Fake Dating/Didn't Know They Were Dating Fic's (Part 1)
The following are some buddie fanfiction involving fake dating, or the characters realizing they've been partners all along.
Tumblr media
What If I Fall In Love Backwards? by RedRidingStiles 
9-1-1 (TV)  
"I feel like we should go save him," Chimney said as he and Hen loaded their drunk and injured patient into the back of the ambulance (day drinking and balconies do not mix), nodding his head towards the small swarm of college girls surrounding a highly uncomfortable Buck. "And by we I mean you, Eddie." "Yeah I got this," Eddie reassured, cupping one hand around his mouth before shouting, "Hey Buckley!" "What's up, Hot Stuff?" Buck called back, his eyes holding crystal blue relief as they met Eddie's across the lawn. Eddie tried to bite back his amused smile but didn't succeed when his next words had Buck grinning like a complete fool. "You. Me. Tonight. Wear something pretty." "Edmundo Diaz, are you trying to ask me out on a date?"
 —or—
five Times Buck and Eddie saved each other by pretending to be together and the one time Christopher helps
Language: English Words: 9,879 Chapters: 1/1
baby, say you'll always keep me by hattalove
9-1-1 (TV)  
“Yeah,” Eddie says, and the darkness behind his eyelids takes on a white edge. “Be good. Nice to be married,” he yanks on Buck’s t-shirt, “best friend.” Finally, Buck takes a breath that sounds off somehow, but he laughs too, and that sounds normal, Eddie thinks. A normal laugh. “Sure, Eds,” he says, and there’s his hand in Eddie’s hair again, a puff of breath on the crown of Eddie’s head like Buck leaned in to press a kiss there and then stopped, but why would he stop—“I’ll marry you if you remind me tomorrow.”
—or—
The one in which joking about being married to your best friend is all fun and games, right up until you realize that you're not laughing.
Language: English Words: 8,251 Chapters: 1/1
I Hate Accidents (Except When We Went From Friends to This) by morganofthefairies 
9-1-1 (TV)  
“You should just move in,” Eddie said one night.  They were already laying in bed, Buck’s face half-buried in his pillow. “Where would I sleep, Eddie,” Buck deadpanned, sleep heavy in his voice. “Here,” Eddie said, not entirely sure how Buck missed that part.  “The same place you’ve been sleeping.” Bobby raised an eyebrow when Buck updated his address on all of the necessary paperwork, but Eddie wasn’t entirely sure what the big deal was.
—or—
The story of how Buck and Eddie went about their relationship in entirely the wrong order.
Language: English Words: 7,206 Chapters: 1/1
we could follow the sparks, i’ll drive by markofalover
9-1-1 (TV)  
“Oh! You must be Mr. Diaz!” someone says from behind him, and Buck spins around clumsily, all long legs, to find a woman with a Miss Perez tag stuck to her blouse. She’s smiling politely, white teeth against red lips, and it takes just a second too long to process what she says.
—or—
everyone thinks Buck is the other Mr. Diaz.
Language: English Words: 6,539 Chapters: 1/1
i'd never let you fall and break your heart by autistic_nightfury
9-1-1 (TV)  
Four times Buck and Eddie pretended to be in a relationship so people wouldn't bother them, and the one time they actually were together.

Say Cheese by S_lycopersicum
9-1-1 (TV)  
"Um... anything left to get?" "Snacks for that girl who has diabetes. Amy, Audrey, uh..." "Abby." "Pfff... I'd remember if she was called Abby," Buck half-heard Eddie say, but his focus was on the other end of the grocery store aisle, where at 11pm at night his ex-girlfriend Abby Clark was carefully assessing two different brands of provolone.
Language: English Words: 4,927 Chapters: 1/1
of bake sales and overdue realizations by brewrosemilk
9-1-1 (TV)  
Eddie doesn’t notice it until it becomes a thing that happens even when it’s just him and Buck, without Chris anywhere near them - but even then, he doesn’t find it strange, or give it much thought. Buck is the one who starts ending their phone calls with a quick ‘love you’ but it doesn't take long before Eddie does the same, often beating him to it. It’s never a big deal - most of the time it’s something along the lines of;
‘Hey, can you grab some milk on your way over? We’re out.’ ‘Yeah, yeah, I got it.’ ‘Great, love you.’ ‘Love you.’
Before long, they’re even doing it in texts.
Language: English Words: 4,823 Chapters: 1/1
the secrets we keep (the ones that spill out) by sparegarbage
9-1-1 (TV)  
The 118 is a close-knit family. It’s not surprising given how much time they spend together: endless hours at the firehouse, barbecues on the weekends, the occasional night at the bar. They’re a family, yes... but Buck and Eddie don’t have to tell them everything. They’re allowed their secrets, really, and it’s not… weird. Really, it’s not. It’s just that sometimes the 118 asks too many questions, and sometimes there’s just no good (or clear or logical) way to explain. Exhibit A: How Buck ended up in Eddie’s bed during a sleepover (and how he’s been sleeping there most nights since).
—Or—
Buck and Eddie comfort each other with cuddles, hugs, and kisses (platonically—or so they think).
Language: English Words: 4,624 Chapters: 1/1
With(out) A First Date by firstdegreefangirl
9-1-1 (TV)  
Buck and Eddie become boyfriends. Six months later, they start dating.
Language: English Words: 10,282 Chapters: 13/13
it's always been you by coupe_de_foudre
9-1-1 (TV)  
“What do I normally get from there?” Eddie asks him, chin settled back onto his shoulder. “The kung pao chicken.” he answers almost instantaneously, having all of Eddie’s usual take-out orders memorised by now. It comes in handy for when they need to get food in quick whilst navigating work and Christopher. It’s not weird. He, unfortunately, misses the odd look that Maddie sends him. As well as the way that Hen hides a snicker behind a cough.
Language: English Words: 8,700 Chapters: 6/6

