#canon has referred to buck and eddie as best friends once | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

My theory is that Eddie is going to be written as an ever straighter man in 7x05. Based on the leaks (however true they are), it seems like I’m going to be right, but I was thinking all of this before the leaks came out. I won’t say what they are, only the things I’ve been thinking for weeks or things that can be easily assumed based on writing and plot. (Also please don’t send me more spoilers, I want to have some surprise)

In s7 so far, Eddie has been seen as a guy who married a woman. I thought the line “you mean slept with,” was weirdly included to show that Eddie likes to sleep with women. Also he enjoys cars, martial arts, going to the bar, and basketball. Can queer men like these things? Of course, Tommy does, Buck does (mostly), but the point is that they’re seen as stereotypically straight-man stuff, which is why it’s more shocking that Tommy and Buck are queer. They’re giving Eddie more traits to make him ever more masculine. They mention his girlfriend a lot and show them standing pressed-up against each other.

We all know that Buck is going to come out to Eddie in his loft. I can 100% see them having Eddie being the very supportive straight best friend to Buck, because I think the show wants that dynamic of “queer man and best friend face no awkwardness, just support and love.” To show the audience that two men, even one who’s bi can still have a close best friendship with another man without it going romantic.

Oliver and Tim both said things along the lines of the crush not being on Eddie, no plans for buddie right now. Ryan said (around the time of shooting this episode) they’re going to be closer than ever, which I assumed weeks ago was that Eddie is going to call Buck brother in that loft scene. Closer than ever? They haven’t recently defined their relationship at all, so being referred to as brothers would definitely fit that mark. This also would create deniability for the writers not making buddie canon, because “they’re brothers.” Oliver also said “if one character realizing his bisexuality” and I know he was talking specifically about people’s reactions to Buck, but the singularity of it made me instantly think that he’s the only one exploring his sexuality this season.

Next, we know Eddie and Marisol have a sexy time moment in this next episode because the actress posted a picture. Easiest way for the audience to see Eddie as a straight man? Have sex with a woman. “But Buck had lots of sex with women and he’s bi!” True. But you have to think of it as a general audience, mainly straight, viewer. Woman = not gay. Especially with what (according to leaks) seems like the plot will be more about Eddie wanting sex than the other way around. We know he and Shannon had a good sex-life and that it’s implied that he and Ana hooked up at least once if not more. He’s no Buck 1.0, but when it comes to Eddie’s sex-life, the writers aren’t shying away from him being seen as a manly man.

In the promo we see him and Marisol at the restaurant and the one thing I noticed first was the fact that Edy’s shirt is low cut and her push-up bra is truly doing the most. Like half of her boobs are just totally out. Wardrobe dressed her to look all sexy (they very likely provided the bra too), to show that Eddie is a typical dude-bro with a hot female girlfriend. In an episode that Ryan mentioned included something about intimacy, and from what I know of the leaks, it’s really digging into the fact that men have sex with women and it’s all the show that Eddie is here for that.

If buddie ever goes canon, the earliest I can imagine things even starting on Eddie’s side would be season 8. I think Marisol is here to stay until further notice, which makes me sick, but I’m theorizing that the “looks at their relationship closer” thing will be him asking her to move in, because that’s the only thing it can be. From what we’ve seen and heard, their relationship is going good, and even though these writers have lost the plot (literally and metaphorically), because it’s been less than 5 months of dating and they’re still getting to know each other, they think that seems like the next step in their relationship. It once again will highlight the way they want Eddie to be seen as a macho guy. I know so many people are thinking that the writers are just putting Eddie through this relationship to show that he’s a repressed queer man, but i don’t agree. I mean, yeah he could been repressed, but I don’t think that’s why the writers are doing what they’re doing. I think we’re trying to find something that they’re not giving us, because what they’re giving us just feels so wrong with everything else we know about Eddie so far and where his story was leading to in s6.

