Ok y’all I’m cryingggggggggg right now, because my brain didn’t PROCESS that Maddie even said I love you to Chimney. I’m not even joking. I now have to go back and rewatch that scene. How the hell did my brain do that to me?!?!?!?!?

Something I really love about the “i love you” scene with Madney is how much they didn’t make a big deal about it? We see Chim’s face as he processes what she says to him, and then when she says it again, but he doesn’t stop their conversation to go, “Oh my goodness, you thought you couldn’t say it again because of the trauma, you said you love me for the first time.” 

The conversation just…continued, with both of them understanding that she had said it for the first time and Chim being happy but not taking out time to focus on her trauma or this big step, and even being a little jokey with her later when she says she loves him and he says “ditto.” And I just really love that so much; the show doesn’t point out the obvious and trusts us to remember this about them and doesn’t stop this big moment in its track to have Chim potentially retrigger her or bring attention to this step for Maddie. She’s just healing one step at a time and reclaiming things in her life and we get to be a part of that without having the show constantly bring up that she was traumatized and it’s just??? So very nice to see and a great portrayal of having a survivor onscreen in a way I haven’t seen in other shows before.

Y’all it’s really 4:27 am, I have 3 classes tomorrow (today), and I swear I’m just sitting here having a mental breakdown over how much I love madney. Like, is that healthy?? 🤔

This isn’t my usual style, and I can’t draw side profiles, but I just had to do this cute little sketch. It’s now 5:40 am and my mind is still racing with so many ideas and of the next episode!! Ugh a month guys...I cant. But on the bright side my birthday is April 22, and the return now feels like a great birthday gift.

Haha I literally just changed my background to Maddie and Chimney. Although my lock screen is the promo photo of the mudslide, so I may very well be screwed.

You’re married to your phone background/lockscreen how fucked are you

When he was fourteen, he had barely survived his mom dying.

And then he was thirty and he had barely survived his brother dying.

Awwwww I can’tttt!!! So goodddd!! But I swear if we don’t get a barbecue scene where Maddie meets the gang and everyone falls in love with her daughter I’m SUINGGGG!! ❤️😭

Riley AU. Maddie meeting Hen for the first time. Maybe it’s an accidental meeting. Maddie and Riley spend the night at Chimney’s place after a long day of doing whatever people do with kids in LA and Riley opens his door (something she LOVES to do to even though Maddie always tells her not to) when Hen knocks.

It had been a long day full of excitement and far too much food and joy and Maddie is entirely certain her face aches from the amount of smiling they’ve done today. It had been Howie’s idea to go to the zoo, the one that she had been trying to get to on the first day they had met and hadn’t actually found the time or chance to do so since. He’s wonderful, in every sense of the word, from taking care of her, to being patient and kind to her daughter, to just being an absolute light in what had once been a dull life. 

Riley adores him which is really the most important thing because her daughter will always be the biggest, best part of her and of her life and the thought of her not liking someone she does had been terrifying. But Maddie knows, more than anything, that her daughter’s feelings would always come first, no matter what. Thankfully, it’s not a hurdle to overcome, at least not at the moment and it’s a relief because she isn’t sure she would ever be able to feel the way about someone else as she does about him. Truthfully, she hadn’t felt it was at all possible to love again after everything with her husband. 

She and Chimney are sitting on the couch as she snuggles into his side, barely paying attention to the movie as she tries to keep her eyes open. Riley had given up on the movie a while ago, happily lying on the floor between the living room and the kitchen with her iPad held out in front of her. It’s peaceful and she feels safe and loved with his arm wrapped around her whilst her hand settles on his stomach. She loves these moments with him because there isn’t any innate desire to fill silence with awkward conversation because the silence is just as comfortable as the flowing conversations they have. She could talk to him for hours and never grow tired but she could also relish in the safety of his touch, knowing she had spent far too long dreading the touch of the man who was meant to love her. 

Her eyes are falling to a close just as the door knocks, letting out a groan when the arm is gone from hers but before Chimney can even move off the couch, she hears a “Hi,” and she knows that her daughter has happily scrambled up from her place on the floor to open the door, just as she does at home. And at home it’s usually something that earns her a roll of her eyes and a half-attempt of discipline because whilst it’s irritating and potentially dangerous, Maddie lives in a secure building and usually it’s just takeout or Chimney. With her daughter it’s a case of picking battles, sometimes and the opening of the door is one she knows she might never win because Riley is far too friendly and too eager, at the best of times. 

