HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope you’re having an extra special and amazing day!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉!!!!!!

Thank you so much!!! 💕💕💕☺️☺️☺️ In theory, I work today, but my work day has so far consisted of eating pancakes, finishing a ficlet, and knitting, so I’d say it’s going pretty well so far, haha!!

[newtkelly]

do you have any fun or silly bucktommy fic recs? im still a little down from last week's episode and could use a pick me up

definitely, here’s a few!

first of all, this is a perfect opportunity for me to recommend the recently published no crying in baseball by @geddyqueer [rated m l 12k words] • this has to be one of the funniest 9-1-1 fics i have ever read. tommy gets roped into coaching a middle school softball team and it’s just so fucking charming and well characterized and the original characters are very, very good (shout-out to the marcs and gonzo). also, because it’a so funny, the dark shit cuts deep. as light hearted as it can be, it’s also very striking at times. oh also if you’re a tommy stan, you will eat this up because it is truly a very well done character study wrapped inside a genuinely good story. i cannot say enough good things about it.

pinch-hit hero by @ashesandhalefire [rated e | 35k words] • don’t get me wrong, this story certainly has its serious moment, but there is something inherently fun about a porn-star au, and this one is absolutely perfect. it’s like, a meet cute over porn. there’s also this scene in between takes where buck is ‘fluffing’ tommy and it’s one of my favorite bucktommy fic scenes maybe ever. definitely check this one out.

the internet is for by @kirkaut [rated t | 7k] • everyone thinks buck is getting catfished because he met the perfect guy on his phone and it’s very sitcomy and cute and funny! i would read 10k more of this, it’s adorable.

okay last one for now is an all-time favorite, though it is unfinished. that being said, @lazybakerart i am legitimately NOT joking when i say…. i would commission you in a heartbeat to publish a third chapter. i know that’s so annoying but yeah this fic is an all-timer for me. mr. july by @lazybakerart [rated e | 14k wip] • this fic is so fucking good….. buck sees that tommy was mr. july in one of the lafd calendars and his day is RUINED. he’s HORNY. the klaxon is edging the hell out of him. it’s literally such a dreamy porn scenario and the cherry on top is that it’s really funny and charming, too. mr. july you are so famous to meeeee

[ihni]

This is for @lazybakerart since we chatted about Billy owning a plant. Imagine him painstakingly tending to a plant, trying to keep it alive after moving out from under Neil's house. Being terrified that it will die, because everything he touches turns to trash, and slowly healing, because he's learning that he can make something THRIVE instead.

And he totally sings to it, because he's heard that talking to plants is good for them, but he doesn't know what to talk to it about at first. Eventually, maybe he unloads the things he won't talk to anyone about on the little plant, and feels much better for it in the long run. <3

(And like @lazybakerart said - because they are full of great ideas - Billy names the plant Robert. Robert Plant. Because of course he does.)

[disdaidal]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I hope you’re having a really awesome day!! 🎉❤️⭐️🎉❤️⭐️!!!

THANK YOU!!!💕😍

[al-the-remix]

New ask game! Please recommend at least three of your favorite BuckTommy fic authors, artists, meta writers, gif makers, or edit makers. Maybe sing their praises a bit if you'd like. And if you want to, send this to a few other people and spread the good vibes 🥰

@thatmexisaurusrex thanks for the ask!

BuckTommy Fan Work Recs

Fic Authors:

(obviously this isn't a comprehensive list, but a collection of fics I've read recently and really enjoyed)

all the vices i can't give up by @starryeyedjanai - this one is so fun and hot, I love sexting/identity porn fics so obviously I clicked right away. I also really enjoy this author's Buck pov; just funny, horny, zero impulse control Evan Buckly and his dick pics against the world.

one way trip to the sun by @newtkelly - this fic felt like a special treat crafted specifically for me. Zombies are my all time favourite movie monster and I'm a big George Romero junkie so finding a bucktommy/dawn of the dead mashup was like striking gold. I also just really loved this version of Tommy and also the narrative structure of the fic. Some really cool stuff done here.

