Buddie Hiatus Fic Recs - Month 4 August 16 - Sept 15

I think is my favourite rec list for this little project so far. It has some of my all time favourite Buddie fics on it, fics that I've read over and over again because they just bring me so much joy.

Previous lists linked at the bottom!

0-5k

here (in your arms) by devirnis / @devirnis Explicit | 2.3k I have had THE WORST day. When I finally get home, I’m going to pass out and sleep like a rock, and then I want to wake up with you inside me.

the art of peeling mandarins for the one you love by oklahoma / @sunshinediaz Teen | 3.9k Buck asks Eddie to marry him in the kitchen, of all places.

5k-10k

but i've got my teeth in you by oklahoma / @sunshinediazTeen | 5.5k bad things happen bingo—tooth knocked out

you're the cream in my coffee by 42hrb Explicit | 8.6k Buddie coffee shop AU where everything is different, but they’re still idiots in love

wood you be mine? by MonsterRae1 / @monsterrae1 Mature | 9k the Lumberjack Buck fic.

10k-20k

With Great Power Comes Great Pining by Princessfbi / @princessfbi Teen | 10.4k 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.

endless numbered days by Daisies_and_Briars / @cal-daisies-and-briars Gen | 13.1k When a big event in the lives of the members of the 118 falls on the same weekend as Bobby's late son's birthday, Bobby finds himself reflecting on grief, fatherhood, and life after loss.

The Scroll of Saint Barnabas by Amiril / @runawaymarbles Mature | 15k The day of the shooting, Eddie got stuck in a time loop. But that was three months ago. He's completely fine now.

Say Yes, and Figure It Out Afterwards by catwalksalone Explicit | 13.3k Buck and Eddie figure out a mutually beneficial way to deal with the first responder post-trauma cycle of up-horny-down.

Share the Joy by TalkNerdyToMe6 Teen | 14.2k After the lightning strike, Buck discovers he has more than just the ability to do long division in his head. Every time he touches Eddie, everything the other man is feeling moves through him like a wave of emotion, there and gone again. Buck can’t decide if that’s a blessing or a curse.

20k - 30k

light through the wave tips by bvckandeddie (zukkababey) / @bvckandeddie Explicit | 21.9k When Buck and Eddie planned a vacation with their kids over a year ago, they hadn’t exactly planned on bringing a seven-month-old baby along with them. Surely wrangling three kids can't be too much of a challenge—that is, if it weren't for Christopher's steadily worsening mood.

Cutting The Ties That Bind by kristen999 / @thekristen999 Mature | 34.4k Evan Buckley was a businessman, he had meetings and deadlines like everyone else. Sometimes he used intimation. While using the very same tactics he was trying to end while converting his family business into legitimate operations was a little hypocritical, it was the results that mattered.

Occasionally, he got threatened, but it was usually all hot air and ego. That all changed the day his breaks were tampered with. Enter Eddie Diaz, security specialist, who was not easily impressed by Buck’s expensive suits or financial conquests. That was okay. Buck enjoyed a challenge.

30k +

family (portrait) by ProsperDemeter / @prosperdemeter2 Teen | 45.1k realizing that the family that you need has been beside you all along.

like a dog with a bird at your door by fleetinghearts / @shitouttabuck Explicit | 51.1k evan “i love you like a dog” buckley has only ever known how to love like, well, a dog, but maybe eddie diaz is the kinda guy to give a flea-bitten mongrel a forever home

Being Eddie by Daisies_and_Briars / @cal-daisies-and-briars Teen | 79.8 Eddie goes through the time travel therapy process of the 2009 Canadian TV show Being Erica

what a heart can do by bvckandeddie (zukkababey) / @bvckandeddie Teen | 85.5k In which Buck becomes the guardian of the daughter he never knew he had. Together, they discover what happiness truly means to them.

Month 1 (May 15 - June 15) Month 2 (June 16 - July 15) Month 3 (July 16 - August 15)

This line from the story of An's 4 star card for Same Dreams Same Colours means so much to me.

It shows that An doesn't just care for Kohane, but Vivid Bad Squad as a whole. She wants to continue growing with the three of them, not just as a singing group but as friends and people. She wants to have camping trips, she wants to spend time with them because she genuinely enjoys their company.

It's something I don't think is often brought up with Vivid Bad Squad. Yes they are a group of talented street performers trying to surpass a legend, and yes at the beginning they had a messy start, but they've moved past that. They rely on each other as a group, not as two pairs. My favourite parts of their story up until now have been the moments where they all show how much they care for each other. When Akito looks out for the other three. When Kohane reassures An she wants to sing with her. Toya is excited to go on a camping trip with all three of them. An being the one to originally suggest they team up.

There is also the feeling of loneliness I feel like each of them has felt at some point. An declined so many people for so long because none of them believed in her dream. Akito felt for a while he would never be able to stand with the three of them and has grown within a household where the belief of "if you don't have talent don't try" is incredibly prominent. Toya has had to be alone for most of his childhood with the Tenma's as his only real friends. Kohane's anxiety stopped her from taking risks until she met An. The whole thing about how tight of a community Vivid Street is and how they all find comfort there.

Same Dreams Same Colours might just be my favourite event in the entire game currently solely for how much it shows the four of them being friends. The shopping trip before they go shows the group dynamic perfectly I think. Then there is the bit when they set up the camp and Toya shows An the pepper with so much joy and the others getting to show off each of their skills. Even the bits in the side stories with Kohane's showing the trip home and them looking through the photos a week later and An's having them all peel the mandarins and making art out of them.

I love it when the stories focus on the units all being best friends. This is the Miku Friendship Game, after all. I wish we got to see stuff like this more, both in game and in the fandom.

#project sekai #vivid bad squad #this felt like it derailed so much #i love these kids so much #i hope that after the an's fear of kohane leaving bit is resolved we get another event like this #they could go on a beach trip! let toya learn to swim!#or they could visit a zoo possibly and kohane really wants to see the snakes #just let them be silly together #bagel's rambles
