a definitive list of my favourite buddie fics.

This is ordered by rating (T-E) - just based on my ao3 history. If a fic is on here it's safe to say I loved it, so I'm not going to rate them or anything (rating fics is kind of an icky practice imo).

Links are added to the titles - these are all from ao3.

I've tried to keep to fics that are a little less known. If you have fics you want me to read send me an ask!

Remember to heed the tags, and leave a comment!

One Shots (part one).

never believe it's not so - rainbow_nerds | 6.4k | T+

Maddie Buckley never expected to enjoy hanging out with her little brother's best friend. She just didn't think they could have all that much in common. Turns out they've got more in common than she could have expected. And she can't tell Buck.

In which Maddie has magic. And so does Buck. And so does Eddie. And she can't tell either of them.

Or: 5 times Maddie has to listen to Buck and Eddie talk about each other without spilling their secrets, and one time they actually talk to each other.

They'd base movies off our lives but somehow they wouldn't suffice - creatures_that_don't_die | 3.1k | T+

When he convinces Eddie to watch Hotshots with him, Buck starts to notice some similarities between the two of them and Jones and Sanchez, characters from the show.

Buck nods. His own face still has that kicked puppy look. But he manages a smile. Even sad, Buck’s smiles light his face up. Eddie thinks he could never get tired of Buck’s smiles. “Why did you shave it off? I need a distraction. A happy one.”

“I’m working on no longer denying myself fruit juice.”

It’s Buck’s turn to open and close his mouth in confusion. “O…kay? I don’t know what that means.”

in love with every song you've ever heard - timeshareindestin | 19.2k | T+

Buck is fucking frozen. His mouth is dry, and his brain is blank except for oh no, oh fuck reverberating in his frontal lobe. He can’t answer. He feels the pressure against the metaphorical closet door, the hinges creaking against the weight of the boxes crashing down. “Are those… hearing aids?” He registers Eddie's voice through the ringing in his ears. It takes him a moment before he can finally whisper it out. He feels his head nod against his will. “Yeah.” The door gives out.

or: how a conversation about tardigrades results in buck grappling with a disability he's suppressed, getting hearing aids, and realizing that the family he craves has been there for him all along. in that order.

The commissioner signs off on a workplace documentary set in the 118 to better community attitudes towards the fire department.

Unfortunately, whatever is going on between Firefighters Buckley and Diaz is a much more interesting story.

perfect boys with their perfect lives - littlesnowpea | 3.9k | T+

Eddie storms into Frank’s office, sits in the chair across from him, and crosses his arms.

Frank waits.

“I’m not homophobic,” Eddie explains, and Frank raises an eyebrow. “I’m not! I love Hen and I love Karen and I have never been homophobic in my life.”

“So what’s the issue?”

“Buck is bi,” Eddie bites out. “And I don’t like it.”

There’s a long pause. Then:

“Okay,” Frank says. “Let’s unpack that.”

I Can See Clearly Now - inell | 4.8k | T+

During a simple call, Buck finds himself locked in a lab after a possible exposure with Eddie and the rest of his team on the other side of the glass doors.

To Be Loved Anyways - Bookwormo3o3 | 15.2k | T+

“Just don’t expect me to walk you down the aisle,” Phillip laughed, looking around like he expected the rest to agree.

And when no one did, glancing at one another in shock, confusion, and hurt on his behalf... it’d been the last straw:

“I wouldn’t ask you to,” Buck said, as if discussing something as inconsequential as the weather, “I’d ask Bobby.”

or Buck experiences the unconditional love of a parent for the first time in his life at a five year-old's birthday party.

chess inside my chest - detectivemeer | 4.3k | T+

Buck breathes with exacting calm, trying to imitate the deep, slow inhales of sleep. Eddie’s voice is so quiet and there’s a hint of tequila curling around Buck’s cheek and the hand on his hip has three fingers slipped below the hem of his shirt. Branding his skin. Keeping him. Please, god, keep him.

