half grown (wip wednesday)

The first time David Kay sets eyes on Evan Buckley, he doesn’t believe the social worker when she says he’s five. The kid’s the size of a four or three-year-old at least. He’s tiny. “He was malnourished when he came to us,” She tells him and Annie. “He’s making progress, but you know, recovery and healing are slow.” Boy, does he ever. Deacon knows that better than anyone. “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” He agrees.

100% honest here.

If I were a writer for this show. I would definitely think twice about making buddie canon.

I’ve seen how the rabid fan-squirrels in other fandoms behave when they get their OTP. Making the lives of the actors a living hell with the relentless stalking and speculation on their IRL relationships.

So I’m going to get out in front of this bullet train of crazy right now.

This is a fucking television show. I understand, I love the stuffing out of most of the characters on 911. But when a professional actor says a specific fandom is getting overwhelming. Ya’ll need to sit tf down, shut tf up, and chill tf out for a really long minute.

I actually for the first time EVER had to filter/block some tags because you all were flooding social media with your special brand of unleaded crazy since Tommy Kinard has shown up.

And ya’ll are shookth. I get it. You wanted your soft white boys to kiss, and instead they brought in a grown ass man who does not have time for games, to tell an actual story.

The actors are being exceptionally good sports. And playing the media game adeptly. But you can start to see the slight fraying at the edges.

And the overwhelming opinion is some of ya’ll are Annie Wilkes level of crazy. And it ain’t cute.

Chapter Five: The Trap That Was Longing

Mikey watched helplessly as his eleven-year-old daughter Annie stomped away from him leaving him standing in his ex-wife’s driveway with his ex and their seven-year-old. Cassie looked between Mikey and where her big sister had gone as though torn between two loyalties. “It’s okay, Cas,” Mikey knelt. “You can go with her. I won’t be mad.”

At least Cassie gave him a hug before running inside after her older sister.

“I don’t even know what I said,” Mikey looked to his ex. Annie had lasted all of five minutes before laying into him about never being there and how he obviously didn’t care about them anymore and how she hated him.

Maggie shrugged. She’d cut her hair since the last time Mikey had seen her and she’d died it hot pink. It was different, not bad different but the difference just highlighted how much Mikey’s life had changed in the last six months.

“You missed her game last weekend,” Maggie pointed out. “And yes, I know that you told her ahead of time that you were going out of town. And I’m not blaming you for wanting to spend time with your brothers. In fact, I think it’s healthy. I’m proud of you.” She shook her head and even though Mikey had accepted that it was well and truly over between them, his breath still caught in his throat at how the light hit her eyes and made them sparkle like emeralds.

Mikey sighed, pulling his mind away from the trap that was longing for something he couldn’t have. Better focus on their daughters than on all the ways he’d fucked up and lost Maggie’s trust. Although, it seemed like he was rapidly losing their trust as well. “It just feels like every time I put one train back on the right track, another one derails,” he said. “I guess it’s about time she figured out what a massive fuck-up, I am.” He ran his hand through his thinning hair and wasn’t that an insult to injury seeing that Tommy still had a full head of hair with no noticeable thinning when Mikey was struggling to hide his receding hairline.

“Mikey, you’re trying. I can see that. Cassie can see that. Even Annie can see that when she isn’t angry,” said Maggie, rubbing her arms against the chill breeze. “She’s eleven and puberty’s coming in hot.”

Which was definitely true if nothing else was. Mikey swore that every time he saw Annie she’d grown another inch or her face had changed – snub little baby nose elongating into the classic Kinard profile. Pretty soon he and Maggie were going to have to have a talk about which one of them was going to give Annie the talk or whether they’d sit down to do it together. Eleven seemed too young for that, but kids seemed to be growing up faster these days, especially the girls. “I wish there was something I could do,” said Mikey. And it was more than just wishing he could help Annie not be angry anymore. There was a part of him that wanted to find away to turn back time to when Annie was his little buddy, always chasing after him, hanging on his every word, dressing him up in tutus and tiaras and begging him to read her stories. Where had that little girl gone?