Plot wise, buddie still made the most sense. Past tense. The end of season 6 really fucked with things to the point where had they gotten rid of both girlfriends, it would’ve been fine, but it still feels like Buck and Eddie are too separate right now for it to go romantic as it is right now. But as for partners, yeah, Buck and Eddie will always make the most sense for each other in theory. In practice though, the show does have to worry about ratings and hopefully the reactions to Buck show them that they don’t have to worry about it negatively affecting the show, but I just really don’t think that they’ll have Eddie be anything other than straight because they’ll lose fans that way. Granted it’s homophobic fans, and they’ll gain more queer fans, but when you think about the business side, the numbers would jump too much. I love how much we all love watching 911, but people watching through pirated links, illegal streaming sites, tumblr gifs, TikTok’s, and uploaded google files, while they are obvi massive fans, aren’t considered in the viewership counts. The show may gain a huge influx of viewers if Buddie happens, but the numbers they’re looking at aren’t tumblr users, they’re people watching on Hulu and live TV. Which tends to be people in older demographics, people they risk losing if they have the other “hot straight firefighter” “go gay.”

This isn’t to be negative. I love buddie. I love BuckTommy right now too. I’ll be so sad when Tommy leaves. I’m just trying to be realistic because I can see so many people getting their hopes up, and not just in a fun shipping way, but in a real way where they’re confident buddie is going to happen this season. I’m so scared for the show and everyone’s heartbreak when it doesn’t happen.

Once again, thinking about whoever said that the show does not title Buck and Eddie's relationship. They aren't best friends. That's almost entirely a fandom thing. The only time their relationship has been named is, "That's Buck. We work together," and ,"How do you tell your best friend you lost his son?"

The most recent time their relationship was labeled was TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO. And that was before they had been through like...anything together.

My mom has also pointed out that they go OUT OF THEIR WAY to avoid labeling it with phrases like "He's hanging out with 'his Buck' today."

And it's not like it wouldn't come up. Hen and Chimney refer to themselves fairly frequently. There are plenty of ways to slip it in. "You're my best friend, you know that, right?" "You're my best friend and I love you." "He's my best friend!" Just to name a few off the top of my head examples. But they not only don't do that but they have been known to *avoid* it. Interesting...

Edit: both of those quotes can even been written off. When "we work together" they had known each other for like a week. There was hardly a relationship to label, let alone in front of family. That line has also always felt like a subtle form of "we haven't talked about it" to me. Because calling someone your best friend can also be vulnerable and again - they'd known each other for like a week.

And "how do you tell your best friend you lost his son?" Best friend is used as emphasis here. Buck is distressed, distraught, so many things and he is saying just that: "I am emotional over the gravity of the situation and these are the stakes." And this use of the title is individual. It isn't even a case of a mutually agreed upon classification of their relationship.

Thus, Buck and Eddie being best friends is a 95%, if not completely, fanon concept. All that is actually evident is that they are each other's go-to person. Each other's favourite person. Each other's person.

Edit 2: Buck and Christopher are actually more canonically best friends.

So what exactly the point of cemetery scene? Just to show us ‘hey look it’s the first time they’re talking about a LI and not about breaking up, but instead waxing poetics about them, this one IS special’, ‘isn’t that nice these 2 straight bros having a heart to heart about a woman one met 2 seconds ago’? Lollollol.

