To support each other in curating our experience as a fandom who all share a love for 9-1-1 at least, could we just collectively agree to tag either "Evan "Buck" Buckley/Eddie Diaz" OR "Evan "Buck" Buckley/Tommy Kinard" on AO³, according to the endgame of a fictional work, and never both (unless you are writing a polyamory relationship or parallel universes within your work)? Of course, there are filters to exclude tags, but I believe we'd curate a much less tense experience for all of us if we kept in mind that most readers are trying to look specifically for either a Buddie or a BuckTommy endgame.

Plus, you can also tag the less important relationship in a story with the "&" tag. (However, as correctly advised: the & tags are for platonic relationships.)

#911 #911 fandom #911 fic #buddie #bucktommy #i don't think writers are doing this to spite fans of either ship #they are probably hoping for a bigger audience and consider both ships important for their work #which is actually fair enough and writers deserve all the validation and acknowledgment #but in most cases the endgame is quite apparent and thus i also empathize with readers who are irritated #especially within the bucktommy tag it feels like every third or fourth work is actually a buddie fic #and of course it happens the other way around too #the quote is just far less notable within buddie due to its total numbers of works (which is no surprise after nearly 6 seasons)
