Someone commented on one of my posts where I shared some Cupid!Buck stuff and it had me picking that up the last couple of days, so here's some of that:

Buck goes for the couch but a gentle hand on his elbow redirects him down the hall and into the bedroom. Eddie passes him some clothes and Buck moves automatically, stripping out of his existing clothes and donning the fresh ones. Then he climbs into bed under the cool sheets, sighing in relief.  The mattress dips as Eddie joins him, an alarm set on his phone before it’s placed down on the nightstand. He curls up on his side across from Buck, their fingers brushing together with how close they are. It’s probably the closest the two have been outside of a call since Eddie walked out of the loft door.  Buck wants to cry about it. Instead, he closes his eyes.  “Talk to me, Buck.” Eddie’s voice could barely be considered a whisper with how quiet it is. “I know something is wrong. You’ve lost your glow.”

Not sure if I do actually head canon a Buck having wings in my Cupid universe, but I do imagine Eddie making Buck put them on at least once to get the full picture of his darling Cupid.

Anyways, enjoy!

Gonna use some sentences that I shared from my make me write (thank you to everyone who sent in emojis — feel free to keep sending in more!) because I'm so excited about getting back into Cupid!Buck and exploring things I've had planned since the beginning.

He thought it was good before. He’d take the lust from his partner and amplify it with his own, feeding from it and into it until they were both lost in the sensation. But Buck is only able to feel his own lust – although with how hard Eddie is in his pants, he has no doubt how turned on his boyfriend is – and it’s better than any time before. “Love the sounds you make.” Eddie mumbles into Buck’s skin, dragging his tongue along  another mark he’s left on Buck’s neck. He rucks the shirt up further until Buck reluctantly has to pull his hands off and away from Eddie so that the shirt can be removed fully and tossed away. Buck’s hands both latch back onto Eddie’s ass right away, capturing Eddie’s mouth with his own, swallowing the kiss as Eddie rolls his hips forward again, seeking the friction he desperately needs and craves. “Can’t wait,” Eddie pants when they break apart, hips rolling and grinding together, Buck’s hands on his hips encouraging him, “to hear how you sound when I fuck you. Or you fuck me. I’m not picky.” And it’s like a bucket of ice water crashes down over Buck. He freezes for two seconds before he’s grabbing Eddie’s rolling hips and stopping them and then shoving his boyfriend away and onto the couch beside him. Not expecting that, Eddie goes easily, falling back onto the couch and staring wildly at Buck. His hair is a mess from Buck’s hands, his lips are swollen and red from where Buck had bitten them. His cheeks are flushed and his eyes are dark. He looks absolutely stunning. “What the fuck?!”

Back with more Cupid!Buck because the words are flowing y'all. Thanks again, Maggie, for being the final push I needed to get back into this. And no, you cannot deny that you played a part in it. Take the damn compliment.

“I still want to talk.” Eddie says after another minute of silence has passed. Buck sucks in a breath and forces himself to twist until he can look at Eddie, “Okay.” That furrow is back between Eddie’s brows, and his eyes are skimming across Buck like he’s looking for something. Maybe he’s taking in the scratches on Buck’s face? They’re healing but still prominent. His leg is aching too even though he and Chris took it easy today. And Buck knows he’s not looking the greatest overall since he hasn’t been able to have a proper shower but Eddie’s seen him look worse. “Are you okay?” Eddie asks, “You’re…” He pauses, lips pursing. “Something is wrong.” “I’m fine,” The words roll off of Buck’s tongue with practiced ease, so he amends his statement quickly. “I mean, as fine as one can be after being caught in a tsunami a couple days ago.” Eddie winces at the bluntness of the words. “Sorry.” “No, it’s…” He takes a breath and releases it slowly. “It’s the truth. It happened.” “Yeah.” “But, Buck…you’re just…you don’t…” Eddie shakes his head, “Nevermind. Can we talk about earlier?”

I also got a reply on a post from @craftgremlin saying they'd love to read more of my Cupid!Buck universe. So...I went and wrote a little bit of the newest part of that to share with all y'all.

