We've already gotten 32 submissions for Getting Together Week, which is great! It does present a conundrum though: that is going to be a very long post.

How would you like the rec posts to be handled:

All in one post, no readmore, however long it may be

All in one post with a readmore

Divided into multiple posts (~10 recs per post)

Remaining time: 1 day 16 hours

Rest in peace to the incredible Anthony Stewart Head (20th February 1954 - 1st June 2026)

RUPERT GILES in BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (1997-2003)

there are in fact like five brian murphys on rate my professor, which does check out, i can see why murph called it

[islandoforder]

i guess it’s good to know that darkness man’s aura of disaster is so powerful that it counters madelaine’s ever present success

[islandoforder]

honestly wasn’t expecting one of the best parts of the sexy vampire season to be a young former grad student deeply and platonically connecting with a retired old man over civic duty and go karts

[ceruleanheaven]

month starting on a monday we have no excuse guys lets get to work and lock the fuck in

[ceruleanheaven]

yk its actually very chic and avant garde to start on tuesday the second

[ceruleanheaven]

many claim theres nothing more subversive and revolutionary than starting on wednesday the third

[ceruleanheaven]

there are simply no words in the english language that can describe starting on thursday the fourth. thats how iconic it is

[ceruleanheaven]

choosing to start on friday the fifth. i just think its very inspiring

the banksy bit is so fucking funny not just because this is so far from banksy’s art style but also we literally all know who banksy is and get this is still the one thing that lavonte rolls extraordinarily well on and therefore keeps working

[islandoforder]

multiple vampires being in a hunger frenzy seems unideal when they’re only hunting one (1) guy. struggle to think aaron bow has enough meat on his bones to be a good meal for a handful of hungry vamps

[islandoforder]

the femme fatale/ingenue dichotomy of how madelaine/vespers are playing is so good bc truly all of the biggest moments they have had in influencing the existing city council rely entirely on like full manipulative sensuality or full earnest connection

Hello, and welcome to the Summer of Buddie Fic Rec Extravaganza!

Over the course of fifteen weeks, we'll be celebrating Buddie fanfiction in all its forms: getting together fics, alternate universes, outsider POV, canon divergence, long fics, hidden gems, and everything in between. Every Thursday from June 18th through September 24th, a new themed rec list will be posted featuring fan-submitted fic recommendations centered around Buck and Eddie. 

This event is designed to celebrate the incredible variety within Buddie fandom. Whether you love emotional hurt/comfort, soft domestic fluff, massive slow burns, weird little one shots that changed your life forever, or underrated fics that deserve far more attention, there is a place for all of it here.

Participation is simple:

Each week has its own theme and submission form, and anyone can recommend fics for that week's prompt. You can recommend your own work or someone else's, submit one fic or twenty, participate every week or only once, and rec old favorites alongside brand new discoveries. The goal is to spread love around the fandom and highlight as many incredible creators and stories as possible.

Submission forms will be open two weeks before the list is published, and will close on the Wednesday before.

The rec lists will include fic title, author, rating, archive warnings, word count, a short summary, and the recommender's comments where provided. 

Themes are intentionally broad and open to interpretation, so don't be afraid to get creative with your submissions. Works in progress, explicit fic, dark fic, podfics, alternate universes, and pre-canon stories are all welcome provided they are properly tagged and submitted in good faith. 

Follow #summer of buddie fic rec extravaganza! for news, updates, and rec lists.

Whether you've been here since season 2 or just discovered Buddie yesterday, we're excited to have you here. Happy reading, happy reccing, and welcome to the extravaganza!

absolutely obsessed with lavonte’s everyman cosplay to patty babcock is essentially just throwing hj under the bus repeatedly over and over again

[islandoforder]

love that brennan can’t resist a weird psychosexual banter with zac on any level even when that means a cool punk shirtless vampire being intimidated by a middle aged midwestern reporter

[islandoforder]

there’s something about the way that siobhan is essentially playing an entirely different game to literally the entire rest of the table like madelaine is just soooo optimised to being a cool hot sexy vampire

[islandoforder]

brennan absolutely fucking with his table full of late thirty year olds via his soooo old 38 y/o leprechaun is just sooo perfect
