This poll is a celebration of fandom and fandom history; we're aware that there are certain issues with many of the listed pairings and sources, but they are a part of that history. Please do not take this as an endorsement, and refrain from harassment.
So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)
Chapter 3 of this can't be love by prettyboybuckley

Summary:
Chapter 3
Seeing him and Tommy pressed close together, though, with Tommy's arm around Buck's waist or on his lower back, fills Eddie with a feeling of bone-deep possessive rage. That should be him, it should be Eddie fitting himself along Buck's side, holding him close.
It doesn't even make sense for Tommy to be in any of the pictures with how new this thing between them is, even if there are plenty of pictures without him. In Eddie's opinion, it's too early for him to be a wedding date in the first place.
Buck may be an omega, but he’s lived most of his life since presenting as a beta thanks to strong suppressants. Despite having vowed to never date an alpha, when Tommy asks him out, Buck can’t resist.
Eddie had come to terms with knowing he would never have a chance with his best friend. When Tommy starts dating Buck, Eddie quickly becomes jealous, though after a while he feels confused. Who exactly is he jealous of?
Tommy falls for Buck harder than he expected, but he doesn’t want to lose Eddie as a friend. After something happens to Buck, he starts to think that maybe none of them have to choose.
OR: three men slowly but surely fall in love with each other despite societal expectations - things get complicated

Buck would like it on record that he didn’t go looking for the video of Eddie’s fight with Jonah Greenway because he didn’t even know Eddie had gotten in a fight with Jonah Greenway. Ravi sent the video into the group chat with the comment that “Fans are weirdly horny over fights” and no other context.
If Eddie had been home Buck probably wouldn’t have watched it or maybe they would have watched it together for a laugh, but Eddie was still at practice and Buck was alone in the Diaz house where he’d spent the last month recovering. He was bored, he figured watching a fan edit of a fight would be fine.
The video started with a title card that said “Buddie is real” and a clip of the hit that had ended Buck’s season. He’d seen the hit a few times now, but he wasn’t sure why Ravi had mentioned a fight. The video cut to Eddie throwing his stick and gloves onto the ice and shoving Greenway away from Buck before dropping to his knees and carefully cupping Buck’s face in his hands.
He was hit with a sudden memory of that moment, of the way he hurt so much, but he'd felt safe because Eddie was there. He couldn’t hear what Eddie was saying in the video, but he remembered Eddie making him feel like everything would be okay. The next cut showed Eddie and Ravi, but mostly Eddie, helping Buck off the ice.
The video cut to a shot of Greenway being led to the penalty box with a smile on his face that made Buck’s blood boil. Greenway had just ended Buck’s season with that dirty hit and he was smiling? He wanted to hit something, but he knew that even punching a pillow with his good hand would hurt like a bitch so he restrained himself.

A little something something from my abo fic and also a question:
This fic is a wip and idk when I’ll be done but would you guys like me to start posting now and update as I write or wait until I’m done?
Anyway here’s the snippet:
Buck chewed on his lip again, the same spot that was already raw, Eddie balled his hands into fists to resist the urge to press his thumb against it and break the skin free, to soothe the irritation with his touch.
“Okay,” Buck said after a while, and after Eddie thoroughly washed his hands he hesitantly handed his baby to Eddie.
“I’m not gonna go anywhere,” Eddie assured him, “I’ll hold him right here while you eat.”
Buck nodded, and finally let go completely of Thomas. They both held their breath waiting to see if Thomas was going to wake up and start crying, but all he did was nuzzle into Eddie, his little nose pressed to Eddie’s chest, and settling back to sleep.
“Uh,” Buck tilted his head, looking at his son confused, “He hasn’t done that with anyone before.”
Eddie tried to ignore the fluttering in his chest at the implications, “He must recognize my scent from the ambulance,” Eddie said, “That’s all.” Buck nodded but he was still staring at them with a little awe in his eyes, “C’mon, get some food in you, you look like you’re gonna pass out any moment.”
Buck chuckled, “You’re not wrong about that, I feel like I haven’t slept since I went into labor.”
“Well, I don’t have anywhere to be for the next few hours, and I did promise to help you paint too, so you can get some sleep while I’m here, I promise to be quiet.”
Buck stared at him, stopping wolfing down his food for a second, “Listen, Eddie, huh, that’s very nice of you, and I appreciate it, but you don’t need to.” He took a deep breath, “I just had a baby, I’m not really looking for courtship or anything like that.”
Eddie blushed, “No, I know, I promise I’m not gonna try and court you, I genuinely just wanna help, from one single dad to another, okay?” Even if Eddie had wanted to court Buck, he knew that right now wasn’t the right time, if ever, for all that Eddie knew Buck’s alpha might come back any day now and he wouldn’t need Eddie’s help anymore.
