaligned they haven't seen each other in a little bit Buck is sososo pent up and it all feels so good being completely surrounded by tommy and then Tommy's fingers catch and tug sharp in his hair by accident and Buck is done for. He comes and hopes that tommy doesn't notice bc wow that was embarrassingly quick but he can't keep the whimpers in as tommy continues to roll his hips down against Buck, a slow and dirty grind.

Tommy of course notices Buck's hips jerking and then Buck's whines get more frequent and stuttery and he finally pulls his mouth away from Buck's body to glance down and he sees the growing wet patch soaking through Buck's pants and Tommy has to close his eyes for a minute so he doesn't follow buck over the edge bc fuuuccckkk that's so hot. While Tommy's holding back his own orgasm by his fingertips, he unintentionally clenches his hands, the one in Buck's hair yanking once more and ohhhh that got a fun reaction.

Buck is simultaneously in Heaven and Hell. The oversensitivity is so much but when Tommy tries to do the polite thing and shift his weight Buck yanks him back down, tells him to stay exactly where he is keep going pleasepleaseplease, he's so sensitive it hurts but it feels so good

Tommy, of course, obliges. He restarts the grind of his hips, keeps the pace consistent but the pressure lighter than before no matter how much Buck jerks beneath him or begs tommy to go faster. Tommy very much clocked Bucks reaction to the hair tug, how he's going a little insane for the constant pleasurepainpleasure of overstimulation, and wants to drag this out to explore what else gets those reactions. A pinch to a nipple, nails dragging over skin, little nips and harder bites, etc.

By the time Buck finally comes a second time he is truly a mess, they're both covered in sweat, his groin is soaked, there's tears leaking from his eyes, he thinks he's probably drooling a bit as well. Seeing Buck look so debauched and blissed out and tommy knowing that *he's* the one that made him look like that is the final straw before tommy's also coming in his pants hard enough to see stars.

Tommy fully slumps on top of Buck and they both lay there trying to catch their breath until the mess becomes unbearable and they take a much needed shower where Buck decides turnabout is fair play and sees how long it takes to get Tommy hard again 💖

10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU (1999) dir. Gil Junger

[dharmaavocado]

for the fic title game: “and time just stops ticking”

Oh, you know I'm doing some weird magical bullshit with this one.  Now usually I stick Tommy in the torment nexus (if not meant to go in the torment nexus why torment nexus shaped?), but let's give Buck a go around this time.

There is only so much weight Los Angeles can hold (only so many catastrophes and emergencies and death) and when another one occurs, time fractures and Buck fractures along with it.

He is living in Buck Actually and Buck Begins and Buck Bothered and Bewildered and Mother's Boy and he is pulling people (and bodies) out of the rubble.  He's living it for the first time and then again ("I'm not supposed to be here," he tells Bonnie.  "He's waiting for me.").  He is sitting with Mitchell and Tommy is kissing him in the loft kitchen and he is trying to lift the tank off Saleh and he is writhing on the floor and begging it to stop please stop. And then it's always the same: he goes home, alone.

And then there's hands on him and he's being pulled up and out and he's back where he's supposed to be.  "What happened?" Chimney asks as Hen shines a light in his eyes.  "You went catatonic."

"I'm fine," Buck says, and he is.  All of that already happened.  He made it out.  He's going home, alone.

It's dawn by the time they're relieved, and then it's even later when he leaves the 118 (arguing that he doesn't need to go to the hospital he's fine), and it's nearly noon when Tommy, exhaustion dogging his heels, walks out of Harbor to see Buck leaning against his truck.

"Do you want to come home with me?" Buck asks.  "We can talk."

"I'd like that," Tommy said, and he holds out a hand for Buck to take, and they go home.

Part 2 of this

[mintedwitcher]

That's what bothers me too. They just don't want to make time for personal stories even though that's what made everyone fall in love with the show and the characters. There are enough random procedurals, that's not what made 911 special. They used to give bobby and athena multiple separate stories plus grand romantic gestures as bathena. Where did that time go? If chim/kenny obviously doesn't want to be the leading man, why can't they let buck/oliver take over? He gets to cook like bobby and that's it?

Don't get me wrong I love seeing him in promo interviews but they're just using him. That poor man doesn't even get a story of his own anymore. And they used to be the best, we still talk about the tsunami and the lawsuit and the lightning strike and bi buck today. They still inspire fics too lol while the new eps are giving nothing.

yeah exactly, they've lost the soul of the show

abandoning the individual storylines just makes it worse because now what is there to care about with these characters?