Okay. I know people are still reeling, but I'm gonna be serious about it. I've thought about this, and maybe my interpretation isn't what Kristen (and Taylor, who wrote the script) was going for - maybe we never know because Kristen never has to speak on it - but given where the story ended up, I think fandom focused a little too long on the "wrong thing", and it's not the fault of our fandom. It's the show (once again) not setting up a clear path for the audience to get from Point A to Point B. Eddie: *is the exasperated bestie who can't believe Buck fell for a girl from a call again* so naturally, fandom took his disbelief as a sign that things weren't gonna work out by the end (and ftr, I was right there with everyone else) Also Eddie: *makes a reference to Buck loving to be the guy with the answers after Buck says Natalia had questions about the lightning strike so they met up* Buck: "No. I'm serious." So right there. Right there in that moment. He's saying he didn't go on the date with her for an ego boost, nor is it something he wants to joke about. Buck: "There's something...different about her. I-I feel like she sees me, you know? Like she-she really sees me for who I am and what I've been through. I think she might even see more in me than I see in myself." This statement allowed Eddie to acknowledge that Buck hasn't been the same since the accident, "but how could you be?" and Buck, doing what we've come to expect as Eddie *is* his best friend in canon, admits that he isn't sure how to act, because he feels different, but he also worries that he has to be "the same old Buck mostly for the sake of everyone else." Eddie: "You don't have to be anything for anybody. And no one is ever the same from one day to the next." This? This can be (and has been) interpreted in one of two ways: 1. It's romantic because Eddie *sees* Buck for who he is. 2. It's Eddie being a supportive bestie, knowing Buck could use the reassurance that there's nothing wrong with being himself, much like he had to make Buck realize his life has value back in that hospital room. But. If you still think of the will scene as romantic, you're gonna have a hard time NOT viewing that comment the same way because it's similar in theme. And then the convo closed out with Buck explaining that he knows he cheated death and that he has to make the most of every single moment because "From here on out...it's all a gift." Now, you're probably reading all these words like "is there a message I'm missing here?" because I'm saying a lot, I'm sorry asdfghjkl Natalia? Not actually the point of the conversation. Yes, it's "different" with her and we probably should have at least let that linger instead of dwelling on Eddie's sarcasm, but Natalia is what got Eddie to bring up the changes in Buck post-lightning strike, which then encouraged Buck to be open about the mental/emotional toll and how his outlook on life is evolving. She was the conduit. Again. This is one scene where I can't/won't be like "How did you get that from THAT?" because there was quite a bit packed in three minutes and when you're viewing things through a certain lens certain moments will stick with you more than others, so like, yes, Eddie's response was amusing because Ryan knew how to make it amusing, but. There was a whole ass heart-to-heart going on right after that about Buck and his journey. I've seen some people ask "what the point of the happiness convention was" because Buck didn't have his "I get it now" moment (that people wanted to be about the Buckley-DIaz fam), but I just gotta wonder... ....what else would you call Buck having his own "Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone" realization? You know what he "gets"? That he actually deserves to live. That he wants to live. Not for anyone in the firefam. For himself.

So I might be a 🤡 but I'm curious if I missed something and maybe you caught it and already wrote about it...

But at the end of the finale we sort of had all the start overs. Buck getting his key back ext. Like a little bit of S6 spoilers. When Eddie said I have that appt to Chris. I assumed in the moment it was his recertification. Especially when Chris was like don't be scared. But did we ever have Canon conclusion that's what it was or did I just assume. Because now that I'm thinking about it again could it have been a new kind of therapy appt.? I'm well aware I could be leaning in to hard.

I just always picture that if Eddie started to question his sexuality it maybe something he broaches with Chris because they are opening up more. Could it be hinting at new therapy for a gay panic. Because his old therapy is hardly a secret or something he needs reassurance for.

Anyways you always seem to catch everything and I honestly probably missed the moment Eddie said what the appt was for..

Hi Nonnie! You didn’t miss anything, Eddie didn’t explicitly specify what the appointment was for, and thank you for trusting me with this question! *HUGS*

I have no idea if this has been discussed, but I always assumed that Eddie was referring to himself continuing his therapy sessions with Frank. Could that mean that they’d discuss a new topic? It could, but I think it’s more likely the show had Eddie bringing it up and Chris reassuring him to remind us that healing isn’t this thing that’s finished and done in a moment, no matter how awesome your best (boy)friend is at finding the kid whose life you saved. Healing is a process, and you have to keep working on it. But once they establish that the therapy is still ongoing at the end of s5, they can always return to it in s6, and they can then show us if Eddie has any new topics to bring up... *insert eyes emoji here*

