As he approaches the pew with the 118 sitting in it, he can hear the susurrus of whispers around the room, and then clearer than any of the others by virtue of who’s talking, “So that’s him?”
“Yeah, Adriana,” says Eddie. “That’s him.”
“He seems sweet,” says Adriana.
“He can hear you,” says Eddie pointedly, and Buck has to stifle a little laugh.
“I’m not complaining,” he mutters, as he takes a seat between Maddie and Bobby.
“I’m sure,” says Eddie dryly, and in the same moment Bobby asks, “What was that?” so Buck has to focus up.
“Oh, nothing, just talking to myself,” says Buck airily. “How are you doing?”
Bobby looks like he’s aged years in the few days since the hit and run.

Buck pauses, hyper aware that they have a much larger audience than Maddie could know. It can’t hurt to remind everyone here that he’s on good terms with the head of their pack.
“Yeah,” he says after a moment. “We met after she broke her leg, she cooks the best enchiladas I’ve ever had.” As they get closer to the front, and he sees how incredibly stiff looks up ahead, he adds, “She loves Eddie and Chris more than anything.” Up ahead, he sees Eddie soften just a little at the reminder.
“I’m glad,” says Maddie, “And it’s nice to see so many of his family flew out for this as well.”
“Yeah,” says Buck, tries to be as neutral as he can be. “They’re a close family, for all that they’re across multiple states.”
A beat of silence, and Buck thinks for a brief moment about the difference between the Diaz pack and his own. Between the fact that the Diazes might not have approved of Shannon in a variety of ways, but so many of them are here to show their love and support for Eddie and Chris despite that. Between the unshakeable fact that his own pack can only really rely on the people in this room, and Athena Grant, who was working today. The 118 has almost inadvertently collected people who don’t really have anywhere else to turn, who don’t have a strong support system. They’re a close knit group, and there’s a reason for that.
as everrrrr if you wanna make me write more, you can
okay so let's start with a lil snippet from pt 2 of canine teeth
“Evancito,” says Isabel, from just inside the entrance, “It is good to see you.” She pulls him close, drops a kiss on each cheek, and Buck can feel his own shoulders relaxing. “Thank you for coming,” she says, earnest, as she holds him by each shoulder.
“Nowhere else I’d want to be,” says Buck earnestly. “Here, let me introduce you to my sister, Maddie, and our coworkers, Chimney, Hen, her wife Karen, and our Captain, Bobby.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you all,” says Isabel, “Eddie is up at the front with Christopher, I’m sure he’ll be glad to see you all.”
“She seems nice,” says Maddie in an undertone as they walk up the aisle towards Eddie and Chris.
“Isabel?” asks Buck, “Oh yeah, she’s the best.”
“Didn’t realize you knew his grandmother so well,” says Maddie thoughtfully.

Warnings: grief/mourning

15. forbearance by waterlanding (@exhausteddiaz) (5.7k, Explicit)
Warnings: none
Buck forces himself to slow down, take a second. Replay the last five minutes in his head. He can look at this logically, assess the facts: he and Eddie had gone out. He and Eddie had a few drinks. He and Eddie had been shooting the shit and now he’s rifling through his nightstand, grabbing for a device that keeps your dick from getting hard.
Because Buck said he’d show it. To Eddie.

“Yeah, well I’m trying to keep you in my life,” Eddie bites out, “and you’re acting like this is some kind of permanent goodbye.”
“This is goodbye, Eddie,” Buck retorts, his jaw tense. “You’re leaving.”

Reccer says: i loved the maddieddie friendship and watching eddie get excited about books. a fic for booklovers (and everyone else)!
24. transference by waterlanding (@exhausteddiaz) (3k, Explicit)
Warnings: none
Buck sleeps with Tommy to make Eddie jealous instead of adopting Blaze. Things go differently when Buck shows up as Freddie Fakeman to apologize.
Reccer says: Small canon divergences in fics, especially ones hinged on sex, can be so tricky to navigate well, but this story nails it. It's hot, funny, believable, and close to canon but just different enough to keep the reader guessing.

Warnings: Mention of addiction [to hugs]
"And now here Eddie is, hyping himself up to choose joy.
The thing is that hugging isn’t something Buck and Eddie usually do. He can count on one, maybe two hands, how many times they’ve hugged in seven years. So he can’t just open his arms and have Buck come crawling into him. He must take different, more calculated measures. "
Reccer says: It's fluffy, sweet, and feels like a hug!
35. All About Eddie by Sintari (OriginalSintari) (@sintari) (1.1k, Teen)
Warnings: none

Reccer says: I liked it!

wait so vesper died in 2003, 23 years ago, and nancy is 51. she was 28 when she wrote that obituary. how long do you think she’d been working for the omaha sunday scoop at that point? no wonder it hit hard, a girl just a few years younger than she is, passionate and driven like she is, who never had the chance to be more. how much of nancy’s career do you think was driven by the determination that someone needs to tell the story of people who think they’ll disappear without anyone noticing, how many nights did she spend doggedly pursing a story, exhausted and upset, and pulling out that old obituary for the strength to keep pushing forwards?

hype to see tumblr, famously the source of almost all black sails fans, be irrationally mad at siobhan for calling it a) black flag and b) not that gay even though she binged like six episodes a year ago
