Summary
“Nice to meet you,” Eddie nods to them both, eyes sliding to Captain Nash’s other side, where the fourth member of their little team stands. He’s the youngest of them, positioned with his chest puffed out and arms crossed.
Eddie knows his type—insecure guys who get all threatened when someone intrudes on their territory. It’s an unsurprisingly common archetype among young werewolves.
“Evan Buckley,” he says. “Buck.”
He holds out a hand for Eddie to shake, as the name clicks for Eddie—the one Captain Nash had been on the edge of warning him about. Terrorizer of probies, more than likely.
And he’s cold. It’s a sharp contrast to Eddie’s naturally higher body heat, and he’s sure that it’s a strange sensation for both of them. When he breathes in a little deeper to check, seeking out Buck’s scent, he stills. The coppery smell is strong, overwhelmingly so. Buck is cold, and pale, and slimmer than Eddie would expect a firefighter his age to be.
or; eddie is a werewolf new to la, with a coworker who smells a lot like his natural enemy

Summary
There were no hard and fast rules when it came to soulmarks, but there were a few generally accepted principles:
1. The marks are echoes of your soulmate’s first waking thoughts, usually in their native language.
2. The marks last anywhere from a few hours to a full day, depending on the intensity of emotion.
3. They appear sporadically, not every first thought is focused enough to appear as a mark.
4. They appear on your body the moment your soulmate wakes, regardless of time zone.
5. It’s rude to examine or comment on someone else’s marks
6. Evan “Buck” Buckley doesn’t have a soulmate.
Okay, maybe that last one was known only to two people, Buck himself and his sister Maddie, and Maddie refused to agree with him on this matter. Buck maintained however, that 28 years was plenty long enough to wait for an echo of his own without finally l accepting that, clearly, he was one of those unlucky few who didn’t get a soulmate. Sure, not everyone found their person- their echo, but most people at least got marks that gave them hope that their soulmate was out there somewhere. Not Buck, though. No, Buck was obviously meant to be alone forever. Or at least between hookups.

Summary
He realizes it right before everything goes to shit. He’s just standing there in the loft and Eddie’s handing him Christopher’s backpack and talking about “he’s not that fast” and “order pizza” and Buck sort of stares at him—partly in shock, partly in reverence—and he thinks "I love you." He shoves it down immediately, of course, as far down as it’ll go, but the fact of the matter is, it’s there somewhere, floating around inside of him. He can’t get rid of it now.
Not that it matters all that much, though, because there’s the whole quitting thing and the lawsuit thing and the argument in the grocery store and by the time he’s given his (re)start date he knows; he well and truly fucked up.

Summary
Chris remembers, suddenly, the days after his mom died, the feeling of dread that lingered under his skin. The way it slowly bubbled up, over the years, until he couldn’t be this kid anymore, this kid who could look at the world and not see danger in every corner. He wishes that Theo will never be like that. He knows, living with a first responder, that the odds of him turning out any other way are against him.
“Hey, Theo,” he says suddenly, the words spilling from his lips without permission. “Do you think Buck is your dad?”
Christopher isn't sure how he feels about Theo, or what he means for him and Buck. When they're caught up in a disaster alone, he has plenty of time to figure it out.

Summary
Buck knows it’s not sustainable by the fourth night, when he wakes up sweating and unable to breathe, one hand clutching his ribs where she’d stuck him the first time with the cattle prod and the other reaching to turn on the lamp at his bedside.
It’s been one week since he got back, so four sleepless nights puts him firmly in the "more bad than good" territory. What the hell is he supposed to do about all this shit? He alluded to therapy when he talked with Eddie at work the other day, but he’s not going to do that. Therapy is totally hit or miss for him. He’s been to two therapists, one was a miss, one a hit, which means he’s due for another miss.
He’s sure as hell not going to talk to Maddie about it, because that’d be, like, super triggering or something. She just got over her own kidnapping a few years ago. And who else, Eddie? Eddie had a traumatic experience in New Mexico as well; he doesn’t need to be responsible for Buck’s too.
But the fact of the matter is, something’s got to change. So, Buck decides to start self-medicating.

Summary
“Can we call someone for you?” the man asked. “A friend, a spouse?”
Buck thought of Eddie. Hen. Chimney. Bobby. He thought of them all out to dinner together at this very moment while he bled in an alley. He thought of the silence, the coldness, the looks he’d been getting from them since getting back to work.
He wouldn't have hesitated for a second to call Eddie just a few months ago.
He swallowed hard, looking back up. “No. There’s no one to call. Thanks.”
“Are you sure? You’re bleeding,” the woman pointed at her own lip, as if Buck was unaware he was bleeding from his.
“Yeah. I’m sure.”
OR: Buck is on the outs with his team after dropping the lawsuit and coming back to work. A night out with a couple guys from B-shift changes everything.

Summary
“Come on, Eddie,” Buck groans, “You may hide it well, but I know you don’t like Tommy.”
Eddie wants to open his mouth and start telling Buck he is wrong. Wants to explain that Buck has it all twisted. But, Buck doesn’t have it wrong. He has it exactly spot on.
Eddie envies Tommy. He has Buck. He has him and keeps letting him down.
All Eddie can think about in these moments is how much better Eddie could treat Buck. How Eddie could protect him better, love him better, appreciate him better. And in the dark of his room, blanketed in the cover of night: how much better he could pleasure Buck.
That last one was a recent addition to the list of things Eddie was sure he could do better than Tommy. It was one of the handful of things he kept locked in the deepest, darkest parts of his soul, only to emerge in the heat of the moment before being shoved back down in shame.
At Eddie’s silence, Buck lets out a frustrated sigh that snaps Eddie back into focus and the present situation.
5 times Tommy doesn’t show up for Buck so Eddie does instead, +1 time that Eddie made it clear to Buck that he wanted to be by his side for the rest of their lives.