Maggie sighed. She did that a lot. It was the soundtrack of their marriage, especially towards the end. They’d never been the kind of couple to raise their voices at each other, which Mikey supposed was one thing they’d gotten right. “Just keep showing up,” said Maggie.

“Yeah,” said Mikey. “I really am sorry I missed the game, but with Tommy’s schedule, it’s really hard to find something that works for all three of us and I figured, what’s one game? I’ve made all the others this season.”

“I know,” said Maggie. “You’ve been really present these last few months and I think that might be part of the problem.”

Mikey frowned. “What do you mean? I thought you wanted me to pull my act together so I could be there for the girls.”

“I do and you’ve been doing really well,” said Maggie. “I didn’t mean it in a bad way.” She pinched the bridge of her nose like she always did when she was trying to find the right words. “I guess, Annie still isn’t used to this new and improved version of her dad. She doesn’t trust it yet and so when you didn’t show up it probably made her think about all the other times you haven’t shown up for her because of the drinking. She’s probably wondering what the point of getting her hopes up is if you’re just going to stop showing up again. To her, it’s not just one game potentially every game after.”

“But it’s not. I’m not,” Mikey protested.

“She doesn’t know that, Mike,” said Maggie. “And quite frankly, neither do I because I’ve been through this all before: the drinking reaches a peak, you fuck up, you get sober, you stop going to meetings, something happens to push you off of the wagon and we repeat.” Before Mikey could respond, Maggie held up a finger to indicate she wasn’t finished. “This time does seem different, I’ll give you that,” she added. “I can see how much work you’re putting in. You’re doing everything right. But it’ll take time for Annie to feel like it’s safe to fully trust you.”

Mikey’s first instinct was to protest, and he’d been learning recently that his first instinct wasn’t worth shit so he took a breath and dug past the knee jerk reaction to find the logic in his ex-wife’s words. “You’re right,” he said. “Aunt Gina keeps telling me that it’s going to take time for things with Tommy to get where I want them to be, and I guess it’s the same with you and the girls.”

Maggie nodded. “I know you want everything to hurry up and be fixed but—”

“That’s not how life works,” Mikey finished. “I know. Sorry.”

“It’s okay,” said Maggie. “I’m just glad to see you looking healthy and making positive changes in your life.”

Mikey couldn’t help but smile. “You think me trying to fix things with Tommy is positive?”

She fixed him her “you’re being a dumbass” look. “I’ve known you since we were twenty,” she said. “Fifteen years is a lot of time to learn about someone’s regrets. I know what happened with Tommy ranks pretty high on that list for you. I just hope it all goes well.”

“Me too,” said Mikey. “It’d be great if the girls could have the chance to meet him.”

Maggie looked hesitant. “We’ll see,” she said.

“What?” Mikey snapped, defensively. “Is it cuz Tommy’s gay?”

Maggie shook her head and laid her hand on Mikey’s shoulder. “There’s nothing wrong with your brother being gay,” she said. “I honestly don’t care one way or the other. But I do care about giving our kids as much stability as I can. What if we introduce the girls to their uncle and then somewhere down the line you and Tommy get in another fight? Then they lose another person in their life. They’re still confused about why they haven’t seen your Dad in a while.” They’d both realised that Dad being in Mikey’s life was one of his triggers for drinking and so they’d decided as part of their divorce mediation to cut off all communication. The funeral was the first and only time Mikey had seen his father since the divorce.

“That makes sense,” said Mikey.

“I know it does,” said Maggie. “So, do you think things are going to go well in the long run with you and Tommy?”

Mikey paused before speaking, he wanted to be honest with Maggie and himself and Maggie would sniff out any bullshit as soon as it left his lips. “I’d say it’s sixty-forty,” he said. “We both want it to work, but you know me and my big mouth, and I know how Tommy likes to run from his problems. So, yeah, I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

“When do you see him next?” Maggie asked.

Mikey shrugged. “Not sure yet. We talked about Tommy and his fiancé coming up here next time. Apparently, there are some jewellers in San Fran they want to check out before deciding where they’re getting their rings made. And Tommy wants me to meet Evan. Not sure if Tony’s going to be there or not.” An idea came to him then. “Hey, maybe you could meet them.”

