Uhmm oops, time went by quickly and it is already mid July 😳 making these posts are fun but exhausting so I kinda kept procrastinating hehe. But here are all the 911 fics I bookmarked in June (2025)
I haven't read a lot in June 'cause the s8 still got me in some sort of slump, but I've still got quite a few bookmarks

Fake dating, sharing clothes, sharing a bed, Buck being Christopher's parent
He and Chris, and Buck. They work, they’re a unit. Why should it matter that he’s single?
Buck is watching him, like he’s reading every thought on his face.
“You’re already planning to lie about the date. Why don’t you just tell her you met someone yourself?”
Eddie shrugs and tilts his head to the side, squinting in thought. “She won’t set me up on dates if she thinks I’ve got someone,” he muses. “But she’ll want to meet whoever it is.”
Or: Buck offers to fake-date Eddie so Pepa will stop setting him up on dates.
Do I Get To Have This? by EiraLloyd

6x13, morning after, getting together, unreliable narrator, soft Eddie, insecure Buck
Their missing clothes and the fact that Eddie was currently using him as a human pillow were the only evidence that Buck's memories of the night before were real.
Wildly, his first thought after replaying everything in his head was, This is not good one-night stand etiquette. I should’ve left already.
Absurdly, it filled him with hope that maybe this wouldn’t be a one-night stand. Maybe—
“You’re thinking too loud,” Eddie mumbled, breath ghosting over Buck’s collarbone in a way that reminded him a lot of dim lights and couches and I’ve wanted to do this all night.
(Alternatively, Buck and Eddie hook up after the poker game in 6x13, and Buck has a hard time believing it when he wakes up the next morning.)

He squeezes Buck’s bare, sun warmed skin before he drops the contact, and strolls over to where Chim and Tommy are waiting.
If he stands a little too close to his teammate, well. He’ll never admit it.
Buck comes back into his line of vision, already back to looking like he’s a second away from stomping off the court.

Scenting, getting together, mutual pining, idiots in love, first kiss, oblivious Buck, soft Buddie, cuddling, werewolves, light angst, sharing clothes, domestic fluff
It wasn’t until a few days later when Eddie was doing laundry that he came across Buck’s discarded clothes. He must’ve tossed them in the hamper after his shower, Eddie holding the warn and stained clothing up in his hands.
Eddie toyed with the fabric, clutching it a little in his hands. Buck’s clothes were in his laundry, mixed with his and Chris’, like they belonged, like Buck was a part of their family.
Against his better judgement, Eddie brought the clothes up to his face, closing his eyes as he inhaled. While they smelled awful, reeking of soot, sweat, and blood, they also smelled like Buck, like home and safety. Eddie couldn’t get enough.
Five times Buck leaves his clothes at Eddie's, and the one time they're right where they belong

“What?” Buck asks again, his own brow furrowing now.
“Your gear,” Eddie says, nodding at him. “That’s my turnout coat.”
“No it’s not,” Buck says with confidence, yet still tries to look over his shoulder at the name on the back. He ends up spinning in a circle, like a dog trying to catch his own tail.
“Unless you changed your name to Evan Diaz recently,” Chimney teases. “I’m afraid it’s Eddie’s.”
Eddie’s heart feels like it’s going to beat right out of his chest, breaking through his ribcage at the words Evan Diaz.

Not actually unrequited love, pining Eddie, oblivious Buck, drunk Eddie, Bobby lives, mentioned past relationships, making out, miscommunication
Buck was there, back to Eddie, mixing something with such force that batter was coming up over the side of the bowl. Eddie smiled a bit at the sight and opened his mouth to greet him properly, holding the flowers close to his chest- to his heart.
“I am never dating another firefighter or first responder ever again,” Buck announced loudly, not looking up or turning to face the door.
Without another thought, Eddie stepped back onto the door step, gathered every ounce of strength and muscle memory from his baseball days, and chucked the flowers as far as he could on the other side of the house. He heard a dull thump and prayed to god that he would never see those stupid yellow things again. He stepped back into the house quickly and shut the door.
“Oh? What happened?” he asked, forcing his voice into the perfect form of casual interest.
Just as Eddie plucks up the courage to ask Buck out, Buck announces a new rule of not dating any first responders.
After a quick spiral, Eddie decides to prove that he's worth breaking the rules for.

“Okay,” Eddie says. He’s amazed at how steady his voice sounds, even as he flings them both over the edge of the cliff. “You’ve proven you can hold me up for—thirty seconds. That doesn’t mean you could fuck me like this.”

