It starts out with Maddie pressing her lips to Buck's forehead, checking his fever. It's not like their mother ever gave a shit if he was sick, so it was just another thing that fell onto Maddie's plate. She didn't mind, Buck was so sweet when he was sick— so soft spoken with his raspy little voice and leaning into her touch like she was medicine.
So what if Buck tips his head up and presses his lips against hers as she pulls back? That small act could be blamed on his fever and Maddie would never say a word. It was her job to take care of her little brother— a job she took very seriously, she couldn't put all her trust in a thermometer.

Propaganda under the cut:
Buck/Maddie:
The first time we see Maddie, Buck is inadvertently trying to get into the shower with her, which in my opinion really sets the tone. They're siblings who grew up with emotionally neglectful parents, extremely entwined and dependent on each other until Maddie leaves home for an abusive marriage. Unaware of the abuse but knowing they're both miserable in their current lives, Buck asks Maddie to run away with him. She agrees to go with him, until her husband finds out and assaults her. Still unaware and feeling betrayed by her change of heart, Buck nevertheless writes to her after he leaves on his own. He keeps up the correspondence for three years even though she never writes back. And when Maddie finally makes the decision to leave, explicitly because her brother never gave up on her, the first thing she does is show up on his doorstep. (Or, to be more specific, in his shower). Some have described their relationship as "wholesome" and "heart warming" but personally I think the sweeping romance of this backstory gives them a pass to get a little freaky with each other.
Maddie and Buck grow up close, thier parents completely closed off from them but especially from Buck. Buck finds out later in life that they had a brother Daniel who he was made to be a savior child for. It didn't work and Daniel died and the Buckley parents pretended he didn't exist, forcing Maddie to do the same. Maddie and Buck mention several times that it was them vs the world and that the Buckley parents weren't bad people just bad parents. Maddie especially is parentified and spent most of thier childhood raising Buck. Buck is the only Buckley who goes to Maddie wedding to her eventual husband who is abusive. When we meet Maddie in the series she's on the run from Doug. Doug does actually end up kidnapping Maddie and its Buck who goes after her and rescues her.
Maddie stayed with her abusive husband to save Buck from his wrath, and even though Buck didn't know that, he sent her postcards documenting his journey. And when Maddie ran out on her partner and child, Buck kept her secret.
3 separate flirty moments (shower introduction, cockring innuendo and bisexual coming out), clutching at each other covered in blood, secret pinky promises, and over 7 seasons they show over and over that they know one another best out of everyone.
Jonas/Martha:
what if we were relatives thanks to a time paradox, and also loved each other so much we tried to destroy the timeline. and also died for/because of each other
They are So Much in every way. They love each other so much but they are so tragic. Jonas was willing to erase himself from existence if it meant Martha could be happy again (he did not succeed, but still). They’re able to recognize older versions of each other who have time-traveled back. Jonas literally BREAKS TIME AND SPACE to get back to Martha’s time and save her life. Meanwhile, in another timeline, a Martha who never knew Jonas still sleeps with him within a week of their meeting. The baby they have is called The Origin (real name on the birth certificate), and he’s literally described as the most important baby in the universe. Martha CAUSES THE APOCALYPSE so she and Jonas can have this baby. They have an in-world cult dedicated to the two of them being together. They kill each other in one timeline. And at the end of it all, when they’ve become mortal enemies and lived through their own separate time loops, they just hold hands so they can die old and grey together.
I would like everyone to know that they LITERALLY call themselves Adam and Eve and they have a giant cathedral dedicated to them with Adam and Eve paintings on the walls. and their descendants AND ancestors literally come to worship them there bc they believe they will bring paradise on earth. Beginning and end, alpha and omega, two sides of the infinity sign come together. and for the incest Martha is Jonas’ aunt
“You and I are perfect together. Never forget that.” Jonas would never guess that his teenage crush would turn out to be his aunt. Or that their love and inability to let go of one another would cause them both to lose everyone they’ve ever loved, trap them in a time loop unable to change any of the tragedy that befalls them and their child, and trigger the literal apocalypse. But, hey, life is unpredictable.
When Maddie was struggling with Doug, she used to go find Buck. She would confide in him about all that was going on, and Buck, helpless as he was to change things, would just listen and try to offer her comfort with the thing he knew best— sex.
