I have had these fics picked out since like, early December or something, but it was a very busy month and then I sort of forgot about this. But here we are:

This rec list is inspired by the tropes and tags discussed in @theficlistpodcast

Vampire AU: Vintages for Those Who Don't Drink...Wine by @rajumat (Stranger Things - Steddie - 5,467 words) It's not only a vampire AU, it's also a Supernatural style hunters AU, and it is hilarious. I'm also slightly biased, because I made a podfic of this fic.

New Year's Eve: i want your midnights by @markofalover (9-1-1 - Buddie - 2,463 words) It's so cute and fluffy. Honestly, a dream scenario to ring in the New Year.

Ghost (Sexy): Dude, That's My Ghost! by @fuctacles (Stranger Things - Steddie - 9,064 words) This was the first fic I thought of when I saw this tag. It involves some creative ghost sex and sexy possession. Technically Eddie isn't a ghost in this, he's a soul without a body, but I'm counting it.

Fix-It Fic: in the arms of the ocean by @littlespoonevan (9-1-1 - Buddie - 6,857 words) Truly what should have happened after the tsunami. It's the definition of a fix-it fic for me.

Secret Santa: Secret Santa Shenanigans by @songonthewind (Stranger Things - Steddie - 9,795 words) The rest of the Party make sure Steve and Eddie are each other's secret Santas and they give each other thoughtful gifts that lead to them getting together. There is also a very cute interaction between Wayne and Eddie, that I absolutely love.

Buck and Eddie, the morning after.

Read on AO3

Buck woke up surrounded by early morning light. He didn't need to open his eyes to know where he was; the familiar smells and rhythmic ticking of the clock on the living room wall revealed he was in the Diaz household.

It was in those brief seconds in the in-between, right when sleep gave way to wakefulness, that he noticed the less familiar feeling of a hand resting on his stomach. The surprise cleared his head and brought back flashbacks of the night before.

(Soft, slow kisses leaving him breathless, strong thighs enveloping his hips, big hands caressing his arms, lips leaving wet kisses across his pecs.)

There was a smile on Buck's face before he even opened his eyes. He looked to his side to find Eddie there, face pressed against the pillow and mouth half open. He was making those little snuffling sounds that Buck had learned to love during countless naps in the firehouse bunk room.

Buck let the memories of the night wash over him. The evening had started the same way as many others, with Buck following Eddie home in his jeep after a particularly exhausting 24-hour shift. They had prepared dinner together, played video games with Christopher and tucked him in. Essentially what had become his favorite way to end a long day.

Never mind that lately Buck had been finding himself spending every night at the Diaz’s, whether it was at the end of a shift, babysitting Christopher or keeping his best friend company when Chris was at a sleepover. Never mind that he rarely stepped into his own apartment, just enough for a quick shower and a change of clothes.

He had know for a while that his loft had never felt like home the way Eddie’s place did. His love for Eddie seemed to spill over every single aspect of his life. Eddie's felt like home more than any other place he had ever lived in, his childhood home included.
