hi my name is effie! | 24 | uk based | 911 obsessed |

[strangertaylor]

Im sorry to inflict trauma yet again but I think the 118 firehouse burning down would make a pretty good season opener.

[fantasylover145]

Honestly, 911 and 911 Lonestar keep borrowing storylines. Characters in both shows have been struck by lightning, both shows have characters battling addiction, both had main characters get shot, both shows had characters surviving/fighting cancer. If they burn down the firehouse, it would be them just reusing that storyline from 911 Lonestar.🤣🤣

It would definitely be a good season opener tho 🤣

[strangertaylor]

I can’t believe this I never finished lone star I didn’t know it happened 😂

Here’s what I want:

- the ep opens to Bobby in civies looking up at what is obviously a fire (of screen) the sound is kind of muffled but you hear sirens and see fire engines pulling up behind him. As the crew suit up and run towards the building, the camera follows them and pans around to show the 118 firehouse ablaze

9-1-1: What’s your emergency?

cut screen to 48 hours earlier.

- there’s the general hubub of storyline, and it’s not until the second half of the ep that things kick off, and (for whatever reason) the fire happens.

- Hen and Chim end up trapped somewhere together (I think it’s probs Hen that’s hurt)

- Buck is trapped in the showers, and there’s water spraying and pooling around him (maybe he notices he’s injured from the blood in the water?)

- Eddie is nowhere to be found

- We get some crazy amount of action of them trying to get out, Bobby trying to save them and Athena holding him back, Bobby says the line “My boy is in there.”

- Bobby is not on active duty for whatever reason

- Buck is fighting for his life trying to find Eddie (as per)

- We get a cripplingly sad montage with the song Till Forever Falls Apart. this is a non negotiable this song is so 911 coded it’s not even funny. maybe even with flashbacks if they rlly wanna hurt us

- they all get out except Eddie

- Eddie is eventually saved, but has to be put on life support, has 2nd and 3rd degree burns etc.

- Bobby holds Buck as they put Eddie in the ambulance, Buck tells him “I’m not ready to be a dad”

- Bobby says “you don’t have to be ready, you just have to be.

If this is at all what the lone star ep is like i will literally fly to america and apologise to the show runners for plagiarising their work but this is what I want.

Bonus: the following eps, Eddie does not bounce back in normal 911 fashion, and Buck has to start picturing life without his partner.

Okay but I’m gonna need outsider pov fics of the house viewings stat bc that was absolutely fuel to the fire of #thosetwofirefighters

just imagine this gay couple showing you round their house and one of them accidentally keeps pointing out flaws? Comedy gold.

i’ve had just enough time

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Eddie unlocks the phone with face ID, and heads straight to the camera to uncover a folder with more photos of that day, and the day before that, and the day before that. Parties and outings and screenshots of memories long forgotten, four years of lost time. Swiping the other direction only hurts more - and checking the date of the most recent capture, a blurry photo of an unopened letter addressed to Evan Buckley at an unknown address, twists a knife inside of him. March 4th, 2035.

Eddie had forgotten the last ten years of his life.

-

Eddie Diaz falls in love, gets divorced, falls in love again, and finds out that time isn't linear.

or

Eddie has a coma dream

[strawberrricecream]

So we all agree that Eddie will most likely end Season 7 checked into rehab, with Buck exercising his duty as Christopher's legal guardian?

right?

[hollanovian]

so the only woman eddie’s ever really wanted is… an unattainable idolised illusion he created in his head?

[scottishaccentsareawesome]

Just waiting for the scene after Tommy tells Buck he loves him the night before, and Eddie basically told Buck he had feelings for him like right after that (when he stops by after Tommy leaves), so that morning Eddie is at the firehouse looking for Buck, since they are both on shift, and Tommy stops by the firehouse to see Buck, and they run into each other and it's getting a little passive-aggressive...meanwhile, Buck is hiding in Bobby's office (literally hiding, he's sitting on the floor in the corner, even though the door is closed and no one can see inside) breathing into a paper bag while Bobby and Chimney try to cam him down

[m3r1m4r5u333]

Someone else posted about this earlier and I agree so much, I need to say this too.

No... Eddie doesn't "indulge" Buck!!

Eddie matches his energy.

Eddie actively, eagerly instigates.