Jealous Buck, crack treated seriously, getting together, good friend Ravi, first kiss
“I’m just saying. So what if Ravi thinks Eddie is cool? Why does it bother you so much?”
“Because-” Buck starts vehemently and then promptly can’t finish his answer. He stalls, trying to come up with a normal response until Maddie lets out an amused huff.
“Because you’re the only one allowed to think he’s cool?” she asks dryly.
He rolls his eyes again. “No, I’m not five.”
Maddie mutters something that sounds distinctly like, ‘Could’ve fooled me,’ before Chimney comes into the kitchen and interrupts them.
“What are we talking about?”
“Buck is mad because Ravi finally agrees with him about how great Eddie is.”
In which Ravi finally agrees with Buck that Eddie is the coolest person alive and the trials and tribulations of Evan Buckley gets a 98th act.

Friends to lovers, gay disaster Eddie, idiots to lovers, first kiss, first time
Which brings Eddie to his current predicament: drowning in love and unable to do a thing about it, all while being subjected to his criminally attractive best friend sauntering around sans a shirt at every hour of the goddamn day.
Morning toothbrushing? Shirtless. After school video games? Shirtless. Reading on the couch? Shirtless. Weeding the garden in LA summer sunshine? Shirtless and sweaty. Asleep half a foot of bedspace away from Eddie? There aren’t even pants involved. Existing day-to-day seems to have become a topless event where Buck is concerned, because Eddie has apparently racked up enough overdue penance for several lifetimes.
or, eddie loves living with his best friend. he just really wishes buck would put on a fucking shirt

Angst with a happy ending, fluff, emotional hurt/comfort, homeless Buck, soft Buddie, worried Eddie, protective Eddie, getting together, mental health issues, first kiss, Eddie takes care of Buck
“Why are you acting like this isn’t a big deal?” His voice was raised, but he wasn’t yelling. “Buck, you have been living out of a storage unit for weeks! You’re in pain, you’re hungry, and you’re— You’re homeless. You have no home."
Eddie had such a way with words. You have no home. Very nice of him.
“What do you want me to do, Eddie?” He put the measuring cup down with enough force that it bounced to the floor. “Breakdown and cry? Get on my knees and beg someone for a loan? I took what I could.”
“No, you didn’t.” Eddie’s cursed index finger came up, pointing right at Buck’s chest. “Because you didn’t tell anyone! We would’ve helped you. I would’ve helped you.”
“I don’t want anyone’s help,” Buck pressed. “I got myself into this situation, and I can get myself out. I always do.”
Eddie held both his hands up, but they dropped as something dawned on him. Misery flooded his features. “You took over my lease.”
The last thing Buck wanted to do was make Eddie feel guilty. His decisions put him where he was— Nobody else’s. Still, his head fell. “Yeah, Eddie. I did.”
Or the one where Buck has no choice but to move into a storage unit, and Eddie finds out.

Eddie inhales sharply, and suddenly his face is right there in front of Buck’s. Buck couldn’t have kept his eyes off Eddie’s lips if he’d put all the willpower in the world into resisting his magnetic pull. “He couldn’t handle it, yeah? Didn’t know how to take care of you?”
When a surprise Buck has in store for Tommy doesn’t turn out the way it should, Buck goes straight to the one person he knows would never disappoint him. Eddie decides to show him how much he appreciates it.

Eddie's an affectionate guy, is the thing. But he's not usually like this, at least not in the middle of a crowded bar where other people can see them.
Buck doesn't think anything of it, at first.

"Hen is right; maybe our short-cut isn't as fool-proof as we first thought," Eddie said. "All that needs to happen for it to fall apart is for us to run into a homophobic nurse who'll demand proof before letting us in. And when we can't provide any proof--"
"--we might get banned from visiting altogether!" Buck finished. "No!"
"Yes," Eddie said. "But... legal paperwork? We could do that."
"Like... do what? Go to a lawyer?"
"No, Buck. I'm saying that if - in the future - we might need a marriage certificate to back up our claim, we should just--" He shrugged. "--get one."

8x13, slow dancing, first kiss, getting together
Buck’s got his back turned to Eddie. He’s gently swaying back and forth to whatever is playing through the speaker now as he gathers up the trash. Eddie vaguely recognizes the song, something slow and acoustic.
Without thinking too much about it, Eddie walks over to him and holds out his hand. When Buck turns to look at him curiously, all he says is, “Dance with me.”

