#evan buck buckley is christopher diaz's father

[thetommoway-oioii]

so i was rewatching the tsunami episodes because clearly I'm deranged and hate myself. I'm typing this with tear stains on my face and a soaked shirt collar because it's just damn fucking cruel to put ed sheeran at the end. after a tragedy. pulled a lot of strings in my heart as if buck hadn't done that already. every single time he screamed out christopher's name it felt like a fuckin stab wound in my heart. that is not just a friend babysitting. that is a FATHER. that's a dad that lost his SON. and what hurts like the pits of hell is that it was a natural disaster. something so out of one's control. and my heart just breaks thinking about how helpless and scared buck must have felt. buck who is always striving to do everything in his being to do the right thing, help folks. seeing him grapple with something that is so completely out of his hands, a situation where he is helpless, where no matter what he does, how much he tries, there are still things he cannot control, people he cannot save.

it really puts bucks character into perspective. and today, when I see people reduce him to some two-dimensonal character, who revolves around his sexuality and love intrest is so damn rage-inducing. it's a damn shame that people are walking around with a blindfold on but pretending that they see all.

TLDR; the tsunami episodes were masterpieces. heartbreaking, gut wrenching yes but masterpieces. Buck is christopher's dad and BT stans are walking on thin fuckin ice with their theories.

just realized that if christopher were to watch that video eddie took of him in 2x10 meeting santa, he would hear buck in the background fondly and proudly saying, “i really admire that kid. i love the way he always wants to do everything on his own.”

DAD BUCK! DAD BUCK! DAD BUCK!

[faramirsonofgondor]

Happy father’s day to the scene where Eddie says that Chris wants to spend the day with his Buck. And to the scene where Eddie says there’s no one he trusts more with Chris than Buck. Oh and the scene where they build Chris a skateboard. OOOOOH and the scene where Eddie asks Buck to talk to Chris about him having like 5 girlfriends at once. And the scene where Buck spends hours looking for Chris and doesn’t stop until Chris is safe and his body gives out. And the scene where Chris comforts Buck when Eddie gets shot. And the scene where Chris calls Buck when Eddie is having a breakdown. And the scene where Eddie begs Buck to get Chris to open the door and try to fix things. And the scene where they watch Chris leaving like forlorn parents. OOH and the Christmas Elf scene.

Chris, get behind Buck, sweetie.

Tease Tidbit Tuesday

Tagged by the always lovely @wikiangela @cal-daisies-and-briars @devirnis @fortheloveofbuddie @disasterbuckdiaz @tizniz @daffi-990 @spotsandsocks and @diazsdimples. Thank you so much! Very excited for you upcoming works!

THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!!!! WOOO! So that means, NFL Buck will not be going on a break lol. Also that Taylor and Travis post game PDA. OMG. Anywho, here is a short snippet from NFL Buck in Christopher's POV once again, post lash out. (All previous NFL Buck posts can be found here)

Christopher barely hears the three light taps to his door and the panic that had been a subtle thrum since being sent to his room, sky rockets. The consequences of his earlier outburst we're finally here and he is scared of what is to come. "Hey buddy, can I come in?" Buck's gentle voice takes Christopher completely by surprise. "Buck?" Chris asks for confirmation because he was expecting his dad and Buck is supposed to be at a dinner with some team mates for bonding. Being home early meant Chris's dad called him, which Eddie only did when he is truly upset.

Well, now Christopher felt like an even bigger jerk. "Yea kid its just me." Buck answers. He doesn't sound angry, but then again, he's never gotten angry with Chris. "Safe for me to enter?" Chris hesitates for a moment, trying to figure out if Buck was sent by his dad or if this is the quarterback's own doing. Either way, he would much rather face an over concerned Buck first than his upset father. "Its okay." he finally answers, sitting up on his bed. Buck pushes open the door then shuts it behind him once he's inside the younger Diaz's room. Dressed in jeans, a nice green button up, and the baby yoda socks Chris gifted him for his birthday, Buck makes his way over to the queen sized bed and plops down next to Christopher. Wrapping a muscled arm around his shoulder, Buck pulls Chris to his side in a tight hug. "You up for talking?" the older man asks. Christopher can't help but lean into his warm embrace, but is scared to meet his gaze, "Did dad send you?" Buck squeezes him tighter, "Yes and no. He called me and I'm not telling you this to make you feel bad or anything, but he was upset and asked for back up. Gave me the gist of what went down and I told him I would talk to you. Thought you could use a sounding board and a little more time and space from your dad."