"I wanted to rip those stupid glasses off of you and shove them were the sun-" The camera quickly moved off of Buck before he could finish his sentence.

My Type On Paper by earthstar (startrex)
9-1-1 (TV)  
“She’s pretty,” Chim commentates. Hen snorts. “They’re all pretty. That’s the point.” Chim has his phone hooked up to the TV so they can watch the Love Island premier episode in awkward chunks between calls. They’ve already been interrupted once and they haven’t even seen anyone ‘couple up’ yet—just the intros from the boys, where Buck described himself as looking for a genuine connection while ducking his head and laughing. Hen had cooed over that, talking about how if anyone could find that on a reality show, it would be Buck. Eddie can’t help but agree; Buck has a knack for making people love him. Not that Eddie is speaking from personal experience, or anything.
 —or—
Buck goes on Love Island to get back on the dating scene. For eight weeks, Eddie watches.

vienna waits for you by cleardishwashers
9-1-1 (TV)  
Bobby grins. “I’m proud of you, kid.” “What, for writing on some papers?” Buck snorts. “Bobby, a monkey could do that.” “No,” Bobby says, shaking his head fondly. “For getting your shit together.” He pauses, unsure just how much of his (nearly bottomless) pride he should reveal, and then forges on. “You’ve really grown as a person, Buck. And I’m very lucky to have been able to witness that.”

“What’re you gonna do with that?” Eddie asked, tilting his chin toward the baseball. Evan shrugged. “I dunno. Maybe get it signed? You know the most expensive autographed baseball sold for over one hundred and ninety thousand dollars?” Eddie did not. “I don’t think anyone here’s that famous, but I just like to collect stuff wherever I go, you know?” He didn’t; not really. “Guess I haven’t traveled a lot of places I wanted to take souvenirs from. Bullets don’t exactly make good gifts or antiques. He hadn’t meant to let those words slip out, but something about Evan kept him brutally honest. It was like he couldn’t even tell the guy the simplest white lie. “Yea, guess you wouldn’t.”

fight the break of dawn by glorious_spoon
9-1-1 (TV)  
“Hi, hi, sorry, excuse me,” the guy says. “Weird question, but would you mind doing me a massive favor?”
Eddie squints at him. It’s not exactly well-lit in here, but he’s still about ninety percent sure that this guy was not with Emilio’s bachelor party when they came in. “Do I know you?”
“Um. No,” the guy says. He’s got wide blue eyes and a nervous smile and a salt-rimmed margarita glass clutched in one large hand. As Eddie watches, he glances over his shoulder, then hunches down like he’s trying to hide. Given the size of him, it’s more ridiculous than effective. “So this is going to sound completely nuts, and I promise I’ll explain, but can I throw this frozen margarita in your face and call you a jerk?”

