hi friends! I've gotten a lot of requests in recent days to help find lost fics, and while I love that you have all thought of me, I am simply not your best bet in finding those fics

off the top of my head here on Tumblr @buddieficfind would be a much better blog to hit up!

what a heart can do | T | 86k | @bvckandeddie

In which Buck becomes the guardian of the daughter he never knew he had. Together, they discover what happiness truly means to them.

Absolutely devoured this fic and the two sequels in under a day

Team Up for Fire Safety | T | 17k | @courtepointeclementine

Eddie has been parenting solo for a long time — except maybe he hasn’t? Maybe he doesn’t have to?

Lean Not to Burn It Really Works | E | 30k

Buck is so happy to have Chris and Eddie back in his life, and so confused about what it all means.

Yes, both fics in this series merited equal weight in this rec, don’t ask questions just read them

in red blue green | T | 11k | @henswilsons

The commissioner signs off on a workplace documentary set in the 118 to better community attitudes towards the fire department. Unfortunately, whatever is going on between Firefighters Buckley and Diaz is a much more interesting story.

Every day I hope we get closer to a true work-place documentary episode

[mybuddieficrecs]

if anyone has any fics laying around where Buck is obsessed with the mole on the back of Eddie's thigh (see exhibit a below), kindly requesting that you send them to me stat

that leaving wasn’t easing all the heaving in my vines | Not Rated | 7k | lenastardust

The walls were cold. They were blank and hollow, mocking. No picture frames. No posters. Not even an added shelf. They were white, bright, and devoid of life. They were exactly what he needed. No proof of life. No proof of things he didn’t deserve, of love he didn’t deserve. Here he was Evan Buckley, a man with nothing and who was tired of trying to force himself into a life he didn’t fit in. or Buck moves out and struggles.

This fic is for anyone who wanted Buck’s emotional rock bottom arc in season 8 to be just a little bit more intense

Close My Eyes and Stumble (Right Into Your Love) | M | 21k | @hmslusitania

Eddie's PTSD is just that little bit worse and when he moves to Los Angeles, instead of joining the LAFD, he joins dispatch. Which is all good and fine, except for this one firefighter he keeps ending up talking to.

Such a fun pseudo-rewrite of seasons 1 and 2!!

take me to the lakes | T | 16k | @archerincombat

They look at each other for a moment. It feels brief, but then again it doesn’t. Buck quirks his lip up, almost teasingly. “Ready, cowboy?” Eddie thinks he could melt. The softness makes him vaguely nauseous, like he’s sinking. “I’m from Texas,” he reminds him, “Not a western.” or, eddie's a novelist, and buck never wanted to stay

This fic kind of gives the vibe of a Destiel fic written back in the day, and as someone who desperately misses that vibe this was such a fun read for me

always have, always will | E | 21k | shootingthestarss

Buck didn’t mean to pull away from Eddie. In fact, he hardly even realized it was happening until it hit him in the bathroom of a gay bar, hand stuck down another man’s pants.

Buck in an emotional saw trap of his own making, classic situation

[mybuddieficrecs]

Meet Me in the Middle (underneath a Little Bit of Mistletoe) | E | 40k | Princessfbi

aka Buck and Eddie agree to fake date each other to get through dinner with their parents during the holidays!  

Obviously fake dating is the only viable solution to dealing with your parents over the holidays

Eddie Diaz vs. The Evidence | G | 7k | buckmeetsboy

Eddie Diaz discovers the perfect scientific explanation for why the internet thinks he’s 98% compatible with his best friend: dad-friend bias. Definitely not feelings. (Probably.) OR Eddie and Buck take internet quizzes on the couch after work.

This fic was very cute, that’s it that’s the tweet

[mybuddieficrecs]

cut the the bruises off the peach | M | 20k | treelines

Buck peels Eddie's pomegranates, carves out the brown spots from his apples, eats the ugly, discolored fruit. Eddie wants to propose, spirals, and crashes a car about it.

Who knew a Buddie fic would have me crying over fruit

[mybuddieficrecs]

didn’t choose this town | T | 9k | ann_banann

Or, Buck has to go home to take care of his injured mother. While there, he confronts his complicated feelings about his parents, his place in his birth family, and the importance of found family.

I think this fic has landed near the top of the list of my favorite fics where Buck is introspective about his parents

[mybuddieficrecs]

in every life, through every door | M | 4k | shortndiaz

Eddie kisses Buck, freaks out and ignores him for almost a week, Buck spirals. 

They’re so normal about each other

[mybuddieficrecs]

i got a feeling (you and me, me and you) | G | 1k | @archerincombat

“Come on, bud,” Buck continues, backing into a corner and shielding himself from the onslaught. “I thought we were a team.” “You’re my dad now,” Christopher says simply. “You can’t be on my team. You’re on dad’s team.” And the look on Buck’s face, it’s so — there’s a — he’s speechless and turning to look at Eddie like he’s just been handed the world in a neat, little chocolate tin and Eddie’s…

Save this for when you need a little pick-me-up, it will do the trick trust me

where i walk alone | T | 19k | kermytheefrog (tardigradeschool)

Everyone knows that when you touch someone who's going to be important to you for the first time, you'll leave a mark on them. It's not just romantic love; parents and children, siblings, close friends all share marks too. At least, they do in theory. Maddie's the only person who's ever touched Buck and left anything behind. . It’s funny, growing up knowing your parents don’t care about you. The kind of funny that would get Evan uninvited from sleepovers, which is why he always changes into his pajamas in the bathroom. The kind of funny that he’s not allowed to ask his parents about. The kind of funny that makes Maddie look at him so sadly sometimes, when she doesn’t realize he can see her out of the corners of his eyes.

As per usual with most fics featuring the Buckley parents, this fic had me wanting to take Margaret and Phillip out back and beat the shit out of them

(i’ve been) dying to love | T | 12k | EiraLloyd

Or, college professor Eddie Diaz is dragged to a concert by fellow professor Julie Rosen. He's dragged backstage too, after the show, and that's where he meets frontman Evan "Buck" Buckley.

I saw the original rockstar!Buck x professor!Eddie art that @lumidrawss made ages and ages ago and absolutely fell in love with the premise, and I’m so excited that there is now an incredible fic for it as well