Maggie looked sceptical. “Isn’t that a bit early?” she asked. “Don’t you guys have things to work through on your own still?”

“Yeah,” said Mikey. “But if I hadn’t done what I did, then you guys would’ve met back when you and I started dating. So, it’s kind of overdue isn’t it. Also, then you can get a read on whether or not you want the girls to meet Tommy.”

Maggie shook her head but there was a look in her eye that told Mikey she was going to say yes, and she did. “Fine,” she said. “Let me know when and where and I can drop the girls off with my mom or Gina. Just make sure it’s not during one of Annie’s games this time.”

Mikey grinned. “Okay,” he said. “I’ll set it up.”

#

After their lunch in LA, Mikey had asked Tommy to share his work schedule to make it easier to plan their meetups, which conveniently made it easier for Mikey to check and see when Tommy was more likely to be able to take his calls.

He called his older brother as soon as he got home from his failed visit with his kids – not a complete failure, he guessed since Cassie came back out before Mikey left to give him a hug and a lumpy pinch pot she’d made in art class.

Now, sitting on his second hand sofa in his too quite apartment, Mikey rubbed his thumb over his daughter’s fingerprints, embedded in the fired clay as he pulled up Tommy’s contact card and pressed call. Luckily, Tommy answered. He sounded a little short of breath. “Hey.”

“Hey Tommy, is this a good time?” Mikey asked. From the music playing in the background it sounded like Tommy was maybe at the gym.

“Yeah, I just wrapped up a workout,” said Tommy. “You have perfect timing. What’s up?”

“You know how we were talking about you guys coming up to hangout sometime?” Mikey asked.

“Yeah, Evan and I were going to check on some dates today.”

“That’s uh, awesome,” said Mikey. “Listen, Maggie wants to meet you when you’re here.”

“That’s your ex, right?” said Tommy.

“Yeah,” said Mikey. “I was talking to her about introducing the kids to you, which I know it’s probably a little soon for that, but a guy can hope, right? Anyway, she says she wants to meet you first.”

He hears Tommy let out a shaky breath. “Okay,” said Tommy. “Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.”

“It’s not weird?” Mikey asked. “Cuz you can say no if it’s weird. You don’t need to get wrapped up in my family drama if you don’t want to.”

Tommy chuckled. “I thought the whole point of us meeting up was to get involved in each other’s family drama. It’s not weird to want to introduce me to the people who are important to you, Mikey.”

“Yeah, you’re right,” said Mikey. “I guess I was overthinking things.”

“That’s fine,” said Tommy. The background sounds from his end of the line shifted, the music cutting off with the slam of a door. “There’s something I wanted to ask you.”

“Oh?” Mikey asked.

A car door shuts, cutting off the sound of traffic and wind on Tommy’s end. “Yeah, we haven’t really talked about how things were for you after I left.”

Mikey’s grip on Cassie’s pinch pot tightened. His stomach clenched. He squeezed his eyes shut. “It was fucking bad, Tommy,” he bit out.

2002

Mikey watched in horror as the coffee mug slipped from his fingers. Time seemed to slow as it fell, coffee burning his fingers as he tried to catch it, but it slipped from his grasp once again.

It shattered against the corner of the coffee table, milky brown liquid spraying over the rug.

Dad startled awake in his recliner. “God damn it, Mikey! What are you doing?”

“I’m sorry,” Mikey hunched his shoulders. “I didn’t mean to. I was just trying to make you coffee.”

Dad lurched out of his chair, meaty hand clenching around Mikey’s forearm. Too hard. Hard enough Mikey wouldn’t be able to wear short sleeves for the next week or so. “Useless!” Dad shoved him. “Even that faggot brother of yours could do better!”

Mikey fell. He tried to break his fall like Tommy had taught him, but the coffee table was in the way, and he caught his shoulder on it.

The wood cracked.

Mikey bit his lip to keep from crying out. Tony didn’t need to see this.

“Go and get the belt,” Dad said.