Fluff (Hugs/Kisses/Cuddles) Fic's
The following are some of my favourite buddie fanfictions that involve accidental kisses, hugs, and sleepy cuddles!
Tumblr media
(Any new fic's I find that fall under this category will be added to this post, so feel free to check back for edits!)
and i feel just like i want to kiss you underneath my mistletoe by oklahoma
9-1-1 (TV)  
“So, you’re telling me,” Ravi starts in, all wide-eyed and giggly like he’s been given a secret he can’t wait to share, “that you’ve never kissed anyone under a mistletoe? Ever?”
Eddie shakes his head. “Nope,” he replies, shrugs, and adds a few extra spoonfuls of sugar to Buck’s coffee before sliding it his way.
-
5 times the team tries to get Eddie and Buck to kiss under the mistletoe and the 1 time they do. Kinda.
Language: English Words: 9,313 Chapters: 1/1
Loud as a whisper, soft as a feather by Klaerenn
9-1-1 (TV)  
“I didn’t have my money on Eddie kissing you after you lovingly rearranged his shirt,” Chim remarks.
Neither did Buck. Then again, he didn't have his money on Eddie kissing him in the middle of the station at all. No matter how sleep-deprived the man was or how brutal the last few days have been on their nerves.
Or after Abuela gets injured, Buck is determined to help Eddie get through the week preceding his flight to El Paso and, in particular, through an intense shift that ends up hacking the last bits of distance separating them.
Language: English Words: 9,785 Chapters: 1/1
kiss me, kiss me (i don't know if i can let you go) by ipretendtobesane
9-1-1 (TV)  
If anyone ever asks- they were both drunk.
Eddie knows they weren’t, he and Buck don’t like to drink during the week, regardless of whether or not they work the next day. If they are working, they don’t want to be out of it on the job, and if they’re not they don’t want to be out of it when Christopher wakes up the next morning at 7:00am with more energy than either of them can handle.
But there’s not really a good explanation otherwise. No other way to explain why, as Buck was walking out the door, Eddie leaned in and gave him a soft kiss goodnight.
Language: English Words: 10,285 Chapters: 1/1
Feels like falling in love by justhockey
9-1-1 (TV)  
It’s just - it’s too much, and not enough, and Eddie isn’t sure if he’s allowed to want more than this, but he does anyway. He wants everything with Buck.
(Or, five times Eddie doesn’t mean to kiss Buck, and the one time he does.)
Language: English Words: 5,245 Chapters: 1/1
if you say it with your hands by hammersmiths
9-1-1 (TV)  
Buck thinks it must be a habit he still hasn’t dropped from his days in the army, or maybe it comes with the territory of being a dad – but Eddie can nap pretty much anywhere.
or, Eddie starts casually falling asleep against Buck, and Buck is very normal about it.
Language: English Words: 9,936 Chapters: 1/1
The Day That Actually Did Get More Ridiculous by R_E_R6
9-1-1 (TV)  
"Any sign of Breaking Bad?" Buck voiced only to receive chuffs from the others before Eddie replied "Nothing yet, think I found the point of origin though. Rug is completely charred between the stash and a nice comfy chair, I'd bet my oxygen tank that the idiot was smoking his own stuff and set the place on fire"
"This story just gets better and better, I don't think this day could get much more ridiculous"
Now Eddie is not very superstitious, but as Buck said these words he could hear his Abuela in his head making proclamations of jinxes. The two had no idea how much more ridiculous this day was about to become.
Language: English Words: 12,869 Chapters: 2/2
Buck's New Normal by Booklover3600

Buck has trouble sleeping after the events of 4x14.

Or Buck and Taylor never kissed, Taylor, May, and Buck are besties, Eddie just wants his best friend to get some goddamn rest, and Chris is confused as to why Buck has his own apartment.
Language: English Words: 8,273 Chapters: 1/1
Close Enough for Comfort by allyasavedtheday 
9-1-1 (TV)  
Their first hug doesn’t happen at the firehouse.
It’s at a bar where they’d decided to get a drink after work. Eddie arrives a little after he does once he drops Christopher off at his aunt’s place and when he joins Buck at the table he pulls him into one of those casual, back-slapping kinds of hugs.
It’s nothing to write home about. It’s friendly, comfortable, but Eddie’s hands are warm on Buck’s back and for the briefest second Buck can feel Eddie’s smile imprinted against his shoulder before it’s over.
He puts it down to missing Abby that he finds himself thinking about it when he’s trying to fall asleep that night.
-
A look at how Buck and Eddie's physical relationship develops from season 2 to season 5 AKA the one with all the hugging.
Language: English Words: 14,074 Chapters: 1/1

Tumblr media
(Any new fic's I find that fall under this category will be added to this post, so feel free to check back for edits!)
There's No Good in Goodbyes by ScribblingArtemis
9-1-1 (TV)  
"'I just need you to take a step back, just for a little bit. It’s not permanent; it’s just until Ana and I can get our feet under us, you know?” Eddie’s eyes were worried but his smile was hopeful. Buck felt sick.
Eddie wanted him to step back, to leave. He was around too much; in their space too much; in their lives too much; always too much. God, Buck really must have exhausted them until Eddie had had enough; he couldn’t tolerate Buck anymore. Buck had to hand it to him; he’d lasted longer than anyone, besides Maddie. Maybe he should tell him that. The last man standing, finally bowing in defeat."
Language: English Words: 5,956 Chapters: 1/1

You'd be good to me (and I'd be so good to you) by RoisinDubh86
9-1-1 (TV)  
“I broke up with Ana,” Eddie says and swallows down the lump in his throat. “And now Christopher is sad, or mad, I don’t know, I just – I let him down, Buck, and I think – fuck.” He wipes at his eyes. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have –“ “I’ll be right there.” That’s it. Eddie listens to the silence for a few more heartbeats. Part of him thinks that he shouldn’t have called Buck. He’s a grown man, he’s been a father for ten years; he can do this. The other part of him realizes that just the thought of Buck makes him breathe easier. --- Eddie has finally found the courage to break up with Ana. Now Chris is upset, something is obviously troubling Buck, too, and Eddie still has to figure out where his heart is leading him to.

