Que vivan los novios 🥺💗
getting into 9-1-1, I genuinely believed that Eddie would be the smarter one. But my brother in Christ, why didn't anybody tell me that he share brain cells with Evan 'Buck' Buckley? 😭😭😭 now I have to watch with horrifying realisation that these two idiots are each other's emergency contacts

Occasionally, people’s names wouldn’t match up. It wasn’t common, and the only cases Buck had ever personally heard of had involved literal criminals, but it did happen. The other option– well. Either Buck was secretly a killer without knowing about it, or Eddie had taken one look at him and decided he wanted nothing to do with him. i love a good soulmate fic, and this is a great soulmate fic, so imagine how happy i was reading this!! i also really loved the bobby buck dynamic <3

Buck takes a breath like he’s steeling himself, and sets his beer down on the coffee table. “What if– Eddie, what if I get myself stuck in here with you?” TIME LOOP FIC. oh my god i love a time loop fic. i love eddie and chim and i love buck and i love everything <3
kind eyes, it's all good | cavevulpis/@cavevulpis | 6.3k | GA
Buck has never been lucky in love. He has enough break-ups under his belt to prove it. this is so stunningly written!! i especially adored the taylor section, i think this might just be my favourite taylor in fic ever... so so good!!
Eddie gets a series of text messages from Tommy, despite not hearing from him for the last few months. He ignores most of them, until Tommy implies he could have made things weird for Buck and Eddie. oh this has some really stunning romantic lines that i won't quote bc spoilers but i am quoting them in my mind. so good!!
“Home sweet home.” Buck mumbles, stumbling as he tries to kick his shoes off. Eddie doesn’t correct him, tell him that it’s not his yet, because that’d be a lie. This place has been Buck’s home for nearly as long as it’s been Eddie’s. this is the loveliest fic <3 one of the tags is the diaz house is buck's home and i love that so so much. it's so true <3
perfectly made | serenelystrange/@serenelystrange | 6.8k | E
In which Eddie needs to unsubscribe to a gay porn site, and the only way to do so is to make a phone call. Buck answers that call. this is such a fun au!! it's so cute and i loved the silly porno names hehe
rage is a quiet thing | oceanofchaos/@islandoforder | 33.3k | GA

shouting under my breath | carpediaz/@sofa-king-lame | 2.3k | T

Everyone knows that when you touch someone who's going to be important to you for the first time, you'll leave a mark on them. It's not just romantic love; parents and children, siblings, close friends all share marks too. At least, they do in theory. Maddie's the only person who's ever touched Buck and left anything behind. i've been devouring each chapter of this fic as it was posted and i'm already feeling like it's time for a reread, that's how good this is!! this has lovely buddie but also such fantastic platonic relationships, i love it so so much <3
Eddie's feelings in a box, and the people who taught him to put them there. this is so beautifully written!! i especially loved eddie and chris together <3 so good!!

after months of sleeping in Eddie’s bed alone, Buck finally gets to share. soft and lovely and so perfect <3 one of my favourite bed sharing fics!!
god. GOD. this pattern buck has found himself repeating. where he gets this 🤏 close to realising and acknowledging his feelings for eddie. but then swerves around them at the very last moment and lashes the fuck out. he's doing the exact same thing he did in 7x04. the feelings are THERE. he sees them. he knows they're there. but he can’t look at them. it makes him literally ANGRY to look at them. and crucially it's himself he's angry at. it wasn’t really eddie he was angry at in 7x04. it wasn’t really eddie he was angry at in 8x09. it isn’t really tommy he's angry at now. he's angry at HIMSELF. for, in his own words "pining for his straight best friend". because it makes him crazy. and it hurts. god. feeling like this fucking HURTS. it makes him feel out of control. and he doesn't know what to do with it. there's nothing he can do with it. because eddie's straight. right?
in the hours before 810 airing, may I present a piece of Lost Media: the 2011 Old Navy Summer Tie Shorts BBQ-T ad.
buck jokingly like, hey what do you think about knocking this wall down? when in reality he's probably not going to significantly change anything in eddie's house. because eddie's house felt like home to him even before he moved in. he's just going to put his stuff in the spaces eddie has left. and the rest of it is going to stay exactly the same. he literally will not touch christopher's room. then eddie's going to be on facetime like. everything still looks the same. and buck's gonna be like well, yeah. it's your house. and eddie's gonna be like. our house now. and that's going to make buck feel so so warm. like, in his heart. but literally. hot all over also for some reason. our house. okay. okay. so then buck's like maybe i will add some flourishes. and then eddie gets a bunch of photos over the next week of like. a painting of the ocean buck saw like. thought it would look nice in our living room? 🤔 and eddie's like. i love it! so buck buys it, beaming. yay. and then eddie gets a photo of some new shelves. buck like, thought we could put these in the kitchen! and eddie's like, yeah, definitely! you could put your 5000 jars of different herbs on them. and buck's like, haha 🙄 but yeah that's what i was thinking actually 😌 and eddie's like, i know 😉 and then later in the week buck sends him a new pinboard with a daily planner on and eddie's like, oh that would be great for chris's school stuff! and buck lights up. then the next day buck sends him a screenshot of a lamp in the shape of a cowboy hat. and eddie's like, buck where would we even put that? 🤣 and buck's like, don't pretend you don't love it!!!!! and eddie's like, yeah i kinda do. bedside table? and buck sends a screenshot of him checking it out and, bedside table it is. then a couple of days later, eddie sends a photo of a lamp in the shape of the moon and says, for your side of the bed. and buck drops his cup of coffee on the floor and it smashes into tiny pieces as he stares at the words your side of the bed
BUDDIE + text posts/tweets (5/∞)
reddit fic where buck brings a hookup back to eddie's one night but suddenly realizes he's fucking someone in eddie's bed and he gets so weird about it that he has to ask r/aita if he was in the wrong for stopping in the middle of sex and asking the person if they could leave because he accidentally started imagining eddie and started feeling super wrong about it. and some of the replies are like "nta op you can revoke consent at any time and you were as kind as you could be to ur hookup but elaborate on the nature of you and your best friends relationship please"
my dear comrades in these beautiful but trying times it is important for all of us to be eddie diaz extremists. as we get closer to our goal facades of many closeted eddie haters will fall but we will persevere. in these spaces filled with buck infantilization it is important that we cultivate an environment where eddie diaz can do no wrong to counter the negative forces. also because he can do no wrong. cosigned by our leader buck buckley
