#like. they literally have the kiss that begins their relationship like. RIGHT after Eddie gets shot. it's like 3 scenes later or sth

[harrowharkwife]

you ever remember that buck, fresh off the brand new trauma of watching eddie get shot right in front of him and clearly feeling some type of way about it, essentially decided to... date Taylor Kelly about it?

More of my diabetic Steve verse!

Steve, who doesn’t realize that Eddie is super famous and robin who could literally not care any less.

Steve and Eddie exchange numbers and text all of the time. It takes a week for Eddie to crack and send this message:

Eddie: Please for the love of god let me take you on a date I need to wine and dine you so hard I think I might pass out

Steve obviously says yes.

Eddie takes them to a small diner because he doesn’t want to risk being seen by crazy fans who somehow always find out where he is. If Eddie is being honest, he blames twitter.

Eddie gets there to find Steve already sitting at a booth, fiddling with something on his phone. His glasses are sliding down his nose again and he is wearing a Wham! graphic t-shirt and light wash jeans. He stands up once he notices Eddie and flashes a huge grin, which causes Eddie to also smile.

They both sit down on their respective sides of the table and get comfortable, making small talk. It takes a bit, but Eddie notices that Steve has the menu pulled up on his phone and laughs.

“Doing some homework?”

Steve looks confused for a second before glancing down.

“Oh yeah! I always make sure to look at it beforehand whenever I go out to make sure that I have options depending on my blood sugar level.”

“What’s your… number, is that the correct term, now?”

Steve nods enthusiastically. “Yes! And let me check.” Steve pulls out a cute green pouch and takes out a bunch of supplies. “I just changed my CGM—“ At Eddie’s confused look, he says, “My glucose monitor. It’s not completely synced yet so I can’t rely on my pod to tell me what level I’m actually at.”

After he says that, Steve cleans his finger with an alcohol wipe, lets it dry, and then pricks his finger. He squeezes the pad of his ring finger and blood pools to the surface.

“Yikes. I’m gonna have to give myself a correction or two.”

Steve cleans up the space but leaves his pouch out, and then wraps a sparkly bandaid on his finger.

“What’s a correction?”

Eddie feels dumb. He wishes he knew more about diabetes and actually researched it before showing up to the diner with no prior knowledge.

“I just give myself a little extra insulin to make my blood sugar go down. I’m flirting with 250 right now and I really want a burger.”

—

The date passes swimmingly and the two men find themselves sitting in the same booth at the same diner, but on the same side. Their hands are intertwined and Steve wrapped up half of his meal to take home.

“I made this for you!” Steve says suddenly. He grabs a stack of stapled papers and hands them to Eddie. “I made you a ‘diabetes guide!’ Since I plan on our relationship being permanent, it would give me peace of mind if you knew what to do in case of an emergency.”

Steve begins thumbing through the packet and explaining everything, but Eddie can hardly focus.

Not with Steve clutching his hand or with him wanting their relationship to become “permanent.”

“Hey, are you okay?” Steve waves his hand in front of Eddie’s face. “I understand if this is a dealbreaker or whatever, but I just like you so much and I want to be your boyfriend as of two weeks ago.”

Eddie just blinks. Then he smiles. “We only met a week ago, Stevie.”

Steve blushes, tucks some hair behind his ear. “I know that. I just had a feeling that I would meet the one.”

“Yeah?” A pause. “Can I kiss you?”

Steve releases a breath. Puts his hand on Eddie’s cheek.

“I thought you’d never ask. I hope you don’t mind the taste of hamburger.”

Eddie laughs before lunging forward.

—

As they head back to Steve’s apartment hand in hand, Eddie tells him about his more than ordinary job. Explains what might happen when people see them together.

Steve just laughs and says, “I’ve fought literal monsters from hell, I can handle anything.”

Eddie falls more in love than he knew possible.

Can’t go home alone

steddie, aob, hurt/comfort, established secret relationship

I just can’t leave this concept alone 🥰

Pain pulses over and behind and around Steve’s eye along with the beat of his heart. It isn’t as bad as it was even an hour ago, and definitely not as bad as when he and Robin puked their guts out in the movie theater restroom.

But his head hurts. His chest hurts. And he just wants to curl up in his nest and hope his parents don’t come home in time to see him like this. 

But the paramedic checking him says he’s definitely got a concussion. “Have you got someone who can keep an eye on you for the next 48 hours?”

“I… Yeah, I do.” Steve leans his head on Robin’s shoulder, needing the support as he’s hit with a sudden dizzy spell. He really doesn’t want to hurl again.

“Steve,” Robin whispers, “There’s no way my mom is letting me stay at your house for two days. Or letting you stay at mine. She would freak if I had an omega in my room.”

“I know,” Steve mumbles back. “‘Preciate the offer, Robbie, but I’ve got someone.”

“Steve. You can’t just shrug this off!”

“I’m not! I do have someone.” He pouts, breathes deep, her scent sour still from the truth serum leaving her system. His face is hidden in her short hair as he mumbles, “I’ll stay with Eddie.” Steve’s so tired. 

He just wants to rest his eyes a minute, but Robin shakes his shoulder.

“Eddie? Steve what are you talking about?”

“I’ll stay at Eddie’s. He’ll take care of me.”

Robin is struggling to focus, her brain not as scrambled as Steve’s, but after a day and a half without enough to eat or drink coupled with everything else, she’s just as tired and confused. “Eddie who?”

Tires screech to a stop at the edge of the Starcourt parking lot, the closest cars can come now with the barriers up. Steve whips his head around to look towards the noise and his head spins. But then he sees a familiar, shitty van, the driver’s door opening and closing loud enough for Steve to hear the slam over the surrounding hubbub.

Pushing himself to his feet, Steve starts walking towards the streak of denim and dark curls racing towards him. He’s grinning like an idiot as Eddie stops just short of barreling into him, the rangy alpha delicately cupping his face. “Steve, baby, what the hell happened?” His fingers brush gently along Steve’s brow, over the cut on his lower lip. “I saw on the news—about the fire—called your place a dozen times and no one picked up. Been half-crazy worrin’ over you, and it looks like I was right to.”

“M’sorry,” Steve mumbles, pressing his cheek into Eddie’s touch.

“No, baby, not your fault. I’m just glad it isn’t worse.” He pulls Steve close, guides his face to the scent gland at his neck, and kisses his hair. “I’ve got you.”

Steve begins to purr, feeling safe for the first time in two days. “Can we go home?”

“Yeah, let’s get the hell out of here.”

“Wait! I gotta tell Robin!”

“What? Is Buckley here, too?”

Steve doesn’t answer, just pulls out of Eddie’s grip and stumbles back to the ambulance where Robin is still waiting, wrapped in an emergency blanket, her blue eyes glued to him as he approaches. “You’re dating Eddie Munson?” The, ‘and you didn’t say anything about that when we were spilling our guts literally and metaphorically on the bathroom floor’ is implied.

“Yeah. Eddie’s the best. He’s really sweet and he’s got a big—”

“Please don’t make me barf on you by finishing that sentence. I do not need to know what you and your alpha get up to behind closed doors.” Robin reaches for his hand. “Just… Call me in the morning, okay?”

“Okay.” Steve squeezes her fingers before loping back to Eddie and snuggling into his boyfriend’s chest.

Eddie rubs at Steve’s back. “Ready to go?”

“Yeah. I’m hungry.”

“Want me to make you a grilled cheese when we get back to my place?”

“Uh-huh.” Steve nods enthusiastically, only to bring on a wave of nausea, forcing him to shut his eyes and put all his weight on Eddie.

“Maybe I should just get you into bed.”

Steve moans wordlessly, lets himself be manhandled into the van, barely noticing anything beyond the bumps in the road that make his head ache more.

Once they reach Forest Hills, Eddie plops Steve on the couch, brings him water and a bag of frozen peas for his eye, and turns his attention to frying two sandwiches.

After Steve is fed, Eddie helps him into the shower, washing his hair in the tiny bathroom, and getting rid of the dried blood and days’ worth of sweat. 

They dry off together, and Eddie bundles Steve into his bed, their naked bodies pressed close beneath the covers. “I’ve got you, baby,” Eddie whispers, dropping a kiss to Steve’s unbruised temple. “You rest. And if you need anything, let me know, I’ll get it for you.”

“I know,” Steve hums, snuggling impossibly closer. “Love you.”

“Love you too, baby. Now sleep.”

always you

wanted to wish @rozzieroos a very happy birthday! you've been so supportive of me since the beginning and it makes a world of difference to someone who is always just a bit nervous to share the things they write. i am unfortunately not a very crafty bitch, so i can't return the friendship bracelet favor right now, but i hope this is a nice little sappy gift for ya! sending you big hugs and all my love 💕 - mickala

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Steve always had an adrenaline crash after a visit from Robin. The first time it happened, Eddie was convinced they would have to move to Boston just so Steve could get out of the funk. Luckily, they figured out what to do after a couple of days.

And every time it's happened since, they manage to get him out of it pretty quickly.

But this time seemed worse, and Eddie wasn't sure why.

As far as he could tell, everything about the visit was normal. Robin came for a long weekend, they all went to dinner together the first night, Eddie had to work on Saturday so Steve and Robin had their fun together. Sunday, they all went to brunch together before dropping her off at the airport.

And Steve was fine! That evening he was cooking dinner and dancing to music while Eddie wrote some notes for a campaign he was running with work buddies. They ate together and Eddie did the dishes while Steve went through his nightly routine of locking up.

They even gave each other blowjobs in the shower.

But this morning, as soon as Eddie opened his eyes and smelled the bleach, he knew it was bad.

He sat up and looked out the open bedroom door.

"Fuck."

He got up quickly, throwing on the closest pair of pants he could find, probably Steve's since they felt baggier than his own, and made his way down the hall to the bathroom.

Steve was on his knees, scrubbing the shower like it personally offended him.

"Hey sweetheart, everything okay?" He asked hesitantly.

"Fine," Steve answered, clearly very far from fine.

