or: Eddie wants Buck so bad it makes him look stupid. This is a problem for everyone involved, except maybe for Buck.

Oblivious Buck strikes again… or does he

(aka Evan ‘Buck’ Buckley loves being a little shit)

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

Quickstep, Near Miss | T | 20k | @cal-daisies-and-briars

When Eddie keeps running into his childhood ballroom dancing rival and self proclaimed nemesis, the 118 gets a different perspective on Eddie's past. And when that rival and nemesis takes a liking to Buck? Eddie goes nuclear.

This is Eddie’s basketball-ankle-breaking moment, and boy did he rise to the occasion

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

paving hell with energy | E | 52k | Elgney

Buck is having a hard time dealing with Eddie's impending move to El Paso and resorts to some Buck 1.0-style coping mechanisms. Unfortunately for everybody, this backfires in spectacular fashion. Especially for Eddie, who waited until now to realize he was in love with his best friend. OR: Buck and Maddie get kidnapped. Eddie spirals.

I really really enjoyed this reimagining of the season 8 kidnapping arc! Also!! Read the sequel: You tried to run (I tried to tie your shoes)

From the Mouth of Babes | T | 17k | ItCanBePalped

Chris may be home in LA again, but he's not at an age where he's chomping at the bit to spend time with his dad. His social life is thriving and lively in a way Eddie's wasn't at that age-- or even at the age he is now. Eddie's social calendar is wide open and he's a bit lonely with Buck off apartment hunting, so when Chim and Maddie need help watching Jee Yun he practically trips over himself to volunteer. She's a dream to babysit-- easygoing, sweet, obsessed with tea parties. Observant. Jee Yun's his connection to Buck, she sees him more than Eddie has been lately. Maybe it's sad that he's getting his information from a four year old, but he's getting desperate.

Eddie and Jee-Yun!!!! One of my favorite friendships <3 also Karen makes an appearance, and really it doesn’t get better than that

House Rules | T | 26k | @runawaymarbles

In 2022, Hen and Karen made a bet. By 2024, that bet had gotten somewhat out of control. Now it’s 2025, Bobby is dead, Buck is apartment hunting, and Eddie finds a list of names and dates in Hen’s locker. Oh, and there's a backup on the 10. Again. - Or: betting on when your friends will realize they're in love is a lot less funny when one of them already knows.

I absolutely love the use of LA traffic in this fic and this take on a Buddie-bet fic!! (y'all know how much i love the angst)

Or, Buck's new relationship is moving too fast and Eddie's not sure how to stop it.

It is well documented that I love a rizcriz fic and this one is no different, and I especially love how dumb and in love Eddie is in this one
