Tremmett

Tremmett is the Slash ship between Travis Montgomery and Emmett Dixon from the Station 19 fandom.

Canon
Travis and Emmett first meet in 3x7 when they wake up the morning after sleeping together. Emmett joins Travis in the shower, who seems surprised that he hasn't left yet. Emmett asks him if he wants him to leave, to which Travis says he doesn't, and the two of them make out. Emmett arrives at the station later that morning and Travis is shocked to find out he is a firefighter. Travis asks him why he didn't tell him, to which Emmett tells him he never asked.

Things are tense between the two for a while. Emmett is shown to be ignoring Travis. When their captain, Maya, throws Emmett into a tough situation on his first shift, Travis tries to help him and offer him support. Emmett continues to ignore him. After the shift, the gang go out drinking, where Emmett asks them how they handle the job every day. Once they are left alone at the table, Travis tries to start a conversation, but Emmett brushes him off, telling him he has a girlfriend. Travis seems disappointed by the news and leaves.

Travis starts being harsher on Emmett, judging him for not being good enough at the job. He criticizes all his mistakes and scolds him for not trying hard enough. Emmett's dad, Michael, threatens Maya not to put Emmett in any more dangerous situations, which just makes Travis even angrier at Emmett. He tries to explain himself, but Travis ignores him.

When Diane, a psychologist, comes in to talk to the team about the death of one of their own, Rigo, she notices the tension between the two and asks Travis about it. He outs Emmett and is scolded by Diane, who is fine with Travis talking about his own issues publicly but not someone else's. Using code names, Travis admits that he hates Emmett because he doesn't fight against his dad for the right to be himself. Diane tells Travis that Emmett isn't a coward for not coming out, Travis is just braver than him.

Travis and Emmett go together to deliver food to Rigo's wife's house, but she shuts the door in their face. Emmett later goes over to Travis' house and the two share a kiss.

On his day off, Travis is roped into having lunch with Emmett, Michael, and Emmett's girlfriend, Alicia. He listens to stories about how Emmett and Alicia met, the latter unaware of the tension between the two. Travis is impressed when Alicia shows him some of Emmett's artwork, and Emmett appreciates the compliments. Travis tells Alicia he's gay, and she tells him that she's planning on proposing to Emmett. He tries to talk her out of it, saying she will be signing up for a lifetime of heartbreak if she marries Emmett. She asks him to look out for Emmett so that she doesn't lose him. Travis ends things with Emmett, telling him he's destroying Alicia's life. He says he has to tell her the truth before telling Emmett to never talk to him again.

Emmett continues to try and talk to Travis, to no avail. They get locked in a storage facility together, where Emmett tries once again to explain himself to Travis. He begins to panic, which leads to him running out to air. Travis shares his oxygen tank with Emmett, reassuring him and helping him to breathe until they escape the facility.

Michael announces to the station that Alicia has proposed to Emmett and they are engaged. Travis hears the news and leaves, hurt. Emmett follows him, apologising. He tells him that he loves Alicia, but that he also thinks he loves Travis too. Travis tells him that he doesn't love either one of them, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten engaged.

Inspired by the heroic death of their ex captain, Emmett comes out to the team. Travis shakes his hand and tells him he's proud of him.

Emmett starts to freak out on the job, angering Maya when he refuses to follow orders. She starts being harsher on him, ordering him to do the most mundane tasks and talking to him like a child. Travis' best friend Vic finds out that he's been sleeping with Emmett and asks if he's in love with him. Travis tells her they're just friends, but admits they can't stop sleeping together.

After a particularly tough shift, in which Emmett is held at gun point by a drug addict before watching her die after being hit by a car, he admits that he never passed his exams and finally realises he isn't cut out to be a firefighter. He ends up quitting his job and coming out to his dad. He finds Travis at the bar to tell him this and, after a moment of hesitation, kisses him in public for the first time.

At a party, Emmett tries to tell Travis he loves him, but he pretends he can't hear him over the music. Later on, Travis and Ben, another firefighter, are sharing shameful secrets with a rescue to make him feel better about himself. Travis admits to sleeping with Emmett when he was engaged. He tells them that he's sleeping with Emmett because he likes it, despite knowing that Emmett is falling in love with him. When asked if he loves Emmett, he says he doesn't.

