Take What You Need, Darling

By allyasavedtheday

Summary:

“Who are you?”

And Eddie intends to answer him, he really does, except-

“You must be Eddie,” the woman says, her earlier hostile tone being replaced with the utmost civility. “Maddie’s fiancé.”

Evan reels back like he’s been punched, snapping his gaze frantically between Eddie and Maddie. “Maddie’s what?”

“How rude of us,” the woman says, drifting away from Maddie’s bedside to come stand in front of him instead. “Eddie, I’m Margaret and this is my husband, Phillip. It really is so lovely to meet you.”

[buckssuspenders]

Welcome to my Valley of Secrets

By the_milky_way

Summary:

He’s not here to get drunk, just to get away for an hour or two. To stop himself from thinking about the papers burning a hole into his kitchen table. To stop himself from feeling so unspeakably guilty for not having been able to provide a stable, happy family for his son.

or

It's a love story. This is how Eddie and Evan meet. This is how Evan becomes Buck. It's a story about getting together, about building something important before California is a destination even worth thinking about, before the 118 turns into their found family.

i was supposed to sweat you out ( i think there's been a glitch )

By heartbeatdiaz

Summary:

"What's your problem, man?"

"You. You're my fucking problem, Diaz."

There were a lot of problems with Eddie Diaz, if you ask Buck. The guy is obnoxiously good at everything without even trying, he's too perfect, too confident.

And the biggest problem of them all: Eddie's an attractive asshole that features more often than not in Buck's filthiest dreams.

The Buck and Eddie meet at the fire academy, rivals to lovers fic.

How did we end up here, in this valley of secrets?

By the_milky_way

Summary:

They should have told them. Or at least they should have told Bobby. Because if they had Buck wouldn’t be desperately searching for an explanation as to why they need to go by Christopher’s school right now.

or:

Buck and Eddie have a secret. Christopher getting a little sick at school is sort of the catalyst for it no longer remaining a secret.

keep me as your finish line

By thatbuddie (talktothesky)

Summary:

“Oh no, we’re not doing this.” Chimney pops a bubble with the gum he’s been chewing as he moves one of his fingers back and forth to point between The-Man-who-isn’t-Buck’s-man-he’s-just-The-Man and Buck. “You didn’t drag me to the gym just so you can ditch me to fuck some guy in the showers."

Buck lowers his voice, leaning forward as if trying to make the words’s journey shorter between him and Chimney so they can’t escape and reach anyone else’s ears,“I wouldn’t fuck him in the showers.”

Chimney’s response is wordless in the form of an eyebrow raise.

“Not anymore, okay?” Buck clarifies, rolling his eyes. “That’s not who I am now."

(spoiler alert: Buck does fuck the guy in the showers. but that comes after nicknaming him Big Beautiful Brown Eyes, finding out his name is actually Eddie, becoming his best friend, and falling madly in love with him.)

last friday night

By sky_of_starflowers

Summary:

Before Eddie moves himself and Chris to L.A., he visits his Abuela and Tía Pepa to see if the city would be a good fit. Abuela and Tía Pepa proceed to kick him out of the house and tell him to go enjoy a night on the town, which means Eddie ends up at a club, feeling too old, and gets hit on by a regular, one month out of the LAFD fire academy.

Or, Eddie meets and exchanges handjobs with Buck 1.0 in a club bathroom. They don't exchange names so Eddie doesn't know who Buck is until they've just survived a grenade nearly blowing up in their faces.

Keep the Evenings Long

By allyasavedtheday

Summary:

He’s getting more gauze for Chim to treat the brunette with the definitely broken nose when the door to the back room bursts open and- well.

There’s a man standing there. He’s in a soaking wet white t-shirt that clings to his biceps and his abs in a way that leaves absolutely nothing to the imagination. As if that weren’t bad enough, his curls are plastered to his head and his blue eyes are ridiculously wide as he thrusts out his hands and says, “I brought ice. Do you need ice?”

Eddie drops the gauze.

Hen seems to be the first one to recover – makes sense, he thinks absently, she’s a lesbian. She must be immune. “We have our own ice packs, Buckaroo,” she says patiently.

“Right. Sorry.” the guy – Buck, apparently – ducks his head bashfully, stepping further into the room and tossing the bag of ice he’d brought with him into one of the cooler buckets.

*

A vaguely Coyote Ugly au in which the 118 keeps getting called out to Athena's bar, Eddie cannot deal with the wet t-shirt-wearing bartender, and Buck's just trying to figure out what to do with his life.

Starts with the Heart

By wallhaditcoming (uvcatastrophe)

Summary:

After a bad day at the firehouse, Buck has a run in at his gym with a guy he's never met before. Before things can get out of control, an emergency crops up. After the two of them work it together, Buck finds a friend in Eddie, who it turns out is enrolled in the LA fire academy. It turns out that Eddie is just as good at helping Buck work through his shit as he is at helping Eddie work out on the bag. Finding his footing after Abby left was hard, but Buck's starting to think that figuring out what he feels for Eddie is going to be even harder.

