ABC Head Canon - Eustass Kid

SFW Alphabet!

18+ only

-:- Table of Consent -:-

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Kid is surprisingly affectionate. He's all about holding hands and snuggling, but unless he's being a cheeky bastard he's not going to do it in public much. He has a reputation to maintain (one that no one who knows him actually takes seriously, but still).

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Kid as a best friend is 100% ride or die. He's going to be gruff, but he'll have your back in everything. He might be a dick about what he says or does, but at the end of the day you'll know that it was the best advice/action for you that he could provide.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

I view Kid as a mult-tasker cuddler. He'll play video games while you're snuggled with him, or even read – if you're willing to hug onto like a reverse backpack he's even been known to work on tinker stuff, tilting his head down from time to time to kiss the top of your head while he fiddles with a project.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Kid is awful at cooking. He's surprisingly good at cleaning, even if he's not a fan of it, it's gotta get done. He'll pay for someone to keep common-areas clean, but his work spaces have lots of rules for cleaning and organizing (for safety and sanity reasons). He'll say he doesn't want kids or a family, but if the situation fell into his lap he'd be terrified and excited at the same time. He'd end up doing hours of research so he didn't mess anything up.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

Eustass Kid breaking things off with someone would be cold and cruel. He'd want you to hate him by the time you walked away from it so that you wouldn't dwell on things and could move on faster. He'd be a real bastard, but then he'd be on a rage-bender for days or weeks because it would mess him up – even if he absolutely knew it was for the best. He's a soft-heart even if he'd die before he'd admit it.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Kid doesn't think anyone is going to want to keep him around for forever. He would blow off concepts of commitment and marriage and be really flippant about them, but it's really just him trying to keep himself from getting his hopes up. He would be a nervous mess if he risked popping the question, but I think he would be completely okay with being asked.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Almost no one is going to equate GENTLE with Eustass Kid. He has the emotional subtly of a hammer, but he's painfully aware that he's a big, bulky, scary looking guy with scars and a gruff voice. Usually he utilizes this to keep people at a distance, but once he realizes you aren't afraid of him you'll see all the parts of him that are physically gentle. He struggles with emotions a lot, but he does try.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

Kid loves hugs, but he's not one to initiate them. There's an emotional component to them, and he's not comfortable with that, so he'll hug when asked, but unless he's fired up and caught up in a celebration, he's not going to scoop someone up into a hug.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

Kid will swear you will never hear him say such a useless sappy word, and if you stick with him for forever you might only hear it a handful of times over the years, but his actions will speak for him long before he finally gives in and says it for the first time.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they're jealous?)

Kid gets jealous easy, and it's a weird kind of jealous. It's not that he doesn't trust you, it's that he doesn't trust the world. If he cares enough about you To Get Jealous in the first place, then it's because you're a special person and he knows if he can see it, other people can see it. Since he doesn't think he's the kind of guy anyone wants to stay with, he gets tangled up in jealousy easily.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Kid's more action than talk, and while hugs leave him feeling emotionally vulnerable, kisses are a way for him to show his skills, and he is not shy about showing off. He could write a book on different ways to kiss someone and be set for life.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

Kid is a kid. He's a big kid. He's going to be young at heart for the rest of his life, and he's really great with kids. He's not entirely sure exactly what to do with kids that are too young to communicate, but loose a gaggle of 7-12-year-olds onto him and your biological clock will assure you he'll make a Great Dad™.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Mornings with Kid are like being around a teddy bear. He doesn't say much, he'll cuddle you on reflex if you get too close, and if you want him to wake up faster you're going to have to consider some NSFW things.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

... Oh I can't really answer that safely, but, outside of Kid's favorite night time activity, he gets more energetic as the day goes on, so if you're too tired at night that's probably when he'll exercise, just so he can burn off enough energy to go to bed.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

He's more upfront about things he thinks will scare you off at the beginning. If you stick around and get past that you'll slowly learn everything about him. It might take some time, but it won't necessarily be because he's embarrassed or secretive. He just doesn't think anyone would find him that interesting.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Kid's temper is like flash paper – it's easy to ignite and burns bright, but it doesn't last long. He can smolder about something for Weeks if it's really important, but if things get resolved he's not holding onto things. He only gets physical when there's a need for it – like an actual fight or conflict that requires it. As loud as he gets during an argument with a friend or partner he never lets it turn into a physical fight.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