However, this isn’t home and Chimney doesn’t live in as secure a building as she does and she knows they’re going to have to have words about opening other people’s doors, especially when Chimney looks as though he wants to say something but he doesn’t know what to say. He’s barely known Riley anytime at all and he’s not her dad, he’s not quite in that place of being able to tell her off and definitely not in any place to tell her how to parent her daughter. But, for the first time, she can see it as clear as day on his face as she moves to stand up, “Riley!” She rubs her hand against his arm before she walks past him, biting down on her lip as she shakes her head at the little girl who’s standing at the door with a huge smile on her face as though she had done nothing wrong at all. 

It’s with a sigh that Maddie beckons for her to come to her, “It’s Chimney’s apartment, not yours, you don’t open the door, especially not when we aren’t expecting anyone, do you understand?” 

“But why?” 

“Do you talk to strangers in the street?” It comes out a little snappier than she had intended, arms folding as she raises a brow and looks at her daughter, watching the pondering thought on her face before she shrugs her shoulders, quickly followed by a shake of her head when she must see the look on Maddie’s face, growing angrier by the second. “Then why are you answering the door to strangers?” 

It might be the first time she’s actually seen some sort of understanding on her face, her hand still on the door before she edges it open a little more, revealing a woman that Maddie recognises from Chimney’s social media, “I was just trying to help.”

She doesn’t know what she was about to say but the words die on her lips before they can, her face flushing a dark shade of red before she pulls on the top she had ‘borrowed’ (stolen) from Chimney, wearing nothing but a pair of shorts beneath it.

Chimney looks confused, moving forward the door to gently pull her daughter away from where she’s standing, “Hen, what are you doing here?” It’s not that Maddie had purposely avoided meeting his friends, she knows how much they mean to him - especially Hen and her wife and the child they have together, the little boy that considers Chimney to be like an Uncle to him. It’s just… she’s not used to having a group of people. Doug had been popular but he had made it clear that his friends were his own and she was his and nobody else’s. She can remember how possessive he’d be around them, as though he wanted everyone to know that she belonged to him and how… quiet she had to be, so unlike herself that she had lost herself along the way. She couldn’t even remember the bright eyed eighteen  year old she had once been who would talk to anyone and everyone about everything. All she could remember was the feeling of his hand around her waist and his fingers holding onto her so hard, pressing into her stomach so deep, she’d have finger shaped bruises by the time the night ended. 

It’s different, she knows it’s different but it’s herself that she doesn’t trust most of the time. The level of intimidation she’d feel at the thought of meeting these people who actually mean something to him was intense. “I uh, was just coming to check on you because…” Maddie gulps down the lump in her throat knowing exactly what today is - the anniversary of his brother’s death. He’d asked her if she wouldn’t mind distracting him from the day and she had done her best but she can still see the lingering pain in his eyes. It had been ten years and whilst it had been twenty years for her, they’d bonded over that mutual loss in vastly different circumstances. “But I see that I’m not needed.” 

Riley, for all her five years, manages to pick up on the slight awkward tension almost immediately, “I’m Riley, mommy and Chimney are tired because they’re really old and they’ve been walking around the zoo all day and Chimney even came into the park with me and he said he hurt his back but I think that was an excuse not to come on the seesaw with me.” Her daughter talks fast and Maddie can see the amusement on the other woman’s face before she takes Riley’s lead, realising she can’t stay hidden from that huge part of Chimney’s life forever. 

She steps forward, one hand still trying to pull down the top to no avail, her bare legs on show and the shorts that were far too short revealing way more than she would have liked for her first meeting with Chimney’s best friend but there she is. It’s with a breath and her best smile that she holds out her hand, “I’m Maddie,  it’s nice to finally meet you.” 

She takes her hand,  giving it a small shake, but she can see the look in her eyes and the slight frown. Maddie wonders what Chimney has told his friends about her, chewing down awkwardly on the inside of her cheek as she waits for a response. “Hen… so you are real.” His arm is around her waist within seconds just as her cheeks flush once more and she looks to him for help. Whatever he’s told them about her, she supposes it starts and ends with every rejection she had provided him as to why she didn’t want to pop by the station or go out with Hen and Karen or go to Bobby and Athena’s house for dinner. He’d asked so many times and each time she had told him she wasn’t ready. It probably wasn’t the best first impression when they wanted to meet the person a member of their family was dating. 