If Eddie did start to question his sexuality... IDK why, I always thought he would have an easier time accepting it if he didn’t have to label it. He loved Shannon in the past, it wasn’t perfect, and they probably wouldn’t have gotten married when they did if it weren’t for Christopher, but she was his partner. Until she wasn’t. And now he’s in love with Buck, and it’s the best partnership he’s ever had, and he's coming to realize that fact and how he needs their r/s to have its rightful pace in his life. I kind of always thought conceptualizing it like that would be easier for Eddie, maybe based on on a man I knew in rl who realized he was bi only later in life, after his wife had passed away from cancer, and when he fell in love for the first time with a man. But even if he conceptualized it like that, it doesn’t mean Eddie wouldn’t talk about it first before coming to terms with it. I do think he’d eventually talk to Chris about it, but I’m not sure he’d start there? It’s a huge thing, a big change for all of three, and before a parent can talk about such a thing to their kid, they usually need to be sure about it themselves. Not always, but in most cases. You don’t wanna rock your kid’s boat before you know for sure there are waves in the ocean, right? But he could very well use the therapy sessions to bring up all of his confusion, especially at first, when he’s not yet fully sure what it is he’s bringing up... ;)

In any case, I am looking forward to s6 and to seeing where Buddie’s parallel journeys take them! It does all feel very promising. I hope my answer helps and adds to your excitement, too? Sending lots of hugs and love! xoxox

So I’m just a spectator for your fandom. I don’t watch the show nor care too not really my taste. And a part of me honestly thinks you’re still being baited by the show. Be that as it may I still think you all have a very good chance of going canon and it’s based on one fact, Buck and Eddie have not had a true serious love interest since in bucks case when the show started and in Eddie’s case 5 years ago.

I’m going to cite three examples of popular “queerbait” ships that were never going to happen because of what I pointed out above.

Swan Queen - a fanon ship between Emma swan and the evil queen regina. Emma’s actual love interest Captain Hook was introduced in s2 and you can tell that was the route they were going on so they never truly made any remarks or showed in the show that SQ ever had a chance.

Merthur - now for this one I personally do absolutely believe they were queerbaited especially cause the endgame romance didn’t hold a candle to merthur. Be that as it may the character that ended married to one part of the ship was introduced in the first season and was a main character. The actual romance did not start till season two.

Mcdonno - the one that buddie is compared to. The best friends from Hawaii 5-0 that much like buddie were always there for each other and were each others deepest relationships. However one half of McDanno was involved in a will they won’t they romance with a character named Catherine since season 1. And this relationship was up and down for 10 seasons until they got together in the end. This was another thing of shippers getting their hopes knowing full well who someone was gonna be paired with but they got their hopes up and dashed. McDonno never stood a chance because of Catherine.

now notice the trend all these have that buddie does not? A serious love interest introduced in the first seasons of a show. Has not happened to buddie and right now we are in the middle of season 6. It is way too late to introduce a serious love interest for either one of these men and the audience just accept it. It would be poorly written, forced and unnecessary and there will be huge backlash. They had three seasons at least to introduce buck and Eddie with serious endgame love interests. Hell they both had relationships I believe in s4 and by s5 both relationships ended so again I ask…it’s way too late to do anything but buddie.

Look, I'm not particularly fond of the term queerbaiting, but your ask is interesting so I had to respond.

I personally never watched once upon a time, so I can't comment on that.

But I have watched Merlin, and it was pretty clear from the beginning that merthur will stay a fanon only thing. We all knew where this will end and there was no real chance for merthur to begin with.

Mcdanno, God, they fit so well. They were the very definition of old married couple. But this would never have turned canon either, because Steve right off the bat was introduced as "Uncle Steve." And the amount of "pal" and "Brother" were used so often that it was clear that this was going to stay fanon too. (So sad though)

Especially with the amount of times we saw both Steve and Danny have serious LIs throughout the show, not to mention the mythological significant others (Rachel and Catherine) that kept popping up. - I am still unbelievably upset with the fact that after all the times Cath screwed Steve over, the writers decided to bring her back for that last scene. So no "queerbaiting" there either.

Now, as for buddie, I agree with you that at this point, their only play is buddie endgame, for all the reasons you listed and more. Buck was never uncle Buck, brother was uttered one time only, and that was at the very beginning, and Buck is somehow "his Buck" (Eddie’s words when referring to Christopher’s presence at Buck’s loft). - Not to mention that unlike Steve and Danny, they very rarely talked to each other about their current gfs.

They indeed both had LIs but it was weak at most, no real connection, no smile inducing build up to a good relationship scenes, nothing. - I get my hetero "I believe in young love" thrill from other shows lol

I mean in both Station 19 and Chicago fire, even when I shipped a character with someone else, the writers made us like the current relationship, by endearing it to us.