Eddie sighed and sat on the closed toilet lid. "Stevie, it's okay if you wanna have a sad day. I know it's hard when Robin goes back home. I'm off today so we can just relax in bed if you want."

Eddie would never tell Steve that the reason he was off was because as soon as he knew when Robin was going back home, he'd requested the day off to be here for Steve.

"I don't need a sad day. I'm fine."

"Yeah, that's why you've scrubbed the shower until it's literally sparkling at way too early in the morning," Eddie reached out and covered his shoulder. "It's okay to miss her. I know it's hard."

Steve stopped scrubbing.

Eddie prepared for what was likely to be a very ugly and loud sob.

Steve turned to him with his lips quivering and eyes watery.

"Oh, sweetheart," Eddie said as he got on the floor with Steve and pulled him into his lap. "It's gonna be alright. We're gonna visit her next month, remember?"

"I know," Steve said against his shoulder, voice wobbling like he was still holding back tears. "I just don't wanna keep doing this."

"What?"

"I hate being so far from her. We were supposed to live close enough to see each other every weekend and have sleepovers and now she's in Boston with her girlfriend who is amazing, and I'm here with you and you're amazing, but I miss her. And I know she misses me." Eddie could feel tears soaking his shirt. "And it's stupid that we're so codependent still, and I feel bad that you probably feel like you're not enough."

"Sweetheart, I don't ever feel that way. I've never felt that way. Have I made you feel like I feel that way?" Eddie tightened his grip around Steve.

"No, not really," Steve shrugged. "It's just I know we're a lot. And I know it sometimes probably seems like I need her more than I need you, but I don't."

"Sweetheart, I know that." Eddie kissed the top of his head and smiled. "You're a package deal. I knew that the moment you kissed me in the hospital room. I was getting Steve and his platonic soulmate Robin, or I wasn't getting Steve at all. I know how important she is to you. Don't you think she's important to me too?"

"I guess," Steve shrugged again, sniffling against Eddie's shirt.

"Well, how could she not be? She helped make sure you stayed safe before I was there to protect you. She knows exactly what to do when you have nightmares, taught me everything she could so I could be there for you. She sends me tapes she thinks I'll like when she sends you care packages. She was the second person I ever came out to! "

"Wait, I thought I was the second person you came out to."

"You were the third. She was a practice run when I saw her staring at the young nurse who checked my vitals the day I woke up. She's the one who told me I should tell you," Eddie nudged him away for a moment so he could look down at him. "I wouldn't be on this floor with you five years later if not for her. She's kinda important to me."

"I just hate that I get like this!" Steve finally said. "I hate that this happens every time. It's not fair to you."

"Love, it's okay. I know how to help." Eddie kissed his forehead. "Go ahead and wash your hands and go get back in bed. I'm gonna grab a book and we're gonna cuddle for a bit."

"But-"

"And then!" Eddie continued, louder. "We'll get pizza delivered for lunch even though we shouldn't. We'll call Robin. We'll take a bath. I'll wash your hair. I'll make us that roasted chicken stuff you like for dinner. It'll be perfect."

"Okay."

"And then-"

"There's more?" Eddie could hear the smirk in Steve's voice even though he'd buried his face against his neck again.

"Of course there's more." Eddie poked his side. "And then we're gonna start talking about moving closer to Boston so we can visit her more than three times a year."

"Eds, we can't afford Boston."

"I know. But we can afford New England if we find the right spots. We'll have her send us some ads for places for rent. I can transfer within the company. You're a teacher, you can work anywhere."

"You make it sound so easy."

"It is so easy. Making you happy is the easiest thing I'll ever do."

"But you have to be happy too."

"I will be. You wanna know why?"

"Why?"

"Because I'll still have you. And let's be honest, it's way more likely that one of the New England states is gonna let us get married before fucking Illinois."

Steve chuckled. "Married? Who said anything about getting married?"

"Oh, did I forget to mention? I planned on spending the rest of my life with you."

"I know that, goofball." Steve let out another genuine laugh. "I just didn't think you'd ever wanna actually get the law involved if they ever let us."

"Steven, I don't involve the law, the law involves me."

"I don't think that's how it works, babe," Steve kissed his neck before pulling away. "I think all that sounds nice though."

"Then hop to it, Harrington! We've got a bed to get back into."

Once they settled in their bed, Steve curled into Eddie's side while he opened the book they'd been reading for a week now, he looked up at Eddie with a soft smile.

"I love you a lot, you know?"

"I know, angel. I love you a lot more," Eddie replied, leaning down to kiss his lips softly.

They'd spend the day exactly as Eddie said they would.

They'd find a place only two hours from Robin and move less than a month later.

They'd get married as soon as it was legal for them to do it.

They rescued a dog.

They even adopted twins.

And every single time Steve wanted to see Robin, they packed up the car and went to visit her.

Because Steve had Eddie, and Eddie had Steve, but they both had Robin.

ok need to talk about doomed bucktommy from 7x05 to 8x06 now. up top this is NOT a BT positive post and i dont want to hear any arguing rn so just scroll on by #peaceandlove

i said it in this post too but the theme of buck and tommy's relationship is "you don't know me". their relationship began in that episode and that's been the throughline the entire time. i'm gonna try to take the buddie hat off here and just talk about buck but you know its probably gonna creep in anyway

buck is a huge flirt, but he's passive in his romantic pursuits because he has abandonment issues. so he'll flirt until the other person makes a definitive move like asking him out or kissing him. once they do, he clings and overcompensates because he's deeply insecure. they deviated from this pattern with natalia but i consider that to be special circumstances bc logistics behind the scenes got in the way. and buck did break up with taylor but he clinged to her first with asking her to move in after he kissed lucy.

so we have tommy, who is NOT different at all! buck likes tommy because he's cool and confident. buck acts out and is possessive over eddie, who buck also clashed with because he was cool and confident and acted out toward because he was possessive over the 118. buck flirts with him (albeit unconsciously), and tommy kisses him. buck feels chosen, he clings. tommy is interested. tommy abandons buck when he realizes he "doesn't know him" after buck lies to eddie in front of him about their date. (EVEN THOUGH HE JUST TOLD HIM HE'S NEVER BEEN ON A DATE WITH A GUY BEFORE AND ISN'T OUT. OKAY fine) buck can't stop thinking about tommy because, again, he subconsciously thinks that being with him will allow him to absorb his "confidence." when they go for coffee, tommy points out that the two of them don't know anything about each other. they agree to start their relationship and do it "right."

they continue to misunderstand each other through the entirety of their relationship. tommy can't wrap his head around why buck wants him to dress up for the bachelor party. tommy points out buck's father is alive when he opens up about bobby. the two fundamentally dont get each other. but buck doesn't let tommy in either! he lets him call him evan (false intimacy), likely because he's too insecure to stand up for himself. until masks, when buck begins to push back.

buck brings tommy to family events, but he doesn't actually include him. tommy is quite literally not in the group chat. masks was SUCH an interesting episode about their dynamic through the billy boils story and maybe i'll make a post on it sometime but whew...

moving onto confessions...

this part has been pointed out tons but i feel the need to cover the whole ep so right up top in the episode we have buck, known gift giver in all of his relationships (freaked about getting taylor a sweater for xmas in s5, got kameron and connor a onesie for donorbaby, once bought eddie a $500 coffee maker as a "PRANK") does not get tommy a gift for their 6 month even though he's the one who brings up that it is the date. fascinating stuff there. of course then we have a callback to the basketball game when tommy gets him tickets.

like okay sure! maybe tommy just wanted to connect with him over something he's more interested in, it's a weird move to get your partner what is essentially a gift for yourself for your six month but it's not unheard of.

then the woman comes over and asks buck to take the photo, saying they're celebrating a divorce. buck does kinda check the lady out. i've said this before, but buck is usually pretty oblivious to flirting until someone crosses the line of physical contact. it happened with tommy, and it happened with the lady. once he realizes, he just becomes really uncomfortable and awkward. on a personal note i'm kinda mad that they cut tommy checking out hot waiter/making a comment about it but Whatever.

again, you dont know me: being 6 months in without having the exes talk is bonkers. they told us it was excusable on tommy's part bc of the heterosexuality performance of it all (still not a good omen for intimacy in that relationship). but buck??? that was his first real relationship, his "most transformative". it was obviously a fun coincidence that the writers realized they'd set up but if you look in universe it's crazy that they were together that long without buck bringing it up. so in the end their lack of communication is what kills them!

buck is correct about tommy being cruel/dishonest bc it turns out tommy knew for six months that their relationship wouldn't work and stayed anyway. josh misunderstood the convo and made it about performing heterosexuality. Hopefully this was just a segue-way to tip off audience to gay eddie struggle. god knows buck will not remember pre glee post glee but he will remember tommy's "i can't be your last because i'm your first".

so we cemented tommy kinda as buck's male "teacher" relationship. "i'm so comfortable with you because you're comfortable with you" buck thinks his bisexuality is wrapped up in tommy's approval of him. and the crazy thing is tommy is not comfortable with himself. but neither him nor buck ever opened up to each other enough to explore that!

Buck is gonna grieve hard because he's the Clinger but also because being with tommy made him feel confident. but not because tommy uplifted him, because he perceived tommy as confident, and that made buck feel closer to fully realizing and understanding himself. this is why coming back from s7 buck got a full gorgeous girl makeover and was totally on his game in those first few eps despite gerrard-- he felt confident. what buck needs to realize post breakup is that he can be all of that without tommy!!!

putting my buddie hat back on for a second there's a meta here about the parking spot line. it could be callback to basketball game bc after eddie's injury there was discussion of tommy's "i drove eddie and i parked close" versus buck "ill bring my car up to the court". or the parking spot out front is the easy close serendipitous option (as in tommy presenting himself as a surprise relationship for buck by kissing him) but either way tommy was the easy choice. eddie is not. but buck was willing to pull his car up to the court for eddie. buck was willing to be AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THAT RELATIONSHIP. that's a break from his pattern. crazier too when you think about how buck attached himself to eddie because he seemed cool and confident but committed harder once he actually got to know eddie and his flaws. just sayingggg..

either way i want buck to explore his sexuality by himself for a little bit because i think that's what he needs as a character in order to actually get an understanding of who he is and what he wants. and also selfishly because i want a buck speed dating montage set to girls & boys by blur.

