#also give me more of probie!

[faerlygraceful]

So I rewatched all of the “Begins” episodes last night and it only managed to cement my head canons about Tommy, which began forming after we saw him again.

Of course I don’t know if they thought this was going to be where the character ended up when they filled the firehouse back in season 2. I don’t know what Lou thought about his character. I don’t know what the intentions were. What I am doing (since this is my head canon), is taking new knowledge and using it to recategorize previous interactions. I’m queer, it’s what we all do.

So I’m going to share my analysis with all of y’all cause this is the internet, and I’m allowed.

Spoilers for… well everything.

Tommy is one of the three characters who shows up in all three Begins episodes, the other two being Athena and Sal DeLuca. His first appearance in the show is Hen Begins, but as we know Chimney Begins is chronologically first, so we’re starting there.

Chimney Begins

1) We first see Tommy when probie Howie walks in. He doesn’t seem to notice that Howie is a probie, asking who didn’t tip the takeout guy. Gerrard quickly takes the role of antagonist, and that’s when we move on.

2) At one point when they’re coming back from a call after Howie has been there a while, Tommy says, in a surprised tone, “You’re still here?” I think this is less of a, “You don’t belong here,” and more of a, “You’ve been here for weeks/months and haven’t been out once, I would have quit, why haven’t you?”

3) While man behind, Howie helps a guy who was having indigestion and a panic attack at the same time. When the rest get back, Howie tries to bond with them over the call, but is ignored. They are talking about takeout options and Gerrard asks Tommy, when his girlfriend is supposed to come in and cook. Tommy sounds extremely contained during this interaction, gives a a day, and when pressed he stammers and promises. The conversation fades off so we don’t hear what he promises, but he didn’t seem all that enthusiastic about his girlfriend coming in.

- Now this is where we really start getting into my hcs. Either Tommy is bi (which we’ll hopefully find out tomorrow) or he’s closeted. The tightness in his voice (which is all we have to go on because the camera is focused on the POV character), tells me that he’s extremely uncomfortable with the interaction. He’s been put on the spot, and he doesn’t like it. I think the girlfriend is either a) a friend he’s brought by the house once and everyone inferred or b) someone he manufactured in order to get out of team events ie, “Oh I can’t go out tonight, my girl is cooking.” He is uncomfortable with what his boss (a confirmed bigot) is asking for, and the man is pressuring him to produce his beard. If she was actually his girlfriend and Tommy is also bisexual, it could just be that’s he’s uncomfortable exposing her to the environment that the 118 is at that point.

4) Howie starts to try and broach the barriers between himself and the other firefighters, only to be rebuked. At one point he corners Tommy in the locker room, and starts naming off all these topics, stating, “Tell me what your thing is and I’ll make it mine.” Talking about his formidable people skills and asking if that means Tommy just didn’t like him that much.

Tommy tells him, “If I thought about you at all, I probably wouldn’t.” Which tells me that Tommy has already built his mask, his persona, and since the others don’t try to look beyond the surface he’s able to maintain it, but he can’t afford to let anyone in. He can’t think about the new guy on the squad, he’s too busy making sure Gerrard doesn’t find out about his closet. That would be just another person to have to hide from anyway.

This is when Howie gets pulled for the ambulance. Eli tells him that it’s not personal, because friends die and funerals are held. Which makes me also think that Howie stepped into the shoes of a firefighter who died. Maybe one who Tommy was particularly close to? Eli goes on to call Howie a puppy who doesn’t get a name until they know it’s gonna come through.

The next thing that happens is Kevin Lee’s death. Which is incredibly sad and is a big part of how Howie develops as a firefighter, but this meta is Tommy focused so moving on.

5) The garage collapse at the mall, and Tommy almost dies. More to it, Howie saved him. So Tommy decides to share some things with Howie. “Love Actually, monster trucks, and craft beer”. Maybe not a coming out story, but he did declare that one of his favorite movies is a rom com. It’s a start.

Hen Begins

1) Tommy is first seen when Hen walks into the house. He’s comes up to the railing after Gerrard calls for everyone and is positioned between the captain and DeLuca. Now it’s my personal opinion that DeLuca is an ass and that’s backed up by these episodes but even Hen defends him in Bobby Begins Again, and that started with this episode. But again, we’re not here to get into Sal DeLuca’s headspace, this is about Tommy. When Gerrard calls Hen an “diversity” hire, we see Tommy looking very uncomfortable, and Sal is the one to take up some of Captain’s dirty work for him (“For real?”). This is the episode where I truly see Tommy as “falling in line” with the captain. He’s opened up a little to Howie (no nickname yet), a little more inclined to joke, but still is holding these boundaries.

2) DeLuca talks about taking his girl to see some vampire movie and Tommy immediately knows it’s Twilight. DeLuca talks about how he likes Kristen Stewart (with Hen agreeing) before saying something about getting behind that, which makes Hen uncomfortable. (According to this, it would put it in 2008, which means she’s a paramedic for ten years prior to Buck joining which I hate. All those movies came out rather fast but could all be classified as “Twilight” so it was probably at least Eclipse in 2010 especially with the references made…. But then we start to go into how much I hate this timeline because nothing makes sense ever) Tommy talks about how he doesn’t understand the attraction to KS because she’s too… (Sal puts in hot here) broody, and Sal asks him if that means he’s Team Jacob (which is what makes me think it’s at least during Eclipse, I don’t see DeLuca being a Twi-Hard, and so his frame of reference would be movie based), and when Tommy acts confused (not sure if an act or not, he knew what Twilight was, but that doesn’t mean he knows about Team Edward vs Team Jacob), Chimney confirms that he’s implying that Tommy is gay. You. See. Him. Freeze. There is a few seconds where Tommy freezes in place like he’s processing before he makes a joke, blowing a kiss at Sal before laughing. Gerrard puts a stop to the conversation, and Hen takes a seat.

— Remember when Tommy has buried himself in the closet? What happened when someone rattles the door with a gay joke? One where it’s being implied that you are gay? When you’re bigot of a boss is sitting not five feet from you at the same table? You freeze to not immediately deny the accusation in a way that would make you look sus, and then you make a joke out of it. It hurts, so much.

———-Ah shit I’m going to timeline this———

From what we know, Tommy was in the army as a pilot. For Timeline purposes we’re going to assume that Eli leaving is the reason Hen went to the 118. During her med student arc it talks about how she was a paramedic for 10 years, so 2012 makes sense there. It doesn’t make sense with other thing’s because in Lonestar’s Hold the Line (2021 would make this make sense), Hen tells Owen that Denny is 10 and she and Karen and her were married for 8 years, (Same sex marriage has only been legal in CA since 2013). Bobby was their captain for a year in Worst Day Ever, they had a captain parade for two years (six captains) and before that they had a someone who was cleaning up after Gerrard. Also Hen and Karen were freshly back together when DADT was repealed. That makes Denny a baby on September 20th of 2011.

Enlistment periods are 8 years but that’s a mix of active and inactive duty. If Tommy signed up out of high school (18), was an active duty pilot for 6 years (24) and then moved to the reserves for the remaining two while he became a firefighter, it means he could have been a firefighter for two years longer than Hen or Chimney while being less than 10 years older than Buck.

Now none of this helps in placing where these episodes fall in the timeline, but I would say that Bobby’s first day falls about a year before the pilot, and Chimney Begins and Hen Begins butt right up together. Also I have no more information on Eli and how long he stayed after training Chim, and I probably never will because I cannot watch Boston.

More timeline BS. Hen and Karen had to have gotten together during the captain parade because Gerrard would not have let her on a call where she got hurt enough that Chim would make the call to Karen.

——————— Timeline bs over ——————

3) Tommy asks about how “New York bitchiness” could be a compliment after Howie mentioning that she has an East coast vibe, and Hen thanks him for the compliment. And then Howie makes it seem like Tommy’s calling her bitchy, but I don’t see it that way. What’s more likely is that’s the only vibe he knows from the east coast, so when Howie suggests she has it, he’s like, wait you think that’s a compliment? Howie treats it like Tommy’s calling Hen a bitch, but it honestly didn’t come off that way, more like Tommy trying to clarify that Howie wasn’t calling Hen a bitch by saying she has an “East Coast Vibe”. Anyway this conversation quickly devolves in Gerrard being a misogynist, and Tommy and DeLuca quickly scamper off.

