I have roughly twenty 9-1-1 WIPs that have been sitting in my Google docs for the last ~7 months, please tell me which fic should I focus on because I need to have a clear goal or they'll sit in my drafts for another 7 months
1. say my name like a slur, but i've been called worse
• 5 times Buck hates his first name, and 1 time he's never loved it more.
2. won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor
• singer/musician buck, lawsuit arc, buck is fucking loaded but he doesn't like to spend his parents' money for obvious reasons, enemies to friends to enemies to lovers. inspired by the thousand songs I listened to and said "oh that's so Buck-coded".
3. i sleep so i can see you, cause i hate to wait so long
• supernatural elements, dream sharing, HEAVY pining, requited unrequited love, everyone is so fed up with them even the universe decides to intervene
4. bury my body in shallow soil, for death was never meant to embrace me
• supernatural elements, immortal buck, heavy angst, sort of dark because buck's mental state is even worse than it is in canon. also buddie because of course
5. the blood of the covenant
• 5 times someone realizes something's wrong with Buck and 1 time he asks for help. sliiiight buddie
6. but i self sabotage (what the fuck is wrong with me?
• heavy pining, heavy angst, implied self harm, sex as a(n unhealthy) coping mechanism, Buck regressed to Buck 1.0
7. somebody should've had your back
• misunderstandings, post lawsuit, miscommunication, buddie are stupid and they physically cannot talk to each other. they kiss in Eddie's kitchen, because of course they do
8. blood is thicker than water but both feel the same when your eyes are closed
• kidnapping, Maddie leaves Doug earlier, pre-canon, timeline what timeline, Bobby acting as Buck's dad even before they really know each other. weirdly enough, not buddie because Eddie isn't even in LA yet, but rest assured that they become canon in my heart
9. rotten children don't deserve heaven
• past sex worker buck, child abuse, csa, the Buckley parents suck ass even more than in canon, Hen acting as Buck's sister, Maddie also left Doug earlier but that's not relevant, extremely slow burn full of angst and pining
10. put your hands to the heavens (kill your pride)
• time travel fix it, smart buck, bamf buck. and buddie. because of course.
11. To be loved by everybody (but you)
• Eddie starts going on dates set up by his aunt, so Hen sets Buck up with her friend Casey (the gay firefighter from Hen Begins). Eddie... doesn't take it well.
12. smokin' hot (working title)
• Buck smokes, he thinks no one knows, everyone does. Eddie finds out and bluescreens.
