i take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover

12.8k words, chapter 1/10, gen, dancing with the stars au

this is my @buddieversion fic where i didnt quite finish in time but i will have it all done i promise.

summary: buck the firefighting tiktok star gets invited to be on dancing with the stars and is partnered with first time pro eddie diaz. as the season progresses, eddie and buck get closer and closer. will they win the season? will they fall in love? they'll find out.

When Evan Buckley first heard about TikTok, he really didn’t expect to start making content, let alone gain millions of followers. He just wanted to put out fire safety information and show what the job is really like. It started out simple: taking trends and implementing the station, making videos about what to do in very specific situations - that turned into a q&a series quickly, and he loved it, showing off his teammates and how quickly they can respond to things - there was now a series of throwing things at Chimney and he was really good at catching things, despite seeming like he wouldn’t be able to. He worked well with Lucy, she was a good partner for him, plus she was down to do some of the more show-off things that Hen and Chimney aren’t. Not to mention Bobby loved joining in on the more educational content, being affectionately called Captain Dad in the comments.

He started his TikTok, @intothefire, impulsively, after hearing about TikTok from Hen. He had a couple videos go viral quickly and he jumped in followers after that. These people were excited to see a firefighter. Or maybe they were just thirsty, Buck knew that he looked good and it seemed to help boost his videos either way. He was completely satisfied just being a firefighter, he loved his job, but he couldn’t deny that he really liked making content. It was a fun, creative outlet for him. He wasn’t in it to make money or even really to get famous. The fame was just a side effect.

That’s why, when  Dancing with the Stars  approached him, he was shocked. He immediately brought it up with the rest of the team at their weekly big family meal, eager to hear what his family had to say.

nothing safe is worth the drive (i'll follow you home)

(my entry into the buddie (taylor's version) fest)

The 129 has been their house for the past few years, even longer for Buck. But now, it feels less like a house and more like being the local pariahs. So, when Carla tells them she's moving to LA to be closer to her father, they jump at the chance for a new house. Not wanting any problems this time, they agree to not tell anyone at the 118 that they're together until they're certain it's a safe place for them. This is season 2, an alternate universe's Buck and Eddie's version.

[line break]

i planned on this being done by the date, when it was only supposed to be like 15k max. now it's probably going to be at least another 5k before it's done.

anyways, hope y'all enjoyed this first part!

Buck’s unpacking his suitcase ahead of the three-night stay, rambling away to Eddie about how he hopes Taylor’s having a good time at the spa he convinced Maddie to take her to, but Eddie can barely hear him beyond the blood rushing past his eardrums. He thinks back to that first conversation with Hen all those months ago, about how he was so sure of how the rest of his life was going to look, and about how the rug was swept from under him for the third time in as many years. Hen called brave then, but Eddie thinks he’s anything but.

Tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone.

If you love Buck, you need to tell him.

-

Eddie realises he's in love with Buck. Buck gets engaged, but not to him.

Arts and Entertainment Spotlight: Swan Lake at the Dolby Theater

The Los Angeles Ballet’s 2022-2023 season ends with a bang with their fresh take on a ballet staple. Artistic Director Bobby Nash is in his eighth season with the Los Angeles Ballet, and it has flourished under his direction. However, his associate artistic director, Eddie Diaz, is the one who has caught our attention with his reimagining of Swan Lake. New to us this season, Eddie Diaz’s resume indicates an illustrious career, beginning at the now-defunct El Paso Ballet Theatre then moving to a fellowship with L’Opera de Paris, and eventually landing at Ballet Austin…

everything about them, for as long as he can remember, has been stolen glances and half-aborted touches and confessions thinly veiled under regular words and memorized coffee orders. it's not healthy; he knows that. but it's all they've ever done. or eddie adjusts to returning to the 118

(my @buddieversion fic based off folklore (<33) that was supposed to be finished. it definitely isn't, but it will be soon.)