4) Not Tommy related, but we do have someone with insight into being an openly gay firefighter now. Casey with the 115. He says that they knew he was gay from the moment he walked in, and it didn’t matter that he was the strongest guy in the firehouse. Here we have proof that it doesn’t matter your qualifications, if you’re perceived as gay, you’re automatically singled out. He said it was so hard that he was told to quit and find a new dream by his partner. Now, there is a red flag about your SO tellingly you to give up your dreams, but can you imagine how bad it would have been for the boyfriend to get to that point? The person you care about coming home every night defeated and downtrodden over something that’s supposed to be his dream? The ease in which Casey shed the boyfriend makes me think that they weren’t together long enough to earn those privileges, but the job also gets a red flag for being so bad that you’d advise your short term boyfriend to quit.

5) Hen’s speech. During this we don’t see him often, because he’s off to the side. The camera is more focused on Gerrard, DeLuca and Howie for the most part. But he does seem very closed off, when you do see him, his arms crossed, not standing defensively or challengingly like DeLuca, but like he’s trying to shrink. Actually it kind of reminds me of another queer firefighter that we all know.

6) We don’t get to see much more of the reactions because we go immediately into a call where a party limo crashed into a flower truck. Which we only know about because Hen went looking for it, saving the life of a little boy. Tommy tells her good job, that they would have discovered the secondary wreck eventually but that it would have been too late. She also has now earned Sal’s respect.

7) When they get back the Chief is there. Now remember, she gave her speech, they went out, they come back out and Gerrard is being removed. Nothing that happened on that call or involving her speech has anything to do with this. She thinks she’s being fired, that Gerrard called while heading to or back from the scene to have her removed, but that’s not the case. Her speech wasn’t actually necessary because everyone was already complaining about how Gerrard treated her. They even talk about someone who compared Gerrard and his behavior to hemorrhoids. Which I’m not saying could be from the army pilot who was probably deployed and had to undergo long-term constipation or diarrhea, but it could be.

Now all in all, there nothing really bad about Tommy’s behavior that we’ve seen. He doesn’t approach Hen, but we’ve seen from her interactions with Howie that she barely accepts his overtures of friendship in the beginning, and Tommy is much more closed off, remembering how he only opened up to Howie after he saved his life. He also doesn’t stand up for Hen to the captain’s face, but as an Army guy, he follows the chain of command. Doesn’t mean he won’t file one or two or three complaints through the proper channels. He just can’t afford to put himself in Gerrard’s crosshairs, can’t afford to undergo his scrutiny.

Bobby Begins Again

1) Hen has started a betting pool on the newest captain. Over under is 6 weeks, making me think that that’s the least amount of time a Captain stayed (about a month and a half and if they had 6 captains in 2 years that’s an average of 4 months). Tommy gives Nash a month and has to run to the ATM. DeLuca is obviously the main antagonizer, it sounds like he wanted the 118 and was denied (Also ABC, maybe bring him back ala Billy Tyson? Might be fun.).

2) Tommy has never worked on a farm, or dealt with toddlers. Cause he was floundering and falling all over himself when trying to catch Maurice the rooster. All in all these calls don’t show much. Tommy follows Bobby’s instructions, even though part of time he’s just parroting what Sal says, no arguments. Adds further credibility to the fact that he follows chain of command. It doesn’t matter that this guys only going to last a month, he’s my captain now.

3) During the Guillermo’s fire, Sal breaks rank to save the kid (which considering who that kid grows up to be, it sucks that he was successful). But when Bobby takes him to task for endangering them all, Sal doubles down. I thought I was paying attention during this scene, but it’s hard with the yelling. At least two people try to get him to cool it, one of them being Chimney who calls DeLuca “Fredo”.

4) They’re all at the bar, talking about Sal getting fired when Bobby shows up and the vibes change. Now sometime over the past twoish years Tommy is single, and it seems chronically at least to the house. Maybe because Gerrard is gone he doesn’t have to maintain a beard anymore, but with the endless captain parade and DeLuca being a tool, he doesn’t feel comfortable coming out? I think he’s also classified the 118 as unsafe, so maybe this lended a reason for his later transfer. But as he says, “Single is easier. Having the scars impresses women, getting ‘em freaks ‘em out.” Which gives heavy implications that like Buck in season one, Tommy isn’t dating but hooking up. If he’s gay, then his partners would have to be okay with the fact that he’s still closeted. And mention of women aside, it’s implied that a longer term relationship ended because he got hurt on the job. (This is why I don’t ascribe to the Tommy dated Abby theory. She implied that her relationship ended because of Patricia, and Tommy implies his last was due to injury. Which could be. He got hurt on the job and she couldn’t handle care giver burden for both of them? But that’s also turning Abby into Shannon Diaz pt 1 and while I dislike both women, they don’t need to be same character different font.) Here’s what I think. He got hurt on the job, and his long term boyfriend couldn’t even go to the hospital to check on him because he wasn’t out to his crew, causing them to break up.

Also for all you Buck/Tommy writers, Tommy canonically has a scar on his right side from a piece of shrapnel that he caught. He says it’s from a factory explosion. I don’t have the ability to get screen shots atm, but it’s pretty.

5) Tommy quotes Fight Club with Chim. So maybe another victim of the Han School of Movie References?

6) Bobby starts with family dinners. Tommy decides to transfer. The cake says, “The 217’s lose is our gain,” and they push his head into it.

The very next scene is Buck walking into the 118.

So all in all, we see Tommy as a deeply guarded character. He doesn’t open up easily, he follows orders, he has a soft side. I don’t really know how to conclude this because I sprinkled my impressions throughout, but I hope that this helps anyone who’s looking for Tommy characterization, and we’ll see tomorrow if any of this is right.

A (Mostly) Accurate Timeline of Tommy Kinard

Referencing Lou’s interview with Tommy’s Backstory, his actual age, the dates in Chimney Begins and Bobby Begins Again (with rough estimates of Hen Begins because those cute fuckers didn’t give me a date title card), and the ways that the characters interact with him.

(Lou's) Date of Birth: November 10, 1984.

1984 - 2001: Tommy was an awkward, overweight kid when he was younger. He flourished in classes such as shop, where he could use his hands and create things and didn't necessarily need to talk to anyone. Then he hit a growth spurt, got taller, and joined the football team. Tommy quickly becomes an all star football guy who stands up for any kids who were like him when he was younger.

Tommy says in 7x04 that he flew helicopters for the army before he was a firefighter.

2001 - 2005: In 2001, Tommy would have been seventeen. September 11th was likely the impetus for joining the army, which he could have done as soon as it was his birthday. Basic training is ten weeks for the army, slightly longer if he was aiming for a specialized group. Army tours of duty are between six and twelve months. He could very easily have gone through basic, done between two and four tours in Afghanistan, and still joined the fire academy so that he has just finished his probationary year when Chimney comes to the 118. **updated: I've been reliably informed by multiple sources that a pilot would have to spend a minimum of five years with the army, and to that I can only say that the writers must be blamed for their timeline. ;) let us assume that there was a reason (good or bad) that Tommy only served four years and I will not speculate as to which in this post because that crosses over from a timeline to headcanons and I want everyone to be able to use this if they want. (please see this post for slightly more detail on my reasoning.)**

2006: 22 years old.

Chimney spends between ten and twenty-four weeks at the fire academy, so Chimney comes into the station in 2006/2007, depending on the time of year (c’mon guys give me something it’s LA and you don’t really have weather out there) and the episode covers most of his probationary year. Most likely it is two years from start to finish, as Chimney does spend part of the episode doing things other than starting at the fire academy.

Tommy is probably the probie who came in just before Chimney, and would have just finished his probationary year. There is a scene in the early part of the episode where Gerrard asks when Tommy’s girlfriend is coming by to cook dinner, but there’s also an offhand comment that she’s never been by the house before so who really knows if there was a girlfriend at all.

Sal DeLuca seems to be Tommy’s senior partner, the same way that Eli is Chimney’s senior partner, so they were probably paired up to show him the ropes when he showed up at the firehouse. Tommy definitely takes his cues from Sal, who takes his cues from Gerrard. Tommy is a bit of a bully because of who he is modeling himself after and the culture that he feels he has to assimilate into but he also does look uncomfortable at a lot of the jokes directed towards Chimney, and you catch him throwing a look to check on Chimney at the funeral in the flashback. After Chimney saves his life Tommy does reach out – awkwardly, but he still reaches out, and even asks Eli about him at the end of the episode.

2010: 26 years old. 

Hen has just arrived at the 118. These dates are based on the Twilight movie joke about being Team Jacob and the fact that Taylor Lautner was 18 when Eclipse came out (2010) and most of us agreed during the first two movies that we would not make gross jokes about minors, right guys? Right Sal? Tommy doesn’t react violently to the gay joke which could be proof that he’s comfortable with who he is even if he hasn’t told anyone. If he’d been truly insulted or grossed out by the joke it’s more likely he would have protested rather than blowing a kiss at Sal.