“She is and now you can go spread that news that I don’t have an imaginary girlfriend.” There’s an annoyance in his tone, met with an amused smirk from his best friend as she looks Maddie up and down and she feels entirely intimidated and scrutinised right then as her heart thumps so hard against her chest, she’s almost sure they can hear it. 

“My mommy doesn’t have many friends, just one but Chimney has lots. I heard her telling my uncle. Are you Chimney’s friend?”  Said with all the innocence of a child as she holds up a single digit and Maddie might say something if she were wrong but she likes to keep herself to herself and she had a hard time letting people in. Josh had just managed to worm his way into her heart despite her best protests and Chimney… well, he was different. She feels drawn to him by some invisible force of fate. 

Hen ignores the man, opting to look down at the little girl in front of her instead, “I am Chimney’s best friend in the whole world and I have been dying to meet his girlfriend and you. I even invited you both around for a family barbecue this weekend but I have yet to hear back.” Chimney hadn’t mentioned it and that would hurt if she didn’t already know that her answer would have been a not yet,  she wasn’t ready. He was always waiting for her, always sacrificing something for her and she feels awful, especially if the current rumour was that she didn’t even exist. 

But now it’s been mentioned in front of Riley which means she will never let it go and Chimney’s arm wraps a little tighter around her as her other hand reaches to rest on the top of Riley’s head, ignoring the raised brow from the woman at the sight of the still blistering but healing burn on her arm. Her daughter smiles, “Will there be kids?” 

“There will be, I have a son named Denny, he’s eight and a little girl named Nia, she’s just three years old. And then our other friends have kids, too, don’t they, Chimney?” She wonders if, judging by the tone in her voice, Hen’s a little annoyed at her for not only avoiding family events but keeping Chimney from them by default. If they had a day off together, he’d spend it with her and the guilt is immense as she presses a little more into his side, wondering if it were possible for her to get any more socially awkward than she felt right then. 

“I’m five, nearly six. I’m six in eight months and three days, right mommy?” 

Nearly six, Maddie almost scoffs out loud at that one but nods her head instead. Hen has the same look on her face as most adults do when they meet Riley - one of shock that she’s quite as vocal as she is and amusement because as talkative as the little girl can be, she’d endearing too with her big, brown eyes and her long hair and ever innocent look on her face. “I’m sorry,” She finally finds herself saying, letting of the grip she’d had on the back of Chimney’s shirt with a shake of her head, “I don’t mean to seem rude or I don’t know, possessive, maybe? I-I don’t... “ She doesn’t know why Hen is looking at her the way she is but she can take a good guess, she might be awkward and shy but she had been a people person and a people pleaser once. “I don’t avoid stuff like that because I want him all to myself and I really am sorry if Chimney has missed things he shouldn’t have, it’s my fault. I’m just... “ Hard work, she finishes in her head before she frowns, “I was just putting it off for as long as I could because I was scared you all wouldn’t like me and I know how much you mean to him, so… I-I don’t know, I was scared of losing him because he respects your opinion and now I’ve done the opposite of my intention and you all probably think I’m an asshole…” 

Riley gasps and Maddie groans, “... who curses in front of her kid.” A childish giggle can be heard as she looks down and her daughter looks up at her with a big grin on her face, and she can see the pleading behind her eyes before she can actually voice what she wants to say aloud. “I would love to come to your barbecue if… if you still want me there and if not, that’s cool too because he can totally go alone, I am really not that kind of person, I promise. Even though I clearly make really bad first impressions, you can ask my best friend, I kind of snapped at him my first day and now we’re all good but--” 

“You’re rambling.” Chimney cuts her off, thankfully, because her chest is starting to get tight and she realises she's barely taken a breath between all that. Somehow, her body immediately relaxes when his lips are against her cheek and his arm moves a little tighter around her to pull her as close to his body as he possibly can. “I told you, she’s shy and she has Riley to think about, I didn’t want to push her into something she isn’t ready for.” 

Hen is about to open her mouth to say something, a sparkle of amusement in her eyes as Maddie cuts her off before she can, “But I am ready, if that’s okay?” 

“You heard the woman.” The grin on Chimney’s face is entirely worth it, even if she does make an awful first impression, he had asked her more than once to meet the people he loves and she had felt awful turning him down each and every time. But it’s been a few months and there’s parts of herself and her perception of relationships that she needs to reclaim for herself, no matter what happened once before. “You two can be in charge of the potato salad, is that okay?” 

Maddie wants to say no because neither she or Chimney can cook anything and somehow, she doesn't know how, but she’s sure they’ll mess it up. Instead, she nods her head and gulps down her lump in her throat, moving her hand to Riley’s shoulder when she can sense her about to say something, probably about her lack of kitchen abilities. “W-we’ll be there.” 

