"your smile brings me so much joy." also this from the prompt list, if it sparks joy? 🥺👉👈
hi april ❤️ @lostinabuddiehaze also requested this one, hope you and kel like it. It's not totally a confession but close enough? 😌 yes i know you basically supplied the idea for the call yourself but you didn't know it was for this prompt sooo
When Buck imagined them finally talking about this, or even starting that conversation, he didn't think it'd be at a call. Perhaps that was naive of him to think, considering they spend a lot of time at work.
Christmas is nearing, which means that they get called out to a lot of calls from people trying and failing to decorate their house, and this time is no exception.
Honestly, all Buck can think about with Christmas coming close is that a year ago he was still with Taylor and Eddie left the 118. Neither of those are things he likes to think about.
"I swear I was being careful," the young woman sniffs as Eddie and Chim help her onto the stretcher. "I just wanted to put it all up before my wife came home because I knew it'd make her smile."
Said wife, who introduced herself as Andy, is standing next to them, looking fond but exasperated, with her hands on her hips.
"You'd think you'd know by now that this is a two-person job, Kate," she retorts. "And if you waited, I could have told you that the ladder wasn't reliable."
Kate—she fell from the ladder when a step cracked, and broke her leg and probably injured her back, bless her—pulls a petulant face but doesn't argue.
"I think it's sweet that you did this because you wanted to make your wife smile," Buck defends her, because he does, and he totally gets it. He'd do anything to put a smile on the face of the love of his life.
Eddie snorts, shaking his head. "Of course you do, this is exactly the kind of stupid thing you'd do."
"Yeah, well, you know your smile brings me so much joy," Buck retorts, and it's supposed to come out as a joke, but he's pretty sure that it ends up being a little too genuine.
"You almost losing your fingers while trying to fix the garbage disposal would not make me smile."
"That was one time!"
Chim, who has been watching their interaction with what seems to be rising amusement, seems to decide to put a stop to their bickering as he says: "You can squabble about that later, boys."
Buck and Eddie both roll their eyes, but they do start moving, the wife walking with them to the ambulance.
"How long have you two been together?" Kate asks, looking up at them from her position on the stretcher.
They share a look and Buck is starting to panic a little, and Eddie seems to be at a loss for words as well.
"They aren't," Hen, who has been watching it all quietly, ends up answering, "but that's because they're stupid."
She and Chim take over the stretcher, and Andy follows them and her wife into the back of the ambulance, leaving Buck and Eddie standing outside.
"So," Eddie says, smiling a little awkwardly, and Buck rocks himself back and forth on the balls of his heels, hands in his pockets. "You like to make me smile, huh?"
"Didn't think that would be news to you."
That puts a thoughtful look on Eddie's face, as if he's trying to remember something, and Buck is holding his breath. God, he's so in love that it's pathetic, and at this point Eddie has to see it, too, right?
"No, I guess not," he answers after a moment, ducking his head as if he's embarrassed about something. "I like it when you smile, too. Because of something I did. I mean, I like to make you happy, because-"
He cuts himself off, looking frustrated. Buck can hear Bobby calling for them from the engine.
"I get it, I feel the same," Buck tells him, and he hopes Eddie means what Buck thinks he means, but maybe he's reading too much into this. If that's the case, this is probably sounding a little too much like a love confession. "We can talk about it later? This feels like a conversation we shouldn't have here."
Eddie nods, and their shoulders bump as they walk back to the engine. When Buck glances to the side, their eyes meet, and Eddie smiles, small and private but with a look in his eyes that makes the hope inside Buck's chest swell ten times in size.

i feel you underneath my tongue, next to every word i should've said by swiftiediaz (@swiftiediaz)
Buddie | 7k | Mature
Eddie can feel the blood, staining his hands, his neck, his face— in his mouth. The coppery taste on his lips makes him want to throw up, it tastes bitter like a future slipping away from his grasp, like words he never said out loud and now might be too late.
I love you, I love you, I love you.
There's blood everywhere and he tries with everything in him to keep it inside Buck but it keeps pouring out of him and Eddie wants to scream, wants to change places with him, wants to kill the man who did this to Buck.
Eddie wants, wants, wants.
or:
( buck gets shot in front of eddie. there's a sense of deja vu in the air— and the universe does, in fact, screams.)

ISOLATED BUCK idc if you’ve told me already tell me more 👁👁
this was one of the most popular ones requested and i’m SO late to respond but here it is!
isolated buck is about a new dispatcher entering the friend group via maddie and chimney, but for some reason, he doesn’t like buck. but he hides his dislike well, and buck is happy that maddie has another friend who is supportive of her and gets along well with chimney as well and doesn’t wanna take that away from them. so he chooses to ignore the friend. until things take a turn 🫣 this includes all the buckley siblings love, lots of whump, and buddie!

demon possessed buck had me 👀👀👀
oooooh yesssss >:3 i love this one. No idea when i'll actually be able to work on it more. It was heavily inspired by new invention by idkhow, particularly the lyrics:
I can't say no, I'm losing control
I'm having
Bad dreams
And nothing you can say will keep the bad things
Away from me whenever I'm asleep
it's basically Buck's slow decent into madness because he feels like he's losing his mind, waking up in clothes he doesn't remember wearing, in places he doesn't remember going...reeking of booze and other people's cologne and perfume. But here, have a snippet!
By the time they roll up to the crash, Buck still can’t seem to shake the fog that’s settled over him. It feels like a heavy weight pressing down on top of him, keeping his spine bowed and shoulders slumped forward. All of his thoughts feel like they’re percolating through a filter, everything coming to him slowly with only small drips of clarity.
He’s so exhausted.
Deep down to the center of his being he’s exhausted. Buck’s bone aches with it and he allows himself one moment to wallow in it. Tipping his head back against the cab of the truck, Buck lets his heavy eyelids slip close with a shaky sigh. He gives himself until the count of ten before he sits back up, shoving all of his exhaustion down into the pit of his stomach. It feels like all he’s doing lately is shoving everything down. But he still has a job to do. So he shoves it down, and he’ll keep shoving down because what else can he do?
When his boots touch the pavement, Buck steels himself — leaning into the sharp bite of adrenaline in his veins. It’s a familiar feeling and it helps to chase away the fatigue clinging to him like an ill-fitting sweater.

situations, circumstances, miscommunications ( i just may like some explanations ) by swiftiediaz (@swiftiediaz)
Buddie | 4k | Teen
"You didn't know?" Eddie asks, calmer but not less confused. He frowns. "How could you not know?"
"You never said anything?" Buck tilts his head to the side. "We were dating?”
“I guess not,” Eddie sighs. His heart is beating a little faster, an unpleasant buzz beneath his skin as he all but chokes on a feeling he can’t quite name— it could be hurt or disappointment or maybe a mix of both.
In that moment, he knows three things very clearly. 1. Buck is going to be the death of him. 2. He is in love with the most dense, most oblivious man on planet Earth. 3. He is too gay and, honestly, too old for this shit.
or:
from the prompt: We're best friends and have been dating for over a month now but you won't kiss me so should we just break up and just be friends? But turns out you didn't know we were dating
