#i really wanted to put sinnerman in there

[cursed-rat-of-homosexuality]

A good is-Tom-Normal-About-That-Media? meter is how I deal with music related to that specific media. Unfortunately in OFMD's case it's ticking in the "Brain Rotted Pile of Clown Meat" zone, because I basically went through every song ever made by Nina Simone just to try and guess which two songs are playing in s2.

So you know what??? I'm laying out my predictions here, if any of these starts playing then I'm owed a Jenkins thumbs up or something like that. Idk. I spent four hours of my life on this, I need a hug. I threw the dice and this is what came out.

> These three are my favorites, I have a feeling about them, they smell like OFMD to me and my brainwaves bounce up a bit when I hear them (u know... like the sea.... ha...ha)

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Ed-Coded, sad, moody, it's frantic and helpless in a way that's also really desperate, and ohohoho the rhythm on this one tickles my brain a bit.

Feeling Good

A bit overplayed, basically in every fandom playlist but It! Is! There! For! A! Reason! And that reason is that it's reeeally good and very villain like. Could be Ed-Coded, I'd like to imagine that's him trying to conform into his Kraken/Blackbeard persona, could be other people too though. Use your imagination here.

Do What You Gotta Do

Are all of these Ed-Coded? You might ask. And the answer is, well.... maybe. It's not my fault Executive Producer David Jenkins based Ed's whole character on Nina Simone songs okay????? (I see what you did there you little evil man-shaped weasel. I SEE IT ALL.) But just.. here, look at me... listen to it and tell me it isn't Ed through and through.

> These ones are also very OFMD-like and I wouldn't be putting them in here after sifting through more than 100 songs just because. I also have a feeling about them, but it isn't the overwhelming sense of certain doom I get from the previous three.

Save Me

Ed coded. He loves Stede and he hates that with every fiber of his being. He's still very hurt, but cannot help being fond of the whimsical dipshit, poor guy.

I Shall Be Released

Ed coded, just give my man a break.

I Put A Spell On You

Overplayed one again, this one isn't really coded to any of them. But I feel like it would play after Stede tries to reconcile with Ed for the first time and fails miserably. Ed is still really hurt, and Stede is just realizing the extent to which he hurt him. It's after they just had a discussion, maybe it's raining, Stede is soaking wet calling "Yd! Yd! Yd please talk to me!" But Ed just keeps on walking. It's a romantic comedy staple and we need to have one of these.

Take Care Of Business

Semi-Competent!Stede being the breadwinner of the family is one of my favourite hcs. Ed is really tired of The Pirate Life™️ and I bet he'd fucking love to be a trophy wife, man spent his whole life being the scourge of the seven seas, give him a break for christs sake.

Mr.Bojangles

just... listen to it

Just Say I Love Him

Is- Is that a... no, it can't be! Dios mio, It's... a Stede coded song 😱😱 *pain sounds* *weird bone cracking going on* *little bit of a fleshy sonority to it now* *crashing sounds* *cat meowing* *bone cracking again but this one is good I think*. Ok back to it, this is really just "I should just have told him how I feel" vibes, Stede made a mess, he regrets it. Etc.

That's it then. Did I do this just to prove I was right if any of them appears in S2? Pfft of course not! Who would even do that... lol... Also please feel free to add thinky thoughts to this if y'all are willing! I'd love to hear people's interpretations of the songs.

Song Poem Challenge!

“Put your entire song collection on shuffle, then write down the first line from each of the first ten songs that pop up to create a poem. Then dedicate the poem to the blorbo or OTP that it most reminds you of!”

I was tagged by @omgkalyppso <3 <3 <3

I changed up the order of the lines to make something more poemlike, instead of the random order they came in from shuffle which I hope still is in line with the game ;;

I’m a dead man I was born in the summer when the sun didn’t shine I was the first match struck at the first cremation Deep in the corner of the night Under the blue moon I saw you You look at me now I hear your heart Oh, Sinnerman, where you gonna run to? Darling, be by the door When the thorn bush turns white that’s when I’ll come home

Perhaps it's because I have too many songs in my mix that are about wolves, but I'm thinking this gives the vibes of Majexatli, perhaps Majexatli and Wyll specifically.

