BiAsBuck’s ficrec Fridays

At this point 'Friday' is just a state of mind, okay? Back again with another round of the fic I've been reading this week, thank you lovely authors for keeping me distracted from a horrid summer cold. You can find previous rec lists here.

A nice mixed bag of perspectives this week, with Henren (YAY!!!!), some Buddie, some Bucktommy, and a couple of excellent Helena fics!

20 July 2024

being with you (is the highlight) by @buick118 is ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 henren. In which Hen knows Karen is hot like PaCO2. Some absolutely sizzling and accurate rocket scientist Karen appreciation, with Hen watching her wife absolutely thriving in her element at a work function and just has to do something about it. Hot as hell, I neeeeed more of this henren in my life.

You Don't Know a Thing (About Me) by @insertlovelyperson this is such a well written Hen POV fic, with henren and the 118 dealing with the Ortiz and Mara fallout. Diverging a little from canon, it still fits so well into the headspace, and as Hen battles with herself on how to move forward when all she wants to do is fight back. Very cathartic, I really really loved Hen's voice here, it captures all of the ways she treads the line weaving shades of grey through the fierceness of her love.

just for you by @smallandalmosthonest is 'trampstamp tattoo Buck' bucktommy smut - when Tommy is away for longer than he expected on emergency deployment, he comes back to find Buck has a surprise for him. With a dollop of Daddy kink and possessiveness, it's hot and silly and sexy and fun. And look if Oliver can go on a roadtrip and come back to work with like twenty billion new tattoos, Buck can get a little ill-advised lower back tattoo as a treat!

this ecstasy, this forgetfulness of living by @glorious-spoon I've been loving all of glorious-spoon's five alarm fire fics, and this one for kink discovery prompt really hit. In which Buck is packing up his apartment to move in with Eddie, and stumbles upon a mystery dog collar and leash an ex must have left behind...Buck being Buck, of course he's gonna try it on just to see if it fits. Just as Eddie walks in. I really loved the headspace that they both stumble upon here, it's kinky yes, but also so sweet, loving and trusting and such a natural exploration of something neither of them expected to click.

i'm holding on (barely) by @cranberrymoons because I'm still living rent free in all the possibility surrounding the Chris in Texas storyline. This is a Helena POV fic, in which after Eddie has brought Chris home again, she decides to follow in order to understand her son better. It's a bumpy ride, and I really appreciated all the nuanced complexities given to her as a character here. Too often the parents are villianised and dehumanised, but here all of Helena's mistakes and missteps and shortcomings are examined with honesty and integrity, and in doing so she self reflects in a way to find a path forward with Eddie in which forgiveness and mutual understanding is an ongoing dialogue.

stained and broken glass by @sharpbutsoft another gorgeous Eddie and Helena fic! This one is written with such quiet restraint, it captures the reserved and stoic side of Eddie so well, and when paired with the presence of Helena, it inevitably explodes into a sharp and fiery overdue fight that fizzles almost as soon as it's started. But through the fire there's new ground to find, and maybe they both can come through it together.

my man says he loves me (never says he loves me not) by @colonoscopys in which Eddie and Buck are Croakett and Tubbalubb, anonymously competing in a 'more hopelessly in love with my best friend than you' competition. Both feeling some kind of way, they sign up to a website and find a friend they can confide in...but of course, they're talking to each other. Crack treated seriously, this is fun and romantic and these two are really just stupid for each other.

See you next week!
