Hey y’all can we please not be mean to neil gaiman? He’s doing his best and being very nice to us. He’s just one guy and a real person.

Just because we’re upset at the ending of episode 6, doesn’t mean we get to attack the wonderful people who made it.

It was beautifully done and he has told us time and time again that this was a lead up to what was planned long ago. Trust them all to get us there even if it’s not in the way we expect.

I get you’re mad. But we ate this season and we should be grateful that it exists at all. They didn’t have to give us more. Please be kind.

Chapters: 1/? Words: 6.8k/? Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Pairing: Buddie Triggers/Warnings: Canon Traumatic Events for Buck (like...all of them)

Summary:

Buck is struggling; he has been for a while. As every new trauma in his life piles up, Buck finds himself increasingly needing to talk to someone about it. He'd had Dr. Copeland for a while, but she'd retired and he couldn't muster up the energy to find someone else. He should talk to Eddie. After all, Eddie had been present for or involved in so much of Buck's recent trauma, it made sense that he'd be the easiest one to talk to about it. But Eddie had made so much progress with Frank, and Buck wasn't about to interfere with that because of his own problems. Buck could—would deal with it. He'd suck it up and carry on. Unfortunately for Buck, his life was hardly ever that easy.

Or, Buck gets stuck in a time loop knot reliving his greatest traumas.

Summary:

"I just want to be enough for once." The admission was so quiet that Buck wasn't sure if he was meant to hear it or not, but then Lucy's gaze flicked up, and she looked at him like she was waiting for a response. "I know what you mean," he finally said. "Not...not in the same way, I guess. But I get it." . Or, Buck wakes up from a nightmare and finds Lucy awake and in need of someone to talk to. And just maybe, Buck will find someone to talk to as well.
