In The Line Between - New Zoro/Tashigi fanfic on AO3 - Words: 1,942 Click on the title to be redirected to the first chapter :)

Hi, it's been late, but I have to share with you, my new fanfic. Recently I've been reading about ZoTash fanfic. Some of them were really great but with no end. And then, I thought why don't I write one too? And I wrote. The last time I publishe was, oh my, it's so far away, I can even remember. It was the time were people still using fanfiction.net. "Two detectives. One bustling city. As the tides of crime rise in Water 7, Zoro, a seasoned CRU investigator, and Tashigi, a meticulous SCU detective, find themselves thrust into an unlikely partnership. Starting as reluctant colleagues, they soon discover a rhythm in each other’s methods—and something deeper brewing beneath the surface. ‘In the Line Between’ is a modern AU slow-burn romance that explores the delicate balance between duty and desire as the lines between professional boundaries and personal feelings begin to blur." I will publish every sunday, since I started on a week-end. Be sure, to like and share to spread the love.

For a holiday (and forevermore) - now complete

chapters: 30/30

words: 94k

rating: M

summary: Eddie's sick of personal, intrusive questions about his love life whenever he visits his family, so he starts bringing Buck for the holidays as his (fake) boyfriend. He only wants to shut them up, and doesn't expect that the small crush he has on his best friend could actually turn into something more...

aka a fluffy fake-dating, rom-com-inspired fic (with only a splash of angst), with lots of family feels, oblivious and pining idiots in love, bed sharing, hand holding, denial of feelings

(excerpt from chapter 2)

 “Honestly, sometimes I wanna just bring some random guy home for the holidays and introduce him as my boyfriend just to spite them and shut them all up.” he adds without thinking, frustration still evident in his voice.

“I mean, we can do that.” Buck says, his tone teasing. Eddie snorts. “What? I could be your boyfriend.” he continues and Eddie feels his cheeks heat up. Shit.

“Yeah, right.” he chuckles.

“No, seriously, we could do that.” Buck’s voice sounds more earnest now, and Eddie looks at him with surprise. He can’t be serious, Eddie was joking, it was just a thought, a crazy idea from the spiteful and petty side of him.

“I wasn’t serious.”

___

(excerpt from chapter 6)

He feels his face and neck grow hot. Why the hell did Buck buy him a Valentine’s Day gift? “For my fake boyfriend.” he adds, smirking, as he finally steps inside the house.

“Oh.” Eddie’s kind of stunned. Obviously, it’s a joke. They’re pretending to date, so Buck figures it’s funny to buy him something. No big deal. Except, try telling this to Eddie’s heart that flutters in that certain way he doesn’t want to name… because fact of the matter is, Buck noticed what day it is, that it’s Valentine’s Day, a day of love, and his first thought was Eddie. But it’s a joke. Of course. He can’t read into this. “Thanks.” he chuckles nervously, closing the door and trying to get it together. It’s not weird, you can buy a friend a Valentine’s Day gift. Especially as an inside joke, because you’re fake boyfriends anyway. He takes a deep breath and follows Buck to the kitchen. He adds jokingly: “Sorry, got nothing for you. I had no idea what day it is.”

“Yeah, me too. Until I got to the store and saw all the Valentine’s Day-themed stuff.” Buck says, putting the beer in the fridge. “But kinda figures we’re spending it together, huh?” he looks over his shoulder to grin at Eddie. “Since we’re kinda dating.”

if you like fluff and romcoms, especially the movie "Holidate" (2020) which inspired this, and Eddie&Maddie friendship, and sibling dynamics (particularly big brother!Eddie), and uncle Buck (not only to Jee👀), and Buck being a ray of sunshine everyone falls in love with - you might like this one haha

For a holiday (and forevermore)-chapter 17

Chapter 17: Thanksgiving II (excerpt):

(...) “We’re raising Chris together, he’s our son.”

“Yeah.” Buck whispers, looking at Eddie with that genuine smile Eddie hasn’t seen once today. 

“How does that even work?” Philip asks, frowning.

“That’s not really what I meant...” Margaret comments with a frown. “And I thought you two were… friends? Right?” her frown deepens, as she looks at Buck, then at Maddie for confirmation, as if she knew about Buck’s love life better than him.

“Chris is as much my son as he is Buck’s.” 

“And we’re dating, actually.” Buck suddenly says, and all eyes turn on him. Eddie thinks he can hear Chimney choking on his drink (...). This wasn’t the plan, they weren’t supposed to pretend here, too. Hell, Maddie and Chimney are right here. But if that’s what Buck wants, Eddie’s on board, of course.

For a holiday (and forevermore) - chapter 30

Chapter 30: Christmas IV (excerpt):

 “Athena, Bobby, meet Nina Buckley-Diaz.” he said proudly, lifting her up a bit and showing her off. “Do you wanna hold her?” Buck added, looking at Bobby with those bright eyes.

“Of course.” Bobby whispered, and before he even finished saying it, Buck was placing the baby in his arms.

“Look, it’s your grandpa Bobby.” he said to Nina, who was looking up at Bobby with the exact replica of Buck’s eyes, and Eddie could see tears in his eyes as he turned his head towards Buck. Who was now panicking a bit. “I- I mean, if you’re okay with being called- I mean, it can be pops, or- or, you know, just Bobby-” he started rambling.

“Babe.” Eddie cut in, and smiled reassuringly when Buck looked at him, and he took a deep breath and relaxed a bit. Eddie wished he sat next to him, so that he could hold his hand. But this was Buck’s moment with his father figure, so he sat it out.

“No, Buck, it’s okay.” Bobby rushed to say, voice thick and shaky, tears welling up and one actually escaping down his cheek. Athena reached over, from the other side of Buck, to wipe it off gently, with a fond smile. “I’d love to be grandpa.” he whispered, eyes on Nina, not looking away.

“Does that make me grandma?” Athena finally chimed in, smiling brightly.

“If you want to be.” Buck grinned sheepishly. “Coolest grandma ever. Don’t tell your mom or abuela.” he quickly added, pointing at Eddie, and they all chuckled quietly.

For a holiday (and forevermore)-chapter 19

Chapter 19: Christmas Eve II (excerpt):

The door is open, and… and Buck is right here, looking nervous and tired, his hair a mess and bags under his eyes, while he’s anxiously twisting his fingers. Still as beautiful as ever. Eddie can’t breathe. He’s here. Buck’s here. He came, despite it all, despite downright refusing to really talk to Eddie for weeks. He’s so stubborn and infuriating, and Eddie has never loved anyone more.

“Hi.” Buck says quietly. Eddie’s stunned. “I’m so sorry to just come here unannounced, I- I talked to Maddie, or,” he blushes adorably, looking away for a second, “she tore me a new one about how stubborn I’ve been, and, well, she convinced me to stop acting stupid and talk to you. So, I did one last stupid thing and got on a flight to Texas.” he smiles shyly. “It was a hassle, Christmastime is not a good time to travel.” he chuckles. “It’s a Christmas miracle I got here at all.”

“Buck.” Eddie finally says, because Buck’s starting to ramble, and Eddie needs to know why he’s here. He hopes, of course, and he has been planning to tell Buck about his own feelings, but his sudden arrival throws him for a loop, and he needs a minute to wrap his head around it.
