you had me at 'hello' (then you opened up your mouth)

⚠️ Warning: If you're a fan of Tommy please turn around and go back out the way you came! Thank you!

When Eddie got the call from Tommy, he thought it was a joke. A week ago Tommy dumped Buck, and now he was calling Eddie and asking him to hang out as if nothing was wrong? - "I– You– What?" Heart pounding, Eddie pulled his phone out of his pocket and opened it up to his photos before passing it to Buck. "I handcuffed him to the cable machine in his home gym," he explained. "And left him there. After kicking his phone across the floor." Buck stared at the photo of his ex on Eddie's phone. Then he looked up at Eddie. Then he looked back down at the photo. Then he looked up again. "I think you should probably come inside," he said slowly. "And start from the beginning." "Absolutely," Eddie said. "But can I use your shower first?"

it's the way Eddie's moment of joy didn't end because Buck showed up

Eddie welcomed Buck into his moment of joy

and Buck didn't have to be joyous to be welcome

nor did Eddie's joy take away from Buck's moment of sadness

Buck chose Eddie to share his moment of sadness with

and Eddie didn't have to be sad to be part of it

[therogueheart]

The parallel of Evan Buckley being crushed under a firetruck while Eddie rushes to get to him and hold his hand and pull him out vs Evan Buckley crawling under a firetruck in an active shooting zone to get to Eddie and drag him to safety is insane actually.

9-1-1 Fic Recs | Evan "Buck" Buckley/Eddie Diaz

there are definitely better compilations of fics out there for this ship but im gonna throw my two cents into the pot anyways. these are just my personal favorite fics that i remember from my most recent stint into this fandom and is by no means attempting to be the end-all-be-all of buddie fic recs.

still by brewrosemilk  Teen+ 9,367 For the first time, Buck longs for a bullet wound to treat. Dirt to dig at. A door to break through. Something. There’s nothing. “Your guess was correct, Diaz,” the bomb technician tells them, as he gestures to the orange circle. “You’re standing on a large sensor plate, wired to a detonator. It’s incredibly important that you don’t move. Don’t shift. When you put your weight down, it was like cocking a gun - you take your weight off, this thing is powerful enough to take the entire house with it." Inspired by Castle, S05E22: Still

ugh the angst and the 'one person thinks the other is about to die' trope - hit me hard.

There’s an ache in you (put there by the ache in me) by goforeddie Mature 50,109 ‘’Do you believe that being here is a mistake?’’ Those are the first words their therapist, Stephanie, has said in the last ten minutes. Before that, complete silence. The room has a dimmed light on, the walls are a lovely beige, and there are two couches, one directly in front of the therapist’s chair and the other across the room next to the door. It’s the couch you go to when you only observe a session as a guest. When you’re not here to dig inside your brain and spill guts out. Buck and Eddie are not seated on that couch. They’re on the other one, the big dark navy one with the two pillows on it. They’re not here in support of someone else or anything like that, they’re here for them. They’re here because approximately ten weeks ago, Eddie got shot. OR : the buddie couple therapy fic where, following the events of Eddie getting shot, both him and Buck are forced by the department to go through mandatory couple therapy.

im glad someones sending them to therapy. both of them need to learn how to communicate - even if there are some bumps in the road.

gave me no compass, gave me no signs (were there clues I didn't see) by Kwills91 Explicit 55,596 Eddie Diaz is finally opening himself up to the idea of dating again when a call ends with a building collapse and trapped inside with Buck, both men have realisations about how they want to move forward. But as Buck helps Eddie recover can either of them find the courage to tell the other how they feel. *** Takes place shortly after the events of 6x14

hurt/comfort + feelings realization + getting together = a good time

like a dog with a bird at your door by fleetinghearts Explicit 51,169 The kid with blood pouring down his shins is not so far from the dog lonely enough that he thinks breaking his housetraining is worth it for the ten minutes of berating that come with it, the ten minutes of undivided, if reluctant, attention. Buck thinks, sometimes, that at least he wasn’t the kind of puppy that gets put in a sack and drowned at birth. He wasn’t always unwanted. And he isn’t anymore. or, evan “i love you like a dog” buckley has only ever known how to love like, well, a dog, but maybe eddie diaz is the kinda guy to give a flea-bitten mongrel a forever home

buck introspective fic on the way he experiences love for those around him and how he often feels unfufilled in his relationships - until eddie.

let the world have its way with you by fleetinghearts Explicit 54,477 “It’s just that—I died,” Buck continues, voice unsteady enough that Eddie wonders if this is the first time he’s acknowledged that out loud. “I died, and there’s so much more. There’s so much more I want to do, things I don’t even know I want to do yet, and I almost had the chance to have and live them taken away. I don’t want to die and regret missing out on everything else, Eddie.” “So let’s make a list,” Eddie says. “Let’s do them.” or, a bucket list that’s really about buck needing to make a change and an eddie who’s ready to do anything to see him fall in love with life again. it takes some crossing off for eddie to realise—the thing at the top of the list in his own heart? it’s been right here all along

i really enjoyed this bucket-list fic and how much love eddie puts into fulfilling buck's wishes.

