I had to mentally send myself a reaction image the other day. I ran up the stairs on all fours, said to myself βiβm such a locationpilled scampercelβ and then perfectly envisioned this image
This is the most considerate advice for doing stretches I've ever seen??? Initially I started to go, "...but I can't do that with my knee-" then he showed a way I could do it. I was like... whoa. A video for stretching that is actually considerate towards my disabilities. Astounding and impressive.

Summary:
He left, and when he told Maddie she cried and Buck held her until she stopped shaking. He stayed for a dinner he made, and then well past Jee-Yun's bedtime and Chim had told him, seriously, when he was gathering his things and Maddie had fallen asleep on the couch, to do something that should have been simple. "Call Eddie."
"Sure," Buck said with a half smile and a bubbling in his gut.
He wasn't going to call Eddie. Eddie was busy, and Buck was an adult, and, in the grand scheme of things, his mother dying wasn't anything for anyone to worry about. She was dead, Eddie Diaz could stubbornly restart Buck's heart, but Margaret Buckley was well past the ressusitation point. Eddie was a lot of things (smart, capable, funny, handsome, adorable, so, so, so kind), but he wasn't a necromancer.
Besides, what had sent him back to Texas was much more important than Buck dead mother.

Or a story about grief, and love, and all of the complicated emotions in between.
Family has always been at the heart of 911, whether it's the family you're born into or the one you choose. This week's recs celebrate the relationships and connections that hold Buck and Eddie together.

4. Pocketful of Sunshine Β by kae_118 (4.9k, General) Β Warnings: none
Buck didn't think twice when he set a photo of Christopher as his lockscreen. Eddie, however, spirals a little when he finds out.Β
Reccer says: Very sweet and true to character! Buck WOULD do something like that without realizing the implications of it, and Eddie WOULD crash out a little about it.Β
5. there's more than teenage wasteland by iphigenias (4k, Teen) Warnings: post-partum depressionΒ
Buckleys donβt ask for help. Buck and Maddie try to change that with each other.Β
Reccer says: buckley siblings my beloved! there's something so tender about buck and maddie trying their very best to be good to each other despite it all, and finding family outside of each other while still loving each other so so much.Β
6. one dad, two dad by maygrantnash (@eddiebodywantssome) (3.8k, Not Rated) Warnings: none
christopher has a realisation and subsequent question for his two favourite adultsΒ
Reccer says: a younger chris questioning buddie is always so fun, and this really captures that kid feeling without going too saccharine.Β
7. sweet kid, running by Chancy_Lurking (4k, Teen) Warnings: Panic Attacks, Suicide Mention (no attempt), Running AwayΒ
Chris flies back to L.A. without asking forgiveness or permission.Β
Reccer says: incredible teenage chris fic, captures all the angst and anger of being a teen in his situation, and the dynamic with both eddie and buck is pitch perfect.Β
8. two truths, one big-ass lie by collieflower (2.9k, General) Warnings: none
Where they're hosting the first party of the school year, and two truths/one lie is too easy a game for the Buckley-Diazes.Β
Reccer says: chris and his friends are so fun, and it's always a delight to see buck and eddie dealing with the teen sass of their kid! the buckley-diaz ability to make their ndes into fun trivia is also always excellent.Β

The 118 venture up to Washington to help battle a wildfire. Buck gets his foot caught in a animal trap. Hen and Buck have a heart to heart about how Buck really feels about his best friend moving to Texas.Β

Eddie has been parenting solo for a long time β except maybe he hasnβt? Maybe he doesnβt have to?Β

five times buck plans a game night, and one time he's invited.Β
12. pick me, choose me, love me by trysetmeonfire (@try-set-me-on-fire) (8.3k, Teen) Warnings: Canon-Typical Violence, InjuryΒ
Eddie wants to scream. Eddie wants to talk to Buck. There are questions he should ask - Do you know when the bleeding started? How long has it been? How bad does it hurt? Are you injured anywhere else? There is a conversation he wants to have - If I leave you here I donβt know that youβll be alive when I get back. There are protocols, in disaster situations. If you can only save one person, you save the one most likely to survive. Beyond protocol, you always fucking save the kid. Beyond that, it's our kid. Itβs our fucking kid, itβs Christopher, and I am going to get him to the surface and in doing so I am going to leave you for dead. But itβs Buck, and they never really needed words to talk, and Buck is still looking at him, and Eddie knows what he'd say. He'd downplay the injury. He knows the protocol. And heβd already said it, damned him out loud, heβs going to take you back up top and then come back for me.Β
Reccer says: buckchris nde is always a hit, and this is such a good take on it with established relationship buddie!Β
13. coastal shelf by theundiagnosable (12k, Teen) Warnings: none
A fic which allows Shannon in death what she didn't get the chance to have in life -- a fully realized and individual personhood-- through the lens of a ghost watching the boys she left behind keep going and the family she lost keep growing.Β
Reccer says: I liked it!