Don't worry. Eddie and Chris will be talking too. Hope you all enjoyed!

How do you think Chris would react to BuddieTommy? Do you think he'd have specific nicknames for Buck and Tommy as his dad's boyfriends? Do you think there would be any shovel talks?

Ooo that's a really good question. I think he'd be thrilled about Buck, because about time! And then we know he thinks Tommy is cool so he'd be pretty pleased about that too, especially considering Tommy really wants Chris to like him so he takes the "cool parental figure" job very seriously.

Nicknames I'm not too sure about, I think they'd probably just stay as Buck and Tommy. I think he'd introduce them to people as his dads (he gets some very confused looks from his peers about this and Buck nearly cries the first time) but Chris definitely finds it easier to just use their names.

I highly doubt Buck would get a shovel talk, what with all his time and chemistry with Eddie. Tommy might get a little bit of one, but probably more along a "dont fuck this up" line. I think he'd mostly just be thrilled to see his dad happy with 2 guys Christopher admires a lot.

[thetommoway-oioii]

For Buddie, what about an established relationship prompt where they tell Christopher they're engaged? 💕

Hi @iced-coffee-jesus (love the pfp)!!! thank you for the ask! since there aren't many details I'm gonna assume you want me to take creative liberties! :D

anyway here it goes! apologies for any mistakes, I'm not a native English speaker or a good editor.

You and Me Until The End

Buck paced a hole into Eddie's living room. It was like watching a clock pendulum. Eddie was sat on the sofa, warily watching Buck. Buck came to a halt, gave Eddie a look that either read 'I'm nervous and scared' or 'I'm about to punch something'. Eddie was about 87% sure that it was the first one. Buck went back to pacing around. Eddie continued his brainstorming for making Buck stop.

"It's gonna be fin-" Eddie started but Buck was staring at him as if daring him to continue.

"Don't you dare tell me it's gonna be fine." Buck stated and continued walking around nervously, his hand now at his mouth, biting nails. Not a thing he often did but a bad habit he'd picked up as a kid whenever he was scared.

Eddie raised his hands in surrender. He was fond and worried about how much Buck was overthinking. Fond because he couldn't believe that the blond loved him enough to be this anxious and worried because he was certain Buck was overthinking too much.

"Babe" Eddie spoke gently and patted the empty couch space beside him.

Buck stopped in his tracks and contemplated what to do. He sighed heavily and plopped down next to Eddie, immediately leaning on his shoulder. Eddie wrapped an arm around Buck and pulled him closer, running his fingers through the blond's curls.

"You know he loves you to death right?" Eddie started, pressing a kiss to Buck's temple.

"I know.. what if he thinks I'm trying to replace Shannon though?" Buck hid his face into Eddie's abdomen. He loved Christopher so much. He didn't wanna lose the boy. He had been scared to tell him about his relationship with Eddie even though, rationally he knew Chris was secretly rooting for it. Relationship was one thing, engagement was another. This was serious now. He was afraid that even though Chris loved him, he wouldn't feel comfortable having someone replace his mother's place.

"Honey, he knows how much you love him and respect him and that you'd never ever try to do anything that he wasn't comfortable with. Plus he already sees you like a second parent Buck. You're not replacing Shannon in his mind or heart, he is gaining another extra parent. Someone who will love him just like I do and just like Shannon did. Please stop worrying so much." Eddie continued stroking Buck's hair, trying to comfort the man.

"I hope you're right because I canno-" Buck stopped when he heard keys rattling behind the front door. He sat up straight and immediately took off his engagement ring and slipped it into his pocket. He took a deep breath in as Carla opened the door and Chris walked in, his face lighting up immediately seeing both Buck and Eddie at the couch.

