Summary
Eddie was hoping to avoid this conversation, and he can’t even really begin to fathom how or when he would bring it up. Hey, nice save back there, he imagines, the resounding clap of his hand landing on Buck’s shoulder, echoing off the tall ceiling of the station. By the way, I can hear you touching yourself at night. I can hear you making yourself come a foot away from me.

ugggnngnghghghhh this was genuinely so fucking hot wow. WOW. the fact that this is (comparatively) early on in their relationship when it happens--eddie hasn't even been shot yet!!!!--and yet they're already so fucking bananabonkerscrazy for each other in a way that felt SO natural, and all that is 100% owed to the perfect characterisation. seriously. the way this had them treading that very thin line of casual bro-helping-bro and the growing desperation towards each other that too in EDDIE'S POV my god!!!!
“He’s…” Eddie starts, a mild wince twitching at his eye socket. “A bit restless,” is all he says to that. “I’m kind of a light sleeper.”
...
...
“We’ll swing by a drug store on the way home and get you some ambien,” Chim jokes, slapping him firmly on the back, and Eddie laughs and seriously considers it before thinking; but what if he does it again?eddie who's fully enjoying this!!! there's not a chance in hell he'll let himself miss out on buck's stifled little whimpers and moans!!!! not if he's got a say in it!!! eddie's internal dialogue was so SO SO good i could probably quote like 600 different lines and dialogues i read that made me go, yeah, eddie would say/think that! AND THEN. AND THENNNNNN. when they're about to go on a hike and buck's literally making Eyes and Mouth at eddie so eddie stays back at the loft so they can get freaky again my god. NOT EVEN BUCK IS SUBTLE ABOUT ANY OF THIS. they fucking kill me man. great partners on the field. great jerk off partners on the bed. eddie being overstimulated is something so special to me. like a seashell i found on the beach that i cradle in the cocoon of my palm.
special mention to buck who sucked cock for the first time and announced, yes, i like sucking cock. mate... i have reason to believe it being eddie's cock played a big role there.

Summary
“Now that is a handsome man.”
The first thing Hen notices about New Recruit Eddie Diaz is that he is in possession of a remarkable set of abdominal muscles. The next thing she notices is the wedding ring.
And Buck is staring at him like a piece of meat.
“Oh, nuh-uh,” she says immediately. “Don’t even think about it, Buckley.”
or, Eddie is new, and married, and Buck won’t stop flirting. 5+1.

so i LOVE reading non-buddie pov fics--i find them quite daunting myself because i always worry about nailing the characterisation, so i have DOUBLE respect anyone who tackles it AND embodies the character so so amazingly. hen's pov for this was, to put it simply, PERFECT. PERFECT!!!! the perfect mix of her perceptive skills, having buck and eddie's best interests at heart, her little shenanigans, and god. the humour. THE HUMOUR. i have to say i found myself cheesing throughout the fic, but i genuinely laughed out loud at the +1 bit. the way it played out? CINEMA.
i love love loved the moments/dialogues exchanged between her and chimney, god they just get each other!! they really are the best of friends!! so many moments where i found myself so endeared by them, like:
“So, Eddie,” she says. “You’ve been here a month, but I feel like we don’t know all that much about you.”
...
...
Chimney, who is Hen’s partner and best friend for a reason, catches onto what she’s doing immediately, and casually kicks his feet up on the coffee table, crossing ankles. “Well, what’s life like for you outside the firehouse? Wife? Kids?”
THEY'RE SO!!!! PERFECTLY NOSY AND MADE FOR EACH OTHER!!! god. i really enjoyed this fic so much, just the perfect lighthearted crack to lift my spirits which is why i know for a FACT i'm gonna come back to this soon

Summary
It’s not ideal, being dead. He can’t bake, he can’t take a shower, he can’t go to work. And he can’t tell Eddie he loves him.
It occurred to him in the too-fast flash of a second it took to fall 48 feet into the fiery subfloor full of rubble, glass, and rebar.
Oh, Eddie.
Not ideal at all.
or: Buck is haunting Eddie's house. That's not the end of the story.

