“Long night,” he says after a moment. It’s the first thing either of them have said since they left the station, since they ended up here by silent agreement. Eddie nods, and Buck feels himself smile. “Did I tell you I got to steal a motorcycle?” soft and intimate and just so so good <3

Does it ever drive you crazy…

THIS is an accurate depiction of Buck and Eddie cornering Chim after he accidentally uncovers their relationship and convincing him to keep it a secret.

[cosyvelvetorchid]

LOOK AT THEIR FACES!!

[hisbucky]

Buck: So you lied to me. Bobby: I didn't lie, per say. Buck: You said everything was fine and now we learn that you had plans to leave?! Bobby, distressed: Son, please - Buck, wounded: Don't do that! Don't call me that! I trusted you, and you lied to me! *on the other side of the station* Eddie: Should we be doing something? Hen: I say we let them play it out. The station family drama has been a bit dry lately. Chimney: Not that it isn't fun to watch you pine over Buck and Tommy, but it gets old. Eddie, blushing: I do not pine! Ravi, muttering: Denial is not a good look on you.

I got this idea from a mlm romance novel I read but hear me out:

Eddie stops by at Tia Pepa’s while Abuela is staying with her visiting LA. He just came by really quick to drop something off or maybe pick something up that he left there.

While he’s in the house, he can overhear Abuela on the phone with someone in the next room saying things like…

“Make sure you go down to that place on Century to get the masa harina not the stuff in the grocery store…”

And

“Let the mole simmer maybe 20 minutes?”

And

“This is why grandmothers always want their grandsons to marry someone nice. Someone to look after them and make them good food. They usually can’t do it for themselves. You’ll make him some nice tamales!”

And Eddie doesn’t think anything of it, probably just Abuela giving some young girl from church advice… until he gets home. Buck is in the kitchen with Chris and there’s tamales in a steamer basket and Eddie realizes Abuela was on the phone with Buck and she was telling him how to make tamales.

That’s when it hits him like a freight train.

[makorragal-312]

I can see it now...

Now that Chris is gone and his relationships with Marisol and Kim are over, Eddie is struggling to keep himself together and decides to stop dating while also trying to figure himself out after everything that happened.

All the while, Buck constantly checks in on him to make sure he's alright and even goes as far as to stay over at his place so that he doesn't wake up by himself. And now that Gerrard is captain and is making their shifts miserable, that becomes a common occurrence. And around the same time, Buck and Tommy are going through a rough patch because of him cancelling plans to check on Eddie and how Tommy wants Buck to act around Gerrard, which ultimately leads to them breaking up.

Then down the line, Eddie and Buck start to become closer than ever and Eddie comes to the conclusion that his relationships never worked out because he was trying to make a family with the wrong person when the whole time, he already had a family with the right person, which was Buck. At the same time, Buck starts to catch feelings for Eddie but is afraid to act on them partly out of fear and mainly because he doesn't want to take advantage of him when he's still missing Chris.

But eventually, Eddie just goes "fuck it" and finally kisses Buck, who has no qualms about kissing him back...

...and then, Chris walks through the door.

[eddiestightywhities]

After Buck has sex with Tommy—and then after Tommy breaks up with Buck—Buck cannot stop looking at men's hands.

It's because he now knows the way men's hands look on him.

So he's just, like, out here in the world now, involuntarily checking out every damn pair of hands on every damn guy around him—well, other than Bobby's and Chim's hands, of course. Because, y'know, they're Bobby and Chim; they're his family, and that would just be weird.

That's why he gets pretty freaked out when he finds himself checking out Eddie's hands. Because, hey, Eddie's family too, right? So why doesn't Buck feel just as weird about noticing how unbearably pretty Eddie's hands are? Why can't he stop glancing at them and seeing just how damn capable they are? Why can't he ignore how golden brown they are? Why does he have to constantly be thinking about how caring they are? Why doesn't he baulk when he watches them close around a firehose or a bottle of beer? Why can't he help but clock the way they touch Eddie's face so often? Why is he now picturing them touching his face all the time? Why can't he unsee how fucking big they are? Why does he suddenly and very desperately need to know how they'd look gripping his—oh.

Oh.

Oh, shit.

[dudesrysly]

Imagine on 8X06, the 118 is deciding how to save the boy, they’re all brainstorming.

And Eddie’s like yeah, cap’s right. I can’t go in there this time. Not like this. But what if I get-

And Buck immediately goes No! His eyes filled with fear.

Everyone looks at him with a weird look, especially Eddie.

Buck feels embarrassed a little I- I mean… we’ll find a safer way, right Cap?

Bobby nods yeah, of course, Buck. Knowing why is he stressed.

And the whole time, subconsciously, Buck stays a little closer to Eddie. Just to give himself some peace of mind that Eddie’s not in danger this time.

After the failure of Chris's birthday party in 8x01, Tommy leaves but Buck stays. Eddie begs him to leave but Buck refuses. the birthday party scene really just gives endless fic inspo, doesn't it? this is such perfect hurt/comfort i've read it three times already <3

it felt like home somehow | playinginthunderstorms/@playinginthunderstorms | 1.3k | G

Buck spirals a little after the Gerrard incident, and Eddie doesn't let him hide the fact that eddie's voice was loudest in buck's head has not let go of me yet and i fear it never will. such a wonderful add-on!!

Buck and Bobby are talking on their way to LAX. Oh, and Brad is there too. Unfortunately. i will not lie season 8 has been great so far but brad torrence is by far my favourite addition. this captures both the bobby & brad and the bobby & buck dynamic perfectly!!

[kenneth-black]

Looking at Buck like this when his boyfriend is sitting right next to him…Eddie truly does not gaf lmao 😭

[thank you to the incredible @songbvrd for removing the boils from my pookie’s face 🥹]

[jackwhiteprophetic]

I think it's very likely we get a situation where Eddie is trapped/missing on a call and Gerrard threatens Buck with his job if he goes back to save him. Obviously Buck goes back.

[mischiefbuckley]

I’m so excited for episode 5 and 6 now with how it’s been talked about in interviews lately like can’t wait to see what happens to both Buck and Eddie

Finished binding Ice Cream Before Dinner by cloudydaisies on AO3. I loved this story, in my opinion it is how season 8 should go haha.

I agonized over the color and vinyl choices, but I'm really happy how it came out. I looked at pictures of cotton candy ice cream and old-fashioned ice cream shop signs as inspiration haha! This is one of my favorite binds that I've done so far.