Summary:

Buck and Eddie meet at a bar a week before Eddie starts at the 118. This would be fine, if it weren’t for the fact that Eddie had abandoned Buck in the parking lot with his pants undone.

a touch of someone else (to save me from myself)

By allyasavedtheday

Summary:

Of course, all of that comes to a grinding halt when he stops outside the locker room to find arguably one of the hottest guys he’s ever seen getting changed right by his locker.

He stands there, gaping and trying desperately to get his mind out of the gutter – but Jesus, those abs – when someone bumps his shoulder and he turns to find Hen sidling up to him.

“Enjoying the view?” she asks with a knowing smirk.

Buck raises an eyebrow, feeling the corners of his mouth turn up in a smirk of his own. “He from B shift or something?”

Hen’s about to answer him when Bobby appears on his other side. “That’s Eddie Diaz, our new recruit.”

Buck’s brain does some approximation of a record scratch and he whirls around to face Bobby. “New recruit? Why?”

My Love For You is Stronger than Amnesia

By Mumucow_xD

Summary:

“Wow…you are a lot hotter than in the photos. Are you sure you are Eddie?” And okay, Eddie didn’t trip on his own feet, no. The floor was just slippery and he needed to warn the nurses about it because someone could fall. “Oh, and you are cute too when you get red cheeks and are all clumsy.”

This was going to be the death of him, he never met Buck 1.0 but he knew how flirty he could be, he had heard the stories but he had never been on the receiving end of it so it was very different. It didn’t help either that whenever Eddie had a crush or feeling for someone that his brain would decide to shut down any control over his own body.

Got Your Measure

By thelonggoodbye

Summary:

Hen is relatively certain she has their new probie, Buck, figured out. Him saying he has a husband throws her for a loop, but who hasn't lied to a naked man in handcuffs flirting with them before? But Buck only gets more confusing from there.

pining and anticipation (I don't want you like a best friend)

By heartbeatdiaz

Summary:

"Okay, fine." Eddie rolls his eyes and rests his elbows on the table, leaning a little bit. Buck gets distracted by how Eddie's muscles look on that tight shirt he's wearing. "Show me, then."

Buck slowly moves his gaze from Eddie's arms to his face. "S-show you what?"

"Show me your game." Eddie smirks and leans in a little bit more, his muscles straining against his sleeves. "Hit on me."

"W-what? Eddie, c'mon."

"What? You're the expert, right?" Eddie takes another sip from Buck's beer and gazes up at him, his eyes are heavy-lidded.

"I guess I did say that, yeah."

"So teach me. Show me the Buck 1.0 moves or whatever." He grins at him and moves his hand, brushes his knuckles against Buck's forearm— ghosting over his skin.

Buck gets goosebumps and pulls away, nearly falling off his stool.

When he straightens, wincing, Eddie is grinning at him, delight all over his face. "Who doesn't have game now, Buckley?"

or:

Buck inadvertently challenges Eddie to try to hit on him by laughing at the fact that the guy has no game. It ends up being the best thing ever.

Buddie Fic Recs

AKA Talented Mutuals Tuesday

Except I spent so long making this list that the timezones changed over BUT I wanted to show my mutuals some love and now that we are going into the hiatus I thought you might all like a list of quality fics to keep you occupied while there is no new Weewoo show. 

I don't know if anyone will actually want to join in on this but if you do the rules are simple:

SHOW YOUR MUTUALS SOME LOVE! Share your favourite fics, (or gifs, edits, literally anything that your very talented mutuals have made), as many or as few as you like but let's share the love around <3

Apologises in advance for the long post btw

@speaknowdiaz I would literally read anything that April writes and would probably sell a limb for the incredible WIPs I know she's still cooking up but here are a couple of my faves:

pining and anticipation (I don't want you like a best friend)

Buck challenges Eddie to try to hit on him after teasing Eddie for not having any ‘game’. This fic is very funny and very soft.

believe in one thing (i won't go away)

This fic hit me straight in the feels. Buck and Eddie go to couples therapy even though they aren't a couple and they work through some stuff.

◊

@thosetwofirefighters Incredible amazing Nat ily xx

Say It All Out Loud

Eddie comes out to Aunt Pepa after his ‘date’ with Vanessa. I am a little bit biased towards this one because she did write it for me but it's honestly just so good!

How to Cure Boredom: Buckley Edition

The 118 are stuck at the firehouse during a slow shift and Buck entertains them all by mattress-surfing the loft stairs. It’s soft and silly and in the same universe as her other fic Safe in His Arms.

◊

@loveyourownsmiilee The wonderful amazing Juju not only writes incredible meta and keeps us all fed with Oliver content but Juju also writes wonderful buddie fic. 

When Were You Under Me?

Who doesn’t love a Friends AU. This is Buck and Eddie as Ross and Rachel and it is hilarious and so sweet. 

You should also check out her Buddie Language Meta if you have not read it before <3

◊

@elvensorceress Jenwyn’s work always astounds me so be sure to check these out:

Color Him Father, Color Him Love

I will scream from the rafters how much I adore this fic and yes it did make me cry (happy tears). It’s a look into Buck’s head after his sperm donor kid is born and he realizes what Christopher (and Eddie) truly mean to him. I know I have recced this before but it deserves all the love. 