It doesn't happen in 911. All women were a poor imitation of the real deal.

So is there a chance showrunners are screwing us over? Maybe.

Is it going to make me stop believing that buddie can and will happen? Absolutely not.

A little anecdote: I was watching 3x09, the famous kitchen scene, and my younger cousin, who never in his life watched that show, turned to me and asked: "Are they together?"

So, if a complete stranger can make that immediate deduction based on one scene, I'd say I like our odds.

sometimes i think about the buck-eddie-chris situation too hard and i actually start to lose it bc like. the show fully portrays buck as a second parent to chris. he’s not even in the fun uncle territory anymore he straight up just acts like his dad.

and even when it’s a funny scene it’s still just...there. take the whole chris going to camp discussion from 3x18. when buck goes on the ‘whAT IF HE GETS HOMESICK’ rant no one in the scene laughs and says, ‘relax buck, he’s not your kid’. buck’s reaction is funny, sure, but no one acts like it’s out of place. likewise in the scene in 4x03 where chris asks buck if they can go to his house when eddie turns off the tv. again, it’s a funny scene but it’s absolutely still played as buck deferring to eddie and siding with his partner him over chris.

and even before all this, even before their friendship is in an arguably much deeper place, eddie tells buck in 3x03 “i love him enough to never stop trying and i know you do too”. that’s not?????????? how your friend should feel about your kid?????? you should not believe that your friend loves your child in the same way/to the same extent you do when you’ve only known each other a little over a year. and to be so sure of that?????? he says it’s so resolutely it’s unbelievable?????????

and i mean, literally everything about 4x14 just emphasises all of this even more. from the fact that buck takes on the responsibility of taking care of chris without being asked to the fact that we discover eddie’s chosen him in that role anyway. then to have buck and chris’ first interaction after this be the hug in the firehouse in 5x02 where buck greets chris the exact same way eddie does i’m??????????

of all the things the show has done, they have never once post-s2 presented buck’s role in christopher’s life as anything other than parental and it’s so fucking wild bc it’s like. okay. eddie is christopher’s dad. and you’re saying buck loves chris like a son. and eddie has chosen buck to be christopher’s parent in the event that he’s not around anymore. so.

so.................

what are eddie and buck to each other then????

best friends? obviously. work partners? sure. but what are they together in christopher’s life?

there’s literally only one answer and the fact that canon is both so fucking blatant about who buck is to chris but also so incredibly vague when it comes to defining buck and eddie’s relationship my brain genuinely feels like it’s going to explode i can’t deal with this

#buddie #buckley diaz family #911 #911 related #mine #canon has referred to buck and eddie as best friends once???#twice maybe???#buck says it in 3x03 but i can't remember if there was another time #eddie calls them partners at work once #/no one/ calls them brothers lol #and yet there is not a single doubt in Any character's mind that they're a package deal #that they love each other #that they would do anything to save each other's lives #that buck is part of eddie's family #it's just #what the fuck you guys #literally what the fuck

PLEASE share your ted/trent agenda with the world i'm intrigued by how relatively easy that would be to do in canon

WARNING: SPOILERS FOR TED LASSO UP TO CURRENT EPISODE

Alright well I’ve taken to answering recent asks as top ten lists so here’s another: Top Ten Reasons Why Ted/Trent Should Be Canon:

1. This reddit comment sums it up:

It’s simply a compelling rom com(munism) plot! What’s more compelling than a journalist falling in love with the person he’s meant to report on! The ethical dilemmas! The slow realisation! Half of this arc was basically already covered in:

2. The episode 1.03 Trent Crimm The Independent. Which is perhaps the best episode of the show and I simply think perhaps we could use more of that energy. Too much Trent on screen never a bad thing unlike Beard sorry to that man and that episode

3. In the episode 2.07 Headspace Trent Crimm exits the bar with what looks to be a male date with a moustache, indicating he is both a) into men and b) moustachesexual. Actually he DOESN’T exit the bar he gets distracted by Ted and tells his date to wait outside while he saunters over to get some goss. But you get the picture.

