Summary
Buck knew the universe wasn’t really a huge fan of him. But this? This was a new low.
The last two weeks of working with Eddie Diaz had been a special type of hell. Of course, while he’d been out of work nearly dying several times, Bobby had managed to replace him with the hottest, most competent probie that ever graduated the Academy. And of course, he hated Buck.
Which was good, because Buck hated him right back.
-----
In a world where everyone's timing is just a little off, Buck and Eddie take a few more missteps on the way to finding each other.

Summary
The credits had just begun to roll when Eddie noticed Buck playing with the hem of his dress, fingers grazing his thigh every couple of seconds, sending sparks through his skin. Eddie turned to face him, finding Buck staring down to where he was fiddling with the fabric.
A shiver went through Eddie as Buck’s fingers grazed his thigh again and Eddie nervously blurted, “What are you doing?”
Buck’s eyes flicked up to meet Eddie’s, looking slightly surprised, like he hadn’t been fully aware of his own actions.
“Nothing, you just– you look really pretty,” his fingers continued toying with the material as he spoke and Eddie felt his cheeks burn.
or
Eddie realizes he really likes to feel pretty, and Buck helps him through the complicated feelings that come along with that.

Summary
Evan “Buck” Buckley was not an honest person as much as he would like to be or even was trying to be in his own way. His dishonesty wasn’t malicious in the slightest though. He had his reasons, of course, but his entire identity was built on a shaky Jenga tower of lies. As much as he built it up, one by one the blocks were still removed over the years making the tower less and less stable.
Buck joined the 118 fresh out of the Navy and braced himself for all the questions that were about to come his way which he did not want to answer. Then, like a gift from above, somehow and shockingly, no one had read his resume, and he found he could start all over again, be a new person, someone completely different or maybe who he was supposed to be all along.

Summary
Eddie had noticed how the bottles slowly replaced the food at the loft, how the drinking had managed to take over Buck's life.
What happens when love does and it’s not what they expected?
When Eddie decides he’s ready for love even if it’s not with Buck?
“Look, I don’t care how much you drink, but do NOT, contact my son again! You forgot about him!” Eddie yelled and it made something snap inside Buck.
…………………………“Just tell me what you want me to do Eddie!” Buck said, frustration getting the best of him.
“I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME!” Eddie yelled, his voice immediately dying in his throat. “Tell me not to get married and I’ll call the whole thing off.”Eddie and Buck navigate their feelings while helping Christopher navigate his own.

lightening strikes twice (and it burns so nice) by youdrewstarsaroundmyscars118

Summary
Buck’s just arrived at the top of the ladder, using his flashlight to get a better look when it happens, there is a bright blinding light followed by thunder.
“BUCK !” The scream rips out his throat as he watches Buck dangling from the ladder, unmoving and seemingly unconscious from the strike.
Lightening always strikes twice and he only feels the burn before passing out himself.

Spec fic for 6x10, basically they’re lightening struck lovers and they’re dumbasses like always.Bookmarked by river_b

Summary
There’s mud on his hands. There’s mud on his hands and he has to dig deeper, quicker, because Eddie is forty feet beneath him and surely he can’t breathe because the well is gone and Eddie is gone and Buck can’t follow him.
“Eddie,” his throat feels raw, the words wrong to his ears, “Eddie.”
“Yeah,” Eddie says, holding onto him, “I'm right here, Buck, I’m right here.”
“I can’t—” Buck breaks off, his trembling, dirty hand in the air and Eddie must understand because he takes Buck's hand without question and pulls it to his chest, right over his heart.
{or five times Buck needs to feel Eddie's heartbeat and the one time Eddie needs to feel his}

Summary
“Come on, Steve, you were just complimenting me on my investigative skills. You think I turn them off when I’m not working?” He runs his hand through his hair—god, he hates this haircut. “Nine years we’ve been dancing around this, making eyes at each other, claiming we’re not what we are, and then you just pop up in my house on a random Wednesday and jump my bones, just like that? You think it’s hard, making sense of you? I hate to break it to you, my friend, but you are not what’s called a complex character, you absolutely are not.”
Steve’s nodding, absent little dips of his head. His eyebrows have set into his mule face. Danny wants to hug him, but also punch him; he might yet, both, either—the night is young. “Will you just tell me, please?” he repeats.
Or Danny's life takes a sharp turn on a random weeknight, and he finds himself balancing the murder investigation of a Colombian woman with figuring out what is causing Steve's odd behavior.

Summary
Danny can see ghosts. Plain as day, right in front him. He’s always been able to see them - it’s his gift. But if you ask him, it feels more like a curse.
When Rachel moved to Hawaii and Danny followed, he decided to hide his gift. If people or ghosts knew about it, they’d take advantage, they’d use him. And he was sick of that. So instead, he gave up being a cop and bought a bookstore where he could spend more time alone and fewer dead people bothered him.
When he’s visited by the ghost of a brutally murdered man, he puts in an anonymous tip about his killers but unbeknownst to Danny, Five-0 has immunity and means, and the head of the task force, Steve McGarrett, isn’t above hunting down someone to make them less anonymous. Before long, Danny finds himself consulting and going undercover with McGarrett, putting himself back into the dangerous situations he used to face as a cop. The things he’ll do to help a ghost cross over…

Wrong.
Meanwhile, Tangerine's first day back on the job is similarly annoying and riddled with problems... Is it one big coincidence or does fate have a really twisted sense of humour?

Summary
The year is 1998. Australia is fucked to hell and back, but its neighbour New Zealand is doing surprisingly alright. Well, if it wasn't for the supply shortages, persistent earthquakes, and the government's increasing heavy handed attempts at censorship.
Cody, a presenter at Radio Hauraki, is particularly pissed about that last thing. And he knows just what to do about it, too — all they need is a boat. Radio Hauraki started life as pirate radio back in the sixties, what's stopping them from going back on the waves?
Also, if his coworker, Obi-Wan, could stop making his life a living hell that'd be great, but Cody is pretty sure the world will end for real before that happens.

After enjoying spending time with his lost loved ones, he decides he really needs to wake up before he dies of dehydration. When intense meditation fails, he tries to break the illusion through more...EXTREME measures (check the tags). Panic from all parties ensues.