EXPLICIT ♡ 9K ♡ BUDDIE

Of course he’s immediately wary of it. Porn videos have never worked for Eddie, so why would the audio version of them be any different? It’s the same strangers faking the same moans and whines as the other actors, just without a pretty face to go with it. Eddie thinks it’ll almost be less effective—seeing every tiny reaction that someone has to what you’re doing to them is part of the fun—so he doesn’t have high expectations. He doesn’t expect it to work.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: 9-1-1 (TV) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Evan “Buck” Buckley/Eddie Diaz (9-1-1 TV) Characters: Eddie Diaz (9-1-1 TV), Evan “Buck” Buckley Additional Tags: Buddie version fest, Getting Together, Boys In Love, First Kiss, First Time, Anal Sex, Blow Jobs, Bottom Eddie Diaz (9-1-1 TV), Top Evan “Buck” Buckley Summary:

Eddie had spoken to his therapist about Buck, a lot, if he was being honest.  About how he’d felt when he’d been shot and looked up and Buck had been the one he’d thought was hurt.  About the whole Ana and Taylor fiasco.  About how Buck’s reaction when he’d said he was leaving the 118 had hurt so badly, like the tsunami and lawsuit from a few years ago.  Frank had looked at him carefully and asked why it had mattered to him so much, why Buck’s reaction had been the one that had cut the deepest.  He’d bluffed his way through an answer he didn’t quite believe in himself.

And yet, lying there on the sofa with his head in Buck’s lap and Buck offering comfort willingly for both of them, the realisation hit Eddie like a ton of bricks. 

He was in love with Buck

This is my buddies version fest fix, based around the music of Taylor Swift! My inspiration was You are in love for the first part, and dress for the second part. And it’s yet another buddie get together and have lots of fun times fic, that I absolutely adore! Enjoy!

“You know why, Mads,” Buck says. “I can’t—I can’t just come back and pretend that nothing happened. That I didn’t betray everyone’s trust.”

“But they forgive you,” Maddie says, and she frowns into the camera, lips pinching together. “You know they forgive you, right?”

And Buck—he does know, knows that they forgave him the moment he apologized, but the thing is— The thing is, Buck isn’t quite sure he forgives himself yet.

or, after the lawsuit, buck returns to los angeles to see maddie. seeing eddie too—well, that’s just inevitable.

Took Me By Surprise (You Said “I’ll Never Leave You Alone”)

At the end of the day, there are always going to be constants in the world, things you can't dispute. Things like the sky is blue, pi is 3.142 and Eddie and Buck are made for each other.

This is them through the years, from friends, to lovers, to strangers to more.

Based off of the song Mine by Miss Taylor Allison Swift <3

They're still riding on the high of finally being able to call each other husbands, in their own little bubble. Honestly, there's a little part of them that won't ever believe that they've managed to get each other. They’re going to be able to kiss each other good morning and good night, go to parent-teacher meetings as husbands and raise Christopher and any other kids they bring into their family together. 

They’re soulmates in every sense of the word.

But that's the thing, there are always going to be universal constants, things you can't dispute. The sky is blue, pi is 3.142 and Eddie and Buck are made for each other.

It just took them a little time to find their way back to each other, and now? There’s no way they’re going to let each other go.

he's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel (the other on my heart)

Buck’s been in love with Eddie since he was seven years old. The Diazes moved to their neighborhood the summer before Buck started second grade, and it took one sweaty afternoon of racing Eddie downhill on his skateboard for Buck to tell him they were gonna get married someday. Eddie looked at him quizzically, eyebrows pulled together with as much judgment as an almost ten-year-old could muster, but, eventually, said yeah, okay.

“Who–who is that?” he asks hesitantly, even though he knows the answer. Hen and Chimney roll their eyes, smirks tugging at the corners of their lips. Buck will find it funny, later, that they thought he was jealous because they were all talking about how hot the new guy was, but Buck was too busy trying to focus on Bobby's voice through the ringing in his ears to pay attention. 

“That’s Eddie Diaz, new recruit,” Bobby says. 

