Choices and Regrets, Chapter 4

Title: Choices and Regrets, Chapter 4: Stress Fractures

Fandom: 911, Dark Matter

Pairings: Buddie, HenRen, other pairings

Summary:

If you could go back and change the choices in your life, would you?  Would you love the same people, go on the same vacations, have the same career? Or would you have regrets?

After the lightning strike, an unexpected visitor makes Buck question all the choices he’s ever made. From dropping out of the Seals to never making a move on Eddie because the time hasn’t been right. He’s going to get an up close and personal look at what could have been because another version of Buck is focused on taking his choices away from him—including Eddie and Christopher Diaz. 

Tags/warnings: dark themes, dubious consent, explicit sex, kidnapping, murder, major character death, drug use, identity fraud

Buck stands awkwardly under the light, blinking at Eddie, not understanding his question. “What?” Eddie, seemingly realizing they are in public, marches past him. His shoulders are rigid, and he’s jutting out his jaw, which means he’s biting his tongue. “Fine. We’ll talk in the truck if you need to continue this charade.” “Eddie, I’m not faking,” Buck protests, following along behind his best friend. Eddie might be mad, but he slows down to match Buck’s hobbling pace. The look Eddie shoots over his shoulder at Buck is of disbelief, and it hurts to see it aimed at him.   “Sure.” “I’m not,” Buck protests weakly.  He’s not pouting. He’s too old to pout, according to Eddie, and it just makes him look constipated.  “Whatever you learn in squid school, did it also give you a personality transplant? Or are you just that good of an actor?” “I’m not acting!” Buck is starting to get offended. Eddie should trust him, and this flagrant suspicion of his is wrong in all the worst ways.

The job is good because it gives me somewhere to go in the daytime, somewhere that isn’t the sea. The sea is where you are, your domain. I forsook that right when I swam to shore that day, when I left you there. In some ways it's like keeping you company, when I sit and watch the waves. It feels like you are trying to talk to me, when I hear the sea at night. I don’t think I want to hear what you have to say though. Besides, you talked enough when you were alive.  I know you aren’t here, at the pool. I know for a fact that your body still has not washed up, and you are gone. Completely gone. Still, there are several types of ghost. What is left of you, and what is remembered of you—and I can remember you anywhere.  A child shoves another child and I try to keep my face under control, stop it from smiling. Perhaps they will become best friends. Perhaps they will never speak to each other again. Perhaps I will get fired for not dealing with what is quickly escalating into a fight.  Because having two drownings on my conscience isn’t ideal, I do eventually interfere. I put both girls in time out, and nod at the other lifeguard who hates me. Not that there’s proof of this, but most people hate me these days. I imagine you do, I imagine you seething at the bottom of the ocean, plotting some elaborate revenge. I imagine you showing up on my doorstep dripping wet every night, just to torment me.  Of course whenever I look out the window, no one is there.  I ask the girls why they are fighting, even though I don’t care, and when eventually they both stop talking I tell them that I met my best friend through a fight here. Neither seem interested, because some lifeguard telling her life story is the sort of thing children find tiresome, but I barely speak to anyone these days, and I want to tell someone about you.  They promise to stop fighting, and I tell them I’ll let them back in the pool in ten minutes.

Announce Your Camp NaNoWriMo Project!

The official Camp NaNoWriMo challenge starts on April 1! Camp NaNoWriMo is a virtual writing retreat where you can set your own focused writing goal for the 30 days of April, complete with knowledgeable counselors, fun activities, and groups of both new and old friends. 

How does it work?

1.  Decide on a Goal — During Camp, you can set your own word-count goal (you’re not locked into 50,000 words!), and you can officially tackle any kind of writing project, novel or not. If you want to track a non-word goal like time or pages, here's a handy conversion chart.

2.  Announce Your Project — You have two options for Camp: set a goal for a brand new project, or set a goal for a project you’ve already started. Just be sure to check “Associate with a NaNoWriMo event” and select the current Camp NaNoWriMo event. You'll be able to start updating your word count when Camp officially begins on April 1!

3.  Prepare to Write — You can use Camp to work on any kind of writing project, so check out our Camp Tracks and decide which resources are most useful to you!

What else happens during Camp NaNoWriMo?

Published authors will act as your Camp Counselors, sending advice in Camp Care Packages throughout April. Plus, keep an eye on HQ’s virtual events for a packed schedule of Virtual Write-Ins, webcasts, Zoom meetups, and more.

Find out more about Camp NaNoWriMo.

we need more representation for the people who want to be a part of nanowrimo so bad but do not have the capacity for it. bc personally trying to balance being a full-time student, mental health, a job, and writing over 1,000 words a day is rlly difficult and i have tried for three years to participate but can't ever finish it.

#nanowrimo #nano 2023 #writing #creative writing #writeblr #writers on tumblr #writers #ok but like those of y'all that do it pls tell me ur secrets #also november is just a bad month like i have so many projects and essays due then bc finals are coming up #ily's posts <3

You're doing Nano this year??? 👀Tell us about your project?

