Happy Way-More-Than-Six-Sentences-Sunday everybody! Thanks @thewholelemon for the tag, and thanks to everyone for tagging in the past week, I'm going to be looking at all your stuff soon!
In case you missed it, I posted my new COBB fic with @lauillu!! Even if you're not in the mood for reading, definitely take a look at fic so you can see the art! It is stunning!!
Also this week, I've switched from Google Docs to Ellispus, which I've been meaning to do for a while with all the things I've seen about Google Docs randomnly deleting documents, and it's been nice! For starters, I only transferred over the WIPS I plan on continuing to work on, which means I only have a crisp 5 documents to look at instead of a gazillion.
And according to my word tracking spreadsheet, I've written over 100k words so far this year!! (this is not net total, many of these words have since been deleted, but still! yayyy!)
Here's a snip of the upcoming 2nd chapter of my new COBB fic! For context, Baz and Simon have swapped magic and Baz has Simon's wings.
Baz makes a face. “I’m not putting holes in my shirts. I’ll just—” Baz’s left wing angles in. “—tuck the wings in.”
I watch as Baz’s wings move in and out as he tries to figure out how to do it, but I went most of my life without even knowing I could fold my wings up—it’s not easy to do.
I clear my throat.
“What?” Baz whips around towards me, and I keep my eyes on his face instead of his chest. His cheeks are red.
“You’re not going to want to tuck the wings in. It’s not comfortable.”
“Well, I’m not walking around with wings out.”
Baz crosses his arms and angles away from me, but his wings still push in and out aimlessly. He reaches behind his back and tries to press a wing down.
I take a step towards him. “It’s not the most intuitive thing. Do you want help?”
Below the cut is my other fandom musings, feel free to stop here if you're not interested in either 9-1-1 or my new stupid omegaverse headcanon
I've been writing like a FIEND the past few days on my omega!buck fic. is it perhaps a bad sign that i have over 20k and i'm not even finished yet with section 1 of a tentative NINE sections??? Probably, but this has consumed me. All I know is omega!buck, i have so many thoughts about him.
ALSO!! I made another buddie edit. you don't even WANT to know how long it took, or how many layers that thing has. my mangum opus except i've looked at it for so long that i lowkey hate it.
Here's a snip of Buck and Maddie from omega!buck. Takes place during the season 2 Dosed Episode. nobody's allowed to judge my rough draft writing i've been writing so much so fast i have no brain power left to tell if it's any good yet
Buck calms down somewhere between getting back to the station and Maddie arriving. Chim stole his phone to call her, something he vaugly remembers. Eddie's gone by now too, he was picked up by his aunt.
Buck's glad his aunt doesn't live anywhere close to here. His mom's sister, Aunt Patrica, smelled like mothballs and dust, and she doesn't want to see her.
"Why are you talking about Aunt Patty?" Maddie says, clueing Buck in to the fact that even though he feels more sober, he's still high enough that his thoughts don't stay in his head.
"Just glad I have you." Buck grins up at her from the loft couch. "Eddie didn't have a sister to pick him up."
"You're sweet." Her tone is a little tense. "I can't believe you got drugged at work though. Chim says LSD. Inside of brownies?"
"Yeah, I had three."
"Jesus Christ."
also, 2nd snip to showcase my favorite new stupid omegaverse lore.
Buck sits back in his position and she takes his wrists and breathes in.
“Oh my god,” she says.
“What?”
“You’re citrus.” She sounds very pleased by this.
“What?”
“I didn’t think you’d be citrus.”
“Citrus?”
“You smell like oranges.” Ali sniffs again. “And something else too. It’s kind of faint. But still! Citrus! I wonder what that means again.”
Ali pulls out her phone and Buck looks over to see her typing citrus scent profile omega.
“Oh, come on,” Buck groans, leaning back. But Ali pays him no mind and starts reading out loud.
“‘Omegas with the citrus scent profile wear their hearts on their sleeves. Citrus isn’t afraid to feel their feelings and oftentimes can have more intense emotions than other profiles. Citrus creates strong bonds with pack members. They are often viewed as being generous and understanding.’” Ali looks up now. “What do you think, Buck? Are you generous and understanding?”
i think in a world where everyone has distinct scents, people would be grouping them into a categories and giving them little personality profiles like zodiac signs. we did that with fucking blood types even, scents could not escape
Just For This Moment by suyari
- 10,370 words, mature
Summary: “Take your time,” Carla said sternly. “Don’t rush this because you’re worried, Buck, do you hear me? Any change in your scent could just set him off.”
