😇✨ Sugar Daddy Lucifer Morningstar X Gender Neutral Sugar Baby Reader ✨😇

SUMMARY: you're the king of Hell’s favorite influencer and he wants to make it very clear how much he appreciates you and loves your content, thus starting a transactional relationship between the two of you that slowly turns into something more.

WARNING: light stalker stuff going on for a little bit lol ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌ also some sugar baby catching feelings for sugar daddy nonsense

(also- i'm using the terms "sugar daddy" and "sugar baby" pretty loosely, and there are no sexual transactions in this story)

NOTE: I keep going back and forth between saying “livestream” and “video,” so just assume that in the story y/n mainly does livestreams and uploads them as videos later.

•You started out as a humble influencer in Hell.

•What you didn't know is that you happened to be the favorite influencer of THE king of Hell Lucifer himself.

•I personally headcanon that when this man finds something he likes, he REALLY obsesses over it.

•I can imagine him laying in bed with a cozy blanket and a snack, kicking his knees while watching your latest upload.

•Not gonna lie Luci got kinda stalker-ish in order to find you and know you in person.

•He is the king after all, so therefore he has ways to find and keep track of his people.

•It started as him sending you money anonymously as a way to give his appreciation to his favorite content creator.

•You'd sometimes get small donations here and there from different people, but you definitely noticed the big donations you'd consistently get. Even though they were all anonymous, you assumed they were all from the same person because it was usually always an absurd amount of money to donate to an influencer.

•While livestreaming one day you mentioned that you wanted to find out who this anonymous donor was and somehow do something special to thank them.

•Lucifer NEVER misses one of your livestreams and felt extra fanboyish thinking about his fav influencer doing something special specifically for him.

•He knew he couldn't just message you and say “I'm your anonymous donor” because he didn't have a public account. If he were to message with his anonymous account saying that he's the king of Hell you'd obviously think he was lying.

•HERE is where his stalker era starts. 💀

•Luci comes up with this convoluted plan that actually somehow ends up working exactly the way he wanted.

•He happens to “find” you at a place he knew is your favorite café just outside of Cannibal Town.

•He pretends to just be casually walking by (well, as “casual” as the king of Hell can be)

”Oh hey! I've seen a few of your videos, I like your content!”

•You're absolutely baffled that the man in front of you praising your content is Lucifer himself.

•Lucifer invites himself to sit down with you, and how could you possibly refuse.

(He knows using his status to get what he wants is a lil problematic, but he easily pushes any guilt aside cuz he gets to be in your presence. He honestly wonders why he hadn't done this sooner.)

•He uses this opportunity to ask you a bunch of questions he's always wanted to ask, as if this were his personal Q&A with you. You happily answer his questions and even ask your own, eager to get to know Lucifer.

•Eventually he asks the main question that'll set his plan into place.

“Have you ever done any collabs?”

Of course he already knows the answer is no.

•”I've never asked anyone to collaborate with me, I'm a little insecure and automatically think they'll say no.”

•”I'm shocked! I'd personally love to be in one of your videos!” He boasts.

•Even though you've been talking for a while now, your brain still hasn't been fully able to compute that you're not only talking to Lucifer Morningstar, he says he enjoys your content, AND he just said he'd like to be in one of your videos.

•”Wha- I'm sure you've got so much more important things to do!”

•”I've got spare time!”

•When he realized he was probably starting to sound desperate, he backed it up a bit;

“I'm not trying to invite myself into one of your videos, but what I am saying is that IF I were one of those people you were to ask then I'd definitely accept your offer!” He twiddled his fingers nervously under the table, his smile never faltering.

•”oH I mean I do want to ask you- I am asking you!” You become just as nervous as Lucifer, fumbling over your words a bit.

•Before you can say anything else he raises from his seat and extends his hand out in agreement. “Sounds good to me!” You quickly stand to take his hand and shake it.

•The two of you calm down a bit and start discussing times and dates, even though Lucifer knows he's just going to accept whatever day you suggest and cancel any plans that he might already have for that day.

•Lucifer's little plot went perfectly.

•The day came when Luci got to feature in a video with his fav influencer.

•The video blew up super quickly, you gained a whole new wave of fame.

•Not only was he in the video with you, but he also got to spend the whole day with you.

•Somewhere along the way he kind of forgot that he was with his fav influencer and started to feel more like he was just hanging with a friend…which, honestly, he hasn't really had a friend in a long time.

•Also- you had noticed that during the stream with Lucifer you didn't get any donations from your special anonymous donor who never missed any of your previous streams.

•THIS MOMENT is where Lucifer knows he could potentially ruin everything with you, but he wants to be honest.

•He tells you that he's the anonymous donor, and that he can prove it with receipts. He admits that he didn't just casually watch your content like he said previously, and that he's actually a super huge fan. He doesn't go into detail about the stalker-ish extent he went to find you though.

•You take a second to process everything.

•I think if it were any other man you'd probably be a bit weirded out. It's definitely mainly because he's the king of Hell, but also he's just so charming that it's kinda hard for you not to be flattered.

•Now the king of Hell is in your phone contacts and you've got a viral video of the two of you together that shows literally everyone that you know him, it all feels so surreal.

•You still get donations from him on your streams, they still say they're anonymous but you know it's him.

•Lucifer calls you ALL THE TIME, usually to talk about absolutely nothing and everything at the same time.

•Suddenly he started showing up at your door with random gifts. Usually things that you mention very briefly on social media.

•Like one day you posted a pic on your story of a cute pair of shoes that you'd like to have, and the next day he's on your doorstep with a shoebox in hand.

•This escalated to him taking you out to dinner quite frequently, and he'd always go out of his way to reserve a special private area or even book out the whole restaurant.

•Then he started inviting you to visit him. Movie nights at his place, or he wants to show you something new he made.

•Eventually it turned into you staying the night at his place sometimes. You'd fall asleep during movie night and he didn't wanna wake you, or your home is just so far away and he didn't wanna let you go home in the dark.

•THEN it became you staying at his place for multiple days in a row, and sometimes it felt like you practically lived with him.

•You’d always ask Lucifer what you could do to repay him for all of the stuff he does for you, and he just replies that your company is enough to satisfy him and when you aren't around he still gets to watch your new videos.

•After getting to know the king of Hell over the span of almost a full year, you've come to realize that he was a pretty lonely man before you met him.

•He almost never talks to his own wife, whom you aren't even sure is his wife anymore. He rarely talks to his daughter, and is terrified of not being a good enough dad to her. Most of his time is spent home alone if he isn't tending to somekind of personal royal business.

•You knew Lucifer meant it when he told you that your company is enough to repay him.

•Somewhere down the line, you've started catching yourself contemplating your feelings for him.

•Don't get me wrong, he's always made you swoon and get flustered. It's really hard not to when a handsome man is literally handing you everything you want on a golden platter.

•There are much more raw moments you have with him, when you're just sitting on the couch together and you start to think about your possible future together.

•You usually end up getting slapped with reality when you remember who it is you're looking at. The king of Hell.

•Being in a relationship with a man of such status could never be in the cards for you. You're aware that you're basically just his sugar baby and that's probably all you'll ever be.

•You were definitely fine with the transactional relationship between the two of you, in fact you enjoyed it.

•Now, with these feelings constantly creeping up on you it made everything so much more complicated, and it made it hard for you to be around him knowing you'll never be anything more to him than a sugar baby.

