#s8 spec

[honorarybuckley]

tommy knows evan is it for him about six months into their relationship. he tries to stay levelheaded about it but sometimes, after a hard day, he’ll imagine rings and strollers and a house with a white picket fence. everything he never had growing up.

they discuss it, more than once, and tommy is happy to know they’re on the same page but he still doesn’t quite believe it will ever happen. he’s happy to live in the moment and enjoy each day as it comes.

one morning, a few weeks after their first anniversary, they are laying in bed. evan is quieter than usual but it’s a comfortable silence. something is on his mind and tommy patiently waits for him to share. evan turns his head until his chin is resting on tommy’s sternum, a sleepy, sated smile on his face.

marry me? he whispers.

tommy’s smile is a near instant thing, his face scrunching in the way he knows evan loves. a year ago he’d be questioning things, checking in and making sure evan isn’t acting impulsively. but they’re so far past that now. tommy trusts evan implicitly, knows the difference between his hesitance and his assuredness and is positive that this is real and right and true.

his quiet yeah gets swallowed up by evan’s kiss and their room is a sudden cacophony of their giggles and the rustling of sheets. they both have shifts later and unfortunately eventually have to pull themselves from bed, but neither can stop touching the other or wipe the smile from their face.

it’s a week before their schedules line up again and they’re able to go shopping for rings. a week that’s so similar to the early days of their relationship, just the two of them caught up in their little love bubble before anyone else knows.

what if eddie treats buck’s face—all soft touches and gentle hands and delicate presses and buck doesn’t even flinch or move or react differently, instead he looks fond and comfortable and just so adoring and they’re still joking, they’re still teasing each other, but it’s just not in the usual banter buck’s boyfriend is used to, not just from buck, but from everyone because is anybody this soft to their best friend? and he looks in between them weird and questioning and that’s it.

So you know how Tim said Buck will deal with being lonely and stuff?

I was thinking that maybe it won't be a rebound relationship. I think it'll be sth like Buck gets a pet or sth like that

Do I have any evidence to back up these claims? No. It was just an intuition whispered in my ear at this fine rainy morning of Jan. 8th, so don't think too much of it

(But I did get an intuition that 8.06 wouldn't be good for us soooo)

I love the trapped dads car crash spec for buddie but my ideal trapped dads nde scenario since s5 is a building collapse and separated by a wall picture this : they are on what is look like a normal building fire expect there’s a second explosion whatever and there’s a collapse maybe buck realizes first and tries to push Eddie out the way but they both end up trapped and hurt but there’s debris in between and the building is still on fire so after yelling for each other they talk about their injuries (buck has a concussion and a broken mask he doesn’t mention , Eddie has a concussion and a bleeding wound he hasn’t notice yet ), try to use their comms and mostly try to normally talk and wait until buck starts coughing more and more and finally admits his mask is broken so Eddie desperately makes his way around the debris (buck tries to help but he is having trouble with the whole smoke inhalation) and finally they are next to each other sharing Eddie’s mask , they sit close to each other and buck realizes Eddie is bleeding when he starts sagging and tries to wrap the wound ,some desperate angst conversation with all the good “stay with me” “ I can’t lose you” and mentions of the shooting the lightning and how in those times they could do more to save each other , buck tries to make noise to get them help while telling Eddie not to push himself (of course while pushing himself using the mask less and less without Eddie realizing because of the whole blood loss ) Eddie is starting to close his eyes which makes buck get even more desperate so he tries to move debris and ends ups passing out of the smoke inhalation , Eddie gains consciousness shorty after gets worried when he sees buck and does his best to get closer, manages to growl next to him and take his hand to check his pulse , he puts the mask (with barely oxygen left ) on buck and hears the team calling for them , he tries to wake buck up telling him help is coming but he is still bleeding and also having smoke inhalation so he pass out as well before the team reach them , then we cut to the team in their efforts to find them and when they do they are sprawled in the floor next to each other and it looks almost like they are holding hands and that’s the end of the episode :)

everything that happens will be something you’ve seen before

Back in January there was a 4chan leak that now appears to be the only legit online leak we’ve had so far (beyond set photos and tidbits from wotw) based on this having a specific verifiable detail. It’s not too revealing, here’s a link to a summary.

At the time it came out I remember speculating on a podcast and in a chat about how Tyrion was performing a role similar to that at Blackwater, based on what this extra described. It got me thinking how maybe Littlefinger was being quite the prophet in s7 after all:

“Don’t fight in the North or the South. Fight every battle everywhere, always, in your mind. Everyone is your enemy, everyone is your friend. Every possible series of events is happening all at once. Live that way and nothing will surprise you. Everything that happens will be something that you’ve seen before.”

With this in mind, will we see the characters repeat their early story arcs? I suspect we will, perhaps with different outcomes, and this process probably began in s7. I really like this idea and think that it would be a great end to the series I love, where the characters we’ve spent all this time with really do come full circle. I want to talk and speculate about the characters a bit more but don’t want them to turn up in everyone’s tags, so will post my thoughts in the comments. I would love some input from anyone with additional thoughts on this!