2025

And that was just a fraction of what Tommy had gone through. Tommy who couldn’t even breathe without Dad finding something to poke at. At least Dad had never broken any of Mikey’s bones. “But that’s not your fault, Tommy,” said Mikey once he’d torn himself out of the memory.

“Still, I wish I’d been there for you guys,” said Tommy.

“Yeah,” said Mikey. “But you’re here now.” His throat felt dry and other memories threatened to follow the first. We wanted a drink. Maybe a shot of tequila or some of that cheap whiskey that was strong enough to thin paint, strong enough to thin memory.

There was a liquor store just up the street from him – a three-minute walk at most. He just needed something to take the edge off. Something to send the memories packing. Something to help him forget what a terrible brother he was, what a terrible father he was. Never around. Never useful. Never good enough.

Something to take away the pain of his daughter hating him.

Something—

Mikey looked down at his daughter’s lopsided little pinch pot still gripped in his hand. The craving didn’t go away, but his resolve strengthened. “I, uh, gotta go,” he said. “Let me know those dates and I’ll tell Maggie the plan.”

“Okay,” said Tommy and there was something in his voice that made it seem like he wanted to say more, but he swallowed whatever it might have been. “I’ll text you.”

“I’ll keep an eye out,” said Mikey. He hung up and called his sponsor.

I'm the beat in your heart

For @fireburningonthedancefloor for the @911fanworksfestival

Title: I'm the beat in your heart Fandom: 9-1-1 Pairing: Eddie/Buck with minor Buck/Tommy Rating: Teen and Up Summary: Eddie and Buck are the two halves of the same soul. They are soulmates, and Tommy has come to care about them. Buck's heart is taken by Eddie and Eddie's heart sings for Buck's. Tommy and Christopher join forces to make the two see what they have been searching for they have with one another.

"You don't find love, son, you make it." Also available on AO3

“Have you ever felt really close to someone? So close that you can't understand why you and the other person have two separate bodies, two separate skins?” — Nancy Garden, Annie On My Mind

Tommy Kinard knows what soulmates look like. That kind of love that seems to only exist in fairy tales and romantic movies. He likes Eddie, he is a great friend. It is nice to have someone to talk to about their time in the army, who also likes MMA and Muay Thai and working on cars with them.

Then there is Evan. Evan is truly someone special. He wasn't kidding when he called him adorable. Being the one to help Evan see that that part of himself he had buried deep within himself was a gift he will always treasure.

But Evan isn't his soulmate, he isn't the one meant to be his forever ending. No, that spot is reserved for Eddie. They are twin souls. Evan is Eddie's North Star, always there to guide him to where he is meant to be. And Evan is Eddie's sun, the one lighting and guiding the way for him. He is just baffled at how the two could be so blind as to how they are the two halves of the same soul.

"Welcome to our world." Christopher patted Tommy on his shoulder. It was a Buckley-Diaz day at the zoo but since Tommy was off Christopher asked if he wanted to join them. Tommy didn't miss the way that Eddie's smile became plastic, it reminded him of the night at Chimney's bachelor party where somehow Eddie managed to pull off being completely petty while handing him a cup of orange juice. Seriously that was a thing Tommy didn't think could be done but when it came to Eddie's possessiveness over Evan it was outstanding the levels Eddie could reach. So when Eddie agreed Tommy could feel the force he used to agree to make his son and his best friend happy.

And sweet adorable Evan somehow completely missed it. He just beamed at Eddie before engulfing him in the kind of hug that just makes you want to melt. In Evan's arms, you know you are safe with him. It is like hugging the sun full of warmth and love.  Tommy couldn't understand how such loving and caring souls like Evan and Maddie could possibly have the cold unfeeling parents they did.

"Thanks." Tommy smiled at Christopher who looked truly upset for him. It was nice, Christopher is a great kid, sorry teen, who has the same air of possessiveness that his dad does when it comes to Evan. Eddie and Evan had run to pick up some takeout for all four of them while it was up to Tommy and Christopher to pick the movies to watch. Tommy didn't even bother to fight and just let Christopher go ahead and make the movie selection.