Post 8x18, getting together, first time, confessions, pining
Eddie doesn’t mean to keep setting out two coffee mugs in the morning. It’s just habit — like glancing out the window for Buck’s Jeep, or cooking too much without thinking, or leaving Buck’s favourite throw blanket folded neatly on the couch, even though it’s been weeks since he last used it.
They say it takes sixty-six days to break a habit.
Or, Buck moves out, Eddie spirals, and a coffee mug becomes his final straw.

“You’ve been tossing and turning for hours, Buck.”
“You said it yourself– about the couch being uncomfortable, I mean.” Buck lets out a deep sigh and drags the discarded blanket and the pillow back up on the couch. “Sorry about waking you up. I’ll just count sheep or something.”
Eddie bites the inside of his cheek before taking a small breath in. Here goes nothing, he supposes.
“Or– or we could, I don’t know, share…”
Buck’s gaze snaps up to him so quickly that Eddie feels completely bare in front of him.
(or: Buck and Eddie are stupid. and in love. and share a bed. that's it.)

Marriage of convenience, crack, Bobby lives, jealous Eddie
"Run that by me one more time?"
“Buck and I got married yesterday,” Eddie repeated, as calm as he’d been the first three times he’d said it. “So we’re officially disclosing our relationship to the LAFD.”
Bobby ran an exhausted hand across his eyes. “Yeah, that’s what I thought you said.”
Eddie learns what Tommy said to Buck after their hookup and reacts like any normal best friend would.

Angst with a happy ending, feelings realization, first kiss, first time, jealous Eddie, jealous Buck, getting together
“When was this?” Eddie asks, taking a sip of his drink and looking up from it.
“A couple of days after I moved into your place.” Buck shrugs, like he can’t quite remember.
He hates how casual Buck sounds. Like it was just nothing. Like it was completely normal that Buck didn’t tell him.
“You do that often?” Eddie keeps his tone deliberately neutral. “Hook up with people in my house?”
After Ravi lets it slip that Buck hooked up with Tommy while Eddie was in Texas, Eddie does everything in his power to get Buck's attention back on him.

Mutual pining, living together, crack treated seriously, seduction, Eddie wears crop tops, Eddie's mustache, cowboy hats, first kiss, first time
Buck has self-control. He hasn’t always used it, but he likes to think he’s gotten a lot better at it, throughout the years.
Evidence: He’s clenching his jaw to the point of pain and very pointedly looking at the TV, like the local weatherman spouting off about a heat wave is capable of holding this much of his attention. If this were—before, they would not be watching the news.
...or, Eddie could just use his words, but where’s the fun in that?
The Great Wall Debacle (Or What Buck Calls Flirting) by Pyllif
Rated E | 13K | Buddie | 2025
Crack treated seriously, fluff, team as family, freak4freak Buddie, idiots in love, pining Buck, Buck & Ravi friendship, near death experience, love confessions, sexual tension
His body, still spiked with adrenaline from almost getting crushed, took a while before it eventually caught up with his surroundings. There was someone yelling over the radio, someone panting in his ear.
Eddie's head rested against the wall behind them, one hand firmly grasping at Bucks' turnout from where he had gripped it to push them both back. The other hand was clutched at Bucks hip, gripping strong enough that it would have left a mark if they were wearing less clothes.
And wasn't that a thought?
Probably not something you should be thinking about when your best friend had just saved you from a nasty trip to the hospital.
After Eddie saves Buck from getting crushed to death by slamming him against a wall, Buck becomes obsessed with the thought of Eddie's body pressed against his own. He then decides to do the most normal thing about it, which is throwing himself into danger in hopes that it will inspire Eddie to push him against a wall again.
Basically just 13k of Buck pining like an idiot and his flirting attempts becoming more and more drastic by the hour.

AU, different first meeting, Buck is not a firefighter, zookeeper Buck, gay Eddie, penguins, crushes, first dates, first kiss, getting together, fluff
Buck had thought he'd figured out what he was supposed to do with his life thanks to a sudden, crazy dream inspired by a movie and an invitation from some strangers in a bar, but a car accident that results in a serious injury destroys a chance of becoming a firefighter. But thanks to a friendly face, and a place of comfort, Buck finds a new goal of becoming a zookeeper at L.A. Zoo.
Three years later, and he couldn't be happier. He loves his job, he loves the joy the animals bring, and he loves presenting the Penguin Show. He especially loves trying to spot the regular his friends and colleagues call Hot, Single Dad and his son.
When the son enters a competition to win an afternoon with the penguins, Buck might just have the chance to take this from crush on a stranger to something more.
I'll try to tag the authors later, first: sleep