They go to El Paso to bring back Christopher. And oh my god there was only one bed.

r/Hotshots - does anyone recognise the nurses?? - lightyears | 1k | T+

r/Hotshots - does anyone recognise the nurses?? u/valentina999

Okay, I swear I'm not being insane about this. I just watched the mid-season finale of hotshots (Race Banner is alive!!! I'm so relieved!) and I had to do a double take when I saw those two nurses in the scene where Race wakes up. Not because they're gorgeous (they are), but I SWEAR I recognise them.

this christmas (i'm gonna risk it all) - bievanbuckleys | 27.8k | M

Here, in the safety of the snow-covered mountains, where they’re separate from their lives out there and all the complications and intricacies that come with them, he’ll find the words. He’ll hand Eddie his bleeding heart, let everything spill out of him, and if Eddie doesn’t want it? It can stay right here in the cold, and Buck can leave it behind and learn to go on without it.

or: it only takes one bed to finally address what neither of them have been willing to say out loud since that day in may.

IKEAn't Believe We're So Close Yet Sofa - znks | 7.4k | M

“Is Buck alright?” Christopher asked from the other end of the call.

Smiling, Eddie looked up to find Buck. Oh, shit. He was holding a clipboard.

“He’s all good. He’s great in situations like this.”

“You still need to make double-sure to take good care of him. If it gets too cold you can hug to keep each other warm. He always looks warm when you hug him.”

Eddie blinked, feeling his own cheeks heat when Buck happened to glance over with a crooked smile.”

Just your standard traditional typical snowed-in IKEA fic but in Los Angeles with some silly firefighters

"I'll have you know; I can go all night long," Buck is saying with a wink.

And, well, that—Eddie doesn't even know what to think. His brain short-circuits, and he almost trips on his rope as he loses his footing for a second. Thankfully he's able to make a speedy recovery, Buck noticing the stumble but saying naught. Eddie wonders why Buck wouldn't use this as ammunition, but he's grateful anyway. He shakes his head at his friend, sighing. This is going to be a long night. Or morning, depending how you want to look at it.

please, i've been on my knees - playinginthunderstorms | 11.6k | E

Nova must have moved his paws, because Eddie dropped his voice lower and made it even more firm than he had since Buck had arrived, and said, “Sit. Stay.”

There was a thunk as the shoe hit the floor.

“That’s a good boy, there we go.” As smooth as butter, Eddie’s tone changed to a slow, honeyed drawl, dripping with affection and praise. Nova panted in response, his tail thumping quicker. Swish, thump. Swish, thump. Swish, thump. Thumpthumpthump. “Good boy, Nova.”

And Buck started sweating.

[Or, Buck discovers he has a kink.]

Line - the_one_that_fell | 4.4k | E

Eddie and Buck cross a line in an El Paso motel.

i put a spell on you (because you're mine) - teenytinytomlinson | 11.2k | E

“I’ll go to the party with you.”

That was actually the last thing Buck had been expecting. If the look Hen and Chim share is anything to go by they weren’t either.

“It’s at a gay bar,” Buck blurts out before he can think better of it—think of a gentler way to explain that this might not be Eddie’s scene.

Eddie doesn’t seem the least bit phased, “Okay.”

It’s said in a way that makes Buck feel like he’s missing something here.

“Okay,” he repeats dumbly.

Because now that it’s an option he can’t stop thinking about it. A re-do of the bachelor party, dressed-up, drunk, and having fun with his favorite person. Maybe he should thank Tommy, actually?

or,

Tommy bails on Buck's Halloween plans, Eddie offers to take his place in the couples costume contest, and Buck goes home with a grand prize.

"What the fuck, make your move." - dylaesthetics | 4.5k | E

When Buck smashes their mouths together, Eddie forgets how to breathe.

Then, he isn’t all that interested in basic human necessities such as that. He thinks, at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs instead lie Kissing Buck, Making Buck moan, and Trying not to come in my briefs.

___

OR Eddie is Buck's last.

The Only Truth - phdmama | 6.4k | E

Eddie says, “I fucking hate you.”

