I started to read this fic a weeks ago and now i can’t seem to find it. It’s where buck gets arrested (i remember that being in the summary). And Eddie gets Theo. Buck has to prove his innocence. I think he was accused of harming Theo. Any help is greatly appreciated.
What are your favorite bottom Eddie fics of 2026? I would love to read them. As i believe bottom Eddie Diaz is over.
I believe this is a more recent fic. In the summary it talks about how buck is leaving. Eddie calls him out on it on how you can’t leave when things get hard and then buck brings up how Eddie left for Texas.
Any help is loved and appreciated
I recently read a fic, but for the life of me I cannot remember it or find it. All i know is, there’s a scene where the 118 at a bar? And buck is playing pool and then Tommy comes. I think it was canon events where it’s post Texas. There’s also where Eddie sees their interaction and either hen or Maddie say something.
Any help is greatly loved. I
Something that always gets me when I look back at season 8 is just how buddie pilled it truly was. Looking back 8x06 through 8x13, but for this post I want to focus primarily on 7x04, 8x06 and 8x11 while looking at the larger arc as a whole.
Going back to the TODAY interview Oliver did before 8x11 aired, I think the framing of the question is really important here. Sure, it was Oliver doing a charity basketball tournament and the last time we saw buck playing basketball was 7x04, BUT there was absolutely no reason for the interviewer to bring up Eddie unprompted, specifically in relation to 7x04, Tommy, and Buck’s feelings throughout that entire storyline. The interviewer asks whether there is more to unpack about Buck’s feelings and jealousy surrounding Eddie, and Oliver responds that “those feelings are going to be explored “in a way that is more obvious than kind of has ever been done before on the show.” He even admits that he was surprised by the extent to which they were going to explore them. Again, for someone who has always stated his thoughts on buddie and how it’s “been open for interpretation for years”. Another thing is, 7x04 has been framed as a “bait and switch” but then the interviewer after bringing up 7x04 and there possibility being more undiscovered buck feelings about that journey and Eddie.
Then the interviewer follows up by asking specifically about *jealousy* and Oliver responds with “Not that specifically. But just kind of an exploration of what the feelings are.”*
Now we get to 8x11 and that infamous dialogue
*“I don’t have to want to sleep with everyone I have feelings for, and I don’t have to have feelings for everyone I sleep with.”*
And this is where Oliver’s post interview answers become *very interesting*. He explains in his screen rant interview that he and Tim went back and forth over how intentional the wording should be. That matters.
Because they could have chosen any response to Tommy’s accusation that buck was in love with Eddie. Buck could have simply said “no.” He could have said, “I’m not in love with Eddie.” Rhey could have literally directly denied Tommy’s implication. They deliberately didn’t. They specially also wrote in Tommy *wanting to try again” *AFTER LEARNING* Eddie left LA and viewing him as competition.
Instead, Buck gives an answer that literally exploded everything.
And I love that Oliver himself essentially confirms the larger point of the scene and even the 7x04/8x06 arc. Tommy viewed Eddie as competition throughout his relationship with Buck, and that realization is what prompts Buck to question, “Is that what he was thinking the whole time we were together?” in his conversation with Maddie. That line is especially important because it turns the accusation inward. Buck isn’t just dismissing Tommy’s perception of buddie, he’s actually considering it. Was Eddie’s place in Buck’s life something Tommy had been noticing all along? Was Buck missing something about his own feelings?
And that’s why I think 8x11 works so well when you look at it alongside the entire bi arc and bt relationship. . It feels like the show took the emotional groundwork laid in 7x04/8x06 and folded it back into the buckTommy breakup storyline. It’s basically one giant narrative sandwich. the jealousy and confusion are established, the relationship with Tommy forces Buck to confront what Eddie represents to him, and then 8x11 deliberately leaves the question of what those feelings actually are hanging in the air.And honestly, that’s what makes those interviews so fascinating looking back and reading them. The show wasn’t simply giving us random Buddie adjacent moments. Oliver was explicitly telling us that Buck’s feelings were going to be examined more openly than ever before and then 8x11 gave us dialogue that was carefully constructed around exactly that question.