I am!! My nano project is called "every fic I've ever started on my google docs all at once" and requires a spreadsheet for me to keep track of. my adhd is loving it.

#ask box #nano 2023 #i love flitting from project to project like a horrible butterfly it's great

(some of these are wips i’ve started but am planning to start from scratch due to not working on them and needing a new approach in order to actually make them work, so if any of these sound familar, that’s probably why)

#i’ve changed up my approach for plotting and planning and shit #and feel actually very confident that i’ll be able to actually complete my nano project this year #ESPECIALLY since it doesnt start for a month and a half and i’m already prepping for it #and by prepping for it i mean i’m trying to pick which wip to do for kt #and once i pick i’ll start actually prepping #nanowrimo #nanowrimo 2023

Books of 2023. ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE by Gabriel García Márquez.

Currently reading! This has been languishing on the TBR for a While™ and came highly recommended by a bookstore coworker. I'm only a couple chapters in, so far, and the family tree is ~Messy~, but the prose is lyrical and lovely!

#books #books of 2023 #one hundred years of solitude #gabriel garcia marquez #yeah i put this one on the imminent TBR for NaNo Voice Purposes lmao #i need something with an omniscient narrator and this was. what i had. #i'm trying to fuzz lit fic and spec fic genre lines with my nano project this year and this was the most likely candidate i had #also dear alan: i'm sorry it's taken me ADDITIONAL years to read this #since the first years after you rec'd it to me lmao #i liked alan a lot even though we didn't work together for very long.... #also (unrelated) i was NOT expecting a chapter focused on one character's dick lmaooo #like sir WHY #but aside from that it's been okay?? readable?? #lowkey nervous reading classics solo because i feel like i'm missing stuff like Context that i'd get in a classroom setting... #i know i can read up on it on my own but consider: I Will Not Do That Probably #so here we are. just me in my bed with this book against the World

Rhapsodic

"I told you, darling, that this was dangerous. You knew-deep down you always knew-that I'm no good." Raisa knew better than to trust someone like him. As unlikely allies navigating a world on the brink of chaos as well as the threat of a monstrous transformation looming over their heads, all it took was one simple word for her to fall.

#nano 2023 #not really stressed about nano more the other things around it and sort of managing my time #funnily I just really want to get all these things done like idk if it’s pressure to do them I just really wanna do them LOLLL #so we’ll see as the month progresses!!!!! but my new technique is to pivot projects if one day isn’t working out #like I haven’t written CS in 2 days bc idk I am tired LOL so pivoted to SG so I have words still #it’s been an experiment in stamina for sure LOLLL

#girlblogging.pdf #nanowrimo 2023 #SPECIFICALLY re: the byler brainrot. i do not have time for that this month if i am going to finish my novel #kinda wanna pin this but i need to have all my urls pinned... #hm ill figure something out #anyway wish me luck #i have so much shit to do and nano hasn't even started yet #also im like a week behind on classes cause of this drama club thing #and that's not getting started on my projects...and social obligations... #oof #im gonna need a lot of strength to survive this month

[mossflower]

ok while i’m ignoring the fact that i have a 9am lecture in six hours does anyone want to listen to me rant about nanowrimo

#so. last year i decided to do it very last minute with zero planning #it was not a good story but i had a lot of fun writing it and!! i actually finished it!! #this year i have planned a story. i have a plot. i have characters that i like. i have themes and settings and all that jazz #but i kinda just want to abandon it and work on an older project!! which is very annoying #the older project is part of a whole damn universe i’ve been developing the past few years. i am Obsessed obsessed with everything abt it #it’s very close to my heart and i really want to make something of it! and i don’t think i’m a competent enough writer to do it justice atm #also if i abandon my current nano project i highly doubt i will ever actually write it #which would be a shame because i like it! it’s a story i would have liked to read when i was like fourteen fifteenish #and tbh would still like to read now #i think actually writing it would be good practice! and i know i would enjoy it #when have i ever not enjoyed anything featuring magic time travel and lesbians. like honestly #i don’t think it’d take long for me to start writing the older project after nanowrimo either #i have a tendency to get stuck in brainstorming hell but i know how it ends. which makes everything much easier to sort #also if i don’t write something featuring the love of my life maria soon i think she will physically claw her way out of my brain #so there’s that <3 #morganposting #nano 2023 #now thats a scary tag to be using

Sooo here's a tiny snippet of the 1.5k words I managed to write this morning:

The movie is paused. “Alright, who caused that smell? We cannot finish this movie if you guys are going to bring in pet skunks or whatever happened,” the event host announces, glancing around the crowd. Everyone’s whispering about the smell, but no one fesses up. “If no one admits guilt, we will cancel the rest of the event,” the host attempts again, but still no one steps up to the plate. So, heaving a sigh, she says, “Alright, then. Event’s cancelled. Go home or to your Halloween parties because this is no longer being run.”
