#WHOS UP FOR LUCILITH WEEK

[mistystarshine]

Alright gang! Help me choose which fic idea I'm going to be writing once I finish one of my many, many current projects.

Road Trip AU: In the aftermath of the hotel battle, an unknown force drops Charlie, Vaggie, Lucifer, Lilith, Adam, Lute, and Alastor in Texas, powerless and in human form. There, they discover that they must make their way up to rural Canada if they hope to return to their respective places. During their quest, they face complications in the form of their interpersonal relationships, their true forms slowly bleeding through (without the accompanying powers), and a veritable web of secrets.

Note: This is the least plot-heavy option of the three. It is primarily slice of life, comedy, and character development. Crack treated seriously, basically. Ships are Chaggie, Guitarspear, and Lucilith, except the last two are both experiencing unspeakable drama.

Time Loop AU: One week after the hotel battle, Lute comes down and slaughters everyone in a vengeful rampage before dying herslef. In her final moments, Charlie wishes to save her friends. And then she wakes up in the middle of the hotel battle. Caught in a week long time loop, she sets out on a quest to get all of her friends. However, her plan goes awry Adam is also stuck in the loop and believes that it will break when he successfully destroys the hotel and returns to Heaven as an angel, defying the damnation he faced the first go around. Both are made to face a brutal reality; the only person that the loop cares about is Lute, and it will not stop until she is saved in both meanings of the word.

Note: This fic would have background Guitarspear and Chaggie, but a primary focus on a slow-burn friendship between Charlie and Adam and Lute character study. It would be built around the five stages of grief, with bargaining being from Adam's PoV and the other four being from Charlie's.

Hadestown AU: Charlie turns to magic in a desperate attempt to find out what happened to her mother. When her spell goes awry, she and her friends find themselves transported to a very different version of Hell. Suddenly, they are all indentured workers in a massive mining town ruled by Lucifer while Lilith spends half her time in Heaven and half with him. As their relationship falls apart, so the does balance of the world around them. Charlie quickly recognizes this as the story of Hadestown and discovers that unless she and her friends can fix her parent's relationship and win a happy ending for Orpheous and Euridyce before the story runs out, they will lose their memories and be trapped in the story forever. However, not only do the people they must save believe this world to be real, but fixing one of the world's oldest tragedies becomes significantly harder when instead of getting Cherri and Pentious like they were expecting, they end up with Lute as their murderous Orpheous and Adam as a wretched Eurydice.

Note: I would write this story in such a way that it can be read with absolutely no prior knowledge of Hadestown. It would not be a direct copy of Hadestown, but rather a mix of the story and a mirror of actual events as they were occurring prior to Charlie's spell. Charlie would hear the melodies from the musical in the background at various intervals, effectively serving as a countdown until time runs out. This fic would be posted anonymously so that people who haven't seen this poll can't look at my other fics and immediately know that Orpheous and Euridyce are going to be Lute and Adam.

Lucilith Week 1/7 [Flying, setting: Eden/Earth]:

Reluctant lilac eyes skipped over the grass blades her bare toes had passed as she felt the balls of her feet lift from the gradual vertical pull on her wrists. After spending the past couple of days on the precipice of begging Lucifer to lift her to the nearest cloud to touch it, you would think she'd be completely over the moon to have her request heeded. The fact that she was having doubts was as laughable as the tears she still spilled at night as she remembered that the familiar heap of brown hair would never warm the crook of her neck again. For someone who had been so vocal in her reckless declarations of her intentions, Lilith was still someone who wasn't fully equipped to proudly face the brunt of her consequences.

Besides, she'd fallen from a tree before. Who's to say that she wouldn't break more than just a leg this time?

"I'm not reconsidering it! It's just that..." her voice trailed off, retreated in the silent house within her throat that had grown uncharacteristically shy when he relented to lift her. She'd gotten so used to be denied that being listened to without having to further justify herself in a neverending squabble made her wonder whether she sought the familiarity of having arguments as opposed to obtaining the object of her desired outcome. The realization alone made her eyes squint beneath her furrowed brows.

What is wrong with me? I want this!

Her wrists shifted in his grip as her palms turned to wrap her fingers around his own wrists, the human's eyes raising to meet the angel's with a hunger burning for adventure. All fears and doubts vanished as a tiny little mischievous smirk quirked at the side of her mouth.

"Don't drop me."

It wasn’t that Lucifer thought he couldn’t carry her — Nor did he think her dream her .. Desire foolish no in fact he found it remarkable and natural even , all things longed for the sky .. had he been created without wings he still would long for the sky , for the clouds for the Stars;

No he had only been reluctant due to his fear of her getting hurt he had remembered the report of Lilith falling from a tree.. it had taken his brothers holding him back to keep from leaving to Eden and checking in on her before he could even finish reading the report . — it had reminded him that these .. Humans as they were called were fragile .. so fragile .

As he lifted her into the air by her wrist he could feel those gentle bones and that delicate pulse Underneath soft skin.. it worries him how little it might take to have her taken from him.. surely if creatures past a certain life span can be taken by his brother .. would the same apply to Humans?

And yet . She was strong .. so strong , stronger then him somedays he could not deny her request any longer .

So taking her wrists he lifted her up securely , “only a fool would drop a creature as lovely as you, “ he told her with his own mischievous grin .

He unfurled his wings , bright white and sunlit gold against a blue sky and lifted them both up with ease , letting her feet slowly skim the grass more before moving so she would be held more securely in his arms; he flew up into the air towards the nearest white soft cloud riding the gentle updraft with ease .

“I’d take you to the stars if I could .” He told her .