[lover-of-mine]

I so agree with everything you said. The difference of reactions when you didn't ship their previous relationship vs when you don't ship B/T is very telling (same with the fact that when some people talked about a cheating storyline, the reactions were always "it would be bad for Buck to do this to Tommy" but apparently it would have been okay if Eddie did this to a woman?? okay lmao)

What I don't understand is how people say that it's Buck's most developed LI/relationship. Like? We don't know that much about him. People have created (themselves and via the actor's cameos) lots of headcanons but that doesn't mean that they are canon.

To me, he really still feels like a love interest device for now. Like with the scene of the kiss in the last episode, they could have include some mentions of another date, whether past or a future one, but they didn't. The kiss was just there to be able to have Buck come out to the rest of the family, but it didn't bring anything more about B/T (we don't know if they saw each other since the coffee date/if it was their second kiss or if there was already more).

Literally. Like, look, I will say one thing, if buddie had hooked up at that bachelor party only one person would be cheating and that's Eddie. Buck and Tommy did not have a we're exclusive talk. They actually had a we can figure things out as we go talk. Personally, I don't think that counts as an we are together conversation, but that's my opinion. But either way no one seemed to care about the Eddie side of it. Eddie who is literally in a relationship serious enough he asked her to move in with him the episode before. But sure, that doesn't count because they hate Edy and forget Marisol exists (I do too, but I spent the whole time saying we shouldn't make the bisexual dude help his best friend cheat because I did not forget Eddie would be cheating and that would be bad no matter what). And to say T is the most developed love interest is a straight up lie. Taylor had a whole season as Buck's friend before they got together. She had a personality, flaws, qualities, she even got her very own tragic background episode. Say what you want about anything, and yes they sucked as a couple, but bucktaylor was developed. On screen. To a point where if the show actually wanted to, which they clearly didn't because they used the s4 Taylor development to stir her away from Buck instead of closer, they could've made bucktaylor work, they just had to make her as intense about Buck as she is with the job, and they could've been a very interesting golden retriever boyfriend/black cat girlfriend dynamic (good god I can't believe this fandom is making me defend fucking bucktaylor). Buck and T had one scene alone before they were kissing. Tommy has no established personality. Pretty much everything about him besides the begins episodes part of him (that dont paint him in the best light) we learned second hand. Through interviews. It's not even things that are being said to the audience in the show. I'm pretty sure the only things we learned from the show are the way he's a pilot, he was in the army, he likes wrestling, cars, and basketball. I could be wrong, fandom annoyed me so much I blackout every time I see him at this point. But he's not developed? He's just a guy? Don't get me wrong, he could be developed. There is space for it. But right now, he is there to serve as a device for Buck to find his bisexuality and that's it. They kissed twice. They went on half a date T left in the middle of. They went out for coffee and decided to figure things out as they went. He was at the hospital after the wedding to work as a way for Buck to come out without making him go around telling everyone. He exists around Buck. And that's it. Personally I don't see the endgame material people keep seeing. I don't see the development either. And anyone can headcanon anything, really go off, have fun with your ship, but people seriously need to stop acting like what Lou is saying in cameos counts as canon. Being in the fandom right now is exhausting because people just decided things about T and BT that are not backed by canon and they get real aggressive if you don't agree. I seriously am dying to see what's gonna happen if canon goes against the idealized version of him fanon created. I don't know if it's gonna happen but by god will I be entertained by it if it does.

These people will never experience the pain hearing from the causal viewers and THE SR that we who view those characters as queer, are delusional. We were told, it’s in “our heads” and what you see “is your interpretation” NOT what’s on the script. OH CANT FORGET MY FAVORITE, “go write your own SHOW”. Imagine for 6 years viewing buck as queer coded and told you were dumb and “it’s never gonna happen”. For 6 YEARS!!!! It literally took them ONE EPISODE AND MOVING TO A NEW NETWORK for bibuck to happen. And these people think this couple who ONLY HAD 3 dates (1 of them a failed one), and 2 kisses is endgame? 💀💀💀imagine your ship not having any depth to where they stopped caring about them after making buck bi💀💀💀. Where are their scenes? Oh it’s “enjoy it while it lasts”. It’s them having barely 20 minutes of screen while the “non ship” has x2 has much in 10 episodes. Did they forget their fav said this💀💀💀💀

💯no notes agree with everything you said 👏👏👏

and also even that lfj quote pissed me off when it came out bc i was like “how are you gonna stand here and tell me to be grateful for a relationship that came out of left field with no chemistry?” like even if it does lead to buddie i will still hate that whole arc because it could have been handled SO much better and without bringing back a racist character, played by a problematic person, ON TOP of causing the biggest shipping controversy to ever hit this fandom… that man has given me the ick since day one of s7 and when the cameos started and he started encouraging his fans and egging on the bullshit i was done w him.

it pisses me off bc they act like buck has to go through some sort of “queer bootcamp” before he can date eddie and im like…. no he doesn’t?? he doesn’t need some sort of “gay yoda” or whatever they called t-rex in the beginning bc there is no rulebook to being queer… so the whole notion of “working out the kinks” (which is an extra level of icky coming from someone like lfj, and looking back after the daddy joke in 7x10) never sat right with me… and the whole “what if buck got with eddie and didn’t like it?” if he meant that literally as “what if buck didn’t like it” my brother in christ theses are fictional characters, they’re not sims, the writers have full control over literally everything that happens… why would they write them if buck “wasn’t gonna like it” (which is bullshit bc we all know he 1000% fold immediately if eddie kissed him)… if he meant “what if the fandom didn’t like it” (which is an odd way to word that question if this is what he meant) WDYM IF THE FANDOM DOESNT LIKE IT EVEN HALF THE BT SHIPPERS HAVE BEEN SHIPPING BUDDIE FOR ALMOST SIX YEARS????

the whole situation drives me up s wall bc not only have we simultaneously gotten so close yet so far to getting buddie, we also now have to deal with these wack-ass fans policing people, calling queer people homophobic, sending death threats and violent hate speech to people who don’t like their ship, actively talking bad about oliver bc he clearly isn’t a fan of lfj or the way this storyline was handled, on top of having to deal with the show’s retconning of typhoid’s character and trying to brush his shit under a rug using queerness as an “excuse” and thus enabling these people to use the “homophobia” rhetoric when someone doesn’t want a boring ass rewash basic ship.

thinking about the thing i saw today that said lfj said in an interview that originally tommy was supposed to be into eddie and now im thinking okay but what if that's TRUE what if tommy and eddie started hanging out and tommy WAS into eddie and he tried to kiss him, he DID kiss him, and eddie is like woah woah, im not. um. im not gay. and tommy is like oh, sorry, it's just. i was, well, i was getting vibes, but clearly i was wrong so sorry. and eddies like uhhh vibes what. and tommy makes some comment that's roughly along the lines of like just, are you sure? and eddies like uhh yes?? pretty sure??? and tommys like okay okay, forget i said anything. friends? and eddies like friends. and so they're fine, and tommys fine and eddies fine, except — except eddies not fine because he can't stop thinking about what tommy said. and it like keeps him up at night, like he's trying to think back to what he did or said around tommy that could've made him think that eddie was gay. and maybe he's sitting with hen and chim one day after that (buck is sleeping or not on shift today or just doing something else so it's just the three of them) and eddie just blurts out do i ever, like, act gay? like, have i ever done anything that has made you think that i like men. and hen and chim share a Look (because HELLO YES EVERY DAY DJSKS) but they find ways to give eddie like. nonanswers, because they don't want to tell him yes and send him on a spiral. but also he's already spiraling so like it doesn't matter lol. but yeah tommys comment and the chat with hen and chim are... Enlightening in ways and eddie ends up doing A Lot of Thinking and Reevaluating and Soul Searching. and he maybe finally comes to the Realization that oh. he might maybe like men. that might be. A Thing. tommy might have been right. and it is while all of this is happening that tommy starts hanging out with buck more and then buck has HIS Realization and suddenly buck and tommy are together and eddie's got this very weird feeling in his gut about it and he knows it's not because he has a problem with them being into men. and he knows it's not because he dislikes either of them, they're both his friends! and then maybe one day at work they're all just talking and someone's telling a story and describing the way someone was acting in a situation, and eddies listening to it like that sounds... that sounds like how im feeling. and then he realizes that, oh. it's jealousy. he's jealous. that's what that ugly feeling is. only... he KNOWS he's not jealous of tommy because he didn't feel anything when tommy kissed him. so that means.... that means it must be — buck. and it hits him then. he's in love with buck.

and it's like. the WORST time for that realization to happen, because buck seems so happy right now, more comfortable in his skin than ever and he's got a boyfriend and they're doing GOOD — at least eddie thinks they are anyway. so he just. keeps it to himself. doesn't want to upstage buck, doesn't want to do anything to compromise his happiness either. so he sits with his realization and he lowkey suffers in silence.

until one day buck just casually drops that he and tommy broke up. no hard feelings or anything, they just weren't feeling the spark that had been there at the beginning anymore, so they parted as friends. and eddie is like. bluescreening a little on the inside bc he's secretly THRILLED, but also he does not want to just. throw himself at buck, he literally just got out of a relationship! so he fully intends to just. keep sitting on his feelings. he's held out this long, what's a little longer right?

but then buck ends up beating him to the punch with a confession of his own, because turns out eddie kind of was part of the reason he and tommy broke up — because tommy helped him realize that he was bi, but he also helped him realize that he's been in love with eddie this whole time. and of course eddie confesses right back, and they are both OVER THE MOON and they kiss about it and they're finally FINALLY together <3

but yes, that is how eddie diaz realizes that he likes Men, but specifically evan buckley <3

Past is Prologue - Buck and his partners

"Why does this keep happening to you?...No, I'm gonna tell you why. Because you don't talk to the women you're dating. You just go with the flow and find yourself in a relationship with no idea what to do when things go wrong."

