here u go a little bit of eddie if you want it 🫡

I see what you’re doing. You’re trying to get me to read your works page out of order. Well it’s working!

For the fanfic tropes, amnesia?

SOLID A (although I’ll caveat that I rarely comb through trope tags unless it’s hurt/comfort, I’m picky but I like to see my options) I will always read an amnesia fic rec. majorly my favorite part of this trope are when writers get silly with it. Of COURSE they’re married why else would my husband be acting like this. Or when a character has partial amnesia and is like their self 7 years ago and is like. I get to have this? ORRRR when they hide it for no reason and are like I’m totally fine haha. By the way what did we do yesterday for no reason at all. DELIGHTFUL TROPE

Oh my goodness the OPTIONS of this! I hope it helps break through the block:

hi dee!! so this has nothing to do with what im writing below but my mom used to be a photo organizer for years and years and the amount of stuff we have in our house specifically for digitizing pictures is insane so i actually have this written in my wip doc idea tab

because i had this idea buck could like. work through his family trauma by going through other people's pictures idk. anyway.

🚜 - write something completely unrelated to any of the WIPs but related to the emoji the tractor dropped off.

"Out with it."

Buck blinks out of his couch-doze to Eddie standing in front of him with his hands on his hips. He's wearing his house shirt and the jeans that fit loose and low on his hips, which means there's just the slightest sliver of skin that shows when he has his shoulders set like this. Eddie's hands sit right above it. If Buck reached out he could fold his fingers against Eddie's and feel the heat of his core at the same time.

He blinks again, harder. Maybe he should have protested harder when the boys insisted on a second movie. Couch naps are dangerous.

Reaching back, he starts to massage the massive crick out of his neck. "The boys in bed?" he asks, even though he can hear them from Chris' room down the hall, possibly in bed but definitely not asleep.

Eddie raises an eyebrow.

"Buck."

"What?"

"Theo said he slept 'sooooo soundy'"—Eddie actually does air quotes, which would be hilarious if he weren't interrogating him—"last night. When I asked him why he said it's because you turned off your motorcycle mouth. Did you sleep at all?”

Buck drags a hand down his face to cover his involuntary grimace. Betrayed. “I caught a few hours around three?”

The cushions on Eddie's couch must have him pavlov'd. He remembers finishing his pizza, setting down his plate…then nothing until Theo shook him awake to beg to watch another movie with Chris, which he agreed to and then went immediately back to snooze town.

The weak spot in the hardwood floor creaks as Eddie slides between Buck's knees and the coffee table to sit down across from the couch. He nudges Buck’s feet until he shoves himself upright on his cushion, inconveniently aligning their legs so Eddie’s bent knees are a hairs breadth away from knocking into Buck’s. If he shifts again, fidgets casually, they’d touch.

Wrong rabbit hole. Eddie’s looking at him expectantly.

“Theo was talking about…um, this trip he took with Connor and Kameron, just before they moved back here. He got a little upset about it.” Not in so many words, but he’d babbled about going to see the ‘biiiiiig trees and it was soooo hot and Mommy had to put a band-aid on my knee!’ and then Buck had been occupied by preventing a meltdown when Theo realized his mom would never put a Thomas the Tank Engine band-aid on his boo-boos ever again.

“They went to see the redwoods, I think. I didn’t even know they’d gone," Buck sighs.

Eddie shifts in place like he’s going to get up but he stays where he’s sitting. Buck ignores the way his knees sway closer.

“I called Deidre to see if I could get like, a photo album, or a picture frame—like, Chris has that picture of Shannon, right?”

Eddie nods, a frown beginning to form between his brows.

“Right, well, I thought maybe it would make him feel a little better if he could at least see his parents when he’s upset about missing them. She said she didn’t know if any were retrieved from the house, but she’d ask. She got back to me this morning.”

The tension headache that followed him into the early hours last night returns. He runs a hand through his hair, tugging it back to get some relief. Eddie’s eyes follow the path his hand takes, his frown getting deeper.

"Did they not have any?" Eddie asks.

Buck shakes his head. “Nothing physical. She mentioned there might be a few frames in storage, but their estate is still in limbo while they try to get in contact with next of kin.”

“That doesn’t explain why you were up until three in the morning,” Eddie observes.

