listen, as the contemporary philosopher Justin Bieber once said, I LOVE ARM

Oh Anon, pues claro, my dearest, here you go, just a few (mostly immortal husbands):

da adesso fino all'eternità

Kidnapping for Dummies

A fair fight is nothing but bad tactics

hallelujah, you're still mine

the common tongue of your loving me

The Two Sides of Forever

fearfully and wonderfully made

greater love has no one than this

Let me just hold you for a while

Eddie wakes up with a start, his body jerking awake before his mind can catch up. Buck is thrashing on his chair beside him. Limbs going rogue and throaty wails erupt from him and break Eddie’s heart.

“Eddie, Eddie,” Buck yells and Eddie doesn’t know what to do. 

He can’t get up from his bed, body too tired to respond to any command. He tries his voice but it’s all raspy, “Buck, stop, stop.” 

He continues to watch Buck flail uncontrollably, feeling more and more unfit to help his friend, desperation gnawing at his soul. He coughs and tries again, clearing his voice, “Please, Buck, it’s me, Eddie. Please.”

Buck stops all motion and goes stiff on the chair, eyes wide open, he looks lost, staring into nothing, “Eddie?”

“Yeah,” Eddie sighs in relief and shuffles in his bed. 

Buck straightens himself up on the chair and lets his elbows rest on his knees, his torso hanging loose forward, head slack. He rubs his face with his hands, “I’m sorry,” he whispers and a sob escapes his lips.

Once the first sob escapes, Buck can’t seem to rein it in anymore and breaks down.

“Shh, it’s ok. Come here,” Eddie pats the free space on his bed, “Come on, just let me hold you for a while.”

Buck pushes himself off the chair and walks up to the bed, unsure, standing still when he reaches it. He looks back at Eddie and closes his eyes.

“Come on,” Eddie tugs at his wrist, and Buck carefully lays down beside him. 

Once upon a time we had a chat on discord about pilot!Eddie and flight attendant!Buck

My brain for some reason went straight to Elizabethtown and switched Eddie from pilot to passenger going to his ex wife funeral?

The file is empty and there are no words written yet but I've made a promise to @matan4il I'll write it in exchange for.... goodies 👀👀👀

Actual dialogue: “You two have an adorable son.”

Somewhere around Buck’s party during 3x01 we have Buck’s first retelling:  “And then the Elf said ‘You two have an adorable son.’”

We get into season 4, they get a call around Xmas and Buck’s talking to some woman who was flirting with Eddie before and he goes with the second retelling: “And then the Elf said ‘You and your partner have an adorable son.’”

And then, by the end of season 5, while Buck’s fantasizing about confessing his feelings for Eddie, we get his third retelling: “And then the Elf said ‘You and your boyfriend have an adorable son.’”

By season 6 the story starts to get a little more flashy, and right after Buck and Eddie make it official we can hear Buck’s fourth retelling: “And then, after the fountain splashed around us filling the night sky with colored water the Elf said ‘You and your husband have an adorable son. Such a cute little family.’”

For the series finale the story is completely out of control, and it’s the fifth and final retelling:  “And then, after the fountain splashed around us filling the night sky with color representing how my heart felt every single time I was around these two, the Elf looked me in the eye, grabbed me by the wrist and said ‘You seem like a perfect family, with your husband and your son. You look so happy and content. I wish I could have that. It’s all I ever wanted, to have a family with me forever. That will hold my hand when I’m scared and give me a shoulder to cry on when I’m sad. That will take all of me, with my good days and my bad days. I want that. So, please, I beg of you, never ever let them go.’ And so I never did.”

Listen. LISTEN. Lincoln Lee is everything that is right in this world, ok?

Just. Look at him.

And I cannot believe myself when I think about how on Earth I forgot about my love for him. HOW. It's unforgivable.