Songs used are:

Wolf // Saint Mesa

Promiseland // MIKA

What Death Leaves Behind /// Los Campesinos

Glory // Bastille

The Killing Moon // Echo & The Bunnymen

Cigar // Tamino

Woodwork // Sleeping At Last

Sinnerman // Nina Simone

Every Pore // Tamino

Full Moon // The Black Ghosts

I always get really nervous about tagging people so I will just put a general: if you see this and want to do this, consider yourself tagged by me!! :)

Adolescent Antichrist (Book 3) Chapter Six

Father Figure! Lucifer x Reader

Chapter Six: That's Exactly the Type of Shenanigans You Like

Summary: (Y/N) realized Lieutenant Pierce is more suspicious than he seems.

            “Lucifer, what’s happening?” asked (Y/N) as Lucifer guided them into the LAPD office, looking strangely on edge.

            “I need you to stay here,” said Lucifer. He sat them down at Chloe’s desk and put his hands on their shoulders. “The Sinnerman…we caught him.”

            “That’s supposed to be good, isn’t it?” questioned (Y/N). “So what happened?”

            “First, he, uh, gauged out his eyes so I couldn’t use my abilities on him,” said Lucifer.

            “First?” (Y/N) wrinkled their nose. “There’s more?”

            “Unfortunately,” muttered Lucifer. “There’s a girl. Another victim. She’s…She’s being drowned. She’s still alive, and we need to find her.” His hand went to (Y/N)’s cheek, softly, fatherly. “He’s working with someone on the outside. I—I can’t risk you getting hurt, so please, please listen to me this once and stay here. I have Emeranne and Mazikeen watching outside, so you’ll be safe, but please, don’t try anything this time. I want-no, need you to be safe, alright?”

            (Y/N) blinked. “Yeah, I, uh, yeah. I’ll stay here.”

            “Alright.” Lucifer breathed a sigh of relief. “Good, good. I promise, I’ll be right back. I just need to make sure we take care of this girl. We have a clue to where she is.” Then I’ll take care of the Sinnerman. With a final comforting squeeze to their shoulder, Lucifer stood and left.

            (Y/N) leaned back at Chloe’s desk. Alright, so what am I supposed to do now?

            “Why are you at my mom’s desk?” asked a young voice.

            (Y/N) glanced to the side and saw a young girl. “Lucifer told me to stay put. You’re Detective Decker’s kid?”

            “I’m Trixie,” she said. “Are you the kid Lucifer took in? Mom’s mentioned you.”

            “Yeah, I’m (Y/N),” they said. “What does Detective Decker say about me?”

            “Usually I hear her talking with Maze about how she worries that Lucifer is a maniac that probably isn’t a good influence,” said Trixie. She smiled. “I think Lucifer is cool.”

            (Y/N) considered. “He is, but she’s not…wrong.”

            Trixie grinned. “Really? Have you learned how to gamble and…do deals like my mom says Lucifer does?”

            “I’m good at knowing when I’ll win a bet,” said (Y/N), shrugging.

            “Really? Make a bet with me,” said Trixie.

            (Y/N) smiled. This kid was fun; they could get along. “Okay, sure. How much is your allowance?”

            “Five dollars,” said Trixie.

            “Fine, I’ll bet you five dollars, then,” said (Y/N).

            “For what?” asked Trixie.

            “For knowing your mom is going to solve the case she’s on,” said (Y/N).

            “That’s not fair! Of course she will,” said Trixie.

            (Y/N) shrugged. “Hey, I warned you I know when I’ll win a bet.”

            Trixie grinned. “Okay, okay. I guess that was smart of you.”

            “Thanks,” said (Y/N). They leaned forward. “How about this—I won’t ask for your money since that was a trick, but you have to give me some gossip. You spend some time around the office, don’t you?”

            “I do,” said Trixie with a mischievous grin.

            “Alright, whaddya have?” asked (Y/N) conspiratorially.

            “My dad likes this lawyer lady,” said Trixie eagerly. “I’m going to go talk to her later to help my dad.”