--

Did this match the prompt hmm kind of ummm the reason Buck was awake so late is because he was trying to find pictures on their social media but he doesn't have either of them on Facebook and Kameron's instagram is private so he was trying to find friends or family to get him pictures and wasn't having any luck with responses because it was like. 1 am and then he kept himself awake in a classic Buck spiral thinking about what if Theo forgets what his parents look like because Buck can't give him any pictures newer than Connor in a shitty Polaroid from 11-12 years ago in Peru. Deidre eventually gets in contact with next of kin and they retrieve family photos from storage and buck gets to watch theo yap about what absolutely definitely happened during their redwood family vacation. Yay <3

adam leaf peepin bugbugly!!!!

🍂 leaf peepers (buddie tourist town au)

🌾 - what makes this fic grow? What do you need to make it grow?

a lot of leaf peepers gets written when i find a new picture of Leland that I really like. my family is made up of compulsive photographers, so oh boy do i have a lot of pictures of that place. ironically i don't have a lot of fall pictures easily accessible bc we rarely go up september-october when the leaves are turning, so the actual like, point of leaf peepers, the leaf peeping season, has absolutely nothing written for it?? i need to go through the family photo server and nab some fall pictures--my grandparents have lived up there for almost 30 years, there has to be some!!

Here's Leland during the fall in the 90s, taken by my grandpa:

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers.

Let’s spread the self-love 💗

hi drew i see you’ve caught me slacking 🏃‍♂️💨

1. illuminating all (in time) for Heated Rivalry and my only published fic to date. it’s just 2k of Shane staring at Ilya and being like woah…pretty…

These are the numbers he engraves on his heart:

Ilya has eighty moles on his back with seven lingering around the side of his hip in the shape of a shark’s tooth.

He has a single freckle hidden behind his ear that’s in the perfect place for Shane’s thumb to brush against when he cups Ilya’s head to pull him in for a kiss.

The hair on Ilya’s chest and stomach hides more targets for Shane to kiss and suck at, hinted at around the shape of his untamed happy trail—well, those are uncounted for now.

I’m working on more but I am a forever futzer and fiddler.

My favorite one to work on at the moment is paper calendar, which is kinda of a meandering Buck & 118 kids fic that I’m trying to pin down. Right now I’m rewriting May’s intro chapter. Again. And the prologue. Again.

I like to randomly post unconnected snippets of leaf peepers whenever the mood strikes. It’s my self indulgent tourist town au. Basically what if the 118 was based in the pinky of Michigan and buddie happened :)

Ummmm I have big ambitions for maiden name, my Young Wizards/911 fusion where Chris discovers his family is a lot more magical than is probably reasonable for a kid trying to be mad at everything and also what’s upppp with Shannon’s maiden name what is it.

Rifles through my papers. Yuppers! <3

🌾 + ⏳ for 🪄

hi jack!! ah wizard chrissssss

🪄 maiden name (wizard chris)

🌾 - what makes this fic grow? What do you need to make it grow?

answered here

⏳ - spend some time on the fic, this could be editing, or writing, or making a mood board or social media post

the moon scenes in young wizards always made me so jealous

The view is--there's nothing to describe this. There's no words, no combinations of sounds Chris could make even if he wasn't worried about the amount of oxygen he brought with him. He stands on the moon and looks across miles of space to Earth. The lights of a million fireflies take the shape of coastlines and city hot spots, flickering ever so slightly as bedtimes get called and businesses flip their signs. They're in just the wrong position to see El Paso right now, and LA hides further behind the curvature of the Earth--two dark spots in an otherwise brilliant vision. Moon dust kicks up and covers his sneakers as Adriana's bubble merges with his at the edges. Their spells open and link up like they were designed to, the beginnings and ends of the loops reaching out and hooking together like two necklaces being clasped end to end. Adriana's bubble brings a rush of extra oxygen--she probably anticipated he'd under calculate and brought extra. Adriana does a floaty skip-bounce and lands next to him. She follows his gaze to the planet below them. "Pretty cool, huh?" she says, smiling.

LAUUURENNNNN HIII

Okay 🐄📆

(For now. I’ll be back!)

HI DEEEEEEE!!!

📆 = paper calendar

🐄 - what trope do you feel like you’re milking in this particular fic?

the buck hanging out with the 118 kids trope fr but also a little bit of outsider POV on everything that's going on with Buck. its so underdeveloped as a story but I like the idea that Buck is like the oldest cousin of the crew and is privy to more of the 118 kid shenanigans than maybe one of the parents would be. until this season he wasn't super involved with any of them so i kinda wanted to play that up bc thats kinda how it is with my older cousins lol