Bookmarker's Notes
oh my god. my god my god my god. at multiple points during this fic i had to press a fist to my mouth and take a minute. woooow. buck's internal dialogue is so beautiful and yet so so gut wrenching. it made me think of this trope we sometimes see in buddie fics, the one where buck tends to get lost in his head, spiralling to the point he feels like an outsider to the diaz boys. he's unsure of his place in their lives--he knows he's loved, but does he belong?--unsure of who he is to chris except for Backup Dad, and now here, in this fic, it's his worst fear come to life: his entire being tethered to the house, and yet he only exists as a spectator to their lives. he spent so long fearing he's just a superficial(?) presence only for him to ultimately become one. god. and yet, after putting me through all this, you still brought this to the softest satisfying end. ughh. thank you <3
special mention to this tidbit because i couldn't help but AWW :( out loud:
“Ask me something only I would know,” Buck says soundlessly, giving the planchette a little shove.
“Okay,” Eddie sits up a little straighter. “Ask him something only he would know, something the two of you didn’t do together.”
My beloved skeptic, Buck thinks.
one of my fav examples on how well they know each other UGHHH. my pookies

Summary
Maddie says, “What's this about a meth lab?”
“Buck has a crackpot theory,” says Eddie, and he can’t keep the fondness out of his voice.
“No, no, okay, listen,” says Buck, grinning at Eddie. “The guy down the street from Eddie is definitely running a meth lab.”
“This is the fourth meth lab he’s uncovered this week,” Eddie interjects. “Since he did that toxic substances training.”

In which Buck and Eddie do a little off-the-books detective work, a science project, and a lot of flirting.

had the time of my life reading this wow!!! the dialogues, the banter, the quick wit between them--it all felt sooo natural i'm in loveee. had so many favourite scenes but i think my favourite part had to be the conversation about digging through the trash while also Not Really Talking About The Trash, it was done so well! also this:
“Next thing you know he’ll be stockpiling fertilizer. No one needs that much fertilizer, Eddie.”
“I don’t know,” says Eddie thoughtfully. “Seems like you’re pretty full of shit.”

Summary
He just doesn’t get it. These men like Lee (like Andrew and Dave and Rory), they make it seem so easy. Taking what they covet, expressing their desire. Like it’s the most simple thing in the world, to touch Eddie, kiss Eddie, slither their way inside Eddie; to make it absolutely clear how bad they want him. And he knows Buck wants him just as bad, maybe worse than anyone else; he can see it, feel it, taste it in the air that surrounds him, in the rapacious looks he levels him. He knows Buck wants him. He’s sure of it. So why can’t he just say it? Why can’t he just take it?
What is he waiting for? For Eddie to no longer be available? For the chance of having him to diminish to less than zero? Because that will simply never happen. Look at him, under some handsome stranger as he lets him take him home, swapping spit, grinding hips, and still he’s thinking of Buck.

i keep coming back to this fic because this is hands down the hottest thing i've ever read. so many times where i just find myself holding my breath from how INTENSE it gets. wow. eddie who gets taken care of and praised and fucked the way he deserves, how absolutely INSANE eddie is to call buck in the middle of this--what was he expecting!!!!--and how buck is even more insane to stay on call!!!! my god. you always leave me speechless with your writing but somehow the combination of these tropes has resulted in actual physical reactions in me. bated breath. heart pounding. thighs clenched. lauren i'm on my knees thanking you for feeding us eddiegirls with this

Summary
He should be glad of it. He doesn’t want people to know he’s struggling, and they don’t. But why doesn’t Buck know? He’s always known, always seen through Eddie’s carefully constructed walls and carved himself a door into them. Even when Eddie resisted, even when he pushed back, Buck ducked his head and shoved through and found the tender hurt Eddie was guarding, cupped his hands around it and held until it didn’t ache so much.
And now Eddie’s bleeding internally, swollen with regret, and Buck doesn’t say a thing. Eddie can’t ask him to. If he opens his mouth, he might just start screaming.
~
There's distance between Eddie and Buck. Eddie isn't falling apart. These are two equally true statements.

