That’s it for this roundup! As always, feel free to comment with anything I may have missed.
random ass shower thoughts
after a couple months within this fandom, i'm just now realizing how much more painful it's gonna be if in season 10 buddie doesn't go canon (which is generally around 60/40% depending on who you ask with the introduction of Theo back into the picture)
originally, back when S8E15 was released on april 17th, 2025, i was mostly only watching "The Rookie" and any major deaths that have happened happened earlier in the first four seasons with captain andersen and jackson as well as other less sadder deaths with armstrong, rosalind, jason, and monica. Given that context, I was really shocked by the reactions to bobby's death and the events and seasons leading up to it, though I didn't think that it was that big of a deal personally since I didn't watch the show at the time
and, in the year and couple months since, during the hiatus before "The Rookie" returned earlier this year, I picked up 2-3 additional shows, though none of which is holding me HOSTAGE like buddie is </3
in reality, i've waited like a couple weeks while season 9 was airing, but even that is killing me honestly (i don't get how some of y'all who've been watching from the start waiting for even bi buck have been doing this). only other similar experience i've had is watching the first few seasons of "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" and giving up once i've realized that 27 seasons in, the closest they've gotten is a near kiss in season 24 and them continuing to exchange emotional "i love yous", even as a straight couple on network television 🫠
Buck whump
Trigger warning: self harm
I’ve been going crazy looking for a buddie fic I read months ago. I’m pretty sure it’s a post lawsuit fic in which Buck starts self-harming. He goes too deep and a cut on his thigh reopens during a call, so he staples it together (!) in front of Eddie while they are trying to escape the building. Does this ring any bells for anyone?
First Kiss Location
Any other options, please describe in the comments!
Fic Recs Friday (2026.07.03): Blind Dates, Catfishing & Dating Apps, and Secret Admirers
We require all recommendations to include a title, author, rating, and share any significant content warning tags that could yuck an unsuspecting reader’s yum (major character death, graphic violence, underage, rape/non-con, and anything else significant you think could be a likely trigger). Ideally, please also share one or some combination of the following: the summary of the story, what you enjoyed about the work, a quote or a summary of a scene you liked.
If you've submitted a request through a previous week's post, we've made a note of it and plan to slowly work through them in upcoming weeks. If you have other requests, shoot us a modmail in the meantime and we'll add them to the list. While we try to prioritize requests chronologically, they aren't exactly 'first come first serve,' so don't get discouraged knowing we already have a list going; modmail requests will be prioritized when possible. We try to balance out our weekly themes so there are times that your angst request might jump the queue because the others are fluff, or a dearth of fics for one of the chosen tropes requires us to add a fourth category.
THIS WEEK'S THEME(S):
- Blind Dates
- Catfishing & online dating (per request) - think along the lines of fic where they are unknowingly talking to each other on dating apps, or getting advice about confessing feelings without knowing the other is on the other end, etc.
- Secret Admirer
ISO Buddie Fic
I can't remember the name of the fanfic, but the premise was as a kid Eddie beat some other dude at a dance battle and the kid had a crush on him or something but Eddie thought he hated him so they argued a lot.
Cut to present day, the 118 end up rescuing the guy and Eddie is immediately hostile at his intrest in buck so to get back at Eddie the guy asks buck out with the intention of just revenge on Eddie. It winds up with Eddie kissing the other dude instead of Buck and then there's a emotional talk and Eddie buys a bunch of mouthwash at a cornerstore to use before Buck will kiss him.
A (literal) hole in the head
I've been looking for this fic for a while. For some reason, I can't pull it up on ao3. Does someone have a link to it, please?
Choose your vibe 🤷🏻♀️
(poem) ~~a.r.asher
I couldn't make the edit I wanted to make (at least not with minimal effort) so ended up with these instead
Happy Birthday to the one and only Buck Buckley!
Eddie’s birthday: June 26th
Buck’s birthday: June 27th
Even their birthdays are joined at the hip 😭
