You got any favourite Buck & Tommy whump fics?

(I am now on a BuckTommy kick bc of you. I hope you are happy with yourself 😂)

Asdfghjkl OH OH! My friend. You have no idea the can of worms you've just opened 👀👏 I take full responsibility for your BuckTommy obsession because I am obsessed with them and I need more friends to be obsessed with the BuckTommy whump with me. But oh my god YES I HAVE RECS FOR YOU!! Did you know that I clicked on the BuckTommy tag on AO3 and, after filtering out the things that squick me out, I went page by page looking and reading any scrap of whump and angst (specifically Tommy focused cause I want him HURT) that I could find? Did you know that that was over 600 AO3 pages of fanfics I went through? And that I bookmarked like 150 individual fics? When I tell I went crazy over these two...I WENT CRAZY. So yes I have fics to rec!

Brace yourself! This gonna be HUGE. And there's more to read on my AO3 bookmarks if you want to look (under aceofwhump)

(I also may have started writing a few of my own inspired by the prompts for BuckTommy whump week that I missed so we'll see if I can finish those because apparently I can't finish a fanfic to save my life lately)

Tommy whump centric

Hold on a little longer and believe I'm here to stay by salty_autistic_writer Summary: "You don't want to know this about me, Evan," Tommy says after a moment of hesitation, his walls cracking for a volatile moment, pain flickering in his eyes before he tries his best to look indifferent again.

Buck feels hurt. "What are you talking about? I'm in love with you, Tommy, I want to know everything about you."

Oh. This was not how and when he wanted to say it.

Buck knows he's in love with Tommy but has a feeling that Tommy is keeping something from him. The inevitable confrontation reveals scars and shows they will have to fight for their happiness together.

TW: suicidal thoughts, suicide attempt,

nothing to worry about by elizabethgee Summary: It's early in their relationship. Tommy gets hurt, and Buck tries to figure out how to take care of his new boyfriend.

The Path to Burnout, Anxiety, High Emotions, and Really Missing Your Boyfriend By Tommy Kinard by bccw13 Summary: Three weeks of misaligned schedules, picking up shifts, helping or hanging out with friends and family, Tommy was exhausted. A particular bad day at the end of a long three weeks has Evan helping his man let it all out.

When evening falls so hard by xanthippe74 Summary: Tommy remained silent for the entire ride home, and when they were stopped at a red light, Buck glanced over and saw that he had propped his elbow on the door in order to cover his eyes with one hand. Light sensitivity, Buck told himself. A common concussion symptom. Tommy definitely wouldn’t be crying in Buck’s truck right now. Not unflappable, confident Tommy.

There was something going on with him—something more than being shaken up by an accident.

Three weeks after their disastrous post-breakup hookup, Buck gets an unexpected call from Tommy.

The Devil Doesn't Bargain by torturedslothdepartment Summary: Tommy Kinard lived a whole life before he walked into Evan Buckley's life, and it's not one that he's offered up much of so far. Until Evan starts asking questions.

TW: graphic depictions of rape/sexual assault, abuse, military abuse, self harm, suicide attempt.

grayscale mountains of monotone thoughts by xTarmanderx Summary: Tommy’s depression gets the better of him after a rough shift.

Focus by firewasabeast Summary: “Focus. Focus, focus, focus, focus.” The words stumbled out of his mouth unconsciously. His fingers tapped against his thigh rapidly. His eyes were wide but hazy; blearily searching for something to center on but coming up empty.

“Focus, focus, focus.”

He was sweating. It dripped down his forehead, off his eyebrow, to his cheek. It tickled as it ran over his nose. It gave him chills on the back of his neck.

“Focus, focus.”

His leg shook, bouncing up and down anxiously. It was hard to breathe. Hard to breathe the way he needed to breathe anyway. He could only inhale part of the way, short and stunted exhales making him dizzy.

He could hear people yelling at him. Could hear them calling his name.

They might as well have been speaking a foreign language.

