Saying this after 16 years about the first few months of your relationship is hilarious, true, and cute as hell.
the whole time
i reblogged a post last night talking about how important it is to look through works on ao3 that are older or haven't as many kudos/hits, so i thought it would be nice to rec some of the things i read for 9-1-1 that are CRIMINALLY underrated
(everything here has under 500 kudos, 5k hits, or both - give them some love!)
some of these are locked for ao3 accounts only!!!
gen highlights:
not as bad as what i do to myself by livelyvague (@crazygirleddie) 3,056 words, buckley-diaz family, buckley siblings, background buddie, implied/referenced self-harm, love confessions 339 kudos, 2,865 hits
chris brings up self-harm and buck has a totally normal reaction
Winter Soup by HeartOfTheMirror 2,030 words, buckley diaz family, minor buddie, emotional hurt/comfort, cooking 375 kudos, 2,500 hits
“I’m just really glad you’re home.” There. His tone was mostly even. “You know I didn’t leave because of you, right?” Chris said. He leaned against the counter with his hip, crossing his arms and bending his head to try to catch Buck’s eye. Like father, like son. “I know.” The words were wobbly and quiet. Enough to trigger the Diaz allergic response to discussing each other’s feelings? He wasn’t sure.
i'll be there for you by allwedontdo 10,945 words, buckley-diaz family, established background buddie, domestic fluff, sick character (so, so domestic -- one of my favorite portrayals of the buckley-diaz unit) 411 kudos, 3,044 hits
Eddie leaves for a weekend and Chris gets sick. Buck deals.
to chase away the nightmares by likeallfire (@likeallfire) 3,162 words, buckley diaz family, buckley siblings, pre buddie, fluff and angst 148 kudos, 966 hits
“You know, I used to have nightmares when I was a kid,” Buck tells Chris. “Really?" Chris asks. "What did you do for them?” “Well,” Buck says with a smile, “I didn’t do much of anything. Maddie had the best cure for them, though.”
my only sunshine by simplyylupin 3,146 words, buckley siblings, pre-relationship buddie, hurt/comfort, episode tag for Voices (what if buck had actually reacted to his sister being kidnapped by a serial killer) 573 kudos, 3,259 hits
Maddie had laughed, tickling his ribs. She’d known exactly what he’d meant; before he went to sleep every night, he’d always beg her to sing the song to him. “You want that to be our code word?” she’d asked. He’d nodded, and she’d sighed. “Alright. If you hear me singing you are my sunshine, then you have to stop hiding and find me. Promise?” He’d hooked his pinky finger around hers. “Promise.” Now, as he stands in her kitchen watching Chimney pace frantically, Buck hums the song under his breath, flexing and uncurling his hands.
Red-Letter Day by Fizzlespin 2,598 words, buck & bobby, buck & chris, episode tag Kids Today ( :( ) 161 kudos, 1,410 hits
How Bobby and Chris reacted to Buck in the night he coughed up blood and collapsed in Bobby's back garden.
what are you doing down there? by maiamaryse (@buckwheeler) 4,087 words, buckley siblings, buck & bobby, fem!buddie, dobbie (grief, but love prevails -- so, so good) 72 kudos, 526 hits
She finds herself on the floor again. There’s still barely any furniture in this new place. That’s not why she’s on the floor. She’s laying in-between the couch and the coffee table. Here’s what she has: couch, coffee table, armchair. Hen’s old rug. Bed-frame. She’s not even laying on the rug. She’s laying on the hardwood floor, in her underwear. She’s thinking about buying a kitchen table. She’s not as lonely as she’d thought she’d be. But Bobby was like her Dad, so. Her like Dad is like Dead. Her like Dad has been like Dead for like three months. Quarter of a year. Sometimes it’s getting more normal, and sometimes it’s getting worse. And she hasn’t even got any socks on. And Maddie calls.
