I wish it wasn't 102 degrees outside... I would go on a little walk and think about buddie

9-1-1 on the Rocks has survived its first shift, and unfortunately, Buck has already acquired significant workplace trauma.

This week on 9-1-1 on the Rocks, we’re covering 1x02, “Let Go,” an episode about all the ways people try to hold on when everything around them is falling apart. Buck learns that wanting to save someone doesn’t mean he can, Abby welcomes the relentlessly competent Carla Price into her home and immediately recruits her as a best friend and romantic adviser, and Athena tries to keep her family functioning while Michael’s revelation continues to crack it open.

Also on this episode:

Buck’s first devastating loss on the job and why “I will not let you go” tells us almost everything we need to know about him.

Season one’s startlingly dark discussions of suicide, grief, isolation, and the limits of what first responders can protect people from.

Angela Bassett delivering a performance so raw it changes the temperature of the entire show.

It’s heavy. It’s messy. Carla is already running the place, and Buck Buckley has officially begun collecting trauma like it’s part of his LAFD benefits package.

xoxo, Fandom on the Rocks

The 9-1-1 fandom on TikTok will call Eddie and other characters every racist name imaginable. They'll say they don't deserve Buck, that they're not good friends, and every other awful thing. Then they'll turn around and post Buddie edits.

You said Eddie is a bad, violent person, so why are you shipping him with your favorite character? Is he only here to be part of your ship, stay quiet, and never have his own reactions?

In the end, you're only exposing your own racism, because you're always attacking Eddie, Chimney, and Hen. You seem to have a problem with anyone who isn't white enough

can we get more fics on eddie and him being a soldier?

like with jack abbot fics we get so many references, mentions, or in details on him being in, aftermath of being, and before the military

and like i get why. all we get with eddie and his military past is 'he has a sliver star' and 'he was a hero for saving all his friends and being brave while being underfire.' compare to abbot who deadass is proud and loud about being a vet

and like either the writers just toss this lore on eddie and decide to just not doing anything about it, or eddie is one of those vets who isn't exactly proud and loud about serving. he's the opposite. he doesn't want to remember the shit he went through or had to do cuz he was following orders. he likes the man he became after the military. which in my opinion kinda shows this

which deadass i like that idea for him in fics cuz there's so many juicy angsty or angst/comfort or domestic/cutesy stuff that can be written from it. like:

• eddie going to a va clinic for a checkup/doctor appt

• eddie talking with other vets he met and bonding over a few drinks or out and about while doing errands or an outdoor event

• eddie having sudden nightmares after a certain job or life incident (doesnt have to be major) and he's not sure why there happening again. but it left him zoning out while on duty and having convs with fam/friends, a little delusional like he's hearing shit that isnt there, sleep deprived cuz he doesn't want to relive it and he wants to keep himself busy, jumpy by the slightest noise and i mean like he getting up and ready to throw hands if someone claps their hand, self isolated and quiet aka he pretending nothing is wrong

• 911 fam paintball event and eddie is just killing it cuz his training is kicking back in but he's a tad rusty or eddie just drops lore that he does this every week or twice/once a month with a couple vets he met a while back and thats why he's wreckin everyone

• the classic soldier coming home, surprising his family and kids. yeah i just think this would be so cute with the diaz-buckley fam w/ or wo/ theo and simply a juicy plotline with buddie

• buck asking eddie why he doesn't have one of those vet stickers on the back of his car or vets caps, and eddie is like 'i do not want people to keep coming up to me or honking at me and thanking me for my services' not only does it slightly annoys eddie cuz some folks be doin it at the wrong/weirdest moments but also he doesnt feel like he should be thanks (just to drop a bit of angst☺️)

tagging u bro, @buddieswitness , cuz i think u might like sum of these ideas

Summary:

“I blame gravity. Or you,” Tommy blurts out, even though he really shouldn’t try to flirt while he’s tired, hungry and on the job.

“Hey, you ran into me! 10/10, would catch you again,” his counterpart delivers in a very flirty voice.

Tommy grins at him and does his best to match the teasing tone. “I might take you up on that.”

But the other man frowns ever so slightly, tilting his head like a confused puppy. Shit, maybe Tommy misread him and the guy always sounds like that. For a long beat they stand in silence, looking at each other, and neither of them seems to know what to do.

“So how did you get the fire under control so quickly?” Tommy finally asks, because he needs to say something to move past this awkward moment.

The cute guy grins at him once again, snaps his fingers and whispers: “Magic.”

Main Themes:

Personal headcanon:

Buck in season 1 thought he was a sex addict because he was touch-starved.

Think about it, he was a guy in his mid-twenties who hadn't had a close relationship since his sister left several years ago. He'd never had a serious girlfriend. He'd been at the 118 for less than a year, so that "family" dynamic hadn't properly settled in yet. All his roommates/friends were probably guys around his age, and guys that age are generally socially discouraged to from being touchy with each other. How often would this guy get a hug? Rarely, if ever.

The one form of physical touch he could rely on was his hook-ups. He thought he was a sex addict because he was driven to risky behaviors to get these hook-ups, but it wasn't the sex he was craving. He obviously wasn't a sex addict, as he never displays this behavior again. He goes through some quite long periods of celibacy, and though he sometimes expresses loneliness, he never resorts to hook-ups again, and is only rarely shown engaging in casual sex of any kind.

I believe that this is because, when he's single, his need for touch is fulfilled by Maddie, the 118, and specifically Eddie. We are shown that Buck and Eddie are comfortable with casual touches and hugs, and this regular contact keeps him from reaching the level of skin hunger that led him to believe he was a sex addict in early season one.