"I like you, Tommy. I really do out of everyone my dad and Buck have dated. You are the best." A frown appeared on Christopher's face, "I don't know if that is a good thing or bad thing since it appears like they both made some bad dating decisions. Ana and Marisol were okay but my dad dated them because they were the kind of women my grandparents would approve of and then stayed with them because he thought I loved them and he didn't want me to lose anyone else I cared about." A heavy sigh escaped Christopher, "Which is nice of him but I want my dad happy and no one makes him happy like Buck. But being with Buck will make you sad and like I said Tommy, I really like you it's just..." The teen trailed off, unable to finish his sentence.

A small knowing smile made its way onto Tommy's face, "It's just that they are soulmates and meant to be. Buck told me about this call they had about this elderly couple who went together only minutes apart because they only wanted to go together and the words the one man said to him have stuck with him. You don't find love, son, you make it." Tommy met Christopher's eyes and he saw how they widened full of knowledge and understanding. "That is what your dad, Evan, and you have made a love that can never be broken. Eddie and Evan are soulmates and as much as I care about Evan I can't stand in the way of that. We just need to figure out a way to make those two realize what they have. Both of them have been searching for so long for something that is right in front of them, that they have spent six years creating."

Wrapping his arms around Tommy Christopher gave him a hug, "They are just ridiculous at this point. They could be married and have given me a sibling and a dog by this point."

"Hey guys."

During their talk, neither Christopher nor Tommy had noticed when Eddie and Buck had returned.

Buck was the one who had spoken as he looked between Christopher and his not-quite boyfriend, Eddie was at his side just staring at the two of them.

"Put the food down before you drop it and then we can talk," Christopher ordered, his stomach rumbling, he was a growing boy and he needed food.

Eddie quickly put his bag of food down and then collapsed into his chair as he looked at his son and friend, before daring to look at Buck who to his surprise had a delightful pink dust on his cheeks. This had him perking up and unable to keep his eyes off of Buck who seemed to sense Eddie's eyes on him and hurried to the kitchen to dish up the food. He completely ignored Christopher's gestures that he should follow Buck. "I think Tommy should talk to Buck first."

"Your dad has a point." Tommy climbed to his feet, picked up the second bag of food and followed Buck into the kitchen.

Shifting in his seat Christopher stared at his dad, "Alright, then we will talk. I know you love Buck. I know that you questioned yourself when you encouraged Buck to call Tommy up and date him because you wanted it to be you. Dad, I know my grandparents have always said that you needed to give me a mom but I don't need a mom, I have you and Buck. I know that Buck makes you happier than anyone has, even more than Mom and I am tired of watching you push what makes you happy aside because you are afraid."

"When did you get so wise?" Eddie asked as he climbed to his feet and took a seat next to his son.

Christopher grinned at him, "From Bisabuela."

Eddie's lips twitched up into a smile, "Yeah, she said the same thing about Buck. She calls him my North Star, the one always guiding me to where I should be. Always there to pull me out of the darkness. He has been the one to save me when I needed saving. I never want you to doubt that I didn't love your mom, I did very much. But near the end, we weren't happy, we were trying to force something that wasn't any longer there. I think we were better off as friends and co-parents to you. Because you are the most precious thing in my life. So I need to know that you would truly be okay with me dating Buck."

"Dad, I have been planning your and Buck's wedding for years! All my classmates think Buck is my other father. The only ones not seeing what has been there for the past six years are the two of you. So yes I am more than okay for you to marry my Buck."

Eddie felt his eyebrow shoot up, "I said dating nothing about marriage."

Christopher gave his dad a deadpan look, "Dad, I give you and Buck till the end of your talk, the end of the week if I am feeling generous before you are engaged."

+******+

"Evan." Tommy's voice was soft and Buck felt more tears filling his eyes, he couldn't face Tommy not yet, so he focused on getting the food sorted.

A strong hand wrapped around his wrist and slowly he found himself turned around to face Tommy. "I..." He didn't know what to say.

"It's okay Evan. I know that Eddie is your heart. You love him as easy as it is breathing." Tommy's eyes were soft.