Bobby says this to Buck in S5E9, Past is Prologue. This is the hamster wheel Buck can't get off - hell, it's right there in the title of the episode. The episode ends with the love confession from Taylor, which was awkwardly returned by Buck with one of his patented deer-in-headlights expressions. One episode later, they both are begging for help selecting Christmas gifts for each other. Two episodes later, he kisses Lucy, panic-invites Taylor to move in with him, and everything goes downhill from there.

The thing with Buck is, even as he grows up, even as he gets more confident professionally, even as he establishes himself as a fixture in the lives of the 118 - knows he's loved by them - he still does not believe that someone can really know him and be in love with him.

When he was with Abby, he didn't really know himself. That's part of why that relationship - that love he had for her - was so transformative. He had no idea he was capable of loving like that, of stepping inside with someone, of standing up and being strong, and he liked that version of himself. He saw that version of himself as someone he could respect, someone maybe worthy of being loved back. Then he became terrified of letting go, of sliding back into Buck 1.0. So he held on, for months after she told him to move on, as the calls became less and less frequent, as his sister and his friends all told him she was gone.

(But he didn't relapse. Sure, he slept around a little bit, but while he did so he was stepping inside with someone else, standing up and being strong beside someone else who needed him - Eddie (and Chris). He provided the foundation for Eddie and Chris to be able to stay in LA, by introducing him to Carla and being there week in and week out for the two of them. Still, 6 years later.)

Ali was little more than a fling, same with Natalia, but Taylor - Taylor is, ultimately, the relationship that most closely parallels Tommy. With both of them, you have an awkward dinner that ends with Buck being left behind after behaving badly in front of his friends (Taylor with Albert and Veronica, Tommy at Miceli's the first time). You have a kiss Buck wasn't expecting, followed by the other leaving the loft immediately. And you have a rushed invitation to move in, in which Buck acts very distinctly like there's something wrong and in which each time his partner was surprised. In both cases, the ask to move in was the beginning of the end, though with Taylor it was obviously a much slower demise.

The primary issue with both relationships continues to be the lack of communication, on both sides, not just Buck. Taylor doesn't tell Buck about her father or family, and Buck just - doesn't ask. They were together like 6 months before he finally said they needed to have the conversation, after Bobby's prompting, and she admitted to her family tragedy. That's a significant period of time to not learn literally anything about a partner's family.

Buck and Tommy are on their 6 month anniversary date before he finds out that Tommy is gay, not bi, and that he was previously engaged to a woman (and that that woman was Abby). All stuff that, in a serious relationship, would generally come up fairly early on if the communication is at all there.

Then you have each partner not respecting Buck's boundaries. Taylor moving in and making Buck get rid of his couch to keep hers. Taylor saying that the Jonah stuff will be off the record, then betraying that promise. Tommy calling Buck Evan without us ever seeing a, "hey, you can call me Evan," line from Buck, even though in season 4 he tells his parents that people who know him call him Buck. Tommy not knowing that Buck hates basketball and gifting him tickets, because Buck never said, "by the way, I think basketball sucks and that's why I only showed up that one time," and Tommy never bothered to learn what Buck's actual interests are.

Because Bobby is right. Buck doesn't talk to the people he dates, not seriously or honestly. Buck makes himself small in his relationships. He's so afraid of being left behind that he becomes translucent. He's honest and serious and real with Maddie. He's honest and serious and real with Eddie (hence why he was so distressed about lying to Eddie about Tommy), and with the 118. But with Taylor, the honest and serious bits were later in the relationship, after prodding from outside sources, and with Tommy they never happened at all.

Compare this to other relationships on the show. We know that Hen told Karen about Eva on the third date. We know that Athena knew about Bobby's previous family and losses before they ever got together, and that they shared faith. We know that Maddie and Chimney became close friends first, having their buffridays and finishing each other's sentences, with Chim knowing about Doug and all that first. The early-established depth is there in all the other relationships on the show, but it's not there for Buck or for Eddie..

The thing is, I'm not a Tommy hater, and I'm not a Taylor hater. They both were good examples of superficial romantic relationships, that contrast sharply with all the rest of Buck's relationships, and the other romances on the show. It was Taylor who said that Buck's life was full of meaningful relationships, and she was absolutely right. But in order for Buck to get off this hamster wheel - in order for past to stop being prologue - he needs develop depth of relationship first. He needs to be solid, and trust that he's not going to be left behind. And frankly, he's not ready to do that yet, though I hope that this breakup may be some impetus for him to look into that more deeply.

I hope the show has the grace to get him there. I think it will.

Steve’s Broken Libido

Pairing: Poly!Steddie x Reader

Plot :You and Eddie are hot as hell and Steve is suffering the consequences

Sounds a lot more suggestive that it actually is.Lots of sex talk,but no actual smut.Took me forever to finish this because I’m a master procrastinator, but I hope you enjoy! xx

︶꒷꒦︶ ꒦꒷꒷꒦ ︶꒷꒦꒷︶

Steve Harrington isn’t necessarily a horny guy.Sure he used to sleep around a lot in high school,but he’s calmed down tremendously since then.Around you and the dnd playing metalhead,though?Completely different story.

You and Eddie have been going steady for a little over a year now and Steve has recently joined your relationship.Steve truly couldn’t be happier about it even if he tried.He’s be pining after you since his sophomore year (your freshman year) and his feelings for Eddie are a newer edition but just as strong.Surprised couldn’t even begin to truly express how he felt when the two of you told him that you guys felt the same way.He literally stood there mouth agape,unconsciously holding his breath,blinking like an idiot.This made you and Eddie an anxious mixture of confused and worried.Eddie cautiously put a hand out to Steve,placing it on his bicep and squeezing lightly.

“Steve?You alright-“ Without warning,he launched himself at the two of you in a bone crushing hug.It knocked the wind out of you but it made you smile so big your cheeks hurt nonetheless.That was around two months ago and everything has been going pretty smoothly.Except for the fact that everything about you two makes Steve’s pants a little too tight in the front.

It doesn’t take much at all.A little moan slips through your lips when you stretch after hunching over your desk full of homework all night.Eddie manspreads on the couch,trying to get comfortable after a long day of work.Not to mention the two of you are also constantly touching him,kissing him,and wanting his attention.It drives him insane and every touch from you two lights his skin on fire.

It could be blamed on the fact that he hasn’t sleep with literally anyone since being with Nancy.He’s tried a few times with different people since then,but it never really felt right to go past making out.He’s resulted to handling his problem by himself,but it’s hardly satisfying when the two of you are right there.

The whole situation makes Steve feel kinda sleezy.Yes,it’s completely normal to be sexually attracted to your significant other(s).That being said,your relationship is still so new.The two of you told him you loved him for the first time just a week ago!

Steve’s decided that the solution to this problem is to avoid prolonged physical contact with the both of you.Quick hugs and kisses were fine but cuddling and/or making out?Absolutely off limits.He knew this wasn’t the best way to go about things,but it was the only thing he could think of to do.

The plan was put into action the morning after he thought of it.This was immediately made more difficult by the fact that you and Eddie slept over last night and were now cuddled up nice and snug on top of his chest,shallow breathing and content faces indicating the two of you were still deep in slumber.

Steve felt like dropping the original plan right then and there.All he wanted to do was to hold the two of you tightly in his arms and kiss the both of you awake like he usually does.He instead began to very carefully move the two of you off of him so that he could head to the bathroom to get ready for work.He had successfully got out of bed,was even able to go brush teeth,wash his face,and run a hand through his hair a couple times in the bathroom mirror.He quietly returned to his room,quickly getting dressed while making as little noise as possible.He grabbed his shoes and was heading for the door when he heard his boyfriend’s incredibly hot groggy morning voice.

“Babe?” Eddie mutters while trying to wipe the sleep out of his bleary eyes.’Oh God he’s so fucking pretty’ Steve thinks.The sleepy boy’s hair is fanned across his shoulders,his bun coming out at some point during the night.Eyes and lips puffy from a long slumber.His chest is completely bare,always opting for sleeping with no shirt rather than with one.

After wiping the sleep from his eyes,Eddie realizes his flustered boyfriend has being staring at him.He smirks “Whatcha staring at,pretty boy?”Steve quickly averts his eyes when he’s questioned about it.”Nothin’.Go back to sleep babe,I’m just heading to work.”Before Eddie could say another word,Steve runs out of his room.Skipping a few steps as he ran downstairs to get to the front door quicker.Steve briefly thinks about how he’s being absolutely ridiculous.Despite this,he gets in his car and starts his route to work ten minutes early to avoid his significant others anyway.

There hasn’t been many times where Eddie was more confused than he was right at that moment.His boyfriend just quite literally booked it out of his own room,no goodbye kisses for either him or their girlfriend.You eventually realize the lack of a body in the bed.Opening your eyes, you incoherently asked Eddie where Steve was.“Off to work?” He says like he’s unsure of himself.You give him a confused look and turn to glance at the alarm clock on the bedside table.

“Ten minutes earlier than usual?With no good morning kisses?” The entire thing was a little off to you.Steve always left for work at the same time each morning,not too late and definitely not too early.Not to mention he always made sure to give you and Eddie a good morning kiss when the two of you would sleep over.

“Yeah I found it weird,too.Maybe he knows they’ll be busy today?” Eddie offers despite being as confused as you were.You huff and sink back into the covers with your eyes closed.

“I suppose.But busy day be damned,we’re going over there later and getting our morning kisses.”

“No argument here,babe.”

The two of you sleep in for another hour or so,Steve being the only one who had work that day,then eventually decided to get up,dressed,and head to Steve’s place of employment.Unbeknownst to you two,Steve was venting to Robin about how the two of you were driving him crazy.Robin stayed quiet and let him ramble on about his horniness while she stocked the shelves.Once he was finally finished,Robin simply turned to him with a deadpan expression.

