Next up on the indulgent journey through my favourite tropes fic-rec list is the good old soulmate fic. I really enjoy the ‘first words your soulmate says’ stories, and I like how this one turns it on its head a little.

Fic rec for my BFF, pt. 1

My best friend is currently watching 9-1-1. I've been trying to get her onboard the Buddie ship and she is graciously tolerating me. She's asked for some fic recs and so this is what I came up with! I did have to work with a few parameters to fit her taste, the most important one being nothing post season 3 cause that's where she's up to and she didn't want spoilers.

Hope you enjoy these bestie!

Canon to Canon Divergent

Things We're All Too Young to Know by Daisies_and_Briar / @cal-daisies-and-briars 

Canon S1-S6, S7 Spec | 123/? | 379K | Mature

This is a love story. Even if it doesn’t always look like it. Even if it doesn’t always feel like it. A look back on Eddie and Buck's lives up to now, and what led them to each other, interpreted from the current 9-1-1 canon.

THE canon fics to end all canon fics. I know it's still a WIP and it spans up to post-S6, but if you want a canon fic, that's the one to go for.

Leading with the Left by letmetellyouaboutmyfeels/ @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels 

Canon Divergent, Different First Meeting, Stripper Buck | 84K | Explicit

When Buck said he was a "bartender" in "South America" what he actually meant was "stripper" in "Mexico." And when Eddie said, "What's your problem?" what he actually meant was, "Is this about the time you gave me a lap dance?" In other words, there's a few things the 118 doesn't know about Buck. Or Eddie. Or Buck and Eddie's relationship.

One of my most re-read fics. The smut is impeccable. The angst is so good. Absolutely love this fic!

Your Scars and Your Lonely Heart by Taste_is_Sweet

Sentinels AU, Canon Divergent - Tsunami | 82K | Teen

Clara Williams just wanted to visit Pacific Park during her layover in Los Angeles. She never expected to find a young, exceptional Sentinel dying for lack of a bond. Actually, what she really never expected was a tsunami, or the same Sentinel to save her life. But Clara's a Guide, so now she's on a mission to keep Evan "Buck" Buckley alive until she can get him to Eddie Diaz, the Guide who should have bonded with him, but didn't. Because Clara can't bond with Buck, no matter how much she wants to. There's just one problem: Buck's convinced Eddie doesn't want him, and he might not survive long enough to find out the truth.

Another one of my most re-read fics! I had never read a Sentinels AU before and I fell in love with the concept!

the distance to the stars by cloudydaisies 

Didn't Know They Were Dating, Post-S3 | 27K | General

“Didn’t know you were seeing someone.” Buck just laughs. Like, honest to god giggles. Eddie is stuck fighting off doubly massive waves of butterflies and confusion, all while Buck just gazes down at him. “That’s cute,” he hears Buck mumble, just before climbing into the truck, calling Eddie after him. - or, everyone knows eddie is dating buck except for eddie, literally.

Don't know if you knew this, Marie, but Buddie is the #1 most tagged ship in the "Didn't Know They Were Dating" tag cause they're such idiots <3 and this is one of my favorite ones!

the weekly bet (but the forever kind) by theleftboobgrabber/ @theleftboobgrabber 

Late S3, Getting Together | 49K | Explicit

“Thanks,” Eddie mumbles, hiding his face deep in his pillow, even if Buck can’t see him in the dark. “What for?” Leave it to Buck to be confused about something so obvious. “Being you, idiot.” “And again with the name calling,” he answers, content and sleepy. Nights like this, Eddie feels like asking for a miracle. But to the team, it wasn’t a matter of if Abby would take him back, but when. A matter of days. When the squad bets on how long it will take for Buck and Abby to get back together when she comes back to LA, Eddie is forced to reconsider keeping his feelings for Buck a secret.

Top tier pining + oblivious Eddie = 👌

Always, All Ways by ashavahishta/ @tevankinkley

A/B/O AU | 85K | Explicit

“Buck is very dear, Mr Diaz. Not only to me but to the pack. You’ll find that if you treat him with anything less than utmost respect you’ll have a lot of people to answer to.”   Eddie swallowed. It was clear that in the absence of a mate, this omega had found himself a very protective pack. “Understood, sir.” Or: Buck’s the only omega in the 118. He’s got secrets, and walls a mile high. Eddie’s the alpha determined to knock them down.

There's not a ton of A/B/O fics in this fandom, and I should really try to read more of them, but this is probably my favorite one so far!