Tommy is splitting his time between Sal and Chimney — we see them sitting together at the dinner table in a similar formation to the way that Hen, Buck and Chim sit together in the current 118 — but still lets himself take cues from the way that Gerrard treats Hen at the beginning of the episode. He is less of a bully than he was in Chimney Begins but still going along with the crowd because he doesn’t want to rock the boat. Saying that the east coast vibes means she was being called a bitch isn’t great, but that entire scene does play into generally accepted stereotypes about the east and west coast in the states and it is perhaps a bad attempt at explaining that to Hen, rather than bullying – but it comes off badly so it doesn’t really matter what the intent was. Chimney looks very disappointed in him for this. (Tommy talks in 7x05 about not being out but knowing that he wasn’t straight when he was in the 118, and we can only assume that showing up to the 118 and meeting Sal and Gerrard in 2005 made it very clear right away that he should toe the line of the rest of the house or find a new job.) The look on his face when Hen does her speech on the fire truck is definitely a realization of who he’s become and it doesn’t appear that he likes who he is.

He is one of the firefighters who is impressed by Hen’s idea about the firehose in the mudslide and he and Sal make a point to come to Hen before she gets called upstairs to see Captain Cook and tell her that she was right about the call and that she is a good firefighter. In the captain’s office Hen is told that a few firefighters made reports – given that in this episode we are mostly focused on Chimney, Tommy, and Sal as her teammates, and they’re the only three that talk to her before this revelation, I believe the storytelling wants us to assume that those three were definitely some of the firefighters who made a report against Gerrard, though we can also safely assume that the entire house reported him.

2014: Bobby is in Minnesota.

Late 2014/early 2015: Bobby moves to LA. Tommy is 30 or 31.

Based on the montages, this episode covers more time than the other two episodes (both between a year and a half to two years long) and ends with Tommy leaving and Buck coming in. Buck is just finishing his probationary year in 2018, so it follows that Bobby Begins Again covers the three years between 2014 and 2017, with most of Buck’s probationary year happening off screen before the pilot.

We are told during the betting scene that pre-Bobby’s arrival there have been two years of captains switching in and out. Gerrard was kicked out pretty early in Hen’s career at the 118 and Captain Cook came in (but was close to retirement) so it tracks that he was their captain between 2010 and 2012 and then left. 

You’ll notice that during the betting scene and a lot of the fire house montages, Hen is no longer the only woman in the house or on their shift — the higher ups were serious about changing the culture in the LAFD and they did in fact put their money where their mouths were.

As of Bobby’s arrival to LA, Tommy is the third part of the Chimney and Hen trio – they get drinks together, they shit talk work (and Sal), they lend each other money, they talk about how scars get you the girls. (Tommy is obviously still not out at work, but he could be dating someone, it's hard to know.) This is the 118 mirror of Hen’s support group with Athena, and they would not be spending time with each other outside of work if they didn’t like each other. At this point Tommy and Chimney have been working together for eight years! Between Chimney and Hen they have worn off most of the asshole edges that Tommy had in the first two flashback episodes. Chimney, Hen and Tommy sit together at family dinner and Hen arranges a cake and a party for Tommy — something that she wouldn’t have done if she didn’t like him at that point — when he gets his transfer to the 217 and starts flying again. (This is also the first instance of Hen getting a cake to celebrate things happening at the 118.)

Tommy has been at the 118 for twelve years. Chimney and Tommy have worked together for eleven years. Hen and Tommy have worked together for seven years. Bobby and Tommy have worked together for three years.

2019: 35 years old

Tommy has been at the 217 for two years and redirects a flight of their water plane to the subdivision when Chimney calls him. Chim says “Hey it’s Howie,” and still has Tommy’s number saved in his phone. We can assume that they are at least in sporadic contact and have been since Tommy left. We’ll call the odds 50/50 on the chance that Tommy has told Chimney (and perhaps Hen) that he is not straight at this point. Everyone says the Chimney can’t keep a secret but both he and Hen know that there is a difference between a secret and outing someone.

Spring 2024: 39 years old

Steals a helicopter for Hen when Chimney calls, flies them to a capsized cruise ship in the middle of a hurricane, makes friends with Eddie and kisses Buck. Gets invited to Chimney and Maddie’s wedding as Buck’s date. (There is a higher than zero chance that he has already been invited by Chimney since they’re friends and he’s just shocked Buck considers that a good third date.)

Chapter 2 is Here!

Tagging: @lemonlyman-dotcom and @kiwichaeng

T.K. stares directly into Paul’s eyes without blinking. His face is completely neutral, his body still. There’s no possible way—

“Got any eights?”

“Damn it Paul!” T.K. explodes, throwing a card down on the table that Paul sweeps up victoriously. “You have to be cheating!”

“Not cheating,” Paul says, a smug smile on his face. “Just very good at reading your tells.”

“I don’t have a tell!” T.K. gripes.

Paul places his eights on the table, spreading them out so everyone can see. “That’s what you think.”

“This game is not fun when you’re losing,” Mateo says sadly, looking at his hand, which is very full of cards.

“Marj, you got any fives?” Paul asks and she rolls her eyes as she hands them over. “Ooooh I am never doing dishes again!” he says happily.

Despite his annoyance at his teammate, there’s a spiral of happiness swirling through T.K. This feels normal. It feels good. The last year has been hell, but he finally feels like he can breathe again.

Leaving New York for Austin had sucked. In a lot of ways it still does. But he’s been going to meetings, going to therapy, and having the 126 at his back has helped a lot. The world still seems grey, but that’s an improvement over the black sucking hole his life had become after Alex rejected his proposal and sent him spiraling toward the grave. 

Oddly enough, the thing that helped the most was getting shot. That had also sucked, but the way the team had rallied around him after has helped to sharpen the edges of the fuzzy world he’s been living in. They care. They love him. They’re family.

And now he’s finally back on active duty. He’d shown up last week to his first shift and found a banner and a cake and decorations all over his locker. For a moment the world had flickered into color again, just a flash of what life could be if he was, you know, happy. It had gone away as quickly as it had come, but it had given him just a tiny bit of hope. Like maybe things could be okay again. Maybe he could be okay again. 

Paul has finally run out his turn and Marjan is trying to get Judd to give her nines that he obviously doesn’t have. T.K.’s phone buzzes in his pocket and he pulls it out, frowning at the unfamiliar number on the screen.

Random Number

[8:32pm] Hey, I had a good time the other night. Would love to hear more about that trip to Croatia sometime.

“Well that’s a face.” His dad’s voice cuts through the ribbing of the game as he joins them at the table, an espresso in hand. “What could possibly be in that text message that’s got you looking like that?”

“Some random person texted me the other day and they just did it again,” T.K. says. “Must be a wrong number.”

“You sure?” Mateo asks. “One time I thought I was getting random texts asking me on a date and I kept deleting them. Turns out it was my dentist reminding me of the date of my appointment. I missed it and they charged me like a hundred bucks.”

“Yikes probie,” Marjan says with a grimace, shuffling through her cards again.

“It’s not my dentist,” T.K. tells them.

“Just ignore ‘em,” Judd says. “No point in wasting your time wondering. Delete the text.”

“Or text back and ask who it is,” Paul says. “Could be a Nigerian prince who thinks you’re very beautiful and will give you many riches if you just send him a check for a thousand dollars first.”

“Shut up,” T.K. says with a roll of his eyes. 

“Just text them back. They should know it’s a wrong number,” Owen says.

T.K. considers this then starts typing.

T.K.

[8:34pm] Who is this?

Random Number

[8:37pm] Carlos. From the bar. We kissed, remember?

Carlos? T.K.’s mind goes completely blank. He’s not sure he’s ever met anyone named Carlos in his entire life. And he definitely hasn’t been kissing guys in bars lately. Things have been…incredibly dry in that department. Getting shot sort of sucks the libido right out of you and so far he hasn’t had the energy to try and find his dating mojo again.

He frowns and types back.

T.K.

[8:38pm] I don’t remember kissing anybody at a bar recently…

“T.K., your turn,” Judd prompts him.

“Sorry,” T.K. says, watching distractedly as three bubbles pop up on his screen and then looks hurriedly at his cards. “Marj, any aces?”

“Go fish.”

He grabs a card from the pile and adds it to his hand then glances back down at his phone. Holy hell.

Whoever this Carlos guy is, he’s sent a selfie and he’s hot as fuck. T.K.’s eyes take in dark, wild curls and a set of broad, muscled shoulders. Below that is a six pack worthy of an Oscar that tapers to a cut V along this guy’s hips, disappearing into his low slung shorts. His pecs are so defined they look photoshopped. He’s gorgeous. T.K. has never seen anyone like him.