Kid doesn't want you to know that he knows, but he doesn't forget much of anything. His hobbies are detail-oriented, and so is he. But remembering things is sappy sucker stuff, so he's not admitting to any of it – but hang around him long enough and you'll realize he knows everyone's favorite drink, gives little random "whatever" gifts for every birthday, and certainly remembers to get tickets for the thing you mentioned that one time, and it's really no big deal.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

There's that moment when even Kid can't argue that you like him. A touch, a phrase, an event, something where even the most oblivious person on the planet would know – that's his favorite moment. When there was no room for him to argue how you've felt about him and not even the worst of his brain weasels could convince him otherwise.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Kid's almost too protective. He's big and bad. The world's big and bad. And you're not. Not compared to him, not compared to a cruel world. He doesn't want to lock you away in a tower, but it's a tempting idea. He really struggles with letting you have healthy freedoms and such, balanced against making sure you're safe.

And while he can't stop you from protecting him in return, he won't be happy about it. I mean, he will be happy that you care enough to want to protect him, but he's the big bad tough one in the relationship, and he's supposed to protect you.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

As loud and proud as Kid is, his gifts and dates and such are surprisingly lowkey. He's not a shout from the mountaintops kind of guy when it comes to his love for you, but he doesn't forget. Even if he might let you think he has forgotten.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

Kid doesn't handle his emotions well. As much as communication helps, sometimes you just have to let him fume for a while or cool off before you can do anything about it. It can be frustrating, but there's a lot of trauma behind it, and considering his size and strength, it's amazing that as ugly as it gets, he's never hurt anyone physically. He's hurled items around and punched holes in walls, but he's never even punched Killer during the worst of his fits, and Killer could legitimately take it.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Kid is surprisingly well-groomed. He looks rough and tumble, and he's not walking around smelling like strawberries or anything, but he keeps things trimmed and keeps himself clean. Tinkering and robotics are easier when you're not grimy.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

Kid can move on, and eventually he will if things don't work out, but if things last you'll get him to admit that he didn't even know he was missing something until you came along and like, don't let that go to your head or anything.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

I don't think Kid ever knew a family before becoming friends with Killer. I feel like his name is Kid because he had like "Eustass" on a tag on a basket and the street people called him "That Eustass Kid" and he just decided his name was Eustass Kid. So when it comes to family stuff he's super awkward, but he always wanted one, so when it happens for him he's a mix of excited, happy and terrified he'll mess it all up.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn't like, either in general or in a partner?)

Indecisiveness. Being wishy washy about things will drive him to making the choice for you, and neither of you are going to like that because he'll choose to cut his losses before things go any further.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)

Kid snores unless he's snuggling something. Doesn't matter if it's you, a pillow, a teddy bear or what. It's weird and you don't know why it works that way, but it does.

[apdreadful]

I’ve decided that from here forward I’m writing Tommy and Buck/Evan as long term canon. In the words of Buck himself “Who cares?!”

I get the feeling that Tommy is difficult to get really angry. Mostly based on his past. And his general roll with the punches attitude thus far. So I don’t foresee a lot of strife or fighting in his future with Buck. Except the first time Tommy experiences the after of that big marshmallow Evan Buckley doing something really dangerous and reckless..again.

And Tommy who never gets angry, who never shouts at Buck, who flew a helicopter into a goddamn hurricane in the middle of the ocean, really loses his shit this time because Buck cannot understand why Tommy is so upset that he dropped into a dangerous situation against orders AGAIN.

Tommy pinches the bridge of his nose to keep from shouting “Bobby told you not to go in. He told you not to risk it. That the floors were too unstable”

“There could have been someone left” Buck replies “Someone needed to check. It had to be me”

“Why? Because you’re fucking super human? The great Buck Buckley from the 118 who scoffs at danger, has survived a tsunami, getting trapped beneath a fire truck, throwing a blood clot, and was officially dead for three minutes after getting struck by FUCKING LIGHTNING!”

“How do you know about all of that?”

“That isn’t what matters”

“I think it is” Buck takes a step toward Tommy “Have you been stalking me babe?”

Noticing the mischievous smile Tommy shakes his head “Oh no no no. You are not going to adorable your way out of this”

Bucks shoulders sag and he sighs “I’m ok Tommy. Not even a scratch”

“I can see that” Tommy lets out a deep exhale “I understand the risks of the job. I’m not like your exes who would get all distraught over you removing a cat from a tree. But for fucks sake, you are worse than the EOD guys when I was in Afghanistan with the walking - or in your case running or jumping- right into the worst case scenario with no thought of your own safety” Rubbing his forehead he continues “Evan. You’ve got a savior complex and it’s noble and selfless..”