•Lucifer is a sweet man, but you know there's another side of him that's a powerful king. His wife was an equally powerful queen. You're not enough for him, he just wants someone to keep him company.

•What you don't know is that while you're sitting there on the couch next to him having an inner depressive episode, he's got a box in his pocket that he's waiting for the perfect moment to whip out.

•In the box is a flashy custom engagement ring that he wants everyone to be able to see from a mile away.

•That man wants to make you officially his and he has been trying his hardest to make that VERY clear.

•You're just kinda insecure and don't think high enough of yourself. ಥ⌣ಥ

HIIII MOOTIE MIO DAHLING HOW ARE YOU????? I saw requests are open and while I was watching youtube I had an idea and I wanted to see how this would go, of course if you don’t wanna do this request feel free to decline it but anyways—!

Could I request Lucifer x GN! Reader who’s best friends with Adam? :0 maybe luci gets jealous when they see reader and adam having fun together and all of that and then you can decide what can go on from there?

I might request a Adam version if you don’t mind… but anyways, thank you so much!! :D

𝐥𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐱 𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐦’𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝!𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐜𝐬 ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ-

a/n: hey jax!! sorry i got to this so late, hope you enjoy ^^

proofread: no

tags: adam, hazbin hotel, lucifer morningstar, fanfic, x reader

at first, he's not unaccepting per say, just a bit confused… like why would you want to be friends with someone like that?

but after awhile, he grows to get used to it, still doesn’t quite understand it though :’)

for adam, he will most likely make comments towards lucifer, which can spark something’s here and there but quite honestly, they grew used to eachother

key word: used to eachother — by no means do they like eachother XD

in adam’s opinion, he just thinks you could do better than some low-life depressed duck lover, but if you’re happy, than he’ll try not to judge… as much

ABOUT: Adam

"Call me dickmaster."

-

Adam is named in Genesis and is the first human-being aware of God and the first human soul to enter Heaven. According to Christianity, Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This action introduced death and sin into the world. This sinful nature infected all his descendants, and led humanity to be expelled from the Garden.

After becoming an Archangel, he became the commander of the angelic military force known as Exorcists, and served Heaven as forerunner of the Extermination movement.

Nicknames: The First Man, Sir, Mr. Adam (by Charlie), Buddy (by Lucifer Morningstar) The Original Dick (self-given), Dickmaster (self-given) Species: Archangel, Human (formerly) Gender: Male Age: As old as the Earth Sexuality: Bisexual hc

Occupation: Commander of the Exorcists

Likes: Himself, Ribs, Rock Music, Playing the guitar, Putting his name on things, Pranking people Killing demons, The Extermination, Charlie and Vaggie's relationship, Angel Dust’s video’s (hc), Bragging about himself

Abilities: Angelic power, Flight, Cloud control, immense strength, Enhanced endurance, Conjuration, Portal creation, Light manipulation, Remote viewing, Musical talent, Guitar-playing, Axe proficiency, Ambidextrous, Leadership, Strategic mind, Well-endowed, Annoying people, Voice of command hc.

HEADCANON: -Adam is bisexual, mostly turning his back on women thanks to Luci stealing TWO wives from him. He figures men would appreciate his manhood more, most of the time he gets by by himself…not that he’d admit it. -Adam did not die at the end of season 1, but was saved by Luci on Charlie’s urging.

-Adam is known for his sarcasm, but he uses it as a tool to disarm tense situations. He's surprisingly effective at mediating conflicts between angels, even if his snark annoys his peers. -Despite his tough exterior, Adam has a soft spot for beings that don’t fit in—whether they're angels with unorthodox ideas, wayward souls, or celestial animals. He often takes them under his wing (literally and metaphorically).

-Painter: Adam enjoys painting as a form of self-expression, but he hides his work because he feels it’s too vulnerable a side of himself. His art is surprisingly soft and often depicts scenes of serenity or hope. -Voice of Command: Adam’s voice has a supernatural resonance. When he speaks with intent, his words compel those who hear them, making him an unparalleled leader and strategist.

-Coffee Enthusiast: Adam is obsessed with coffee, particularly the ritual of making it. He insists that no divine being can start their day without a "heavenly brew" and critiques others’ methods harshly. -Nickname Creator: Adam has a habit of giving everyone he meets a sarcastic nickname, which usually highlights their most annoying or endearing trait.

-Collector of Sunglasses: He has an extensive collection of sunglasses, believing they make him look cool and aloof, even though everyone knows he just likes how they reflect his own light. -Adam values free will above all else, believing that humanity’s ability to choose—good or evil—is their greatest gift. He often reflects on how even angels can struggle with choice and consequence.

-Being the first man, Adam has his own tower in Heaven known as the A Tower. For a long time, he kept the whole thing all to himself, but later it became Exorcist headquarters. The top floor is his own, the next floor down is his four main Lieutenants, the next one down houses the eight sub-lieutenants and then several floors of lower ranked exorcists in bunked accommodations and training and exercise rooms. Critically, for Adam, the lobby holds a HeavenBucks coffee and HaloJuice smoothy bar.

-Ambidextrous: Adam plays the guitar with his left hand (dominant hand strums), however, during the court scene in "Welcome to Heaven", Adam plucked a feather off his own wing and used his right hand when writing the list for Charlie. -Adam’s favorite food is ribs.

-Adam watches Angel Dust and his porn videos. This is why he was familiar with who he was when Charlie mentioned him. -Adam has chronic nightmares and as such is afraid to close their eyes.

-Adam hacks their stats in every video game he plays. -Adam often steals lollipops to snack on as he walks through Heaven’s markets. -Adam has low alc tolerance. -Adam has punched a hole in their wall when frustrated.

-HC: Relationships Rivalry with Michael: Adam and Michael have a longstanding rivalry. While Michael is more by-the-book, Adam thrives on improvisation, leading to frequent butting of heads during missions.

Protective of Charlie: Adam has a begrudging fondness for Charlie, seeing her as an embodiment of the hope he thought humanity lost. He might visit her in secret to ensure her safety, though he'd never admit it.

Tension with Lucifer: Adam and Lucifer have a complicated relationship. Adam respects Lucifer's intellect but deeply resents his rebellion. Their rare encounters are filled with cutting remarks and unspoken history.

=Appearance Adam is an Archangel with a human appearance. Most of the time, he wears a mask that appears similar to other Exorcists, though with normal-looking eyes and golden facial expressions. The mask also holds a pair of horns similar to an Exorcist, albeit longer, smoother, and with golden ornamental attachments on the tips.

Under his mask, he is revealed to be a fair-skinned angel with golden-yellow eyes that have dark bags underneath, a stubble-beard on his chin, and slightly messy, short cedar-brown colored hair.

He also has a pair of large and golden wings on his back. In contrast to other angels that have appeared thus far, Adam's halo was bright gold in appearance, and similar to the Exorcists, has two spikes pointing up and down from each other, though these spikes are located at the front of his halo as opposed to the likes of Lute's halo, which has its spikes in the middle, joined by a small dot.

He wears a smooth white and golden robe that appears to have a large 'A' symbol emblazoned on the front. His visible hands are black in appearance, and have gold-tipped spikes on the back of his collar.