“Whoa.”

T.K. startles when he realizes Marjan is leaning over his shoulder so she can stare at his phone. “Who is that?” she asks, nearly as awed as he is.

“The guy that’s been texting me,” T.K. says, trying to cool the blush that’s heating up his face. He’s not even sure why he’s blushing. It’s just a picture. 

“Ooh lemme see!” Mateo gets up in a flurry of cards.

“Hey! Aw hell,” Judd says, throwing his hand down, the game now ruined.

“Damn. That guy is BUILT,” Mateo says. “Text him and ask him what his workout routine is.”

“Better yet, text him back and ask him out,” Paul says, crowding in behind T.K.’s chair. 

“I’m not going to ask him out,” T.K. says, pushing the words past his throat and wishing he’d chosen somewhere more private for this. “I’ll just tell him I’m not whoever he thinks I am.”

“Are you crazy?” Marjan asks, shoving his shoulder. “Who cares if he thinks you’re someone else? That man is gorgeous. If you don’t do something about it, you’re stupid.”

“I agree,” Paul says.

“Me too!” Mateo pipes up.

“Do I get a vote?” Judd asks.

“Well apparently everybody else does, so why not?” T.K. huffs.

“I vote we get back to this game and stop gawking over some guy’s picture.”

“I believe the kids call it a ‘thirst trap’,” Owen says, joining the throng and peering down at T.K.’s phone. “It’s mean to attract potential sexual partners by increasing desire.”

“Okay thanks Dad,” T.K. says, pushing his chair back and forcing them all to scatter. “I think I’ll handle this on my own.”

They all protest as he heads to the bunk room, but he ignores them, grateful when the door closes and there’s nothing but quiet. 

He sinks down onto his bed and studies the text again, pulling the photo up and zooming in a little, his eyes drinking in perfect bronze skin and muscles. God. Whoever this Carlos thinks he’s texting is extremely lucky. T.K. reluctantly texts back.

T.K.

[8:49pm] Hey, sorry, I really have no idea who you are.

Hot Guy Carlos 

[8:50pm] This isn’t Deacon?

Deacon? T.K. snorts. What a pretentious asshole name. Then again, Tyler Kennedy isn’t exactly your standard Kyle or Chris either. But good to know Carlos is as gay as he looks.

T.K.

[8:51pm] Nope. I’m T.K.

He sends a selfie for good measure. One where he knows he looks hot. He’s wearing his AFD t-shirt and his eyes are doing that flirty sparkle thing he uses to drive men crazy. Because if Carlos is going to start texting the real Deacon instead, T.K. would at least like him to know what he’s missing. 

Three little dots pop up and second later a text comes through.

Hot Guy Carlos

[8:53pm] Oh my god. I’m so sorry.

T.K.

[8:53pm] No worries. 

And that’s the end of it. Right? Because when a random person texts you and you graciously explain that they have the wrong number, you don’t continue to text. No matter how breathtaking they are.

T.K. pulls up the photo again and his heart clenches in his chest. Everything around him seems grey, but this photo is stunning technicolor.

He saves it to his camera roll.

Congratulation....Captain?

♡Chapter 1♡

Congratulations Herrera… you will be captain of Station 19! ……

2 weeks later

………-Engine Company 19, Ladder Company 19, Aid Car 19 und Emergency Medical Services Response Unit 19 in E Madison St.-

"GO! GO! GO! 19! We are now dealing with a 5th grade emergency call! Bishop and Sullivan Aid Car! Montgomery and Hughes you're driving E19! Warren and Ruiz EMS19! Probie you're coming with me! Move!" Andy yelled and everyone was ready.

You nod resolutely and when you arrive at the address you can see the immense smoke despite the darkness.

"Oh shit….", Andy looks shocked as a picture of devastation becomes clear.

"Damn….that's a crane that's tipped over!" Vic gets out and looks around.

"Captain, there's fire everywhere, we have to contain it!" said Travis, looking tense.

"Can't you see the debris everywhere? And there are still injured people everywhere. Station 88 is also on the scene…we definitely need more support here!" Sullivan right in the mood looking at Andy, who realises the burden of this distress call, trying to orientate herself.

"Ok guys! Bishop and Sullivan check on all the survivors and get them to safety!" Andy yells.

"Captain I can help with the injured!" Warren looks at her seriously and Andy nods after a few seconds of consideration. She organises the remaining people and always passes on the situation report to the battalion chief.

"Captain!" With a leap you knock Andy over and the next thing you hear is a massive noise, close beside you as a large section of the crane has melted due to the heat and almost toppled onto Andy. Completely distraught, Andy looks at you, realising that she could have died here and now, you both stand up and Andy's breathing quickens. A loud beeping prevents her from hearing you.

"Captain! hey captain come to you!" you shout at her and grab her by the shoulders "breathe!"

Her first call as captain and then such a big one. Andy looks you in the eye.

"That's good, just breathe," you try to reassure her.

"Hey Andy, is everything ok?" Sullivan comes in to check if everything is ok. She just looks at him briefly and focusses on you again, then nods and takes her walkie talkie. "All units, we need reinforcements here, now!" Back in reality, she gives all the information to chief Ross and then looks at you.

"Contain the fire with the others, but keep your distance!" You nod at Andy's words and set off straight away, but you can clearly feel Andy's gaze on your neck as you leave.

The mission lasted a whole 40 hours and on the way back to the station everyone was simply exhausted. Andy leant back, lost in thoughts, looking out of the window.

"hey….good job Captain," Maya tries to cheer her up, the mood is too depressed after everything that has happened, but Andy simply ignores her. Images of the mission flash before her face in an endless loop and she can't relax which is also not unnoticed by you.

Back at the station, everyone literally falls into bed, only Andy is still in the captain's office finalising the report. She pauses for a moment as everything comes back to her. As captain, she is responsible for everyone. Tears well up in her eyes and she catches her breath, completely exhausted, when Sullivan suddenly comes in at the same time.

"tough first mission captain", he comes to her and sits down at her table.

"tch…" she closes her eyes and smiles. "How did you get through your first day as captain?" She looks at him for help.

"I just pulled it off, Andy, you've worked long and hard for this position. You're a born leader," he takes her hand, causing her to look at it thoughtfully.

"I was almost flattened by a crane today," she pulls his hand away from Sullivan. "Y/N saved me…. a new recruit," she huffs, almost embarrassed.

You were just about to open the door, but you hear her last words and pause with your hand on the door handle.

"The situation was also confusing, it's the first time I've ever seen a case like this involving a crane. Everyone was overwhelmed. You did your best and for the new recruit, it was an immediate experience.", Sullivan stands up and smiles.

You knock and slowly open the door. "Please allow me to come in Captain!" Andy looks at you and lets her eyes wander demandingly to Robert, who understood and left the office.

"Shouldn't you be sleeping?" Andy looks at you questioningly.

"I wanted to ask if you're okay, Captain…" you look at her carefully, her look completely tired. She stands up and leans against her table with her hands in her pockets, her eyes on you. "yeah....Thanks for asking, but I should ask you that. For your first shift here, it's probably difficult to process at first.

"Well, I've already experienced a lot, but the fact that I have to save the captain on my first day here is really crazy," you smile, but the words hit Andy harder than expected. She closes her eyes and takes a sharp breath.

"good job, probie…but you should go sleep now", she smiled unexpected softly.

A tinge of red spreads across your cheeks, which she doesn't know came from her smile, not her praise. "ok…

good night, captain", you turn back to your bunk and lay down, looking at the ceiling of the room smiling.

A new morning after the team finally got some more sleep, you are the first one awake and already making breakfast at the Beanery. Travis was the first to arrive. "hey well…your effort yesterday wasn't bad, well done probie" a peaceful smile from him, he helps you making breakfast when Andy joins you.

“Good morning,” came Andy quietly and formally. Travis looks between the two of you and was about to say something when Vic joins him. "heeeey, good morning!", she dances as she takes coffee and then suddenly looks back and forth between Andy and you. A simple silence between both of you and Vic then looks at Travis, almost looking for help, who just shrugs his shoulders and also sips coffee.

You remain silent and put the last things for breakfast on the table, sit down and drink coffee.

“thanks, looks good,” Vic grabs something and stuffs it straight into her mouth while Andy sits down right across from you. You concentrate on your coffee and have to swallow hard, but you are immediately pulled out of your thoughts when the rest of the group joins you. Andy looks briefly into your eyes, but her gaze is completely electric, she just suddenly gets up and leaves the Beanery with her coffee and goes to her office.

"Um…ok?", Vic watches her go, followed by the others except you.