Evan Buckley & The Coma-Verse of Madness by Daisies_and_Briars Explicit 57,964 After being struck by lightning on a call, Buck experiences a plethora of alternate realities showing him different directions his life could have taken. Fighting hard to get home, Buck learns what, or who, is important to him in every lifetime. Inspired by a mix of Marvel multiverses and The Midnight Library by Matt Haig.

this is my all time favorite buddie fic - and it is also my favorite its a wonderful life fic. i think this did a good job of addressing buck's insecurities and self deprecation through showing him the reality of what he thinks he wants or what he thinks is best. each place teaches him something and he really does grow by the end.

every single thing to come (has turned into ashes) by imdarlenescousin Mature 66,631 “Don’t you want to get back out there, though?” Buck asked. “I mean, you kept asking about my couch, but what about you?” “I’ve had a couch this whole time,” Eddie countered. “A metaphorical couch.” “The hell is a metaphorical couch?” Chimney asked Hen and Ravi under his breath, earning only a shrug and raised eyebrows in response. - Or, Eddie starts dating, makes some friends, makes some realizations, and makes a serious offer.

demisexual eddie, friends to fiances trope, and couch metaphors...

Next To Me by emquin Teen+ 93649 Buck and Eddie started off in different places but eventually they ended up in the same. Eventually, they ended up in love. Told from Buck and Eddie’s perspectives, a canon-compliant take on Buddie and how they could realistically get together. - Buck had never had a friend like Eddie before. Someone that burrowed under his skin and wrapped around him and became a part of him — like an extra limb, someone he couldn’t do without. -  He loved him. Eddie loved him. Eddie was in love with him. With Buck. With his best friend. But it didn’t matter…loving him meant that the only thing that mattered was being able to keep him in any possible way even if that meant that Eddie could never tell him.

this fic has eddie coming to terms with his sexuality and also has a good dose of the diaz family in it as well.

The Space Between Sleep by Tattered_Dreams Teen+ 111,697 As weeks pass after the Tsunami, Christopher has Eddie to help him deal with the scars it left behind. He also has Buck. Buck's dealing with his own demons, but he has both of them. Eddie's trying to keep them all together and finding out his family might not be as small as he thought. The 118 have their few cents to add, too, because don't they always. | Canon through 3x03 | Complete | Depictions of trauma, some more detailed than others |

nice post-tsunami fic with tons of christopher - who am i to complain.

An Exercise in Patience by Klaerenn Mature 133,032 Instead of quietly accepting Eddie's decision to leave the 118, Buck decides to do everything he can to make him change his mind and come back, even if it means waiting at his door every other day of the week until he accepts. Meanwhile, Eddie is frantically trying to hold on to the last bits of control he has over his life as his old coping mechanisms fail him. He's left to manage his son's needs and Buck's reaction and eventually has to wrestle with the fact that he can't keep it up forever. As they both realize that healing takes time, Buck and Eddie have to learn to navigate their new normal and to deal with their lives apart and together.

a great fic about healing and growth and how those processes aren't always linear - and how sometimes you hurt each other during the process.

What's love got to do with it? by ColorMeParanoid Explicit 134 079 "Hear me out," Buck said. "Clearly, both of us are sick of dating other people. And we're a good fit, in pretty much every way that matters. So what if we're not in love? We don't need to be in love to be happy together." Eddie frowned. "So basically, we'd be boyfriends, without benefits?" "Yes!" Buck snapped his fingers. "Like platonic boyfriends! We'd get all the benefits of a relationship and none of the heartbreak." And maybe Eddie had finally lost his mind, or maybe it was from all the alcohol clouding his judgment, but the idea of it didn't sound half as crazy as it should have. *** After Buck’s and Eddie’s dates both end with disasters – proving once again that maybe dating just wasn’t meant for them – they decide to simply settle for each other. If there was one person in the world they'd ever trust with their hearts, it was each other. And who was a better person to date other than your very own best friend?

this fic was cute and a fun read. the pining and lack of communication is great in this reverse friends with benefits (boyfriends with no benefits???) situationship they have going on here.

