911 fic!

[domarzione]

I am still wading around in the 9-1-1 fandom like a nomad and it's weird to be without 'people' -- it has been 25 years since I have gotten into a fandom without someone dragging me into it and being excited with me and for me. I have no people. I don't know where to find people. Or, at least people who are interested in stuff that's not the main pairing because here I am writing genfic and nobody really reads that anymore without being pointed to it and told it's okay. Is there a Discord I'm ignorant of? Is there a group somewhere here or on Tumblr? I don't know. I am being fannish in a void.

(I am honestly willing to 'ship Buck and Eddie because I haven't seen this kind of canonical full-life devotion since Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin and I wrote a lot of Steve and Bucky. But that's not where I'm gonna start writing because I'm me.)

Anyway, you all will be shocked to hear that I wrote a 11k word story essentially about food. Because DMZ/food is my true OTP.

Heart on a Plate
11k words | Chimney and everyone else

Chim and his love/hate/love relationship with Korean food and how that draws him close and pulls him away and pulls him right back toward the people he loves and who love him. From tofu stews to Buff-Fridays to a Juk-O-Matic that travels cross-country twice. Comfort food and who it comforts. Kevin Lee and Jee-Yun Buckley Han, Anne Lee and Bobby Nash, and getting perp-walked out of that teppanyaki place with Hen.

(Five times Chimney Han ate his way into a family.)

Ancestral-food/Diaspora-feelings is my OTP and I will read it in any fandom going :D

(I mean I literally discerned from the structure of the story that the relevant canon is likely a procedural sort of series about firefighters. There are really not many hanging threads even at that level of absence-of-prior-knowledge, which is neat.)

Anyway lemme go bump it on tumblr (for what it's worth)

[domarzione]

It is nominally a procedural about firefighters, but it's really a found family drama where everyone happens to be a first responder and also a grown-ass adult. That said, I am delighted that you read it despite not knowing the canon and I thank you muchly for promoting it because word of mouth is the only thing I can go on.

If you ever run into glorious_spoon in 911 fandom, they're a) a great writer and b) good people.

I shall be on the lookout, then, because I could use both. :)

I love 911. I like the fandom main ship but Athena/Bobby is my otp. It’s good TV. Haven’t read much fix but a lot of the SGA crew recs me a lot of buck/Eddie.

Oh, Bobby and Athena are my main pairing in that fandom, too. They're how I got into the fandom! And because of them, we got the amazing Bobby-and-Michael show for three-plus years and I will miss that a lot.

As someone who has now written three stories that are not Buck/Eddie, I am very sure that nobody knows a lot of non-Buck/Eddie stories. The Chimney fans are very open about how they stay out of the tags on both Tumblr and AO3 because there's a lot of anti-Chim sentiment out there because he got mad at Buck. I have tried to look for Bobby/Athena and can't find them except as 'they are parents to Buck' and...