“Surely the call is still in her bones,” said Sullivan and then looks at you quietly, which you don’t notice.

Andy stands with her back against her door, closes it and looks into the room, completely lost in thoughts, with a questioning look. "I swear…." She jumps at the sudden knock on her door, turns around and opens it….

who is the person behind the door? Next chapter will show it, also containing more fluffy moments between Reader and Andy

do u have any sweet or fluffy hcs for 911?

ohhh let me think!!okay so i don't think this one's mine bc im pretty sure i read it somewhere but i really like the idea of bobby, chim and eddie having like a "secret dads club" where they meet every week and they give some tips to chim about bring a dad. sometimes they take jee to walk in the park and sometimes they just play some card games and bitch about whatever.

i think that would be so funny and such a cute and hilarious group.

speaking of clubs!! i also like to think that eddie, may, linda, sue and maddie have this kind of secret book club. and they all read those really cheesy, erotica novels with some half naked dude on the cover. sometimes eddie even invites tía pepa in. and after they discuss the book they also mostly gossip about what's going at dispatch, josh's latest love disastrous experience, some of the new probies at the station, may's asshole classmates from college etc etc.

one day when buck finds out about it, he makes a big deal out of it just to tease eddie. but then he promises not to tell anyone and he will always babysit chris and jee if need be bc he thinks maddie and eddie deserve to have this thing for themselves and enjoy it.

i think athena knows how to cook but she doesn't enjoy it as much as bobby and it's not THAT good at it, but every friday night they both have free they stay on the couch and watch this cooking show bobby really likes. it's a kind of competition so bobby talks the entire time about what he would do differently and what things the contestants are doing wrong and if he had the chance he could totally win. he gets really worked up about it in the most endearing and hilarious of ways and athena just smiles fondly and tries to distract him with neck kisses and then they have a impromptu make out session on the couch like they're hormonal teenagers in love. (they kinda are)

may is a BIG swiftie and for her birthday bobby took her to the eras tour and spent WEEKS making friendship bracelets with her. (he has a few may gave him saved on his nightstand and he also made one for buck bc he's a big softie.)

buck knows how eddie hates driving and also is most of the time really busy with stuff from chris' school or whatever so sometimes when he goes to the grocery, he also shops for eddie and drops the bags casually and without saying anything. eddie tried to argue at first but know he just smiles and reallyyy bravely resists the urge to jump and kiss buck alo over his stupidly handsome face.

also, when eddie is feeling overwhelmed with chores and tía pepa calls him to fix something at her house, buck goes instead and for his troubles he earns a lot of gossip about tía pepa's friends and some DELICIOUS snacks made by her <333

I have more but i think this got a lil long so ill shut up now sksjjs

Gibbs x Reader Gif: Not Mine NSFW - Minors DNI Gibbs needs a hand... Warning: Adult Situations - Minors DNI ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Gibbs is late, something that’s never happened in the six years that you’ve been at NCIS. You heard the rumors of him sleeping at the office, but had never actually seen him to that, and yet, he was always the first one in.

You don’t give it a second thought though, powering up your desktop as you take a seat behind your desk. There’s way too much paperwork to complete and you have absolutely no intention of spending the weekend completing it. If Gibbs wants to spend his spare time at the office, that’s completely his problem. You on the other hand have plans and it does not include spending any extra time in the Navy Yard.

The bullpen is quiet and you like the quiet hum of the atmosphere. You enjoy those few minutes of peace before DiNozzo and McGee arrive, always after Gibbs and you. Speaking of… Tony traipses in a few moments later, followed by McGee, an annoyed expression gracing his youthful features. Clearly Tony has said something to the Probie to irritate him, but you’re not that interested in finding out. The teasing continues for a few more minutes as the boys settle down.

You have to admit, as much as they play and joke around, DiNozzo and McGee are at the top of the game. That being said, both agents groan at the sight of the paperwork in front of them. Its only then Tony notices that Gibbs hasn’t arrived yet.

“Maybe he’s up in MTAC” McGee suggest but DiNozzo waves the comment away, walking over to Gibbs’ desk to further investigate. Thankfully, he finds nothing, and you exhale in relief. You don’t have anything to hide, but you’d really rather not have Gibbs interrogating you about snooping around in his stuff.

“Call him,” DiNozzo suggests and McGee pulls out his phone to do so. He lets it ring a while and then it goes to voicemail. That sets a small alarm in your head. Gibbs is a stickler for his own rules and the one he really abides by is ‘Never be Unreachable.’

“McGee, ping his phone, so we can find his location. Someone needs to go and check on him,” DiNozzo says and you decide you want no part in that.

McGee does so and finds that Gibbs is at home. Neither of the boys want to go there. You don’t blame them. Its not like Gibbs has issues with people arriving at his home, its just… you don’t want to make a fuss out of nothing.

“Let’s give the man thirty more minutes and then we’ll decide,” you say.

The boys are okay with that, and you can get back to your paperwork and reports.

After what feels like barely ten minutes you hear DiNozzo nominate you to check up on your team leader.

“Why me?” you ask.

“Because he’s less likely to headslap you,” DiNozzo says and you had to admit he has a point there. “Also, it’s because he has a little thing for you.” DiNozzo continues and you scoff at that. There is absolutely no way Leroy Jethro Gibbs is interested in you. How could he possibly be?

“Yeah, I don’t think so. Remember the redhead that came to pick him up last week?” you remind Tony.

“That doesn’t mean he can’t be interested, Right McGee?” McGee has enough intelligence to not answer verbally.

Thirty minutes and two disagreements later, you’re walking up the two steps leading to Gibbs’ front door. You’re thankful for the advance in smartphones, the maps app directing you to your team leader’s home. You knock, waiting for him to answer but there is none. You try a second time. When there’s still no answer you turn the handle, open the door and step inside. You’ve never been here before, and you’re not exactly sure what to expect.

The house is… nothing like you expected. It’s sporadically furnished, and looks as though it hasn’t been lived in for years. But you know that’s not true.

You slowly step into the living room and dining room. They’re not different rooms but the fact that there is a dining table separates the two spaces.

You want to call out his name but a sound catches your attention and you turn in that direction. As quietly as you can, you follow the sound, until you come to a bedroom door.

You don’t think you’ll ever be ready for scene you come across.

Gibbs is laying on his bed, his face flushed and slightly sweaty. His chest is heaving as though he’s just run a 100m dash, and his left hand is wrapped around his dick, his hips moving up and down as he fucks into his fist. If that’s not attention grabbing enough, the sound of your name being moaned as he fucks himself gets your attention.

It’s like watching a car crash, you want to look away, but you can’t bring yourself to do so.

You finally shake yourself out of your stupor and decide to leave him be. There’s no reason you need Gibbs to know what you’ve seen. However, luck isn’t on your side. The floorboard creeks as you slowly, turn to leave and you hear the change in Gibbs breathing and without prompt your eyes meet his. You find you cannot break eye contact and Gibbs keeps his stare pinned to yours, as though he’s daring you, but you’re not sure what exactly he’s daring you to do.

You don’t move, hardly daring to breathe.

And then you see him lift his hips again, his throbbing manhood sliding through his fist. He’s slow at first, as though he’s building himself up. And you see his dick harden a little more as your breath hitches and his pumping picks up a little speed. All through this, he doesn’t break eye contact.

Another moan of your name has you walking toward him. You don’t even realise you’ve moved from your spot at the doorway until your legs hit the side of Gibbs bed. You lower yourself onto his bed, knees in line with his hips. You still don’t break eye contact, and he nods his head as though he’s read the question for permission in your gaze.

You reach out to touch him but stop just short of doing so. You place your hand at the base of his dick, squeezing gently and you see a little pre-cum leak out his tip. He releases his fist from himself and you take this as your cure to stroke his length, lightly running the tip of your finger over his head.

“(Y/N),” his voice is strained, he needs to cum and you’re only too happy to oblige him. You hand your hand around his rigid length, pumping slowly adjusting pressure as you stroke. Just as he did. You start out slowly, building him up and just when you see his eyes roll back, him ready to explode, you press on his balls, refraining him from doing so.

“(Y/N),” this time it’s a warning, but you take no heed. You do the same a second time, taking him all the way until he’s just about ready to cum and then steal it from him. He closes his eyes as your hand moves up and down his dick.

You decide the third time will be the final and so you take your time stroking him, building him up. “I want to feel myself inside you,” he says and your hand stops. Gibbs eyes snap open and he knows what he just uttered was not just in his head. Nope, you heard him. However, you have no intention of just allowing this to happen and so you continue your movement until he can no longer control his hips. It takes another 3 pumps before he cums, white liquid squirting out the tip of his dick and your name falling from his lips.