A tunnel to crawl through by prufrocks Summary: Evan sits back on his haunches, unweighting Tommy's legs, and he feels like maybe he could float away from here, unmoored as he is from the bed, from the situation. He's in trouble now, or he will be in a few seconds, but for just this moment he's removed from the forces of gravity, and it feels nice.

"Tommy," Evan says, a tremor in his voice, and that's enough to bring Tommy rocketing back down to Earth. "That wasn't a sext, was it."

Tommy makes a decision. Buck meets him halfway.

TW: suicide attempt

White Noise by seisirasei Summary: Tommy never meant to chase after the call—he certainly never meant to get buried under a crumbling house with too many regrets and a body giving out beneath him. But one bad feeling led to a collapse, a broken leg, and a 9-1-1 call he almost didn’t make.

With Maddie on the line and the 118 closing in, Tommy confronts more than just the pain.

Threshold by seisirasei Summary: Excerpt: Tommy stumbled to the door, every step a battle against the waves of heat and exhaustion that threatened to pull him under. When he opened the door, he thought he must be hallucinating.

“Ev—” he tried to say, but his throat was too dry, his voice too weak. He swayed on his feet, his vision blurring.

“Tommy!”

What You Wanted, What I Needed by seisirasei Summary: One desperate night forces Tommy to confront his broken pieces—and the one person who’s always willing to be there to hold him together.

Excerpt: "Why not me?" Tommy whispered, his voice breaking, tears streaming down his face. "Why can’t I be enough for you?"

Buck cupped Tommy’s face, his thumbs brushing away the tears. "Tommy," he said softly, his own voice trembling, "you’ve always been enough. You just have to believe it."

the air it hurts by Anonymous Summary: After Tommy gets hurt in a near-fatal accident, he learns that there are some things he doesn't have to be afraid of. And that he no longer has to feel jealous of the family he left before it became one.

Hang on 'til the hurt is gone by tabbytabbytabby Summary: After a long shift, all Tommy wants is to spend the next two days off with his boyfriend. Unfortunately, a bout of food poisoning threatens to derail that, but Evan is there to help him through it.

Throw Me In The Deep End by MustLoveTommy Summary: It's a great day for Buck since he will get to spend the next two days with Tommy. Unfortunately, Tommy sends him a message that changes all their plans.

TW: depression

The Fire in the Fall by writerdot Summary: The air feels suffocating and even through his turnouts, the heat is reaching unbearable levels and they haven’t even entered the complex yet. He looks at the burning building in front of him and sighs, thinking that he would pick today, one of the worst days he’s had in a long time, to volunteer to help with ground ops.

Or: Tommy Kinard has a very bad day.

Sick of It by firewasabeast Summary: In which Tommy gets sick, and he and Buck head towards making up.

The Things I Cannot Change by firewasabeast Summary: Buck thought he and Tommy knew everything about each other. Thought their relationship was as solid as ever. Until Gerrard mentions a military operation from Tommy past, and a confirmation from Eddie makes Buck realize he might not know Tommy at all.

TW: depression

No Man Left Behind by firewasabeast Summary: Eddie linked his hands together. “This is gonna hurt like hell,” he warned before using all of his strength to pull Tommy out of the helicopter.

The scream that escaped Tommy as Eddie pulled on him could have taken him right back to Afghanistan, if he'd let it. A guttural scream that verged on sounding more like an animal than a human.

“I know, I know,” Eddie soothed even as he continued to drag Tommy across the wet, muddy ground. “Gotta keep going. I think it's gonna blow.”

Tommy tried to look up toward the sky, focus on the clouds, the trees overhead, the sun trying to poke through. But the pain was too much, so he squeezed his eyes shut and opened his mouth wide and let himself yell in a way he'd never yelled before. His arms dropped to the side, fingernails scrapping through the mud and leaves as Eddie pulled and tugged and said things that Tommy couldn't bother to hear over his own cries.