Hold Steady, Hold Steady by thetalee Mature 172,701 After Eddie's bombshell announcement on Christmas, Buck runs away and finds himself back on his first day on the job. A time-travel fix-it fic of sorts, ft. a stranger that totally just wants to help, honest.

this was a really good time travel/alternate dimension fic that actually managed to wrap up well. as i said in my bookmark, "one of the best buddie fics I've ever had the pleasure of reading. really a mindfuck sometimes and I was anxious I wouldn't like the ending but I loved it so much."

i may come back and update this in the future - especially once s8 comes out.

I finally got to season two of 9-1-1 (I started like a year ago, maybe more but I keep forgetting to actually watch it), I’m only halfway through the first episode of the season and omfg Buck and Eddie already have such big crushes on each other that it hurts they’re taking too damn long to kiss and they only met in the episode I’m currently watching. I applaud you all for somehow withstanding like 6 entire seasons of this painfully drawn out homoerotic/homoromantic spiral of denial and doom.

Also I love Maddie, especially since it’s the next day and I’ve seen more episodes with her.

And I absolutely adore Christopher, he’s so cute I just wanna ruffle his hair. Someone needs to introduce this kid to some Ole Lund Kierkegaard books bc I just know they’d make him laugh so much he’d fall out of his seat and barely be able to breathe cause he’s laughing so hard.

Gyms and Balconies

"You know, sometimes I wonder what we're even doing here."

Eddie raises an eyebrow.

Julie rolls her eyes.

"No, I know, but we could just. Join them, you know?"

Eddie leans forward and puts his elbows on his knees.

"But the view is so much better here."

Julie follows his gaze down the balcony at where Buck is currently spotting Lucy. She needs a few moments to rip her eyes away from Lucy's arms.

"Very true", she murmurs and grabs for a peanut. Her hand misses the bowl.

Eddie starts laughing at her, so she throws one at him instead.

Hot Ghost Problems by ebjameston [ @ebjameston ]

40,937 words | Rated T

The ghost would prefer to go by Buck, if Eddie wouldn’t mind.

+++

[Eddie is the newest firefighter at the 118. Buck is the ghost haunting the 118. Unfortunately for both of them, Eddie's also a witch and needs to put Buck's spirit to rest, because that's what witches do.

Turns out, Buck's spirit? Super not interested in being put to rest. Very interested, however, in flirting with Firefighter Diaz, who is just trying to survive his candidate year.

(Also turns out, Buck? Super not dead.)]

I has the buddie brain rot plz send help/fics!

I've been reading a lot of #armyeddie #ptsd fics lately, and got an idea for a fic I desperately need. It might already exist, but if not someone please write it for me🙏

So here's the plot.

Buck sometimes shows up to work with a black eyes/ light bruises/a limp, firefam thinks he's being abused and want to protect him. But the truth is his husband/boyfriend Eddie has ptsd and sometimes gets nightmares/episodes. (I don't want Buck too hurt, just a little bruised from trying to calm down/wake up Eddie)

*bonus points if at the end, when firefam finds out, buck comes to work with a limp, and someone(chimney) asks if Eddie had a nightmare again. And Buck just answers Nope, he slept like a baby, with a sly grin😏

If Eddie is still in the army or a firefighter, and if firefam knows Eddie, is up to writer.

Please and thank you🙏♥️

[disasterbuck]

"Hey, can you hold this?" Buck asked, holding something out to Eddie.

"Sure," Eddie said immediately, lifting a hand automatically to take whatever it was Buck was giving him.

But instead of putting something else in his hand, Buck unfurled his fist to reveal it was empty and slid his fingers between Eddie's.

When Eddie looked up at him, Buck had a smug grin on his face.

"Dork," Eddie said fondly, pulling him in by the hand and kissing him.

[neptune-scythe]

maybe the lightening parallel, now after Eddie's conversation with priest man, now after having no Chris to hide behind, no one to project his feelings onto so he doesn't have to face that they're his feelings

maybe now he'll start to think about just what it felt like to watch Buck die, to feel his still heart beneath his hands, to feel it beat again, to watch him silent and still in a hospital bed with only machines keeping his body alive ... and why he felt the way he did

maybe this is what it takes for him to finally realize what it all meant, maybe he just needs the reminder, the visual ... the trigger, to remember that moment ... the one he probably does everything he can to forget, to remember ... and to acknowledge it, to really look at it for the first time and understand it

[alcego]

Summary: With Buck's teaching salary stretched thin, he solicits a roommate from Craigslist and welcomes Eddie Diaz into his--their--apartment. He's not sure what he expected from a Craigslist roommate, but Eddie keeps him guessing. When Buck starts having some unexpected feelings about Eddie's partners, he takes the appropriate time to unpack those feelings, only to be caught blindsided by a personal revelation and no clue what to do about it.

I am way too focused on the wrong things right now.

I wrote another chapter of the Buddie fic already.

It's like 4k words of what was going through Buck's head in s2ep1.