[curlyboys]

i'm having some thoughts on the baffling lack of individual storylines and poor characterisations so bear with me while i untangle the mess..

everyone was so excited about the move to a new network - it started out so hopeful with finally letting Buck be bi! but the individual storylines since the move has been 90% soap opera trash out of left field for shock value with little regard for continuity and with little to no follow through and what they do follow through on they end up botching.

okay: i do think they did a decent job of Mara's storyline and Henren's family, but it still had the problem of siloing Hen into her family unit outside of work - which has been a problem for every character since season 7:

the 118 has work scenes together, then everyone shuffles off to their family units where they eat a meal and talk, with little to no overlap (let alone intertwining B-plot) except to have someone over for dinner or a coffee, probably while someone does housework or parent the kids in the background, and there's some *drama* which is addressed, like.. huh? i know parenting and kids is an element of their lives and we do need drama in the drama show, but: what happened to actual slice of life scenes? yeah we got some Madney and Henren overlap in s8 but it was: let's have dinner while worrying about Mara.

what happened to the fun side quests????

(i'm not even talking about full filler eps like Treasure Hunt - by omg i miss full filler eps; thankfuck we had Masks but it was still mired in unnecessary shock-value angst for Henren - i just mean all the filler stuff in people's lives that fill them out as people and not just work-and-relationship dolls.)

they took away the fun outside-work interactions but they also refused to let anyone have a fucking personality: no one has any hobbies or fun outings (this is one reason i miss chris!! because we got variable plot and fun outings etc etc!!), there's no surface-level fun friendship stuff (unless it's poking fun of Buck at work) it's just all work and familyORromantic relationships (Masks was a rare welcome gem but again: still not enough) and deep-n-meaningful convos that are then brushed aside while the interesting threads of those characters are ignored.

and we should have seen a lot more Bucktommy in s7/s8 but we barely got any. they introduce this amazing new relationship and dynamic!! and hen.. don't explore it all? [*insert Gru's plane meme*] then they rope Buck into other people's drama instead of letting him have his own rich storyline.

there are sooooo many good dropped storylines - this post would get too long to name them all..

s8 was fumble after fumble: gerrard and ortiz were set up for season-long baddies but instead we got redeemed (*GAG*) gerrard who was also made a goofy old bastard?? and ortiz done away in like ep4 or something?? and instead of exploring Bucktommy and Tommy's character and have them work scenes together (even if Harbor was out of the budget location-wise) and show Tommy's friendships with the rest of the 118, we get a breakup (triggered by reasons that go against canon) and then 2 seasons of a guy pining through baked goods and then some damaging bisexual rep. that's it.

s9 ignoring Buck's grief bc they wanted to introduce *new drama* for Hen. focusing on Harry instead of focusing on Ravi. Buck's absent career progression.

—and that's not even touching on everyone else's characterisation (Maddie's kidnap thing was insane, unnecessary, and obviously done bc they've written her as someone who just works and folds laundry and has no personality for 3 seasons so let's make her the victim of traumatic violence again ig? Eddie's doppleganger was stupid af, his texas move was interesting but again fumbles when he returned to the team to shoehorn in heroics that belittle and overshadow others - and that's just s8 stuff).

..i could go on. my key takeaways of the last 3 seasons are these:

they've lost the magic of writing ensemble storylines

they've forgotten how to write interesting individual storylines

they silo characters into family units outside work

they drop interesting plot points like hot potatoes

they ignore canon events

they ignore characterisation / write ooc scenes/plot

no one has any real personality, everyone feels like a puppet

they shoehorn shock-value plots in for "entertainment"

they ignore everything that made this show so loveable

i think the general fan sentiment towards 911 lately seems to be:

*gonna remind folks that i'm not watching this season, i'm absorbing through dash osmosis, so i may have missed some good things re:plot + character bits so feel free to add those and point out the ways the writers have actually managed to harness some of that older seasons goodness bc we all need a little hope in these trying times 🫶

Tommy who left the LAFD after the explosion and got a settlement when it was proved that Gerrard endangered him

He decides to leave LA altogether and buy some land just want to enjoy early retirement

He hears about a local farmer having gay sheep who don’t mate and hes looking for either somebody to take them or a slaughterhouse

Tommy takes them in even tho he has no stable, no food for them, nothing

It takes him a few days to put something together

And months later he has 6 sheep, 2 old cows and three retired breeding dogs when Buck knock on his door looking for work after being a ranch hand and looking for something smaller and he heard of Tommy taking old or animals that are judged “different” and he wants to help

Tommy can’t say no
