Summary:

Buck, a house flipper has been (not so) secretly in love with his carpenter, Eddie for years. With the help of Judd, Buck finally comes to his senses and begins to realize that Eddie might have feelings for him too.

OR

When Buck manages to swing the door wide, he pauses, mouth parted slightly as he takes in the man in front of him. Eddie stands on the front porch wearing a utility belt, light washed jeans that had a hole in one of the knees, a shirt that was so tight it should be illegal, and to top it all off there was a pencil tucked behind his ear.

But Buck isn’t staring. Most definitely not (he is).

“Hey,” he says, trying to keep his tone level.

“Hey, Buck,” Eddie smiles, and Buck about loses it. His smile is like sunshine on a cold day, the kind that warms you up inside. If Eddie happened to be anything but straight, which Buck assumes he is, then he would have asked him out on a date ages ago.

OR

Save a horse, ride a cowboy.

Throwback Thursday

No one tagged me but I saw this post and it reminded me of a fic I read that I really had fun reading and figured this Thursday my throwback could be a Fic Rec

This has sex so I’m doubling it as also Thirsty Thursday to which @dickley-buddie tagged me for! Thank you 🖤

I remember reading this fic and having such a good time, I loved house flipping shows when I was a kid so it was fun to read that premise with Buddie, and the additions of the Ryders from LS work very well.

I hope you enjoy this, Mikayla!!

Buck was a nervous wreck. He had been dating Eddie for about seven months and even though those seven months have been amazing, Buck was a complete, nervous wreck because of their date tonight. And Buck normally wouldn't be so nervous, except it was a date on Valentine's Day, his second date on Valentines Day that meant something and Buck...really didn't want anything to go wrong tonight like it did when he had been with Abby.

And Eddie - god bless his boyfriend because even though Eddie knew how nervous Buck was about tonight, he did his best to calm Buck down, his hands pressing down on Buck's shoulders before wrapping around Buck from behind as he helped Buck with his breathing. They were just about to go out to the restaurant when Buck started to panic, started to worry that this could go wrong, and Eddie - God bless Eddie, Buck thinks as he tilts his head back and blinks up at the ceiling of Eddie's living room slowly.

"Everything is going to be alright, Buck," Eddie whispers, lips against Buck's neck that leaves the spot tingling. Buck finds himself turning around, his own arms wrapping around Eddie as he let's out a soft hum before he leans down and kisses his boyfriend. Before they can get too lost in the kiss though, Eddie pulls away from Buck and Buck finds himself frowning gently before Eddie smiles and strokes his cheek.

"We can't be late to our reservation," Eddie whispers and Buck nods, knowing it's true. The reservation had been set up in early November, since the restaurant was wildly popular, and then plans had been made to have Eddie's Abuela watch Chris for the night, something Chris didn't mind too much since he missed his bisabuela. Buck and Eddie had done their best to make sure they didn't work the day and night, and that they didn't agree to anything either, which wasn't easy since no one had been told, mainly because no one knew Buck was dating Eddie - something they both agreed on early in their relationship, wanting something just for themselves first.

But finally, the day was among them and Buck, while incredibly excited, was also incredibly nervous. Because he knew what his luck was like and he really didn't want it to strike at this moment. But Eddie was by his side and Eddie was constantly touching him and doing his best to calm him down and Buck - Buck had absolutely zero qualms about that. If anything, Buck rather enjoyed being constantly reminded that he belonged to Eddie, and that Eddie knew how to help him in moments of stress and worry.

Getting into Eddie's car, Buck slowly did his best to relax, knowing that if he continued to worry about something happening throughout the night, something would actually happen and that was energy that Buck really didn't want to put out there. The drive is slow, music playing lightly from the radio in Eddie's car, the two of them holding hands when Eddie can afford to do so. Eventually though, they arrive at the restaurant and Buck finds himself eternally grateful that he managed to score a reservation because the line up waiting to get in? Incredibly long and insane and not something Buck would want to experience on the night of romance that Valentines was.

The two of them enter the restaurant quickly, Eddie guiding him, a small pressure on the back of Buck's back, something Buck finds himself thrilling over before they're seated. The tables are nicely setup and the chairs are comfortable as Eddie sits in front of him, the two continuing to hold hands in the middle of the table.

Slowly, Buck begins to relax more and more, especially as Eddie and he order their meals, and their drinks and the food and everything else gets delivered. Buck has no idea why he was so nervous, not when Eddie is by his side and Buck can see Eddie arching his eyebrow, almost like he knows exactly what Buck is thinking, which wouldn't be the first time really.

