Top 10 Buck x Tommy fics I’ve read (Sept-Oct 2025)
Fallen Regret by Marchling [M]
“We have a house collapse on the cliffs. IC is Captain Bardhi of the 436. It was a joint assignment and he’s been leading this entire time. Eleven firefighters were in the house when it collapsed, eight are still inside. Only one is responding at this time.” Preston said before he stopped. Went silent.
The team traded looks.
Then his captain’s eyes hit Tommy and he knew. Everything in him knew.
His heart started pounding.
No, please…
“Kinard, the other team that joined the 436 was the 118.” Preston said, voice so quiet and careful. Respectful.
Respectful because he knew he was going to break Tommy’s heart.
“The entire 118 A-shift are among the missing.”

A post-breakup rescue story that features Tommy pushing himself to the limit for the love he chose to walk way from, the 118 in desperate need of a rescue, Christopher in Texas watching it all unfold wishing he could set things right with his father, forgiveness, love and the hope of trying again.
House Hunting by iwroteafictoday [G]
Buck started looking for a new place. But none of them felt right. They were all missing something. He just had to figure out what that something was. Or maybe… who that was.
In a Yellow Wood by Cecily_v, liminalmemories [M]
It’s been three years since the break-up when Tommy saves a family and it upends his life.
He’s paying more attention to explaining what the various levers and controls do than he is to what’s going on in the hangar and his head whips around when he hears a familiar voice saying. “Kam, the whole point of leaving my kid with you was to not take him to work.”
the luckiest by kirkaut [T]
Evan’s been increasingly…distant isn’t the right word. Distracted, maybe. Tense, definitely. Tommy would be lying if he said he hasn’t been waiting for the pressure to pop his cork.
He just wasn’t expecting for it to happen over the fucking mail.
Retain that dear perfection by Cecily_v, liminalmemories [G]
After an injury, Buck loses five years, give or take a couple of months -- and now Tommy's husband looks at him like he's a stranger.
Things Just Won't Do Without You by Harmlessvarietyofgardensnake [E]
He pulls Evan against him and hugs him, and Evan sinks against him, burying his face in Tommy's shoulder. He's not sobbing, but Tommy can feel moisture leak through his shirt.
“He'd appreciate the effort,” Tommy says softly, and Evan's shoulders hitch as he lets out a quick, quiet little laugh. “But he wouldn't want you to torture yourself.”
“I don't know what else to do.”
Tommy hugs him tighter, and Evan's arms squeeze him with equal strength. “This, to start.”

Tommy runs into his ex at another bar. Only this time, they talk and Tommy shows off his kittens (this is not a euphemism).
Through Their Eyes by lunardeath [T]
Little moments between the 118 and Tommy throughout his relationship with Buck
try not to think about you but it ain't working by perfectlysunny [E]
Tommy knows this is a mistake, a bad idea. Evan isn’t his anymore; he made sure of that. He doesn’t get to do this anymore, and he shouldn’t do this anymore.
But hearing Evan’s mouth hitch in the cramped air of the backseat of his truck as Tommy runs his mouth over his weeping dick after picking him up from one of the worst bars in LA, he finds it hard not to justify what they’re doing. He doesn’t want to pull away, he’ll deal with the consequences later.
Ugh. Gays. by words_reign_here [M]
Buck should have known better when he got up that morning. It had been raining for two days now and nothing good happened when it came to water and the 118. Especially when one of their own is caught in the middle of all this rain.
you still love me anyway by epiphainie (wingsoflame) [M]
But that was just him. Evan.
He was too much, too smart, too impulsive, too earnest, and he was prickly, petty, bratty, unruly, redefining the phrase of high maintenance.
He was Tommy’s favorite person.
aka five times buck was being too much and one time tommy told him so
