Ren's 200 Follower Fic Rec
The people spoke, so here it is... a collection of *some* of my favorite fics of all time. It was so incredibly difficult to not have this post be miles long; please know if i've ever left a comment or kudos on your fic I adored it, if we're mutuals and you write fic I adore it, and if we don't know each other and you write fic, I adore it.
(sorry this is being posted later than I intended! It truly was so hard to narrow down the fics mentioned here.)
9-1-1
Summary: Eddie repeats his affirmations in the mirror every morning, while he shaves the stubble from his jaw.
My name is Eddie Diaz. I am autistic. I am gay. I am a good dad and I am a good person. I deserve to be happy and I deserve to feel good.
(It's taken him a long to be able to say it outside of his head. It's taken him an even longer time to say it and believe it.)
Why I love it: I will never stop talking about this fic. It’s a beautiful depiction of Eddie Diaz coming to terms with being gay and autistic, featuring ADHD!Buck. I cannot describe how soft and comforting and healing this fic is. I haven’t read the final installment because I don’t want this series to end!
Summary: Buck and Eddie decide to become platonic domestic partners and co-parents. They are 100% super normal about it and absolutely nothing is awakened in them, except a mutual annoyance at being referred to as "husbros."
Why I love it: This is the fic that brought me to the 9-1-1 fandom! It’s a funny and sweet and gorgeously written journey of heartfelt relationships. There's just something so compelling about Buck and Eddie figuring themselves out, step-by-step, together.
Fight in the Shadows by @thekristen999 (ao3: kristen999)
Summary: The 118 are summoned to a distant location in the desert, become trapped, have to fight for their lives, and Buck and Eddie finally realize they've been pining for each other for years. Now, if they can all make it out alive.
Why I love it: WOW, this fic absolutely gripped me with an iron fist — I could not put it down. Such a fast-paced, plot-driven force with an expert handle of the action/thriller genre.
Summary: Buck is a children's librarian at the branch closest to Eddie's house. When he gets himself involved in the lives of a cute kid and his handsome single dad, he gets a glimpse of what he wants in life. It might just take a few years to get it.
Why I love it: I love any fic that explores how good Buck is with kids, and this has truly lovely moments between him and Chris. Plus, librarian!Buck is too perfect, and so is the slow burn of this fic.
Summary: Eddie knows it’s him immediately. Feels the weight of his presence like a favorite coat that doesn’t quite fit anymore. Of course he does. Try as he might, Eddie will never not know when Buck is nearby. They are too intertwined. Had become too embedded in each other’s lives before- well, before everything. Before death doulas and school projects, lightning strikes and gunshots, poker games and treasure hunts. Long before Christopher graduated high school, Bobby retired and Hen became captain, and Buck… disappeared.
One day he and Buck were moving Christopher into his dorm room, laughing and making plans to send care packages from themselves and Tía Pepa. And the next Eddie felt like he was reliving I need some time too all over again.
OR After Chris leaves for college Buck mysteriously disappears. Five years later he finally returns with some answers.
Why I love it: See, the core of both Eddie and Buck's characters is that they are, in essence, dumbasses. When a fic explores them being idiots, running from each other, and coming back together, I simply adore it.
Summary: Buck comes out to Hen and Karen after realising that he's bi.
Why I love it: Everyone say "thank you" to Renee for writing the Buck/Hen/Karen coming out conversation we deserved and didn't get.
Summary: “Have you seen Eddie?”
Albert looks up at him, frowning. “Did they not tell you?” he asks, wrinkling his brow. He wipes the back of his hand over his forehead, smearing soot and sweat and wet ash like watercolor paint. “He’s on his way to the hospital. Jonah’s with him.
Why I love it: Bobby calls Buck "baby" (in a father-caring-for-his-son way) in this and sometimes I still just think about that. Additionally, Amanda writes so viscerally that it's impossible to not feel everything the characters are feeling: the dread, the fear, the relief.
hits like ecstasy by @housewifebuck (ao3: roseapothecarys)
Summary: Much to Buck’s continued mortification, it doesn’t end there. Eddie keeps finding every opportunity to praise him, whether on his appearance, or his cooking, or his actions on a call, and Buck’s body keeps responding like that of a horny teenager.
For the life of him, he can’t seem to figure out if Eddie’s always been this verbally appreciative, or if something has changed. It’s not like Eddie never says nice things to him, but this feels bigger somehow, more intentional. He watches the rest of the team surreptitiously whenever it happens at work, and nobody else seems to have any reaction whatsoever to Eddie saying things like, ‘you’re so good at that,’ when Buck does something as simple as successfully flipping a pancake in a frying pan.
or: eddie starts complimenting buck...a lot. surely he has no ulterior motive.
Why I love it: Buck slowly losing his mind over Eddie complimenting and praising him is just a pleasure to read. The details are so well-crafted and placed that I could see every expression and blush on Buck's face and could practically hear the gears of his mind grinding to a halt each time Eddie told him he's good.
Nothing's Gonna Happen by @jesuisici33 (ao3: jesuisici33)
Summary: “Oh, I’d still take you.”
“You think so?”