Reccer says: I liked it!
14. what's waiting out there (we can never know) by Rehearsal_Dweller (@agentsnickers) (112.8k, General) Warnings: franker-than-canon discussion of Buck's canonical self-harm and suicidal tendencies (not very heavy though!)Β
At 22, Buck got one of his hookups pregnant and decided to keep the baby himself rather than let her be put up for adoption. At 26, he joined the 118. You know the rest, right?Β
Reccer says: This fic is so so so so wonderful, oh how i wish i could read it for the first time again!! A re-read will have to do <3 Lovely delicious slow burn canon rewrite with Buck and Eddie both as single dads weaving their family into one! Buck's OC kid is such a delight!Β
15. Exhibit B by Daisies_and_Briars (@cal-daisies-and-briars) (10.9k, Teen) Warnings: none
Seven years in the future, an adult Christopher has a chance to see his grandparents - and subsequently, his father - in a new light, on a family trip to El Paso.Β
Reccer says: This is a very interesting and nuanced take on the difficulties of family members having different relationships with one another, and growing up to realise that someone you love maybe doesn't treat the other people you love in a way that you can bear.Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β
16. three clicks and i'm home by astrolesbian (9k, Teen) Warnings: none
eddie moves back to el paso. adriana tries to pick up where they left off fourteen years ago, with mixed results.Β

17. we're overdue for a revival by saintsnames (21.3k, General) Warnings: ableism, religious traumaΒ
While in Texas, Chris starts going to healing services at the church.Β
Reccer says: This really grapples with ableism, religion, and trauma. On what it means to let someone else make choices in how to raise your child, especially if you realise too late that you disagree with the choices they make. It's aching and carefully written and painful and truly beautifulΒ
18. I'll stand by you (won't let nobody hurt you) by heroic_pants (5.3k, General) Warnings: none
Maddie is there on the day Buck is born, and the day his daughter is. She can't help but compare the two.Β
Reccer says: This is soooo lovely! Makes me weep, but in the best way, just a perfect little microcosm into how much Maddie loves her little brother(s)Β
19. lonely little love dog by little ghost (@ghostlandtoo) (24k, Mature) Warnings: None
When the 118 is closed for reconstruction after an earthquake, Buck is a floater for different stations around the city. He tries not to let it get to him. Much.Β
Reccer says: this is one of the most aching, lonely, devastating fics in the fandom. you really feel the lack of ties, buck slowly floating into the ether, and how important the firefam is, how much they love and support each otherΒ
20. a cold world for such a long life by Daisies_and_Briars (@cal_Daisies_and_Briars) (12.9k, Teen) Warnings: none
Eddie befriends Bobby's estranged older brother in a virtual support group for queer adults struggling to come out. The only problem? He has no idea that's who Charlie is.Β
Reccer says: The difficulty of estranged relationships, of trying to mend broken bridges, of coming out to the people you love. Of making up for the hurt you've caused, and growing and bonding in your most vulnerable moments.Β
21. oh, come when you're called by lesbianrobin (@lesbianrobin) (8.3k, Teen) Warnings: none
Chris wants his dad. He wants his bed. But he can't have those yet, and he and Dad never really text because if Dadβs not working theyβre usually together or one of them is too busy to text, so texting Dad feels weird, but Buckβ¦ He can text Buck.Β
Reccer says: Chris spends his time in El Paso thinking about his relationship with his dad, and his dad's relationship with his parents.Β
22. bashed out by ProsperDemeter (37.3k, Teen) Warnings: Minor character death, implied referenced canon self harm and suicidal tendenciesΒ
Margaret dies while Eddie's in El Paso with Chris, and Buck's not initially inclined to tell him.Β
Reccer says: A deeply painful and cathartic look at difficult family relationships and griefΒ Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β

a new reality tv show called So you think you can write Doctor Who
twelve episodes, twelve contestants - a mix of annoying middle aged sci fi authors, fan fic authors and random people off the street
a variety of against the clock writing tasks, big finish scripts, ability to interact with actors without shouting at them and challenges where you have no budget or doctor for an episode
judged by solely by christopher eccleston
this is how you find the new doctor who showrunner
they need to invent clubbing for boring sober people who don't like loud music or crowded group dancing. what's the "she should be at the club" for this hypothetical not-me demographic.
roundup of various common suggestions in the notes:
"the library": a nice space to hang, granted, but not really the same fun social vibes.
"the night-library that serves pink drinks and tea": okay okay, now we're cooking.
"coffee shop": a bit more social and rambunctious than the average library, but still too plain imo.
"the museum": still a tad too formal I feel like but definitely not opposed.
"the book club": again, not opposed, but book clubs do have the catch of requiring you to plan ahead and do some homework to really enjoy it, not a very "I'm bored on a friday and want to go do something fun" activity.
"wine tasting":
"dnd/ttrpg nights": unfortunately I'm stupid and am bad at these games. I mean unfortunately these hypothetical people are stupid and bad at these games.
"arcades with cover fees at the door and then free games": won't even lie this sounds killer, gonna see if they have any of those in my area.
"babe the club is wherever you feel confident in yourself, life is a club and Iβm just chilling at a bus stop": beautiful. poetic. heart warming. she should be at the bus stop.
Pleased to report that after a day of this i am not longer craving caper brine and my mouth is not dry as usual. There's some good suggestions in the notes too that I want to try.
-ancient roman posca: water, red or white wine vinegar, honey, salt, herbs (coriander, mint, thyme)
-switchel: water, ginger, vinegar, sweetener, lemon, salt
if you have a problem with any of the fictional pairings that i enjoy on the internet, for the low cost of $9,000 you can pay me to care about what you think

Whenever they gave us one of those "read through ALL the instructions before you begin!" trick assignments in school where the steps lead you on an increasingly ridiculous goose chase until the final one tells you to just put your name on the paper and turn it in without doing anything else, I was always like, "Okay, but what's the point? Surely the REAL world won't be anything like this." And then I grew up and discovered that not only is the real world often exactly like that, some people won't even read the first line of the instructions even if they make perfect sense. And these people are called "co-workers"