“You are an absolute idiot.”

Steve sighs and rolls his eyes. “Helpful as always.God,I don’t know why I still bother telling you my problems.” He tried to walk away,but the genuine sadness in his voice made Robin feel guilty.She grabbed his arm and turned him around to face her.

“I just…don’t understand what the problem is,Steve.Like have they told you they don’t want to have sex?”

“No it’s just-our relationship is still so new,I’d hate for them to think I was trying to rush them,or that I started to date them just to get in their pants!”

Robin couldn’t help but scoff in shock. “Steve!Eddie and Y/N would be the real idiots here if they actually thought that!And besides,Y/N is one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever met and,even as a lesbian,I can admit that Eddie is pretty easy on the eyes.It’s only natural that you want to jump their bones.”

Steve takes in what his best friend is telling him then gives her an odd look.”Robin,is there something you want to tell me?”

She simply rolls her eyes and walks over to her unfinished work. “Shut up,Steven.”

As Steve smirks and walks off to find something to do,he looks towards the window to see his two significant others making their way to the shop.He curses under his breath,quickly tells Robin to cover for him,then dips into the back.

“This won’t help anything!”

“It will for now!”

Robin lets out yet another exasperated sigh and puts on a smile for the two of you.

“Hi guys!”

“Hey Robbie!We’re here for our boy.Where is he?” You greeted your best friend then began to look around for the other love of your life.

“Oh he’s um-handling some stuff in the back.Suuuper busy,unfortunately.” Robin stutters,obviously very uncomfortable.You’ve known Robin for pretty long time,so you can always immediately tell when she’s lying.Before you can question her further,though,Eddie beats you to it.

“Buckley,between just the three of us,does he seem a little off to you today?He was acting pretty weird earlier.”

“Uuuh not any weirder than he usually is.I mean,it’s Steve guys.” She laughs nervously.You and Eddie simply share a look,coming to the conclusion that Robin was hiding something and wasn’t gonna be of any help.

“Well thanks anyway,Robin.See ya later.” The two of you walk out of the store defeated and Robin couldn’t possibly feel worse.She calls for Steve to come out.Steve does so,but very carefully.

“How’d it go?”

“First off:please don’t ever make me do that again.Second:you’re making them worried,you bozo!You need to them the truth!”

Steve buries his face in his hands with a groan. “Robin I just explained to you why doing exactly that is so difficult!”

“Listen to me,dingus!It was pretty damn obvious that they know something’s up.The way you’re filling your head up with these crazy assumptions is probably exactly what they’re doing right now too!You need to clear things up before it becomes a real problem.”

Steve pondered on Robin’s words for the rest of their shift and came to the conclusion that she was right.He would hate to make the two of you think that you guys were the problem when the real problem was his hyperactive libido.Later that night after getting off work,and hanging out at Robin’s place for a while to further avoid his problems,he decided to tell the two of you what’s been going on his head.He takes a deep breath,runs a hand through his hair,then finally hop out of the car and head’s to his front door.When he enters,he finds the two of you cuddled up on the couch under a thick blanket.No tv show on or music playing,just laying there talking in hushed voices and enjoying each other’s presence.

Steve’s heart swells at the sight before him.He closes the door quietly as to not startle the two of you and ruin the moment.The two of you jump the tiniest bit anyway,easily startled after certain…events.You both lit up after realizing it was him,and suddenly having both of your attention made him nervous again.He shed his jacket then walked over to the couch,giving his significant others the kisses they had been waiting literally all day for.It was hard to focus on the serious conversation ahead of him as he settled comfortably in the middle of the two of you like he always did.You two cuddled up nice and close to him,pecking his neck and shoulders softly,having missed your favorite guy while he was away all day. The kissing and close proximity had a familiar feeling stirring up in his stomach.

Steve cursed himself and shot up at the realization of what was happening.All his partners were trying to do was have a tender moment with him and he was ruining it with his insatiability.The sudden movement startled you and Eddie to say the least,causing the two of you to share a look then bring your attention back to your obviously distressed lover.You were the first to speak up.

“Stevie…what’s been going on today,huh?You’ve been acting pretty weird.”

“Yeah,babe,you’ve been off since this morning and you’re starting to freak us out a little.Is it something we did?If so,please tell us so we can fix it.”

The sincerity in both of your voices made Steve feel like shit.This was also the moment that he truly realized he blew things way out of proportion.He was literally just horny,and for all he knew: the two of you could be more than happy to help take care of his problem.

He took a deep breath in,slowly exhaling as he sat back in his original spot.He then proceed to spill his guts about what’s been eating him.You and Eddie didn’t utter a single word the entire time,just gave him your completely undivided attention.Once Steve was finished explaining,you and Eddie simple shared a knowing look.

“Stevie, I’d really be concerned if you didn’t want to has sex with me and Y/N.I mean look at us,we’re fucking gorgeous!” Eddie exclaimed with a goofy smile and a grand sweep of his lanky arms making you chuckle.

“If it makes you feel any better,sweet boy,we feel the exact same way!We’re trying to take things nice and slow with you,but you make it real hard sometimes…no pun intended.” You say with your own little grin.

“So…” Steve reaches for one of your hands and one of Eddie’s,both of you quickly meeting him halfway “it doesn’t make you uncomfortable that I feel that…this way?” you glances at you both nervously.

“Steve we will literally fuck you on this couch right now.” Eddie says with a deadpan expression making Steve choke on his own spit.

“Eddie!” You yelled,reaching over to smack the older boy’s arm.

“It’s true though!”

“Well of course it is,but you can’t just say that!”

A/N: Ending this fic abruptly for both comedic reasons and they fact that I can’t think of any other way to

[vanmarkus]

I’m a new fan (yes a post Bi Buck binge watcher, just finished season 5 yesterday ((yes I have a lot of free time)).

And this is definitely opening up old discourse, so feel free to disregard.

But. I struggled so hard to like Taylor. I tried desperately not to do the “toxic slash shipper who hates the girlfriend” thing, but I just could not like her with Buck. I think as a character, she was great! Love a motivated girlboss who pushes buttons, but not so much when she’s being girlboss mean to her boyfriend. (Not that Buck didn’t deserve it once or twice for his late season 5 bs)

But I just don’t know what it was about Buck and Taylor specifically that I didn’t like. I liked Ana and Eddie. I even liked Ali and Buck.

What was the general fandom temperature regarding Taylor and Buck during Season 5?

hoooo okay.

so first of all, welcome to the fandom, hope you can find fun people to hang out with 💛

mind you, I wasn't around during season 5, I was lurking in the trending tags so I kinda knew what was going on with buddie in general lmao but I only actually watched the show in august (took me less than 2 weeks to binge it all the way through, so believe me I know how you feel) but Taylor Kelly is... well.

let me just start by saying that I love Taylor, but she feels like she's been written by two different writers room (which is actually kind of the cast because Tim wasn't around during season 5) and while I love her bossy, career driven characteristics, I felt mad about how dirty she was done.

and not even because Buck kissed some else, but because she straight up said (paraphrasing) "you cheated on me? i don't think you should've told me about it, that's not why i'm mad" and like. what?

for a strong, confident woman in a committed relationship to just say it's okay if you cheat on me, I don't care, just don't tell me? ngl that gutted me a little bit.

aside from that, Taylor and Buck was never going to work, partially because they are too similiar (work oriented, childhood trauma and abandonment issues that neither of them worked through, implied that they both had a bit of a slutty phase, etc) and partially because their moral codes are the thing that differs the most.

which we knew to begin with; Taylor was introduced as someone who would exploit Bobby's acid trip about his dead family to get ahead in her career. that is a good enough reason not to like her and I personally think that Eddie had his reservations about her for that exact reason.

they both live for their jobs, but Taylor is in it for the chase, the excitement, the recognition; Buck is in it because being a hero and helping people is his life. very stark difference.

Buck also jumped the gun with the moving, right after doing something that you don't normally do when you feel like taking the relationship to the next level. so he kinda put a strain on the relationship even though it seemed otherwise at the time.

then of course Taylor lied to him about working on the story, though she only broke it after they caught Jonah, so people saying that she endangered Hen and Chim are weird, unless they're implying that she followed them and didn't call 911? which would be a choice...

but back to fandom's reception of her and how you don't like her with Buck. you don't have to like her at all tbh, not every character or dynamic will be likable to everyone and that's fine, it's only an issue when people spend their time on hating a fictional character instead of focusing on the ones they like and when they send hate to the actors portraying them... which is something that as far as I'm aware happened to every single actress/actor who played a love interest to Buck or Eddie on the show.

this fandom hates women in general, just look at how most people talk about Shannon, Maddie, Abby, Ana, Taylor, Natalia, Marisol... like. characters are flawed that's why they're interesting, but hating them for having to make decisions in difficult situations? or for literally nothing but dating one of the guys as is the case of Ana and Marisol (though Marisol's actress is a vile human being and her character has a seemingly weird bond with her brother, so there is that).

I'd argue that Taylor is the most hated female character on the show and I regularly see posts that feature her with tags like "taylor kelly jumpscare" and such which I just find excessive...

Hello! about your malevolent ask

[long ass answer- many apologies]

its a slightly goofy, sort of horror soap opera, in the vein of call of cthulu/tma. I dont find it Super Scary, but idk what your milage for horror is.

The overarching plot is drivin by the patrions (sp sorry), in the style of a choose your own adventure novel- you can usually tell where the choices are; it'll be something like 'omg arthur, we're at a crossroads- do we go left, to the evil cavern (where the horrors live) or right, to the evil woods (more horrors).' You can also hear more overt RPG stylings in the beginning- dice roll sounds for perception checks, etc. These do fade out after the first season.