"I do like you and the last thing I want to do is hurt you." Tommy helped him to accept and be proud of who he truly is. He is special to him, he just isn't Eddie.

"And I am not hurt Evan, I saw from the start how connected you and Eddie are, neither of you is whole without the other. I am lucky to have both of you in my life and to have played such a big role in helping you to embrace this new part of yourself." Tommy gently stroked Buck's cheek. "You are special to me Evan Buckley, and maybe in another lifetime we might have been something more but in this time and place you and Eddie are meant to be." Pressing a gentle kiss on Buck's cheek Tommy pulled back. "I am still your friend Evan, and I am still Eddie's, someone has to kick his ass in Maui Thai and MMA."

Buck let out a startled laugh at that. "He says he is the one kicking your ass."

Chuckling Tommy shook his head, "Well I guess next time we spar you will just have to be there to judge. Now I am taking some of this out there for me and Christopher to enjoy and sending Eddie in here." Grabbing two plates Tommy grabbed two containers and made his way out of the kitchen.  

Buck could feel his heart beating loudly in his ears.

"Buck."

"Eddie."

"I love you."

Both stared at one another adjusting to what they just heard and admitted.

Moving Eddie stepped further into his kitchen and it didn't escape his attention that they always seemed to have important conversations in one or the other's kitchens. He took Buck's hands in his and tugged the other man closer until they were pressed up against one another. Wrapping one arm around Buck's waist Eddie put his other hand up where he let his thumb trace across Buck's lower lip. "I love you, Evan Buckley. For so long I have had my parents, especially my mother's, voice in my head telling me not to drag Christopher down with me, that I need to find him a mother. All I wanted for so long was for them to love me. Then you came into my life, you helped me in ways no one could. You never saw me as a failure, all your offers of help came from a place of love and you will never know how much that means to me. I loved Shannon but in the end, she was right, we were trying to keep something alive that we both know was over years ago. Already my heart had begun to move on to you. I tried with Ana and Marisol because they were the kind of women my parents would love and I thought Christopher liked them. But they never made me happy, they never saw me. They weren't you." Slowly Eddie brushed his knuckles across Buck's cheek. "You are my North Star Evan, always guiding me out of the darkness. I love you, Buck. I only love two people with all my whole heart Christopher and you."

"You are my Sun." Buck's voice was soft. "Everyone thinks that Abby was my great love and while I did love her, she helped me to see that I could do a relationship but in the end, she left me. You and Christopher have never left me. You are my sun, filling me with warmth and love. I look at you and I see nothing but light. You are my light. Everyone has left me, even Maddie, and she came back but at the time I saw it as her choosing Doug over me. All my life I have just wanted someone to choose me and you did. I love you Eddie, and I love the little family we have created with Christopher."

When Tommy kissed him it freed him and let Buck admit that he liked it, he liked being kissed by guys as well as women. But it was nothing compared to being kissed by Eddie, it was like being kissed by the moon itself drawing him like the moon draws the stars to it. For the first time in his life, Buck felt like he was complete.

Kissing Buck was like kissing the sun, never before had he felt so warm. Some days he could still feel the chill of the well but this kiss chased away any lingering chill. Eddie wanted nothing more than to devour him, to lay Buck out on his bed and trace every inch of him, to learn all the sounds he makes and all the spots that make him beg for more. "I want nothing more than to take you to bed and take you apart," Eddie whispered against his lips.

Buck shuddered, "I want nothing more but we have your son and my ex-something out in the living room waiting for us. You will have to do with holding my hand until tomorrow when Christopher is out with his friends and Tommy has gone home." Buck honestly wasn't sure he could wait that long.

"If I am holding anything it is you in my lap," Eddie informed Buck. "I think we should get married."

Buck stared at Eddie, "We haven't gone on one date yet. I mean I know you are it for me but shouldn't we have one date first."

"You're it for me as well. And we have been dating for almost six years, like Christopher pointed out we should be married and give him a sibling." Eddie pointed out.

"Don't forget a dog." Buck pointed out.

