beneath my mother tongue by archerincombat

Summary:

He sits bolt upright in his seat. Jee-Yun squeals at the sudden movement. “Holy shit,” he says out loud, simultaneously praying that it doesn’t become one of those words his niece repeats until it loses its sparkle. “I told Eddie I loved him.”

Jee-Yun laughs. It feels a little like she’s mocking him. “Dee,” she agrees solemnly, placing a tiny hand on Buck’s cheek.

Or: Buck goes home to Pennsylvania. It's more familiar than he wants it to be.

Summary:

“I’m not regretting breaking up with Taylor,” Buck says. “It just… would have been nice to go with someone, is all. Don’t get me wrong, I’m completely over Ali, and I’m happy for her and everything, but…”

“But you also want to show that she’s not the only one who could move on,” Eddie says.

And yeah. That’s pretty much right on the money. Always Eddie, to see him, ugliness and all. It’s a shit thought to have, because the last person Ali Martin’s big day is about is him, but—

Well, but. He’s thirty-one and in love with his best friend, who is decidedly not in love with him. He thinks he’s earned the right to be a little uncharitable.

Then Eddie says, very casually, “Just take me.”

Or, Buck gets invited to an ex’s wedding. Eddie volunteers to come as his date.

What's love got to do with it? by ColorMeParanoid

Summary:

"Hear me out," Buck said. "Clearly, both of us are sick of dating other people. And we're a good fit, in pretty much every way that matters. So what if we're not in love? We don't need to be in love to be happy together." Eddie frowned. "So basically, we'd be boyfriends, without benefits?" "Yes!" Buck snapped his fingers. "Like platonic boyfriends! We'd get all the benefits of a relationship and none of the heartbreak." And maybe Eddie had finally lost his mind, or maybe it was from all the alcohol clouding his judgment, but the idea of it didn't sound half as crazy as it should have. *** After Buck’s and Eddie’s dates both end with disasters – proving once again that maybe dating just wasn’t meant for them – they decide to simply settle for each other. If there was one person in the world they'd ever trust with their hearts, it was each other. And who was a better person to date other than your very own best friend?

Connect the Dots by Inell

Summary:

“Let’s see how much we can get away with before they open their eyes and realize we’re together,” Buck says, moving his hand up Eddie’s arm to cup his jaw. “If this backfires, I’m gonna blame you,” Eddie says, leaning up and pressing a quick kiss against his mouth. “But I’m in.”

Summary:

“Sorry, open visiting hours are over. Only immediate family is allowed back there now.” “Right,” Eddie nods, crossing his arms over his chest, “so can I see him?” And Ravi has no idea where this is going but he’s here for the confidence exuding from Eddie right now. The doctor shoots him a quizzical look, head tilting to the side. “I’m sorry, who are you?” Eddie does that little eye roll of his that he thinks is subtle but, honestly, really isn’t. And then states, in a voice completely serious and unwavering, “I’m his husband.” - or, 5 times ravi witnesses eddie and buck fake a relationship, and the one time he realises they were married all along

maybe we'll make something by farfromthstars

Summary:

“You okay, Christopher?” Buck asks when Christopher hasn’t said a single word since getting out of the car. “Yeah,” Christopher says, not taking his eyes off the view. “I just feel so…small.” Buck and Eddie exchange a quick glance. “In a good way or a bad way?” Eddie asks. “Good, I think,” Christopher whispers, reaching for both of their hands. “It’s a little overwhelming, isn’t it?” Buck asks, and both Christopher and Eddie nod. Eddie kneels down on one knee and wraps both of his arms around his son, squeezing him tightly. He’s so much taller than Eddie when he does this now, almost a full head, and still growing like a weed. “I love you so much,” he murmurs, “and I’m so glad we’re here together.” “Me too,” Christopher says, tugging on Buck’s hand that he’s still holding onto, the other arm wrapped around Eddie’s neck. “All three of us.” Eddie looks up at Buck, who’s watching them with so much warmth in his eyes it takes Eddie’s breath away a little. “Yeah,” he manages to get out, still looking at Buck, who’s smiling now. ~ on a road trip with christopher, buck and eddie finally work through their various traumas, and eddie faces his parents again.

Courtship Behaviors of the Southern Coastal Husbro by Mad_Lori

Summary:

“I want you in my family, I want us to be a family. Officially. A family can be a guy, his son, and his best friend, right?” Buck’s lower lip was trembling. “You’re really asking me to be your…what, now?” “Frank called it ‘platonic life partners.’” Buck looked stunned, and also…hopeful. “We could really do that?” ----------------- Buck and Eddie decide to become platonic domestic partners and co-parents. They are 100% super normal about it and absolutely nothing is awakened in them, except a mutual annoyance at being referred to as "husbros."

we found love right where we were by Polish_Amber

Summary: May realised a very long time ago that Buck was basically her stepbrother. So, when the lightning strike finally provided the impetus for Bobby to admit that he also brought a kid into their family, she had every intention of seizing the opportunity to properly integrate Buck into the Grant-Nash family. And, look, if in the process she also gains a brother-in-law… clearly the universe was just waiting for the opportunity to make that happen. - Or, the one where May ensures Buck is enfolded properly into the Grant-Nash clan, which means Bobby (and by extension the firefam, because gossip) suddenly gets significantly more insight into the inner workings of the Buckley-Diaz family, and all roads lead to Buddie…