Eventually the two of them begin to eat, grinning at one another as they enjoy the meals they ordered. Just as they're ordering dessert though, Buck finds his name being called by a familiar voice and with wide eyes, he turns behind him to find Maddie and Chimney staring at him from where they stand.

"Oh," he whispers before turning to look at Eddie, his eyebrow arching a little as he silently asks his boyfriend how he would like to proceed. Buck knows it wouldn't be easy to lie their way out of this - not on valentines day, not with how they're dressed, and not with the fact that they're holding hands like lovers that can't let go of one another -- which is, essentially, the actual case between them. But Buck turns towards Eddie just to make sure, and when Eddie nods, Buck finds himself relaxing even more before letting out a grin when he turns towards his sister and Chimney.

"What are you guys--" Chimney begins to ask before stopping with a snort.

"No, that's obvious," he adds before looking towards Buck with a smile. "How long has this been a thing?" He asks instead and Buck finds himself turning towards Eddie with a grin nudging him lightly with his foot.

"Seven months - almost eight" Eddie replies and Buck turns back around towards his sister, smiling at her when she hums thoughtfully.

"Well, I'm glad to see you're happy Buck," She says and Buck nods. It hadn't been easy, especially after their parents dropped by during her pregnancy but --

"Wait, is this why you couldn't watch Evelyn?" Chim asks and Buck can only laugh as he nods, looing towards his boyfriend with his own smile, thankful for the night that they have together, especially with the fact that very soon they're going to have their own news to share about a new child in the Buckley-Diaz family.

What’s your fav WIP right now? Can you post a snippet? 👀

okay well my fave wip is the fic i’m working on for max and i’ve shared quite a bit of that already so... if you don’t mind, i’m going to share a snippet of another fic i’ve been slowly chipping away at:

TK’s words sting against Carlos’ chest. He knows his boyfriend is frustrated. Hell, he would probably be the same way if the roles were reversed. But he can’t seem to let go of the idea that if keeps pushing TK, maybe they can hold onto some sense of normalcy.

However, with TK snapping at him, all hope he has left drains out of his body. He stands there, letting TK’s words hang heavy in the air. He waits for some sort of indication that TK is going to say something else. Anything else. He doesn’t expect an apology, but still finds himself searching TK’s face for any sign that he didn’t mean to hurt Carlos’ feelings.

TK’s gaze holds strong and when more than a few seconds go by in silence, Carlos can feel the emotions beginning to bubble in his chest, threatening to spill out through the tears welling in his eyes.

Not wanting to break in front of TK, he nods before exiting the hospital room and letting the tears fall as soon as he’s out of sight.

fanfic writer friday (ask my anything about my fics:)

for anyone out there wondering “hm i wonder how fern’s writing is going?” this is an actual message i just sent to dear mikayla

happy new years folks lol

@ineedapuppyandsomevodka

ALSO, what are your thoughts on Shannon?

SHANNON DIAZ WAS DONE DIRTY! No, but really. The writers played unreliable narrator on Shannon to make us hate her and then revealed that Eddie caused issues in their marriage too. They let her yell at him about Afghanistan like she was just upset that he was fighting a war rather than being by her side, when really he never told her before he enlisted and made decisions without her. He made mistakes too but they frame it on it’s her fault. Also, I will forever hate the moment after she does the interview with Christopher’s school. I’ve seen women genuinely struggle with the guilt of having a special needs child (while also being at their child’s side) and the way they use it to make Eddie pity her and then they kiss? It wasn’t even relevant moving forward. It never gets mentioned again. But like Shannon shouldn’t have left, but Eddie should’ve considered what she was going through and actually tried talking to her about visiting and helping her mom.  And then there’s my whole 2x17 rant that you can find here.

Buddie, Madney, Tarlos, Abby x Buck (what even is that ship called?) and then Marjan and Paul 💕

1. BUDDIE FOR THE WIN!! They own my heart!! They're like my #1 ship out of all my ships right now! Hopefully we get some GOOD CONTENT IN S4!! 💗💜💙

2. Madney! They are so cute and soft and precious and I love them!! I can't wait for the madney baby!! 🥺

3. I guess Paul and Marjan 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don't watch 911ls so idk! But I've seen the 1st epi and gifs and kinda fell in love with Paul so I love him! And they both are super beautiful people (my bi ass would take both!) So yeah!

4. I guess Tarlos even tho I don't ship it. It had its potential but in my opinion I think they rushed them and developed them too fast without any actual development if that makes sense! Hopefully they do better. (Sorry if I offend anyone who ships them!)

