If you are sensitive to suicidal themes, death or cutting things off of a body I suggest you don't read this.
So before I start this I want to share a Sadstuck idea I've had about Eridan for a while. I'm not sure of all the kinks yet but I have a main idea.
So the cape Eridan wears, in my Sadstuck it is a cape that has been passed down in his family for many generations. As the Ampora's are players of hope, that means they cannot or do not have hope, because of this, they are depressed and cut to relieve the pain. However, the cape they wore had been white and had been sullied by their violet blood. As the sweeps went by more and more blood was stored in the fibres meaning it was almost impossible to wash any of it out. Now its Eridan's turn.
________________________________________________________________________

Eridan looked at the night sky the green and red moons reflecting in his violet eyes as they filled with tears. Another crush, gone from his life. Taken, again by that asshole Sollux Captor. First Feferi, and now (y/n). Eridan hung his head and let out a strangled sob, his body racking almost painfully. The waves crashing against the shore didn't hide the hideous sounds as well as he had hoped. He hated this weakness of his.

He cursed God and any other being responsible for his hopeless life. He was living in a void of the same cycle. Fall in love, have the love taken from him, heartbreak, pain, and a failed suicide attempt. This time it was more painful than with Feferi.

Sollux just couldn't control himself around the people Eridan liked, could he? The first time Eridan tried to commit suicide he had tried to drown himself.

It took him half an hour before he realised he was a sea dweller and that shamed him to the bone. Then, his next love appeared. Concerned and prepared to do CPR, (he/she) looked down at him while he looked at the damp sand he was sitting on. He shivered slightly in the cold night air remembering the first meeting of the two.

This brought up the painful memory of going to see (y/n) to confess his eternal love to (him/her) and seeing that idiotic, bee fanatic practically licking (his/her) lungs. The two were sucking face like they were going to die in the next hour. Tears had flung themselves down his pale cheeks as he fled the scene. Those were the events leading up to the present.

A cloudburst brought Eridan from his heart wrenching thoughts. Eridan didn't mind the rain. What was a little bit of water going to do to him, a sea-dweller? He sat out in the downpour continuing to reflect on how his life had been an abyss of lonliness. How no one would approach him. Was it because he was a sea-dweller? Was it the fins on his body? The way he dressed and acted? A sudden surge of anger burst throughout his cells. What was wrong with him?! He stood abruptly and marched to his hive.

Slamming the door as he walked in, he grabbed some scissors and some painkillers. On his way to the stairs he stopped and looked down at the painkiller bottle in hia hand. He growled at himself and threw the bottle over his shoulder before walking his own green mile. He stomped up the stairs, his bloodstained cloak almost floating behind him. He roughly pushed open the door to his room and sat down at his desk, looking into the violet decorated mirror. He snarled at the fins on his ears.

He took a deep breath and brought the scissors up and quickly cut one of them off. He bit his knuckles in agony and let out a muffled scream.

Blood spurted from the open wounds and stained the cloak. Tears flowed from his eyes as he  screamed harder when he cut off the other ears gill. The door downstairs was opened and an alarmed gasp resounded as the uninvited guest heard the shrill shrieks of the delirious, despaired sea-dweller from upstairs. Eridan couldn't hear the paniced footsteps flying up the stairs.

Eridan gripped the gill on his right arm with his teeth and readied himself to rip it off. His bedroom door was almost ripped off its hinges with the power at which (y/n) opened it. Just as (he/she) saw Eridan, a horrendous ripping sound split the air like a knife to butter. Eridans jaw stayed clamped on the limp fin as he let out more muffled screams as he looked at the (girl/boy) in the doorway. His violet eyes widened in shock. No, this wasn't supposed to happen. No, no, no! (He/she) wasn't supposed to see this. Eridans eye sight went quite blurry due to the bloodloss and he collapsed on the floor, landing in an awkward position.

(Y/n) rushed to his side.
"Come on, we'll get you some help Eridan! Stay with me, come on God damn it! Focus on my face. Stay calm, I'm calling an ambulance right now." The (boy/girl) called an ambulance and tried to keep Eridan concious. The ambulance arrived around five minutes later as they raced to her Eridan on a stretcher and to the hospital. In the ambulance Eridan flat-lined but the ambulance crew used the defribulator to bring him back. At the hospital (y/n) was forced to stay outside the ampitheatre while they worked to save Eridan's life. (Y/n) was asleep when they transfered him to one of the rooms and hooked up to many different life support machines. Sadly, Eridan didn't have much time. It was incredibly rare for a troll to come to this hospital in the middle of no where. Therefore, the doctors only had human blood which would kill him almost instantly in large doses. 

(Y/n) sat by his bedside, tears poured down (his/her) face. (He/she) had broken up with Sollux, for this to happen?

Eridan stirred in the bed and groaned as he awoke. He pointed to the water on the table which was instantly passed to him.
"Listen... I don't have much time left, I can feel it." His voice was hoarse and husky from the screaming that would haunt (y/n)'s nightmares for the rest of (his/her) life.

"Don't fucking say that! Don't you fucking dare!"
"Shut up and listen." Eridan had never spoken so harshly to (y/n) before so it honestly shocked (him/her).
"Now that you are quiet, I wanted to tell you that I'm flushed for you. I'm not going to beat around the bush because if I do, I'll die before it's said. You are the most beautiful person that has ever blessed my life. You have literally just seen me at my worst and here you are grasping my hand like a life-line. I truly care for you and I don't care if you love Sollux, I just wanted you to know." The (girl/boy) was shocked once again into silence. Eridans heart moniter started to beep a bit faster and he grimaced in pain and brought his uninjured arm over his heart.
"Eridan? Eridan, stop! This isn't funny! Eridan? Eridan! I'm flushed for you too, you can't die on me now!"

Eridan smiled at (y/n) and kissed (his/her) hand before flat-lining with a content smile on his face.Doctors and nurses piled in trying to save him but they couldn't bring him back.

Eridan Ampora was dead, his flush crush, distraught and depressed, continued to exist, but not live.
