Hopefully. I intermittently open it up, stare at it, then close it again without writing anything even though I can literally see the rest of Grow As You Go plotted out every time I close my eyes. I can HEAR the first line of the next chapter in Kelly's voice. The executive dysfunction has just been real bad. I just keep crocheting hats instead of doing the things I want to do.

We know Buck’s the kind of guy who’s aware of some viral trends/vids because of the whole Firefox thing. But what if, during one of his days off, he decides to set up a yt channel/Tiktok account that teaches fire safety, emergency and natural disaster survival tips, etc? Christopher guests in the vids a lot, as a way to show that even kids can do it.

Eddie will never be caught dead in front of the camera but he patiently makes sure that the vids are framed well (like with 2.01). Abuela and Pepa are so proud of Buck and Chris that they get accounts just to support them. Athena, Hen, Chim and Maddie show their love by appearing for medical vids. Bobby is the proudest papa and actually shows the chief who, on behalf of LAFD gets Buck verified.

On women’s month, he gets THE Firefox to do a takeover with Bosko and the internet goes crazy.

If this is set in the Chicago verse, Kelly gets dragged into the vids whenever one of them visits the other, usually to demonstrate the best way to move an injured friend. They may enjoy each other’s displays of strength a bit more than is appropriate for the vid but they can edit that part out anyway.

1. I f-ing love this account. My two fav fandoms on one account with someone who loves these two fandoms as much as I do. 2. Buck, Kelly Severide and Jay Halstead. What more could I ask for. 3. @buckeride ships buck and Kelly and it’s the ship I’ve never even thought of before and I love it

Buck, but only after he learns that Valentine's Day is A Thing Functional Relationship Havers Do from Kelly. He's never been in a relationship on hallmark day before! He hasn't got a clue! Kelly absolutely does NOT clue him in, and just appears on their first Valentine's day with a massive flower arrangement and whisks Buck off to a romantic dinner at a fancy restaurant whose owner he heroically rescued at some point. He has to tie Buck's tie for him. It's mortifying for Buck, who gave Kelly one of those kids' joke cards he nabbed from one of the Herrmann tots and thought he was covered, and deeply amusing for Kelly.

Every year after that Buck is determined to one-up Kelly. There are elaborate hand made love notes scattered around the house and in Kelly's locker. Breakfast in bed. Romantic outings. Deeply kinky sex they usually don't have time for.

This was prefriendship I have no insights! >:(

I was mainlining firefighter shows back to back, as one does when they have a week off work but are stuck at home, and I had the very sudden realization that Buck is a man who needs a good spanking every so often.

But there was no one at the 118 i thought could give him the kind of whooping he needed. And so when i watched Chicago Fire next I was like "Kelly Severide looks like a man who knows his way around a spanking." And then the spanking & smut popped into my head fully formed, basically, and i ruined my life by writing thousands of non porn words to go with it and getting invested in the ship.

Got Chapter 2 of my Buck/Severide fic up!

April 2011

Two months had passed, and Buck still found himself in Chicago, now having taken a near permanent residency sleeping on Kelly’s couch - no longer sleeping at Casey’s. How that had happened, no one was exactly sure, but so long as he had a bed (or couch) Buck wasn’t complaining. 

Buck still didn’t have an actual job in the city beyond helping Casey out with whatever construction job he needed Buck’s limited skill set for, or going out with Kelly in his boat, which wasn’t all that often right now considering the weather, but they had been a couple times now. 

Honestly, Buck wasn’t exactly sure why these guys, especially Kelly, were keeping him around. He and Shay never asked Buck for any money, not even asking for groceries. And whenever Buck offered some, both him and Shay would just refuse to accept it. 

Casey still paid Buck for the days he worked for him, so when Buck looked at his bank balance now, he had more money than he had before he left Hershey. He was by no means set for life or anything, but a couple weeks, maybe months? He’d be fine - probably. 

It had turned out that his Jeep needed a lot more than one week for everything to get fixed. It actually needed about two months. And Buck couldn’t exactly complain or blame anyone. Some of the delay was due to parts being sold out and needing to wait for them. And Andy was still helping him for free, so again, he couldn’t complain. 

Now that the Jeep was fixed however, Buck was left not knowing where to go next. He was pretty sure the job that had been waiting for him in Iowa was long gone now, and he wasn’t keen on going anywhere without any sort of plan. 

So Buck supposed he had no real reason to leave right now. He liked the people here, and he supposed he had a job, even if it was kind of under the table. He was also pretty certain he wouldn’t wind back sleeping inside his Jeep as long as he didn’t piss Kelly or Shay off.
