#I love bones sm if I weren’t already writing a behemoth of an AU I’d write a bones Buddie AU

[pansysgothgf]

This is potentially niche but there’s a scene in season 6 episode 9 of Bones in which Booth and Brennan are driving together and Brennan (who is having a bit of a manic episode tbh) admits to Booth that she’s in love with him, but she figured it out too late because he’s moved on from her.

Yeah, I need that with Buddie in season 8. Like, Buck is driving (obviously, Eddie is always going to be a passenger princess) and Eddie is in the passenger seat sobbing, because he just figured out that not only is he gay; he’s in love with Buck. But Buck has already moved on. They missed their chance and Eddie is grieving, while Buck’s heart breaks but there’s nothing he can do but drive. Eddie needs him to be together and in charge of his emotions right now, and Buck can push everything down if it means giving Eddie what he needs.

(But inside? Something in Buck is whispering that it’s not too late. It’ll never be too late, not for them. It’s not the right time, it won’t be for a while yet, but Buck is a much more patient man than anyone ever gives him credit for. His love will keep.)
