Time Isn't Real

Gonna be so real, gang, I kinda expected Eddie to only get three seconds of screen time but it’s kinda wild that we got a time skip and pretty much everything revolving his immediate, acute grief happened off-screen.

Actually the time skip was the worst decision of the episode tbh. Like, I’m more than fine spending most of the immediate fallout from Bobby’s death with Athena (never gonna complain about more Angela Basset on my screen), but the idea that we hardly see any of the main character’s reckoning with the loss besides Athena and Chim? Thank god we got SOME Hen in the end but fuck man. Why did we jump ahead two weeks? Why did we spend so much time on what should’ve been a B-plot? How is Bobby dead but still had more screen time than other main characters but also got a janky montage as a funeral rather than an entire episode grieving his death? Literally what. Was any of that?

And the stoic Buck of it all? Yeah, people who called that they’re setting him up for captain were right and truly I hate that with my whole heart. For seasons, so much of Buck’s character growth has been routed in realizing that he can’t always be “the guy who fixes things” and how he can’t be everything to everybody and more importantly that he doesn’t NEED to be to still be loved and accepted. And now they’re setting him up to the center point of the 118, the figure that every other firefighter looks to—listens to, follows through literal flames. Literally making him become everything to everyone. The guy whose job it is to fix everything.

Take that with the implication that Bobby was right to think LA was not his real home; just his penance, his borrowed time (burying him with his “real family” in Minnesota)—even after he insisted on his last words that he found a will to live and a new family instead? I just—

It’s like they’re undoing years of character development. And for what? For shock value and “creative decisions”? The characters are no longer three dimensional fixtures in an expansive work of art exploring joy, despair, hope, grief, and the tumultuous lives of first responders. They’re glorified baby dolls being smashed into trauma after trauma—as if the showrunners got tired of telling interesting stories and instead now chasing dopamine rushes with the next big emergency they can torture their toys with.

And I’m expected to watch season 9? Hell, the rest of this season? How? The creative minds behind the show clearly don’t care much for the characters, so why should I?

(Great acting by Kenneth Choi and Angela Bassett though. Phenomenal what pros can do even with shitty scripts.)

Hugh calling her his wife is crazy and the basement question wild

Gabi x Sir Snowed In AU

Hugh is a snow ranger in Kakslauttanen Arctic Village and Gabi is going for a retreat there. She had some perks from her corporate PR job, allowing her to choose between a holiday home in Barcelona and a log cabin in Finland. In the end, she went with fluffy socks and hot cocoa.

When Gabi arrives, she's greeted by a handsome man called Hugh. Apparently, he is there to ensure her comfort and safety for as long as she'll let him the duration of her stay.

Hugh leads her to her cabin on horseback. His horse is called Maya, she's a sweetheart and loves Gabi immediately.

Once Ms Gabrielle's luggage has been unloaded, Hugh walks her through the highlights in the village. He recommends the spa, the hot rocks and the forest, mostly for the wild rabbits.

Gabi thanks him for his help as he prepares to leave. He would've stayed forever if she asked.

Over the next few days, Hugh makes the same mistake time and time again. His usual rounds involve checking in on the dozen or so guests in the arctic village yet somehow he spends too long at Ms Gabrielle's. Every. Morning.

Really it's not his fault. He knocks, as usual, asks the guest if there is anything he can do for them. If yes, he stays. If no, he moves on. With Ms Gabrielle, all she does is smile and invite him in and he's powerless. Self control is a foreign concept and before he knows it, he's sitting next to her, by the fireplace, drinking the mulled wine he bought for her, just one day after she arrived.

Clearly, he has favourites. His boss can never find out that he spends nearly two hours with Ms Gabrielle each morning, let alone the fact that he brings her freshly baked cinnamon rolls and leaves them by her doorstep.

That kind of thing is frowned upon by professionals with other guests to consider.

Not him, though. Ms Gabrielle is worth the recklessness that may or may not guide him these days. With her, he can be himself, with all of his peculiarities and passions to boot. She accepts him.

This particular morning, the two are talking about why they chose Finland and who they'd want to bring next time around. For Hugh, it's his younger brother, Martin. He would love to show him the reindeer grazing in the spring time. Its so peaceful.

For Gabi, it's her father. For as long as she could remember, the man had always hated the cold. It would be nice to show him another side to the snow. Besides, he'd never left the US. This would be good for him.

Catching a glimpse of the time, Hugh sees that they've set a new record. This morning chat is coming up to three hours yet somehow he can't find it in him to feel regret. Every second in her presence was worth the potential reprimand.

As he prepares to finish his morning rounds, with a slight delay, he promises to make her dinner on his next day off. Mounting his horse, he tells her that his uncle taught him a few family recipes he'd like to show her.

Gabi watches him ride off from her window and chuckles softly to herself. This man wants to make her pasta and lobster.

As promised, two days later, Hugh is at her doorstep carrying a basket full of ingredients. That night, there is an insanely dangerous blizzard that traps them in her cabin. Not that they realised, of course. Their first date was going too well for them to check the weather forecast and risk cutting it short.

They are snowed in for three days. Its bliss. No emails, no early starts, no meetings, just lots of red wine and orgasms.

Thankfully, the cabin is warm and well stocked. Gabi is enjoying the baecation and Hugh needed an excuse to neglect the other guests. All in all, its a win.