This was such a crazy day. Because Oliver said this in his favorite buddie scenes regarding the kitchen scene.
*Ah, yeah, this kitchen scene. There’s meant to be, the way that it read to me anyway, it’s a lot of tension. There’s a lot of buildup [to] the point that you’re like, “The heck is about to happen here? Are they gonna fight or what?” And then there’s, like, a smash cut to them playing video games*
But later on different podcast he admitted that he viewed the scene as “*super gay”*. Also what is interesting about his answer is the part where he is “or what”. Because what else is there. That scene is filled with sexual tension. Buck grabbing his belt. Like else we’re viewers supposed to take from that. Even Oliver in the same podcast said Tim went to the writers of the kitchen scene and *asked* do you talk to your best friend like this, and they said *no* which was very telling because it was still included in the script and the way it was shot.
Hey guys. Can you link your favorite buddie fics that include pepa and or Isabel. I love when they are included in fics.
Everyone meet Jeff.
I believe i read this fic years ago so it might not exist anymore. But i remember one of the Diaz sisters moving to LA and being roommates with buck. Does anyone have the fic or remembering potentially reading it?
Thank you.
How do y’all imagine Buddie eventually getting married? Do you see them having a huge ordeal, a grand proposal, big wedding, reception, the whole nine yards. or something much smaller and more intimate, like a firehouse wedding with just the 118 and immediate family.
Another question for everyone. Who do you see being more involved in the planning? I could honestly see buck being the one who gets really exited about all the little details (clipboard buck) and wants to make the day feel special, while i see Eddie as *laid back and letting buck be buck*. I could also see Eddie unexpectedly becoming really invested once he realizes he finally gets to have a say in his own wedding and life.
Because with his relationship with Shannon, Eddie basically eloped at 19 after finding out she was pregnant. He was so young, and their marriage happened because they were suddenly trying to figure out adulthood, parenthood, and their relationship all at once. And the pressure of parents to get married. Eddie never really got the experience of planing a wedding, choosing what he maybe wanted or simply being an active participant in this incredible milestone of his life.
So I kind of love the idea that especially for Eddie, Eddie would actually get to experience that. Not because he suddenly cares about centerpieces or flowers, but because *he finally gets to goose the person, the place and the way they begin their next phase in their life. I think that would end up meaning much more to him than he initially realizes.
I LIVE for fics that have Ravi that have him thinking buddie are *already* either together/married or were together/divorced. I would love if y’all linked your favorite ones. I NEED more.
Trying to find this one specific fic. It’s where the gang is at rhe 118 fire station. Buck is laying down on Eddie “asleep” and he overhears hen asking Eddie “when are you gonna tell him”. If you find this, I’ll forever be grateful.
Usually i read friends to lovers fics but now i want to change it but a bit. Let’s do exes to lovers. Be it they’ve broke up or even divorce to lovers. Sound off your favorite ones.
Hi guys. For some reason, I’ve been interested in buddie babysitting fics. It can either be with/about Chris or Theo or even with jee. If you know of any or have favorites, please link them.
I read this fic a few weeks ago. Buck says to Eddie he can’t wait for Tuesday or Wednesday, i unfortunately can’t remember specific day buck was referring to. Eddie then spirals and thinks he forgot about a special date in their relationship. Eddie then is asking everyone if they know that it is and plans to “make it right” and act as if he doesn’t know. It ends with buck being excited over something arriving for cooking.
Thank you in advance.

I recently read a fic that contained buddie bickering about how you are supposed to put the dishes in a disshwasner. If i recall correctly, i think chim was in the scene as well. But i cant seem to find it again.
Thank you in advance.
If anyone has their favorite buddie + Chris/theo fics i would love to read them. It could be an established buddie pairing or not. I love not established to romantic. Thank you.
There was a cute one i read a while back but sadly i don’t remember. The author had Theo mispronouncing eddie and Christopher’s name. Eddie was teddy and Chris was kiss.