"Well, we will work on a sibling first then possibly a pet. Our son has our wedding all planned so we can't disappoint him." Eddie's voice dropped into a husky growl, "Plus I can't wait to call you husband."

Buck shuddered. "Buck Diaz, I love the sound of it. So yes Eddie Diaz, I will marry you."

Growling Eddie kissed Buck again, thrilled that he could do that and that he would soon be his husband.

With a few more heated kisses and a promise from Buck that he would sit on Eddie's lap the two of them finally joined Tommy and Christopher where Christopher held out his hand and with a sigh, Tommy placed a twenty dollar bill in his hand.

"Thanks, Dad and Pop for making me twenty dollars richer." Christopher grinned at them, not noticing how Buck tear up when he called him pop.

"You're welcome." Eddie rolled his eyes at his son before taking a seat next to him and raised an eyebrow at Buck, "Well, come on and sit."

Buck felt his cheeks heating up. He took a seat on Eddie's lap, his whole body heating up as Eddie wrapped a free arm around his waist.

Tommy and Christopher both rolled their eyes at the sickening sight of the two men, neither Buck nor Eddie noticed they were too busy with one another.

+******+

Somehow Eddie managed to keep his hands mostly to himself, even though it was a challenge as he and Christopher talked Buck into staying over the night and instead of Buck sleeping on the couch he was sleeping in his bed with him, to see Christopher off with his friends.

The door was barely closed behind them before Eddie had Buck pinned to it and devouring the other man as if he was drowning and the only thing keeping him afloat was Buck. Growling he tugged at Buck's clothing wanting to be able to feel Buck's bare skin.

"Bed." Buck moaned, he was tugging at Eddie's shirt.

"Here is fine." Eddie nipped at Buck's jaw, he wasn't waiting to get to a bed to take Buck apart.

"Our first time shouldn't be against the door. But in our bed." Buck purred back.

Pulling back Eddie all but dragged Buck to his no their bed where he kicked the door shut, he lifted Buck over his shoulder and carried him to the bed. The sight of Buck laid out on their bed had something primal within Eddie unleashed and he knew that Buck wouldn't be leaving this room without his marks on him.

+******+

It turned out Christopher wasn't the only one who had the Buddie wedding planned out. Bobby had one as well, one that looked too much like Christopher's that had more than a few eyebrows raised.

"What can't my grandson and I have a hobby?" Bobby asked before he was tackled by Buck in a tight hug and Bobby happily returned.

May and Linda of all people made a pretty penny on all the bets that had been made over the years for the Buddie bets.

Refusing to have a long engagement because as nice as calling each other fiancé was they both wanted to be husbands, thanks to Bobby and Christopher's wedding planning and clipboard Buck, who Eddie found extremely hot and made sure Buck knew how much it turned him on, the wedding which was taking place in the backyard of the Grant-Nash was put together in a month.

Buck and Eddie chose to wear their poker night suits, which looking back should have been a big clue that they were dating, the biggest was the sexual tension that night in Eddie's kitchen when Buck asked him if he wanted to go for the title.

Jee was adorable as their flower girl, Christopher stood with pride as Eddie's best man, and Hen was Buck's best woman as Maddie walked her brother down the aisle. Bobby stood with complete pride as he ordained over their wedding.

Their first kiss as husband and husband was the start of the newest and greatest chapter of their lives.

And after a week off for their honeymoon Buck came in sporting a few bruises that were just a little bit too high for his shirt collar and a smug Eddie walking behind him.

Two years later Christopher got his wish for a sibling in an adorable little sister Diana, from Buck's ex-girlfriend Natalia who hadn't informed Buck she was pregnant until the day she gave birth to the little girl she didn't want and gave full custody over to Buck and Eddie.

A dog was a little harder of a sell but even Eddie was no match for the power of Buck, Christopher, and Diana's pleading eyes and pouts. Thus they ended up with an adorable pit bull who Eddie fell in love with and glared at anyone who stated that pit bulls were dangerous.

Wrapping his arms around Buck Eddie pressed a kiss against his husband's cheek, the ocean crashed about as they watched Christopher help Diana build a sandcastle. "Are you happy?" Eddie asked.