The flight from Los Angeles, California to El Paso, Texas is one hour and fifty-five minutes long.
Buck spends one hour and fifteen minutes after he lands in the El Paso International Airport pick-up zone, waiting for his ride. He also racks up one hell of a debt in Uber cancellation fees.
The two are very much connected.

Summary
Buck’s hair is gray at the temples, buzzed neatly on the sides and a bit longer and curlier on top than Chris remembers him wearing it, and there’s a new scar through one of his eyebrows. He looks good, like he’s living a happy life, and the only possible reason Chris can imagine for Buck to be here at Helena Diaz’s funeral in El Paso is that Chris’s father brought him.
“Why would you come?” Chris snaps at him.
Buck blinks. “Why wouldn’t I come?”
“She didn’t mean anything to you.”
“I’m not here for her,” Buck scoffs. “She is dead. I’m here for him.”
or
Chris is forced to grapple with the choice he made eleven years ago when his father comes back for Helena’s funeral.

Summary
Through his cracked-open window, he can hear traffic in the distance. The sound is clearer at night. It's temperature inversion—he learned that long enough ago that he doesn't remember who told him, but if it wasn't a teacher it was probably Buck. At night, the ground cools, chilling the air near the surface, refracting sounds so they travel farther. It's not an echo, but it's something like it.
In his room, in the warm yellow light, his mattress shifts as someone sits down, and Chris thinks about echoes.

Summary
Buck’s not really sure what to say here, so he doesn’t say anything. For a minute they stand there in total silence, the TV muted, and looking at Eddie – the defeated slump of his shoulders, the hand over his mouth, the eyes staring blankly at nothing – it’s like those modern art installations one of Buck’s exes used to take him to: Man, with broken heart.
Man, eviscerated.
Buck’s no good with people being sad around him – it always feels like his responsibility, like if they aren’t smiling it’s his fault, and this time it really is his fault, at least partially, so he offers, “You can beat me up, if it would make you feel better.”

Summary
It can be concluded based on the canon presented that ‘Evan “Buck” Buckley’ and ‘Eddie Diaz’ from 9-1-1 would, in a romantic relationship, be switch-versatile in a sexual context. In this essay (and yes, it will be an actual essay), I will argue the reasoning for this interpretation and reference the (sub)textual moments which exist to support this theory.
As a preliminary statement, is not a goal of mine to convince those reading that they must leave sharing this same conclusion—rather, I aim to unpack the character’s behavior both individually and with each other, and explain how The Buddie Vers-Switch Theory has stemmed from a fair media analysis of their shown dynamics and personalities on-screen. I will also provide supplementary evidence for why the complete dismissal of this conclusion is ultimately lacks a comprehensive understanding of the push-and-pull of their dynamic.

Summary
Eddie is on the cusp of breaking down. Everything that can go wrong, has gone wrong. Even a fucking tsunami, of all things.
He’s boiling over, and needs release. All these intense feelings he’s carrying are becoming too much.
He comes across a flier for “Crossroads”. An underground exclusive nightclub aimed towards dark clubbing and exploration of self with full anonymity. A place where he can release, let loose, and maybe learn more about himself, and examine some… feelings he’s starting to come to terms with.
Feelings he definitely wouldn’t mind exploring with that masked, tall and hunky dancer on that stage over there who just happens to remind him of Buck.
No one will know about his desires, about his fantasies. Why not indulge himself.Dark clubbing, sexual exploration, reality-bending adventure.

