yayyyyy thank you!!!! i ALSO love the buckravi fic i truly need to write more for it.

what makes this fic grow? What do you need to make it grow?

i LOVE buck&ravi dynamics, i just think that it's so fun and fascinating! unlike the other members of the 118, i don't think ravi can be slotted easily into a family designation -- like, it always feels weird to me when fics make buck call him a brother or something, because that's not really the vibe i personally get. that more loose space ravi occupies for buck makes writing them bouncing off of each other really fun, and it's what made me write this fic! my first fic ever for 911 was also buck&ravi, so clearly i just have an affinity for these two.

for this fic specifically, i think that i really want to have ravi and buck be straightforward with each other in ways that contrast how convoluted their situation gets. like the inciting incident for this fic is that they're doing therapy with each other, so they have really honest conversations that i find really fun to write because they don't really get that with anyone else! buck of course has terminal 'complicated dynamics with everyone in his life'-itis, and ravi i think has a really special dynamic with the 118 where he came in early enough to see a lot of pivotal moments of the team, but late enough that he doesn't really get their drives the way they get each other. i really like having the two of them bridging that gap with each other!

as a bonus, have a little snippet i do not remember if i've already shared or not, but always makes me smile bc it does encapsulate the dynamic i wanted for them here:

It is startling, how much better he feels, the crawling sensation from the therapy session a slide instead of skitter under his skin. Ravi complains about his latest hookup, the AC issues at one of his tenant’s places, how Chimney ate the takeout he brought to the station last shift and claimed that it was ‘captain’s privileges.’ Buck teases, laughs, settles into his seat. There’s something comforting about hanging out with Ravi, with the lack of expectations surrounding it. With Ravi, Buck isn’t a brother or son or partner or guardian, not a mentor or disappointment or savior or failure. He’s not any of the tangled webs of family that’s become so vital and so complicated in Buck’s life. He’s just- Ravi’s friend, all of the best parts of befriending all the people that Buck has met on the road, without the distance that comes from knowing that they are moving towards something that you still haven't quite grasped. It is, Buck is startled to realize, maybe the first time he’s had a normal friend. Because Buck is chronically incapable of being normal about these things, his mouth moves in time with this thought. “Hey, I think you’re like, one of my only friends.”

omg omg omg can I pretty please ask

"🌾 - what makes this fic grow? What do you need to make it grow?" for the wishbone fic!

and if you have the time and want to, also

"❓ - what even is this? Tell me about it" for the emergency contact fic?

hi mihi!!! you have asked about my two most favourite passion fics so i am offering u a forehead kiss in return thank u so much <3

🌾 - what makes this fic grow? what do you need to make it grow?

⭐️ - wishbone fic

okay look. this fic is the bane of my existence. and the object of all my desires.

i started conceptualising this fic pretty much as soon as i heard the album. i am not against an unhappy ending, but i was pretty new to buddie and tbh i don't really want to write an unhappy ending for them yet!! so, i spent ages outlining and planning a fic that kept the wishbone vibes but wasn't as devastating.

i started writing it, yayyy!! then life got busy and i had to focus on grief group fic bc it was so much more research intensive. got back to writing wishbone, yayyyy!!!! then the best was released?? and i am a planner to a fault, and 5 new songs was not on the plan!! but i got over it, continued writing!! and then life again, and i had to write my friend's birthday fic, now its buddie week and wishbone fic is just waiting (which is on brand for that album).

so i guess what i need to make it grow is just time? there are soooo many scenes i'm excited to write! i love angst and the miscommunication trope and some stuff coming up is gonna be so fun and juicy.

❓ - what even is this? tell me about it

📱 - emergency contact fic

okay SO. i've had this idea rattling around in my brain for literal years, but never had a fandom to write it for UNTIL NOW!!!! its loosely inspired by a book i read at work one time and tbh...i don't think the book holds up, but i barely remember a thing about it other than the broad strokes.

so it's semi-epistolary, part-narrative and part-textfic. s2 au, eddie is new to LA and he works for the 136. he keeps ending up in these emergency scenarios but has no support network, however! buck keeps coincidentally being there to help :)

they exchange numbers for emergency contact purposes and slowwwlyyy but surely fall in love!! and all is going well!! but then of course shannon comes back into eddie's life and surely. that won't cause any issues at all! (but this is a shannon lives au, she will be happy if it kills me!!!)

the plan is for it to be very romcommy, but with a good dash of angst because that's just who i am as a person i'm afraid. still tossing up just how angst it'll be, but. it'll be there.

thank you for letting me yap about these!! MWAH <3

Can I be super nosy and ask both 🐄 and ❓ for 🍄? 👀👀👀

Hi Mike!!!!!

🐄 - what trope do you feel like you're milking in this particular fic? ❓ - what even is this? Tell me about it -> for mushroom zombie fic

OOOOKAY so remember before season 9 aired when we knew that Buck would be getting An House and speculating that there'd be Tension between he and Eddie but didn't know what that would look like yet? okay yeah pretend we're still back there because that's when I started writing this and I refuse to update the mood/dynamic

anyway we pick up with Buck moving out of Eddie's house and into this sort of isolated little bungalow at the end of an overgrown cul de sac. this house does have a verified murder history, but that was One Time, it's within Buck's budget, and really he can't seem to move out of Eddie's space fast enough. only, once he moves in, he starts withdrawing more.

when he stops coming to work, citing a bad fever, Eddie decides to try and bridge the widening gap between them by bringing over two of Buck's favorite things: Pepa's pozole, and Christopher.

what he finds there is ... maybe not quite Buck, anymore

the trope I'm milking with this one is body horror. i'm a little bit of a pussy about unhappy endings for buddie so the body horror regarding Buck specifically is more subtle, but i've got some other bodies in there (well, hares (tw for harm to animals😔)) that i'm going harder on

Wahhh Mihi this is so cute 🥹

We Oh We (the first song of theirs I heard, love at first sound):

oh hiiiiii!!

so, i have another ask about 🧖 so i'll focus on your 🐠 question:

🌾 what makes this fic grow? what do you need to make it grow? + 🐠 eddie falls asleep at the aquarium

so, my most beloved @queerstark and i were at the odysea aquarium once and they have this rotating aquarium room (and i felt a ROLLERCOASTER of emotions on it, but that's beside the point), and we were sitting in it, learning about the fish, and came up with a whole story about buck, eddie, and chris on their visit to this particular aquarium. and the whole time we were whispering to each other like school children about how eddie makes the same noise as a sea lion when he snores and how much fun they'd have together as a family.

so really, i just need to get back in the groove of it, because we did that thing where we talked the whole thing out, so now it's out, and it's hard to scrape it back in to get it down on the page. but the whole idea is there, we've just gotta carve out some time to do it, i think. really get ourselves back there and remember all of the really sweet, soft things we wrote out loud. plus, we wanted to do it together and not get #divorced, so we each have to finish on what we're working on.

I had not thought about it but you are SO CORRECT

Pre-realisation Eddie seeing it as a "it's not gay because there's a woman involved", post-realisation Eddie wanting to figure out which gender he's attracted to in the most """"straightforward"""" way possible, which is by sleeping with both at the same time?
