crashing, i'm crashing right into you by himbobuckley (tals11) for Jujubee326
Fandoms: 9-1-1 (TV)

Summary
Buck gets an unfortunate call while driving and spirals before getting hit by a drunk driver. Surprise, coma!buck is real and can hear the things people (Eddie and Maddie) say while he's unconscious. Follows the struggles Buck deals with while trying to come back and the ones he has to face if he does.
6.07 spec, so the sperm donor issue is a Thing.
or:
There’s silence for a few moments as Buck struggles to no avail. Then, “Chris misses you.” A face flashes in Buck’s mind. Curly hair, like his. Blue eyes, just a few shades off from his own. Glasses. Big, goofy grin. For a beat, he thinks he’s seeing the child he could have had. Then- no, the name sinks in and no, this isn’t his kid. It’s just the one he wishes was his. “He’s been asking about you, if he can see you. I- I keep telling him no. You- you wouldn’t want him to see you like this, when you can’t respond. I know that. But.. it’s hard Buck,” he admits, his voice breaking, “it’s so hard. I don’t want the next time he sees you to be… to be at a funeral. I really, really need you to come back.”
It’s more painful than the crash itself when Buck realizes he can’t do what the voice is asking.

Summary
“Hi, Buck,” Chris grins, his eyes sparkling mischievously behind his black framed glasses.
Buck just stares at him, still not saying anything. He can’t remember when he last took a breath but oxygen was the least on his priority list when Eddie and Chris are here right now.
“Hi, Buck,” Eddie echoes the greeting pulling Buck’s stare on himself. A soft smile and something so, so gentle lights up his eyes.
“I think we broke him, dad,” Chris snickers, nudging Eddie with his elbow who just hums in agreement.
“I – uhm, I didn’t uhm – w-what are you guys doing here?” He stammers, his eyes still wide with disbelief as he takes a much needed breath.
“Heard you were in desperate need of some Christmas decorations.” Eddie crosses his arms as he raises his eyebrow, the look in his eyes far too knowing for Buck’s liking. Man, Buck has forgotten how well Eddie can read him when he’s not just three pixels on a facetime call.
Or, Eddie and Chris surprise Buck for Christmas and give him everything he's ever wanted in the span of seven days.

Summary
Once everyone heads off to the bunks after dinner, Buck wastes no time in dragging one of the stools from the kitchen over to the Tetris cabinet, where he, too, settles in as if he were getting into bed.
The cabinet is new but the interface is a replica of the original, and when he boots the monitor up, Buck is faced with pixelated fireworks and a cartoon version of Saint Basil’s Cathedral. He nudges the red joystick and the main menu pops up. The left side of the screen reads YOUR GOAL IS TO FILL LINES!
Buck cracks his knuckles.
or, Buck plays Tetris. And a lot of it.

Summary
He doesn’t want to go. There’s so much here for him—so much to fight for, but he’s been fighting for so long, and there’s only so much he can do when he’s pinned and bleeding steadily. There’s not much to fight anymore except God, and God’s seemingly made a choice.
And, just as Buck was finally starting to understand, too.
Sniffing, he asks, voice cracking, “Eddie?”
He’s scared. There’ve been so many close calls, but not quite as close as this, and he’s terrified, but there’s too much to say. Too much on the line. He can’t let the fear keep him quiet anymore. He’s wasted so much time on being afraid, and now he’s run out, and he just—
He needs Eddie to know.

or, Buck's dying.

Summary
He doesn’t pay them much mind, though, his attention focused intently on Eddie—there’s an unreadable expression on his face. That doesn’t happen often. Buck’s spent years learning the language of Eddie Diaz, becoming fluent in every single look and expression Eddie could throw at him.
He doesn’t know this one.
“You like tulips?” Buck asks.
Eddie almost jumps out of his skin, startled—apparently so deep in thought he’d forgotten Buck was next to him. “Sure. Uh—They’re nice.”
Eddie’s cheeks flush a soft pink, his hands tightening on the handles of the reusable fabric bags as he shrugs a shoulder, attempting to take another step to continue on their travels through the market.
Buck ignores the instinct telling him to let it go, like he often does.

Summary
When a tentative bond between Buck and Abby—one Buck hadn't even known about—starts rotting, with Abby abandoning him and going on her Eat, Pray, Love trip, Buck is left sinking rapidly into an Omega Drop—one that is bound to kill him this time around. Surrounded by friends, halfway into a 24-hour shift, Buck drops without anyone realizing it but Eddie, who springs into action.
When the only thing that can save Buck from dying from a drop is a rescue bite—tying him and Buck together and severing the tentative bond between Buck and Abby—Eddie is faced with a tough choice: to bite, or to not bite?
Eddie bites.