Hold me on my bad day by bidisasterevankinard Summary: Tommy had a bad day, has an awful morning he starts as blanket burrito, but his boyfriend's cuddles make it better

The Weight of the Past by adoctoraday Summary: Sometimes the weight of the past is just too much to carry alone--and now, Tommy has Evan to help him shoulder this burden.

a fevered blur by aceanx Summary: Buck is a damn good firefighter. He knows every piece of equipment and what it does back to front, he’s able to get dressed in under thirty seconds, and his overall response time is pretty damn quick, in his eyes. He’s aced every test he’s done for the academy, even when he had to get cleared for duty multiple times, and he’s read the manuals backward and forward more times than he cares to admit.

He’s put blood, sweat and tears into this job. He loves nothing more than being a firefighter. His concern is never about himself on the job. He knows he’s capable and he knows even if something were to happen, he would be alright. He can handle the strain of the job. He’s nearly died several times and has actually died once, after all. If getting struck by lightning hasn’t scared him away from the job, nothing will.

Buck’s a damn good firefighter, except when it comes to his loved ones getting hurt.

That’s the one thing he can’t handle.

another "buck finds out tommy's chopper has crashed" and cue panic.

You Ask How I'm Doing Like You Knew What Was Wrong by Snaptic Summary: Eddie saw Tommy freeze as the first string of fireworks went off in the distance. He had flinched, and his quick scan of the yard had brought his attention to his friend, who had gone so still he could be a statue.

Tommy finds a sense of belonging with the 118. In Buck's absence, Eddie steps up.

I Am The Broken, I Am The Wound by NeverlandPoet (do_androids_dream) Summary: Buck found Tommy in the bathroom, a dark shade crouching next to the shower, clasping his knees. He dropped down, put the phone aside and let its light illuminate parts of the ceiling. It was enough to see Tommy’s face, absolutely frightened, eyes wide open, staring into the void. He was panting way too fast, close to hyperventilating. Buck knew these signs.

“Tommy. Hey. Look at me, okay? I’m here,” he whispered, his voice hoarse for some reason. “What... what's going on?”

“I don't know,” Tommy said, almost sobbing, “I don't know, I just don't know.”

Microsleep by salty_autistic_writer Summary: After showing up at the hospital after his long and hard shift, Tommy is so tired he's experiencing microsleeps. Buck drives him home. (Written for Whumptober Day 8: Sleep Deprivation)

The Bracelet She Wore by space_cadet09 Summary: Buck and Tommy enjoy a relaxed day exploring LA. Their peaceful outing takes a dramatic turn when they witness a violent crime on the street. As Buck springs into action to help the victim, Tommy is overwhelmed by a traumatic memory from his childhood. This event forces Tommy to confront the deep pain of his past. As Buck supports Tommy through this emotional journey, their bond deepens, showcasing their love and mutual support.

The Fire is Inside the House by Writer_Lethogica Summary: Evan "Buck" Buckley is fighting a wildfire with the 118, when he sees a helicopter crash - the helicopter of his boyfriend, Tommy Kinard. It's a race against time to find Tommy before the wildfire hits the crash site. Part 6 of Denial-verse

thursday's child has far to go by vincerets Summary: Tommy laughs, as much as it can be called a laugh when he can barely get the air to do it, but his breath still grazes against Buck’s lips, the ghost of what he really wants. It’s warm, and Tommy’s still looking at him, and it’s been eighteen days, and he’s baked on nearly every one of them. They’re in a crashed helicopter and Tommy’s pinned down and it’s a terrible idea and it’s been eighteen days, he’s counted every one, and-Buck kisses him. Tommy's helicopter goes down. Buck copes. Kind of. Hey - he never said he was coping well.

Please, I've Been On My Knees (Change The Prophecy) by unhingedangstaddict Summary: Tommy leaned against a tree and tried to catch his breath. It wasn’t exactly easy between the intense heat, thick smoke, and the painful ache in his ribcage. He guessed it had to be at least seven or eight broken ribs, but he wasn’t a doctor nor was he going to poke around at his chest and try to figure it out- it didn’t matter anyway. His head was throbbing in pain and his limbs felt incredibly heavy. The ringing in Tommy’s ears hadn’t stopped, and the pain in his shoulder and arm was getting worse and worse.