=Personality Adam appears very egotistical and unsympathetic. As the leader of his Exorcist army, he took his stance as the Exorcists' head figure very seriously, sending antagonistic threats towards demons and anyone for standing in their way or whoever disobeyed his command, as he did so with Vaggie for refusing to kill a Sinner, cutting her wings, and leaving her in Hell.

He also displays traits of extreme narcissism and chauvinism, believing himself the perfect man due to being the first and claiming he had never made a mistake in his life, since he was the first man to be born on Earth, and he claimed that all the male bloodline came from him. His narcissism was so great that, upon his defeat, he refused to admit how far he had fallen and expressed a god-like complex by proclaiming his enemies should be grateful for him having fathered the beginning of humanity while demanding they worship him for his deeds.

=Abilities Longevity - As told in "Overture", Adam had existed since the creation of the world, meaning he was at least thousands of years old and presumably was unable to die of old age. Flight - Adam had a set of wings that he could use to fly at great speed. He could also remove a feather from his wings to use as a quill pen. Nephokinesis - He could control clouds he creates and make them into steps. Cloud creation - With a flap of his wings, he can create a gust of clouds around him. Immense strength - He was shown to be able to smash a light projector in front of him with brute strength in a moment of rage, and later shatter Alastor's barrier with a single punch. He was also shown to be strong enough to physically overpower Charlie, despite the latter assuming her full demon form. However, Charlie managed to use more of her demonic powers to stop him from punching Lucifer, utterly overpowering him and confusing him, indicating that he is only stronger than Charlie if she doesn't focus on all her power. Enhanced endurance - Despite having not experienced pain for likely millennia, Adam was able to easily shrug off getting stabbed by Charlie with her trident despite saying that it hurt and he quickly retaliate after being repeatedly punched in the face by Lucifer. Conjuration - Adam could summon objects as he pleased, summoning his guitar and physical Exorcist copies during Hell is Forever, a golden scroll informing Charlie of Heaven's decision to move up the next Extermination, and a piece of golden paper to write on in court. Alteration - Adam also showed he could alter the objects he created, such as when he made his axe guitar larger while fighting Alastor. Pyligenesis - Adam could create portals for other Angels to use, notably to transport himself and his Exorcist army to Hell at the start of each annual extermination. He also opened a portal to banish Charlie and Vaggie back to Hell in "Welcome to Heaven". Angelic power - As an angel, he most likely possessed high angelic power, especially as the leader of the Exorcists. His strength was proven to be immense, surpassing all but the strongest of Demons as he was able to easily overwhelm both Alastor and later Charlie, who had assumed her full demon form, and would have won had Lucifer not interfered. Photokinesis - Adam could fire blasts of holy light strong enough to vaporize Sir Pentious and his war machine in one small blast and slice tall buildings in half. He also showed he could channel his light through his guitar/axe to create powerful blades of light that were able to cut through Alastor's cane and through his fist to destroy demonic barriers. In "Overture", he created a giant bright orb of light above him while he was singing Hell is Forever.

=Skillset Musical talent - He was capable of singing and in "Overture" was implied to have been part of a band. Guitar-playing - Adam was talented at playing the guitar and did so seemingly whenever he could. Axe proficiency - Adam wielded his guitar-axe with amazing skill as he could fight out and seriously wound Alastor during their duel. Leadership - Adam appeared to be a competent and capable leader of the Exorcists, often personally leading them into battle. Additionally, Adam appears to genuinely care for his subordinates. Strategic mind - In both "Overture" and "The Show Must Go On", Adam demonstrates sound and logical thinking both in and out of combat; in the former, Adam waits to begin the next extermination so as not to prematurely reveal his plan, while in the latter, Adam personally attacks high-threat targets to even the odds for his Exorcists, as seen with his battle with Alastor, since he recognized him as the conjurer of the hotel's barrier.

Wish (A Cuphead AU) Chapter One:

*Hey guys, I'm back with the first chapter of the Wish AU with Cuphead. I do want to let you all know that this book is not related to the other books about Cuphead I've published. It's just an AU I like to do for fun. Now, this is published on December 5, 2023. If you like this chapter, don't be afraid to heart it, reblog, and comment. That will be greatly appreciated. Enjoy!*

The streets of Inkwell Isles were filled with citizens shopping and exploring the stores around them. The town came to life from the excited chatters from soulful people. At the corner of the street by the fair, the children sat around the creature in green trench coat and hat.

“Gather around children. Let me tell you a story,” the creature replied, holding his puppets in his tent.

“What’s the story today, Jerry?” the child asked.

“Hush now, child, and I will tell you,” Jerry, the creature, responded. He began using the angel version, blue furred with wings attached to the back and a halo held over the head by a wire. He had the tapestry of the appearance of an angel he was puppeteering.

“Once upon a time, there was an angel named Lucifer.”

The tapestry changed by the snap of the genie’s finger. It transformed to what appeared to be Heaven with Lucifer being surrounded by angels. Lucifer shined the most.

“He was the Morningstar, outshining all the angels of Heaven. But his shine was never enough to fill his desires. He made a wish so dangerous that drove him to his own self-destruction.”

The tapestry shifted to Lucifer appearing like he was jealous of the hands of the Most High creating mortal kind.

“Lucifer wanted the seat of the Most High’s. He wanted to be a god to all the living mortals down on the earth the Creator created.”

The next tapestry appeared next to one that changed, revealing Lucifer waging war with him holding his pitchfork while the Most High clenched his fists with lightning around them.

“He waged war on Heaven, convincing most angels to side with him. Both he and the Creator fought and fought for many days and nights until Lucifer fell off of Heaven with his angels turned into demons now.”

The tapestry shifted to Lucifer falling from Heaven and down into the fires of Hell.

“Their wings stripped off of their backs and their halos crumbled above their heads, tiny glass shards jabbed on top of their heads that became their horns. Lucifer was no longer the Morningstar he used to be. He was now the Devil. He became the ruler of this burning lake of fire called Hell. However, he desired to rule the mortal realm still.”

The next tapestry revealed that Devil crawled out of Hell and towards the mortal realm. The next tapestry moved ahead to reveal the Devil disguising himself as a snake to tempt the first mortal woman ever created to eat the forbidden fruit. Then it showed various stages of the world falling with mortals either turning to their selfish desires such as a brother killing another to be in favor of the Most High, a mortal who built an ark to put all the animals and mortals that was in faith with the Most High, and a half mortal and half son of the Most High dying on the cross.

Then the last tapestry revealed that the Devil was building his kingdom in the isle far from where these events at.

“His rise to the top wasn’t easy, but he decided to built his kingdom on sand. A demon disguised as a man, a king. He anointed himself with oil and ruled the mortals who had been in the kingdom so early on. His name was changed to King Luci.”

The next tapestry showed the Devil as the king meeting King Dice, a die head in a purple tuxedo.

“His man, King Dice, caught the eye of the king a few centuries later. It was one day, he found out about these wishes and desires in human hearts through his husband. Together, they ruled the kingdom, finding ways to gather these wishes and grant them.”

The next tapestry revealed Devil and Dice ruling the kingdom as both kings.

“A system was built now. And more people came over the centuries and settled. These isles the Devil ruled are now known as the Inkwell Isles”

The last tapestry showed a tree off of the shore with the red feline.

“This is where our story begins. This is where we meet one feline who changed the course of history forever,” Jerry concluded his narrative. 