Chimney finally lets go of her, pressing a soft kiss to her temple before he steps forward, back towards the door that Hen had barely crossed the threshold of and Maddie hopes that it’s okay that he has someone now, other than her, who can be there for him on the painful days. “Thanks for coming, you really are a good friend.” 

She pulls her daughter towards the living room, deciding it best to give them a moment as both she and her daughter utter a goodbye to the other woman that would no longer be a stranger to her, she supposes, eyes watching as he wraps his arms around her and they smile at each other. It’s good that he has people, and those people have been by his side for such a long time. “Mommy?” 

“Yes, baby?” She looks down when she’s back on the couch as Riley snuggles into her side, wrapping an arm tightly around her until she’s almost on her lap. 

“I think you and Chimney should buy potato salad from the store or everybody might hate us.” 

Her voice is low, a serious look on her face and her eyes wide as she rests her chin on Maddie’s shoulder, causing her to scoff, nodding her head in agreement, “I think that’s a really good idea, baby. A really good idea.”

I was so entranced that when I looked up I totally forgot I was even in my dorm room lol, loved this! And poor Maddie! 😭❤️

Trigger fic. Early season 3 Maddie. She gets a head injury somehow. It’s a bad concussion but she’s had a LOT of those. She’s in the hospital and it’s like she’s forgotten she’s not in Hershey anymore with the head injury and confusion and she’s so lost in the trauma of it all that she calls Chim or Buck (your choice) Doug and keeps apologizing. Maybe Buck since he hasn’t seen a lot of her triggers. And I hurt my own heart bye 😉.

The last thing he should be thinking about is how awkward it’s going to be when Chimney turns up but with the lawsuit and everything that had happened over the last few days, he’d almost not even called him. But he’s Maddie’s boyfriend and if she were at all cognizant right then he knows that it’s Chimney she would be asking for. Buck gulps down the lump in his throat as he looks at his sister; it was the second time in less than a year he’d been next to her as she lies in a hospital bed and he hates every single second of it. 

More than anything though, he hates how terrified she looks at the moment, as though she’s not entirely with him. Her eyes are wide, darting from one side of the room to the other as her breathing quickens. She’s been this way since he’d found her and part of him is worried that she’d hit her head so hard that she’s actually done herself some serious damage and of course, he’s not even sure he’d be surprised. It’s the Buckley luck; a truck had crushed his leg and by some miracle, he could walk but that was where his luck had run out. Now he couldn’t work, or rather… Bobby wouldn’t let him work, even if he felt perfectly capable of doing so. 

He stares at her, wishing he could figure out whatever was going on in her head right then. She’d rang him when she must have gotten in from a date with Chimney, a little tipsy and upset, muttering something about how she didn’t know what to do or what to say because she was stuck in the middle between him and Chimney and she never wanted that. The guilt had started to creep in right then because he hadn’t thought about how his friend would feel about all the secrets that come out over the last few days until he was sitting across from him and then he hadn’t thought about the fall out that could come afterwards because Chimney was dating his sister. Of course it would be discussed, of course Maddie would feel the need to see both sides. She was always playing the diplomat between him and his parents and then with Doug, and now… with him and the people he used to call family. 

Buck wasn’t stupid, he had seen the hurt on the other man’s face when he’d been told that everyone knew about Bobby’s relapse apart from him. His frown deepens when he can visibly see his sister shaking as though she’s just realised where she is. He had rushed over to her apartment the moment she had stopped answering his texts, not even because he was worried about her but more so, he couldn’t stand the idea of another person hating him or being angry at him. He doesn’t know if there’s any turning back now for him and the rest of the 118 but he’d only just gotten his sister back. 

She must have slipped and hit her head on the sink, although he doesn’t know how, she hadn’t seemed that drunk on the phone. But there had been so much blood and even just seeing it and feeling it in entirely different circumstances from months previously in the snow, he was taken right back there for a moment. He’d had no choice but to call 911, she wasn’t responding and then when she was it was as though he wasn’t even in the room with her and she’s not said a single word and each passing second feels more painful than the last. 

“Maddie? I’m sure they’ll have your test results soon, we’ll be home before you know it and Chimney… he’ll be here soon.” He’s met with silence again and he tries not to read too much into it as he moves both of his hands to clasp over one of hers, squeezing tightly in the hopes it’ll pull her out of whatever she’s going through then. Her breathing is starting to quicken even more so and she looks more terrified than he’s ever seen her before, even more so than the times he had ran to her bedroom late at night after Doug had died, when she had been woken up from another nightmare. She just looks so scared right then and he feels more helpless than he ever has before. 

