8. Is there a story idea you have that you would love if it could appear fully realized but that you do not think you’ll ever write yourself?

I have a couple ideas in my doc that i just don't want to go back and do the work for. One of them is a Buddie Secret Garden au where Buck is hired by the Diaz parents to fix up the house and Chris is the mysterious kid in the bedroom. I like the idea but honestly I'd rather read it than write it

19. What was the very first fanwork you ever created? (I’m talking like maybe you made a little book out of construction paper and staples with your favorite Disney characters drawn in it when you were five years old or you drew a comic about a movie you saw when you were a preteen. That sort of thing.)

Oh boy ummm probably percy jackson fan art or homestuck? If we're going Back In The Day. um. i wrote a self insert fic in middle school for the series Shifters by Rachel Vincent. No one needs to know what it was about. :) I do have a pretty good Leo Valdez fanart from high school but it wasn't my first, just the only thing that looks nice lol.

7. Share a line or paragraph you’ve written that you don’t think will ever actually be posted in anything! (Or, if you don’t hoard cut sentences and passages like I do, share anything you want that has yet to see the light of day!)

Oh boy do i hoard scraps!

“You could not have picked a worse day to leave Los Angeles.” Buck says. He slides the bolt home on the U-Haul and knocks the doors with his fist twice, like they’re sending off an ambulance.  “I dunno, Buck, it’s only a little water. Could be worse.” Eddie, umbrella balanced on his shoulder, is cramming a cooler into the back seat of his truck, filled with Buck’s home baked goods, Bobby’s cold cut sandwiches, contributions of soda and energy drinks from Hen and Chimney, and a bag of grapes from Maddie, because Chimney bought way too much when she was craving them. Buck has two more bags of them tucked away in Eddie’s—or, Buck supposes, his—fridge. If the sun ever comes out, he’s going to try and make raisins. “Only a little water he says! I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but drivers in LA barely know how to handle the water bottles in their cup-holders—did you know that when it rains in Los Angeles, there’s a 140% increase in the number of accidents? A little water causes that!” Eddie levels him with an unimpressed look, but he’s smiling, which was the goal. Buck noticed about five hours ago, three hours into their very long last day of packing, that the further they got with the house, the more dour Eddie looked. Grumpy has always been a good look on him, in Buck’s humble opinion, but when Eddie started clenching his jaw each time he taped up a box of Chris’s stuff, Buck started worrying. Eddie waves him off. “I’ll be fine, Buck.” He gives the cooler a final shove into the seat. “I’ve driven in worse conditions. Besides, I’ll be going real slow unless I want an entire fridge capsizing onto my front seats.”

thanks for the ask!! these ones really made me think tbh

2. What is your favorite paragraph from (insert story title you want to know about here, or leave it blank for writer’s choice)? Is there a reason it’s your favorite?

not a paragraph that comes to mind but my first ever 911 fic had a metaphor about grief being like a wild animal that will hurt you if you get too close and idk i was proud of that one!

5. Is there a tiny detail in one of your fics that you feel goes tragically unnoticed?

i love leaving little easter eggs and details in my fics but suddenly i can’t remember a single thing i’ve ever written. in wishbone fic there are, unsurprisingly, a lot of wishbone song references! some people have picked up on them and that’s fun hehe

another one i just thought of is in grief group fic when i write the texting scenes, buck always texts like a million messages in a row but eddie is a lot more reserved. even in text he chooses his words carefully, waits for buck to finish his thought/s before replying and when he does he’ll usually keep it quite to the point. HOWEVER!! this changes when he gets too vulnerable—if he says what he wants, or feels like he’s said the wrong thing, he’ll spam a few texts in a row to explain it or cover it up. like once he drops the mask he lets it out and needs to gather himself again

( @circledwithaheart i saw you also asked for 5 - here is the answer my love)

20. Is there anything about any one of your fics that you have been dying to discuss but haven’t had the chance to?

honestly, eddie’s idea of masculinity in grief group fic!!! (spoilers ahead!!)

people have for sure pointed it out but i could talk about it forever - how he still feels like he has to be a provider, above anything else, at all costs. he learned from his dad that thats what’s important and even when he realises he doesn’t like his career, or it’s not good for him, or he could be happier, he still chooses it because it means money and giving christopher an easy life. the difference between eddie and ramon is that when eddie’s kid says “hey, i don’t like that you’re gone all the time” eddie drops it! he comes home and breaks that cycle of neglect in the name of provision.

ooh, this is a fun question!! i'm not sure if there are any i'm willing to die on a hill for (at least none that are inconsequential, i'm pretty open to all variations of buddie!) but one that i firmly believe is that eddie isn't big on using pet names.

he loves when buck calls him baby, or babe, or honey, or sweetie pie, or cupcake. literally anything buck calls him puts little hearts in eddie's eyes. but he's not suuper big on using them in return. he'll come out with his own 'baby' or 'sweetheart' sometimes, but it's not an everyday thing. mostly because it's so ingrained in him to call buck buck and that in itself is a term of endearment, when it comes from eddie.

however!!! he does love to compliment buck on his looks. he's always, like, known buck is an attractive guy. that's just an objective fact. but he's never really allowed himself to look or acknowledge before, so when they get together and he's not only allowed to look, but looking is encouraged!!

I do, thank you for asking! (for reference, these questions are from the ask game from this post)

9. Tell me a piece of gossip. I have no gossip to tell you unfortunately, sorryyyy
