drink the river dry

Rating: Explicit

After Eddie gets shot, Buck comes to stay with the Diaz's to help out. It's not until they're discussing the discharge paperwork and medical regimen that it really sinks in exactly what that means.

You Told Them I'm Straight (But What if You're Wrong?)

Rating: Teen audiences and up

A coda of 8x11 where Buck calls up Eddie after the conversation with Maddie. Perhaps Eddie isn't as straight as he thought.

Includes some gay maths about checking out hot guys asses.

Ripples all the way down

The one in which penguins and Christopher Diaz lead to Buddie.

A super sweet fic that is a great romantic comedy, with Christopher playing a key role in it all.

Things We're All Too Young to Know

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/46775788

This is an incredibly long fic that is well worth the read - Cal did it again! This is canon compliant for around 60% of the fic (up until 6x18) and then continues into one of the best conclusions for 9-1-1 I could think of.

I seriously couldn't recommend this fic enough.

do you have any buck nash/bobby adopts buck fic recs? side of buddie preferred of course 👀👀

Hi Anon!

I don't have tonne of recommendations within this category unfortunately - most of the ones I've read are pseudo adoption rather than Buck Nash fics. However:

There's magic between you and me by scarmaddiewrites (Explicit, 23.9k)

An omegaverse fic where Buck is adopted by Bobby at 10. Beware - contains mpreg. Top!Eddie, Bottom!Buck.

if it weren't for second chances by alasse (Teen audiences and up, 47.8k)

Buck has been in and out foster homes since a young child. He meets Bobby at 17 and together they save themselves.

the mortifying ordeal of being known (part of a series) by Polish_Amber (General Audiences, 60.8k)

Evan Nash is Bobby's son, and Buck is Eddie's boyfriend from the fire academy. Miscommunication is abundant, but the fic is mostly light-hearted and fluffy.

rebellious teens and firefighter dads (part of a series) by smilingbuckley (General Audience, 2k)

A meet-cute for Bathena including Evan getting arrested. Super sweet and sugary.

Honorable mentions

There are a couple of fics where they're pseudo parent-son but the level of Bobby being Buck's parent is high enough and I like the fics enough for them to be worth a mention!

when i found you (my heart found a home) by placetoputmythoughts (General Audiences, 36.7k)

Buck and Bobby meet before Buck becomes a firefighter. Everything Buck knows about being a dad comes from him.

Winter Prayer (part of a series) by Daisies_and_Briars (General Audiences, 18.2k)

Buck and May accompany Bobby on a road trip to Minnesota for the 10 year anniversary of his family's death.

Saddle Up

Rating: Teen Audiences and Up

Eddie's new house in El Paso is haunted. Haunted by ghost Wyatt Manning, who pretty quickly realises that there must be something going on between Buck and Eddie.