“What the hell happened?” 

Chimney’s voice is enough to pull both of their attention, watching as the man walks towards Maddie and carefully presses a hand against her cheek. It’s something he’s seen him do before and she always leans into the touch but right then, she flinches back as though he’s burnt her and all he can do is shake his head when the other man looks at him. Maddie seemingly isn’t going to answer, tears threatening to fall in her eyes as she so desperately avoids eye contact with either him or Chimney. Instead, he takes a breath, “I-I went to talk to her in person because she hung up on me and… I found her unconscious. I think she hit her head on the sink. She has a severe concussion, a few stitches but she’s pretty out of it.” 

He considers Chimney to be like a brother to him but right then, he’s not looking him in the eyes and it hurts. It hurts to know that he had hurt Chimney’s feelings and gotten his own hurt in the process. It’s just a mess… a complete and utter mess than he wishes he could have gone about differently but… he felt as though he hadn’t had a choice. He needed his job, he wasn’t anyone if he wasn’t a firefighter, he didn’t have a family if he didn’t have the 118.

He can see the confusion on his face, “She was tipsy when I dropped her off but she was okay,  just… we had a stupid argument about this lawsuit and it wasn’t a big deal or anything. But that was why I didn’t stay the night and… she was fine. I walked her to the door and… she was fine.” As guilty as Buck had felt, Chimney looked about ten times worse right then, carefully rubbing her arm in an attempt to get her attention. It does. And Buck quickly stands up at the intensity of which she snaps her head towards her boyfriend, fearful that she’s done more damage than she already has. 

“D-Doug?” He’s never heard his sister sound quite as petrified as she does right then,  his heart clenching and his head spinning. Chimney stumbles back a little, his face immediately paling, looking as though he’s about to throw up which is exactly how Buck feels right then. “I-I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I didn’t… I just… I don’t know what happened. I’m so sorry. Was my fault. I-I didn’t… I didn’t mean to.” 

The silence was better; Chimney looks as though he’s just been punched in the gut or as though Maddie may as well have just ripped his heart out and for that moment, everything outside of those hospital walls is forgotten when they look at each other. Even from where he’s standing he can see the way the man is trembling before he moves to stand next to Maddie’s bed, “Maddie, it’s… Chim--Howard. Howie. Doug is dead and you’re in LA with me and your brother, he’s just standing right on the other side of your bed, do you see?” 

The tears fall down her face and Buck can do nothing but watch as Chimney gently wipes them away, despite the way Maddie flinches at his touch. He doesn’t know whether this is concussion related or trauma related but there’s this awful tension that lingers in the air and he wants to reach out and hold his sister but he doesn’t want to make anything worse. “I’m sorry… I-I didn’t… it was… it was my fault… I must have…” She’s gasping for air and with each anguished sound, there’s an ache in his chest and his stomach flips. 

Chimney’s entire bloody slumps in defeat, turning away for just a second to wipe the tears that fall down his own face before he turns back to Maddie with a devastated look on his face. “It’s okay, Maddie, it wasn’t your fault. It’s going to be okay. Take a deep breath and close your eyes, I want you to breathe with me, okay? Your brother is right here, too and I promise, we’re gonna take care of you.” He doesn’t know how his voice can be so calming right then but he supposes it’s years of practice as a Paramedic. “There we go, nice deep breaths... you’re doing so good.” His voice is low, gentle, carefully brushing a hand over Maddie’s cheek as she moves to lie back, “Close your eyes and I promise that when you wake up, everything will be okay.”

Neither of them say another word until the even sounds of Maddie’s breathing can be heard and she’s stopped trembling as much and Chimney can’t take his eyes off of her, just in case she wakes up again. “I-is she okay?” Buck gulps, almost afraid of the answer, terrified that this is more than a concussion.  

“Yeah, she will be… just… confused, probably thought she was back in Hershey… thought I was… Doug.” He looks queasy just at the sound of his name, enough to cause a shudder to run down Buck’s spine when he thinks of everything Maddie had been through at the hands of her husband when he had been so unaware. “It happens… she has PTSD and when the concussion eases… she’ll be okay.” She’s not sure if he’s trying to convince himself more than he is Buck but he’s grateful for it anyway, sinking back down onto the chair as he holds Maddie’s hand once more. 