5. Buck x Abby cause NO!! I don't like it! I don't ship it! And I'm glad she's gone and we've washed our hands of her and him! I just don't like how she treated him at all!

Thank you so much for sending me one of these! I really appreciate it! And I gotta say, I freaking love your username! Same! Give me all the puppies and rum instead!

put five characters/episodes/shows/ships/anything in my ask and i'll put them in my order of preference ♥

✨ Mikayla writes (if you’re not doing this for writings, though, dw about it! I’m just bored and scrolling and thought why not 😂)

hi!! yes sure omg 

i such a sucker for canon kinda ✨reimagined✨ and this prompt fill was so good!! i love the idea of there already being history between them and you fit so much into those words, it read so well!!

this prompt fill about buck learning eddie can dance!! it’s short and sweet and so cute, i love it!! this part, ““Can you dance?”“Me? I mean, I have two left feet and one of them got crushed by a ladder truck,” Buck gestures to his bad leg. “That doesn’t mean that I don’t like to dance, though.”” lmfaoooo

screaming @ this prompt fill oh my god. this is just??? so funny?? but also strangely believable. like. i can FEEL eddie’s exasperation lmfao and the characterization is so good!!!

this angsty prompt fill <3 i’m always so sad that buck feels so alone after 3.16 and you did this so well!! like, ““I just want you to know that I always see it as you, me, and Chris. Not just me and Chris. Chris’s world is a lot better with you in it, and you’re always welcome to come over. You don’t even have to ask. You’re apart of my family, even if you don’t think you are.”” is actually what buck needs to hear in canon pls and thank u, i loved this

FAKE DATING. mayhaps one of my favorite tropes of all time!! i loved this one so much!!! i can sum up everything i love about this in these lines, “This is beginning to feel a lot less like Buck playing the role of his boyfriend, and something a little more. Eddie likes it though. He’d be a liar if he said he didn’t like it.” SO good.

+1

I also really liked this part from your christmas series!! so sweet 🤧i loved the banter, this part especially, “Eddie leans in the doorway of the kitchen and smiles at him. "You planning on spending the night?""You planning on kicking me out?" Buck responds easily and hands Eddie one of the beers."Nah, believe it or not, I actually like having you around," he says and takes a swig of his beer.”

Ooooo for gif sets, can we get ones of Eddie and Buck when he gets crushed by the ladder truck? I don’t think I’ve seen any/enough of those.

OMG, this scene breaks my heart! Thanks for the request.

Done here

This is an official Time Out for @ineedapuppyandsomevodka Mikayla you are in time out as of right now!

Sit in the corner and think about what you’ve done!

🌲🐾🌿💜

🌲- what’s something you’ve had since you were a child?

I really had to think about this because my parents aren’t the type of people to keep things that long. I have an American girl doll aka “Kit the American Girl Doll.” It was a gift from my aunt for my birthday!

🐾- have you ever accidentally stolen something?

I have hahahahah when I was 12 or 13 I was at the store with my family and I was trying on a be,t to see if it fit, my parents came over to talk to me and I forgot I had it on. I didn’t realize I had it on till I got home and was changing into my pjs 😆

🌿- what’s a fact about yourself you’ve never had the opportunity to tell?

I genuinely don’t have anything interesting about myself that’s worth sharing 😂 the only thing I can think of is when I was 3 years old I walked out into the street where an old lady almost hit me..

💜- what’s your favorite smell?

Mahogany teakwood from bath & body or the lavender and vanilla aromatherapy from bath and body.

14 and 28 🥰

what’s your coffee order?

Regular coffee is a double double (2 cream/milk and 2 sugar). I usually get iced coffee a little extra sweet because why not. If I’m going fancy though I love me a chai latte...but I don’t think any part of that is coffee unless I get an espresso shot lol PSLs always get extra espresso also

what celebrity would you rate a PERFECT 10?

oh gosh this one is hard D:  on one hand sometimes I straight up weep if I come across a picture of chris evans and haven’t mentally prepared myself. on the other hand if I ever saw gwendoline christie in person I think I would just die on the spot. my heart would just stop.  [ some numbers and questions ]

Light blue and mint for the colors thing

literally everyone is calling me out for being here all the time lmao maybe this is a sign that i need to get off the internet :/ but thank u for the light blue one ily

send me a colour

Happy FWF!!! What’s your favorite WIP right now? Do you have a favorite line from it?

🥰 you’re amazing and I hope you have a great day!

Hi Mikayla - sorry for the late response also! I actually don’t have a favorite WIP right now because the one I’m super excited to write, I haven’t started writing yet, lmao. Thanks for asking!!
