Warnings (from the author): None

Summary: 

"You’re sleeping with him.”

“I’m not—” Eddie rolls his eyes and corrects himself halfway through. “I’m not sleeping with him like that, okay?”

Sophia looks at him for a long moment as her gaze turns from teasing to thoughtful.

“But you want to be. Right?”

[Or: Buck and Eddie get in the habit of sharing a bed while living together during quarantine. It's platonic until it isn't.]

Review: If you are having the same problem as me today (you cannot stop thinking about Buddie after that amazing episode last night but you desperately need to clean the house) I present to you the perfect solution: this masterpiece of a podfic. I’ve read this story - set during early season 4 - ages ago and loved it, but today I listened to it. Listen. This is so much more than just a simply bedsharing story. This is a companion piece (canon-compliant up until the end) to the show, focussing on Buck and Eddie’s relationships with their families and each other. Extasiswings is a very talented writer, and @itty-bitty-blondie was able to capture the atmosphere wonderfully.

Summary: 

“Family of Eddie Diaz?”

Everyone stood up.

The doctor gave them a sympathetic smile. “That’s sweet, but actual family only right now.”

“I’m his gi—”

“I’m his husband,” Buck cut Ana off, ignoring the slack jawed looks from the rest of the waiting room.

OR: Buck and Eddie got married in secret after the well incident

Review: This is the fic that made me believe that it’s possible to hack AO3 and change the date that a fic was published. Because there is no way. No fucking way this was written and published before 4x14. And yet it was. The flashback scene in this fic literally has almost the same content (even wording!) as the scene of Eddie and Buck in the hospital in 4x14 when Eddie tells him about having changed his will. Holy fuck. Or, as AO3 user “mithrilbookofmystery” puts it: 

Wait was this actually written before Survivors?? Djdbsjsjdbd Apollo really said I gotta snipe this one with the gift of prophecy

Also, bonus points for likeable Ana!