Tumblr media
(Any new fic's I find that fall under this category will be added to this post, so feel free to check back for edits!)
All the Things We Already Knew by jupiterfics
9-1-1 (TV)  
It's the smoke that wakes him, seeping into his apartment not ten minutes after he finally knocks off.
He's off the couch in half a second, heart pounding with adrenaline, at the kitchen counter before he even realizes that the familiar smell in his nose is burning insulation.
There isn't any alarm going, no sprinklers on, no neighbors screaming or doors banging open, but Buck knows.
"9-1-1," says a vaguely familiar voice on the other end of the phone once he punches in the numbers. "What's your emergency?"
Language: English Words: 21,640 Chapters: 1/1
Dreaming Through the Noise by maybeamystery
9-1-1 (TV)  
To his right, he sees the familiar railing of his loft; to his left, the staircase appears. Eddie sucks at the pulse point just under Buck’s jaw, and Buck shivers as his eyes trail somewhat hazily over the rest of his bedroom furniture. But then he realizes his TV is gone. Why the hell is his TV gone? Buck opens his mouth to ask Eddie if he knows, and—
—he wakes up—
—to a rain shower over his bed.
[Buck is sick. His family takes care of him.]
Language: English Words: 8,181 Chapters: 1/1

Natural Instinct by inkinmyheartandonthepage
9-1-1 (TV)  
Buck drives Eddie and Chris to the airport and, on instinct, he kisses Eddie goodbye.
OR
“Oh shit,” Buck whispered out. His head swam as he stared unseeing, the moment he said goodbye to Eddie stuck on a loop inside his brain – cupping the back of Eddie’s head, fingers sliding into his hair and dragging him forward for a kiss.
“Buck? What’s wrong?” Bobby demanded, stilling his movement in the kitchen.
“I kissed him,” Buck swallowed, his voice barely above a whisper. “I kissed Eddie goodbye and told him I loved him.” He turned slowly to look at Bobby, hands shaking. “Oh fuck, Bobby what have I done?”
Language: English Words: 7,927 Chapters: 1/1
no grave can hold my body, i’ll crawl home to him by Sapphic_terror
9-1-1 (TV)  
Buck didn’t believe in much, not in God and certainly not in his parents. But for some inexplicable reason, he believed in the utter goodness of Eddie Diaz.
It started with a grenade in a man’s chest. It started with jokes during shift and the absolute love and adoration on his face when Christopher was around. It started with the way he made everyone feel at ease, the bloody and injured people he was helping, those working alongside him, anyone and everyone.
It started with a million little, bright things, but Buck has always been - oblivious. So he finally realized it, the trust he had, the love he had for Eddie in the worst moment. With a gun to his throat and a very angry man talking calmly in his ears.
-
Buck and Eddie have always been inevitable, they just needed a shove, or a near death experience, to figure things out

There’s a quiet determination to his step when he walks into the locker room that morning, but any and all thoughts he had come to a grinding halt as he takes in the scene before him. Buck is sitting on the bench, back to him, and blowing out air slowly like he’s bracing himself for something. That something turns out to be putting on a shirt.
He lifts his arms a fraction and immediately drops them with a hiss, movement tugging at the vicious splotch of purple and blue bloomed over the right side of his lower back.
OR
A close call on the side of the freeway has Eddie reevaluating his relationship with Buck, particularly how strained it's become due to Eddie's anger since the lawsuit. Some domestic love and more than a few heart to hearts have Eddie confessing things he should have a long time ago.
Language: English Words: 8,530 Chapters: 1/1
sometimes an onion really is just an onion (and that’s all there is to it) by snarkymuch
9-1-1 (TV)  
“Shit, shit, shit,” he cursed as he gripped the wrist of his injured hand, holding it above his heart. The cut wasn’t massive and, by design, not something you could stitch, but that didn’t make it any less messy or risky.
The blood thinners were not his friend right now.
A singular river of red trailed down his forearm to his elbow, then dripped onto the floor, leaving little splatters that his shoes soon smeared against the tile.
“Towel, towel, towel,” he said, spinning on his heel, gaze raking the room frantically. “Fuck—shit, there you are.”
-
Buck wanted fajitas, so he went to the store for the sweet onions he needed, but he got the wrong kind because he unexpectedly ran into the team, which had nothing to do with why he was crying in his kitchen--obviously, the shitty onions were to blame.
And his day just gets worse from there--as he ends up fileting off a strip of skin, bleeding everywhere, then accidentally hitting his talk-to-text and sending a ramble he never meant anyone to hear to the last person on earth to care: Eddie.
Language: English Words: 5,416 Chapters: 1/1
after everything i must confess (i need you) by Ink_Dancer
9-1-1 (TV)  
After the lawsuit gets resolved, Buck and Eddie get stuck in an elevator during Buck's first shift back. Buck, stung by Eddie's icy behavior, forces Eddie to talk to him.