4. Trent Crimm has a daughter but no wedding ring and APPEARED to be on a date which means it is simply not out of the realms of possibility that he is a divorced dad. Sorry to be wildly ungeneric but I simply think DivorcedDad4DivorcedDad is a great and fresh premise for a tv romance actually.

5. Ted Lasso SHOULD be at least bisexual. - Firstly because nobody on the show is officially LGBT+ and they need a Big Swing to offset how bad their representation is. (no, Disney’s 56th Gay Character adjacent grindr references by Colin isn’t enough for me and also by the way their racial politics are absolutely fucking awful. But this isn’t an ask about that.) Also because the more people get pissed off with bisexual/gay main characters that weren’t marketable or pre-warned the better. Let’s BREAK that pink and satiny ceiling— - Secondly because in the meta plot of Ted Lasso being about Jason Sudeikis recovering from his breakup with Olivia Wilde it would be funny if the answer to his existential crisis was Sucking A Man’s Dick - Thirdly about once an episode he drops some Woke JokeTM thing about another male character being handsome, AND he has a passionate love for musical theatre. Yeah I know he’s just meant to be sooooo perfect positive masculinity etc. but I personally reject Apple TV+’s cookie cutter and did-no-work Manic Pixie Dream Dad and offer this as a fun alternative.

6. My personal opinion on Ted Lasso season 2 is that daddy issues are overdone, and I don’t care about Apple TV+ going over Therapy 101. (Don’t get me wrong, I really love interior character focused therapy stuff if it’s well written! But in S2, it is not.) You know whose panic attacks I DO care about? Eddie Diaz’s comphet panic attacks on 911. Ted Lasso you could learn a thing or two from that! I’m just saying main character gay crises are fun and fresh and sexy!

7. Every single look Trent Crimm gives Ted Lasso post-1.03 indicates to me he’s DEEPLY smitten despite his smug upper-class self.

8. In the most recent episode 2.11, Trent Crimm sacrifices his journalistic integrity to provide Ted with details. It’s actually embarrassing and all of twitter is on his back over ethical integrity because you NEVER give away a source etc. etc… but HE’S IN LOVE, YOUR HONOUR. In the words of his own (official) twitter:

9. Ted makes Trent’s daughter cupcakes which implies a quite friendly relationship. Ted’s question in the show of ‘can I be a good father’ and ‘do I have a family I belong to’ can and should be partially answered by taking up parental care duties for his male friend’s child much like Buck 911 and Dean Supernatural—

10. There is no love interest for Ted Lasso that is remotely as compelling. Actually Trent happens to be the least problematic option on the table (other than Sassy, I guess!). (don’t @ me over this yes we KNOW a m/f relationship is going to be the endgame of Apple TV+’s flagship show if you ship ted/sharon or ted/rebecca you’re not under any threat!)

#don’t take this too seriously although I’m right.#I’ve taken to calling it trend. haha let’s get it TRENDING #no but really twitter seeing ‘trend’ trend and trying to figure it out. fun concept #ted lasso #ted x trent #all part of my agenda to get trent/ted on the board they’re STARTING to write season 3… we can turn this boat around...#you read one leupagus fic and end up here. wasn’t even the leupagus fic that convinced me #the second I saw the ship I was like. [owen wilson voice] wow #watching ted lasso this season has been boring I’m sorry it’s simply not very well written!#need some meta game to keep myself entertained and that meta game is shipping two old men who are deeply unattractive to me #but attractive to EACH OTHER which is all that matters #kira for ts #ask #anonymous #long post for ts

It still kind of bugs me though that Eddie was able to let down his guard down long enough to tell chimney he considers him family, yet he has never in canon called or referred to Buck as his friend let alone family, and when he introduces him to people he introduces him as his co-worker

and buck has said exactly once in two and a sort of half seasons that eddie is his best friend.

bedsides, he says “this is the family we chose” and doesn’t actually tell chimney he’s family. he says they’re ALL family.

stop looking for borrowed trouble, anon.

eddie, like buck, will say it when it means something and not just as a throwaway line. imo, that’ll mean more to me because EDDIE WOULDNT reveal something like that to buck unless it meant something to BOTH of them. that’s just who eddie is. buck is vocal, eddie is demonstrative.