He lost track of the number of times that they would end up in bed together, with him tracing over her bruises and never failing to remind her how amazing and beautiful he thought she was while his cock was buried in her tight, wet cunt.
Then, Maddie got away from Doug, found Chim and felt better about herself. She didn't need Buck or his particular brand of self-care anymore. Buck tried his best not to need her either, and it worked for a while, until Tommy dumped him. He could feel himself starting to spiral about how unlovable he was, so what could he do but go to the only person who's always loved him?
He can't keep still, shifting from foot to foot as he stands in front of Maddie's house and works up the nerve to knock on the door. As luck would have it, Maddie opens her front door to grab the mail just as Buck lifts his fist to knock on the door.
They both scream, Maddie clutching her mail to her chest as if Buck was there to steal it off her porch. "Buck... what are you doing here?" she asks once the initial shock wears off. "And why are you just standing at the door?"
"I'm not, I wasn't," Buck frowns, defensive. "Just... are you home alone?"
"Yeah, it's just me," She smiles, then it drops, "everything okay?"
"I need you," Buck looks back at her, his eyes half scared and half hopeful that she'll understand and not make him say it out loud.
"Okay, well, come on in, I'll make some coffee and we can talk," She smiles and turns about to step back into her house when Buck reaches out and grabs her arm. Her first instinct is to yank her arm away, but she forces herself to stay, just turning back to look at her brother. There's a pause and then a hint of recognition in her eyes. Buck watches her throat as she swallows. "Okay, come in," She repeats, softer this time.
Once the door is closed behind them, Buck loses all resolve. He pulls her in, pressing their bodies impossibly close and pushing his lips against hers with a soft breath. He moves his hand up to her cheek as he pushes his tongue into her mouth. She tastes more grown-up than he remembers, but he'd never be able to describe what he meant if someone asked him.
Maddie lets him taste every inch of her mouth before she pulls away, breathless and tingling. "Bedroom?"
It was so reminiscent of earlier times, when they would wait until their parents were out somewhere, and one of them would turn to the other with just one word. Bedroom. Same as before, the two would push and pull, all hands and teeth. Licking, biting and panting until they reached Maddie's bedroom, Buck kicking the door shut.
He gently guides her back toward the bed, but doesn't push her down on it. Instead, he grips the bottom of her shirt and pulls it up over her head.
Maddie does the work of removing her bra while Buck pulls his own shirt off, muscles flexing as he grabs from behind. He lets it fall to her floor, more focused on getting his hands on her tits, feeling and groping roughly with a soft groan. "Bigger than when we were younger," He states, a compliment, judging by the awe in his voice.
"Yeah, well, I had a baby. They do that," Maddie answers with a soft smile. Then, she takes a minute to look her brother over. He's also much bigger than the last time they did this, broader with more muscles. "So are you," She breathes.
"Yeah, well, I've been lifting weights, they do that," He grins, parrotting her words, hoping that it doesn't break the mood. It must not, because Maddie's mouth is back on his in an instant.
The rest of their clothes end up in a mixed pile on the floor, and while Buck is digging through Maddie's bedside table for a condom, she busies herself with running her hands over his bare body and then her own while she watches him roll the condom on his hard, leaking cock.
"Try not to let me ruin you for Chim, hm?" Buck smirks.
"Shut up," Maddie chuckles, her breathless laugh turning into a moan when Buck pushes into her.
“Evan—” she whispered it. Breath hitching slightly as he continued to caress her stomach — desperate to be allowed more — to take what he’d been craving for years.
“Evan — we can’t,” token protests — Maddie stuttering through her words. He could feel her responding to his touch. Arching into it. Her hips starting to rock back against his own.
Buck and Maddie falling into old habits after Bobby dies and Chim becomes captain because they’re both dealing with grief and they’re both lonely, and they find comfort in each other, even though they promised when they met back up in LA that they’d stop sleeping together.
Searched every version of the buck/maddie tag on tumblr and it was still mostly just me and @pucksandpilots . Kind of sad. I need more time in a day to devote to creating basic ass things for them. Like scene compilations, best quotes, etc. It is stark.
Buck dreams about his older sister. It's not new, he's done it since they were little. Then, she moved out and Buck's dreams turned from wholesome tales of them saving each other to him fucking her. He wakes up every time with a throbbing cock and a dizzy head, but not even his guilt was enough to keep him from touching himself.