"Sorry boys, can't come in, I'm running late." Carla said from the front door before slipping out and shutting it behind her. Chris slowly made his way toward the both of them. Buck moved to the side and made space for Chris between him and Eddie. Chris sat down and gave a hug to each of them.

"Welcome back buddy. Did you have fun at school?" Buck asked, all his anxiety carefully placed behind a unbreakable mask.

"Yeah! We worked around in school's terrace garden today. It was really cool and fun!" Chris said enthusiastically.

"That's great buddy! Listen, there was something Buck and I wanted to talk to you about." Eddie sat up a straight, the mood shifting to a more serious tone.

Chris looked between Buck and Eddie and nodded, "Is it about the engagement?" He asked, shocking both the firefighters.

"You.. uh you know about that?" Buck asked, the mask slipping ever so slightly.

"Yeah," Chris nodded. "I saw the ring besides the kitchen sink a few days ago. I figured you'd tell me soon." He smiled brightly. If his expressions were anything to go by, he didn't seem upset at all.

Buck let out a half relieved sigh, though not completely sure if this was gonna end badly or not. "And.. how do you feel about that? Like are you okay with me and your dad getting married?" Buck asked tentatively, not sure if he was ready to hear the answer.

Chris looked at him with a weird face before turning to Eddie and giving him a look that read 'Is he serious?' Eddie half managed to contain his chuckle at Chris' expression. Chris turned to Buck and gave him a big smile.

"Of course Buck! I love you and Dad loves you too! I'm happy that you're officially gonna be my family now. I can have two dads now!" Chris moves closer to Buck and gives him a hug. He wasn't sure why Buck looked so scared but hugs always made everything better so he decided to give his Buck one too. Maybe now he'll be more at ease.

Buck slowly relaxed as he held Chris in his arms. Logically he was about 90% sure that this was gonna go well but his mind had spewed all kinds of doubts all day. Now, seeing the smile and love on Chris' face, he could let go of those doubts. Buck looked over to Eddie over Chris' shoulder and saw the most adorable, softest look on the man's face. He beckoned him forward to join in the hug as well and when Eddie held them both in his arms, Buck knew, nothing in the world could ever take this away from him.

that's it! I hope you like it. if you have any other requests or prompts please don't hesitate to send an ask.

again apologies for any mistakes.

[maraskywalkers]

I think about the "all this time everyone thought I was a bad cook"/"you were" a lot because 1) it's hilarious, Christopher's delivery gets me every time & Eddie & Buck's reactions each are great but 2) it's also indicative of the relationship that Chris & Eddie have and how lovely & good it is?? like the fact that Christopher can openly tease him like that & how often they are playful with each other & like even with Buck he can rib him about not having a couch or ofc he knows what a porterhouse is like anyway I just think about the other father son relationships right like Eddie's with Ramon and Buck's with Philip and like it's beautiful that Eddie has made it so Chris can talk to him about his feelings, that it's okay to be sad & angry and helping him learn how to handle those feelings, and he does so in a way that's open & honest & vulnerable because he's still learning too and he's worked really hard at being that for Chris but he's also made it so that they can be silly & playful & teasing because Chris know that he's safe with Eddie and by extension Buck too yeah like it's something I think about a lot as an aunt to young kids you know and just Eddie has made mistakes and he's always gonna be learning & growing right like we all are but he's such a good dad because Christopher can be himself with Eddie like he gets to be a whole actual person and not everyone gets that from their parents or family and you can tell just by their interactions that no matter what Chris is always gonna be loved & safe & respected & cared for with Eddie and Chris knows that and it's just so lovely you know????

[moonylouwho]

honestly, out of all the things that could happen this season, something i want the most is for Christopher to call Buck dad.

a father's day misunderstanding

buck x eddie || buckley-diaz family fluff || rated: t || wc 2.5k

Buck always helps Christopher make his Father's Day cards for Eddie but this year, when he asks, Christopher lies and says he's making it at school. When Buck overhears Chris asking Carla for help making the card, he's confused and hurt.

It all works out, though. Buckley-Diaz family fluff!

Or, the one where Chris tries to be sneaky, Buck misunderstands, and Eddie is just smitten with his family.

[drelizabethgreene]

Of course Buck snores and keeps Christopher awake. Typical father-son things.