You’ve Got Me Up in a Frenzy by @emphasisonthehomo - Trans!Tommy. Trans!Tommy with bottom surgery, how I love you so. This is so sweet and hot and nuanced and also fun. 10/10.

bright as the morning, soft as the rain. series by @milominderbindered - these were some of the first buck/tommy fics I read and I really loved this version of an alternate first meeting. Buck and Tommy's dynamic here is so cute and fun and flirty, I enjoyed reading Buck's slower realization here that, yes, this man in flirting with him, and oh boy is he into it. Also, there's just something about this version of tommy that really gets me, it's like I can see through the screen how much of an absolute catch he is.

1-800-DAYBREAK by @epiphainie - (ngl I love all your fics) but this one especially. I just really enjoyed seeing a younger Tommy and Buck here where their dynamic is flipped--Tommy being the one unsure of himself and Buck reassuring him that what he wants is okay-- it was also very hot and sweet. I'm a big sucker for phone sex operator fics, so this just reeled me right in instantly.

Goon by @alchemistc - I did not foresee my venture outside of hrpf to end up with me reading hrpf... This has everything I love about the genre and it's best tropes: hotel escapades, and locker room intimacy, and the hero worship to sexuality realization pipeline (...and Sidney Crosby haunting the narrative). Looking forward to seeing how it ends!

Paint Me in Neon and Make Me Glow by @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels - Fun, sexy, caring, D/s kink-discovery. I love how out of his mind horny Buck is for Tommy in this, and for being watched, and specifically getting watched WITH Tommy. I loved every section of this fic and how the author kept upping the stakes as they built towards the climax (ha) of the fic, which I wont spoil but you should definitely got find out for yourself.

take guesses on exits, one has to be right series by @queermccoy - The trucker!Tommy / lot lizard!Buck AU I didn't know I needed but am now eagerly awaiting the next instalment of. This was surprisingly cute and as well as scorchingly hot.

bottom tommy pleasures series by winterbucky (WinterLadyy) (if anyone knows their tumblr @ i'll tag them) - Just what it says on the tin! Bottom!Tommy I love you 😌

Artists:

@kinardsboy - Their art is always so fun and cute! I love all the buck/tommy memes they make.

@blue-arts-stuff - Their art is both sweet and also manages to hit me in the feels every time.

@lazybakerart - All of their art is beautiful, but I especially love what they've done for the @kinley-cafe!

(And of course Kinley Cafe itself for doing an amazing job spreading positivity and engagement within the fandom.)

Gif Makers/Editors:

@lengthofropes - their gifs are all so gorgeous, I don't understand how they manage half the stuff they do, but I love staring at it an inch away from my face like brightly coloured visual candy.

@sunglassesmish - my Tommy Kinard / LFJ gif dealer and has provided me with enough images of the man to construct a 3D model in my mind to rotate while painting.

@xofemeraldstars - I always look forward to their daily kinley posts! My obsession is being enabled and i'm okay with that.

*squeeeee*

Found some frames at my house for some of the prints I ordered last month on inprnt (they didn’t take long to travel to NZ, I was impressed).

@lazybakerart @gravegroves and Max Silver Hammer.

I also got some little ones by @lazybakerart @aggressiveviking-art and @wrecked-fuse as well as a big 21 x 24 in print by @lazybakerart (sadly, I accidentally cracked the frame before i could put the print in it).

Gonna need some frames for those and the 3 prints I got from @adelacreations last year...

“So what’s the plan?”

Heather’s in the bathroom doing her makeup. Billy’s sitting on the edge of his bed lacing up his boots, trying to ignore the roiling in his stomach that being in Hawkins brings.

“Did you fall and hit your head in the shower? We’re going to the Byers’ for Max’s birthday-”

“That’s not what I’m talking about, idiot.” Heather pokes her head out of the bathroom to glare at him before returning to her eyeliner. “I’m talking about your plan to see Steve.”

Right. That plan. Does Billy even have a plan? Right now it’s more like a vague idea floating around in his head.

“I don’t know… I figured I’d focus on Max first and figure out the rest after.”

“So you’re stalling,” Heather states. Not a question.

“I am not stalling!”

“Okay, well, I don’t know if you know this, but we’re only in town for a few more days, so… tick tock. You better figure out something quick.”
