To be honest, I certainly have more lyrical parts of this book written or half-written, but right now I am making fun of what my book notes look like when I attempt to type them up too soon after I've woken up by imagining a character with a hangover attempting to text Mephistopheles.

Psssst if you want some more fic, I have some on my Ao3. I’m cheshireArcher.

👀 As an 8+ year Faustopheles enjoyer, I am eating very well right now, haha.

[ghostpoetics]

It's a very interesting take on the Faust myth for sure, so I hope you both enjoy!

Yeah. :) He was a silly guy.

Hey, The Master and Margarita, love that book! Scout is very cute! I had a Scout, but he was orange and white. And yes! That is Lucifer to me.

Reading through The Saint of Heartbreak and getting Feelings.

I love black cats! I feel like Mephistopheles’ demeanor in Goethe is very cat-like. I have always imagined Lucifer as one of those pampered, long-haired white cats.

Yes, I am especially partial to Meph as labradoodle!

Someone else has suggested a dachshund. I can see the vision.

Me personally, I write my Faustopheles with like 80% Goethe and 20% Marlowe, but I love Marlowe. Faustopheles slash is never in vain.