He collapses on the mattress, chest heaving, body lightly covered in sweat, his eyes closed. You take the opportunity to press a chaste kiss to the corner of his mouth before your phone breaks the silence.

“Did you find him? Is he okay?” DiNozzo’s voice cuts through.

“Yes Tony, he needed a hand with something. We’ll be at the Navy Yard in about forty-five minutes,” you tell him before hanging up.

You wait for Gibbs to say something, but he doesn’t. The silence grows, neither of you knowing what to say and finally you leave his bedroom.

“(Y/N),” you hear him calling as you descend the stairs, but you don’t answer him. You can’t deal with this right now.

Twenty minutes later you’re back at HQ and just as Gibbs requests you to join him in the ‘conference room’ a case comes in and off you go…

Fuck it Friday!

I was tagged by @wikiangela @giddyupbuck @daffi-990 thank you <3

Soooooooo, yesterday I remembered this random ass idea that was more of a concept than an idea, but like, you know how jeeps have the whole ducking thing where you leave ducks in jeeps? Well, I had the brilliant "Buck is sad he never got ducked, the whole firefam individually decides to do something and oh my god that's so many ducks" and this is two lines away from being a full-on crack fic where I try to figure out how many members of the firefam I can make Buck ran into in a day while ensuring he finds at least one duck after every interaction while never really thinking about how he said he never got a duck and now he has ten of them conveniently placed and themed after he saw member of his family. There are some minor buddie vibes because apparently, I am incapable of writing an Eddie that's not at least a little bit in love with Buck and I don't know where that's going but have a little bit of it anyway. (also please appreciate the fact that I'm doing something that's exclusively supposed to be funny it doesn't happen often soaksokasokaoksoaksas)

“Apparently people leave ducks for jeep owners?” The probie said, giving Buck a questioning look. “It’s called ducking. You just leave a duck for the person to find,” Buck shrugged, shifting around on the couch like he didn't like where the conversation was going. “But you don’t have any ducks?” Hen asked, making Buck sink further into his seat, pressing onto Eddie's side. “I've left a few but you’re not supposed to get them for yourself, and no ever left me one, so no, no ducks for Buck,” he said with a chuckle, but he was spared from dealing with the way the whole team was looking at him because the alarm went off before anyone could say anything else.  The call had ended up being a five-alarm fire so they didn't come back to the station until the shift was over and no one was really thinking about ducks by then.  Not that that stopped Eddie from sitting on his computer later that day with multiple rubber ducks in his Amazon cart after what honestly felt like hours because he kept finding one he thought Buck would like better than the one before.  So it was probie's fault.  Because he couldn't get over the disappointment on Buck's face even if he was trying to hide it. So he did what any reasonable person would do when their best friend gets upset about something easily fixable.  He decided to buy a damn rubber duck to leave in Buck's Jeep.

[iinryer]

If you could come up with the storylines for each Lone Star character (not Owen) for the next season, what would they be?

OH THIS IS A GOOD ONE… (not owen) made me laugh thank you. this didn’t end up being Quite what you asked but here are my hopes for s5!:

marjan is easy: comphet realization to lesbian arc. I don’t even need them to give her a gf i just want them to Address The Closeted Lesbianism they’ve been handing me over the past four seasons. i want salim to come back (in person or in conversation) for the rule of threes and have it force her to reckon with a lot of assumptions she had about herself. im on my hands and knees about it. I’ve been rewatching with a friend recently and i fucking forgot that they have her say a line about how her favorite place to hide as a kid was the closet. remember those new bts photos where she’s basically wearing the lesbian flag as a headscarf. lone star writers room i am IN YOUR WALLS. also i want to meet her sister. i need someone to call her mouse

nancy my beloved… honestly i just really want a nancy begins episode!! i want to know why she became a paramedic, i want to know about her relationship with her sister and if there’s any particular reason it was a soft spot for her during the DNR episode… I don’t have any particular ideas for specific i just want to know more about her!!! actually I’d love her to have to confront Tim’s death a little more directly. they made that whole thing about Owen which is fucking crazy to me, I’d love for the next time TK gets hurt (lol) for it to be something that dredges that up for her.

grace… miss grace i want to see you angry again. no plot line in mind i just like it when she’s pretending she doesn’t get angry or stubborn, she is such a fascinating character study. i love when she’s a contradiction. she and carlos teaming up was one of my favorite things abt s3, i would be so jazzed to see more things of that flavor.

tommy. hm… I don’t think I have any particular storylines for her in mind but I want more of her and grace and judd together because they are so delightful and lovely and best friends. OH ACTUALLY. I want something with tommy and charlie. this baby that was named in honor of the late love of her life. o don’t know what that story would be but there’s something there for sure…

carlos is the same as nancy tbh, I want a real full carlos begins! I want to meet his sisters! I want to see more of the mess that was growing up gay and feeling out of place and trying to be what your dad would want even though he thinks you’re too soft for it. why did he do it anyways! I also would love to see him and his mom being more involved, partially because obviously they had a horrible loss and trauma and she saw it happen but also because I love andrea:) she’s everything 2 me

judd I have been waiting for them to make you captain since SEASON THREE!! i want owen to retire and i want them to expand on the tension we got for the period he was captain!! i want to see how the dynamic changes and how his past issues come up when he’s in charge For Good. i want to see him get emotional about it and i want him to be captain while wyatt is his probie if they put him back on the firefighter track after his recovery :) bc that would be fun conflict and i think everything they did with owen (traumatically lost whole crew, son on your team) would be 100x better with judd

mateo is also a difficult one for specifics. I feel like they’re relatively fair with him? even with the low screentime all the secondary characters are relegated to. I’d be interested in seeing more fallout about his cousin, and I LOVED what they did with him and captain tatum so anything of that flavor of earnestness from him is always so good. maybe he and tatum will be buddies off the clock :)

tk getting hurt in increasingly absurd ways is always a classic that I look forward to them playing into lol

misc: i want to see more big brother wyatt with charlie getting a little older, i want less owen solo-plotlines, more ghost/memory gwyn i love her, carlos with his curls, the vega twins being involved in something maybe? that would be fun and stressful gjfhdhf

EDIT: OH MY GOD I FORGOT PAUL. I ABANDONED MY BOY. ok paul deserves literally any kind of robust plotline. Paul begins for starters, but also so much of his trans plotlines feel a little fumbled. I want a really earnest well done episode that isn’t necessarily About him being trans, but his transness is a factor and it’s handled in a really genuinely good and relatable way. they OWE HIM AND US THAT!! i also would love to see more of the gay kids being in gay spaces :)

[housesitting & snowed in send enrichment to my enclosure]

#iinryer talk #mailbox #sorry for no tk i love the character but im still trying to reconcile his actor’s stance these past few months lol

[theighthhorcrux]

A Thousand Yards notes:

- It being Jackie’s 60th birthday made me google Paula Newsome, and she’s apparently 62 (how??!), also I could swear she was meant to be a few years younger than Vance (born in ‘63)

- I thought of Lee Wuan Kai when Vance collapsed- something about it seemed like her

- Air Force One!!! Our very first episode

- I love these recent seasons’ Curtis Hubley resurgence, and we got a ‘probie’ mention

- Jared’s agent behavior was very sweet

- Kasie got to namedrop the title!

- Sniper on a rooftop? Oof

- Morrow family crypt, Dr. Kate’s sister mention, Chucky(!) mention, and poor Fornell- his garage is his office (also Knight needs to brush up on her history)

- How hard would it have been to get a NOLA cast member?

- McGee putting his foot in his mouth! Also McDirector returns

- Vance looking to Parker for advice like he would Gibbs was just ❤️

- I appreciated Parker’s stance on billionaires- a nice change from ‘Left Unsaid’, using the name ‘Voss’ was a risky move, considering the plot of ‘Dead Man Talking’ (also the actor was in ‘One Shot, One Kill’)

- Somebody not being able to get into MTAC- fun times

- Jared being manipulated online? Come on, seriously?

- Bringing drinks to the lab- nice Abby reference

- They missed an opportunity for the Adams House

- Everybody giving Lindsey Wexler death stares was great

- Fornell and a couch? Hmm

- Well, the conspiracy theory about Jackie was right

- Rule 39! One of my favorites

- Camera-clicking in a ball cap and another Gibbs reference!

- Gaslit? Facepalm but a GREMLIN MENTION makes up for it

- His name was Leonard Rush, writers :/, also I knew Lindsey would be the daughter of someone from the early days, but I didn’t guess him

- Threat to Air Force One- full-circle moment!