#Siri speaks #stop acting like Eddie doesn’t love buck #as much as buck loves eddie 2021

Title: Chocolate Malts, Chicken Bites & French Fries Fandom: 9-1-1/9-1-1: Lone Star Pairing: Eddie Diaz & Carlos Reyes (Familial) Chapters/Length: 1/1 || 2903 Words Rating: Gen Warnings: Angst, References to Religious based homophobia, Slight internalized homophobia Link To Fic: AO3 || Tumblr Summary: "E-Eddie…I-I…" Carlos tries to start; before his throat tightens suddenly as he's hit with the realisation of just how much support he's at risk of losing if Eddie doesn't accept him. It hadn't even crossed his mind until that moment that Eddie might not approve, yet somehow, the simple act of buying him food and milkshakes to cheer him up really hits home just how much he could lose.

Day 3: Lazy Sundays

Title: Breakfast Quesadillas Fandom: 9-1-1 Pairing: Buddie Chapters/Length: 1/1 || 1288 Words Rating: Gen Warnings: None Link To Fic: AO3 || Tumblr Summary: "You made me breakfast in bed?" Buck echoes in disbelief. Ignoring the food tray in his lap, Buck reaches over to press a large palm against the side of Eddie's neck, twisting and leaning in as best he can to press a kiss to the brunet's temple.

Day 4: Sparklers & Fireworks

Title: A More Impartial Judge Fandom: 9-1-1 Pairing: Eddie & Josh (Background Russley) Chapters/Length: 1/1 || 2409 Words Rating: Gen Warnings: References to canon trauma, Eddie has PTSD Link To Fic: AO3 || Tumblr Summary: Just as he's about to open the door, Eddie realises that he doesn't want him to go. Whilst he had originally snuck away, not wanting to face the embarrassment of panicking in front of a garden full of first responders; the idea of being alone once more suddenly feels like a knife to the stomach."Wait," he calls out softly, watching as Josh instantly stops and turns back round to face him. "I-I'd appreciate the company honestly. If you're not expected back?"

Day 5: Watching The Sunrise

Title: Keep Their Memories Alive Fandom: 9-1-1 Pairing: Bobby & Buck Chapters/Length: 1/1 || 2416 Words Rating: Gen Warnings: References to canonical child death, Implied child neglect following 4x05 Buck Begins Link To Fic: AO3 || Tumblr Summary: Remembering something he keeps hidden in his wallet and hasn't shown to anyone but Athena, May and Harry, Bobby shifts slightly, being careful not to accidentally knock either himself or Buck off the rooftop as he retrieves his wallet from his back pocket with his free hand. He works it open, before carefully extracting the creased photograph tucked in there, and holds it out for Buck to see. "Is that…?" Buck gasps as he blinks down at the photograph.

Day 6: Fireman's Carry

Title: I'll Carry You Fandom: 9-1-1: Lone Star Pairing: Tarlos Chapters/Length: 1/1 || 2000 Words Rating: Gen Warnings: Mild references to injury & broken bones Link To Fic: AO3 || Tumblr Summary: "What?! I'm not letting you sleep on the sofa with a fractured ankle!"

"And just how are you going to get me up the stairs?" Carlos asks, eyebrow lifting softly.

"I'll carry you."

Day 7: Meddling Friends

Title: Welcome To Chez Diaz Fandom: 9-1-1 Pairing: Russley, Eddie & Christopher Chapters/Length: 1/1 || 3431 Words Rating: Gen Warnings: None Link To Fic: AO3 || Tumblr Summary: "Did we forget about a plan superman?" Buck questions gently as Christopher steps back and lets the pair of them in, Buck crouching down to lightly fix Christopher's moustache as it peels off with the shifting of his philtrum.

"It's a date!" Christopher exclaims before seemingly remembering the role he's supposed to play and straightens up and steps back. "Welcome to Chez Diaz! Let me show you to your seats!"

Buck and Josh are still reeling from Christopher's declaration and spare each other a quick glance before they follow after the smartly dressed boy.