I don't know why I'm dragging on writing this so much when I have the ideas and you guys are so into it. I'm sorry I haven't done much with it. I hope to get back into it.

“Hello, Evan.” Buck freezes instantly, staring back at the man who has hurt his family. Who is threatening his family. “Doug.” A cruel smile curves up Doug’s lips, “I think you and I need to have a chat. Don’t you?” “I think you need to leave.” Buck spits back. “Or I’ll call the cops.” “No, you won’t.” Doug steps closer, his voice dropping low, “Not if you want me to leave your sister alone.” “You won’t do that anyways.” “Maybe I will. With a little help from her darling little brother.” Doug’s gaze flashes dangerously. “And his influence.” Buck swallows, “No.” “Change your mind, Evan. Change your mind, and I’ll leave Maddie alone. Change your mind, and I won’t kill the bitch like she deserves. Or her new little toy.” Chimney. So Doug has been watching them. Spying on Maddie. He’s seen how happy Maddie is with Chimney. How happy she is without Doug. And Buck knows that Doug will. He’ll kill Chim. Or Maddie. But if Buck goes along with what he wants…maybe…maybe Buck can be the one to save all of them. “Fine.” He relents. “Let’s go inside and talk.”

and the person they meet right after is the one.

everyone is affected in some way. even hen and chim and bobby although it’s obviously stronger familial love.

and then comes along eddie diaz who’s immune and that’s why buck is angry at first. because eddie doesn’t react the way everyone else does and even brushes buck off.

and then maddie jokes about it being a boy crush which buck rolls his eyes at until she explains to him that being immune to cupid’s power means something.

either their heart can no longer love or something else. i dunno. this all just came to me.

someone spiral with me.

I decided to give y'all another piece of Cupid!Buck - just after Shannon's death. This one is scary to release for reasons I won't dive into on a public space, but this is a step forward for me with this universe. So...here we go:

“I am sorry, Chris.” Buck whispers into the quiet room. “I’m so sorry.” He reaches out into the anguish that surrounds the young boy, tries to claw through it and reach the child-sized heart in the middle. Buck’s stomach rolls with nausea as he fights through it. Tries to find a crack or fissure that’ll allow him through. But he can’t. He’s met with wall after wall, forced back onto his metaphorical knees. Tears slide down his cheeks as he tries a different route. He tries to absorb the pain in Christopher’s heart. It’s riskier and can have a horrible impact on him, but Buck is willing to shoulder it if it means helping one of his Diaz boys. He can feel the weight of the grief, the love Chris held and will always hold for his mother, but it slides off of Buck’s shoulders. It bounces off of his skin. His heart is heavy, but not because of anyone’s anguish except his own. Pulling away, Buck stumbles to his feet and back from the bed, arms wrapping around his middle as he gasps for air. The world spins for one terrifying moment, and he fears that Chris will wake up to find Buck passed out in the middle of his bedroom. He pushed himself too hard. The world settles, and after making sure that Chris is still fast asleep, Buck slips out of the room. A brief check on Eddie confirms he’s out like his son, and then Buck heads for the kitchen. Closing the door behind him offers a little bit of privacy before he digs out his phone with shaking hands. He crosses the room to the backdoor as he dials, resting his head on the cool glass while the call rings in his ear.

I can’t share anything from my secret fic because it’s too revealing right now…so have some of Cupid!Buck instead :)

“I do though. Eddie, I want it all with you.” “But you won’t.” “I can’t.” “Because I’ll leave,” Eddie repeats, laughing bitterly. “Right. Because you’ve lumped me in with everyone else.” “No, I…” Buck groans, covering his face with his hands. “Eddie, I can’t…I just can’t. But this isn’t because of you. None of this is your fault. There’s nothing wrong with you. It’s me.” “I don’t care, Buck. I want you. Broken parts and all.” “I’m sorry.” “So am I.” Eddie says, and then there’s the sound of footsteps receding before the door opens and closes with a click.