"Always and happier each day I have with you." Buck turned to press a kiss against Eddie's cheek.

"Sap."

"You're sap and you wouldn't change a thing about it."

"Never." Eddie agreed as the two of them went back to watching their children, the North Star tattoo on Eddie's wrist lining up perfectly with Buck's sun tattoo, their first-year anniversary gift.

Crossover vs Non-crossover Pairing Breakdown for S.W.A.T. (2017)

To the best of my knowledge, this information is accurate as of 12 Feb 2021 with 204 listings on AO3.

No pairings were indicated on 41 out of 204 fics and often overlapped with Gen (20.09%). Technically, no pairings were indicated on an additional five, but the summaries stated or implied pairings: Chris/Street (2), Chris/Street [unrequited] and Chris/Kira/Ty (1), Luca/Deacon’s Sister (1) [canonical name unknown, Josie in the fic], Original Female Character/Unspecified SWAT Member (1). There are also three Character/Reader fics (Chris, Luca, and Street).

Excluding Crossovers

Polyships are entered on 10 fics in two varieties. Three characters in a triad: Chris/Kira/Ty (5). Three characters in a vee: Chris/Kira and Kira/Ty (7). (There is overlap with triad and vee usage on 2 fics.) This leaves the majority of forward slash pairings as two characters and without any OT3 or polyamory tags. Six involve gender unspecified original characters, which leaves a gender breakdown of 39/57 M/F (68.42%), 14/57 M/M (24.56%), and 4/57 F/F (7.01%). The most entered M/F pairing is Chris/Street (19/39 or 48.71%). There’s a tie for most entered M/M pairing with Hondo/Street and Luca/Street at 4/14 or 28.57% each. The most entered F/F pairing is Chris/OFC at 3 / 4 or 75%.

The most entered pairing indicated by an ampersand is Chris & Street at 19/84 (22.61%). Second place goes to Luca & Street at 15/84 (17.85%). Third place is tied between Hondo & Street and Street & Tan at 11/84 (13.09%) each. The fourth most entered pairing is Deacon & Street at 10/84 (11.90%). I would like to clarify that this does not combine similar tags together such listing out each teammate pairing (Street & Luca, Street & Tan, etc.) with a combined pairing like Street & 20 Squad.

Crossovers

Tbh, I’m not entirely sure what to do for these fics. There are 14 instances of otherwise canonical pairings that have anywhere from one additional show to nine additional shows listed. Of these, 10 are for the forward slash pairing Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson/Jessica Cortez. There are four pairings that focus on pairings from other shows and crossover into S.W.A.T., and due to Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej being cast in s3e16 (Gunpowder Treason) as Eric and Ira, there are 13 fics that crossover with Buzzfeed Unsolved and Watcher Entertainment that have forward slash pairings for Eric/Ira (8 of these also have forward slash pairings for Ryan/Shane tagged).

When it comes to a character from S.W.A.T. being paired with a character from another show, it’s a bit hard to tell the extent of differences in the crossover listings when they range from one additional show (9-1-1 (TV)) to ten additional shows being included. There are a whole bunch of ampersand pairings that involve Evan “Buck” Buckley from 9-1-1 (TV), but adding on additional characters in an ampersand list makes it a bit hard to compare to smaller ampersand lists.

I did find the inclusion of Criminal Minds to be interesting because Shemar Moore (the actor for Derek Morgan) was cast in S.W.A.T. as Hondo. There are 15 fics where Derek Morgan and Hondo are the same person or character, so the pairing Derek Morgan & Spencer Reid would more accurately have Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson | Derek Morgan in the first part of the pairing.

Since you’ve been developing adult Annie, would you consider doing a moment of her and Buck with Buck doing the “look what I made” moment? I think it’d be so delightful to see!

Twenty years later and he’s just as proud

I don’t think you realize the impact you will have on me as an individual when you put grandpa Bobby on my screen, seismic event fr fr

You’re welcome and or I’m sorry? One of grandpa Bobby’s favorite things to do when Annie is still an itty bitty baby is narrate his cooking process to her <3