When they arrive at the dining area, Christopher pauses and lifts his hands to clap them quickly, clearly summoning someone, and Buck and Josh stare as Eddie comes through from the kitchen in his own suit, one eyebrow-raising as if daring them to say anything about his own cartoonish moustache.

Day 8: Cooking Lessons

Title: Chocolate Orange Babka Fandom: 9-1-1: Lone Star Pairing: Tarlos Chapters/Length: 1/1 || 3031 Words Rating: Gen Warnings: None Link To Fic: AO3 || Tumblr Summary: "Well, either way, stop it now so we can enjoy this wonderful creation of TK's." she smiles, gesturing for the paramedic to step forward so he can place the plate on the table. "What did you say it was called again mijo?"

"It's a chocolate orange babka," TK replies proudly as he takes the knife Andrea hands him and carefully slices into it.

Day 9: Text Messages

Title: Stand By, This Is Getting Weird Fandom: 9-1-1 Pairing: Pre/Endgame-Buddie Chapters/Length: 1/1 || 1687 Words Rating: Gen Warnings: None Link To Fic: AO3 || Tumblr Summary: So, it was safe to say that Buck has been all but conditioned to expect text messages from family to equate bad times.

This is why when his phone suddenly chimes with a text from Eddie, Buck's mind spirals out of control before he even opens it.

I need you to invent an emergency fast. This date is making me miss Afghanistan.

Day 10: Pillow Fight

Title: The Fight Is On! Fandom: 9-1-1: Lone Star Pairing: Tarlos Chapters/Length: 1/1 || 1548 Words Rating: Gen Warnings: None Link To Fic: AO3 || Tumblr Summary: What he originally assumed was a note letting Carlos know that TK had left last minute to go rush off somewhere like his dad's or Judd's to help with a crisis–TK refused to text whenever he knew Carlos would be driving home, just on the off chance that the officer would get distracted and end up in an accident–was, in fact, something much more exciting.

Hey babe,

I heard from Mitchell and your dad that you've had the day from hell. So I thought you could do with a bit of cheering up.

You are hereby challenged to a pillow fight!

Day 11: Love Notes

Title: Neon Squares Fandom: 9-1-1 Pairing: Russley Chapters/Length: 1/1 || 1726 Words Rating: Gen Warnings: None Link To Fic: AO3 || Tumblr Summary: The first time it happens, it comes at the cost of Buck's phone.

The device is the unfortunate casualty of a half-asleep hit and run, the firefighter kicking it down the stairs as he shuffles all but blind towards the bathroom, having not realised it had fallen to the floor during the night. And he can do little more than stare as it falls victim to the brutality of concrete and steel as it tumbles, before finally shattering into pieces as it hits the lower ground of his loft.

Day 12: Sleepy Kiss

Title: Familiar Affection Fandom: 9-1-1 Pairing: Pre-Buddie, Eddie & FireFam Chapters/Length: 1/1 || 2362 Words Rating: Gen Warnings: None Link To Fic: AO3 || Tumblr Summary: Eddie turns as he reaches Buck's side and rests back against the counter, a sleepy smile curving the side of his lips as Buck turns to mirror him and hands over the cup of freshly made coffee.

"Thanks, Buck," Eddie mumbles, hugging the mug to his chest as he tilts and lets his head drop against the blond's shoulder and just leaves it there.

Day 13: Pillow Talk

Title: What You Reading? Fandom: 9-1-1 Pairing: Buddie Chapters/Length: 1/1 || 2159 Words Rating: Teen Warnings: Mild Innuendos, References to Canon Buckley/Diaz parenting issues Link To Fic: AO3 || Tumblr Summary: "Go on then, regale me with some obscure facts about love."

Buck hums and lightly scritches his fingers against Eddie's scalp before scrolling back up to the top of the list.

"Okay, did you know…that throughout history, human sweat was one of the main ingredients in perfumes and love potions?"

Eddie's face scrunches in disgust against Buck's chest, so much so that the blond can feel it as it bunches and shifts against his skin, even if he can't see it.

"Really? of all the things to start with you chose that one?"

Day 14: Slow Dancing