~.~

Cassidy, the red-furred feline with black short hair and a purple dress, was sleeping against the tree with a branch she was sitting on extended to the side. She leaned against the trunk with quiet snores, spending time being under the stars.

What she didn’t know was that her mother, Shayna, approached her. With a soft smile on her face, she climbed up on the branch next to her daughter. She nudged on Cassidy’s arm gently.

“Hey, wake up,” Shayna whispered.

Cassidy groaned awake and fluttered her eyes open to see her mother sitting next to her. “Hi, Mom.”

“Hi,” Shayna responded. “You’re looking up at the stars again, aren’t you?”

Cassidy rubbed her eyes with a yawn. “Yeah.”

“Did you make a wish?”

“Not really,” she said while looking down to see a gravestone on the edge of the cliff.

It had an engraving that said, “Here lies Jack Cat: A father and a husband.”

Shayna frowned and looked at her daughter. “Believe it or not, I miss him too. But you know, you’re going to become of age soon in a few months. Eighteen, to be exact. You get to give your wish to King Luci.”

“Yeah…but I’m not sure if he’ll ever grant it. It might sound like a stupid wish,” Cassidy replied sadly.

Shayna caressed her daughter’s fluffy cheek. “As long as it’s not a bad wish, you’ll be fine.”

Cassidy smiled softly until she jumped to hear the bells ring from the town just down the hill. “Oh shoot! I’m going to be late!” She hopped off of the tree branch and turned to the gravestone to bid it goodbye. “Bye, Dad.”

Shayna followed after her daughter when Cassidy started to run. “Honey, honey, wait! Slow down!”

“Sorry, Mom, I gotta go—”

“Aren’t you forgetting something?” Shayna questioned.

Cassidy stopped for a second and pondered. “Um…”

“Don’t tell me you forgot someone’s birthday?”

Cassidy gasped excitedly, her tail wagging a bit.

Meanwhile, Porkrind, the one-eyed pig, was cleaning around his shop by dusting the shelves full of peculiar objects on them. His skin was pale as if his soul had been sucked out of his body. He sighed deeply when hearing someone sneaking around him.

“Ya know, Jerry, you could’ve just walk into the shop like a normal person,” Porkrind responded, turning to see Jerry, the mysterious person with black fur and red hooked nose, appearing on the other side of the counter.

Jerry pulled something out from within his trench coat and took out the crates. “Here are some special deliveries that a friend told me to give to you on your—”

“Ba-ba-ba,” Porkrind interrupted. “If it’s secret, it’s better to be kept that way.”

“It’s a gift from Shayna and Cassidy.”

“Huh? Why would they—?”

“It’s for your birthday…did you forget?” Jerry asked.

“Of course not,” Porkrind groaned. “Great. Just great. Another year closer to my death.”

“You always say that every year.”

“I meant it every year.”

“You used to be, uh, happier before King Luci took your wish. What happened to you?”

“Because the king doesn’t even bother to grant my wish. For forty years, he hadn’t granted my wish. Why? Is it not good enough for him to grant?”

“I’m sure the king has his reasons.”

“I like to see him come up with one. Tell me, Jerry, since he took your wish, had he granted you any?”

Jerry rubbed his chin. “Nah. Not really. But even if he didn’t grant my wish, it’s alright. I’m content with just where I’m at right now.”

Porkrind sighed. “I wish I can be that content.”

Cassidy and Shayna entered the shop.

“Happy birthday!” Cassidy replied happily, rushing up to the pig and hugging him.

He stumbled back from her jumping on him to hug with a chuckle. “Whoa, whoa, easy there.”

“Did Jerry give you our presents?” Cassidy asked excitedly.

“It’s right here,” Jerry showed the felines.

“You didn’t open it?” Shayna asked the pig.

“Not yet.”

Cassidy hopped excitedly. “Open it. Open it.”

Porkrind huffed a laugh. “Okay, okay, okay.” The pig opened the presents both Cassidy and Shayna gave him. He widened his eye in shock to find a stack of paper for ads around his shop. The papers have drawings of strange objects that look both colorful and realistic.

Shayna smiled softly. “Those are Cassi’s drawings for your shop.”

Cassidy leaned forward. “Since you wanted to expand your business, you can post ads everywhere in Inkwell Isles. I’m sure you’ll get someone’s attention.”

Porkrind smiled softly. “Well, how awfully considerate of you. I might have to consider putting these up.”

“And you get to sell all of your collections,” Shayna responded.

Porkrind smiled softly at them. “That would be lovely…” he yawned a bit. “Not sure how I could if I’m so tired all the time.”

Cassidy frowned to notice him getting sleepy. “Are you okay?”

“Just gettin’ older,” Porkrind answered softly.

Everyone in the shop heard the bells ring from the kingdom.

“Oh shoot! I’m going to be late!” Cassidy gasped in shock. She kissed her mother’s cheek and hugged both Porkrind and Jerry. “I gotta go before I’m late. I love you all!”

“We love you too. Be safe!” Shayna called as her daughter was out of the door.

Jerry sighed happily. “She’s growing up so fast.”

“Too fast I’m afraid,” Porkrind said with a frown.

Jerry and Shayna glanced at Porkrind and lost their smiles.

Shayna decided to change the subject. “C’mon, let me make a birthday breakfast for you.”

“Thanks,” Porkrind responded.

~.~

 Cassidy rushed into the kingdom in the early morning. Entering the plaza full of shops opening up, she started sweat around her head. “I’m late. I’m late—”

“Excuse, miss.”

Cassidy jumped when she heard a voice. It came from a female human with blonde hair and her husband.

“You seem knowledgeable about this place,” the woman began. “We just got here and we’ve been looking for a tourist, but everyone here…looks dead inside. You and the kids seemed to be the only lively ones.”

Cassidy faked a smile. “They probably just woke up. But, um, let me find you guys a tour guide—”

“But we want a tour guide that’s lively like you, dear,” the woman clarified. “Do you mind giving us a tour?”

“Uh…sure. I mean, I would love to give you a tour. I’m sure this will only take a couple of minutes with a song,” Cassidy replied.

“A song?” the woman and her husband responded in confusion.

On cue, the music began to play as Cassidy swayed her hips side to side to the beat of the tambourine instrument played by a random civilian. Then she started to sing beautifully.

“Welcome to the Inkwell Isles!

Come on, there’s so much to show you!”

Cassidy led the couple down the plaza and showed the colors coming to life around them.

“Welcome to the happiest place on Earth.

There’s no other place like the Inkwell Isles.

Your dreams and reality will combine.”

She showed gypsies dancing in the center of the plaza while they were drumming on the tambourines.

Cassidy danced with them while showing the couple. She showed them someone conducting a live performance in the street with a wand.

“You want to be taken to Fantasia?”

She twirled around to a woman with long hair in a tight braid that reached to her heels. She pointed at the girl when singing the line.

“Or have your hair grow longer than Rapunzel?”

She hopped towards a couple of kids in the playground dressed up in space ranger suits.

“Or become a Space Ranger?”

She popped up between the new couple in the plaza and chirped in her melodic voice.

“Well, hey, you’ve came to the right place!”

She twirled around the center as the citizens started to join her and sing along with her.

“‘Cause here in the Inkwell Isles,

You can skip all of your hardships just to be where you want to be.

No more suffering and no more obstacles.

Oh here, in the Inkwell Isles,

It’s impossible to be unhappy with so much magic to see.”