Buck cuts him off “It’s not a savior complex. I’m not stupid. I understand that sometimes no matter what you do you can’t save them. But sometimes maybe you can, and in those cases, I just make the most sense”

Tommy crosses his arms to keep from strangling him or kissing him stupid again to shut him up “How is that? How does you possibly dying make any sense?”

“They all have people that need them. They all have someone they belong to and..” he trails off with a small shrug

And Tommy hears the words he doesn’t say. He is…expendable. And just like that all of the anger drains out of Tommy to be replaced by a something else. “Evan” he says softly.

“I know” Buck interjects “I know that people love me and they would be sad, especially Maddie. And I don’t want to die. But I don’t want someone who has someone they need, and that needs them, to die either. I couldn’t live with that”

Tommy closes his eyes. This man..How can he be so adorable and selfless, yet so completely stubborn and a pain in the ass about his own safety?

Once he calms his thoughts and finds the words he wants to say, he opens his eyes to see Evan looking at him calmly. Like he expects Tommy to see the sense in what he said.

“Evan. I know we haven’t really put a label on this. On us. But that’s because I don’t want to pressure you. I’m the first man you’ve been with and you’re still figuring out who you are, and I understand that. But let me clarify something for you. I need you to come back to me. Ok?”

Buck blinks “Huh”

“I need you to come back to me” he repeats “Like Bobby needs Athena, and Karen needs Hen, and yes like Maddie needs Chimney.

“And Jee-un. Jee-yun needs her dad”

“Yes, and in that same vein, Christopher needs Eddie” he agrees, trying not to give in to his exasperation. “I need you. I am that person who needs you to come home Evan”

Evan stops whatever he was about to say. Startled awareness creeping into his eyes..Tommy sees a mix of emotions flit across his face. Surprise, joy, fear, everything just races across that expressive face and then Evan sinks onto the barstool at his kitchen island. His hands coming up to cover his face.

Tommy’s stomach clench’s. He pushed too hard, too soon “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that. I do care and want you to come home but..”

Buck looks up at him “Don’t you dare take that back”

“I’m not taking it back. I just don’t want to push you”

Something else crosses Evans face at that..but he tugged at his bottom lip with his teeth. “You aren’t pushing. You aren’t pressuring me. I am in this just as much as you. I just don’t know how to say what I want to say without it sounding lame and emo as shit”

“Did you just hear me? You can say anything to me Evan. Whatever it is”

Buck rolls his bottom lip between his teeth again. “I’ve never questioned why I do this…I mean it’s the whole reason I was born. To save my brother. To save Daniel. That’s what I do, that’s who I am. It’s why I became a firefighter. To be the one who saves people. The 118 is my family. And I would do anything to protect them from harm”

“I’m not asking you to stop. I would never ask that. I just want to remind you that you matter to a lot of people, and you also have someone who is waiting for you”

Bucks voice is thick “I know that. I get that. But…Nobody has ever. I have never belonged to anyone, like that”

In a sense of deja vu Tommy closes the short distance to Buck. Tipping his face up, he kisses him. Not soft and gentle like their first kiss in this kitchen. But bold and deep. Branding Evan with his mouth. Pulling back he says fiercely “You belong to me like that. For as long as you want..you belong to me and I belong to you, like that”

“I will ALWAYS need you to come back to me Evan”

ABC HeadCanon - Eustass Kid

NSFW Alphabet!

18+ only

-:- Table of Consent -:-

NSFW Alphabet!

A = Aftercare (what they're like after sex)

He's never been exhausted after sex. You'd probably have to use toys on him to wear him out without also wearing yourself out, but because of that he's got plenty of energy to take care of you both. He gets you and himself cleaned up, being really warm and gentle in the shower or bath. He's really easy to rile back up, and he'll only give you one chance to let him know if you're legitimately too tired – it's a surprisingly sweet mix of cocky and gentle.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner's)

Kid likes his right hand – in AUs where he has both flesh hands he'll say he likes his tongue. For you it depends on where you are in the relationship. He'll say you have a nice ass at the start, admit you've got really beautiful eyes when he's admitting that he's caught feelings for you, and after that he'll admit that it's that one space he found on accident the other night that made you make that sound, and now that's his favorite part of you.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

He just wants to cover you in it or fill you up with it. He swears that you sound different when you orgasm right after he fills you up, but you think he's just being a bastard about teasing you.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

I... cannot imagine Kid having a dirty secret he wouldn't be willing to share. Which then wouldn't make it a secret. The trick would be figuring out if everything he's admitted to is legit, or if some of it is just him being a cheeky bastard.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they're doing?)

