This is spoilers for chapter 37 but like when Angel got bit and if lucifer hadn't walked in when he did and Angel died, what would Husk have done?? It eats at me, I gotta knowwww (you don't have to answer tho! I'm just curious)

If Lucifer hadn't shown up, Husk would've shot Angel. It would've been hard. He would've been struggling to keep it together, because he knows he needs to get Charlie out, but he can't just...leave Angel there like that. Not after everything Angel sacrificed for them. Not when he was the only reason that Husk was standing there in the first place.

Staring at the body and grappling with the fact that he had to do it, but it doesn't change the fact that it was Angel. Until it wouldn't have been.

No doubt Charlie was still in the locker, hands clamped over her ears, and completely and utterly aware of what was going on. Even if Husk wouldn't let her see it.

So, he'd go to the locker. He'd rip up some strip of cloth, it didn't matter where it come from, and wrap it around Charlie's eyes. He'd tell her to wait just a little longer and then they'd go. They'd go find her dad.

Charlie would be sobbing. Tears streaking down the gore and dirt on her face. Lip quivering and chest heaving while she failed to keep herself put together, "W-what about Angel?"

"I ain't leavin' him, kid," Husk would promise, because he couldn't do that to Angel. It didn't matter what sort of danger they might be in or how fucking tired he was or how distraught Charlie was, Angel deserved better than being left to rot where no one would ever find him. And, if they did, they wouldn't know him. Wouldn't know everything he did for them.

It'd take some digging around, but he'd find a tarp, and he'd go and ever-so-gently go to wrap Angel in it. He'd spare some water to clean him up, roll him onto his back and make sure his face wasn't a mess. He'd hate that. So, Husk would make him presentable. As presentable as Husk could when he'd blown out a chunk of his head, at least. It wasn't much, but that'd never been his forteit. He barely bothered to shave half the time...

There were still tears behind him, but they were slowing down. Replaced by miserable hiccups and whimpers. It was funny how they echoed and how the echo sounded deeper. Almost like himself.

He'd wipe his cheeks on his sleeve and roll up the tarp. Then he'd take Angel into his arms and tell Charlie she could take the blindfold off. She'd take one look at the unmoving bundle in his arms and sob anew and he'd tell her that he knew it was hard, but it was time to go. They couldn't stay any longer and they still had to get her back to her family.

The map they'd been given had been studied thoroughly enough that Husk just started moving. He wouldn't stop until they reached an exit that spit them out outside of Boston's walls. It wasn't where they were meant to go, but he had a job to do first.

There weren't many pretty places to put Angel to rest, but Husk would find a tree, and lay down the tarp. He didn't have a shovel, so he'd go looking, and then he'd dig.

He'd dig and he'd dig and he'd dig and he'd pretend not to notice when his vision got blurry or when Charlie went off to pick wild flowers.

In the end, it would be a shallow grave. Husk couldn't make it go any deeper and he half-expected Angel's corpse to jolt with a laugh, but it didn't. He was still. So very, very still.

They'd lay him to rest there and Husk would cover him up. Charlie would decorate the fresh mound with flowers and whisper a faint good-bye to Angel. She'd say thank you. She'd say she was sorry. She'd say he was family. She'd say that she loved him.

Husk's knees would buckle and he'd hug Charlie tight while the two of them grieved. He'd find somewhere for them to camp for the night after and go back to the grave. He'd scream. He'd curse the world. Curse himself. He'd take the gun that had taken Angel's life, his Angel's life, and throw it hard against the tree. He'd fall to his knees and sob and beg and plead. Eventually, he'd go silent, and tiny arms would wrap around him in a hug. Charlie's hand would slip into his own and she'd guide him back to camp. She'd tell him it was okay to cry.

She'd say it was okay to miss him. She missed him too. She knew Husk had loved Angel. She loved him too.

Charlie would tuck up close to Husk and he'd hold her through the night. Neither of them would sleep. Occasionally, one would sniffle. They were both disasters come morning.

They'd pack up in silence, but Husk would go back to the tree with a knife. He carved out Angel's name. Painstakingly adding that he had died brave. He'd been a hero. A father-figure. A lover. Better than anyone had really deserved.

Behind him, Charlie watched, and, when he was done, she held out a hand, and he would take it.

Together, they would head back into the tunnels, and follow the map to the Boston entrance. And, when it lead directly into the Magne manor, Husk and Charlie would make sure that the Mange's would commemorate the real reason that they'd made it to Boston. In some way, Angel's memory would live on.

Charlie would grow up with faint memories of Angel. Husk would never forget.

And when his time came? You'd better believe that the first soul Husk went looking for was his Angel.

Hello!! Congrats on the FanX plans, that sounds so fun!!! You write Lucifer so well, I can for sure imagine you killing it cosplaying him.

Kinda vague question I’ve been curious about. Would Adam & Lute feel any sort of care/obligation towards baby-Vaggie? Or is it more of a babysitting job for them?

Awe thank you! I'm excited :3c I'll probably post pics from the con once all's said and done ^-^

The answer is kind of yes and no?

I think it's safe to say that Adam does feel obligated for Vaggie and isn't trying to like actively put her in danger or get rid of her at any point. He's an asshole sometimes, but he's the more 'kid-friendly' of the two (ironic, but true).

Lute is a more complicated case, but she's just not a fan of kids in general. She's not overtly cruel to Vaggie by any means and Vaggie knows she can go to Lute for help (ie the scene where Angel gets attacked by Val in Vegas), but if Lute could hand Vaggie off to someone else she would. Sticking with Adam is more important to her than not being around Vaggie, though, so she sucks it up to do her job.

Since a few people asked for it, I added Charlie's POV that was originally slated to be Chapter 40, but got cut out because it just didn't fit with the flow I was going for. Enjoy :)

Hey all! Wanted to make a small post bc it's been a minute since I've updated (oops). This past month has been crazy busy and I just got back from a trip. Hopefully I can get something out in the next week or two but this chapter is also kicking my ass because it's kind of the bridge between "getting to boston" and "everything that's going to happen in boston". I've toyed with a few different versions of it, haven't fully settled on which idea I like best, but I have been working on it!

There are a few asks/comments/submissions that I haven't gotten around to yet. I promise, I've seen them, I appreciate them, I will respond, but, like I said: crazy past month.

Thanks for all of your patience! I'm planning on going through asks and the like sometime this week once I get through some ttrpgs and also work lol.

TLDR: I am very tired, update will be out before the end of August. Ty for waiting <3

Spoilers for At the End of Extinction by @keithsangstyass !!

More doodles because yes

[at-the-end-of-extinction-fic]

Because I love him and I have to know, I know you mentioned Angel’s family, but do they still work with the mob? (If this is plot blocked, no worries but I’m super curious to know more about them before and after the outbreak)

Angel's family does have a pretty big role in things, but if they were to show up it probably wouldn't be until the sequel. What I can say is that in this universe, Angel's dad was a big time politician before the end, but majorly corrupt. I want to save some of the finer points for when I write out Angel's backstory prior to the events of "At the End of Extinction" which will probably come out once the original storyline's completed ^-^

Ty for the ask!!!

The fluffy cute-scene-craving beast that resides in my brain wants to know: Will we be seeing any of Charlie’s cat, Keekee? 👉👈

Not gonna lie, I did not think about Keekee, but absolutely, yes, and I'm sure Razzle and Dazzle will show up too ^-^