I just want to keep this dream in me by flightless maddie 2,371 words, buck & bobby, buckley diaz family, buddie, dobby, HEAVY ANGST!!!, self harm (i cannot even begin to describe how badly buck reacts to bobby's death here. but genuinely the best fic to come out after lab rats) 280 kudos, 1,756 hits
“Bobby?” Eddie asked. Silence filled the other side of the phone and Eddie felt something cold and dark slide down his chest, settling in his gut. “Bobby?” he repeated. A sob left Maddie. “Maddie,” Eddie pleaded. “Is Bobby okay?”
as the needle went in and out by eeriemedusa 5,351 words, buck & bobby, background buddie, alobby, fix-it, post 08x15, emotional hurt/comfort 312 kudos, 2,142 hits
He barely hears what the doctor says after he answers. Everything after strong donor candidate and positive match gets drowned out by the ringing in his ears.
death march by punknbuck (@bucknpunk) 2,488 words, buck & bobby, background buddie, alobby, post 08x15, hurt/comfort 142 kudos, 770 hits
The most difficult aspect of being a parent has, thus far, been losing his children. Now he finds that in close second is leaving the other three behind. Because the thing is - he doesn’t want to leave. Buck needs him here. He still hasn’t learned how loved he is despite all these years of trying, and Bobby knows Buck will perceive his death as Bobby leaving him. It's a deep, dark hurt his boy has carried his whole life, and Bobby was supposed to be here to love him through it. He won’t be. He isn’t sure Buck will survive it, not without Eddie and Christopher here to see him through.
buddie main:
if it brings me to my knees by butchdiaz (@butchdiaz) 42,671 words, 6 chapters, fleabag au, priest eddie diaz (the only multi-chaptered work i'm allowing myself to put here because more people HAVE to read this) 294 kudos, 2,859 hits
“Really, Maddie. It’s just lipstick,” she turns to the man on Buck’s left. “It’s not like I’m going to go to Hell for using some lipstick, right, Father?” “No,” He chuckles awkwardly, “I’d think not.” Oh. He’s their priest then. Their young, hot priest.
swear to be overdramatic and true by bucksbeagle (@bucksbeagle) 3,907 words, fluff, established relationship, engaged buddie (sooo silly) 385 kudos, 2,387 hits
He shoved open the window and managed to push himself halfway through it by the time Eddie shook himself free of his shock and rushed over to help. With Eddie spotting him, Buck managed a clumsy front flip onto the chaise lounge below. He laughed loud, moreso laying on the chaise with his neck bent against the backrest than properly sitting on it. “So much for cursing our marriage, huh?” Eddie said. “Holy shit, Buck.”
something so precious about this by Aoidee (@damnit-buck) 2,536 words, dobby, grief/morning, pre-relationship, emotional hurt/comfort 177 kudos, 1,263 hits
“When did you last eat?” Buck looks up at him, then away again. “Buck.” Buck huffs, “Everytime I try make something, I make something Bobby taught me. And then I–” “ –Can’t eat it because it's something Bobby made you.” Eddie finishes for him. Buck nods. Eddie nods, looking down at the food. He’s already taken bites out of his but Buck hasn't eaten any of his at all. Hasn’t even picked up his fork. “Right.”
so much like that by playinginthunderstorms (@playinginthunderstorms) 1,189 words, drunken confessions, forehead kisses 309 kudos, 1,374 hits
“Okay, silly goose. I think it’s time for you to drink some water and get to bed.” “You need to make a wish, first,” Buck tells him, arguing. Eddie’s smile widens to show his teeth, and Buck grins. Victory. “It’s your birthday, not mine!”
buried beneath by mxrvxl 7,457 words, buried alive, major character injury, first kiss, angst with a happy ending (READ THIS!!!) 290 kudos, 2,435 hits
Buck and Eddie get buried alive.
