Re: Rec me a fandom or fic?

9-1-1. All you really need to know is that the characters are mainly firefighters, with some paramedics and cops, and they respond to all sorts of crazy accidents/emergencies.

The main pairing is Buck/Eddie, which I've seen compared to Steve/Bucky before (although I can't say how accurate that is since I'm personally not familiar with them). Buck is a firefighter who's kind of a lost puppy (pretty much his entire character arc is trying to figure out who he is/what he wants), and Eddie is a firefighter and Army vet/medic who is a single dad to a special needs son, Christopher. Eddie doesn't appear in the show until season 2, and he and Buck become best friends pretty quickly. Eddie and Christopher kind of adopt Buck into their family, and they have a pretty domestic situation going on. The fans like to call Buck Christopher's second dad, and even the actor who plays Buck has described Buck as a co-parent. There's speculation that the pairing could become canon (both actors and some of the writers are in favor of it, but some are not, so there's a bit of disagreement behind the scenes and no one really knows at this point where it's going to go).

There are various plot points that come up in fics at times, but that basic info should be enough to understand most fics.

That...actually makes me want to watch the show. But I'll definitely check out the fic. Thank you!

ayrt

If you're up for watching a new show, I'd definitely recommend it! There are a ton of Buck/Eddie (the ship name is Buddie) videos on YouTube if you want to get a feel for things. It's nothing new or groundbreaking, but it's really fun! Most of the characters are great, the canon ships are mostly enjoyable, and there's a found family aspect that I always enjoy.

There's also the spinoff, 9-1-1: Lone Star, which takes place in Austin, TX (the original is set in LA) and is also about firefighters/paramedics/cops and the crazy situations they respond to. The main ship for it is TK/Carlos, which is actually canon, and has a ton of fic. TK is a firefighter/paramedic who moved to Texas from NYC with his dad (who's the fire captain), and Carlos is a cop who was born and raised in Texas (and his dad is a Texas Ranger). My favorite ship for the show, though, is actually TK's dad and a police sergeant who works with Carlos but the sergeant is a recurring character who's only in a handful of episodes and I'm basically the only one who ships it lol. There are some really good canon ships, too (I love Judd, who is a firefighter, and his wife Grace, who is a 911 operator).

Lone Star is much more of a character drama (there are even episodes without any emergencies at all, that focus just on what's going on with the characters) and some fans of the original don't like Lone Star and call it a soap opera lol. They're definitely different in some ways (although I like both) but Lone Star also has some great characters and a really good found family aspect like the original.