Cassidy sang softly while pointing each citizen she sang to. The more colors came to life, the more the tourists who arrived at the city and watched her in fascination.

“A home for every one of us, and yes, even you.

In the Inkwell Isles.”

The pirate with two peg legs tilted his head. “So, who’s your ruler here?”

Cassidy gleefully smiled. “Well, here, let me introduce you to our kings.”

She guided the tourists to the statue of the king in silver stone shining in the early light in front of the castle.

“We have our ruler called King Luci.

And he built Inkwell Isles all by himself.

With talons and fangs, sharp enough to cut into you!”

The tourists gasped in fear with a wince.

Cassidy had the sudden guilty look from scaring the tourists, faking a smile.

“Wait, no, no, I’m just kidding...but you don’t want to mess with him.

He’s different than us, that’s for sure.”

“He looks like a joke,” the flower with orange petals commented.

“Hey, shut up and listen to her,” the blonde woman scolded the flower.

Cassidy blushed and sang.

“Aww, thanks.

Oh, look over here,

It’s—”

“Cassidy!”

The music paused as Cassidy turned to look at the man with a purple suit and a die for his head. His thin mustache around the top of his lips while arching a brow.

“What are on earth are you doing?”

Cassidy straightened up. “Sorry, your majesty. Just giving a tourists a tour.”

“A tour? Oh-ho-ho, you folks seem to have a fun time. The name’s King Dice, the gamest in the land. I see our maid is giving you all a spectacular tour.” He said the end of the line by showing off his card tricks to them, getting the audience to gasp in fascination when the music started to play.

“Yeah, she seems lively out of—” The blonde woman looked around to find out that everyone was now lively. “Um…nevermind?”

“Well, yes,” the die-headed king responded with a smile. “Everyone here is lively in the Inkwell Isles,”

The music continued as he began to sing.

“Oh, has she forgot to mention once you come here with a wish,

You give it to the king of wishes, my husband?

He’ll take away your burdens and store them away.

So, don’t worry your pretty little heads,

When you got a king to take all your worries away?”

The flower arched a brow. “Uh, that sounds too good to be true.”

“Oh, what a great place to live,” the woman replied to her husband.

“Wait, does it hurt when he takes our wishes?” the pirate questioned.

The king shook his head and sang beautifully.

“No, and you won’t feel a thing once they’re gone.”

The king looked at Cassidy as they both sang together and showed the tourist around the streets of Inkwell Isle.

“‘Cause here in the Inkwell Isles,

You can skip all of your hardships just to be where you want to be.

No suffering and no obstacles.

Oh here, in the Inkwell Isles.

It’s impossible to be unhappy with so much magic to see.”

Cassidy sang beautifully for the last two lines.

“A home for every one of us, and yes, even you.

In the Inkwell Isles.”

The music ended on the softer note while the tourists clapped for Cassidy and King Dice.

“Oh, we’re going to love it here!” The husband replied happily.

“I got so many wishes to make,” the wife said with excitement in her tone.

“Huh, it sounds a bit nifty,” the flower whispered to the pirate.

King Dice shifted his gaze down at Cassidy. “Well, well, I didn’t even notice you have good singing talents. I’m sure you make a great tourist one day.”

She looked away with guilt while following the king back to the castle. “I’m sorry, your majesty. I know that it’s your job to give tours.”

“Oh no, no, it’s fine. I didn’t think there were already many tourists coming into this place so early in the morning,” Dice responded. Once they’re inside of the castle, Dice dropped his pleasantry face and glanced at her. “Now, for the chores at hand.”

He shoved a bucket full of soap water and a sponge onto the feline’s chest. “The king wants the floors cleaned. We’re going to have a special event involving your little tourists friends. Get every corner and every tile on the floor. And since you’re late, you better chop-chop before the king sees you standing idle.”

“Yes, your majesty,” she responded as he walked away.

With a sigh, Cassidy started to scrub the floors throughout the entire kingdom, getting every corner she could find as King Dice instructed her to do. 

~.~

Natalie, the cup girl with brown bubbly hair, baked the last batch of cookies with King Luci’s face on it. King Luci’s face appeared to be a man with a bright blue hair with only a gray streak line. She limped over to the lift, using her crutch to get her there. She opened the wooden door and lifted it up to deliver it to the king in his bedroom. She never had been up there before and, frankly, she didn’t care much to go up there.

“Can I have some of your cookies?”

“AH!” Natalie screeched and punched a random stranger in the face. Although, she realized that it was just a cup boy with a striped red straw bent backwards on the floor.

“Oh golly! I’m so sorry, Cuphead! I didn’t even know it was you who was there,” Natalie exclaimed, helping him up on his feet with a blush on her face.

“I should’ve known better than to sneak up behind ya,” Cuphead responded with a small smile. “Didn’t mean to scare ya.”

“It’s fine. It’s fine,” Natalie responded, her face flustered. “Um, what did you ask before I punch you in the face?”

“Oh, I was just gonna ask if you still have some cookies left over,” Cuphead replied. “But I think the last batch went to the king already.”

“You can have my burned batch.”

“Oooh!” Cuphead perked his head up interested. when she showed him a tray full of burned cookies.

“I know how you like them. Hope you don’t mind—”

Cuphead grabbed one of the cookies and started to chew on it. He gave a thumbs up. “Ten out of ten. As always.”

She blushed and grinned nervously. “Thanks.”

He softly smiled back at her. “No problem.”

She rubbed her arm nervously around him. “So…”

They were interrupted by the door opening, revealing a metal canteen with goggles on his forehead.

“Hey, guys,” the canteen replied.

“What on earth are you doing here? You know you are going to get yourself in trouble with the king again,” Cuphead whispered to Canteen harshly.

“Yeah, yeah, but I came up with a new theory about where the wishes go!” Canteen responded.

“Not your theories again, man,” Cuphead groaned.

“Now here me out,” Canteen replied. “Hear me out. What if the wishes were buried?”

“Buried?” a female voice replied, scaring Cuphead and Natalie.

Natalie threw a punch, but she punched a see-through face. She realized she was punching through a blue ghost chalice, who phased her head away from Natalie’s fist.

“Sorry there, girlie,” Chalice, the blue ghost, replied. She took one of the burned cookies and hovered over the table, focusing on Canteen while turning into her physical form. Now her head was a golden chalice with a black top and an aqua skirt. “So, what do ya mean that our wishes were buried?”

“So, think about it. Have any of you ever seen any wishes around here somewhere in the castle?” Canteen asked his friends.

Cuphead crossed his arms. “There ain’t no wishes over at the stables.”

“Or in the kitchen,” Natalie added.

“Or in the king’s bedroom…unless it’s somehow behind the magical wall that I couldn’t phase through somehow,” Chalice responded.

“Wait, what?!” the kids gasped.

Chalice nodded her head. “Yeah, the king got a secret wall that he usually goes into. I tried to phase through because, you all know, I’m nosey…and…well, I couldn’t.”

“Have you tried to go around and phase through the windows that might lead to the secret room?”

“Yep, tried that. It zapped me before I could even go inside,” Chalice responded to Natalie’s question.

“Huh, a ghost resistant magic I see,” Cuphead replied to himself.

Canteen gained everyone’s attention back. “So, maybe…it’s buried under the castle. It is said that King Luci built this kingdom on sand…right? Well, he could have buried the wishes under the castle and sand…makes it easier to dig.”

