Summary: 

It’s Christmas time and Buck is alone again choosing to pick up a shift rather than spend time with his family, it leads to a fight with Eddie and the next thing he knows he’s waking up to his ex-girlfriend at the end of his bed (who isn’t really his ex). What happens next is a wild night filled with ghosts, the past, present and future, and so many realisations Buck doesn’t know what to do next.

Summary: TK needs a fresh start after a failed marriage proposal, Carlos needs to be back near family after trying to raise his niece 3 hours away after the sudden death of her mother, his older sister. Call it faith or divine intervention, but they end up in the same city. TK is trying to get his life back on track, all while catching the eye of the hot single "father". Carlos not only has to adjust to parenthood overnight, but to support his niece who hasn't spoken a word since her mother died. It might be fate or the doing of a quiet little mouse (or both), but the two keep running into each other, on and off the job. Can they juggle a relationship while accepting both their own baggage and each other's?

Characters: TK Strand, Carlos Reyes, Nieves Reyes (OC)

the softer it falls buck/eddie | rated T | 13,900 words | complete

the cutest cover ever is by @dickley-buddie for the @911holidayficfest !!! 

The sun is pink in the horizon, just starting its descent and emitting a light glow across the smooth expanse of snow. Everything is lit up pink and purple and orange, and when he glances over at Eddie, Eddie’s green coat is reflecting the light, illuminating his face and making him look like a dream. Buck has to glance away and ignores the skipping of his heart.

Eddie is silent next to him. All Buck can hear are their skis against the snow, their poles pinging with every push forward. And when he glances at Eddie again, it’s to find Eddie already looking at him with a soft smile. 

“What?” He asks, frowning and examining his own shadow to see if something is off.

Eddie just shakes his head. “Nothing,” he replies quietly. “I just …” Eddie trails off and looks back into the distance, and Buck so badly wants him to finish his sentence.  – Or, Buck inherits a house in a small ski town, reunites with his sister, saves a restaurant, falls in love, and finds a family, but not necessarily in that order.

milagro del pan de jengibre

After her mother’s death, Pepa decides to sell the Diaz family panadería, once known for their magical gingerbread that has since lost its touch. Eddie is working as a lawyer in New York, and Buck is living with his parents and younger siblings after he quit his job as a paralegal in Colorado two years ago and began searching for his calling. Pepa, since Eddie is in New York and Buck is still job hunting, asks Buck to help her sell the panadería. When Eddie learns that his tía is selling the panadería, he decides to work remotely until the end of the year to spend one last Christmas at the bakery he spent his childhood in. He also joins in on the sale with his experience as an acquisitions lawyer and as a Diaz, and him and Buck begin to work together on the sale. Throughout the process, Eddie realizes where he’s supposed to be, Buck figures out what he wants to do with his life, and the magic in the gingerbread mysteriously sparks again.

I’ll follow the stars, just to find where you are

“Oh no.” Athena peers out the windscreen, giving voice to the dread that’s been rising steadily since she arrived in Minnesota. “Oh no, no no no no.”

She’s been driving north from St Paul for three hours and the snow banks alongside the highway are only getting taller. Thirty miles have passed since the last town— a cluster of houses so small Athena drove in one side and straight out the other side before she even realised she was supposed to be in a town— and the GPS informing her that she’s nearly at her destination.

Not that she can see it yet, thick forest bracketing either side of the highway.

She’s starting to feel a whole lot less generous towards Maddie Buckley and this whole house swap idea.

Or The Holiday AU- Madney and Bathena edition.

TAKE ME BACK TO THAT LITTLE FARM WHERE EVERY WISH COMES TRUE [7.7k| holiday movie au] {ao3}

My fic for the @911holidayficfest! inspired by Dashing in December (2020). Thank you to @gayhoediaz for the lovely cover art! Title from Christmas Tree Farm by Taylor Swift.

