For @911-rarepair-week prompt 1: beginnings/endings ✨️

Pairing: Eddie/Taylor

Rated M for some smut

Read on ao3 or under the cut!

Eddie was...confused. For many reasons.

When Buck told him he and Tommy were back together he was ecstatic for him, the obsessive baking had stopped and that genuine smile returned– and then she was suddenly around. Not during any time he hung out with Tommy or them both together, but Eddie would pull up to Tommy's to see her leaving, or try to make plans and sometimes get told he already had plans with her.

He reformed his friendship with Tommy two months before he and Buck reconciled, but had no idea that Taylor fucking Kelly somehow wormed her way into Tommy's life until then.

Eddie nearly crashed his car into Tommy's mailbox when he saw her walk out of the house for the first time, wearing a sweater that was way too big to be hers and what looked like an overnight bag.

Then nearly died choking on his beer when Tommy informed him he and Taylor were friends.

"I won't make you hang out with her Eddie, but she's not going anywhere either just so you know."

So Eddie did the logical thing–he drove straight to Buck's after.

"Yeah, I know they're friends now," Buck looked at Eddie pacing his loft with clear amusement. "They ran into each other not too long after our breakup."

"I just-" He stopped pacing and turned, placing his hands on the table leaning forward. "How?! And why aren't you weirded out by your boyfriend and ex-girlfriend being good friends!"

Buck shrugged from where he was leaning against the island. "She's rarely around when I'm with Tommy, we've talked sure but at this point she's more his friend then my ex. As for how...I don't know what to tell you Eddie, Tommy didn't go into details and I was just happy someone was there for him."

Eddie flinched at the words. Buck never told him to stop talking to Tommy yet he did so anyway, and so did everyone else. It wasn't until he came back from a trip to Texas and a scolding by Chris that he called. "But does it have to be her?" He huffed.

"She's not some demon Eddie," Buck laughed.

"A witch then," He grumbled. "She put a damn spell on Tommy."

Buck shook his head, chuckling. "Is this you hating Taylor or you being annoyed that she's stealing time with Tommy?" He said, a teasing glint in his eye that had Eddie refusing to answer.

It's about hating the she-devil, obviously.

It was a Friday night when Eddie actually spoke to Taylor for the first time. 

Having missed Tommy's birthday while they were broken up Buck insisted on a late celebration, and Tommy despite not seeming too excited for it, couldn't say no when hit with a pleading pouting Buck. 

Eddie realizes how worth it it is when he sees the look on Tommy's face walking over to the section of the karaoke bar they were at, seeing everyone who came to a late celebration for him.

Tommy deserves it, even if he did take a large swig of his beer to cover his scowl when Taylor hugged him, kissing his cheek after they pulled away. He glanced at Hen and Chimney to see their reactions, but there was nothing and as the night went on he saw them be polite with her anytime they interacted– in fact everyone but him seemed to be fine with her. 

Eddie kept drinking, eventually finding himself leaning against the bar, watching a tipsy Tommy and Chimney belt out some song from a movie half of them probably didn't know but everyone was enjoying. 

It was then that Taylor walked up to him.

"Eddie."

He glanced at her quickly before turning back to the stage.  "Taylor."

"Okay, what's your issue with me?" She sighed, sitting on the stool closest to him, her knee brushing against him making his body tense for a second. "I know I needed to apologize to the others, so I did and we're on okay ground, but I don't recall doing anything to make you hate me this much." Taylor glanced over at Buck where he sat with Maddie hollering towards their men on stage. "Is it because I was a crappy girlfriend to Buck or-"

"You're selfish. You only care about yourself and your career and you'll throw anyone under the bus if need be," Eddie snapped at her, frustration and something else he couldn't place rising.

"I admit that was me, but do you really think Tommy would have become my friend like he has if that was still me?"

"Oh you suddenly changed into a better person huh?" 

She frowned, and crossed her arms over her chest. Eddie averted his gaze and shfited on his feet, not looking at the dip of her shirt. "People can change Eddie, it's been two years."

