Summary
It had been a little over six weeks since he had had his first shift back. At first, he'd tried to act normal. He had already texted everyone how sorry he was in the old 118 group chat, though not a one of them had replied. When he'd walked into the loft at the start of that first shift, he'd given a smile and greeting that were no more than shadows of his usual bright personality due to nerves. The response had been curt, disinterested, like he was just some stranger. Nobody was outright mean. They were civil and professional, but that was almost worse.
Buck would've preferred they yelled at him, told him how much they hated him. He would've rather gone through a million and one versions of his argument with Eddie in the grocery store.
Instead, it was like they didn't care at all.
OR
Buck is suffering as the 118 ices him out after the lawsuit, and he's forced to try and cope with the fact that the little family he had found didn't seem to care about him anymore. But when he gets injured and Eddie finds out, he learns the truth.

Summary
Evan Buckley has always had an overactive imagination. It's what everyone said, when they weren't trying to diagnose him with something or calling him an attention seeker. By the time he landed a job on the fire station 118 in Los Angeles, he had the art of ignoring strangeness down to a science (mostly). And then the universe laughed in Buck's face.
Disappearing children, flying horses, giant human-eating dogs; LA had it all. If only someone else saw it.

Summary
"Busying himself with the envelope in his hands as an excuse not to help, he studied the letter in his hand. It was a small envelope, small enough to fit a postcard, just like the ones he used to send Maddie.
In black ink, his full name was inscribed in a deliberate stroke; neat and smooth, not unhurried or hesitant. Turning the envelope over, Buck froze as his eyes snagged on the neat handwriting.
Just above the return address was a name that Buck certainly would not have expected to have seen written there in a million years.
James Abernanthy."

What if Eddie Diaz was not the first friend that Buck ever fell in love with? What if he had a history of falling for his 'straight best friend' but repressed the shit out of it?
With his old friend sending him letters, asking for his forgiveness and a second chance, Buck has to reconcile with what this means for him.
--> set around the start of 8A but the plot has been completely botched for creative writing purposes

Summary
Ever since they flew into the heart of a hurricane to search for the cruise ship lost at sea, which happened to be the one their captain and his wife were on, Buck has had own storm of jealousy brewing inside him. Between a girlfriend and a new best friend, Eddie never seems to have any time for him anymore. Is he being selfish wanting Eddie to pay attention to him? Bouncing around him like an overeager puppy screaming look at me, look at me? Maybe. He knows his abandonment issues can turn pretty ugly. But maybe he can get somewhat of a handle on things with a bit of self-reflection, and maybe learn a few new things about himself.
On top of everything, someone might be trying to kill him.

Summary
“Everyone," Captain Richardson's voice rang out, shushing the last of the early morning conversation between his teammates. "I want to introduce you to the newest addition to Station 217. This is Firefighter Evan Buckley. He is an excellent firefighter and experienced pilot. Starting immediately, he will be stepping in as acting Lieutenant for A-Shift." Murmurs of surprise ripple through the lounge as Cap gestures to the blond man next to him, whose face is carefully neutral. "Kinard," Richardson addresses him.
"Yes, cap?" Tommy replies, meeting his captain's steady gaze.
"Show Buckley to the locker room and help him get settled." The captain replies, and Tommy sees the instruction for what it is: getting the new kid out of the way before the fallout of his arrival hits.OR
What if Buck had actually been in the Navy? What if he had a strong team of good friends? What if he felt like he had people outside the 118? What if they convinced him to walk away instead of suing? What if he landed on the doorstep of Harbor Station instead?
Just another "I hate the lawsuit arc" AU where Navy Seal Evan "Buck" Buckley decides to stick up for himself and walk away from the 118.

Summary

I'm bad at summaries. Just your typical post-lawsuit fic.

Summary
Buck was riding the high of his first successful solo debut, still nursing the ache of someone who walked away, when he got news that blindsided him—his upcoming solo tour wouldn’t be so solo after all. He’d be sharing the stage with Eddie Diaz, a rising country star with a mysterious past and a sound that was quickly blowing up.
At first, Buck hated the idea. The last thing he wanted was to split the spotlight he’d fought so hard for.
But then he actually got to know Eddie.
The problem? Buck had always blurred the line between friendship and something more—and with Eddie, it was getting harder to tell the difference.
or the pop star evan buckley and country singer eddie diaz slow burn angsty friends to lovers au.