Rough outline (some spoilers): John (a spirit/demon type guy) possesses Arthur (a detective from Arkham MA) and, in doing so, takes over his eyes. Now Arthur must navigate the world with only the guidance of the voice in his head. Horrors unfold, walls are walked into the boys are in their get-along consciousness. Think venom, if both of them were way bitchier and prone to swearing. and also eddy was blind.

IS IT GAY: Yes and no. If its a friendship, its really intense- but cannonicaly it has been very firmly stated that they are just friends. However, the relationship is intertwined and deep enough that many people consider it to be queerplatonic- Arthur being aromantic is a very popular interpretation, if that sweetens the pot for you (idk how loosely you're using gay here). Glib answer: its pretty queer, but no kissing.

COOL STUFF:

-A dramatic, intense relationship between a guy and the dude who lives in his head. They argue ( my god how they argue) they make up, they argue again.

-The saddest little english man (arthur) gets chucked off cliffs multiple times. Do you like men whimpering? This is the podcast for you!

-Very impressive voice acting: the writer voices absolutely everyone in the podcast (yes. everyone) and its genuinely almost unnoticeable. You really do have to have it pointed out to you.

-Fun, slightly campy (in the way of an rpg campaign) Lovecraft style horror

-Lovely piano soundtrack

-A gentleman called the butcher shows up in- what season 3? maybe?- and I adore him. Go singing irishman go. You get that violent homoeroticism.

Drawbacks:

Again, I don't really know your taste, but these are some of the things that might turn someone off from listening. YMMV etc.

-LOUD. If you dont like gentlemen yelling DIRECTLY AND ANGRILY INTO THE MIC then this is not for you. If you do like that, then you are about the have the time of your life. There is also just. An incredible amount of panting/heavy breathing. Also directly into the mic, and at length. Like, an 'i am secretly watching gay pornography' amount. I had it going on a speaker once and my roommate had questions, kind of amount

-Almost no women characters: understandable, since a dude is voicing Literally Everyone- but it is something of a sausage fest. Women exist in universe, they just tend to move in the backround/be unvoiced. Lots of 'oh heres whats happened to her' sort of describing around the 'I can't voice a woman' issue. One old lady has a few voice lines and thats it.

-Kind of a soap: This is a draw for me ngl, but if you are looking for TMA 2: the magnusing- she isn't it. Its a LOT lighter than tma, writing wise, and isnt exactly hitting any crazy new twists in its plot (if you've read Any lovecraftian stuff you probably wont be super surprised by anything)BUT. Its still very fun. Two dudes sharing a body, detective roadship shenanigans. They might kiss! Might see some skinned bodies or something.

The dynamics can be a lil repetative (wake up break up back together) and the plot can be a little- ehhhh. due to it being yk, patrion controlled- but that can be fun- it's pretty heavily a choose your own adventure story at heart, so if your down with that (and the sillyness that comes with it) then you'll like it.

-Gore: pretty gory. I enjoy that sort of thing/ am not really effected by it BUT if that not your cup of tea, then you might wanna skedaddle.

🤠 thats all. Again, apologies for the very long answer.

First off- don’t apologize! This gave me everything I needed- thank you for the detailed answer to my question! Looks like I’m giving this podcast a listen- everyone wish me luck 😭

[charlesleclerrc]

I have so much opinions on the show. SPOILERS

1. I personally do not like Daisy. I didn’t like her in the book or the show, in the beginning I sympathized with her and did but as it continued I started to dislike her even more and more. See even though Billy is the one married to Camila, it’s something about Daisy betraying Camila that is worse to me. Billy ain’t ish, of course and I don’t like him either, but he’s already apart of their family u know? DAISY just got there, and CAMILA is the one who had daisy’s back. She sincerely welcomes Daisy and encourages her to come back to the party because she wants her there. She pushes Billy to let Daisy to join the band. Daisy herself says “he’s lucky to have you” and after all that…she still throws herself at Billy. And THEN gets mad that Billy brought Camila to the cover shoot as if that’s not his wife? AND THEN has the gall to walk up to Camila & Julia, smiling in their face, as if she wasn’t kissing and making eyes w her husband the day before. I mean, thats got to be one of the most appalling things I’ve watched in a while. Like daisy has no girl code whatsoever, and I can’t seem to understand how u can like her after doing that to Camila? Like Camila is literally mother, she looks after everyone and has everyone best interest at heart yet is getting betrayed over and over and over again.

2. I hate the fact that no one says anything to Camila about what Billy does behind her back. As if she doesn’t look out for everyone. As if they didn’t know her since Pittsburg. As if she wasn’t Karen & Graham #1 rooter. As if she wasn’t helping the band of the ground. Like wtf ? So much for being a family that looks out for each other.

3. Billy & Daisy have no romance whatsoever. They didn’t have it in the book and they don’t have it in the show. All they have is chemistry and passion, and I’ll forever stand on that. Also, when Daisy betrays Billy’s trust and tells the reporter about his past, something in told her in confidence, that was disgusting. Like that’s not love, you don’t do that to someone you love and she had no right. What’s crazy is that Camila is the one who suffered at the hands of Billy’s past, AND she never said that. So Daisy really had no right. And all because of what? Cause the reporter told her that Billy said it was an act? That she didn’t want to believe whatever was goin on between her and Billy was all in her head? Get over yourself, you have no claims to him as he has a whole family that she could’ve hurt.

4. I support Camila cheating w Eddie. Billy cheated on Camila multiple times and then again w Daisy. He neglects their marriage and lies to her and write stuff like the song “please”. Camila has to READ that herself that’s so heartbreaking. In the middle of the night, he’s up talking to Daisy. Billy literally isn’t appreciating what he has and acting as if he’s the only one who has needs. Like u don’t think Cami has needs too? Eddie in that moment and probably more, made Camila feel confident and loved again. Billy has been treating her like some old used cardigan and Eddie came and put her on like she was new again and I honestly loved that because she doesn’t deserve feeling like that.

5. I like both Graham and Karen and understand both characters. However, in the books and show Camila & Daisy both have that convo of Graham being more into her than Karen is in him. Karen know that and continues her relationship with her. I feel like Karen should’ve been more clear or cut that relationship off right then and there. Graham should’ve understood and considered Karen’s feelings about the pregnancy and not shame her and act as if he’s not the only one in pain.

I have way more to say but ima leave it at that.

You're so right in everything you said my dear anon. As I said in the other ask I got, you can always dm and I'll happily discuss everything about this show. I didn't mind daisy much in the book, sometimes i liked her, other times i didn't. in the show she's just boring. some of her actions annoyed me, but they also did in the book so that was on character.

idk what the writers were thinking when they made camila bring daisy to her house and make her feel part of the family. the whole 'she brought into her home the woman that was gonna steal everything from her' thing? HORRIBLE!! the moments in the book when camila welcomed daisy and was kind to her were beautiful, here, they only make daisy look like backstabber. and her whining about billy and camila was ridiculous in book and it's pathetic in the show.

no one in this show deserves camila's love. they're all bad friends. i hated the whole 'yeah maybe they were cheating, but they made good songs so it was ok'. FUCK THAT!! i understood when they didn't told her the first time. but this time someone should've at least called billy out, because it's not like they barely know camila and she's just billy significant other, they're her family. they are at her house ALL THE TIME!

my interpretation of book!d*aisybilly was that yeah, he liked her, but he was more enchanted with her and everything that she represented, because when billy reached his peak as an famous singer he was already sober so he could never live things like the others did. and also they understood each other in very deep ways because they were a lot alike. in the show it feels more like lust and necessity of adventure, idk, their scenes in the don't do anything for me.

but yeah, daisy exposing not only him, but camila and their daugther like that, in both book and the show, was a shitty move.

i have the same feelings about karen and graham, they always wanted different things, but closed their eyes to that, until things exploded on their faces.

edit because i forgot eddiecamila hdjhdjsh I LOVE THEM!! they're the best thing about this adaptation even if they only have 4 scenes together. it broke my heart how camila was holding back tears when eddie said he would always choose her. that woman was feeling unloved for so long :( the only thing i'm mad about is that we didn't got a kiss. #releasetheeddiecamilacut

[wannabeschyulersister]

it’s you and me

Steve was mad at you. Scratch that. Steve was absolutely furious at you. You’d never seen your boyfriend so upset in the last two and a half years of dating him.

“What the hell were you thinking?!” He shouted.

“I was thinking that some creature dragged my boyfriend into the depths of Lovers Lake and I needed to go and save him!”

Steve shook his head, “You didn’t have to do that! I told you to stay on the damn boat and you didn’t listen.”

“You’re being ridiculous right now.”

“Yeah, well you’re being reckless! Look at the situation we are in!” He waved his arm around at the scene in front of you.

The Upside Down and its occupying creatures had been this looming threat to you and your friends for years. Now, you were actually in it. It gave you the creepiest vibes.

Eddie, Steve, Robin and yourself had found a small safe refuge under Skull Rock. When Steve got pulled into the lake, you didn’t even hesitate for a second. You dove after him and watched and he got dragged into the Upside Down. Eddie and Robin followed you.

“What was I supposed to do, Steve?“ you shouted.

“You were supposed to stay on the damn boat, (Y/n)!” He repeated.

Eddie decided to step in between you and Steve, “I normally enjoy watching a couple’s quarrel but I don’t think this is a good time.”

“Yeah, guys. We can do this later.” Robin felt extremely awkward watching her two best friends fight in front of her. Almost always, she had something humorous to say to ease the tension. This time she had nothing.

You moved around Eddie so that you were face to face with Steve again, “Why are you being such an asshole?”

“Because you’re being so stubborn and not listening to me!”

“I didn’t want anything to happen to you so I did what I thought was best!”

“And if something happens to you because you’re trying to save me?” Steve asked sternly.

“Then something happens. You expect for me to not do everything in my power to rescue you?” You questioned.

“Yeah, I do, because I can’t lose you!” You could swear that you saw Steve’s eyes get glassy with tears, “When Nancy dumped me, that was really bad, but I bounced back. I met you and it was like everything in my life suddenly made sense. If something happened to you, it would ruin me.”

