Song I based this on is If I Killed Someone For You.
Characters are Lynx and Cupid. These characters are not mine, and some stories will not line up with the original. 
The creator of these two, specifically, is Wolfiechan_quack. 
Warning: Lynx is a demon and in the story, his late wife was a fallen angel. There will be dark tones in most of these stories.

Lynx Pov:
    It’s always darkest on this day...
 Cupid pulls up to me, opening the door. I step in and sit quietly in the back, the window quickly becoming the most interesting thing in the car. The ride was always the worst part, bottling all emotion and doubt as memories flood through my mind. There was always a particular memory that called out for my attention.

~Flashback~
The fire burns bright as I hold her close. I take a breath and step back, she glances at me worriedly. 
“Is everything alright?” Her honey-sweet voice rings out.
“Better than alright,” I respond with a smile. I snap my fingers and music begins to play. A body, broken bones, protruding the skin, with dead glassy eyes, staring up into an abyss. Blood drips onto the floor as she watches curiously. I get on one knee and softly sing.
“Would you love me more, if I killed someone for you?”
Her face lights up, blood drips.
“Would you hold my hands, they’re the same ones that I used~ When I killed someone for you.”
Drip.
“Would you turn me in, when they say I’m on the loose?”
Drip.
“Would you hide me when my face is on the news?”
Drip.
“ ‘Cause I killed someone for you~”
Drip.
I stop singing and hold out a golden ring with rubies embedded in it, I had been working on it for the past month trying to get it perfect.
“Most importantly, will you marry me?”
~Flashback Ends~

“We’re here, sir,” Cupid states, holding the door open for me. I merely nod and walk out. 
    The cemetery gates welcoming me back.