“Yes, thank you, I know how to deal with Alphas,” he drawled.
“Yes, but Eddie’s not just another Alpha and I think it’s time we acknowledged that.”
Prompt: After the lawsuit Omega Buck comes back to work to a very chilly reception from everyone, especially Alpha Eddie. Buck keeps trying to make amends but he's treated lower than a probie. Buck needs to have affection and support and with everyone so angry, they forget this. Buck feels himself weaken and if a heat hits, it'll be fatal. After Bobby blows up at him over something not even his fault, Buck goes home and heat hits. He makes a desperate call to Eddie. Will Eddie reach him?
This reminded me of this story actually - New Life Of Omega Buck by The_Scarlet_01 on AO3
I looked it up to find a link. I've never actually written ABO fic myself anon so I'm not sure how well I could do this but it sounds similar to that series I read once. Feel free to send this to someone else though. I know that both @wolvesofinnistrad @datleggy have before but I can't remember if another writer on here has too. @anon911andbuddie also maybe
Dialogue idea: “ It seems that while all of you chose to hold onto your petty grudges, for all intents and purposes something within Mr. Buckley has finally withered away and died, something vital to the core of who he is as a person. No one has ever seen this level of touch starvation before. “ Doctor gives Bobby and team the most scathing look ever. “We don’t even know where to begin to try and fix him. You all must be so proud of yourselves.” (Sarcasm)
imagine omega!buck just being screwed over on all sides, like, he and eddie are together but eddie keeps telling him he doesn’t deserve hugs when he’s feeling needy (bc he’s a v affectionate omega!!) and he has to earn back the love he lost bc of the lawsuit iuwrbgafjdis and the team act in much the same way at work/outside of it, pushing him away if he tries to help them w something (cooking, cleaning, etc.) around the station bc they’re in agreement w bucks alpha eddie that he needs to learn his lesson but ofc they take it too far and buck tries his best to hold on, like, ok, maybe today? maybe if i do this? maybe if i don’t complain? maybe if---and wayyyy too many maybe’s later something happens (like he gets injured on the field) and the team is frantically trying to dig him out of a ditch or something and they finally get to him and eddie wraps his arms around his omega bc he’s so relieved to find him alive and only relatively hurt and god, it’s EVERYTHING bucks wanted for soooo long but it’s too late, and something in buck has snapped and he doesn’t react at ALL to the touch he’s been craving all this time and everyone’s panicking and when he’s at the hospital the doctor, who happens to be friends w/ buck, bc the poor man is there so often is PISSED bc it’s been a WHILE since he’s seen an omega in such awful condition and he just goes off on everyone ouG4HROIAETHRIGASD
Hi friends!! Thanks for the tags @monbons, i'm so excited for the cheer au!!
I've written nearly 26k since the beginning of this month. I feel insane. @fiend-for-culture did so many sprints with me the past week, we took over the sprint channel in the carry on server. I'm still writing like a fiend, so if anyone wants a sprint buddy ever, i am There.
Also, i just want to clarify, in my last wipsday post, I mentioned switiching to ellipsus bc google docs was supposedly deleting documents. That is, in fact, as i *kind of* suspected, a rumor, so if you're using google docs and you like it, don't stress about switching, BUT if you're looking for a new writing program, I'm really enjoying Ellipsus over Google Docs!! Just look how pretty i can make it with the themes!!
ALSO, i have a Secret posting plan for my two uncomplete fics on AO3. I will not be sharing it because then it will become pressure and i won't want to do it, but just know that more chapters are coming!! and that I have a Plan. trust.
New chapter of The Way We Are, coming soon, please enjoy this snipppet, featuring Morley, another one of my vampire OCs (another shout out to @fiend-for-culture for helping me with my OC names ages ago). Baz POV below
My eyes open at the sound of the door, and I don’t have to look to know that it’s Morley. (Recognising people by scent always makes me feel like some kind of dog.)
