This event celebrating our very own Evan "Buck" Buckley from 9-1-1 will be held from the 12th until the 18th of August 2024.
You don't need to sign up to participate, just make sure that when you post your work here on Tumblr, you use the tag #buckweek2024. Since tags can get a bit finicky here on Tumblr, you can choose to let us know you posted by also tagging @evanbuckleyweek in your post. Fics posted to ao3 can be added to the Evan Buckley Week 2024 collection.
We've provided prompts for edits as well as fanfiction and art. However, you don't have to stick to one specific list. We encourage you to choose from whichever one sparks joy, as long as you make sure to post on the corresponding day the prompt belongs to!

Fic & art
For fics and art we're giving you a few prompts to choose from every day. You can choose only one of these, or choose to combine two or all three of them! Every day consists of a line, a theme and a feeling.
Every part of the prompts is completely open to your interpretation. Surprise us with your creativity! We look forward to your fics and all variations of art and other creative works!

Some last things before you go and create your masterpieces:
Please make sure that your fics on ao3 are tagged with the proper ratings and warnings.
We want to ask you to refrain from submitting any of the following: works with character bashing or ship bashing as well as works containing explicit rape/non-con, pedophilia and incest (exploring the aftermath or trauma of these things is okay). Fics that do contain any of these will not be accepted into the ao3 collection and posts will not be reblogged to the Evan Buckley Week blog.
If you have a question, check our FAQ page to see if the answer is there or drop an ask in our inbox!
I've been thinking about Madney's wedding and I just can't stop imagining Buck and Eddie as Mónica and Chandler from friends. Just hear me out, I know the Buckley parents are trying their best but what if they still let out remarks like 'this will be the only wedding we're attending' or 'we're so happy to see Maddie get happily married, this might be the one for a LONG time'
And Buck knows that he shouldn't pay attention to their parents remarks but he also agrees with what they are saying. It has been weeks since Natalia and he broke up and he's almost as lost as he was after the lightning strike. He still tries his best to not let his parent's remarks get to him and fully enjoy his sister's wedding. He's not sure how much he succeeded though. Now imagine,
Eddie: So you're not upset about what your parents said, right?
Buck: Wouldn't you be? I mean they weren't exactly wrong.
Eddie: Hey, I know it's a very emotional time for you and you've had a lot of drinks but you need to let that go. I mean you were the most beautiful man in the room tonight.
Buck: Really?
Eddie: Are you kidding? You're the most beautiful man in most rooms-
And then they kiss now also imagine the morning after where Chimney is excited and running in Eddie's room about how he's going to get married today and once he leaves, Buck's like 'Do you think he saw I was here?'
Now ofc there will be angst on how are oblivious idiots would be sure that this is just fwb for them yk a friend helping another friend and it takes a lot of miscommunication and finally communication to know that they really do love each other.
(I know I should stop with my ideas considering exams and my wips but I can't help it lol)
Maybe I can write this one for didn't know they were dating prompt of buddie week where Buck is clear this was a one time thing and Eddie is sure that ofc Buck knows that I like him so much.
I would love to see trope upon trope used in the lead up to Buddie becoming canon.
Obvious pining; unrequited but not really pining; lack of communication with each other (talking to everyone else except each other); dramatic declarations of feelings in life-or-death situation; hospital bedside love declaration; and then some good juicy misunderstandings and miscommunication leading to them not getting together right away but to a big dramatic screaming fight instead. Maybe it even gets a little bit physical (wrestling, not punching) before they finally kiss. And one runs away. And so it goes on into season 8…
I really want Buddie to get together, but what I don’t want is it to be fast, or easy. I want the drama, the tension. I want to see Eddie struggle with accepting his queerness, and then coming out. I want to see Buck struggle with believing that Eddie could love him while wanting it desperately.
I want it to be drawn out and have us keen for more next season. No sweet and fluffy happily ever after too soon. That’s when shit gets boring.
Basically, I want all the tropes from all the Buddie fics that thousands of us have written to come true in canon. There is a reason they are so prevalent and so popular. Everyone loves them! And after 6 seasons, by gum we deserve them.
Pretty please with a cherry on top. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
I decided to revisit Quinn since I remembered I created him
Anyone who remembers him; good for you
Anyone who has no idea who this is; Quinn/Numbuh 98 is my KND OC who was Head of Decommissioning before Numbuh 86
He’s my son who js the best and the worst at the same time. He’s a hypocrite who doesn’t know it and thinks he’s in the right all the time. Also he’s in a garage band that makes bad music
Also a little relationship chart for him, pre-canon and during canon
Chart transcript below
Chart One:
Quinn to Chad: So why can’t you see my worth?
Chad to Quinn: The greatest Head of Decom the KND has had
Quinn to Infinity: When did you get here??
Infinity to Quinn: Watch yourself.
Quinn to 100: It was an honour to working with you
100 to Quinn: I know you won’t let me down
Quinn to Hoagie: This kid is scarily good at tech
Hoagie to Quinn: The guy who keeps commissioning new weapons
Quinn to Herbie: 86’s annoying friend
Herbie to Quinn: You definitely keep Francis busy
Quinn to Rachel: What’s your problem?
Rachel to Quinn: Jerk!
Quinn to Fanny: My second-in-command! You mean a lot to me
Fanny to Quinn: You’ve taught me a lot! I trust you
Quinn to Patton: 86’s weird friend
Patton to Quinn: Fulbright is with you a lot
Quinn to Abby: Don’t worry about it
Abby to Quinn: I’m sorry about her
Quinn to Nigel: You’d have a lot of potential working in Decom
Nigel to Quinn: … Okay
Quinn to Cree: That was a cowardly betrayal
Cree to Quinn: You made everything so difficult
Quinn to Maurice: The feeling’s mutual
Maurice to Quinn: I respect you a lot
Chart Two:
Quinn to Chad: … Are you okay?
Chad to Quinn: You’re here too?
Quinn to Wally: Brat (derogatory)
Wally to Quinn: Shut up! Cruddy teenager!
Quinn to Kuki: No! Stop touching my stuff!
Kuki to Quinn: Can I play your cool instrument?
Quinn to Hoagie: What’s wrong with you kids?
Hoagie to Quinn: Why is your equipment so broken? What’d you do??
He was a bit unsure at first as the flakes were so huge, but then he realized they didn't hurt when they hit him in the head, so he went for an explore.
“I’m not letting you go.” Eddie can actually feel the tension headache building behind his eyes. It’s only their second shift, only their first call of this second shift, and already he’s considering asking to be transferred to a different station.
Or, glimpses at Buck and Eddie’s life together and the promises they make to each other