I Hit the Accelerator (But the Car was in Reverse) by extasiswings/@extasiswings, letmetellyouaboutmyfeels/@letmetellyouaboutmyfeels

S3, Friends With Benefits, BDSM | 68K | Explicit

When Buck is forced to confront the truth about his breakup with Abby, having casual sex with his hot new coworker seems like the best rebound idea. Unfortunately, that hot new coworker turns into his best friend. But best friends can keep having sex with each other, right? There's no way this could possibly go wrong.

THE friends with benefits fic! (ok lbr there's a ton of great ones, but this one is S2 focused iirc)

AUs

My Blood on Your Skin (My Rose on Your Snow) by letmetellyouaboutmyfeels/ @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels

Mythological AU, BDSM | 80K | Explicit

When Eddie needs cash and fast to take care of Christopher, his LAFD Academy buddy suggests a job as a bouncer at Elysium - an exclusive sex club in downtown Los Angeles. Eddie doesn't care what goes on there, so long as he's paid, but he finds he cares a lot bout the club's enigmatic owner, Evan Buckley, and it's not long before the two of them are violating every boss-employee rule in the book. But there's something different about Buck and the club, something not quite... human. If Eddie wants to keep Buck, he's going to have to delve into the world of immortals, and all the risks that implies.

You can expect amazing smut by this author as always, but also really interesting worldbuilding and characters!

All My Shattered Oaths by letmetellyouaboutmyfeels/ @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels

Vampires AU | 107K | Explicit

Eddie wants to stay away from his family’s legacy and give his son a normal life. Buck’s desperate to find a way to get over the love he lost. Fate has other plans for both of them.

SO GOOD. The canon divergent reincarnation vampire AU you didn't know you needed!!!

a bleeding sun on a silver screen by rarakiplin (gmontys)/ @hoediaz 

Actors AU, Friends With Benefits | 130K | Mature

One day, Buck will tell an interviewer that he would be happy to make movies with Eddie Diaz until the day he dies. But first, years before that, he sees Eddie for the first time on the set of Chimney’s fifth movie.

An epic tale of movie making and enemies to friends to FWB to strangers to lovers!

The Truth of Love (Amas Veritas) by allyasavedtheday/ @littlespoonevan

Practical Magic AU | 20K | Teen

Bobby opens his mouth like he wants to argue but decides against it. “Walk me through the logic here then. How will this make sure you never fall in love?” “Because I’m making someone who doesn’t exist,” Buck explains, glancing from the half-full bowl to Bobby. He can’t work out what the look on Bobby’s face means so he pointedly elects to ignore it. “They’ll have brown hair,” he starts, clipping another petal from the rose bush. “And brown eyes-“ “Lotta people out there with brown hair and brown eyes, kid,” Bobby says lightly and Buck rolls his eyes. “But not many that can ride a horse backwards,” Buck counters. “And whose favourite shape is a star and who’s got…two scars,” he decides, plucking a basil leaf and dropping it in the bowl. “One on each shoulder.”

Because Practical Magic AUs always make me think of you <3

I'll Scrawl it on Every Wall I See by letmetellyouaboutmyfeels/ @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels

Canon Divergent, You've Got Mail Fusion | 29K | Teen

When Eddie joins the 118, he and Buck don't exactly hit it off on the right foot. Or continue to walk on the right foot. In fact they kind of can't stand each other. Good thing they each have a beloved anonymous pen pal to share their daily woes with, someone completely unlike their insufferable coworker.

I do love some good romcom vibes!

ups, I did it again. Some progress has been made, though my idea of anatomy or clothes is still very... strange xD

This time art is inspired by the first part of the great series by Taste_is_Sweet "And Breathe", which changed my brain chemistry and made something with my sanity, but I'm not complaining. :D

March 2024 Stucky Fics

Completed

Now! That’s What I Call 90’s Slow Jams (Rated: M, Words: 10K) by deadonarrival

Summary: Steve goes home for the wedding of Becca Barnes and while he’s there he runs into his old crush. Her brother. Except now they are both hot as shit. Oh no whatever will happen.

(You Can't Choose) What Stays and What Fades Away (Rated: G, words: 3K) by Taste_is_Sweet

Summary: At some point in everyone's life, the first words their soulmate will ever say to them will appear in deep black writing on their skin. The words fade to light grey when a soulmate dies. Sometimes new words replace them, whether they're wanted or not (These were the words Steve was born with, running in a messy, uneven line across his skinny little chest, beneath both his collarbones: You okay, pal? Those jerks didn't hurt ya too bad, did they? Steve woke up from the ice in 2011 with the words, Who the hell is Bucky? circling his heart, in printing so precise it barely looked human. Steve hated them.)