Eddie is pretty sure this was the absolute last place he wanted to be as he sips from a glass of champagne and the tight shirt collar starts to bother him. 

There is light jazzy Christmas music being played over the speakers and decorations everywhere- and enough food and hor'd oeuvres to feed twice the number of people at the event. 

He is technically talking with his boss and his wife, but he could not tell you what in God’s name the subject was if he was being honest. He is a workaholic by definition but if he’s not working he would rather be with Christopher- and well here he is at the company holiday party, not working and not with Christopher. 

He tunes in just in time to hear his boss’ wife ask, “Do you and Alex have plans? She really does seem lovely from what I have heard.” 

Eddie swallows another sip of champagne before he answers, “No, actually- we broke up. But, Christopher and I are going back to my family’s ranch. I think it’s time we sell it- I also haven’t been in years, and I miss it- and my Grandmother- everyone is very excited that we are coming.” 

“Oh dear, I am sorry to hear that! Well, I hope you have fun and best of luck,” she replies before being tugged in another direction gently. 

Eddie just smiles and leans against the high-top table. 

He’s not really sure why he isn’t out at work, he never lies, but he also never corrects. Alex would have fit in his corporate circle, he was charming and the right amount of snobby and ruthless that Eddie is able to feign. But that had been the problem. And it wasn’t worth thinking about anymore. 

He loosens his tie a little as he walks toward the elevator and hopes he doesn’t get caught by another colleague, he really just wants to be at home.

Buddie | Word count: 18k | Teen and up

Summary: Evan Buckley lives in Nevada City with his sister, Maddie, and her boyfriend, Chimney. He begins writing Christmas cards to soldiers overseas. One of these cards makes it to Army Medic Eddie Diaz, who is facing his own battles.

words i’ve never said

When Eddie first gets to LA he’s looking for a fresh start and finds it at a bookshop. But not everyone is happy he’s there. The other guy at the store, Buck, can’t stand him. But things are good and they get even better when he develops an unexpected friendship with someone he met online. It’s hate at first sight for Buck, but at least he has a really good thing going with this guy he met online.

A Shop Around the Corner AU for the @911holidayficfest event. Huge thanks to @swiftiediaz for the gorgeous art!

Buck is happy enough with his life - he has a good job as a copy editor with a travel magazine and a long-term relationship with his girlfriend Taylor - but he can’t help but want more.

When the opportunity arises for him to enter a writing competition - with the bonus of hopefully getting to meet the reclusive ex-Olympian Eddie Diaz - Buck snatches it up.

He just isn’t prepared for his world to turn upside-down in the process.

Summary:

Look, Buck. It’s been nice getting to know you, but I don’t care if you think you’re Santa, don’t come into my house this year!” He heads back to the front seat of the car, not letting Buck protest though he saw he raised his hands to.

“Or any year!”

“But how will I get my presents?” Chris whines.

Gay Happy Meetings

buddie - 30k words - rated g It’s the week before Christmas and Eddie’s overwhelmed. He still hasn’t decorated, Christopher wants a present that’s impossible to find, and he has to cook an elaborate Christmas dinner for his girlfriend’s parents—despite being a terrible cook. But then when his Abuela comes for Christmas she brings along a handsome stranger named Buck, and suddenly everything Eddie thought he wanted is turned on its head.

snowed inn

M | 31.2k | ao3

Rivaling for a promotion, journalists Evan Buckley and Eddie Diaz get sent to a small town where they are each to write a piece on a once illustrious inn and its rich history. For two talented and overconfident authors, it sounds like an easy assignment - but in between a violent snowstorm, blocked roads, heated stares, and a struggling inn, Buck and Eddie may just have to abandon their rivalry and accept each other as partners. (Loosely based off of the film Snowed Inn Christmas.)

this is my contribution to the @911holidayficfest, thank you to @swiftiediaz for creating the beautiful graphics mwah 🎄✨