Michael gets fired and the team have a party to celebrate. Emmett and Travis dance together before Emmett asks to talk to him in private. He thanks Travis for helping him, telling him that he admires and is grateful for him. Emmett tells Travis he loves him before kissing him. Travis apologises for not loving him back and Emmett kisses him one last time before leaving, heartbroken.

In season four, Travis joins a gay dating app and ends up finding his dad on it. He bumps into Emmett, who is back at the station to testify in a hearing. They awkwardly catch up before Travis is called away. During the hearing, Michael outs Emmett for political gain.

Travis talks to one of their rescues, who encourages him to find some gay friends. This motivates him to speak to Emmett again, asking if they can be friends. He tells Emmett that he really cares about him and still wants him in his life. Emmett agrees and the two become friends. Travis confronts his dad about his sexuality when he finds out he's cheating on his mum.

Emmett volunteers at the hospital, COVID testing. He tests Travis and Vic, discussing Vic's new crush. Emmett asks Travis if he's dating, who tells him he was before he found out about about his dad.

It is revealed that the person Vic has a crush on is Theo, the guy who got Travis' husband, Michael, killed. He falls out with Vic for a while over it. Emmett tries to convince Travis to talk to Vic about it, telling him he's going to live a lonely life if he doesn't let Michael go. Vic accuses Travis of having a crush on Emmett. She eventually gets through to him and he forgives her for dating Theo.

Emmett is relieved that he and Vic are friends again, and she encourages Travis to ask him out. He tells him that he's finally ready to move on from Michael. However, Travis chickens out when Emmett asks if he's met anyone. When his dad comes in for COVID testing after being exposed by his secret male lover, he tries to convince him to be with the man he loves. Travis later confronts him over the night he came out himself, telling his dad everything he needed to hear back then.

With Vic's encouragement, Travis once again tries to ask out Emmett. He tells him he's glad they're friends, but chickens out again when Emmett tells him he's glad he got over him. Emmett goes to Travis and Vic's house to warn them that his dad is at the station. Vic questions why he came over instead of just texting and Travis finally admits to her that he has feelings for him. He says it's pointless because Emmett refers to them as friends whenever possible, but Vic tries to convince him to go for it. Travis tries to send Emmett a flirty text and is overheard by Ben, who asks if they're back together.

Later on, Travis meets up with his dad and it's shown that the two are on better terms. He tells his son that he's in love with his secret male lover. He asks Travis if he's in love with anyone, but he says he hasn't been since he lost his husbands. His dad tells him he deserves love, which encourages him to ask Emmett to go to Maya's wedding with him.

At the wedding, Theo asks if Emmett and Travis are dating. He tells Theo they were together before he broke Emmett's heart. He encourages Travis to go for it, saying his husband wouldn't want him to be alone. Vic once again encourages him to tell Emmett, who in return accepts hers and Theo's relationship. Travis catches Emmett in the toilets and confesses his feelings, acknowledging what went wrong last time and saying he wants them to be together. Emmett initially rejects him, as it was hard for him to get over Travis and he doesn't think he can do it again. He says he likes being friends and Travis turns to leave, but Emmett grabs him by the arm and pulls him into a kiss. They are later seen slow dancing together.

In season five, Travis and Emmett are officially together. Emmett joins crisis one, alongside Dean and Vic. After sleeping together, Travis initiates a deep conversation about life. He talks about how weird life is, and Emmett tells him that he'd sign up for it regardless if it meant he could be with him. Travis tells him he's afraid he's signing up for more pain but reassures Emmett that he wants them to be together and the two share a kiss. They compete with Theo and Vic to see who can have the most sex.

Travis continues to resent his dad for not being honest with his mum. He considers the idea of telling her himself, but Emmett shuts him down, telling him it's not his truth to tell. Emmett tries to ask Travis to move the picture of him and his husband out of their bedroom, but Travis is distracted by texts from his mum. He talks to Vic and Maya about it, who remind him he's not great at listening when he's obsessing over something. Vic gets annoyed when he brings up his family situation again, telling him that other people have issues too.

Vic gets electrocuted during a rescue and Travis takes care of her. Emmett finds Carina, Maya's wife, at the station and they talk about the worry that comes with loving firefighters. Emmett arrives at the scene and Vic encourages Travis to tell him he loves him. He does, and Emmett says it back.