Summary
St. Anthony’s was his last chance, and Evan knew that. He had been kicked out of five schools in the past six years, and after his sophomore year ended with a meeting between his parents and his last headmaster that could be summarized with: “we’re not kicking him out, but just know that Evan is not welcome back in September.” His parents wanted to send him to military school.
Evan knew he couldn’t survive military school, that would be his last drop, the one that finally shattered the vase. He couldn’t be the type of person that would be able to put himself back together once they broke him down.
This had to work.
. . .
Buck is the new kid in an El Paso boarding school, trying his best to stay out of trouble. Eddie is a rockstar (in the world of high school popularity) he's captain to the football team, he's dating the most popular girl in school, and looking at a full ride sports scholarship in the fall. He should feel like he won at life, which is why he doesn't understand why the only time he feels alive is when he catches a glimpse of the new guy on the running team.
Or in simpler terms: Buddie high-school AU!

Summary
If Buck thought the aftermath of the lawsuit was bad, it had nothing – absolutely nothing – on the Winchesters barreling into his life, finding out the apocalypse was imminent, that his own death was a seal, and a demon hitting on him.
He really should have realized that when an angel shows up to stop you from throwing yourself off a bridge, that it isn’t always a good thing.
----
After the lawsuit, Buck is back at work, hoping to reconcile. Only...it doesn't go as planned. His family hates him and after a lifetime of rejection it's one hit too many. Buck plans his goodbye…only a certain angel stops him, 'borrows' him, hands him the Winchester-patented starter's guide to hunting manual, and gives him purpose again. Too bad that angel was so busy saving Buck, they forgot about the goodbye letters left in the loft.
---
Buck rubbed at the bridge of his nose tiredly. "I'm pretty sure this is kidnapping."Dean scoffed. Sam shot him a look "Think of it as adult babysitting."
Gabriel waggled a bottle of top shelf bourbon from his perch on the TV stand. "With booze!"
Right. Buck eyed his new...friend, warily. "Okay, kidnapping adjacent."

Summary
Athena, May, and Harry step forward, and Buck follows behind them eagerly, but the nurse stops him.
“Just family for now, sorry.”
Oh.
Just family.
Which he is not. Not really. Even if he thinks he is. Even if he pretends. Even if they all let him pretend.
~~~
When Buck isn't allowed to see bobby at the hospital, he stresses about not having any "real" family. Eddie's obvious and completely normal answer to this is to get married have Buck adopt his son. Chris's abandonment issues and Eddie's ptsd thrown in for extra fun.

Margaret says, every inch the interfering grandmother, “Maddie, dear, are you thinking you’ll have another after this little one?”
"Maybe let her get through this one first,” Buck says.
Philip says, "We always thought two was the perfect number of children, you know. That way there’s always a parent available to drive each one around."
And Buck snaps, "Well that worked out for you, didn't it."

What starts as one scene quickly spirals into something deeper, something neither of them are quite ready to admit out loud.

Summary
Buck has spent most of his life locked in a tower, happily, he might add. He'd given up his life as a prince, and while he will never regret it, he wishes his dear sister would write back. Desperate to feel the connection they had, he strikes a deal with a trespassing thief to see the floating lanterns up close, one last time.
Eddie Diaz never lets himself want anything. Not when his son’s future depends on him stealing, doing whatever it takes to provide. But when he takes the crown, his last-ditch effort to finally stop running, he realises too late that he’s stolen more than he bargained for. Now, with half the kingdom at his heels, his only way out is a strange man with impossible hair and an even more impossible demand.
Two days. One journey. And a new dream neither of them is ready for.

Summary
Words couldn’t quite describe the feelings that had taken root in Buck these past few weeks. Like a tree, a small seed was planted and it just continued to grow, spreading its limbs to every part of Buck’s soul.
Hurt. Anger. Helplessness.
Buck just felt so…stuck. Trapped in a place he never wanted to be, but can’t find the strength to leave, because there is comfort here. Who knows what he will find on the other side. It could be worse than where he already is.
Buck had his routine. Wake up, go to work, come home, wallow in self pity, repeat. He can admit it wasn’t the greatest or healthiest routine, but it was better than nothing.
Or: Buck has been having feelings lately as he refuses to let go of the thing causing him pain. He is desperate to ignore them. Eddie is trying to help him work through them.