“Hey, kid,” they say, leaning up on the wall next to me, and letting out a sigh. “It’s nights like these that make you wish you could smoke, huh?”
I laugh, thinking of the packs of cigarettes my aunt goes through. She’ll slap it out of my hand if I reach for one. (“You’re flammable, Basil.”)
“It’d give me a better reason to step outside at least,” I say, thinking about how I could light a fire with just one thought. Light a match and set a fire in your heart. Set this whole place ablaze.
Follow in my mother’s footsteps.
9-1-1 fandom news and an omega!buck snippet under the cut
Of the almost 26k i've written, 24k of that has been on my omega!buck fic. This thing is going to be SO LONG, and i feel like that should scare me (since i've written 36k so far and i'm not even 20% of the way through my outline...), but i'm having SO much fun with it.
Here's a snip! I'm leaving in my bracket notes to myself for realism. (i've been writing so fast and this is Such a rough draft, so you're not allowed to judge it)
"So let me get this straight," Eddie says as he walks into the apartment, arms loaded with grocery bags. (He was in the middle of shopping when Buck called.) "You're planning on sleeping on your couch for two to three months?" [fact check this pleaseee]
"It's a comfortable couch!" Buck insists. He's sitting on it again. He left the door open for Eddie. It hurts to be on his feet for too long.
Eddie scoffs. "I thought you wanted to heal quickly. How are you planning on getting quailty rest on that thing with your ridiculously long legs hanging off the end?"
"I literally don't have choice. I called you to climb up the stairs for me."
With a eye roll, Eddie starts unpacking some of the food bags. Buck assumes he's putting his cold stuff away so he doesn't have to worry about it and he doesn't mind. He never minds when Eddie inserts himself into his space.
"Yeah, well, I called Chimney, and he's going to be here within the hour to help me carry your bed down these stairs."
"Oh."
Omega!Buck!!!! Ok I have lots of questions; feel free to answer only what you want. But I love all the variants of him so I guess my questions are: does he know he’s an omega? Does he like it? Does he hide it? Is he against the whole alpha/omega pairing supremacy or is he secretly yearning for an alpha of his own?
Hello!! These are the important questions. First of all, yes, he does know he's an omega, but he is in fact hiding it because discrimination or whatever. (Omegas cannot be firefighters in this universe so yeah.)
As for whether or not he likes it, he doesn't feel all that tied to "being an omega" as his identity. He's spent a lot of his life hiding it since his parents insisted it would be easier that way. When he left, he tried being open about it, and he didn't hate it or anything, but his parents were right, it was easier to just pretend to be a beta. So while he was moving around the country, he'd either be open as an omega or pretend to be a beta if he had to.
Personally, my favorite flavor of omegaverse is the ones where their designation isn't everything about them, yk? Like it's another facet of them, but it doesn't like completely distact their personality or even who they can date. Is Buck yearning for an alpha of his own? He's yearning for connection and to be understood, he doesn't really care much about the designation of that person. Currently, I'm deciding if i start this fic in season 1 or season 2, but either way Buck will date every secondary sex gender. (Abby is a beta, Ali is an omega, and Taylor Kelly is obviously an alpha (also side note, i've thought wayy too much about what bucktaylor would look like in this omegaverse and i have come away with many a thought and feeling and a whole lot more apprecaitation for bucktaylor just as a couple, but like specifcally MY version) Oh an Tommy and Eddie are also alphas fyi. (he doesn't data Natalia in this fic because reasons)).
Thanks for your questions! i hope all this made sense!
So excited that you have an omega Buck fic coming out! If I may ask can we please get a couple hints as to which prompt you are using?
im currently writing the final chapter of the omega!buck fic wolves and mates and bears, oh my!
but the other omega!buck fic i plan to work on (after some other prompts which i talked about this past weekend while answering another ask) is this one:
Prompt: Omega Buck and Alpha Eddie are together but after the lawsuit Eddie is cold and distant and it hurts Buck to his very soul. The others being mad and downright mean to him doesn't help. Chris is the only thing helping him cope. Buck finds out he's pregnant and he excitedly tells Eddie and the others. However, the team aren't enthused and Eddie asks if it's even his. Buck finally snaps and shifts into this twisted, monstrous wolf. Everybody horrified and remorseful. Buck is pissed!