“Will we be okay?” 

Chimney is slow to sink down onto the chair on the other side of Maddie’s bed, taking her other hand in his own as he brushes his thumb against the back of her knuckles, “We’re family, Buck.” That’s enough of an answer, at least, although he still won’t look at him, feeling at least some of his fear easing as he stares at his sister’s anguished face whilst she sleeps. It’s a concussion, he tries to remind himself, trying to force himself to be as calm as Chimney is pretending to be right then, his heart beating fast and the tears falling before he can stop them, falling into a comfortable silence as they both focus on his sister.

Love this!! They really were in sync. It would even be fun to see some event happen where Maddie takes charge of a situation just specifically meant for her and the rest of the 118 are actually there just watching in awe or are helping and watching because I feel like sometimes people forget that Maddie used to be a Nurse and knows how to handle those types of situations.

If you're still taking prompts, you know how in the Pinned ep people were filming the "proposal" during the Madney date? They probably kept recording as it turned into an emergency and maddie and chim stepped in. It would be interesting to see the team find one of the videos. See how well chim and maddie work together even in an emergency like that one

“Has Maddie ever thought of being a paramedic?” 

Chimney looks up in confusion at the sound of his best friend's voice, watching as she stares down at her phone, though she doesn’t offer any further information. It’s hour twenty in a twenty-four shift, conversations start to get a little weird or random around this time, so he doesn’t think too much of it. “I don’t think so?” He decides to answer, with a shrug of his shoulders, glancing back down at his own phone. 

“Me and you work well together and you’re going to need that kind of relationship with your next partner. Someone you can work in sync with, someone who gets you.” Their eyes meet when both of them look up, a frown on his face as his nose scrunches up in confusion whilst Hen throws her phone towards him which he luckily (for her) catches. “You two have gone… what do the kids say, viral?” 

It’s with furrowed eyebrows that he turns her phone over in his hand, looking at the screen. It’s a familiar scene, paused on both he and Maddie kneeling down next to the woman in the restaurant. It had only been a few days ago, the memory surpassed by the fact that Maddie had been held at gunpoint the day after. The woman was doing as well as she could be considering the extent of her crush injuries but Chimney knows, if he and Maddie hadn’t been there, it could have ended a lot differently. “Wait, someone recorded this?” 

He bites down on his bottom lip as he presses play, staring at the two of them as they pass the tablecloth between them, hands moving so perfectly in sync with each other. He can barely remember any of it, if he’s honest with himself, it had happened so quickly, he’d reacted on instinct, just as he had over a decade ago in the karaoke bar when the woman had been set alight. 

Maybe it should have been more memorable than it was, but he supposes he’s seen so much over his years with the 118. He smiles as he looks at the way he’s looking at Maddie before the recording cuts off, leaving him to play it again, focusing on her. She looks beautiful, that was his very first thought that night. And then all he could think about was how much he loved her, more than he had ever loved anyone, so intensely, so beautifully. And then he had blurted the words out, even though it wasn’t how he had rehearsed. 

Mostly, what he can remember of that night is how he felt. Happy, excited, hopeful and amazed that this was his life and Maddie was his girlfriend and she loved him and he loved her and… this was so unlike anything he could have imagined. It’s with a sigh that he leans over to hand the phone back to Hen, “You two work really well together, Chim.” Her voice is softer this time and he thinks, maybe, he can see tears in her eyes because she has been with him through everything. Every heartbreak, every moment of doubt, every time he had said he was going to be lonely for the rest of his life. “If she isn’t going to be your next paramedic partner, maybe you could take that connection you have and put it into something else. Something better. Something you’ve always wanted.” 

Chimney groans, rolling his eyes at the not so subtle comments from his best friend, trying to ignore that all too familiar feeling that pulsates through him right then. Being a father had always been something he wanted but he and Maddie hadn’t really discussed it beyond ‘someday’ and Maddie is thirty-seven and maybe someday will never come for them but it doesn’t matter because she’s all the family he needs. The longing is still there though, imagining a daughter of their own, an image he quickly shakes from his head. 

“Nice segway into that conversation, Hen.” He finally settles on, a smirk on his face that he hopes hides his true feelings on the matter before he shrugs his shoulders and turns his attention back to his phone. Maybe they could have the conversation one day, but for now, he texts Maddie with a quick ‘apparently we’re internet famous now’ as he laughs to himself. 