Seeing Steve so upset literally tore your heart into a million pieces. You moved towards him and wrapped your arms around him being mindful of the injuries he just sustained by those freaky bats. He instantly hugged you back, resting his head on top of yours.

You weren’t angry anymore in the slightest now that you understood why he was upset. “Steve, I’m so sorry.”

“I’m sorry for yelling at you. I just can’t lose the one person who means the world to me. I don’t know what we’re going to be facing here but I just need you safe and sound.”

“I need you safe too, Steve. I couldn’t just wait on the boat. I had to come and help you. If I didn’t, you’d be gone right now and not in my arms.”

“I know that.” He rubbed your back soothingly like he always did when you embraced.

“I don’t plan on dying anytime soon. I need you here with me just as much.” You looked up at him. His lips were already so close to yours.

“It’s you and me.” It was a promise that he said from the beginning of your relationship. The two of you against the world. In that situation, the two of you against the Upside Down.

“It’s you and me.” You repeated before he pressed his lips against yours.

In that moment, you felt safe despite everything that was going on. With Steve you always felt safe. You knew that he would defend you with his life. He might hate it, but he knew that you’d do the same for him as well.

The kiss came to an abrupt end when Eddie cleared his throat, “I’d honestly rather the two of you fight instead of this.”

Forever yours, faithfully | Eddie Munson x Reader

summary: After the party comes back from the upside down, Dustin takes you to have your long awaited reunion with your boyfriend Eddie.

warnings: Spoilers, mentions of blood and wounds, established relationship, pure needed fluff

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

You just can’t bear that well known aching feeling any longer. The way that your heartbeat pounds painfully against your chest, your ears torturing you with a non-stop buzz, the warm tear streams are burning and stinging your skin with every hour that goes by, every minute, every second.

It is torture combined with pure empty agony hurting deep down in your soul.

Yearning Eddie has never been this painful before. Going mad is not too far away from reality, while you try to mend your poor hastened heart that’s begging to be alleviated.

The only comfort you have and that is keeping you sane, is the dim memory of his cigary and bergamot scent, still slightly lingering to the leather jacket he left behind for you to wear.

And that’s what you do. You’re holding on to it. Pleading to remember the warmth of his body around yours and the sound of that mellow voice of his. That loud and uniquely raspy laugh that feels like home.

And of course, holding on to that one last heartfelt kiss he gave you, before saying goodbye, promising you he would come back for ‘his girl’.

After the supposed earthquake that made almost the whole town of Hawkins leave, you just knew things had gone wrong. A dreadful feeling.

And thats when the worst ideas begin to plot in your head. Memories like flashing lights in your mind, going back to those tender core memories of him that held on to you closely.

You had sacrificed yourself at the Wheeler’s House to get caught before the party did, so while everyone was crawling down to literal hell, you wound up being held up like a criminal at the police station. Questioned and left by yourself with only the bitter taste of loneliness.

It takes one full day for your release from the station. And sweet little Dustin is the one waiting for you. Wobbly legs sprint towards him, And when he hugs you, his arms feel truly safe. It’s a warm friendly welcome, almost as if he can feel your pain. Because that same torment is there. Like an obnoxious thorn, hurting you, and reminding you of Eddie every single time you dare and close your eyes.

“Thank you for coming.” And all he can do is smile at your words. It’s hurtful for him to see you like this. So in between your tears and hopelessness of it all, he holds you tightly near his chest, sweetly caressing your back.

“Geez, almost thought we’d lost you.” He’s honest, a gentle smile peeking from his lips before pulling away gently. “There’s someone who will be pleased to see you again.”

And just like that, you can finally breath again. Painful dark torture suddenly ceases and vanishes away. Dustin guides you into the woods, taking you to that well known place that was Hoppers cabin.

To arrive and greet your friends is like a breath of fresh air. Even more, when you know who is inside, waiting for you.

“M’lady, after you” Dustin pleads, opening the squeaky door and guiding you through the reckless hallway into a bedroom, slowly opening the door as your head peeks inside. “I’ll give you two love birds some privacy.” He teases, playfully, before leaving once more.

Because there he is. Eddie. Your Eddie. And it’s like he knows how his presence is soothing, since all of the sudden he’s giving you the sweetest dimpled smile. Although right behind that smile, are glistening tears shying away, his sigh is alleviating, pure, and savors the most comforting wave of peace he had felt in a while.

“Well, well, well, aren’t you a sight for sore eyes,” Eddie’s sweet voice echoes around the room. You mirror his smile, mesmerized and loving the way he rests his head on the pillows that support his back, half sat on the bed and waiting for you. It’s like a beautiful fraile mirage you wish you could encapsulate and keep forever. “C’mere.”

There’s no need to ask twice, of course. You find yourself running to his warm welcoming arms, just like a little girl. His embrace is heavenly, comforting. And it triggers some tears that you don’t even need to fight back.

You wonder if there’s a possibility to stay like this for all eternity. Because right there, when he’s rocking your body tenderly back and forth and peppering kisses on your temple while sniffling sorrowful tears away, you feel more loved than you’d ever felt before.

It’s an embrace that reveals more adoration than words possibly ever can. His hands, always lenient, slither sweet little nothings to the skin of your back. Eddie eagers his brain to understand that you are there, and that you are real. Feeling you is the only proof that it is not a dream.

Encouraging to pull you in closer, his calloused hand guides your face near the crook of his neck. You hide there, a pool of prickled and bittersweet tears wetting his skin.

“Yeah, I missed you too sweetheart.” Eddie understands you, and he knows you. There aren’t any words needed to acknowledge that you’re hurt. anguished. It’s a well known feeling, because so is he.

What brings him comfort is the soft warmth of your body against his. He longs for his own heat to proffer some solace to you. And if it doesn’t, maybe repeating the words he says with such fondness, does. “I missed you too.”

“What happened down there?” Your voice is numb. It’s difficult to not contemplate his painful state.

His abdomen is covered in bandages, and his face still carries some traces of blood and dirt. But either way he lolls his head towards yours, making you understand that it is okay. It’s endearing to feel you close, and so incredibly intimate.

“I thought I had lost you for good” You say through the echo of a whisper.

“Well, only the good die young, y’know.” Your laugh is delightful and pleasant, but it’s honest too. Because with that simple yet endearing phrase, so typical of Eddie’s, he awards your heart with hope. “I’m fine babe. We’re fine, I promise.”

“Don’t you dare leave me again, Edward Munson” You yelp through loving strokes that caress his brown and frizzy locks.

His ringless hands cups your cheeks, and it almost makes you purr out of love. Big brown puppy eyes glimmering in a unique yet beautiful way.

“Edward?” He snorts, cringing at his own name. “Well, either me nor Edward, would even dare to leave you. Although it fascinates me that I just crawled back from Mordor and that’s all you can say to me.” You’re thankful for what he says, and very much understand what he means.

“Kiss?” You ask. The corners of your lips lifting towards your eyes, an innocent and playful smile.

And right there, he could swear by just the sight of it, that it works like a magic spell over his wounds.

His lips pucker slightly, and you giggle a soft peck over his poor busted lip. He tastes like medicine, it dissolves quickly into your mouth. “Hmm, much better.” He coos. Arms pulling you in closer once more. You melt under his touch.

“Eddie?”

“Hmm?” He mumbles, gifting gentle strokes to your skin. His heartbeat is strong against your eardrum.

“What are we going to do? Whole Hawkins is rooting for you to get caught.” He grins at your worries. Not because he likes to see you suffer with overthinking, but because you’re caring about him enough to ask about his future well-being.

“We’ll figure it out later, m’kay? Right now I just wanna feel you close for a little while longer.” His whisper eases your concerns.

To pepper soft kisses on your head might be his newest favorite thing ever.

What he hears then is the dim sound of your friends voices through the window, birds whistling faintly in the woods, and your gentle breath. His heart is at ease, now that he has you by his side. It was the missing piece of the puzzle.

“I promised I would come back to my girl, and I did.”

“I love you.” Your faint voice fills the void of the room. The sound of Eddie’s melodic laugh joins too.

“Don’t get too cliché.” He’s kidding. Of course he is, and you know it. Even after slapping his shoulder gently. “You know that I love you more than anything in this world.” As for one thing he knows it is true;

For you, he is willing to travel oceans of time and crawl up the burning walls of hell, just to see your eyes and touch your lips, one more time.

[roanniom]

ughhhh your surprising hc’s about eddie have me WEAK!!! just pda with eddie, being that sickeningly cute touchy couple… that’s all i want man

Not PDA exactly but this is where I went with it ♥️

Feels Good

Eddie Munson x Reader

Warnings: NSFW, 18+ ONLY, smut, hand job, semi-public sex, dirty talk, slightly subby!Eddie but not exactly dom/sub dynamics just flustering our boy real good (in my world Eddie is 100% a switch and you can quote me on that)

Eddie Munson wants you to touch him. Full stop. That boy wants your hands on him at all times. Wants you to reach for his hand as you walk through the parking lot after a Hellfire session. Wants you to slot your body against his up under his arm as you slide in beside him in the booth at the local diner.

Eddie Munson is happy to be the one to initiate the physical things in your relationship - and he often is - but he goes out of his mind at the thought of you needing him. Just needing him and his body and the things it can do for yours.

So on the day you reach out over the center console of his van and place a hand on his thigh, he has to keep his whole body from convulsing. He looks down at your hand against his jeans and back up at the road before flitting his eyes over to you. You don’t even seem to notice. You’re reclined in the passenger seat, face forward and staring at the road, a small smile of contentment on your lips. Like you aren’t making him want to crawl out of his skin from the pleasure of your touch.

“What’s uh…what’s going on, baby?” He asks, having to clear his throat. You look over at him lazily.

“Hm?” You seem utterly unaware of what he’s talking about. Eddie keeps his eyes on the road but smirks.

“Felt like putting your hand on something to claim it for later?” He nods in the direction of your hand on his thigh. You cock your head to the side and chuckle.