- William Baer Jr. was a relatively-obscure reference, I approve

- Driving through the gates- a very Gibbs move, more approval

- They did a great job making Vance look younger, and we got a flashback montage right back to ‘Hung Out To Dry’, although I wish they’d included Reeves, Abby, and Jenny

- Bringing up how they never get credit omg

Overall, this was a great episode that took us right back to the beginning. Here’s to all those to come

#ncis #naval criminal investigative service

[dinogoose]

what good is time without change?

“Am I in love with Eddie?” Buck asks, with an almost deranged smile. Then he breaks out into hysterical laughter, occasionally stopping as if he’s gonna say something, then continuing to laugh again. He is literally howling at this point, and Hen wonders if he’s concussed.

Finally, after all three of them just stare at him like he’s been possessed, he stops.

“Phew, I needed that thanks guys. Yes I’m in love with Eddie. The sky is also blue, the sun is a star, and we have gravity on earth.”

(or, hen realizes these idiots aren't as oblivious as she assumed.)

“Pause. Buck and Eddie aren’t divorced?” Lucy asks, completely serious.

Lucy, their newest addition to the 118, still isn’t used to the whole Buck and Eddie thing. Always giving them weird glances on calls. Never understanding their strange behavior like the rest of them do.

Hen and Chimney share a look, communicating years worth of frustrations, before both cackling. Lucy makes an affronted noise upset that she isn’t in on this obviously hilarious joke. Hen feels a little bad.

Swiping at her eyes, she composes herself, “No they aren’t. They have never been together, just two ‘dude-bros’ co-parenting a child together. Y’know the usual.”

Lucy has gone slack-jawed. Hen has to stop herself from reaching over and closing it. Chim keeps laughing.

“But they- What? They are so- Huh?” Which honestly sums it up perfectly. Hen just nods, agreeing with the non-statement.

“We’ve been dealing with this for years!” Chim shouts, “Years!” Lucy’s brows are scrunched up, deep in thought over this.

Ravi snorts from his spot on the couch. He’s really grown into his role at the 118. He’s a great asset to the team, and just a good friend. Even quickly fitting in with everyone, despite Buck’s threatening teachings. Hen is truly glad he’s a part of their dysfunctional family.

“Got something to add probie?” Chim asks, having heard his snort.

“Not a probie.” Is all Ravi answers before turning back to his book. Hen laughs at Chim’s mildly offended face. Ravi never involves himself with their more ‘childish’ conversations, regardless of the fact that he is the youngest.

“Should we… do something? Someone needs to stage an intervention at this point.” Lucy says, and everyone nods in agreement, even Bobby who is pretending not to listen. If Hen had been paying more attention, she would’ve noticed Bobby biting his cheek to keep himself from laughing.

“You’re right. We’ve let these oblivious idiots live in denial too long.” Hen loves these boys, of course she does, she’s been with them nearly everyday for years. But, there is only so much helpless pining you can take before you want to hit someone.

“Agreed. How do we play this?” Chim asks, just as Buck walks up the stairs.

“Play what?” Buck asks. Lucy stifles a giggle behind her palm.

“Buck, take a seat. We have something to say.”

The blue-eyed man looks incredibly skeptical but sits down.

“Am I in trouble? I didn’t even do anything!” He says waving his arms around. Chimney shakes his head disappointed, Hen sighs, and Lucy looks like she’s about to cry with laughter.

“That is the problem, Buck. You both never do anything.” Chimney tells him, arms folded. All three of them are standing, trying to power-pose Buck into confessing to Eddie. Or something, Hen isn’t entirely sure what the plan is, all she knows is she’s sick of it.

“Buck, let me ask you something.” Hen waits for Buck to nod, he does. “Are you in love with Eddie?” She expects this to rock his world. Truly shake him to his core as she lays out this big secret he’s most likely been keeping even from himself. This is not what happens.

“Am I in love with Eddie?” Buck asks, with an almost deranged smile. Then he breaks out into hysterical laughter, occasionally stopping as if he’s gonna say something, then continuing to laugh again. He is literally howling at this point, and Hen wonders if he’s concussed.

Finally, after all three of them just stare at him like he’s been possessed, he stops.

“Phew, I needed that thanks guys. Yes I’m in love with Eddie. The sky is also blue, the sun is a star, and we have gravity on earth.” Hen is honest-to-god gaping. Just mouth open, staring at Buck.

“You are? Then why? Why haven’t you done anything?” Chimney is outraged. Hen hasn’t seen him this mad since- well it doesn’t matter right now.

The problem at hand is, Buck is in love with Eddie, openly, and hasn’t done jack shit.

“I um…” He looks off to the side, almost as if he’s searching for Eddie. “Well why haven’t you guys said anything? If you knew I loved him and all.” Buck is re-directing the conversation for some reason. Hen assumes it’s because he’s uncomfortable. Maybe insecure? She should have a more serious talk with him soon.

Chimney speaks first, “To be honest, I did not want to get involved. I am not great with secrets.” He rubs his neck sheepishly.

“Not great? Really?” Hen side eyes him and he ducks his head.

“And I thought you two were divorced. So, my bad.” Lucy says, shrugging, before she goes over to sit next to Ravi. She whispers something to him, and he enthusiastically nods before whispering back.

Buck starts laughing again and Hen still isn’t sure what’s so funny.

“Well, I just want you to know we are here for you. If you ever want to talk about the whole being in love with Eddie thing.” She wants them to be happy. God knows they deserve it.

Buck eyes soften, crinkling at the corners, “Thanks Hen. I really appreciate that.” And with this he gets up and leaves.

Hen just turns over this whole interaction in her mind, because what? He didn’t seem crushed, or sad, or even surprised. He just knew and accepted his love. Maybe he’s grown up a lot more than any of them have given him credit for.

Hen feels oddly proud.

A few minutes later, Hen is going over to restock the truck when she hears Buck animatedly talking to Eddie.

“And, and, get this- she asked if I was in love with you.” Hen can hear Eddie’s rumbling chuckle, and she rounds the corner so she can see them.

To her surprise they are standing very close.

“Well now I’m curious. Are you in love with me, Buckley?” She can hear the teasing lilt to his voice, but it also sounds an awful lot like flirting.

“Hmm. I’d have to think about it, Diaz.” Eddie steps even closer to Buck, tilting his head up so their noses brush. Hen is definitely interrupting something.

“Just admit it. You are embarrassingly in love with me.” Buck scoffs, before kissing Eddie, hard. Hen turns away shocked.

How could she have missed this? How long has this been going on? She’s been categorizing their closeness, as just a BuckandEddie thing. But this is proof it was always so much more.

Also if they’ve been secretly dating who wins the bet?

As she’s walking away she hears Buck’s now much quieter voice, “Yeah I’m in love with you.”

Huh.

Maybe Hen’s been the oblivious idiot all along.

(I was absolutely supposed to be writing other things but. oops? i quickly wrote this, so my deepest apologies if it’s not the greatest. i hope you enjoyed!)

At 364 appearances and counting, actor Brian Dietzen has been involved in more than a third of all the episodes in NCIS’ family of shows on CBS. But in a week that welcomed the franchise's 1,000th entry, Dietzen tells Entertainment Weekly that one episode in particular stands out.

“That's one of my tops,” Dietzen says. “That's probably my favorite one.”

The hour of TV in question is “Keep Going,” the season 14 episode that finds Dietzen’s lovable medical examiner Jimmy Palmer out on a ledge — literally — trying to rescue a man threatening to jump. 

But it’s not only the Palmer focus that makes this episode memorable for the former Illinois resident; it’s also what was happening at the same time in the Midwest.

“While we were shooting that episode, I got to watch my beloved Chicago Cubs win the World Series for the first time since 1908,” Dietzen recalls.

The majority of Dietzen’s work in "Keep Going" takes place up against the side of a building, which made it tough for him to follow the action on the field during breaks in filming. Luckily for him, the NCIS crew is full of fellow Cubs fans who gave assists from the ground.

“Chad Erickson is one of our camera guys, and I’d look down between takes. He was like a first-base coach giving me signs on what the score was and what the count was. And then I’d rush home and try to watch the last few innings,” Dietzen says. “It was one of the best weeks.”

Of course, it didn’t hurt that the episode Dietzen was filming during the Cubs’ 2016 victory run ended up being one of the most highly rated of the long-running series, coming in at No. 3 overall with a 9.2 audience rating on IMDb.com.

“Keep Going” is a rare out-of-lab episode for Dietzen’s character, whose kindness and compassion is on full display as he tries to talk a despondent man down from the ledge.

