- It’s Really Good To See You. - It’s Good To See You.

Eddie trying to reach Buck “Hey, just… you just stay with me, okay?”

Real question. Do the 118 know about what happened to Buck and Christopher during the Tsunami?!!?!

Like they must know the basics, the pier, the fire truck, them being separated.

But do they know that Buck saved other people? Do they know that he played eye spy with Christopher to cheer him up? And turned him away from the dead bodies in the water? Do they know he walked for hours trying to find Christopher? That he was injured will looking for him?

More importantly does Eddie know?!?!!

Cause we see that Eddie thinks Buck lost Chris, but doesn’t blame him. But does he know that Buck jumped into the water after Chris something that was damn near suicide?! Does he know the lengths Buck went to try and get Christopher back to him?!!

Cause we never see them discuss this or mention it?!!

And I need them to discuss this. For Eddie to see that Buck will and always has gone to the extremes for Chris. I need Eddie to realise that he made the right choice in putting Buck in his will. I just… I want them to discuss this (not just Buck and Eddie but all the 118)

It's about the posters. It's about pouring the two coffees into one cup. It's about the two bottles of champagne shared between the three of them. It's about comfort after an injury. It's about who you bring home. It's about who you let around your niece. It's about trying. It's about who you trust at your worst, with your worst. It's about growing and becoming better. It's about accountability. It's about learning you deserve to be better. It's about the people who will hold you. It's about love. It's about triangles being the strongest shape.

We might end up real close.

Being a social outcast for being a nerd isn’t that accurate anymore, cause being a nerd is more socially acceptable and cool than 50 years ago. So, consider this: Peter Parker being a social outcast not only cause he is a nerd but also cause he is a trans boy

Thinking about Will insisting to El they'd "fix it together" in the first episode of the season

And how rolling 11 wasn't enough to save everyone in the Curse of Vecna DnD campaign

And how Brenner continually insists El isn't ready

And how we still don't fully understand how or why Will survived the Upside Down in S1

And how Will's psionic connection to the Upside Down has been emphasized over and over as both a saving grace and a weapon

And how I am personally owed a Willel team-up just because so give it to me Duffle bags

buddie scene that keeps me up at night: the hospital convo from fight or flight. we have no idea HOW eddie found out buck tried the cellphone trick with chimney, but his response was to…go directly to buck? let him know he understood the thought process and probably would’ve done the same? be a silent source of support in case athena had more to say? and can we take a moment to reflect on eddie telling buck that there’s one thing different about maddie and doug’s situation this time? that she’s not in it alone because she has buck looking for her? it’s “no matter how bad it got…i always had you” before maddie ever said it.  what the fuck, guys. what the fuck. 

My favourite way of buck coming out to the firefam is someone bringing in LGBTQ+ badges in and buck just goes "sick!" And picks up a bi flag and walks away while everyone else just is shocked in a range of huh? To WHAT!

i can't stop thinking about photographer buck so...

It’s mostly a joke, when Eddie first mentions photography to him. Buck's editing a photo on Lightroom on his phone between calls, a photo of Eddie and Chris at the beach.

It's beautiful and Eddie loves it. Buck took it without them even noticing, the photo being even more special that way. Eddie is laughing at something Chris said, they're both wet from playing on the ocean and they have sand on their arms, hands and shoulders. The sun shining down and making the both of them look golden. The rays of sunshine forming almost a halo around them— the waves at the back making the picture even more breathtaking.

Eddie's half joking, half serious, when he tells Buck to buy a fancy camera to take pictures with.

He didn't think Buck would actually listen to him.

Next thing he knows, Buck's instagram becomes full of digitized film pictures of the 118, their family barbeques at the Grant-Nash's house. Pictures of Chris and Eddie at the beach, of Jee playing at the park, of Maddie laughing at one of Chim's jokes. A lot of pictures of Eddie, too.

Pictures of Eddie, of him rolling his eyes with a hand held out and half covering his face. A picture of Eddie mid-way through a laugh, an easy smile on his face.

And he swears, never before a camera has made his stomach do back-flips the way it does when Buck is trying to take a picture of him.

“I swear, I’ll break that thing if you don’t get that out of my face,” he snaps at him. They're in Eddie's kitchen and he's trying to follow a recipe Linda sent him last week, Buck being an enormous distraction and not helpful at all.

"I like capturing people in crisis, Eddie." Buck smirks, all smug and teasing. Eddie kinda hates him a little bit.

Except for the part where he doesn't hate him at all.

Buck grins, bright and unapologetic and Eddie loves him. So much he aches with it.

"Yeah, okay. Whatever." Eddie rolls his eyes, trying to suppress the fond smile that it's already forming on his face.

Later, he'll see the picture Buck takes. Eddie will be covered in flour, it'll be everywhere. In his arms, his clothes, his cheeks. The kitchen around him a mess of ingredients and half ass attempts at a meal. Eddie looking down with a small, shy smile. The warm, almost orange glow of the kitchen light making him look all soft and golden. Later, he'll see that picture and will think oh.

Oh.

He sees me the same way I see him.

Oh.