it’s okay by itsmylifekay
9-1-1 (TV)  
Finally back with the team, Buck isn’t going to let anything tear him away again. He has to prove his place, his part in the family, even if that means smiling through the pain.
Or, Buck gets hurt on a call and doesn’t tell anyone.
Language: English Words: 11,087 Chapters: 1/1
Rubble by Hpdm20
9-1-1 (TV)  
Taylor broke up with him a month ago and he hadn’t told anyone, not because it was a secret, but because he hadn’t gotten the chance to talk to them. It reminded him so strongly of the time after the bombing that he wanted to cry. How easily forgettable he was. Apparently punchable, as well. He’d been punched before; it came with the job as a bartender or when he tried out for Navy SEALS. Even his dad had gotten in a few good ones when he disobeyed to get their attention. None of the people who punched him mattered. Not like Chimney did. His brother, someone he loved. But maybe Buck’s love just wasn’t enough. Not to stop people from leaving or from wanting him gone.
OR: Buck is badly hurt when the floor of a building caves in. Eddie talks to him through dispatch and Chim finally apologies.
Language: English Words: 5,947 Chapters: 1/1
this love is alive (back from the dead) by Ink_Dancer
9-1-1 (TV)  
Maddie's panicked call. Eddie standing in Buck's empty apartment. A needle in his neck. Buck, now, on the table in front of him, unconscious. "Hi, Eddie," said Jonah.
or: buck and eddie in the hen and chim situation from 5x17 "hero complex."
Language: English Words: 5,323 Chapters: 1/1
your heart beats my blood (my breath fills your lungs) by Yavilee 
9-1-1 (TV)  
They break the surface at the same time and she is coughing and gasping, but she’s breathing and she’s alive and that’s all that matters. The elation bubbles sweet at the back of Eddie’s throat and he turns, grin already stretching up into his cheeks, expecting to meet Buck’s equally triumphant gaze. He’s met with only water, the surface still and unbroken except for the waves Eddie is kicking into existence. It takes barely a second for his lungs to go tight with the realization that something is wrong, so very very wrong. * Or the one where there is a car accident, Buck almost drowns and Eddie fights to keep him alive.
Language: English Words: 9,225 Chapters: 1/1
Buy Back the Secrets by allyasavedtheday
9-1-1 (TV)  
He casts his gaze to the right, to the voice he’d heard a minute ago and the hand still on his shoulder.
And, well. Okay. So Buck may have just been unconscious for an indeterminable length of time but he doesn’t think he’s exaggerating when he says the guy leaning over his bedside is one of the most attractive people he’s seen in a long time. Especially when his face splits into a smile that rivals the brightness of the hospital lights that almost just fucking blinded Buck a second ago.
“Welcome back, hotshot,” the guy says and it sounds fond – familiar – and Buck honestly has no idea who this guy is.
His brown hair is dishevelled on top of his head and his eyes look tired but then Buck notices the LAFD t-shirt so- alright. Someone from the firehouse, maybe? But he’s pretty sure he’d remember a face like that.
-
After getting hurt on a call, Buck wakes up thinking it's 2018. AKA Buck can't remember who Eddie is but he's pretty sure everyone's lying when they say they're "just friends."

Exhale by themandylion
9-1-1 (TV)  
Buck’s Jeep gets stolen, which is a pretty shitty way to start the day. The 118 answer a collision and find said Jeep on fire, a deceased driver inside, which is arguably an even worse way to start the day. Or, a wildly indulgent "i thought you were dead" idea that wouldn't leave me alone.

Angst (Well/Shooting Era) Fic's
The following are some of my favourite buddie fanfictions that involve angst, focusing on S4/S5's well/shooting.
Tumblr media
(Any new fic's I find that fall under this category will be added to this post, so feel free to check back for edits!)
i'd be in pieces on the floor (forever winter) by archerincombat, catchingpapermoons
9-1-1 (TV)  
“You’re tired,” Eddie repeats, and Buck nods. “You’ve been ‘tired’ for weeks.”
“I’m not sleeping well,” Buck counters with a shrug. Eddie frowns.
“Why not?” he asks. “Is there something…” Eddie trails off like he’s not sure what to say. As if Buck knows the answer.
Language: English Words: 5,738 Chapters: 1/1
the light's been out though, baby by hattalove
9-1-1 (TV)  
He still gets stuck in it sometimes: the absolute silence after the shot, and time so, so still in that endless second when Eddie’s eyes met his. When the air turned cool against the skin of Buck’s face because there was something else, now, something warmer, sticky in his eyelashes, pooling at the corner of his mouth. Staining him in a way that will never, never come out, all in the time it took to remember how to breathe again.
It didn’t happen fast at all. There are days when Buck wakes up and thinks it might still be happening.
And Eddie is—Eddie won’t—Eddie—
or, six months after the near-fatal shooting of a member of the LAFD, footage of the incident surfaces on social media.
Language: English Words: 15,849 Chapters: 1/1
All These People Think Love's for Show, but I Would Die for You in Secret by greensenne
9-1-1 (TV)  
"I think it might have been better for him if I was the one who got shot," Buck had told him in the hospital.
He’d neglected to mention that it almost had been.
Or, Eddie doesn’t remember much about getting shot, and he definitely doesn’t remember Buck endangering himself to save him. When a video of the incident surfaces months later and Eddie learns the truth—needless to say he isn’t pleased. Important conversations ensue.
Language: English Words: 6,930 Chapters: 1/1
don't let the tide come and wash us away by writerforlife
9-1-1 (TV)  
Buck develops a relationship with the ocean, avoids talking about the day Eddie was shot, realizes he might be in love, and drives.
Order may vary.
(a fic for the "Buck is going to break all the way down in season 6" truthers)
Language: English Words: 23,869 Chapters: 3/3
Overcome by Spicysauce
9-1-1 (TV)  
“I’m not leaving you, Buck.” Eddie says with a tired sigh, like he’s struggling with the weight of the world and Buck’s the one who put it there. “Just switching jobs, that’s all.”
That’s all?, Buck wants to scream, because every relationship he has is tied to the job in some way, and first Maddie left, and then it was Chimney, and now it’s Eddie. But he doesn’t scream, because that would be a little bit too tragic, even for him, and nods instead. Bites his tongue. Pretends that he isn't falling apart where he's stood.
Or, set post season 5A, where Buck is alone, and angry, and exhausted, but mostly terrified that everyone he loves is slowly slipping away from him.
Language: English Words: 53,697 Chapters: 10/10
you were never mine by woodchoc_magnum
9-1-1 (TV)  
Set immediately post 5x10 'Wrapped in Red', in which Eddie is leaving the 118, and Buck is floundering in the aftermath of his decision.