Travis' parents attend Thanksgiving dinner at the station, and Emmett reminds him not to bring up his dad's affair. His dad calls him out on wanting everyone to live by his standards, something that Emmett and Vic have both tried to tell him multiple times. They each go around saying what they're thankful for. Emmett says he's thankful for his love, but Travis doesn't acknowledge it. He riles his dad up to the point where he breaks, outing himself in front of everyone. His mum leaves, angry at Travis for pushing his dad and ruining their happiness. When Emmett goes to check on him, Travis asks why he isn't on his side. Emmett tells him there are no sides. His dad tells him he feels free now that he's out and reminds Travis that he's always here for both him and his mum.

Emmett gives Travis a nude painting of himself for Christmas, which he pretends to like but later agrees to hang it above their bed.

A while later, Theo confronts Travis over his feelings for Emmett. He tells him he doesn't love Emmett the way he loved his husband. He advises him to figure it out and end things with Emmett, saying it's cruel if he doesn't. He confesses that he's still angry with his dad and that it's making him hate Emmett a little bit because he understands and sympathies with his dad. He tells Theo that his lack of respect for his dad is making him lose respect for Emmett. He also admits that he has no idea how either of them love him because he's a "monster" for thinking this, but Theo reassures him that he's allowed to feel the way he feels.

Travis pulls away from Emmett when he tries to rest a hand on his leg, and Vic confronts him on it, having noticed the tension between the two. Travis later admits to a rescue that he's falling out of love with his boyfriend, unaware that Emmett is standing right behind him. Andy, another firefighter, reassures him that he's not a horrible person and encourages him to talk to Emmett and be honest about his feelings. Travis tells Theo that he hasn't broken up with Emmett because he doesn't want to be the guy that breaks his heart twice. Theo asks if he loves Emmett and Travis says he does.

Travis tries to come up with ways to win Emmett back when he starts ignoring his calls, but Vic advises him to just talk to him about his issues with his dad. She reassures him that it's okay if he doesn't really want to get back together with Emmett. An angry Emmett visits the station to tell Travis to stop calling him. As he walks away, Travis says he loves him and Emmett whispers "no you don't" under his breath. Travis tries to explain himself, telling him he was holding a grudge against his dad and taking it out on Emmett. He tells him he loves him, but Emmett says he might love him but he doesn't respect him. He says he can't be with Travis anymore because he respects himself, even if he is like Travis' dad. He tells him to never call him again before leaving.

A few days later, Travis is unsure whether they're broken up or not. Vic and Jack, another firefighter, assure him that it's over and claim it was long overdue. They see each other that same day when Emmett is sent on the same call as Travis as a crisis one representative. Things are awkward between them and Travis tries not to be left alone with Emmett. Once they're home, Travis finally admits to Vic that he doesn't think he ever loved Emmett, he just didn't want to be alone. Despite this, he gets back together with Emmett when the latter shows up at his door, saying he wants them to be together. He says he knows Travis loves him and hugs him, forgiving him for everything.

Emmett invites Travis to his dad's birthday dinner. His mum, Kitty, brings up Alicia and the fact that she won't have grandchildren now. Emmett admits that he still wants to have kids and Travis agrees, saying he's open to it with the right person. This causes some tension between the two. Travis ends up falling out with Michael over his idea to shut down Crisis one. Emmett tries to calm him down, saying it's not worth it, but Travis carries on lashing out. He tells Michael that Emmett hates him, who in turn accuses Travis of making him gay. Emmett denies this and claims he is only a laughing stock because Michael is his father. He tells Travis to let it go, that he can fight his own fights, but Travis disagrees. This hurts Emmett, who finally realises just what Travis thinks of him.

Travis finds Emmett sitting outside and joins him. Emmett tells him that if he reminds Travis of his dad, then Travis reminds him of his own. He finally acknowledges the fact that they shouldn't be together, but realises they are both afraid of letting go. He tells Travis that he got into an art program and that he's moving away. Travis tells him that he's one of the most amazing people he's ever met and, although he is hurt by the way Travis has treated him, Emmett thanks him for everything. Travis apologises for all the hurt he's caused and tells Emmett he cares about him. They say goodbye and Travis leaves, officially ending their relationship for good. Emmett then moves away, off-screen.

In season six, Michael dies. Before he dies, he confesses that, out of all the boys Emmett brought home, Travis was always his favourite.