Summary
"You look exactly the same," Eddie says with tears in his eyes. "How is that even possible?"
"I don't know," Buck says, his thumb swiping across Eddie's knuckles. "I don't understand it."
He may be the same, but looking at Eddie, Buck can see the years on him. His hair is a bit different, the creases by the corners of his eyes just a bit deeper. There's a new scar on his right hand that Buck hasn't seen before.He'd know these hands blind, but it takes him a moment to notice it still. His fingers brush over it once, and then again before he actually looks down and sees the thin golden band wrapped around Eddie's ring finger. Then he just—stares at it, stupidly, for a second. Before Eddie pulls his hands back, and leaves Buck's hanging empty in the space between them.
"You're married," he says.

hey so. this is hands down without doubt my favourite buddie fic of all time. i’ve got a lot of thoughts in my head and none of them coherent or in order but i sure as hell am gonna try—starting with THIS PERFECT COMBINATION OF TROPES. now i’m a simple girl with simple standards: the fic just needs to be buddie. THOUGH like everybody else, i have my kryptonite. and my guilty pleasure lies in that little intersection of future fic+grieving someone who is very much alive but not yours+the ache of seeing the one you love happy with someone else. and of course, the angst that comes with it. and this fic has checked all the boxes in a way that couldn’t be more perfect. the writer has taken the initial time travel premise of manifest (which was the whole reason i started the show until it got weird…rip) and executed it so BEAUTIFULLY and so PAINFULLY. like the characterisation of every single character was flawless, i was right there with buck feeling his loss, i was right there with eddie feeling his conflict, i was right there feeling that ?betrayal? on behalf of buck, when he sees that chimney could wait five years for maddie but eddie couldn’t. when eddie was torn between this woman he grew to love and buck , who he was meant to love, and UGH.
But it clashes in his head sometimes. Thoughts of 'I think I'm gonna marry her' all mixed up with thoughts of 'I never got to marry you.'
FUUUUUUUUCK. ao3 user Nymika i really need you to know the impact this fic had on me and i will be carrying this in my heart FOREVER.

when you walk into the who loves eddie diaz most competition but you find out your opponent is evan buckley.... jesus. buck is so obsessed deranged insane psychotic crazy freak for eddie. oh my god.
And he doesn’t know what he means, because he’s never— they’ve never— but, still, he means it, he wants it bad enough he’s shaking, feels like he could cut Eddie open and— and— and cut himself open, and then maybe they could be together forever, like that, their intestines roped together like harness lines, and—
you are not normal my guy. but then again, if you weren't normal, i wouldn't have enjoyed this half as much as i did

Soft, dark hair, just long enough to begin curling at the tips; expressive eyebrows and an impossibly straight nose that should belong on some Greek statue, full pink lips stretched in a wide smile just this side of goofy, and a wonderful amount of stubble dusting his jaw; broad shoulders hugged to perfection by the dark blue police uniform, his entire body a stretch of tight muscle. Yeah, yup, yes. Chim is not wrong. The man is handsome as sin. Also, he’s a cop, which—hi, hello, that’s hot.
[AU in which Eddie is a cop who just moved to LA; Buck has zero self-esteem, a praise kink the size of the desert and no clue on how to pick a decent Dom; and eventually love conquers all.]

Summary
Buck had thought the black mask that completely covers the top half of the guy's face looked silly, when he'd seen it on the news.
Now, with the man in front of him, he realizes why no one jokes about the vigilante's appearance. Even though he clearly doesn't perceive Buck as a threat, he seems like a mountain rather than a real person. All of his muscles look toned, and there's something dangerous in the set of his shoulders. Still, he offers Buck a small smile, one that kind of reminds him of Eddie's. He reaches his hands down to help Buck stand. It puts the man's biceps next to his face.
Buck swallows. Be normal when you talk to the hot vigilante, he thinks to himself.
"You know they make bigger shirt sizes, right?" he asks instead.