Been Holding My Breath, Been Counting Till Ten (over something you said) by ChasetheWindTouchtheSky
9-1-1 (TV)  
“No getting out of it now.” Bobby’s steady voice makes him flinch.
“We literally haven’t moved.”
“You could run,” Bobby says with a shrug. “But then you’d have to deal with Athena.” He steps into the RV.
Turning around, Buck sees Athena standing at the doorway, her hand still in the air. When she catches his eye, something in her expression shifts. He’s seen that expression before. Typically, she uses it on people who are about to flee arrest.
I fucking dare you.
Sighing, Buck gets on the RV.
-
After a call that is almost his last, Buck is having a hard time. He’s avoids his family, his friends, and everything in between. When Bobby suggests they go on a road trip, he almost laughs. But what’s worse? He actually says yes.
Or: The Post 5A recovery road trip fic literally no one asked for, but I wrote anyway.

Angst (Tsunami/Lawsuit Era) Fic's
The following are some of my favourite buddie fanfictions that involve angst, focusing on S3's tsunami/lawsuit.
Tumblr media
(Any new fic's I find that fall under this category will be added to this post, so feel free to check back for edits!)
To Find Solid Ground by comebacknow
9-1-1 (TV)  
Time heals. At least that's what they say. So that's what Buck repeats to himself.
Language: English Words: 6,718 Chapters: 1/1
a (not so) stary night by an_amalgamation_of_things
9-1-1 (TV)  
One day, after the lawsuit, and before everyone has explicitly made up, Buck goes and watches the ducks. Eddie finds him and eventually they talk
Language: English Words: 5,822 Chapters: 1/1
Healing Through Love by 1_MadHat_1
9-1-1 (TV)  
Because of the lawsuit Buck has been struggling in every possible way, but when he is at his worst he gets a call from Chris' school and it changes everything.

Language: English Words: 9,831 Chapters: 1/1
Not Alone by datleggy
9-1-1 (TV)  
Prompt: after the drama with the lawsuit Buck is back but the team are cold and distant or even hostile. Buck tries not to let it get to him but he misses them, especially Eddie who just glares at him. This treatment slowly starts to ware down Buck’s hope that they would all reconcile eventually. It leads to Buck either asking for a transfer or doing something worse. Either way the team, especially Bobby and Eddie realize they let things fester to long. Put as much angst into this as you can!
Language: English Words: 6,924 Chapters: 1/1
Fall On Me by FandomLife54
9-1-1 (TV)  
“Excuse me, sir? Are you Mr. Kishimoto?” The man doesn’t so much as blink. “Right. I was afraid you’d say that.” In one short huff and the very distant gasps of the crowd below, Buck stretches a leg over his own balcony, balancing himself on the edge. That gets the man’s attention.
OR
With things no longer the same after the lawsuit, Buck decides that he needs to leave LA. Before he does, though, the team answers a call to rescue a jumper. Buck's heart-to-heart with the man sets off a mess of reactions that just might convince him he still has a home at the 118.
Language: English Words: 8,344 Chapters: 1/1
what if i surrender (and give in) by chthonicheart
9-1-1 (TV)  
“'Hey, man'?” Eddie repeats, and the weight of disbelief in his tone is the only thing that drowns out the latent anger. “Really? Why the hell are you even here, Buck?”