Summary
Buck asks, "Where is your dad?"
"He's downstairs buying sodas," Christopher replies. He sits down next to Buck and points at the magazine. "Why are you reading Bridal Guide?"
"Oh." Buck flushes a little. It's not like he can explain: I realized I'm in love with your dad and keep accidentally planning a wedding we're never going to have. "It was this or Golf Digest."

Summary
It hasn't been Buck's day, his week, his month, or even his year. He's (not) in love with his best friend, and he's putting himself back out there, except the universe seems to be screaming at him that dating is a bad idea...
How long will it take for him to listen?

Summary
Maybe he just needs to meet the right person. That’ll help with the giant best friend-shaped hole in his chest. He clicks the end of his pen and writes:
I’ll meet the love of my life tomorrow.
Or, Buck's journal grants wishes. It's not his fault that the only things he wants are the things he can't have.

Summary
"So," Pepa says without missing a beat, her crow's feet sinking their talons into the delicate skin around her eyes as she smiles beatifically at him. "You love him. What are you going to do about it?"
Eddie's brakes come to a screeching halt again, proverbial smoke coming out of his ears. "I…hadn't got that far."
Right. "I mean, uh, tell him…eventually?" Eddie guesses when Pepa doesn't respond to him and instead stares at him like he's just started speaking Pig Latin.
"Ay," Pepa says in an exasperated little huff. "We used to have romance."
Pepa teaches Eddie how to woo Buck. Buck doesn't quite get the picture.

Summary
Buck’s so relaxed that he’s quiet the entire first episode, not even sharing gross facts about the tapeworms onscreen, but it’s not long before his brain-to-mouth filter decides to betray him. If anyone asks, he’ll blame this illness for what comes out.
“Would you still love me if I was a tapeworm in your brain?”
Buck has never felt more stupid in his life. Today is probably not the best day to make it obvious that he’s in love with Eddie, yet here he is, asking stupid questions.
To Eddie’s credit, he doesn’t even hesitate before answering. “Yeah. I’d let you hang out in my brain."
Or, Buck gets sick, Eddie comes to his rescue, and Buck's so in love.

Summary
Buck runs, and Eddie follows.
-----
It’s been over two months of chasing Buck across the country, from state to state to state, following a trail he suspects Buck doesn’t realize he’s dropping breadcrumbs on. If he did, Eddie worries he’d stop sending the postcards, and they’re his only clues. Buck left his phone in his apartment back in Los Angeles. If he’s gotten a new one, he hasn’t shared the number with anyone—not Maddie, not Chris, and certainly not Eddie.
So Eddie lays in a too-soft bed in a too-small cabin in the middle of bumfuck Nebraska, the first grey light of dawn creeping its fingers past the dusky pink curtains, and reads the postcard again. He knows what it says by heart, but it makes him feel a little less alone to hear Buck’s voice in his head.

Summary
“I didn’t know you were coming over,” Maddie says, holding back a laugh. “Is everything okay?”
“I thought I was pretty clear.” Buck throws himself down on the couch, hugging a throw pillow against his chest. “Everything is in fact not okay. I’m going insane, Maddie.”
“You said that already,” Maddie says as she joins him on the couch. “Is this about Eddie?”
Buck rolls his eyes. “Who else would it be about?”
“That’s… actually a good point,” Maddie concedes, trying to hide her amusement and failing. “What’s he done now?”
Oh, a fantastic question.
“What hasn’t he done?”

Summary
“I’ve been on dates with three guys since Tommy,” he’d said, and he could hear the whining in his voice. “Two of them were shorter than me and the one who was tall enough was not interested!”
“Shorter than you?” Eddie had asked, and now there was something else Buck hadn’t been able to understand. A new glint in Eddie’s eyes that he’d never seen before.
or - buck really likes being manhandled

Summary
Their trek through broken stairwells and crumbling hallways was brutal. The two of them struggled to haul their exhausted bodies through tighter and tighter crevices, but they pushed through the pain, praying to whatever god might be listening that the roof collapse hadn’t completely cut off access to the upper floors. The fact that they could even still call this place a building was the kind of miracle that Eddie desperately needed right now, because every second that he had to spend wondering if Buck was still breathing was a crueler torture than any pain he could ever inflict on his body.
Maybe the priests were right–Hell was real, and it was the agony of losing Evan Buckley.
or: an 8x18 fix-it fic featuring a near death experience, a feelings realization over the 118’s radios, and Buck and Eddie finding joy in the impossible things.

Summary
Buck doesn’t think that if he were to say, “I’m in a bad place”, that anyone would turn him away. Really, he doesn’t. The 118 has too many good, kind people for that.
But every time he wants to open his mouth, to say something, to reach out to Eddie or Bobby or Hen or Chim, he hears Eddie yelling, “you’re exhausting.”
—you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting—
So each day he does his job and he laughs and he jokes and he pretends he’s the care-free goofball he’s always been. And each day he packs away his bruises and his worries, takes them home to his empty loft with its quiet rooms, and licks his wounds in silence.
