I’ve been struck by divine inspiration and I need everyone to hear me out on this one: Buddie Superman AU

Eddie is Clark Kent, slutty hair strand OBVIOUSLY included, and Buck is Lois Lane, constantly at the mercy of whichever villain-of-the-week and being saved by Eddie in his borderline-spandex super suit.

Buck is in love with Superman, but also struggling with growing feelings for his lovable single dad coworker Eddie?? Give me 800 please. (PLUS EDDIE IN GLASSES????? I’D DIE.)

Obviously the rest of the team can be their fellow Daily Planet reporters, and Lex Luthor can be like. Gerard or someone, I don’t know. But the vision is there!

So, according to RG (and I know how that actually means nothing but whatever) Eddie is going to both “step into fatherhood” and “have his foundations shaken” by the end of the season.

Hear me out.

Whoopsie Daisy Marisol shows up with a baby and it’s Eddie’s! Baby Diaz #2 is officially a member of the cast and Chris is a big brother.

LISTEN. JUST CONSIDER IT. CONSIDER IT.

Idc and don’t wanna think abt canon or the fact that there’s already a new baby this season LET ME DREEAAAM

thinking about a tiktok comment or smth i saw where the person was like “i hope that buddie doesn’t go the booth/brennan route and its all skipped over after so many seasons of slow burn. at least on 9-1-1 it won’t be because someone dies” and i just. im really feeling like they tested the universe with that one.

with luck, this will be a fake-out or coma dream or ‘presumed dead’ sort of situation. i don’t think i can handle anything else PLEASE TIM MINEAR PLEASE

“I don’t have to want to sleep with everyone I have feelings for, and I don’t have to have feelings for everyone I sleep with.”

No no no guys you aren’t hearing him: he doesn’t have to want to sleep with everyone he has feelings for and he doesn’t have to have feelings for everyone he sleeps with.

HE DOESNT HAVE TO WANT TO SLEEP WITH EVERYONE HE HAS FEELINGS FOR. AND HE DOESNT HAVE TO HAVE FEELINGS FOR EVERYONE HE SLEEPS WITH.

OH. MY. FUCKINGGGGG. GODDDDDD.

Evan Buckley do you even think about the words that come out of your own mouth????? No??? WHY AM I FUCKING SHOCKED.

OH MY FUCKING GOD

Well I’m officially three episodes deep into the TV show Evil, and can I just–

You mean to tell me that none these idiots EVER have sex? Not even once??? In ANY configuration?????? THE LIP-STARING ALONE IS KILLING ME ALREADY.

I haven’t been a fan for very long but, yeah, honestly that tracks for these repressed, sexually-guilty freaks. And Ben. He mostly seems fine.

(For now? For now. I’ve seen some… rather bloody spoilers.)

“Everything that matters is in El Paso”

Vs.

“But I hope you know you do matter to me”

That feeling when you suck ass at apologizing or addressing conflict in a healthy way so you simply allude to the fact that you said something hurtful by reassuring your best bro that he does, in fact, matter to you in the same way your son does 🤪 in a completely platonic sense of course. what other option is there. besties for life. ha ha. ha ha ha. ha.

And if I say that I want Eddie and Ravi to bond over being landlords, then what?

Still not over the fact that Buck’s loft is essentially gone? We might see it BRIEFLY next ep as he’s moving out, but even that’s not a guarantee.

Like. The loft is never gonna be seen again. It’s gone-gone. This show is insane. INSANE, I tell you!

Post 8.09 and thinking about a different kind of “oh” moment for Eddie. He’s standing in his (soon-to-be someone else’s) living room and so much is happening his team is in his house and he has to be a salesman and he’s mad at Buck and he doesn’t want to leave but he has to go and suddenly—

Buck is smiling like the day’s been perfect, and not some hollow mirror of five years ago, and three years ago too. He grins, and Buck is Freddy. There is no Freddy. His home isn’t a showroom tonight. Buck is renting. Buck is hiding his hurt and renting. He’s fixing it for Eddie, no questions asked. He’s fixing it. He’s fixing it.

“You really did that for me?”

Of course he did.

Suddenly, and much more clearly than ever before, Eddie knows that Buck loves him. Buck loves Eddie so much that he can feel it turning and pulling at the bottom of his stomach, sort of nauseating and overwhelming and terrifyingly real and certainly undeserved; it’s dread as much as its fear as much as its gratitude.

Buck loves Eddie. And now Eddie has to leave.

He has to give that up because he cannot, under any circumstance, choose Buck over his son. Buck said it himself, it’s not even a question. He’s going to Texas and he’ll be with his son but he’ll be without his biggest supporter and best friend, the person who may just love him the most in the entire fucking world, for God knows how long. Weeks. Months? Years?

And for the second time that week, Eddie thinks that he doesn’t know what he’s gonna do without Buck.