He said nothing and took another sip of his drink. He didn't want to admit she was right, people can change– and deep down he knew he was holding onto his dislike because hating her was easier than dealing with the opposite. 

Taylor nodded her head, accepting his silence as she got up and left.

His eyes were glued to her walking away even as Buck suddenly was at his side, throwing an arm over Eddie's shoulders.

"Man, Tommy is hot." Buck said beaming, gaze locked on Tommy who was playfully bowing on stage as the song ended. 

Eddie watched Taylor step onto it, genuinely laughing at something Tommy told her, his next words slipping out of his mouth before he registered them. "Taylor's hot."

Buck's eyes snapped to him, wide and shocked. "What?"

"I need another beer," Eddie groaned, shoving Buck away to get another. 

"Wait wait! Taylor's what-"

"I didn't say anything!"

"That's why you hate her so much!" Buck bounced next to him, grinning, tipping slightly with his own drinks getting to him. "You like her!"

"I don't like her man!"

"Okay fine you think she's hot."

"Go away Buck." Eddie practically whined, cradling his beer to him and dropping his head against the bar a little too hard. "I'm not into the she-devil. I had too many beers that's all!"

"Whatever you say!" Buck said with a laugh, ruffling Eddie's hair like he was a child much to his displeasure before running off, yelling for Tommy and tackling him the second he walked off the steps.

His gaze went back to Taylor. Her eyes met his as she finished singing her line and the song ended. He didn't look away until she walked off the stage.

Eddie would take the information to his grave, but he had one or two dreams about Taylor in the past. At least one while she was with Buck that left him making an excuse to not hang out when they were off shift, terrified of running into her and too guilty to look at his best friend.

None of it compared to the real Taylor who laid naked in bed beside him as thoughts of last night filtered in through the haze of alcohol.

Eddie let his eyes and hands wander over her, a little obsessed with the way she moved her hips to match his thrusts, with the way her body was flushed from her first orgasm, and the look of pleasure he was causing.

"Eddie.." She moaned out, nails digging into his back "Get on your back." The words sounded breathless, but the demand behind them was clear. Eddie groaned and wrapped his arm around her, flipping them so she was on top. 

Taylor sat up, and Eddie wished he could take a mental picture. Her sitting on his cock, body flushed with a slight sheen of sweat, hair a mess...–damn he was screwed wasn't he?

She grabbed for his wrists, his eyebrows raising as she pinned them above his head. Her eyes locked with his as she started riding him. Eddie moaned when she sunk back down on him the first time and the feeling of her holding his wrists down, both of them knowing full well he could easily move them.

Eddie kept them there. It was the first time in this position for him–and he couldn't deny how much he was liking it.

"Next time I'll have to tie them up," Taylor told him, mouth inches from his. Eddie's hips thrust up at her words making her chuckle.

Eddie dragged a hand down his face. Fuck.

Beside him Taylor shifted making him tense up.

"Stop thinking so much," Taylor huffed. "We had sex, so what?"

"You're my best friend's ex, that's what! And we hate each other!" 

Taylor shifted up, the sheet falling more off her body. Eddie inhaled sharply and looked away, missing her amused smirk and wandering eyes. "You hate me Eddie, remember, I have no issue with you."

"That's not- I mean-" He swallowed roughly, mind halting as his eyes trailed downwards.

Half of him wanted to wipe that smirk off her lips...the other flashed back to the night before when those same lips were wrapped around him.

Taylor shifted onto her side, pulling the sheet off her body. He felt annoyance spike at the knowing glint, but it did nothing to dim the desire coursing through him. Eddie cursed under his breath before rolling on top of her as she grinned.

Oh yeah he was so completely fucked.

I just read a bucktommy fic that made me low key ship Eddie Diaz and Taylor Kelly.

GUYS, WHAT DO I DO?!

(it's a great fic tho... 10/10 would read again)

[blackcoldcrackedheart]

So....who's interested in a EddieTaylor fic with a supportive (but slightly concerned) Bucktommy?

