Fallen Angel brothers!!! God I bet their designs would all look amazing! They are all in this together willing to toughen out even the worst punishments! I wonder if Raphael would stay super positive, or if Uriel would find different ways to read. Maybe Gabriel and Uriel could stay together sometimes since they are now opposites.

(see this!)

ouuuughhh honestly i do want to try to design them at some point, bc i have a rough idea what they would all look like now. i did talk a little bit about their dynamics here, but i really love the potential of them reuniting as a family....except they've all fallen. like they do need to rely on each other and they obviously have that foundation from the eons they spent as a cohesive unit, in fact it's natural for them...but they've basically been separated now for centuries and they all have the stress of being fallen to contend with. raphael IS absolutely trying to stay positive, but his fatigue can leave him too exhausted to mediate constantly and, being fallen, he also discovers he's got his limits (i have to imagine the first time raphael yells is VERY effective at defusing the situation though lol) i think they all sort of realize that they're each suffering and dealing with constant punishment now, so, fittingly, they need grace more than ever. gabriel's freezing, uriel's on fire, raphael's sick, and michael's basically a vampire. if they could be convinced to get along (ie, if MICHAEL can get along), i actually think they'd begin to care for each other in new ways.

the thing is, despite being a unit, the archangels are all rather independent in how they operate - uriel would alert them of trouble, gabriel would fight the threat, michael would bind it, and raphael would heal the damage afterward. and in battle, they all know their exact positions - uriel and raphael in the back for magic assault and restoration respectively, while gabriel and michael hold the frontline with their graceful close combat. but now, in hell...i think they need more direct support from one another. gabriel and uriel definitely learn very quickly that if they both need some relief, they can stick close together and mitigate some of their respective punishment (uriel can READ he can read!!!! i like the idea too that gabriel actually figures out how to freeze books to help them stand up to uriel's temperatures) raphael absolutely gets in the habit of carrying blood with him in case michael needs some (he's at first offended by the idea of needing to be cared for, but he's pretty grateful the first time it comes in handy), and i just KNOW they all want to be sure raphael gets his rest - he feels guilty for slowing them down so often, but they all assure him they need the rest just as much. and michael absolutely attempts to take on way too much once he fully accepts their situation, trying to at least be a perfect big brother but also because, in a way, he feels his punishment is the easiest to deal with. it's hard to get him to slow down because of it, but i think raphael figures out fairly early on that he can fake sick and michael will stick by him to keep him safe (TRULY a demon of fraud!!!!)

SO YEA....i really love them coming together as a family in new ways, ways they never had to when so much else was taken care of for them. they have to carve their own path now and honestly, in some capacity, they can actually be much closer than even god made them to be. michael would PREFER if that family didn't now include v1, but maybe he can eventually reach a grudging acceptance of it when he sees how happy it makes gabriel. it maybe not be the in-law any of them wanted, but somehow it, unfortunately, seems to suit them.

#HOPEFULLY this is somewhat coherent #it's late late and i should be sleeping...but it's too hot tonight and im anxious so!!!#i decided to make myself feel better thinking about this little family...#im gonna make a spin off au at this rate but i just. love them #cake answers #fallen gabriel #fallen raphael #fallen uriel #fallen michael #THERE....they can all have a separate tag