But Evan was waiting for him.

This was not how Evan Buckley would turn out to be his last.

Tommy pushed himself up off the tree he’d been leaning against and continued walking.

I See the Memories (and the Tragedies) by DarkAliceLilith Summary: “C-can’t b-breathe.”

Unbroke hearts like yours (what'd you wanna waste that on me for) by allthefandoms84 Summary: Tommy has regretted leaving Buck almost the instant he left that fateful night but he doesn't believe he is worthy of being in Buck's life. Tommy is hurting after the break up but refuses to allow his friends to see how much he misses his Evan. After an accident leaves Tommy hurt he still refuses any help during his recovery until Buck bullies his way back into Tommy's life. Refusing to believe they are truly over Buck has his work cut out for him convincing Tommy he deserves good things.

all this love i've thrown away by jamesandanthony Summary: The first thing Tommy notices upon coming back to his senses is the cold.

Despite the rain, he doesn't remember the day being particularly cool when he'd left for work that morning so he cracks open his eyes to take stock of what is almost certainly some kind of situation with a capital S.

Ah yes.

The ground had swallowed him up as he'd landed.

Silly of him to forget.

Dear Agony by NeverlandPoet (do_androids_dream) Summary: BuckTommyWhumpWeek, Day 5: Hypothermia

Buck whump centric

Because Evan Buckley was loved. by Emaisnialleraf Summary: Based off my twitter prompt : Another flash of lightning shoots across the room as arms around his waist draw him closer. He feels Tommy press a sleepy kiss against his curls. "S'okay, sweetheart." A heavy palm trails softly across his back to calm the trembling. "I'm right here."

Give Me Tonight by Lostintheuniverseslies Summary: Buck didn’t want to jump. Not at first. Sitting on the edge of a condemned high-rise, tequila warming his veins and quieting his thoughts, he wonders if making the silence permanent wouldn’t be so bad. Then Tommy shows up—blue flight suit, steady hands, and a voice that refuses to let him disappear.

TW: depression, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempt

a vessel, tempest driven by saintsurvivor Summary: Sent to a medical call at an elderly couple's bungalow with reports of a suspected heart attack and the victim having been trapped against the front door, the 118 hits tragedy midway through a twenty four hour shift.

A roaring sound, rhythmic and constant, a heavy breeze that just touches him. Buck turns towards it, magnetized. “You’re alright, son,” Bobby tells him, orders him, as if Bobby could simply stop time and death and Buck’s own body in its tracks. “You’re gonna be just fine.” The blue and red lights of the Ladder Truck, illuminating the street, but still Buck’s eyes threaten failure, blurring until it melts into one.

Both Buck and Tommy get whumped

Hold My Hand, I'll Walk With You My Dear by salty_autistic_writer Summary: Everything’s been nice so far. Nice and cosy. Buck has been feeling content and he does like the movie. He’s snuggled up to Tommy, who radiates body heat. He even was considering putting his head on Tommy’s shoulder. But now, Buck suddenly can’t focus on the movie anymore. Another full-body shiver catches him. His mind feels foggy and floaty. And somehow, he feels a restlessness settling in that absolutely makes no sense in this situation.

Stunned, Buck realizes that he’s scared.

Or: 5 times Buck and Tommy talk about their fears and 1 time they defeat fear together.

Evan’s in front of him in an instant.

“Tommy,” Evan says, voice insistent and when he looks up, Evan is shaking, hard, and...is that water?

Evan’s covered in it, from head-to-toe, curls plastered to his forehead. Tommy can feel himself shaking now, freezing, his body aches and he’s wet too, what the hell?

“Tommy,” Evan is insistent. “Tommy, baby, I need you to wake up!”