Cassidy entered the kitchen, out of breath from work. She widened her eyes to see her friends gathering in the kitchen.

“What are you guys doing?” Cassidy asked her friends.

“Makin’ theories I suppose,” Natalie responded.

“But wishes are special. There ain’t no way he would be keeping ‘em underground,” Cuphead replied.

“Then where would you keep the wishes at?” Chalice asked.

Cuphead shrugged. “A vault…somewhere. I don’t know.”

“RIGHT! YOU CAN BURY A VAULT FULL OF WISHES UNDERNEATH THE CASTLE!! CUPHEAD, YOU ARE A GENUIS!!” Canteen shouted excitedly.

“Huh?” Cuphead uttered.

Cassidy arched a brow. “Did you have a pot full of coffee again?”

Canteen took out an empty pot of coffee from behind his back. “Yeah, but, hey, at least it kept me up all night theorizing about where our wishes go.”

Cassidy tilted her head. “Why would that matter?”

“Why wouldn’t it matter?” Canteen replied. “Like, you have King Luci here taking wishes from you and where do they go? They don’t just disappear into thin air. He just took them and store them away somewhere. He claims to be the wish-granter and had granted wishes before. Like, you know that lady that wished to fly through the skies?”

The kids nodded their heads.

“Didn’t she get transformed into…you know, a blimp?” Chalice replied.

“A humanoid blimp! She’s flew through the skies as the wish granted. So, he kept her soul, but somehow…twisted it into something completely different. All he had to do was shoved her wish back into her chest and Voila! She’s a humanoid blimp.”

“You think she didn’t want to be a blimp?” Natalie questioned.

“It’s not what she asked for,” Canteen responded.

“But she gets to fly,” Cassidy replied.

“Yeah, but not in the way she probably didn’t want,” Canteen added.

“How would you know that?” Chalice questioned.

Canteen sighed. “I’ve just seen the way she’s walking. She ain’t walking good lately—”

“Are you talking about Hilda?” Another voice peered into the conversation from behind Canteen.

Canteen whirled around to see a bowl with freckles. “Bowlboy! Hey, you’ve came just in time since I’m done makin’ another theory.”

“Oh, great,” Bowlboy responded while plastering a smile, his eyes droopy from the lack of sleep.

“How late did you stay up?” Cuphead asked, noticing the bags under the bowl’s eyes.

“D’ya need coffee?” Chalice asked.

Canteen offered his empty coffee pot. “You can refill it.”

Bowlboy shook his head at the offer. “Nah, I’m fine. Uh, I slept pretty early actually. Is it normal to feel drained out after you gave away your wish to the king?”

“I guess,” Natalie responded shyly.

“That reminds me. We all got wishes coming up to give to the king,” Cassidy responded. “What did you guys wish for?”

Natalie looked at Cuphead and blushed, earning a smirk from Cassidy. She shook her head. “Uh, nothing.”

“I wish to be the top dancer! Look, I’ve been practicing!” Chalice replied while tap-dancing in front of the group.

The group awed in fascination.

“Oh! I’m lookin’ to open a mechanic shop,” Canteen responded, taking out a wrench with glee. “I’m already good at fixin’ things. Why not open a shop for it?”

“You should be opening a shop where you just tell your customers all your theories,” Cuphead teased his friend.

“I mean, I can hold a good conversation with them while they wait,” Canteen went along with the joke.

Cuphead chuckled and moved the subject to himself. “Well, I want my own ship to explore the world with. Have you guys ever wonder what’s beyond the Inkwell Isles?”

“No.”

“Not really.”

“That’s really admirable,” Natalie said with a wistful sigh at Cuphead. She blushed and stuttered. “I-I mean, it’s admirable that you want to explore the world.”

Cuphead smiled obliviously. “Thanks.”

Bowlboy sighed. “Well, you guys are going to have to wait for a while to have your wish granted. I mean, I just wished to be part of the king’s army…but I guess that won’t ever come true.”

“Aw, Bowlboy, don’t lose hope,” Chalice responded. “Besides, I’m sure King Luci has his reasons.”

“Reasons he’ll never tell us. Which makes room for more theories and suspicions!” Canteen replied excitedly.

As Chalice and the boys were chatting about the wishes, Cassidy noticed Natalie staring at Cuphead with a goofy smile.

“Why don’t you go and tell him? You don’t have to wish it to tell him how you feel.”

Natalie turned to Cassidy with a blush. “No, I can’t. I mean, what if he says no?”

“You’ll never know until you tell him right. You know that wishes can’t make a person fall in love—”

“I know, I know. I’m not even wishing for that. I just wish…I was brave…like you.”

“Like me?”

“Yeah, you see a guy you like and you went for it—”

“Not really—”

“Don’t sell yourself short.”

“Well, last time I went to a guy I think I like and dated him, it didn’t work out,” Cassidy responded while looking at Bowlboy to refer to him.

Bowlboy took a moment to glance at Cassidy and then look away with a soft grunt.

“He must be mad at me. I just didn’t have feelings for him. I didn’t want to keep pretending and be honest with him. I guess, being honest is a bad thing.”

“Hey, just because you and Bowlboy didn’t work out, that didn’t mean that it’s the end of the world. Besides, you gotta kiss many frogs to find your Prince Charming.”

“Says the one who hasn’t approached her potential Prince Charming yet.”

Natalie blushed madly. “Hey, I’m talking about you—”

The door opened and the room fell silent. The kids glanced up to see the other king in a purple robe, a gold crown, and appearing like a man with red hair.

“What are you all doing lollygagging? Chop-chop! We have tourists today! We need to make a ceremony to welcome them!” the king responded impatiently until he noticed Canteen. “Wait, you’re not supposed to be here—”

Canteen ran and crashed through the window. He fell and screamed out his words on the way down. “I’LL SEE YOU GUYS TOMORROW!!!”

Cuphead and Bowlboy looked out of the window to see Canteen landing on the pile of hay and scurrying out of it.

“Well, at least he landed on the pile of hay,” Cuphead replied to Bowlboy, who nodded his head in agreement.

“Cuphead, Bowlboy! You’re supposed to tend to the stables,” King Luci ordered.

“Alright, alright, your Majesty. We’re on our way,” Cuphead responded. “C’mon, Bowls, we got work to do.”

Bowlboy nodded his head sadly in agreement.

They exited out of the kitchen while Cuphead waved Natalie and Cassidy goodbye.

“You,” King Luci pointed to Natalie. “Get cooking. And you?”

Cassidy shrank down nervously.

“Come with me,” King Luci replied.

Cassidy nodded her head obediently and bid Natalie goodbye. She followed the king out of the kitchen.

~.~

 The king and Cassidy stepped out of the kitchen.

“You know, since King Dice has been reporting all the great efforts you made of keeping the castle spotless and giving new tourists a grand welcome, there is one special favor I need you to do for me,” King Luci replied to Cassidy.

“Of course. What do you need me to do?” Cassidy asked.

King Luci led her up the stairs and towards his room. “I need you to clean my study. I don’t trust many servants in this castle. Including you. But, since Dice has spoke highly of you and trusts you, I thought I would let you do the cleaning instead of me. Now, here are a few rules when it comes to cleaning my study.” He pushed the doors opened and guided her through his spotless room full of red colored floors and bed sheets, and velvet curtains on one side of the room.