At least, that’s what Eddie intends to say, because he means it, in that moment he absolutely means it, having just watched Buck rappel four stories down a burning building and hit the ground eight seconds ahead of the roof caving in.

What comes out instead is, “I fucking love you.”

Luckily, just as he had opened his mouth, the roof had, in fact, collapsed, which caused a lot of commotion and noise and whatnot, and Eddie’s words, his very strange and unintended words, get lost in the mayhem.

Huh, Eddie thinks as his body moves on autopilot, racing across the cracked asphalt of the parking lot. That was weird.

bad idea, right? - brewrosemilk | 6.7k | E

Buck: are you alone? Eddie: Alone in the livingroom, yeah. Buck: he’s asleep in his room, right? door closed? Eddie: I’m not actually about to jerk off to your mediocre sexting, Buck. Buck: this isn’t gonna work if you don’t go with me 🙄

Or: Buck stumbles across Eddie's grindr profile.

Pauses, then says "You're my best friend" - Maximoff_Wanda | 3.5k | E

Buck sighed. “He said that he was my first... but not my last.”

“Why can't it be both?”

“That’s what I said!” Buck paused. “I don't know, I thought we had a good thing going, but he said I would only break his heart... I guess he figured he should break mine first.”

“And did he?”

“What?”

Eddie’s eyes looked deep into Buck’s. “Did he break your heart? Was it his to break?”

DIAZ - mandolare | 2.9k | E

“You know, this name might be on both our uniforms some day,” Buck says, barely thinking, because, obviously it will. One day. But then his own words catch up with him and he freezes, staring unblinkingly at the grimy, really-needs-to-be-hosed-down side of the ladder truck.

Buck wears the wrong jacket.

no need to be brave - teaspoon | 4k | E

It should be weird, probably, that he’s let Buck take on this role in their lives. And it should be monumental, even earth-shattering, to realize that if anything, Eddie just wants more. He wants to put his mouth on Buck’s birthmark, on his easy grin, at the dip of his throat. He wants to drag Buck into his bed and keep him there.

Suddenly, the idea of not seeing Buck for two days makes him want to punch a wall. Again.

rodeo queen - okanus | 15.6k | E

“What’s the saying again? Save a horse…hm, y’know, I don't quite remember the rest of it.” Eddie can’t help the smile curving up the corner of his mouth. “You’re an asshole,” Buck says, scowling. The tips of his ears are pink. “Come on, Buck,” Eddie murmurs, something white-hot and hungry snaking through him at Buck’s faltering gaze, at the way Buck reaches up to tug at his suit collar. “Save a horse…I know you can do it.” “Ride a cowboy,” Buck says finally, his voice husky like Eddie’s never heard it before.

Or: The Cowboy Hat Fic.

bed chem - rangerdanger | 6.6k | E

A small electrical fire started at a store. A store that sold… novelty items. They sold sex toys. It was a sex shop.

“What, you don’t go to one of these once a week?” Eddie teased, looking over at Buck.

“Nah, I haven’t actually been to once since I was Buck 1.0, I think?” Buck brushed off the teasing and tried to think back. “I usually just get lube on Amazon. And I order my sex toys online too.”

Eddie nods, listening. “Yeah, I prefer the anonymity of the online stuff. I spent way too much time picking one out to go to the store and stand there looking at them.”

“You have a sex toy?”

Eddie, straight laced Eddie, Buck’s best friend Eddie, who couldn’t have sex because his girlfriend was a nun, has a sex toy?

Eddie barked a laugh before turning to Hen and Chimney who are still busy talking to the store employees, and Bobby, who’s talking to the owner who arrived after the fire started. Eddie talks low and quiet. “I have more than one sex toy.”

Or, the three times Buck and Eddie talked about sex before they (+1) had sex for the first time.

I'm going to split these into multiple parts because I read a lot of fic and don't want this to get too long. Either way, enjoy these! Don't forget to read the tags, and if you can leave a comment - do so!!!