For Words to Say it Right (Rated: T, Words: 25K) by Squeaky & Taste_is_Sweet

Summary: Turns out when you're missing an arm, everyone asks are you okay? all the damn time. And when your soulmark is one of the most common questions in English, it's even worse. Generic soulmarks are a bitch.

Lost Vocabularies that Might Express (The Memory of These Broken Impressions) (Rated: M, Words: 111K) by dorian_burberrycanary / @burberrycanary

Summary: The worst of times, like the best, are always passing away. How’s that for some consolation on the road? A post-The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Stucky fix-it as part of the all-American road trip, detours included.

The Simple Life (Rated: E, Words: 114K) by howler32557038

Summary: "The simple life." "You'll get there one day." "I don't know. Family, stability...The guy who wanted all that went in the ice seventy-five years ago. I think someone else came out." Bucky wants to be part of Steve's life. He wants to be an Avenger. He wants to be a good partner. Unfortunately, sometimes that means not telling Steve everything.

WIP

a league of our own (Rated: E, Current Words: 40K) by burning_brighter / @burnin-brighter

Summary: Steve's sixteen-year-old son's one and only dream is to play in the Major League. He thinks he has a shot when the team get a new coach, retired MLB legend and Steve's high school crush, Bucky Barnes. Steve hasn't thought of the man in many years, but seeing him brings back many memories that push Steve to reach out to an old friend and maybe make new ones on the way. What happens when Steve gets to know Bucky properly? What happens when they open up about their darkest secrets and deepest fears? There's really only one thing that can happen.

hey now, you're an all star (get your game on, go play) (Rated: E, Current Words: 81K) by buckyismybicycle / @buckyismybicycle

Summary: Boston Bruins trade notorious party animal/human disaster Bucky Barnes to the Dallas Stars, and captain Steve Rogers is not impressed when Fury puts him on babysitting duties. But, as he gets to know Bucky - really gets to know Bucky - he wonders if maybe the media has got it all wrong - very, very wrong. PS - you do not need to know hockey for this, I promise.

Every Me and Every You (Rated: E, Current Words: 60K) by deadto27 / @deadto27

Summary: Bucky Barnes is doing his best. He's getting by after the blip, after Sam became Captain America, after Steve...well, it's best he doesn't think about that. The point is, his life is different now, and he's trying his best. He just wishes the hollow feeling in his chest would go away. ----- Bucky gets blinded by a bright light as the tear seems to implode in on itself and there’s an odd little jolt as the pulling stops, and then Bucky’s blinking, trying to get his vision right again as he loosens his grip on America. “You okay?” he checks, still squinting. He’s probably not blind, he thinks. It just feels like it right now. “I’m okay,” America tells him and he sees her nod shakily as his vision starts to clear, and he carefully lets go of her, seeing that she can support herself, hands pressing onto the floor next to her. “Uh…I don’t think I am,” says another voice, and Bucky turns his head so fast he might give himself whiplash. Because he knows that voice. He knows that voice better than any other voice on the planet and he’s missed that voice

[oatshow]

Getting very deep into headcanon territory but the fic series "And Breathe" by Taste_Is_Sweet involves Melshi having a father and two mothers and I added that to my beliefs system so fast... Still haven't quite figured out what I think his father would look like but these are my mental images of his moms.

Epic Stucky Fic Rec | January 2023

Just a little one for the month of January :) Gonna have to change that banner one day 😆

Complete

The Element of Surprise by musette22/ @musette22 (Evanstan RPF | 4K | Explicit): When he darts a look out the window, Chris’s cab is just driving off. The man himself is keeping his head down, so all Sebastian can see is the top of the baseball cap he’s wearing. Curious now, Sebastian gets up to greet Chris. Less than a minute later, the door to Sebastian’s apartment opens, Chris walks in, looks up, and – Sebastian chokes on air. “Don’t,” Chris says instantly, a warning in his voice. Sebastian gapes at him. “You have a mustache,” he says faintly, once he’s remembered how to talk. “Yep.” Chris lifts a hand to his face, fiddling with said mustache. “It’s for the role.”