“We’ve got a couple of those episodes over the course of the series, where either Abby or Jimmy or Ducky or Kasie — the lab-coat folks down in the basement — find their way out into the field, and those fish-out-of-water tales are always very entertaining,” Dietzen says. “It's a wonderful thing as an actor.”

The episode was written by Scott Williams, Dietzen’s future collaborator on the three episodes the pair went on to write together. 

“It really turned into just a two-man play out there on the ledge,” Dietzen says. “All the characters were there to support Jimmy, and I think people love seeing that, seeing everyone come together to save one of their own. That was a special one for me, for sure.”

However, Dietzen’s 14-year-old son, one of two children he shares with his wife, Kelly, doesn’t feel quite the same way about his father’s big episode now that he’s started watching NCIS from the beginning.

“He came up to me a couple of weeks ago, and he goes, ‘Dad, I found it, I found my favorite episode of NCIS,’” Dietzen says. “And I'm thinking it's got to be something that's, you know, centered around his dad, right? And he just goes, ‘Probie.’” But Dietzen can’t fault his son for loving the season 3 outing that focuses on Sean Murray’s character, Timothy McGee. “It’s such a good episode! And Sean is so good in it,” Dietzen says. “I was like, ‘Dude, you're right. That's a fantastic episode.’”

When he shared the news with Murray, the two had a similar thought: “Isn’t it wild that our kids now are watching the show? My son didn't exist when the show started, and neither did Sean’s kids.”

One thing that Dietzen’s L.A. born-and-bred children aren’t missing out on is the Wrigley Field experience that their dad grew up with... sort of. On one family trip to the friendly confines, Deitzen recalls a tap on the shoulder from the people in the row behind him with an offer to share the baked goods they'd brought from home.

“My daughter looked at me and my wife as we're taking the cupcakes, and she was like, ‘What are you doing?’” Dietzen says with a laugh. “It’s like, ‘Honey, this is the Midwest. It’s not Los Angeles. People just are really nice here. They'll bring cupcakes to the Cubs games.'"

From That: “What’s your problem man?”

To This: “Look man, you need to tell me if something is wrong!”

Buck & Eddie: From That-To This #3: Disagreements and Discussions

From that: “What’s your problem man?”

To This: “Look man, you need to tell me if something is wrong!”

Buck and Eddie have had two disagreements within the last four years but the number of discussions they’ve had far outweighs them disagreeing with each other.  They argued during their first shift because Buck felt threatened by Eddie’s presence but they got over their dispute fairly quickly and by the end of that shift, they had vowed to have each other’s backs.  The vow they made of trusting one another would also extend to their personal lives which prompted Buck’s inquiry regarding Eddie’s health in 5x2 “Desperate Times”.

GIF #1 2x1 “Under Pressure” Buck felt threatened by Eddie’s presence at the 118 so he kept making off handed comments at him instead of talking to him while they were working out in the gym. Eddie got fed up and asked, “What’s your problem man?”  Buck hesitated before responding but then stood up and said, “Ok you! You’re my problem! Your comfort level. You’re not supposed to just walk in here and act like you’ve been here for years.  It’s meant to be a getting to know you period. You’re meant to respect your elders”. When Buck said, “respect your elders”, he wasn’t referring to Eddie’s age even though Chimney thought he was.  He was actually talking about seniority inside of the 118 which referred to the amount of time he had been there when compared to Eddie.  Eddie was recruited by Bobby to be Buck’s partner because Buck didn’t have a partner in season 1; he came in and was instantly liked by everyone while Buck had to work hard to accomplish his spot on the team.  Therefore Buck felt like Eddie didn’t have to go through a difficult period as a probie the way he and most other firefighters had done so he believed it wasn’t fair.  Eddie told him that he didn’t mean to step on anyone’s toes but he then said that he knew Buck was going through a rough time since his girlfriend broke up with him. That pissed Buck off even more and he asked Eddie who told him that. Eddie explained how he heard Buck was a good guy and there was no reason for him to take his pain out on him or feel threatened by him. They didn’t resolve anything then but they still had several more hours left before their shift would be over to resolve their issues.

GIF #2 5x2 “Desperate Times” Buck was upset because Eddie wouldn’t tell him why Dr. Salazar recognized him when they were at the hospital in 5x1 “Panic”. So he kept pestering him until he finally admitted he had been having panic attacks.  Buck asked Eddie if he was feeling ok and Eddie responded “You don’t give up do you? I’m fine Buck”.  But Buck explained how people who are fine don’t go to see cardiologists and then said, “Look man, you need to tell me if something is wrong!”  Buck and Eddie had been working together for more than three years when Buck approached Eddie to find out why he had to go to the hospital and since he knows Eddie so well, he knew something serious must have happened for him to end up in a hospital being seen by a cardiologist. Eddie tried to deflect but Buck knows him and he worries about Eddie especially since he was shot by a sniper in 4x13 “Suspicion”.  He wouldn’t let up until Eddie finally told him that he had been having panic attacks instead of heart attacks.  Buck said, “Since when do you panic?” and Eddie said, “That’s what I said. I don’t panic. Except I did”.  Their relationship has grown so much that it prevents them from being able to pretend with one another.  Since they know each other so well, they’ve allowed themselves to be vulnerable in front of the other one and they continue to be there for each other.  Their discussions have gotten easier since they happen so frequently but there are still times when Buck has to make Eddie talk to him (read blog post: “Buck & Eddie: Buck listens to Eddie” for more on the way Buck makes Eddie talk to him).

I read what you reposted about ff, and omg I'm not the only one!. I read a lot of buddie ff, i think people're very talented in this fandom, but jesus, in the last few months is nearly impossible to read something with firebarbie in it for no reason at all, sometimes she's there and ravi or chim or hen no! She helps buddie It's the same thing they did with taykay between the hiatus of 4a or 4b, the friend that knows more of them and push them together without even knowing them!

Yeah, now that I have figured out how to do a search through the fic on my phone, I will no longer be jump-scared by untagged L or tay kay (unless I forget to check multi-chapter fics in a "view the whole work" format and get hit with it in the last chapter because I only checked chapter 1 like a doofus), but it really is ridiculous the amount of people who throw L in when Maddie or Hen would have worked better. Or they have her as the “bi-bestie” helping Buck or Eddie through their sexuality crisis, or, which given that we literally got proof that Hen and Karen enjoy dancing at the club makes me especially salty, taking Buck or Eddie to a gay club to “help” them in their realizations. 

I also find it particularly *hilarious* that in their single paragraph mentions they have to make sure people know they’re woke and don’t hate L,  the “stop saying L took scenes from Ravi, her and Ravie are NOT interchangeable” crowd also always have them listed together. It’s always some form of “Ravi and L did/said/were at xyz”, neither allowed to do anything on their own, forever occupying the same space in the same sentences, because the show itself made them interchangeable because there wasn’t room for L to be around in the first place since Ravi was already in that “5th main crew member in the truck” slot! She takes Buck’s normal place in the diver call in fear-o-phobia, she takes Ravi’s “probie struggles on the job and needs a mentor” storyline from Dumb Luck making it all about her being MAD the woman lived instead of a storyline that made sense like Ravi being worried he wouldn’t be so lucky next time and how to make sure he’s ALWAYS that lucky, she took Chim’s spot on the reality TV show call leaving Buck to be the medic with Hen which makes no sense and instead of getting Chim’s delightful commentary since we know he is a TV/Movie buff, we got her bitching about marriage being a crap-shoot to two married people and Buck who just wants to build a life with someone, she’s literally just interchangeable with anyone because she’s an extra body they don’t need, but KR decided everyone else needed to make space for so they HAVE to take things from other characters just to give her something to do.

ANYWAY, sorry for the rant, it’s just who I am as a person 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ve been sticking to reading fic from season 3, or aggressively screening for untagged characters (they do it with Shannon too, particularly when she’s being bestie co-parents with Eddie) and exiting the fic if needed. This show has so many great women in Buck and Eddie’s lives, that I think it’s ridiculous when tay kay or L are the ones used to bring them together. Also a fun note, you almost never see the same with Ana being besties and helping Buck and Eddie get together, and maybe people should think a little bit about why tay kay and L get treated differently. Because I can bet it has something to do with them being a) white, b) “girlbosses” and “badasses” (while Ana is a teacher with a soft voice who wears soft floral clothes and her ableist remarks fly more under the radar), and c) headcannoned as“bi-besties” before the show had them kissing on Buck. 

#my sweet nonnie friends #911 #anti taylor kelly #anti lucy donato #not to defend ana or anything because she said some pretty gross stuff and i don't think she would be helping buddie get together either #but the fact that it almost never happens compare with the WEALTH of fic for L tay kay and even shannon helping buddie together? #it's pretty loud
