[merliren]

chris wakes up in the middle of the night, there's some noise coming from his dad's room, some mumbling. he knows well what those mean – nightmares. he peaks through the door silently to make sure it's not so bad, eddie is distressed but he's still sleeping. chris decides to walk up to the bed and hold his dad's arm. some time later the tossing and mumbling cease. chris goes to sleep again.

the next morning he's cautious around eddie but he wants to know, because that wasn't one of his army nightmares. something about that one somehow fills chris with dread too. he still decides to ask when they're having breakfast.

"dad... what does '3 minutes and 17 seconds' mean?"

eddie feels like dying on the kitchen floor again.

i am forever thinking about chris turning up in the coma dream asking buck to help him find his dad and the way buck reacted to it bc it was so different than how he engaged with any other character in the dream. it was the first and only time he refused to engage with his subconscious, like he knew christopher was the one thing that could actually have the risk of making him want to to stay.

buck is ok to interact with what he thinks is ghost bobby and runs right past chim, saying maybe later to being given the opportunity to save this version of maddie, is able to talk openly with his fake parents & daniel about how he feels, why he needs to leave this place and he isn’t truly tempted at all really but when faced with chris it is so so different.

buck won’t engage with him like he is actually chris at all, has to affirm out loud that this chris is Not Real to be able to walk away from him and even then he had to acknowledge his guilt before he was able to start moving forward.

buck is always going to feel guilty about walking away from chris in his dream bc he promised he would be there for chris and that applies no matter what universe they are in but it was hearing the real christopher asking him to come back that bought buck to the hospital in his dream, kickstarting his journey of really trying to find a way out of the coma and so buck can’t even let himself pretend that this chris might be real for even a second bc if there is the slightest chance he is, that he is here and needs bucks help then it is just game over. he knows he needs to get back to the real chris in the real world bc he heard him telling him to come home and buck is not ever going to be able to ignore the voice of his real bff calling his name.

ive read a couple of fics where eddie finds out abt how buck reacted abt the well but i'd like a fic where buck finds out abt how eddie reacted at the lightning and eddie trying to pull buck up with his bare hands.

Just imagine if Jaune and Nora use their semblance during sex.

They could power the kingdom with all the electricity they would produce.

All the offense but Renorarc should be the most popular poly ship in RWBY

I mean, let’s be honest it basically feels canon