Made your mark on me, a golden tattoo by cable-knit-sweater (cable_knit_sweater) (Evanstan RPF, PWP | 3K | Explicit): Chris waits up for Sebastian to come home from the Golden Globes, quickly losing his mind at the sight of him when he does. Practically pure smut.

WIP

💙 hey now, you’re an all star (get your game on, go play) by buckyismybicycle/ @buckyismybicycle (NHL Hockey AU | 20/? | 63K | Explicit): Boston Bruins trade notorious party animal/human disaster Bucky Barnes to the Dallas Stars, and captain Steve Rogers is not impressed when Fury puts him on babysitting duties. But, as he gets to know Bucky - really gets to know Bucky - he wonders if maybe the media has got it all wrong - very, very wrong.

Re-Read

💙 For Words to Say it Right by Squeaky, Taste_is_Sweet/ @taste-is-sweet (Alternate Universe, Soulmate Marks | 25K | Teen): Turns out when you're missing an arm, everyone asks are you okay? all the damn time. And when your soulmark is one of the most common questions in English, it's even worse. Generic soulmarks are a bitch.

(My) Top Three Whump Fics

It was so hard to choose - I have an entire google docs file with 200+ fics that I love. So here are just three of my favourite whumpy fics that were written/posted this year!

Number One

Title: ‘We’re In This Together’ by Padria95 (Rogue One)

AO3 Summary: The Empire still looms over their heads, but Jyn can't help thinking that she can't really remember a time when she felt happier. Friends surround her, mission after mission with the Rebellion is successful, and she and Cassian are both lowering their walls to let each other in.But then, a series of unfortunate events strikes. First, a rescue mission that Jyn and Cassian do not return from unscathed. And then, when they’ve barely had time to recover from it, an entire Alliance base faces destruction. Cassian races to save their allies, forced to confront an entire fleet of Star Destroyers in only a single ship. Sure, it might be the Millennium Falcon, but it’s still just one ship. Cassian has always made it back to Jyn, has always come back for her. Will he be able to one more time?

Notes: An awesome fic depicting the blooming relationship between Cassian and Jyn. So tense and brilliantly written medical scenes. Both Cassian and Jyn whump! 

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/9913952/chapters/22216826

Number Two

Title: ‘Handle With Care’ by quill_le_hedgehog (The Boys)

AO3 Summary: After Hughie's injury in 'The Bloody Doors Off', Butcher, Starlight, and the rest of the team must work together to get him back to their bunker and help him recover

Notes: Sweet and angsty with a side of great characterisation and writing. I find that some people go ‘overboard’ with Butchers dialogue/mannerisms (e.g, c*nt being in every line of dialogue) but Quill here writes him brilliantly!

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/41981595/chapters/105394308

Number Three

Title: ‘The Weight of the Dead’ by Taste_is_Sweet (Rogue One)

Ao3 Summary: Cassian knows exactly what he wants to have happen after he dies. Jyn has some feelings about that.

Notes: This is another fantastic one - it’s a Rogue One fix-it of sorts that explores Jyn and Cassian’s budding relationship, as well as Melshi’s friendship with Cassian. Plenty of hurt and comfort as well as an exploration into death rituals of Star-Wars cultures.

Pietro Lives Masterlist

And I was unaware (ao3) - EssayOfThoughts wanda/vision G, 7k

Summary: “The Vision that came back may never become the Vision you knew again,” Pietro says, gently. “It is not like me. I died unbroken and came back unbroken. Both you and Thanos and Shuri all sought to take Vision apart from the stone that let him be. And with that stone gone now-”

“I know.” Wanda doesn’t dare speak louder than a whisper. “I know. But I saw his mind. It’s- I know-” She pauses. The words war within her, the emotions rising in her throat. “He will never be who he was. But he is enough as he was that if I just leave it is not fair to him.”

And We Keep Living Anyway (ao3) - WinterSky101 T, 9k

Summary: The aftermath of the Battle of Sokovia. Dying leaves its mark, even if it doesn't stick.

Because I Could Not Stop For Death (ao3) - MsPerception427 clint/laura, bruce/natasha, steve/bucky, pietro/crystal, wanda/vision T, 56k

Summary: Pietro and Wanda grew up only having one another. And now they have a team, a home and most importantly a family. Yeah, they definitely didn't see that one coming. A series of stories set post Age of Ultron as the twins settle into a world of heroes, monsters, gods and Tony Stark.

bullet holes (ao3) - GettingGreyer T, 4k

Summary: Pietro survived death, but in the aftermath of Sokovia and being shot by Ultron he has many scars, and the memories of nearly dying haunts him. Wanda tries to get him to open up about his experiences, but he doesn't want to burden Wanda with his nightmares.