“Just felt like touching you, is all.” You begin to slide your hand back and forth over the taut denim. Each time you slide back a little higher. Your voice takes on a more teasing lilt now that you have an idea of how it’s affecting him. “Do I have to have a reason to touch you, Eddie?”

Eddie swallows thickly.

“Baby, I’ll be honest. If you touch my dick right now one of two things will happen - I’ll either crash this van or I’ll pull over and fuck you so hard you won’t be able to walk tomorrow.”

“Well you can’t afford a new van,” you say cheekily, tiptoeing your fingers up towards the growing bulge in his jeans. You lean over the center console and up to whisper in his ear. “And it’s my day off tomorrow, so I don’t need to walk.”

The tires are squealing and breaks are screeching before you can even think of how Eddie’s going to react. He’s got you pulled into the backseat before another heartbeat passes and he’s on you. Got you pushed down with your back against the pile of blankets he keeps back there for when he takes you to the drive in or Lover’s Lake.

“Eddie!” you squeal around a laugh as he mauls you with kisses all over your face and neck, his hands caressing and squeezing and groping literally every part of your body he can reach.

“Mmm Princess,” he moans back into your mouth appreciatively before moving down to suck at the place beneath your jaw. You laugh again and try and push at his shoulders.

“Eddie, stop.”

His body goes immediately still and he leans back to look in your eyes.

“You-you want me to stop, baby?”

At the clear uncertainty on his face you rush to shake your head.

“No of course not,” you say, pressing your lips to his in a bruising kiss. His instant concern and willingness to cater to your comfort has your body tingling and you deepen the kiss quickly. Eddie’s the one to pull away, however.

“Getting some mixed signals here, sweetheart,” he says with a good natured chuckle. “What’s going on in your pretty head?“

You take this moment to gently push against his chest and shoulder. He lets you manipulate him till it is his body laid back against the blankets. He watches you with confusion etched in his brow but you kiss it away. You stay kneeling at his side and begin sweeping your hands over his shoulders, his chest, down the lengths of his arms, his abdomen.

“Just felt like touching you,” you repeat your earlier statement. “Remember?“

Eddie’s eyes widen with comprehension and a deep blush begins to spread across his cheeks and down his neck. He feels the heat rising in his skin and feels a bit ridiculous. He’s fucked you silly in every square inch of this van, and most of the trailer at this point. He’s no stranger to your body and your love. But there’s something about the way you shift to maintain eye contact with him when he tries to look away that has his heartbeat increasing. You want to do this for him. Your participation and your enjoyment are always his top priority but there’s something about your selfless insistence in focusing on him that’s got him blinking up at you.

“You sure? Because I’d also be down to do all the work, m’lady,” he says, adopting an affected accent and sitting up, grabbing your hips. But you know him. You know he puts on accents and gets silly to try and keep from being vulnerable so you push him back, but allow his grip on your hips to haul you on top of him in the process.

Now you straddle his lap but you’re still above him. Again, he blinks up at you, ruffled.

“While that’s a tempting proposition, I’d really rather focus all my attention on this.” You lean down slowly - so slowly he feels like his brain is glitching - and begin to kiss the side of his throat.

The kiss becomes a nibble and soon you’re sucking on the tender skin, all while your hands continue to take in the hard planes of his body. Eddie’s breathing picks up. You notice the increasingly harsh rise and fall of his chest and his face gradually becomes warmer. He’s flustered by the attention. His hands stay obediently on your hips and you’re pleased he isn’t trying to fight the onslaught of affection you’re throwing at him.

When you begin to move back, straddling his thighs now instead of his lap, kissing down his chest, he does try to sit up to follow you. You push him right back down.

“Let me, baby,” you coo. He’s flustered, yes, but there’s no denying he’s turned on. You’d felt his erection beneath you before you’d even seen it and now that you’ve moved back you can see how hard he’s straining in his jeans. You tsk and run a sympathetic hand over his bulge. “This can’t be comfortable. Let me take care of that for you.”

You pitch forward and ruck up his shirt with one hand, exposing his tattooed abdomen. Placing kissed down the length of his exposed skin, making your way down his happy trail, your hands get busy unbuckling his belt and opening his jeans. It’s slow work, and when you grip him through his boxers Eddie grunts.

“Fucking Christ.”

He can’t even watch you as you peel the fabric down and expose him in all his swollen, leaking glory. His eyes are fixed on the ceiling of his van, squeezing shut with a groan when your hand wraps around him. Your thumb circling the wet tip to smear the collecting precum.

“Look at me, Eddie.” You say the words gently but his eyes fly to you as if you’d commanded him. His eyelids flutter at the sight of you.

Straddling his legs. His cock in your hand as you slowly start to move it up and down. You must have spit in your hand or something when he wasn’t looking because the drag of your palm against his length is perfectly lubricated and the wet shick shick shick of you fisting him fills the van.

Your other hand is placed on his lower belly. Definitively. Possessively. The sight of that hand on his skin - the feel of your warm pressure there - almost does more to him than the hand jerking his cock.

“Holy f-fuck, Princess.”

You hum in response to his stuttering. Lean down to place a kiss to his tip just as your hand twists and jerks in its upward motion.

“You always take care of me so well, Eddie.” Your words are matter of fact. Looking back at him with big eyes filled with nothing but adoration. “You make sure I’m happy. Make sure I’m fed. Make sure I cum.”

At your words Eddie lets out a whine. It’s a sound he’s never heard himself make. You’ve never heard it either but it lights up a part of your brain that makes you desperate to hear it again.

“You’ve made me cum harder than anyone else. I can’t even make myself cum as hard as you can.”

There’s that whine again. You chuckle to yourself at the way this is undoing him because of course. Of course your Eddie - the man who pleasures you for his own pleasure - wants to be told how good he makes you feel.

“I think your cock just got harder, Eddie. I didn’t even know that was possible.”

“It’s always possible with you,” Eddie explains with a strained chuckle.

“Did you get harder because you like hearing that you’re good at fucking me? Or was it because you like hearing how much I enjoy it?”

“That you enjoy it.” Eddie’s answer doesn’t even take a second. He’s honest and fast with his response. “I just want you to enjoy it.”

You speed up your hand on his cock then and he lets out a deep moan.

You’ve jerked him off before, so this is nothing new. But there’s something about the focus of the moment. They way you’re giving and he’s allowing himself to take. He’s not fighting with you for dominance like he usually would. He’s fully absorbing your adoration for him and it makes you want to flood him with even more.

“I always enjoy it. You’re so good to me, Eddie. So good for me.”

His hips stutter violently then and a smile spreads across your face. Eddie loved to praise you in bed and you loved to get praised. You always tried to reciprocate but it’s hard to do so when you’re getting fucked brainless all the time. So right now, with your wits about you, you decide it’s time to return the favor.

“You like hearing me say you’re good for me, huh?”

“Y-yeah.”

“Yeah. Well good, because you’re so good for me, Eddie. You make me feel so good with your perfect hands and your perfect cock. And fuck is this cock perfect.”

He’s looking away again. Unable to process all of your words. His eyes are squeezed shut against your praise and you take the opportunity to speed up you fist.

“You’re so pretty, Eds. You know that? Fuck.”

You hear his breathless chuckle in response, but that’s it. Your boisterous, talkative Eddie Munson has been reduced to a quiet, shivering mess.

“I mean it. You’re so fucking pretty. I just want to touch you all the time.” You shift so that you’re back to straddling his lap, his cock (with your hand still on it) right between your legs. You lean forward so your other hand can slide from his pink-blotched throat, up the curve of his jaw and into his hair. His eyes open, a bit unfocused and disoriented, but locking wit yours nonetheless.

“You can touch me whenever you want.”

“I intend to,” you breathe, and lurch forward to kiss him.

Eddie whines into your mouth and begins rutting upwards with his hips. It’s jostles you, but you just keep pumping him, pulling him closer and closer to climax with each tug. Some sort of dam breaks and suddenly he snaps, all of the words stuck inside of him as you overwhelmed him with your touch spewing out of him now all at once.

“I-I want you all the time, sweetheart. You put your hands on me and - fuck! I feel like I could fucking explode anywhere. It just feels so - oh god.”

“Feels good, Eds? Yeah?”

“Sooo good. You feel so fucking good. Make me feel so fuck good.”

He’s whimpering now and the sound has you soaking through your underwear. The pulsing between your legs is insistent now. Your stomach clenches with need and you’re rocking back and forth in his lap with each pump of your hand on his cock. But you stay patient. You know Eddie will insist on taking care of you afterwards whether you as or not.

“You gonna be good and cum for me, Eddie? Huh?”

He’s said those words to you before but never heard them directed at himself. He spasms in your grasp and whines.

“I want to be good for you.”

“You’re so good, Eddie.” He grips the back of your neck and pulls you into his chest, holding onto you for dear life. You place kisses to his hot skin through his shirt. “So fucking good.”

“I’m…I’m gonna cum, baby.” His words are strangled and you make sure not to let up, pumping his cock until he’s cumming all over your hand, his hot spend spilling out on his stomach and yours.

“Mmmm so good for me,” you hum against him and his stomach contacts wildly at the praise.

“H-holy fuck,” he stutters again.

When he finally loosens his grip on you, you let go of his softening cock and pull away.

“What - where are you…?” He reaches for you blindly as you get up and move to the front seat, wiping yourself off with an extra fast food napkin you found in the center console. Settling into the driver’s seat you look over your shoulder and smile at his disheveled and debauched appearance.

“We’re on the side of the road, Eddie. I’m driving us home.” You say it like the answer is simple. As the van rumbles back to life and you shift it into gear, Eddie struggles to sit up.

“I mean I can do it -,”

“Lay back down, mister. I’m perfectly capable of handling this hunk of metal.” You chastise playfully. He drops back down on his elbows and laughs as your eyes find his in the rear view mirror. “Besides. I need you to rest up. You’re supposed to make it so that I can’t walk tomorrow, remember?”