a leaf falls on loneliness by iimpossible_things
9-1-1 (TV)  
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.
Language: English Words: 11,163 Chapters: 1/1
I would mind by MyArtificialFlowers
9-1-1 (TV)  
He should be scared.
The thought passes through Buck’s mind and it’s true but he doesn’t feel a thing. There is a gun pressed against his head and Bobby looks terrified even if he’s hiding it well. Hen and Chimney look scared as well, looking up at him, frozen, from where they’re kneeled beside the kid. And Eddie, well, he doesn’t look scared exactly, but he looks angry and at least that is a feeling. It’s more than the numbness that is wrapping itself around every inch of Buck.
or
Buck is depressed and when his life is threatened during a call, things sort of slip out in the aftermath

Tread Lightly by an_alternate_world

Healing after a truck bombing, breakup, pulmonary embolism, tsunami and lawsuit is a slow process when you're afraid to talk to your team when it feels like the world is crumbling in on you. Finding your way out of the crippling darkness is a lonely process when you're afraid you'll get benched again for something beyond your control. Learning to love again is a terrifying process when you're not sure your best friend will ever truly forgive you.

Supernatural (Creature) Fic's
The following are some of my favourite buddie fanfiction that involve supernatural creatures like werewolves, vampires, and others.

Scratch and Burn by JessicaMDawn
9-1-1 (TV)  
Christopher scratches Buck during the tsunami, but the rest of the debris hurts a lot more and Buck thinks nothing of it. The next day, however, Buck experiences a lot of changes that he doesn't know how to handle. Luckily, Eddie is there to help him through it.
Language: English Words: 14,369 Chapters: 3/3
fly into the moon by hishn_greywalker
9-1-1 (TV)

Language: English Words: 10,833 Chapters: 1/1
to be found by ZainClaw
9-1-1 (TV)  
After being mistreated by his alpha for the last time, Buck abandons his pack and heads for the city where he’s found by Eddie - another werewolf who’s nothing like the ones Buck is used to.

Language: English Words: 71,328 Chapters: 7/7
What makes a Pack? by InsaneJuliann

"That's cheating," and Hen lives by the spoken rules of the wager.
--- The 118 is a prolific, all supernatural station. They face the hardest of calls for this reason, but they're curious about what species Buck is from the start. When they find out, it's a complex navigation to keep him where he belongs.
Language: English Words: 6,438 Chapters: 1/1
fear will be your enemy by BabyGenius
9-1-1 (TV)  
Buck knew Eddie was a wolf from the minute he caught his scent. Now, if anyone asks, the reason he was being a dick was exactly the reason he gave to Eddie. It was not because he was insecure, or, even worse, because Eddie is a wolf and Buck is a cat (a big cat, but still). Buck has minimal issues with dogs, but Eddie was also an unknown were on his territory.
Buck’s a werecreature but the rest of the 118 thinks he’s a clueless human.

take my hand, I’ll lead you through by soyxunxperdedor
9-1-1 (TV)  
He’s filthier than he was after the well. Eddie is crouched in front of him, half naked and alive, alive, alive, and all Buck can focus on is the dirt caked onto his skin so thickly that he’s not sure he’d recognize him if it was anyone else.
-or-
A week after Eddie’s truck is found wrecked without him inside, Eddie returns, but there’s something different about him.

Supernatural (Ghost/Other) Fic's
The following are some of my favourite buddie fanfiction that involve supernatural elements like ghosts, psychics, or unspecified magic.

like when the sun came out by spaceprincessem
9-1-1 (TV)  
He completely pulls the charger from the wall as he fumbles to put in his passcode. He doesn’t know who to call first. Everyone is busy, carrying on with their lives and Buck is stuck here in the loft with the terrifying ghost of his childhood like an omen. Out of the corner of his eye he catches the Crooked Smiled Man now standing in the dark entrance way to his bathroom. He swallows around the taste of blood in his mouth, hands shaking, useless as his list of contacts blur beneath the burn of tears.
Eddie Eddie Eddie
He doesn’t know where the feeling comes from, but it’s sudden and sharp and excruciating. Eddie is the first name at the top of his list, his most recent calls and texts, and he doesn’t hesitate to hit the call button.

The Ghosts That You Haunt by JessicaMDawn
9-1-1 (TV)  
The first time Evan Buckley died, he was ten.
"Apparently that won me a ticket to ghost town, because I've been seeing them ever since."

Eddie does rideshares to make ends meet before starting at the fire academy. He keeps getting this one glitching fare.
Language: English Words: 9,379 Chapters: 1/1
and what if in your sleep, you dreamed by renecdote for Nearly 
9-1-1 (TV)  
The thing is, Buck had been doing well with his dreams. Nine out of ten nights, he wasn’t bringing back anything that he didn’t want to. But: head injury, mostly. The trauma of it all, probably.
That night, Buck goes to sleep in Eddie’s bed and wakes up holding his car keys.
It’s—it could be worse. After the tsunami, he kept waking up with his sheets full of sand, soaked through and shivering. After Eddie was shot, he’d wake up with blood in his mouth, choking on the taste of it. When Maddie was gone, hiding herself away in Boston, and he missed her so much it ached, Buck had to fight against his mind not to bring her back from his dreams. That would have been hard to explain: waking up in bed with Taylor on one side and a carbon copy of his missing sister on the other. Car keys, at least, can be hidden.
Except it’s not just the car keys.
Buck was born with the ability to take things out of his dreams. It's not as much fun as you'd think.
For BTHB: wound that would not heal