Kid growing up on the streets mean he's got experience. His mouth probably got him into an intimate situation more than once because he wouldn't back down. He doesn't equate sex with love, but when he loves someone he tends to let them set the pace so he doesn't run them off by coming on too hard too fast.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Any way where he can see your face. Whether via mirror or whatever, just being able to watch your face as he messes you up with pleasure is a real ego boost for him.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

He's probably had a couple moments where things went goofy unintentionally, but giggles would be turned back into moans real quick.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Kid keeps himself trimmed and clean. He wants the focus to stay on yours and his pleasure, and not get derailed by errant hairs or anything else. If you like things hairier though, he'll let himself go feral. He won't shave or wax though, he doesn't like what it does to his skin.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

He's an action over words kind of guy, and that means he'll do a lot of little gestures and shrug them off if you point them out. Like bringing you a drink when you were just thinking you were getting kind of thirsty, or splitting his fries without you asking, or skipping a song because the last time it came on he saw you made a face.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

He certainly does, but he almost never mentions it to you. He doesn't want to accidentally guilt you into sex if you aren't up for it. He's a big boy, he can take care of himself when he needs to – and if you're up for it after he's already taken care of himself? Well, there was gonna be foreplay anyway, so he'll recover.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

I've said before, and I'll say again – Kid's kinks have kinks. He's got you comfortable with safe words for months before he does anything to even get you to say one of them. No matter what you ask for or want to try he's always up for doing it at least once.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

He's not much of an exhibitionist – only because he doesn't want anyone else to see you looking and sounding like that – but he'll let you think he is one, if teasing you about it will turn you on more. Aside from that, he's up for any place and time, though one of his favorite places is the workshop.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

He's up for a good romp without prompt 99% of the time, but when you come to him and ask for it, there's a sweet chill that runs up his spine and he's struggling to restrain himself for the first few minutes, so he doesn't accidentally hurt you.

N = No (something they wouldn't do, turn offs)

Choking – it's not that he's exactly against it, but he's worried about getting caught up in it or doing it wrong. He'll steal your breath and make you dizzy in other ways, but unless he makes a prosthetic specifically optimized for it, he'll shy away.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Kid takes pride in his oral skills. You make the mistake of doubting him at one point and he goes down on you for so long you were begging him to stop. He does like receiving as well, but you get the impression he'd rather give than get – not that he'd turn it down, but he rarely prompts you.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

His default is fairly rough, but he has the skills to run the whole gamut. You riled him up one time for an entire day and by the time he finally snapped he was rough and unforgiving. It was still hot as hell, but he was grumbling for a couple days afterward because you were too sore and needed to heal up. He'd rather do it every day than have to hold back, so you don't push him that much too often.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Despite his personality, Kid doesn't care for quickies. He's not a fan of rush jobs in any sense of the word. The quickest he cares to go is somewhere around the 20 minute mark, and if things wrap up that fast there's going to be a round two or three afterward. (Good meals take time >.> )

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Eustass is open to a lot of things, and is certainly a "try something once more if you like it" kind of guy. The only thing he prefers to avoid is anything that you'll have to spend a day or two recovering from. Certain things can be worked around, however, and you'll get to see his softer side if you're only dealing with rope burns the next day.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

Eustass is a machine. He loves machines, he builds machines, he's part machine, and even his flesh parts seem to be machine too. You aren't sure what it would take to wear him out, but after a while you're convinced the answer is a harem.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Eustass doesn't just own toys, he builds his own. He seems to make more the longer you two are together, and he's scary good at tailoring them. He does have toys for himself, but he generally uses them to calm himself down when he needs it and you're either not available or there's not enough time and he needs to focus.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Eustass loves to tease. He generally uses it to rile you up and then make you a mess afterward, but he'll certainly tease you to tears with edging if you've, um, "earned" it. He'll bring toys into it, everything from feathers to a custom built sybian.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

He likes to talk dirty, but aside from the commentary he doesn't make much noise. You can hear him grunt and hiss from time to time when something hits particularly well, but usually he's enjoying the sounds he's making you make, and he doesn't want to miss those.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

He enjoys being pegged. He walked you through the whole process and you have to admit you were a little drunk with power making him cum that way. He fucked you for so long afterward you could barely move the next day, so it's not something you do often.

