Hello, Sadie here! Basically, I'm an aerospace engineering nerd with a passion for my favorite fandoms. I've made a list that can be found at the link on the top left, but that is definitely incomplete! I'll add to it...
Upcoming Conventions: š¤·š¼āāļø If you're gonna be at the same con as me, let me know! :D
Chapters: 1/? Words: 6.8k/? Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Pairing: Buddie Triggers/Warnings: Canon Traumatic Events for Buck (like…all of them)
Summary:
Buck is struggling; he has been for a while. As every new trauma in his life piles up, Buck finds himself increasingly needing to talk to someone about it. He’d had Dr. Copeland for a while, but she’d retired and he couldn’t muster up the energy to find someone else.
He should talk to Eddie. After all, Eddie had been present for or involved in so much of Buck’s recent trauma, it made sense that he’d be the easiest one to talk to about it. But Eddie had made so much progress with Frank, and Buck wasn’t about to interfere with that because of his own problems.
Buck could—would deal with it. He’d suck it up and carry on.
Unfortunately for Buck, his life was hardly ever that easy.
Or, Buck gets stuck in a time loop knot reliving his greatest traumas.
I know it's been years since you probably worked on this one but do you think you'll ever work on "Life's Curse, Death's Gift" again? I got really into it and binged it so I was just wondering. If not, do you have any other DPxHP crossovers you'd recommend?
The short answer is yes I’ll definitely work on LCDG again, but the timeline for that depends on a lot. Writing in general has been non-existent lately due to IRL/work obligations, but my love for this fic and my desire to continue it hasn’t gone away. I know it’s been years since a chapter was released, but the best I can offer is that I intend to continue writing it.
Unfortunately I can’t really recommend other crossover fics; I mostly tried to avoid them because I didn’t want to accidentally pull on common tropes for these fandoms. I wanted to force myself to build my own world 😅
i just found one of your stories on ao3 by a tag and noticed it had a chapter left and hadn't be updated in a while, and that your last post was around the same time. are you still writing? do you think you'll come back? most importantly though, i hope you're okay!
Thank you for reaching out! I’m okay for the most part, but writing has been a struggle, largely because of work. For a while I was working an absurd amount of overtime and just didn’t have the energy for anything else after work. Since then, even though my overtime requirements have been less, work has still been very draining. I got a promotion a couple months ago and as much as I still love my job, this position adds another layer of mental fatigue and makes it hard to refocus on the fun things that I want to do with my free time (mainly writing).
In general, I learned from past experience that I shouldn’t post fics unless they’re finished or if I “know for sure” that I’m gonna finish them. The exception to that is LCDG because I started that fic 15 years ago now (yikes…) so it predated that rule 😅 That said, I still have a couple unfinished fics, like the one that brought you here, and in those cases the fics are finished in my brain, I know how they’re supposed to finish, it’s simply a matter of finding the time and energy to get those thoughts down on paper (or on my computer).
I know that’s hard to hear as a reader, that the fic you want to finish reading is finished in the author’s head and they just haven’t had the chance to post it yet. And trust me when I say it’s just as frustrating for me as well 😅 I want nothing more than to finish those fics and post a finished product that I’m proud of and readers enjoy (hopefully lol). I miss the days where I had a spare moment (or several) at work where I could write fic then, but my responsibilities now just don’t allow for that extra time.
With a couple other responsibilities I have in my life hopefully concluding in the next couple months, I’m optimistic that I’ll feel that creative spark and start writing again with the newly freed up time and mental bandwidth. But that’s the best I can offer at the moment.
Sign-ups are currently OPEN for the third annual 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star Reverse Bang! You may be wondering:Ā What is a reverse bang?
In a typical fandom Big Bang, fic is written first and then art is created for the fic. In a Reverse Bang, the art is created first and then fic is created for the art. Creators will have up to six months (depending on when they sign up) to create any of the accepted forms of art for fic to be written from! Once matched, writers will have three months to work with their artists to create a fic with a minimum word count of 5K.
Please check out ourĀ RULESĀ andĀ CALENDARĀ pages for more info, but the most important thing to know is thatĀ sign ups are open right now!Ā You can sign up as an artist/creator and/or as a writer! Sign ups will be open untilĀ March 31st.
If you have any questions, please donāt hesitate to shoot us anĀ ask! But check out theĀ FAQsĀ first because that might already answer your question :)

Thank you to last yearās participants for filling out our exit survey! Weāve got a couple changes in mind that we think will help the process for everyone, but weāll detail those as we get closer so we donāt overwhelm y'all with information.
New this year: We are requiring that participants join the Discord server this year to have a centralized form of communication.
Hello friend, I know this is a li g shit Question but do you think you will go back and continue Life's Cruse, Death's Gift? It is one of my favorite fics. If not thank you for enjoyment of creating it!
Will I go back? Yes, absolutely. When? …Much more of an unknown.
I’m not exaggerating when I say I have this fic on my mind constantly, even if the update pace doesn’t reflect that. It’s just that finding the time and energy to sit down and write has been a significant challenge lately, especially with how much overtime I’ve been pulling at work (just this calendar year I’ve worked over 150 hours of OT). I love my job, but that much extra work at an already stressful job takes a lot out of me, and I’m at a point of my career where I can’t sneak an hour or two during the day to write like I used to be able to. In fact, I haven’t been able to publish/write anything in almost a year now, let alone work on LCDG as much as I want to.
I miss writing a lot, and I want things at work to calm down to support getting back to that. And the most I can promise is that when that happens, LCDG will absolutely still be on the list.
Thank you so much for reading and for your kind words!!