This was so good!! ❤️😭

Riley AU angst. Riley makes an off handed comment about her dad/inquires about her dad in front of Chimney and it brings up the dreaded conversation Maddie has been trying to avoid. Maybe even though she was only little when they left, Riley actually remembers more than Maddie thinks she does (kids are sponges and she's still young enough that she may remember, especially if it was at all traumatic).

“Do you have a daddy, Chimney?”

The question seemingly comes from nowhere and Maddie bites down on her lip as she sits up a little, glancing between her daughter who had been looking at her iPad and Chimney who had been immersed in the movie they were watching. She wants to tell him he doesn’t have to answer if he doesn’t want to but he looks over at her daughter as she looks at him with big, eager eyes and a curious look on her face.

“I kind of have two dads.” He finally settles on, a frown on his lips as he tries to find the words to explain it, whilst she gently puts her hand on the back of his. “I have the dad that I sort of grew up with but uh, we don’t really talk much anymore. He moved away to Korea when I was eleven and I haven’t seen him since in person. I speak to him on the phone sometimes but he’s not really… interested.”

Maddie knows it’s a lot more complicated than that and the five year old scrunches up her nose but slowly nods her head as though she understands. “What about your other dad?”

Whilst Chimney had been tense and apprehensive, he perks up at that, a smile on his lips, “Mr Lee, when my mom died I was just fourteen and I had nowhere to go. I couldn’t go to Korea and I didn’t want to, I wanted to stay here because this is home. And Mr and Mrs Lee took me in, Mrs Lee was my mom’s best friend and I lived with them for a long time. I don’t… see them much anymore. Their--well, my brother, he died… and they’re still really sad.”

Omgggg, what a great idea! Like, I was never obsessed with the Hunger Games but I did watch the series and read the books and they were good, but why can I see a whole AU fan fiction with many chapters set in this world!?!?!? Or what about Divergent, or The Fault in Our Stars, or Safe Haven, or omg my favorite book series The Darkest Minds. Ahhhh I want to write something like that now!!! My brain needs to stop, too many ideas and not enough time to write everything! 😭❤️

Although I think I just figured out all the AUs I’m gonna write for Madney sooo....

MADNEY + hunger games 😈

Maddie has a plan, she has a little brother to get home to and if she doesn’t make it home, he will be alone. She has to fight, even if her heart is screaming at her not to do this - how can she kill another person? But there she is, crouching down in the darkness until she can’t hide anymore and she’s swift to reveal herself, knife held to the throat of a boy she knows only as Chimney, “You don’t have to do this”

😭❤️

49. “Who hurt you?”

Maddie sniffs as she stares down at her bruised and swollen wrist, trying not to get lost in the gentleness and the kindness of the doctor as he examines her head. He’s apprehensive, just an intern, he had told her before he had stumbled over his words and asked her if she wanted him to get a resident instead. She had hoped an intern would be easier to fool, that less questions would be asked or he wouldn’t notice the ones that went unanswered. She was studying to be a nurse, she knew her wrist wasn’t broken, just badly sprained and a few stitches in her head and everything would be okay again. 

“Who hurt you?” The question isn’t delicate at all, a look of concern in his eyes, and she realises he hadn’t believed her fumbled excuse of tripping outside the steps of the library. It had been what happened, but she’d had a little help from her boyfriend in the tripping process during an argument over how she spent more time with her friends than she did with him. They were only twenty-one and had only known each other for not even a year, she hadn’t been prepared for such a serious relationship in the midst of what were meant to be the best years of her life. Not with him anyway. 

She couldn’t leave him, she had tried to break up with him several times but it always ended the same and she doesn’t know what to do. Maddie is embarrassed because to the outside world, he’s the perfect boyfriend. He wines and dines her, buys her expensive gifts, talks about her as though she is his entire world and her friends swoon over him, even her parents absolutely adore him. He’s going to be a surgeon, he’s going to give her a good life, what more could she ask for?

Maddie chews down on her bottom lip as she mulls the question over. This was the worst he had hurt her in their short relationship but it was escalating with every single time. This time, he’d pushed her down a flight of concrete stairs and it could have ended worse than it had. Although, a cracked head, two broken ribs, a sprained wrist and a broken ankle wasn’t exactly something to be ignored. He was volatile, she had met his parents and she could see why. He was entitled and snotty and she has no idea why he had ever shown an interest in her in the first place but she had gotten lost in the romance of it all and now, she’s thinking of dropping out of college because she can’t tell the police. Dr Kendall, his father, has more contacts and money than she could ever imagine. Her parents had nothing, she was on a scholarship and Doug liked to remind her of the fact his dad had more power over the administrators of their college than she would care to imagine. 