“I know. You wanna go for the title?”
or; what eddie wished would've happened instead of playing video games
Why I love it: Call it a fix-it fic, call it an alternative scene, call it canon divergent, all I know is this fic had me chewing drywall.
Summary
Why I love it: I keep trying to get myself to stop listing fic but omg I have to include this one, it's so good. A Hunger Games AU with all of the things we know and love from the original novels/movies, but distinctly 9-1-1. Eddie and Buck are perfectly characterized as Katniss and Peeta, and I was so in awe of the skilled writing that brings those characters into this new setting, exploring how they're different or familiar from their characterization in 9-1-1 without losing any of the essence of either world. LOVE this.
9-1-1: Lone Star
CW: eating disorder
Summary: To TK, the kitchen is a place of joint cooking with his new boyfriend, his friends' laughter, and most of all - dread.
At 2AM, the hook of it extracted TK from Carlos’ arms, pulled him to the freezer on bare feet. He could navigate the townhouse blind now, feeling protected by the darkness as he found the cutlery drawer. One spoonful, just so he could sleep in peace again. No one was here to see it, no one would know. He’d keep the freezer open at first. Sometimes that works.
Why I love it: When I say I love hurt/comfort, this is what I'm talking about. There's something so beautiful in TK struggling with a vehicle through which Carlos expresses his love and this is such an empathetic story about those struggles. I love that TK and Carlos aren't always in sync here, and yet they love each other through that. Just... gorgeous, heart-wrenching, loving writing.
Summary: Is it still a thing if nothing physical is happening? If they aren’t formally dating? If they’re just talking, constantly but not consistently; talking, but not really sharing much of anything new or deep? Just -- talking, a string running between two tin cans, sometimes loose and sometimes taut, that one or the other of them can always pull on, can always pick up, can always find the other person, ready and waiting and willing on the other end.
or: TK & Carlos Just Talking (TM), spanning from 1x03 to 1x08.
Why I love it: The thing about this fic that has stayed with me the most is the distinct, reconizable voice it's written in. As a collection of codas and interstitials, you could remove any identifying details and it would clearly be a 9-1-1: Lone Star fic. At the same time, it feels so truly and personally Carlos that it goes beyond the constraints of canon. This paragraph may read as word salad but trust me, read this fic and it'll make sense.
Summary: In which a werewolf and a hunter save each other, fall in love, and save each other some more.
Why I love it: There is a criminal lack of werewolf AUs in this fandom, and this is an absolutely excellent one. I love all of the different plot layers and how they weave together - they create such intrigue and suspense.
Summary: Good friends TK and Carlos fall asleep together and wake up spooning. Now what?
Why I love it: An excellent friends-to-lovers fic! One of my favorite parts of the friends-to-lovers trope is the moment when one of the characters has their moment of realization, when they understand their feelings for the other person. It might hit them over the head, it may slowly dawn on them, and this fic creates a moment that's two magnets clicking together, and I adore it.
Butterflies and Sky-High by @paperstorm (ao3: paperstorm)
Summary: TK leans in closer and rests his forehead against Carlos’s cheek, understanding that this is hard for him. Carlos is so heart-warmed by the gesture that it gives him the courage to say, “I’ve been reading about demisexuality. It’s this thing where …”
“I know what it means,” TK says softly, and thank God he does because Carlos isn’t sure he would have done justice to an explanation anyway. Not right now.
“I think … maybe I am. That. I didn’t think I was anything other than gay but then I was reading and some stuff started to make sense.”
Why I love it: The first scene completely drew me into this fic, and it's beautifully written all the way through. Demi Carlos is so special to me, and this portrayal feels so honest and true to Carlos' character. Him turning his thoughts about demisexuality and his identity over and over in his head before finally needing Paul to help him make sense of it is just so perfect - I always need more of those two. I love the moments of backstory we get for TK, and when he meets Carlos' vulnerability with "Tell me everything"? Swoon.
Summary: Nancy moves away to university and meets her best friend along the way. A path of self-discovery and the beauty of friendship.
Why I love it: Carlos and Nancy bestieism might actually fix me. I love this as a college AU, I love Nancy scheming, and I love the whisper of hurt/comfort. Such a good fic!

“I just…” Buck says, his eyes downcast. “Things were going so well. Or I thought they were. I mean—was I just making that up in my head? I just don’t—I don’t know what’s wrong with me, that Tommy can’t see a future with me.” Fuck. Fuck. Eddie has kept his silence about his feelings in order to protect the happiness he’s seen bursting out of Buck since this thing with Tommy started. But he’s fucking everything up anyway. Worse—he’s fucking everything up by staying silent. “Did he say that?” he asks weakly. “That he can’t see a future with you?” Buck nods. “Well. Basically. He said it’s hard to see a future with someone when he thinks he’s going to get his heart broken. But I—I don’t know why he’d say that, I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean.” He looks up, searchingly, into Eddie’s eyes. “What do you think that means?” Eddie closes his own eyes because he can’t face the anguish on Buck’s face. The anguish Eddie put there. It’s his fault, and if it’s his fault then that means it’s his job to fix it. “Eddie?” Eddie opens his eyes. He’s not going to be a coward. Not about this. “I think,” he says, “you’re the kind of person who’s worth getting your heart broken for.”