Language: English Words: 14,211 Chapters: 1/1
With Great Power Comes Great Pining by Princessfbi
9-1-1 (TV)  
It was the lightning strike. That had to be it. It was the only logical conclusion. Though, when it comes to being able to suddenly read people’s minds, Buck supposed there wasn’t a whole lot of logic involved.
Well… Not people. Just... One person’s mind.
Just… Eddie’s mind. 
Language: English Words: 10,485 Chapters: 1/1
Death is the Road by JessicaMDawn
9-1-1 (TV)  
Growing up, Buck got hurt a lot. It wasn't intentional, but It got his absent parents to pay him attention. But then he got hurt, bad. But he got back up. And while traveling on his own he got hurt, bad. But he got back up. Until he realized it wasn't luck. It wasn't a fluke.
He couldn't die.
What was he supposed to do with that?

9-1-1 (TV)  
“You know, being stuck here isn’t actually the end of the world,” Chimney says, coming up to the table and picking up one of the smoke detectors. “It just feels like it, Buck. Trust me, I know.” “I’m pretty sure it might actually be the end of the world,” Buck says. “Considering this is the sixth time I’ve lived this day.” Chimney stares at him for a beat and then his eyebrows lift. “Wait, are you like – dude, are you in Groundhog Day?”

9-1-1 (TV)  
Eddie noticed it like this;
Sometimes, when Buck’s done a day too many times, he forgets that this day might be the real day, the one that continues on into the rest of his life. It’s exhausting dying and waking up just to go die again. And the thing was, when a death was to do with work, he knew he could just ask to be man behind, or not go into work, but - but who would he be condemning to die in his place if he didn’t go in and try to avoid it? Maybe no one, yes, but maybe someone.
Buck repeats days until he doesn't die in them, has an underdeveloped sense of self worth, and Eddie is the one who wants to step in with him.

“Well, I die,” Eddie comments idly, not sounding as offended as he maybe should be. “Haven’t you heard? I’m always dying.”

Eddie shrugs, not really agreeing or disagreeing. It’s a few seconds before he says, eyes still closed, “Maybe I’m here so you’re not alone.”

darling, the future's better than yesterday by rarakiplin (gmontys)
9-1-1 (TV) 
Eddie, ten years younger, in this awful 2010, blinks up at him. He's still sitting slumped on the curb, and for a second Buck thinks he might tell him to fuck off, but then his eyes fall shut and there’s something — aching and painfully vulnerable in the bend of his mouth, the faint tension in his brow. “My…um, girlfriend, I guess. She’s pregnant.”
“Holy shit,” Buck says.
or, buck deals with some wonky dimensional/time travel and then breaks up with his girlfriend. eddie, obviously, is involved.

I should go and find myself (before I ruin someone else) by MonsterRae1 for heartbeatdiaz
9-1-1 (TV) 
The place was creepier than Buck remembered it from a few weeks ago, he was noticing scribbles on the walls, and sigils he was sure it hadn’t been before, even the tarot reader looked a little different, Buck was sure her eyes hadn’t been such a vibrant green last time, or her smile as sharp as this time around. “You’re a lost one, aren’t you?” She said, her hand reaching out to touch his arm, Buck backed away from her cold touch “Yeah, yeah, you’re lost, but don’t worry, everything you’re looking for is right in front of you, you’ll need to look inwards before you can find it” He frowned, “Wouldn’t I have to look outwards? If its in front of me?” She shook her head “You’re blinding yourself; you have to remove the blind. It has to come from within” * Feeling more lost than ever, and after a weird run into an odd Tarot Reader, Buck wakes up in a universe where he has been dead for a year, and in order to go home, he needs to find what he's been missing to be happy.

dream sweet of me by spaceprincessem for Underhung_Aura
9-1-1 (TV)
“You okay?”
Buck freezes, heart jumping right up to his throat. He turns a little too quickly, nearly knocking him off balance before a hand shoots out, wrapping around his bicep to steady him. Buck blinks up at Eddie and all the fight bleeds out of him as he throws himself into Eddie’s arms.
“Oh god,” he wheezes as he chokes back a sob, “Eddie, I—I’m so sorry!”
He feels Eddie’s hands — strong, steady, and warm — wrap around him before he is unceremoniously shoved backwards. Buck feels all the air punch out of his lungs when his back hits the firetruck.
“Who the hell are you?”
Buck’s mouth falls open as he looks at Eddie. As he looks at the person that knows him better than anyone else in the world. The person that he loves with every fiber of his being. He looks at Eddie and realizes that Eddie has no idea who he is.
[or buck is in an accident and wakes up in a universe where the 118 don't know who he is]