Eddie... is there to slap even MORE stupidity on the table!

They are both the instigators, troublemakers. They are equals. They are in sync!

Neither one is the "mature one", just humoring the other, babysitting, indulging.

They're both rearing to go, have fun, enjoy themselves.

When Buck is sad about Chimney missing the party? Suggest taking it to Chimney?

Eddie instantly launches into planning mode, into turning a vague plan into action, suggests everyone take an Uber to the hotel.

How does Buck react? Does he hesitate?

No, Buck immediately thinks this absolutely insane suggestion is a great idea!!

Buck has no key.

Eddie wants to kick in the door!!!

Buck? Happily joins him!!

They are the chaos, together!!!

Neither one is sitting back, indulging - they are a team, a shared (admittedly not super bright) brain.

And I love it!!! They're freaking soulmates, both equally silly, dumb, energetic, into fun, ready to meet the adventure. They're two sides of the same coin, together.

[strangertaylor]

I need someone to post clips ASAP

[radiantbuddie-deactivated202405]

the fact that tommy had to have seen all that soot on buck's face and he just let him walk in there like that

[poughkeepsiesjr]

oh they put EVERYBODYS pussy into that kiss

[scottishaccentsareawesome]

Of course soot would give away Buck’s bi relationship…it’s true Firefighter fashion

[bucksbisexual]

the intensity of that kiss yeah they're GAY

[strangertaylor]

Update on getting my (24f) ex/current coworker (28m) to watch 911:

Man laid down a £50 bet with £10 interest per year that buddie will never be cannon. (This means that every season that buddie is not cannon, I will owe him an extra £10 when the show ends BUT when buddie goes cannon he will owe me £50+(no. of seasons x 10))

We’re both up waiting for 1am and the streams to go live, I just sent him the preview of Tommy showing up at the stag do and he asked to cancel the bet.

Man has watched 6.5 seasons and one scene has shaken his straight confidence.

MAN APOLOGISED and said he would not question my screenwriting degree again.

Man is now rooting for buddie.

I turned him.

[letsbekidsagainithinkididitwrong]

The thing about Buck is that everyone wants a piece but nobody wants all of him, and the thing about Eddie is that he has a hard time wanting something with all of himself but that’s how much he wants Buck, and the thing about Buck is that he never knows what he wants or makes his own choices but he always chooses Eddie, and the thing about Eddie is that he only makes choices that are for the benefit of other people except he chose Buck for himself

[yramesoruniverse-deactivated202]

We're not talking enough about how Maddie's "wow..." was her finally putting 2 + 2 together about Eddie.

Their convo revealed that Maddie didn't actually know about Buck's bisexual inclinations. But his coming out to her was entirely incidental and completely beside the point, to Buck.

The entire conversation was framed around Buck's hyperfocus on Eddie.

Maddie knows her brother so well, knows his abandonment trauma, the well of grief and loss he carries around inside of him. One that they share, only he spent most of his life not knowing what it even was.

She knows Buck's yearning for a family of his own, his search for a partner, a great love story. How she would have witnessed Buck getting more and more deeply embedded in Eddie and Christopher's life. While his own romantic life was a mess, at best. How she might sometimes worry he could get hurt, his attachment to them holding him back in finding love for himself, that life partner he longs for. Ultimately, she does understand and leaves it be. Sure, what Buck has with Eddie and Chris is unusual, but they fulfill a longing and make him happy. That's all that matters to her.

But she's always had this slight...not doubt, exactly, but a wonder. That she's missing something. She knows Buck is utterly safe with Eddie, that Eddie is his best friend and would die to save Buck's life, so it's not that. It's just this nagging thought that there's something else there...just out of reach...she can't quite put her finger on it.

Buck being bisexual (excuse me, an ally), was that missing puzzle piece, finally slotting into place.

Long story short, "wow" = "Buck is in love with Eddie, it all makes sense now."

I just think this scene was so expertly written and performed, showcasing all of these layers of story at once. I 💜 911 and Oliver and JLH.

Please miss me with the "Maddie is going to acost Eddie and/or Buck about being in love with each other" takes, like this is a sitcom. The root of this is Maddie's deep, abiding, tender care for her brother and the profound, aching wound of abandonment and unresolved grief that they share. She is going to hold this knowledge so, so gently.
