Just thought I'd share this fun little fic I saw a snippet of (not mine though I wish I could write like that, credit belongs to @absolutelybifurious) that's finally done as (although this does still sorta end with Buddie but in a way that kinda felt weird to me not bad-weird nor good-weird) playing with unconventional 9-1-1 pairings is a fun way to counter how Buddie-centric the 9-1-1 fandom is

As for which rarepair, to briefly summarize the metaphorical longest one-shot in the known universe (as it's still long and worth-reading enough for this summary to not do it justice though I do wonder if there'd be room for there to be more to this story/the potential-triangle-y-thing being set up here); Eddie's barely been back when he comes out to Buck and when Buck overhears Eddie confessing to Hen a crush on another coworker Buck's mind goes where most fans' would but unfortunately for Buck it's not him it's Chimney of all people and Buck kinda, to say he doesn't take it well would be an understatement (some of how Buck's feelings towards Eddie are written here kinda reminds me of that one 911/YOU crossover fic where Buck becomes the latest target of Joe's fixations). Meanwhile despite being the Buckley potentially getting homewrecked here Maddie's kinda surprisingly cool with it (and even potentially okay with a little bit of poly experimentation if I'm to interpret a line right, god wouldn't that twist the knife in even deeper for the universe hating Buck with people that important to him now all with each other and despite still being family Buck still feeling (in the least incest-crush-y way possible as let's not go there) out of the loop) which isn't helping matters

So in short this fic is just something I feel needs more 9-1-1 fan (or whatever we-the-fans call ourselves like Trekkies, Whovians etc. are for their respective shows as 9-1-1 kinda falls into this weird spot where it's hard to find a fandom name that wouldn't make us sound like characters or something) attention as does in general the idea of rare-pair-AU-shenanigans pairing Chim with either Buck or Eddie. Even if you're afraid of pairing him with anyone but Maddie for fear of retconning out some of the most adorable little kids on broadcast TV if you want to set it early enough for no homewrecking there's solutions like the throuple idea I was kind of alluding to (and whether or not it's a continuation of this I would kinda like to see someone attempt a Maddie/Chimney/Eddie throuple fic)

Happy birthday clown! My sketching isn’t the best so enjoy this cross stitch of Home from welcome home!

I did it based off the following pixel art:

Home Welcome Home Puppet Show Arg Perler Charm perler bead pattern. Find free perler bead patterns / bead sprites on kandipatterns.com, or c

But of course with some edits to make it more cross stitch friendly-I promise roof will fully be added tomorrow night!!

So i literally haven't written fic in like 15 years, so im not sure what happened here. Sorry if it's horrible but i have to get it out my head, so to tumblr.com it goes. (No beta, written on my phone at work so it may be a little rough)

Chimney/Eddie - kind of platonic, kind of not? Set 5B, post madney return to LA/break up, pre-jonah.

"You miss kissing?"

Chimney abandons the baseball game TV, his head swinging over to stare at Eddie. "I'm sorry?"

Eddie keeps his gaze forward, but it's obvious the game isn't his focus as he picks at the label on his beer bottle. "Kissing," he says again with a shrug. "I know the issues Shannon and I had are completely different than you and Maddie. But I remember when she first left . . . Sex complicates things, but kissing was an easy way to feel close to someone."

Chimney thinks of rolling over in the early morning hours, his body reaching out to place a gentle kiss and curl around someone who wasn't there. "Can't say I've thought abut it that much . . . But, yeah, I do. Any reason you're sharing that particular thought with me?"

Eddie shrugs. "I don't know. Therapy was a bitch today. Frank's was poking at the my time after I was discharged. Got me thinking." There's a silence - though not an uncomfortable one - as Eddie gathers his thoughts. "I don't want to be in a relationship right now. I'm not in any place to be in one. But I miss being close to someone like that."

Chimney gazes at his friend, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Me, too. How do you feel about some platonic making out?"

Eddie finally looks at him, an eyebrow raised in challenge. It's not full force Diaz-sass, but he's looking more like himself than when Chimney first saw him after getting back to LA.

"I don't know, man. Think you can manage not to fall in love with me?"

"You wish Diaz," he says with a grin and leans in to meet Eddie over the empty pizza box.

It all feels very high school - not terribly romantic, but also fun and a little messy. When Chimney leaves later that night with kiss swollen lips and slight stubble burn he can't help but feel bit lighter. He's also looking forward to the game next week.