The wind knocks out of his lungs. Eddie Diaz. His Eddie. The same Eddie Buck spent over a decade pining after, and then another decade wishing he could go back to that night in that truck bed. The same Eddie who put bandaids on Buck’s knees and held him close when his parents were being particularly shitty. The Eddie Buck would recognize anywhere, forever, no matter how many years they spend apart. 

He’s standing in the locker room, pulling an LAFD shirt over a very defined chest. 

Buck wouldn’t be surprised if he was getting drool on the floor.

i’d marry you with paper rings

And then he takes a first sip from the cup, the coffee in it tasting absolutely perfect.

“Marry me, Eddie,” Buck groans, the rich flavors bursting on his tongue.

Eddie laughs, but the sound is only a background noise to Buck, his brain entirely focused on the drink in front of him and how the second sip from it somehow tastes better than the first.

“Already married, remember?” Eddie comments, and Buck frowns at him for a moment before he remembers his blurted out proposal.

“Well, damn,” Buck says, tightening the grip on his cup minutely and then loosening it instantly. “Shannon is a lucky woman if you bring her coffee this perfect every morning.”

(or 5 times Buck and Eddie don’t really get engaged and the 1 time they do. and then the time they finally get married.)

The clock is a minute away from hitting nine o’clock when Eddie walks up the stairs to the station’s loft, his uniform looking perfectly pressed and worn, but his hair rumpled, like he didn’t have time to comb it before leaving his house.

Their shift is about to start, and though Buck has been at the station for nearly fifteen minutes already, he isn’t surprised that Eddie is cutting it close once again. Fighting the Los Angeles streets on school mornings is already difficult enough, but Buck imagines that wrangling a seven year old through his morning routine adds a level of complication that makes getting to places with time to spare nearly impossible.

But Eddie’s rushed entrance could have a different explanation this morning, as Buck notices the two coffee cups that he’s holding in his hands.

From his position sprawled on the couch, Buck perks up when he spots the logo for his favorite coffee shop stamped on them. His eyes follow Eddie’s path as he approaches Buck casually, tossing a quick greeting for Chimney and Bobby over his shoulder as he walks past the kitchen.

When he reaches Buck only two seconds later, he doesn’t sit down next to him. Instead, he stays looming over him, his body acting like a wall between the entertainment area where Buck is and the dining area where the rest of the squad is moving around before their work for the day officially begins.  

Silently extending his right hand, Eddie presents Buck with one of the cups he brought with him, the transparent one that contains an iced coffee. Buck has to look between Eddie and the cup a few times before he understands the offer fully.

“For me?” Buck asks slowly, disbelievingly.

A pleasant warmth blooms inside Buck’s chest and roots itself to his throat and his stomach. Its branches spread across Buck’s shoulders and arms, and Buck swallows as he looks at the plastic cup intently, like it holds the answer to some unasked question.

Eddie scoffs, and Buck meets his eyes again. His arm is still extended, and he uses it to shake the drink in his right hand lightly, urging Buck to take it. Buck sits up and grabs it carefully, feeling like it might crumble in his fingers if he squeezes it too tightly.

“No,” Eddie says, taking a seat next to Buck on the couch, now only holding onto a paper cup that must hold his own coffee. “It’s for the other guy with an animal for a nickname around here.”

“Actually,” Buck says, his words still slow but his shock surely fading the longer he holds his gifted coffee in his hand. He tilts his head and turns his body so it’s facing Eddie better. “That could mean you brought this for Bear, the guy from B-shift with the thick mustache. ”

With his drink halfway to his mouth, Eddie pauses, looking at Buck from the corner of his eye. Buck only blinks back at him, holding his ground as he holds Eddie’s eyes in his. He smothers the smile that is trying to break free from his lips by biting the inside of his bottom lip.

“Is there really a guy named Bear in B-shift?” Eddie asks wearily, like it’s now his turn to sound disbelieving.

A second of stretched silence is all that Buck manages before he breaks and chuckles.

“No,” he says, shaking his head lightly and amusedly at Eddie’s confusion. “The guy’s name is Ralph.”