Deal Seven, Pick Up Four (ao3) - CallidoraMedea wanda/vision, pepper/tony, steve/natasha G, 4k

Summary: After a long day of press conferences, the Avengers and co decide to wind the evening down with a game of UNO.

Unfortunately, not everyone plays nice.

Extra Years (ao3) - stardustandswimmingpools clint/laura T, 5k

Summary: Sokovia shatters, Pietro is alive, and Clint is exhausted. But there are goodbyes, still, and Clint will not leave them unsaid.

in which the avengers have a movie night and tony sits out (ao3) - genesis_frog N/R, 1k

Summary: They just wanted to watch the movie, but no, the power has to keep going out. And only in some rooms! Thanks, Tony.

I see the hope in your heart (ao3) - naivesilver G, 2k

Summary: Kate wakes up the morning after Christmas to someone knocking on the door of the Bartons’ guest bedroom.

 After the events that led to her mother's arrest, Kate meets another one of Clint's strays.

Miscalculation (fanfiction.net) - SkylarkOfTheMoon T, 1k

Summary: SPOILERS! Alternate-ending for Avengers: Age of Ultron. In those few seconds between life and death Pietro makes a decision that saves the lives of three people-an innocent little boy, a man who deserves to go home and the only person he has left to love. In those few seconds Pietro Maximoff learns what it means to be an Avenger.

Mutual Worry Pact (ao3) - EssayOfThoughts G, 3k

Summary: Six weeks before, the Helicarrier had set down. Six weeks before, several days had been taken to organise things, to rehome the refugees, to figure out what was going on and who was going where and what on earth to do with a pair of superpowered twins. Six weeks before, Vision had carried Wanda to the ‘carrier, her eyeliner running with tears and with wind, had set her down on tarmac and Clint, standing in a doorway sheltered from the wind, had led her to the room where her brother was undergoing emergency surgery and she had collapsed in the sheer relief that he wasn’t dead.

The Last of the Self-Sacrificing Idiots (ao3) - Taste_is_Sweet steve/bucky T, 6k

Summary: The kid's eyes were cracked open, too, even though Clint knew Steve had closed them. Because Pietro couldn't be fucking tractable even as a dead body, apparently. And Clint knew—he knew—that it didn't make a damn bit of difference. Pietro couldn't be blinded by the sun any more than he'd give a shit about having company. But Clint was enough of a sentimental, guilty sap that he shifted so he could touch the kid's eyelids to close them anyway.

Pietro blinked.

There Was No Reply (ao3) - Jammy_Wammy T, 1k

Summary: Pietro had lived, but at what cost?

They Didn't See It Coming (They only had themselves to blame) (ao3) - darwinwithadifference T, 1k

Summary: Pietro decides that it's a great idea to prank the Avengers. He finds it hilarious until revenge is taken.

welcome to the afterlife, enjoy your brief stay (ao3) - kalina16 G, 3k

Summary: In the few seconds before Ultron shot them all to hell, Pietro Maximoff knew his decision - he knew he was going to die. So, unbelievably boring or not, he's got no one to blame but himself that he's dead. He just didn't expect the afterlife to be full of people spilling their souls to him, that's all.

Andor Wednesday #21, "A Rock in the Water" by Taste_is_Sweet

Remember that line in Rogue One novelisation? "On Jenoport, [K-2SO had] found Cassian staring at his blaster with tears on his face. K-2 had volunteered for a memory wipe in case Cassian's "continued dignity and service demanded it." Yeah...

Special thanks to @adeptnenyim for recommending this beautifully devastating piece.

Title: A rock in the water

Author: Taste_is_Sweet

Words: 9,163

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/46255897

Rating: Mature

Warnings: Heavy angst, suicide attempt, grief/mourning, emotional hurt/comfort, guilt

Description: If you need a good cry, look no further. This is such a dark, such a complex piece, and it is So. Well. Written. The way Cassian digests difficult news, the way he fixates on the smallest things to hold onto reality, the way he slowly, inevitably spirals down...

And then the turning point (to avoid spoilers) brings in so many other feelings, and it starts hurting in an entirely new way, and there's this short moment of relief before you realise that this still wasn't okay, and even the comfort hurts.

So, yeah. If you're looking to get emotionally damaged in a most beautiful, deeply authentic way, then this is it. It doesn't get better than this story.