in burning red by ShowMeAHero (@andillwriteyouatragedy) 15,386 words, major character injury, near death experience, angst with a happy ending, trans!buck, unplanned trans male pregnancy 476 kudos, 5,454 hits
“Eddie. Eddie, it’s okay.” “It’s not,” Eddie bites out. He spits at the ground, then shouts, “It is not okay, Buck!” The silence that follows is deafening. Even the roar of the fire seems quiet in comparison to the absence of the words Buck isn’t saying. “I love you,” Buck offers. Eddie wants to wake up. “Don’t,” he manages.
lord what fools these mortals be by buckslasagna, Crazed_Fuzzle (@spurfasaurus) 8,608 words, wishes, supernatural elements, getting together 177 kudos, 1,134 hits
At a low point, Buck makes a wish to find someone who can love him back - and gets what he wished for. Unfortunately, the wish seems to be effecting everyone except the one person he really wishes it would.
sniffing out the truth by tinypeckers (@tinypeckers) 2,561 words, crack treated seriously, minor may/ravi, background puppy play (not the focus but it feeds the joke; trust me it's really funny) 196 kudos, 2,229 hits
For all Eddie's teasing that Buck is just a big, dumb dog, they both know it's only really true in the privacy in their own bedroom. Yet it seems that there's more to the running joke that Buck is a literal golden retriever when, just like a dog, Buck notices that something is off with May.
He Turns Dog by OrYouCouldHaveMine 2,330 words, angst, hopeful ending, implied puppy play (gone wrong) 130 kudos, 1,300 hits
There’s blood on his maw, and this time it’s not his own. It’s not coughed up from his lungs or from his belly. There’s blood on his maw, and this time it’s not his own, though he remembers it. There’s blood on his maw, and this time he put it there himself; this time it wasn’t propelled by a bullet. There is no one to point the finger at but himself. He turns dog.

Buck sucks at sucking
blood in the highs and count the stars by seachanged 1,129 words, stargazing, anal sex, bottom!buck/top!eddie 435 kudos, 4,198 hits
“Go on,” Eddie says, nosing into the soft spot under Buck’s jaw. Buck laughs, a little hysterically. ”You’re not serious.” “Oh, you bet your ass I am.” Buck can hear the smirk in his voice. “Okay,” he says, licking his lips and looking up at the vast desert sky, velvet black and wild with stars. “The fifteenth star is Antares. It’s also called the Heart of the Scorpion, because it’s the brightest one in that constellation.”
losing dogs (one-sided; unrequited) by pickdotter 2,558 words, unrequited love, angst, face-fucking, anal sex, bottom!buck/top!eddie (pretty sad) 190 kudos, 2,456 hits
Buck confesses his love. Eddie rejects him. They fuck.
If you were here by Lance_Spears 3,852 words, phone sex 93 kudos, 1,119 hits
When Eddie's in Texas, a phone call turns into something more.
slow promise by effervescentwolf (@effervescentwolf) 1,564 words, oral sex, and i quote 'soft cock blowjob to be precise' 409 kudos, 3076 hits
Eddie laughs at him, but he wraps his hand around Buck's soft dick, relishing Buck's sharp inhale at it. "Sensitive?" Eddie asks quietly, squeezing a little to watch Buck squirm. "Yeah," Buck says, pupils blown wide, breathless and eager as ever. "More?" "Yeah," Eddie says, cheeks warm, and he ducks down to take Buck into his mouth.
baby, i can be the one drown tonight by Lacerta26 (@lacerta26) 2,556 words, dobby, angst, bottom!buck/top!eddie, ambiguous/open ending, episode tag for The Last Alarm 132 kudos, 2,378 hits
He's halfway down the hallway when Buck speaks, a broken, cracked thing, the first time he’s spoken since they got into the car to come back to South Bedford Street, an unnatural silence blanketing them for the whole drive. ‘Eddie.’ Eddie doesn’t even turn around. ‘I’m so tired, Buck. Can we talk later?’
water me by Anonymous 1,386 words, watersports, shower sex, hand jobs 232 kudos, 4,030 hits
"You can just... you know." "What?" "Let go. I don't mind." Buck gaped at him. Ok. Was that... weird? Boundaries crossed, boundaries definitely crossed... His hand had stilled low on Buck's stomach, catching some of the smooth foam - and Eddie wasn't sure he wasn't foaming at the mouth.