X = X-ray (let's see what's going on under those clothes)

I don't see there being much of anything going on under Kid's clothes. If it's an AU where there aren't any devil fruits, then he probably has some interesting piercings, but if he has his DF he's completely unpierced. He'd be too eternally embarrassed if he yanked a piercing outta himself because of a surge or awakening.

ETA: I have learned this is referencing one's size/shape and look – Eustass is big. Thick and definitely pushing the upper limits of "is that going to fit!?"

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

He's got a healthy sex drive, but once he got attached to you it's gone up. He does his best to restrain himself so you aren't put off/exhausted/bothered by it, but if you vacation with him and there's nothing solid planned, then you can expect to have rounds and rounds of sex for days straight before he's slowing down.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

He doesn't fall asleep after. He's usually wide awake after you're both done, and sometimes he'll even go work in the shop for a while because he's too energized. If you're not teetering on the edges of passing out he'll bring you with him to keep you nearby, but he'll also stay in bed and snuggle you until you fall asleep before he'll go burn off his excess energy on his own.

When you wake up, here's right there by you, so you're not sure how often he goes to the workshop.

[apdreadful]

The couples hanging out and playing silly couple games when Chimney asks “What’s Tommy’s favorite four letter word?” and Buck turns bright red and buries his face in his hands and mumbles as Tommy grins.

Karen cackles and rubs her hands together “Oh it must be dirrrty”

And Hen says “Oh I bet I know what it is?” And tilts her head and in an exaggerated imitation of Tommy’s bedroom voice she purrs “Evan”

Muah hahahahaha

[collect-ivision]

I want—need—whatever happens with Buck and Tommy to last more than a couple of episodes. I desperately do not want this to be rushed.

Parallel it with Abby, where she was his first adult relationship and he grew and learned things about himself. Except for the love of all things holy let whatever he has with Tommy end better than that did.

[9x07]

there's something so special to me about the Maddie, Chimney, Buck and Josh poker scene, because the entire scene reads as queer fully in text not even subtextually, madney discuss having no couple friends to do a couples hang and so invite buck and josh because they're single, buck and josh get on and banter, josh makes a joke about it feeling like a set up for a double date and seems okay with the idea, buck does not push back on the idea at all either he in fact smiles, and maddie doesn't bat at eye at the suggestion that buck and josh would be set up on a date, just that she lightheartedly suggests she likes josh to much to match him up with buck

[pigeonxp]

i cant believe there are people who watch 911 who dont think that eddie is gay/is going to come out inevitably.

[oneshotnewbie]

Can you do a headcanon about Lexie and Amelia being the annoying little sister's to Derek an Amelia and both of them get compared to their older siblings by everyone?

---

It wasn't always easy to be a Grey or a Shepard, especially when you were the younger born under that name.

For Lexie, being a Grey meant being compared to her older sister at a young age and being compelled to follow in the footsteps of her famous mother; Ellis Grey. She often didn't like the fact that she was not seen by everyone as a person of herself but always only carried under her last name.

That also meant pressure for the youngest. Nocturnal study phases, perfect grades, no time for friends. She often felt left out and alone, but she didn't know it any other way; she was always told that her career is more important than anything else in the world.

Amelia was no better. She also had a huge name that she had to bear with all the burdens that came with it. And she broke because of them. The feeling of being overwhelmed and fearful of failure were feelings that were accompanied by shame. There was no room for that in this family full of doctors.

She struggled through breakdowns, deaths, loss, drug use and pulled herself together at school to keep the name Shepard clean. And so she got one of the best neurosurgeons in the state.

Lexie and Amelia met in the early years of medical school when they walked into each other and since then, they have been inseparable. Because they both were the youngest and had two of the greatest doctors in the family, they quickly came to a common denominator.

Once they became medical students at Seattle Grace, where again they were only known as the younger siblings of the best surgeons, they gave Meredith and Derek hell on earth.

They were annoying in different ways. They crashed romantic dates, destroyed intimate moments and the quiet idyll of the OR was devastated by their problems and thoughts. Suddenly, they were in the center of the hospital, everyone talking about the younger generation of Shepards and Greys and put their siblings in the shadows.