King Luci opened the velvet curtains to reveal a wall reflecting both the maid and the king. “Rule number one, you do not touch anything.”

He used his hand to open the wall magically. The wall slid to the left, revealing the king’s study that Chalice was talking about. Cassidy gasped in fascination to see all the potions and the neat inventions to help create potions.

He moved objects around telepathetically and placed them on the empty shelves high up so that she could clean the dusty counters properly. “Rule number two, don’t drink the potions. Unless you have a wish to die, then by all means drink them.”

She looked out the window to see the entire city of Inkwell Isles below them. Her smile brightened when she looked out to the beautiful city.

He used his mind powers to move the books to the shelves. “Rule number three, and this is the most important of them all.”

She glanced up at the king, who gave her a firm stare.

“Whatever you do, even when you are cleaning it, don’t ever open the black door,” he replied while pointing at the black door at the corner of the room. “Unless you have a death wish, I suggest you to never go through the door. Do you get all of these rules?”

Cassidy nodded her head. “Yes, your Majesty.”

“Good. Now, I trust King Dice more than I trust you. If he speaks highly of you, that means you must have some value. Oh, and if you ever want to get out, there’s a lift for you to take since you don’t have the magic to open the door. Now get to it,” King Luci demanded while walking out of the room, the door closing behind him.

Cassidy sighed and looked around the study. She glanced up at the ceiling to notice nothing up there. Without wasting anymore time, she began cleaning the dusty counter with a rag from her pocket.

It was only thirty minutes later of deep cleaning the king’s study as she finally got to the black door. She wiped the dust off of the black door, intriguing her curiosity. But she should know better than to be—

Her thoughts interrupted when the door opened automatically. She yelped and stepped back in fear, feeling nothing than heat coming from down the stairs. The smell of brimstone infiltrated her nose. Now her curiosity grew stronger.

“Unless you have a death wish, I suggest you never go through the door.”

Cassidy’s ears twitched and looked around the king’s study. She could hear screaming from below. Her heart raced. Someone might be in trouble down there. She rushed down the stairs without thinking about it. Down the stairs, the heat really started to make her sweat. She might as well be in an oven since the heat was rising the more she stepped down the stairs.

Cassidy finally made it to the bottom of the stairs, but she could see that there were…demons? Demons were walking through the pathways of this strange place. She really wasn’t supposed to be down there. Now many questions filled her head, but she snuck through the new place. She kept hearing screams and went towards the sound, realizing that it came from the lake of fire. She saw many people burning in the lake, trying to crawl out but the demons always pushed back into the fire.

For the first time, she felt nothing but fear. She wanted to jump in and help them out of the lake fire, but what if they dragged her in there with them? She was too deep to go back to the surface. She glanced up and noticed a glimmering silver giant vault at the other side of the lake of fire.

She snuck around the lake and approached the vault. Cassidy opened the vault and it swung open. It revealed the souls of all the people in the Inkwell Isles who had given wishes to King Luci. She noticed Porkrind’s soul along with her mother’s and Jerry’s. She reached for them and noticed an orb within their souls. She looked into them and saw that her mother was singing her heart out, Jerry was entertaining a group of kids with his shows, and Porkrind was having more customers at his shop.

She glanced up to see her father’s soul, who was also a red-feline like her and her mother.

“Dad?” Cassidy recognized, feeling tears edging out of her eyes. She started to breathe heavily. Unbeknownst to her, a tall figure with bigger horns loomed over her.

“So, you do have a death wish,” a familiar voice growled.

Cassidy whirled around and gasped to find the king in his true form. A charcoal-furred demon with glowing ruby eyes and sharp fangs gritted together.

“You’ve been stealing their souls,” Cassidy said with her voice croaked.

The demon king yanked the red feline out of the soul vault and shut the door. She started to tremble in fear for her life.

“I told you to not open that door!” the demon king growled, sharpening his talons in a ready to strike her.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” she cried, her body trembling more. “Please, I won’t tell anyone! I swear!”

“You swear?”

“Yes! I won’t say a word to anyone about it! Not even to my family and my friends! Please! Don’t kill me!”

“How pitiful. Look at you. So small and begging for your life.”

She closed her eyes, awaiting her death until she heard a fist pounding against the wall. She opened her eyelids to see the demon’s fist pounding on the wall.

“Consider this mercy,” the demon king growled. “But you are not cleaning my study again. And you won’t say a word to anyone about this. If you do, you won’t be the only one who suffers. I have your family’s souls…I’m sure you don’t want to know what I will do to them if you tell anyone in your family. And as for your little group of friends, I’ll have to take their wishes sooner than when they’ve become of age. Am I understood?”

She nodded her head fearfully.

“Good. Now why don’t we get you cleaned? Don’t want to walk around the ceremony smelling like brimstone, now do we?”

Cassidy nodded her head again in agreement this time, but her eyes were stuck wide in fear. 

~.~

Cassidy had to convince herself that she was okay, but she had a terrible poker face.

She smelled like lavender after the demon king offered her a shower to hide away any suspicious smells of brimstone. Throughout the ceremony within the golden ballroom of the castle, she tried to fake a smile.

Her friends, who were dressed nice for this occasion like her, noticed the looks on her face. She should’ve known better than to hide anything from them.

Natalie leaned over to Cassidy. “What’s going on, girl? You’re sweating all over the place.”

“I-I’m fine. Just a bit nervous about the ceremony,” Cassidy replied.

Chalice joined in. “You do realize that we only got a few months until we give our wishes to King Luci.”

Cassidy nodded her head. “Yeah, I know. Uh, can’t wait.”

She could herself screaming ‘no’ to them in her head. They didn’t know. They shouldn’t know. But how long could she keep her mouth shut from them? She always tell everything to them. But now there was a reason to keep this from them. She did notice the King Dice had been keeping a special eye on her, gesturing her to smile. King Dice might have known about what his husband really was.

The feline felt sick to her stomach. She looked to notice her mother there with Porkrind and Jerry, looking paler after she realized why they had been pale. Even Bowlboy was pale. His soul might have been taken into that vault too.

“Cassidy,” Natalie’s voice finally snapped her out of her thoughts.

She turned her head sharply to look at her friend.

“You know you can tell me anything, right?” Natalie whispered to the feline.

Cassidy faked a smile. “Everything is fine, Nat. Everything is just fine.”

Natalie didn’t seem convinced, but didn’t push further.

The lights dimmed in the ballroom as the king appeared on stage with a grand smile.

“Welcome, my fellow subjects! I see some new colorful faces here! My name is King Luci. I’m sure you’ve met my wonderful husband, King Dice! I hope you’re getting comfortable here, since this is the happiest place on earth! If any of you have a wish, I be happy to take them from your hands!”

The newly-wed couple that Cassidy gave a tour a while ago came up to the stage excitedly.

“We wish to have a theater!” The blonde woman replied excitedly.

The husband nodded happily in agreement.

“You both have the same wish? Now, isn’t that interesting? Here, let me take them,” King Luci replied, holding his hands out for the couple to grab. The couple grabbed King Luci’s hands respectively. “Now, wish this desire with all of your hearts and souls.”

They did just that…in fact, their souls were being sucked out of them in the orb that was holding their wishes. Once their souls were in the dim blue orbs, the couple’s bodies turned pale.

“Now, how does that feel?” King Luci replied.

“I don’t feel a thing,” the blonde wife responded.