[trialbywombaat]

[eddierays]

[a-mel0n]

wait wait wait WAIT. eddietaylor has so much potential and would be fucking hilarious.

they have to hide their relationship from buck when its starting out bc it’s awkward and eddie is 1000% breaking the bro code and “how am i supposed to tell him i’m sleeping with his ex? is that illegal? it feels illegal.”

one day buck just collapses into bed and goes “i think eddie’s hiding something from me��

and tommy’s like “… okay?”

“yeah he keeps blushing when he looks at me and then looks away quickly and he keeps running when i try and talk to him and- oh my god.”

cue buck driving over to eddie’s and bursting into eddie’s bedroom like: “eddie do you have a crush on me because i REALLY don’t feel the same and if you do its gonna make work awkward and-”

and then taylor fucking kelly walks out of eddie’s bathroom having CLEARLY just taken a shower and pulls out the “not everythings about you, buck” line

eddietaylor would be 10x more interesting and fun to watch than buddie going canon

josie you’re starting off with a bang i see 👀 !!!! listen, eddietaylor would be soooooo hot. the enemies with benefits to friends with benefits to lovers storyline they’d have would be so good and i’d eat up every moment of it. kinda wish they brought taylor in for eddie and not buck to begin with, or at least, the second time around. ughhhh

[911-incorrect-quotes-dispatch]

Eddie: Why did you ask me to meet you?

Taylor: Because I thought Buck coming out meant that you two would finally be together.

Eddie: What? Why would you think that?

Taylor: Really? Buck, who pretty much became Chris' second dad from the day he met him? The same Buck who's been with you through thick and thin?

Eddie: Yeah, he's my best friend. He doesn't like me like that though, besides he's dating Tommy.

Taylor: I've spoken to him a lot these past weeks, so trust me when I say this. If you're interested, let him know.

Eddie: Why would I trust you?

Taylor: Because I don’t care enough about you to lie.

[soldierandawar]

I respect rarepair shippers so much. Lowkey feel like yall are the backbone of fandom. When everyone else is falling apart yall are like, “what if I put these controversial or people that no one else really thinks about together.” And then you go and make some beautiful content. It’s great. Thank you for your service.

[nubuckleather]

Okay okay if they’re going to make Eddie’s endgame relationship with a woman I think it should be Kim. Like it can’t be some perfectly nice perfectly normal AnaMarisol 3.0 it needs to be a woman who is insane that’s the only way you can get me behind straight!Eddie and Kim is the only woman on the show to date who is insane enough

[buckgettingstruck]

i want taylor back specifically for a gerrard and councilwoman takedown plot where she teams up with eddie and bobby. otherwise michael should come back

[therealstacyfakename]

I want Taylor Kelly to come back in 8b and it’s only to have pity hate sex with Eddie after she learns about how he bungled his attempt to go to El Paso

I have no thoughts past this but can’t stop thinking about the eddietaylor tag

[trialbywombaat]

I actually need more EddieTaylor in my life so 😤😤😤 your Make Me Write game!

I don't know what it is about this pairing that's invaded my brain*, but ever since that EddieTaylor fic got published a couple of months ago I can't see Eddie with anyone else now 😂

No one at the 118 was unnattractive. They were all firefighters, after all. Buck has always been her favourite - or had been, before they'd broken up. She's always been drawn to the golden boys, the ones with puppy dog energy and sunshine smiles. And those were the ones who always seem drawn to her too; the ones who have the patience to put up with her personality, at least for a little while. But there's no denying that Eddie Diaz is a catch. Objectively, he might even be hotter than Buck. His hair is perfeclty imperfect, celebrity dishevelled with dark strands falling down over his forehead, strands that she can just imagine reaching out for, to brush away. She could let her fingers linger, soft against the skin behind his ears, and maybe their eyes would meet and he'd falter for a second before looking away, thinking about his friendship with Buck and how nothing could happen between them...

*Actually I could have a pretty good guess, but that would be a long and rambling essay. Maybe another time.
