2024 Fic Round Up

Tagged by @loucifersbitch - thank you so much!! 🩷

This year I wrote 20 fics and a total of 36,619 words (I haven't included the 2x Destiel ones here as there's enough to list already!)

JULY

Like A Circus Wheel | saltommy | E | 1432 wds.

"He's insinuating that you're gay." Tommy looks over at Sal’s smart-ass smirk and for a second he’s frozen. Sal’s expression doesn’t change but something in his eyes feels like a challenge.

Show You Off | Bucktommy | E | 2083 wds

“Maybe we should move this to the bedroom?” he murmurs. “Otherwise we’re gonna be giving the neighbours a show.” Buck’s mouth is suddenly bone-dry. Memories of a mis-spent exhibitionist youth suddenly flood back and his breath shallows, mouth falling open a little, cock twitching as he swallows hard. Tommy pulls back and looks him in the eye, eyebrow raised. “Oh. You like that idea baby?”

Keys to Fit Our Locks | saltommy | T | 1133 wds.

Tommy comes home to something surprising. Just some soft, silly, sort-of-established Saltommy.

AUG

Every Little Sacrifice | saltommy | E | 3335 wds

Tommy jumps down from the engine the moment it stops, already heading to the gear racks as the rest of the team clamber out behind him, the stench of melted plastic and hot metal surrounding them. He needs to get away from the smell, it’s choking him, filling his throat. He coughs, trying to clear out the memory. Sal flashes him his most charming grin, blue eyes bright in his soot-streaked face, and claps him on the shoulder as he passes. Tommy doesn’t stop and doesn’t meet his confused gaze, his jaw muscles tick as he bites back the fury thrumming through his veins. He strips off his turnouts in record time and heads up the stairs without a backward glance.

Honey I'm Home | bucktommy | T | 762 wds

“Hey honey I’m home,” Buck murmurs to himself, half-falling through the door into the dark entrance hall of Tommy’s house. The whole day has been a seemingly endless stream of small, silly calls, each bell draining more and more of his energy, leaving him a shell of the man he was when he left that morning. It had been a great morning too. Two orgasms before he’d even had his coffee had seemed like a pretty promising start to the day and then he’d spent most of his shift on a constant simmer, half hard in his turnouts because his boyfriend, who was having the opposite sort of day at work, decided it would be a good idea to send him shirtless selfies taken in the Harbor locker room that would have been rejected from the firefighter calendar for being too pornographic.

Calendar Boy | bucktommy | E | 2505 wds

“What’s up baby?” Tommy asks, concerned, walking over to kiss the side of his head. “It’s the most insufferable time of the year,” Hen mutters, not looking up. Tommy looks down at the photos covering the table and stops short, blinking in surprise. Oh. “It’s the LAFD calendar,” Evan says, as if that explains everything, which, in a way Tommy supposes it does. Tommy’s eyes widen as he takes in the piles of pictures of semi-- and, in some cases, more than semi-- naked Evan that are spread across it. He swallows awkwardly, his tongue all of a sudden seeming too big for his mouth, and manages an only-slightly-strangled, “Oh?”

Solace | bucktommy | T | 615 wds

Buck comes home to Tommy after a very bad day.

Title: Mm, So, Not Like That...

Summary: (5+1) Five times Buck and Tommy pick out terrible anniversary gifts for each other and one time one of them gets it right.

(Co)Author Note:

Happy bucktommy kissaversary, to those who celebrate! Can’t believe it’s been a (w)hole year since these two smooched, inspired me to write again - when I thought that part of my brain had fizzled out, and resulted in me making some of the most kind, funny, encouraging, thoughtful, creative, collaborative, open minded, inspired & inspiring pocket friends 🥰

Whether we talk every day (except for Fridays!); sporadically, or just.. passively play tag in likes and reblogs; I’m happy we are all part of this subsection of fandom 💜 It’s quite special!

One year ago today i came home from work having received devastating news that a sick colleague had been moved from hospital to hospice care. There was a patch of afternoon sun pouring through my bedroom window so I lay down on my bed and soaked it up, opening Tumblr to try to distract myself temporarily from the awfulness of reality.

I think it's safe to say that it worked.

Tumblr was absolutely blowing the fuck up and even though for months afterwards I would claim that I got sucked into the wildness of the bi Buck celebration, the truth was I saw that tornado of queer joy, for bi Buck, for Tommy, for a show that already featured queer characters, that had been on my 'intending to watch' list for some time, I saw that maelstrom of excitement and I threw myself headfirst into it like Buffy off that tower in 'The Gift'.

I guess you could say I did this to myself 😂

I'm never going to stop praising oliver and lou for their performance in the first kiss, it's truly one of the most beautiful first kisses I've seen on TV.

like, knowing lou had that much sensibility for buck that he wanted to change the original idea (a makeout) and turned it into that tender, perfect first kiss? makes me emotional. and the way oliver went about the scene? buck's initial reaction? the way we can see in his face how his world has been changed by tommy? and the tears building up in the end as he finally breathes, a changed man? it's all also tied together by their insane chemistry too (that has only gotten better in time).

I'm also not forgetting the director and cinematographer. lowe and sedillo did a fantastic job in the way they constructed this scene. how the characters start at opposite ends, behind an island and a table, and slowly make their way towards each other until they're chest to chest? the kiss being framed in a way that takes your breath away? truly a spectacular job on their part. it's a moment from the show I'll never, ever forget. I'm happy I got to live in a world where it happened.

Today, one year ago, this happened. This sweet, chaste yet memorable kiss between Buck and Tommy, and they have lived rent-free in my head ever since. I don't know where the journey will take them, but I'm happy and grateful for the sweet and bittersweet moments Lou and Oliver gave us so far. I'm definitely ready for more 🤍

I’ve been waiting for this.

I deleted my other post because I realised it made it sound like I made this meme - which I didn’t! Finally found the original post but can’t find my reblog sadly.

Anyway this meme was how I first found out about bucktommy. I remember reblogging it like - I don’t go here but I’m so happy for you all! - hadn’t watched 911 a day in my life and barely knew who Evan Buckley was!

I think I wrote my first 911 fic a month and a half later. Now look at me 😆🤦‍♀️

JK. I love it here ❤️🥰

Anonymous asked:

What is it about bucktommy that turns the chillest people absolutely horrible menaces? None of you even sound like you like ANYTHING about the show besides Tommy and how buff his actor is.

I'm more sorry than I can feasibly put into words that we're all watching the very serious freeway shark/dead wife doppelgänger show Incorrectly™.

From now on, whenever they introduce an interesting, good-looking character, I promise I shall avert my eyes anytime they're on screen and think only about Behr's 2023 Color of the Year.
