  1. Summary

    Sometimes I take fic prompts on tumblr (filed under my tag, tumblyfic). And sometimes, what my brain ends up spitting out is longer than I'd anticipated.

    This series does NOT include all prompt responses, only those above a certain word count, which may vary depending on what I feel like that day. They might differ slightly from their original tumblr post version, as these have been beta read and edited. If you're interested in reading all my prompt responses, the tag on my tumblr (linked above) is the only way to do it, sorry.

    All prompts will be listed in the fic summary, so you can tell what they are at a glance.

    Summary

    Buck knew the universe wasn’t really a huge fan of him. But this? This was a new low.

    The last two weeks of working with Eddie Diaz had been a special type of hell. Of course, while he’d been out of work nearly dying several times, Bobby had managed to replace him with the hottest, most competent probie that ever graduated the Academy. And of course, he hated Buck.

    Which was good, because Buck hated him right back.

    -----

    In a world where everyone's timing is just a little off, Buck and Eddie take a few more missteps on the way to finding each other.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “This is my dad,” Chris pointed. “Dad, this is Evan.”

    Eddie couldn’t think of a single thing to say.

    Buck—Evan—Buck—saved the day. Again. “Wow, that’s so crazy,” he said, squatting down to smile at Chris. Eddie absolutely did not look at his thighs. And Buck gestured to Eddie without looking at him, either. “Your dad and I actually work together at the same fire station. I had no idea!”

    Summary

    “Okay, I know we kind of all had an unspoken rule not to talk about it, but…”

    “Buck and Eddie are being weird as hell?” Chim asked, sucking in a breath like he'd been holding back from letting the same thought out for far too long.

    “Yes!” Hen hissed, relieved that she wasn't the only to see the weirdness in the room. “Now, look, they're my friends and so obviously I want them to be happy, but it's also just throwing the team vibe way off.”

    Bobby took a long, tired breath. “Okay. So what did you have in mind?”

    Several things, as it turned out. Between them, they managed to come up with the very vague outline of a plan. Or a few plans, really, depending on how many failed.

    OR -

    When Buck and Eddie aren't speaking, Hen decides to take matters into her own hands.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Buck was giddy and overexcited and too happy to think logically, so he agreed that of course he would drop anything for them.

    It was really his fault when he spent the next three days being leapt on like it was the most normal thing in the world.

    Summary

    “If I had,” Chris lingers on the words, watching Eddie intently through the screen, “If I had conditions?”

    Eddie feels his stomach knot up. It’s the first time Chris has ever alluded to a willingness to come home. Usually he just shoots Eddie down with a flat “I know” before hurrying off the call. Eddie Diaz will be damned before he lets this chance slip through his hands.

    “Anything,” his voice rings with desperation in his own ears, “Whatever you need to feel ready to come home. If I can make it happen, I will.”

    Chris eyes him, young face serious as a judge presiding over trial. An apt comparison because only Chris could condemn or parole Eddie. His fate is in his son’s hands so completely that if he was going to therapy, Frank would probably be concerned. Finally, Chris opens his mouth and says something so earth shattering as to crack the foundations of his father’s mind.

    “Marry Buck,” Chris says firmly.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Apparently, a clip of the two of them diving into the water after the bus has gone locally viral enough that Chris was shown it at school by a friend.

    They hardly get in the door before Christopher is yelling, face red from the strain and fist balled up uselessly at his sides.

    Summary

    When the 118 find out about Buck’s secret thirst account on Instagram – to raise fire safety awareness, obviously – they make fun of him the appropriate amount and move on. Eddie, who has had some recent and birthmark-shaped revelations about his feelings, finds it a little harder to do the same.

    Of course, Eddie would never invade Buck’s privacy by searching for and finding the anonymous account. Or looking at all the uploaded photos late at night. Or even directly messaging Buck’s secret account. That would be weird, because he’s certainly not planning on doing anything about his newfound attraction.

    However, anonymous account @elbombero118 has no such limitations.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The profile picture is a quick photo he took last night of the hand-painted ceramic tortilla warmer Abuela bought for him before she left for El Paso. It’s very gaudy and floral, and as soon as Eddie had taken the photo, the background being his white countertop, it went straight back into the deepest corner of his cupboard, along with all the other kitchen appliances he never uses.

    Summary

    This summer has had some subversive effects on his very definition of what it means to want.

    He’s always been good at not wanting too much or too recklessly. But these days, it seems like he’s insatiable, wrought with hunger and pillaging to consume.

    Maybe it's because this kind of wanting feels offensive—something he thought he’d snuffed out decades ago, made benign.

    He’s always been so good at beating it down, down, down into submission whenever it reared its ugly head; he had a handle on it.

    Now, it’s all gone to shit.

    or; Buck and Eddie have sex, Eddie freaks out. Wash, rinse, repeat.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Buck’s voice, when he speaks, is biting.

    “Thought we weren’t going to tell anyone about that.”