I hope you enjoy the reading! Thank you for all of your recommendations - feel free to send more, either via comments or in my ask box. Don’t be shy to self-promote!

And if you end up reading this story, let me know what you think (and remember to leave the author some love!)

Favorite Buddie Fics (so far!)

Hi 911 fam!

This has been way, waaaaaaay past overdue. The weewoo show got a hold of me last May and, for some reason, I resisted making a fic rec blog about it. I think I was kind of in disbelief that I, a serial long-term monoshipper, had adopted a second new ship in less than a year 😆 But it seems like I'm a sucker for a good Best Friends to Lovers, Found Family, Trauma Bonding vibe!!

I figured I ought to start off this blog with my favourite fics I've read so far. These are the ones that are, to me, the most memorable, that I've already re-read once (or twice!) in the last few months. I absolutely love them!

I'm going to try and start making recs here a bit more often! In the meantime, if you want more fics I've enjoyed, you can have a look at my ao3 bookmarks here. You can also find me on Twitter and Bluesky @/epicficrecs !

I hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think about those fics and what are YOUR all time favourites? 😊

Being Eddie by Daisies_and_Briars/ @cal-daisies-and-briars (Time Travel, Post-Season 6, Getting together | 80K | Teen): When Eddie starts seeing a new therapist, he’s presented with the opportunity to revisit several days from his past and right regrets that still bother him. OR: Eddie goes through the time travel therapy process of the 2009 Canadian TV show Being Erica.

Evan Buckley & The Coma-Verse of Madness by Daisies_and_Briars/ @cal-daisies-and-briars (Coma AU, Multiverse | 58K | Teen): After being struck by lightning on a call, Buck experiences a plethora of alternate realities showing him different directions his life could have taken. Fighting hard to get home, Buck learns what, or who, is important to him in every lifetime.

Your Scars and Your Lonely Heart by Taste_is_Sweet (Sentinels AU, Canon Divergent - Tsunami | 82K | Teen): Clara Williams just wanted to visit Pacific Park during her layover in Los Angeles. She never expected to find a young, exceptional Sentinel dying for lack of a bond. Actually, what she really never expected was a tsunami, or the same Sentinel to save her life. But Clara's a Guide, so now she's on a mission to keep Evan "Buck" Buckley alive until she can get him to Eddie Diaz, the Guide who should have bonded with him, but didn't. Because Clara can't bond with Buck, no matter how much she wants to. There's just one problem: Buck's convinced Eddie doesn't want him, and he might not survive long enough to find out the truth.

let the world have its way with you by fleetinghearts/ @shitouttabuck (Post-Coma AU | 54K | Explicit): or, a bucket list that’s really about buck needing to make a change and an eddie who’s ready to do anything to see him fall in love with life again. it takes some crossing off for eddie to realise—the thing at the top of the list in his own heart? it’s been right here all along

Leave the Light On (I'll Be Coming Home) by HMSLusitania/ @hmslusitania (Canon Divergent, Amnesia AU, Post-Season 5 | 44K | Mature): An accident on a call leaves Buck with custody of Chris after Eddie is... missing presumed. While they navigate their new family circumstances -- and fight to stay together, despite Eddie's parents' best efforts -- a John Doe wakes up in a coma ward with no memory of his own life beyond the knowledge he has a son named Christopher and, somehow, he needs to get home.

Leading with the Left by letmetellyouaboutmyfeels/ @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels (Canon Divergent, Different First Meeting, Stripper Buck | 84K | Explicit): When Buck said he was a "bartender" in "South America" what he actually meant was "stripper" in "Mexico." And when Eddie said, "What's your problem?" what he actually meant was, "Is this about the time you gave me a lap dance?" In other words, there's a few things the 118 doesn't know about Buck. Or Eddie. Or Buck and Eddie's relationship.

for all the haunts and homes of men by euadnes/ @kananjarus (Canon Divergent, Post-Apocalyptic, Station Eleven Crossover | WIP | 9/? | 69K | Mature | Warning: Violence): The year by the old calendar is 2025. Home is gone. Home is a failed rescue mission and an echo of a memory. Home is a lost boy living in a wooden house by the sea. But first, there was a promise. Christopher, when it's safe, I'll take you back to your father. Buck had all but given up on keeping it after the world had died and everyone in it. But just as some oaths refuse to be forgotten, so the same can be said about the endurance of love.

(yes I put a WIP there because it's just that good)