Cassidy witnessed this, silencing her sobs that wanted to spill forth so bad.

Porkrind looked through the crowd to find Cassidy on the verge of breaking down crying, looking at her in concern.

Lucian Bane's Backstory:

Lucian was born in hell because of his mother, Nyx. (Who is the Demon/God of: Darkness/Abyss) She was once married to Chaos, the creator and the destorier. She birthed Lucian and his twin brother Nova. Nova became born angel fronting. And second form demon. Lucian was born fronting as a demon. The second fronting was angel. Lucian doesn't get along with the angels as much as the demons. The angels find him an obamnation and tainted. That he is bad blood. And he should be killed. But the demons don't care as much. But they do ignore him depending on the demon.

Lucian most of his life played alone and did his own thing. Being a hellborn also means watching others be killed by other demons or angels. It was annoying and very upsetting. He hated how it was. But probably at that age couldn't really change anyone's mind. So he kept it to himself.

As Lucian grew up learning how Heaven and Hell actually was. He didn't trust anyone. Not even his mother's new husband. Which was whatever. He could take care of himself as he always did. Just because he lived with his mother and her servants caring for him. Doesn't mean he can't do anything on his own. And take care of his business alone. He didn't ask for help. At least outloud. He was alone a lot. And that made him realize no one can hurt him that way.

Lucian did end uk making mistakes. Falling into an angel's trap. His name is Castiel. Who has male skin, crimson red eyes, and long blaxk hair to his shoulders. He was an Arch Angel. Who has with black wings with red tips/ombre. Who seeked out Lucian for years. He made a deal with him. And now his soul belongs to Castiel. He would have to go to heaven and help Castiel make money there and in hell. It was dirty and really bad.

Jay Morningstar

Type of being: stardust

Creators: An Aziraphale and Crowley

Family:

Technical Grandmother : The God Almighty

Dad: Lucifer Morningstar Mom: Chloe decker

Uncles: Death, Luci, Gabriel

Best demon(uncle gabe's spouse): Beelzebub

Aunts: Maze

Siblings:

Eric, Eddie, Abby, Violet, Angel,Echo, Adam, Alistair, Hive, Nevra, Genius, Trixie

The chicken children:

49 ish of them- they live with the metatron.

At the beginning of it all, well before the beginning more rather a version of Aziraphale and a version of Crowley created the star factory in which earth would sit- little did they know the leftover stardust at that point had slight consciousness attempting to cry out for the pair of angels as they left.

As time pushed forward and ages passed, the stardust soon formed a figure that one day fell to earth 5 years before the being 'Jay' emerged.

The being 'Jay' emerged looking at the age of 5, however they met Mother they love Mother and Mother loved them, right?

Mother hurts..Mother hates…Mother leaves scars…Jay doesn't like any name that hints they have a Mother.

11 ish years later, they have a family- they of course they've been on Deaths scheduled more than a fair amount and enough to scare Abby, their dad and the detective and Luci all enough.

They met their inevitable end at the hands of Aziraphale well at least for a few seconds but as they were brought back making them quickly a god- the one of glitter.

Death seemed to follow their path as they met Vox and after a near death experience and touching guilt-laced fire that left them with scars that laced their fingers running up their hands, running up their arms and gripping their neck like a hand. They cover up their arms and neck nowadays but they can't hide their hands, they can't hide these scars…

They're trying to keep everyone safe, they're trying to keep their family safe.

But they won't tell Eddie, Eddie called them birdie and said they both could get in trouble… Jay won't tell on Eddie they don't tell on Eddie.

LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR -— CEO of Lux Fashion (PINTEREST)

What is left in its wake when the anger subsides and the raw wounds of betrayal and crumbled pride begin to heal? Growth, efficiency, and SPITE above all else. Luci could only rot in their timeout corner for so long before she'd had enough. But, she had been irresponsible before and had been lead by emotion to the very cursed throne she held reign over; the same mistake would not be made twice.

Hell was made to be self-sufficient so she could follow her own whims on the surface world. A throne not left empty but eradicated all together, made to be obsolete. Lucifer had decided that if something was broken, if something was not working-—it would be fixed, not left to fester.

To the surface she sprung and became all but the sole reason for the creation of the fashion industry for what was fashion if not the expression of self? Of freedom? Of REBELLION? Of course it would be Lucifer that would introduce such a thing to Man.

Humans eat fashion up, they love it and initially she is once again pleased to prove just how easy her creator's little weirdos are swayed and manipulated. It's all very spiteful but still very much that of a scorned child still throwing a tantrum. That's how it starts, at least.

Fashion becomes IMPORTANT to humans. Not just a status symbol to sow discourse and strife but something MORE. It becomes freedom, it becomes expression. It is SELF and rebellion and now Lucifer loves fashion too. So long spent torturing and tearing down and feeling as if that was all she would ever be capable of…now she’s created a way to build others up, to give them the means to climb their way back from their own falls. It gives her the means to begin to finally heal and to do so on her own. She decides she's become too tired of feeling angry and decides no one longer deserves the satisfaction of seeing them festering and raw. No more feeling sorry for herself, no more anger-—she has shit to do.

She establishes Lux Fashion and it quickly becomes the magazine that sways the entirety of the fashion world. Think Vogue but so much bigger. That’s where she is now. New York, manning the largest and most important fashion magazine as its CEO.

Personality wise, Lucifer is always on top of shit. They are organized and precise and very well put together. For someone who led a failed rebellion, she is absolutely THRIVING now and has (seemingly) put everything behind her in order to focus on herself. She is still very bitter but has turned that energy into succeeding out of pure spite.

MISC BITS-—

👗 Lucifer has a pet hellhound name Shenzi that takes the form of a miniature pinscher. Her true form is obviously a big scary demon that can't be seen by mortal eyes.

👗 Her mbti is enfj-a

👗 agender she/they but will default to she usually (though I as the writer will alternate)

👗 She just goes by Lucifer and doesn't hide who they are. Obviously, people just think it's some eccentric moniker and bit she's committing to.

👗 Clark has not formally met Lucifer but they exist in the same sphere and I imagine it would go something like Clark venting his angsty little misplaced anger for the Divine and Lucifer sympathizing but also putting him in his place. :')

Detective Decker's Devil Dog

read it on the AO3 at https://ift.tt/2JQLC7n

by Ronin

Chloe Decker is persona non-grata at the LAPD due to the fallout from the Palmetto affair. Tired of the hostile, toxic work environment, she transfers to the Metro Division and becomes a K9 Officer. Lucifer Morningstar, the Original Fallen Angel, had been enjoying his retirement in Los Angeles, wallowing in all the sins and desires of the city's many residents, granting favors, fulfilling desires, and losing himself in a non-stop orgy of sex, drugs, and rock and roll...until he runs afoul of a powerful witch who curses him, binding him into the form of a large, black dog. Chloe has no idea what to make of the K9 partner assigned to her. He's large. He's black. He's terrifyingly powerful and frighteningly smart, and more than a little unsettling. The fact that his name is Lucifer doesn't help. In spite of that, they work well together, well enough that Lt. Monroe asks Chloe to come back - with her K9 partner. With the ghost of Palmetto still haunting her, Chloe decides to take another crack at solving the case once and for all. Meanwhile, Lucifer just wants to break the curse and get back to his life as the billionaire playboy devil. Fate however, has other plans.