“Have you ever been told you’re a carrier?”
Buck blinks, the words not processing right in his brain.
He’s not. He knows he’s not.
“No.” He says eventually. “No, i- i can’t be. I’m not.”
“Buck-”

Summary
Of all the things Eddie had ever expected Buck to ask him about, he absolutely hadn’t thought it would be his fake dating services.
“I... Yeah, I do. I do that. Why?”
“Well, um, I was wondering... And I know this sounds really weird, especially since I don’t think I’ve ever really talked to you before, which I’m sorry about, by the way, because I'm sure you’re a really cool guy, and I know I’ve seen you at some parties before, and we’ve been in this class together all semester, but—”
Finally, Eddie manages to pull himself together enough to hold up a hand to stop Buck’s rambling, and the boy immediately snaps his mouth shut, blue eyes wide and a little panicked.
“Buck, what exactly do you want?” he asks, brow furrowed with confusion, and Buck’s nervous shuffling increases tenfold, his smile completely gone now.
“Right. Um. I... I was wondering if maybe you’d be willing to, um... to fake date me.”

Eddie Diaz fake dates girls to make a little extra cash on the side. He's shocked when football star Evan "Buck" Buckley requests his services for the Christmas holiday.

Summary
Buck managed to push to his feet and took a step forward, swaying precariously.
“Stop, Buck! I’m coming to you!” Eddie shouted. “Don’t move!”
Buck took another step forward anyway, either not hearing Eddie or not comprehending what he said, and promptly lost his balance. He fell, tipping to the left, his shoulder colliding heavily with the fire-riddled wall. Eddie watched in horror as the flames made contact with Buck’s body, licking up at Buck’s face and neck where his skin was exposed.
The sound of Buck’s scream would haunt Eddie for a long, long time. He collapsed back down to the floor, his gloved right hand flying up to the burnt skin.
Or: Buck gets hurt on a call. It almost ruins his and Eddie's relationship.

The Diaz Study on Long-Term Exposure to the Buckley Variable: Statistically Significant, Emotionally Catastrophic, and Unmodeled by DamnSterek
Fandoms: 9-1-1 (TV)
15 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
Abstract: In a longitudinal assessment of the Buckley variable’s impact on Dr. Diaz, we document a surprising decline in objectivity, an alarming spike in flustered rambling, and multiple methodological failures including—but not limited to—accidental staring, uncontrolled blushing, and an unprecedented disregard for professional boundaries. Despite repeated replication attempts, no reliable strategy for emotional neutrality was found. The data strongly support the hypothesis that Subject Buckley is hazardous to academic composure. Peer review pending. Further study (and possibly therapy) is recommended.

Summary
It’s the middle of the night when Athena’s phone rings. A young police officer informs her that they’ve pulled over a drunk driver. A driver she knows. Evan Buckley.
Evan Buckley—a firefighter, a paramedic, a man she knows—has been arrested for driving under the influence. Twice the legal limit. Six cars wrecked. Forty thousand dollars in damage.
Athena has him locked up. Because it’s the right thing to do. Because the law doesn’t distinguish between a stranger and someone you care about. Because Buck is an adult who made a bad decision, and he has to face the consequences.
And Buck faces the consequences. He confesses. He goes to jail. He loses his job, his driver’s license, a part of himself. The people he loves are disappointed. Buck himself didn’t know why he did it. He just did it. And that was the worst part of all.
But then a single comment appears online. One angry waiter. One police officer who read it in the middle of the night and decided to come see Athena—even though he knew he was crossing a line.
And Athena starts asking questions that no one asks when a case is straightforward.Bookmarked by respoftw

"Hey," Eddie says. "Can we go outside for a minute?"
Buck looks up and his face is carefully neutral, which on Buck is the equivalent of a five-alarm blaze because this man has never been neutral about a single thing in his life.
"Sure."
They leave cash on the table and step out into the parking lot. The air is heavy and thick with honeysuckle and asphalt and the far-off electric promise of rain. The cat is gone and the neon sign buzzes above them, pink and sputtering.
"I don't want to stay here tonight," Eddie says.
Buck’s eyebrows tick up. "Okay?"
Hesitating, cutting a look back at the diner, Eddie says, "Look, I know we were gonna find a motel somewhere around here but this place doesn't sit right with me. I can't explain it. I'd rather just keep driving."
He's bracing for Buck to push back, to ask what specifically feels wrong, use this as a doorway back into the booth and the hand and all of it. But Buck just looks at his face for a second and nods.
"Yeah. Okay. Let's go."

The Android and The Firefighter by Buki_stories21

Summary
In 2037, a single father moves to Los Angeles in look for better job opportunities. Eddie Diaz, army veteran and newly firefighter, went to the 118 because it was the only station that didn't follow the normal 50% of personnel being androids.
It turns out the only android there ended up meaning to him more than he ever thought he would. BK-400, newest firefighter assistance model, named Buck by his coworkers, seemed to be more than just wires and blue blood.