some of my fave buddie fics for anon in no particular order! please mind all the ratings, tags, and warnings of these works while browsing:

about the present series by Amiril
The day of the shooting, Eddie got stuck in a time loop. But that was three months ago. He's completely fine now.
boys, when my baby found me by nondz (pinkjook)
Three months later, things are mostly back to normal.
And then there's an accident.
the city is a jungle and i’m a beast by putanauhere (TRUST ME.)
“There are no wolves in Southern California,” Buck states, another bit of trivia. He just doesn’t know it’s a lie.
The Things All Come and Gone by moodlighting
“I didn’t—it’s not that I couldn’t be alone,” Buck explained, pausing to find the right words. “I just. Wanted to be here.”
I Broke What You Gave Me, But You Kept Giving More by rcdwings
Evan Buckley wakes up without eight years of his memories with some guy named Eddie Diaz on his bedside. Which could mean nothing.
lonely little love dog by littleghost
When the 118 is closed for reconstruction after an earthquake, Buck is a floater for different stations around the city. He tries not to let it get to him. Much.
Buck: Hey! So there's this really cool new whale documentary on at IMAX! Want to go next...
Eddie: Sorry man I already saw it with Hen
Buck (in his own private torment nexus) :
Buck: (ninety seven trials and tribulations later): Do I... do I have to fuck a lesbian now?

i watch for the plot
the plot:

8x11 / 9x01
Isn’t buck?
I was gonna use "100% of divorces were caused by marriage" in a conversation about misleading statistics
But then I remembered these idiots
What I've learnt from comments and tags:
All divorces start with a marriage EXCEPT for gay ships, some of which have acquired one or more children, who aren't married even an official couple.
And they have probably been divorced more than once.
I will never get over how eddie basically called buck a deadbeat in 3x05 and then after almost dying in 3x15 literally put buck in his will as christopher's guardian like he pulled an pulled an uno reverse card on that man
stupid legal trouble making it so you can't see my kid? guess what asshole in the event of my death there'll be some stupid legal trouble ensuring that you HAVE to see my kid
Imagine loving a guy so much you almost kill yourself to find his baby boy in a tsunami, you claw at the earth when you think you've lost him forever, you crawl under a fire truck to drag his bleeding body to safety with an actual sniper shooting your way, you accept the fact he put you down as his boy's legal guardian in case he dies with barely a protest, you agonise when he quits being your job partner, you take said son to the zoo all the time, you get jealous like a dog pissing on a tree when he has a new friend, you're there when he begs you to fix something you can't fix and you can only hold on to his shoulder to try and shoot the pain, you go to him the second some ugly man dumps you, you throw a hissy fit about him leaving to Texas and sabotage his house showing, and then, you cave. You cave and you give up your housing situation to help him, you move into his house and you let him go. You let him go because you love him that much.
And he looks at you like you set his world on fire and built it back anew, and you hope he looks through the rearview as he drives away, hoping he'll miss you half as much as you'll miss him.
He will. You were struck by the same lightning, you'll forever share a heartbeat.
That last line has got me in a chokehold
genuinely I can't stop laughing at the fact that it's a canon buddie dynamic that eddie just goes around doing vaguely evil and illegal shit and buck follows him going surely this is all perfectly legally sound because eddie - my eddie, the paragon of goodness with a silver star - would never do anything illegal. but then again what else could I have expected from buck 'follows eddie diaz into what he suspects is a mob establishment with zero questions' buckley
Every fic I read just has "he has a silver star, he'd never do anything illegal" and it makes me giggle so hard
Eddie needs to be the one who proposes to Buck because he deserves to propose by his own choices and not because "it's the right thing to do"
And Buck deserve to be proposed to so he can feel absolutely wanted by someone