She doesn’t know if he’s being honest but the threat always lingers in the air which is enough.

Gentle hands of Dr Han move to her wrist, brushing his fingers along the bruised skin there as he examines it. “The x-ray shows that it’s just a sprain, so I’ll wrap it up for you.” He takes a breath and she wonders if he’s going to push the subject any further because she still hasn’t replied. “Your ankle is broken though, I’m gonna get a consultation from ortho but we should have you fixed up in no time.” 

“My boyfriend.” She finally says, looking into the kind of eyes of this stranger, “He pushed me down the stairs during an argument.” She tries to disassociate herself from what had happened and she wishes that she could say it was a one-off and it would never happen again but she knows better. She wishes she didn’t but she does. “His dad works at this hospital, he’s probably going to work here one day too and he’ll work his way up quicker than everyone else because that’s just the way it goes when your daddy is the Chief of Surgery, right?” Now it’s obvious, the words have been spoken and there’s no getting out of it as she looks at the young, handsome doctor standing in front of her with a frown on his face, eyes darting from one side of her face to the other as though he’s trying to find the words to speak right then. “Anyways, it’s fine. I know we need to break up, I’m just figuring out how to do that without him hurting me again or figuring out a way to take everything away from me. It’s not like I can just switch colleges. You probably think I’m an idiot.” 

“No, no, I do not think you’re an idiot. I uh, I’m just trying to figure out what to say without sounding like I’m patronizing you.” There’s a nervous edge to his voice that elicits a laugh from her as she shrugs her shoulders. 

“It’s fine, you don’t have to say anything. I’ll figure it out, don’t worry about me. I’ve been figuring things out for as long as I can remember.” Maybe she can last it out another year until she graduates and then dump him, pack her bags and run off to the first hospital that will hire her. It’s not the best plan in the world because if he pushed her down a flight of stairs in a moment of anger, she doesn’t know what else he’s capable of in the next year, especially when she has finals and her family are going to want her back for the holidays and that’ll become a sore point, too. He doesn’t like anything that takes her away from him, either in person or of mind. Possessive doesn’t even begin to describe him. 

“Listen, I am totally overstepping here and I can go grab another doctor if this makes you feel uncomfortable but if you ever need somewhere safe to stay or someone to help you, I can give you my number?” The flush of his cheeks is endearing and she can’t believe she’s even thinking of flirting with him given the circumstances but still, she tilts her head to the side with a small smile. 

“And what would I put your contact down as? Dr Han?” 

His laugh makes her heart skip a beat and she almost rolls her eyes at her own thoughts, watching him wrap her wrist with more care and consideration than she could ever imagine from the man who had said ‘I love you’ on their second date barely a year ago. “Howie, my friends call me Howie.” 

Maddie feels herself sitting up a little straighter as she smiles, “That’s a kind offer, Howie, I wouldn’t want to put you in the line of fire in any way at all. Especially not if you have to work in the same place as his father.” 

All he does is shrug his shoulders as he pulls out a card from his pocket, writing a number on the back of it, “My ma was in an abusive relationship, if someone could have reached out to help her in whatever way possible, it would have saved her life. Besides, even if you’re not ready to leave him, it’s always good to have a friend, right?” 

Her heart aches for him when she sees the pain in his eyes, nodding her head a little when she takes the card from his outstretched hand, wanting to apologise for his mom but not sure she can utter those words without bursting into tears. That wasn’t her future, she was certain of that because… she could get out. She just needed to figure out how and when. “Right.” She whispers, staring down at his number as she smiles sadly. “I really am going to be okay though but uh, I’m a nursing student, so it always helps to have friends in the medical field.” She tries to play it down with a casual shrug of her shoulders, knowing by the look in his eyes that he sees right through it. 

He opens his mouth to say something, only for the curtains to open, “Hey, babe, I bought a hot chocolate.” And Howie’s mouth slams closed as he does everything in his power not to look at the man he knows is responsible for why she is in that hospital bed right then. 

“Thanks. I was just telling Dr Han here about my clumsy tumble down the stairs.” 

There’s a hand on her shoulder and she sees the way the doctor flinches as he tries to focus on her ankle, as though he hadn’t already examined it, “That’s right, she’d pulled another all nighter and I guess she won’t be doing that again.” Maddie gulps, looking up at her boyfriend with a nod of her head. No, she won’t be doing that again.
