Madney Week 2022

Day 3: Lyrics & poetry

“They didn't even make a sound“

[Image Description: 3 gifs of Maddie and Chimney from 9-1-1. 

Gif 1: Maddie in 313 at the restaurant. She is wearing a black dress and a long gold necklace. She Is sitting across from Chimney. She looks apologetic as she talks to him, shaking her head and waving her hands. The text is “remember those walls I built” and the word “walls” is in a bigger font with a gold glow. 

Gif 2: Maddie and Chimney in their apartment in 408. She is in her pyjamas and he is wearing a grey shirt. The gif starts in greyscale and turns into a color gif as they both hug, with a yellow hue on top of it. The text is “well, baby they’re tumbling down” and the word “baby” is bigger and golden like the previous gif. 

Gif 3: the background is a greyscale gif with a yellow hue, of Madney in 408, where they laugh and throw a piece of baby clothing between them. Maddie is wearing a cardigan over a loose white dress and Chim is wearing a dark fleece and trousers. The foreground is a smaller square color gif, of Maddie at work in 208, looking down contemplatively before she looks up at Chim and smiles slightly as she talks about taking him up on his offer. There is a diamond around the smaller gif, and the text reads "and they didn't even put up a fight"

“I’ll always fight to come home to you.” and/or a story where one of them has to take care of the other. Rated G, 1k

There are days when Maddie still misses helping people in a hospital rather than through a phoneline. She thinks it's in her blood – has to be in Buck's, too – this need to look out for another life. 

For her, Daniel was the start of that. Being a nurse was a way for Maddie to care for others the way that she hadn't been able to for her brother. 

It's that instinct that Maddie's tapped into as a mother as well. Or, tries to. She's told constantly that she's doing a good job so one of these days she hopes to stop second-guessing it.

Today, however, it's about taking care of her sometimes stupid boyfriend.

"You know, I'm used to Buck being the one who runs off with a dumb idea," Maddie says as she helps Chimney limp over to the couch on crutches.

He smiles sheepishly as he's lowered carefully and gets his leg propped up, which has been wrapped up in bandages, while Maddie sets the crutches aside. "When Hen comes knocking, Maddie, I can't leave her hanging."

Maddie goes to the kitchen to grab a glass from the cabinet. "Don't think Karen and I aren't planning on giving her some harsh words about it, too," she tells Chimney over her shoulder while filling it with water. 

"It will have been worth it," Chim tells her, then hisses when he moves his leg the wrong way.