Unless You Ask Me To

Eddie dates a man for the first time, and Buck is completely 'Fine'. This is a preemptive rec because it is one chapter away from completion and I have been saving it to binge in one sitting but knowing Jenwyn and her incredible talent I guarantee this will be worth the read. 

◊

@spotsandsocks If anyone’s work is guaranteed to make me sob like a baby (happy, sad, or tears of laughter) it’s Spotty. 

Everything But (temptation)

This is Spotty’s newest fic and it's just brilliant. Buck is practicing extreme self-control whilst Eddie is being an irresistible menace. 

Could Have, Should Have, Would Have

Buck finally tells Eddie he loves him right before Eddie’s new boyfriend is supposed to meet Christopher. Honestly, all I can say about this fic is that it’s a masterpiece and I screamed many times while reading it. 

◊

@shortsighted-owl Wonderful amazing Owly (Abbi). I appreciate you so and you make my dash so happy xx

Of foam-moustached kisses, and button combinations

For all your sweet domestic buddie needs this is the fic. Eddie is practicing a video game to get better than Chris and Buck makes fun of his ex-technophobe boyfriend. 

Also THIS EDIT SET to the lyrics of You’re All That I Have by Snow Patrol make me assdffgghjjklkll

◊

@lilbuddie Okay, this one is just a brag because Minja doesn’t actually have any fics published yet (side eye) but I wanna make sure she is on everyone’s radar for when she does because yall are not ready for the incredible amazing talent that is this girl’s writing!! So go check out the snippets on her Tumblr and badger her until she finishes something plssssss

◊

@wheelsupin-five Hi! <3

Almost Almost Almost

This adorable of Buck who is always cold and Eddie warms him up I– asfffghhjkklllll

Under Kitchen Light

SO SOFT! Buck wakes up and Eddie isn't there, Buck finds him in the kitchen. 

◊

@rogerzsteven Simi owns my heart and by that I mean my heart is locked in a cage in Simi’s basement where it is occasionally beaten to a pulp by the most incredibly angsty fics you've ever read.

Cleanse

Buck is extremely nauseous and Eddie takes care of him while I sob over them in a corner.

build me a home underground (free from light and sound)

This fic is so brutal in all the best ways, my heart was in my throat the entire read! Buck gets trapped in a sensory deprivation room while the 118 and Athena race to find him. 

◊

@ashavahishta another incredibly talented mutual of mine

out of ashes

Is it really a Meegs rec list if I don’t rec this fic honestly it's engraved on my soul. This is a criminal minds/greys inspired fic where Buck is kidnapped and tortured until the 118 can find him. This fic is so so well written and means a million things to me I could never explain but pleaseeeee read it!! 

◊

@jobairdxx hello lovely xx

Oh, We Pray to Make it Through the Night

Highly recommend this fic, I do love a near-death experience fic! Buck gets injured on a call and Eddie falls asleep holding vigil at his bedside. 

Jules also writes beautiful poetry on Tumblr so go read some of that too <3

◊

@monsterrae1 MISS RAE! YOU INCREDIBLE THING! <3

love is on its way

I know we’re all a little bit in mourning over the couch theory but it lives on in our hearts and in this fic which has six moments between Buck and Eddie on the Diaz couch (and she’s a wee bit spicy too).

Buck's café (take my heart, just not my order)

Coffee Shop AU. Buck runs the shop where the 118 order all their drinks on shift. I absolutely adore this fic! 

◊

@alyxmastershipper RYAN!! INCREDIBLY TALENTED MUTUAL THAT YOU ARE!! 

there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head

If “aasdsdfghhjkl” was a person it was me reading this fic. Eddie comes out to Buck, receives a quirky mug, and gets together with the love of his life. In that order.

◊

@bekkachaos Wonderful, amazing Bekka xxx

lose yourself in the feeling

I am a sucker for ‘accidental kisses’ and this was just wonderful. Buck is so excited about Maddie and Chim getting engaged that he kisses Eddie when he tells him. 

start me up, open my eyes

Okay, the mild sexual content tag is a lie, nothing has ever been closer to smut without actually being smut than this fic, I have never been so wound up reading a fic. Bekka builds the tension so so well. 

◊

@sibylsleaves honestly I'm still a little in shock that we're mutuals now so please excuse me while I fangirl over your incredible writing!

with a bird at your door

Eddie starts spending all his time with Buck. Which would be fine if it weren't for the fact that Buck is in love with him. This fic is the perfect mixture of pining, angst, and a happy ending. And yes I think about this fic frequently I love it okay. 

◊

@mysteriouslyyounggalaxy last but certainly not least (for now). hello lovely xx

(tell the gravedigger) better dig two

Missing scenes from while eddie is trapped in the well followed by the most perfect extended reunion scene. We all know I am a sucker for fics based on the well incident, it’s literally how i started writing for buddie but omg this fic!!!! 

◊

Remember to share the love around and happy hiatus to you all.

Love, Meegs xxxx
