my back hurts from lifting you higher

Rules: Post the first sentence of your latest 10 fanfics (or as many as you have), then tag 10 people. Thanks for the tags @soupfic @sassay-fox @cathcer1984 🫶

“H- hey, Eddie?” Buck asks, his voice remarkably steady given their current situation. and for a while you’ll be all mine (T | 969 | it's the end of the world- what better time to confess you're in love with your bestie?)

“Eddie?” while I'm runnin' out of time (T | 693 | 9x18 spec fic; Eddie's sure he's dying this time when he calls Maddie to warn the group at the hospital)

"Come on, Eddie! Cake!" Evan says, flashing a gap toothed grin and pulling him by the arm. your heart's got a story with mine (T | 3.9k | The love story of Buck and Eddie's shared birthdays over the decades)

"Hold me, please?" Buck’s all loose-limbed dead weight where he's slumped against Eddie in the back of the Uber. but I can be the one to hold on (T | 673 | Buck is drunk and sleepy. Eddie pines.)

Eddie Diaz is ecstatic when his parents announce a surprise family trip to the beach. run to the water (and find me there) (M | 43.6k (so far) | When Eddie Diaz is just eleven years old, he meets the love of his life (even if he doesn't know it yet) when a swimming accident leads to meeting a curious merboy with a blue tail and a funny pink mark on his forehead. They form a bond that runs deeper than either of them realizes, leading to a lifelong connection that will bring them back together over and over again.)

Bad beat: Losing a bet you should have won. Especially used when the betting result is decided late in the game to change the side that covers the spread. bad beat (T | 439 | Chim loses a bet and adds it to his list of reasons to be pissed off Bobby died.)

"It's a real shame about your boss, Evan." you don't get to tell me about sad (T | 1.2k | Chim, Maddie and Buck have dinner with the Buckley parents in the wake of Bobby's funeral. It goes about as well as you'd expect.)

“Me?!” Eddie hisses, pointing a finger accusingly at Buck’s chest. “How is any of this my fault?” angels, demons, and plagues (oh my) (T | 676 | Buddie as two celestial exes. That's the fic.)

He can do this. He wants to. These are his friends. His family. His people. Frankly, after a shitty week at dispatch running the LAFD Twitter account, he deserves to be here. honey, when you call my name (E | 12.6k | set in 5b. Eddie sees Buck kiss Lucy. Buck won't let up about why Eddie didn't show up at the bar. They fuck about it.)

Lucy drapes one arm around Natalia, burying her nose in her hair. Nat smells like the overpriced mousse from the salon. Like sweat and sex. She smells like Lucy. stay here honey (i don't wanna share) (E | 1.8K | Lucy and Natalia fuck. They don't date or spend the night or make it anything more than it is. But maybe their situationship is due for an update.)

so i have to play Rubik’s cube with elements of the hookup wip. Please accept some amnesia Buck as an apology for no hookup updates 😔

“I’m sorry,” Buck blurts out.

Eddie stops mid step, raising an eyebrow and peering at his husband.

“For what I said earlier,” Buck clarifies. His gaze lowers to the cotton blanket then finds Eddie again. “I don’t blame you if you need some time until I figure this all out. I c-can stay with Maddie if it's- if this is weird.”

In two long strides Eddie's at the bedside, gripping the plastic rail instead of reaching for Buck like he wants. “Hey, no, I- it’s not weird for me at all.” He hesitates, bile trying to climb up his throat. “But if it is for you…”

It didn't occur to him before that he should've made that offer, to make Buck more comfortable. Instead he was too focused on Buck potentially leaving him.

“It is. Weird for me.”

Eddie's heart tears in two, unable to keep the disappointment from his voice. “Oh.”

“No! I’m sorry, I- I didn't mean it like that,” Buck interjects. “I just meant all of it is.” He purses his lips, scrunching them to one side. “My sister married Chim.”

Eddie barks out a surprised laugh. “I remember, I was there.”