            “Nice,” said (Y/N). Even though it is weird to know Espinosa knew Charlotte when she was…Missy. “Anything else?”

            “My mom doesn’t like the new lieutenant,” said Trixie. “Or, well, I think she does but isn’t sure yet. He seems uppity, so I dunno. I like Lucifer more.”

            “Because of Maze, I’m guessing,” said (Y/N).

            “Yeah,” said Trixie, shrugging. “I like her being my mom’s roommate. She teaches me how to use knives and takes me trick-or-treating.”

            “She taught me a little, too,” said (Y/N). “She’s good.”

            “What about Lucifer?” asked Trixie.

            “What do you mean?” asked (Y/N).

            “What does Lucifer think of the new lieutenant?”

            (Y/N) considered. “I don’t think he’s the biggest fan.” They shrugged. “Neither am I.”

            “Me, too,” said Trixie. “I don’t like his tattoo. Doesn’t look like anything, just a circle. I would have at least done a smiley face.”

            (Y/N) chuckled. “Who knows, maybe it has some meaning.”

            “Maybe,” said Trixie. She glanced at the clock. “Oh! I think Miss Richards is getting in now. Bye, gotta go help my dad have some luck with women. She’s cool.” Trixie waved before leaving.

            (Y/N) raised their hand in a short wave. They looked down at the desk before them. Would it be rude to go through the case file? Yes. Is it illegal? Yes. Am I still going to do it? Yes.

            They flipped open the Sinnerman case filed and flipped through the profile. So this is the guy? Way less impressive than I imagined since Lucifer thought he had some divine magic.

            (Y/N) pulled out some of the photos and looked at them. They frowned when they came across a childhood picture. Looks like a normal kid. They considered. Well, I guess I thought all murderers were sort of weird since my uncle always was.

            (Y/N) furrowed their brow as they noticed a mark on the arm of the man hugging the young Sinnerman. The face was out of frame, but the circular mark on his bicep was clear as day.

            It can’t be Pierce, he’s too young to be that age back then, right? They frowned. And this has to be a coincidence?

            Getting up, they snuck into Pierce’s office. Luckily, everyone was busy coordinating with the Sinnerman issues to pay them any attention.

            Photos, photos, photos, thought (Y/N), pulling out files from Pierce’s desk. Interesting, he was in Chicago at the same time the Sinnerman was, according to the file dates. Finally, (Y/N) arrived at a photograph of Pierce in a t-shirt. The mark on his arm was identical to that of the man holding the Sinnerman all those years ago.

            It’s like no time has passed. It’s like he’s immortal. (Y/N)’s eyes widened. Divine shit. Fits with what Lucifer thought, even if the Sinnerman doesn’t have the power to give me abilities or wings. It makes sense.

            (Y/N) fumbled for their phone and called Lucifer. He didn’t pick up, and they cursed, calling again. Pick up, pick up, pick up!

            Finally, Lucifer took the call. “(Y/N). It’s over. The Sinnerman…we had a disagreement. Lieutenant Pierce had to shoot him. The girl is safe, but we don’t have our answers, and it’s strange, because he wanted to die, but why would the Sinner—”

            “Lucifer!” interrupted (Y/N), knowing he could go on forever. “He’s not the Sinnerman.”

            “What?” asked Lucifer.

            “I was…sneaking around the LAPD office—”

            “Good job,” said Lucifer, proud of their cleverness.

            “—and I found that Pierce has the same mark on his arm that a man in a photo with a ten-year-old supposed-Sinnerman does,” said (Y/N). “And the man seems to be the same age as Pierce is now, but it can’t be difference. It’s exactly the same.”

            “…A mark?” asked Lucifer as the pieces came together.

            “Yeah, a mark. Sort of a circle, looks like a scar more than a tattoo in my opinion,” said (Y/N).

            “(Y/N), I want you to go back to Lux right now. I want you out of the LAPD office,” said Lucifer. “Grab the pictures and go. I’ll deal with this when we get back, but stay there until I’m with you.” He hung up.

            (Y/N) blinked. “I have a feeling some shenanigans are about to happen.”

l

            “Alright, Lucifer, what’s going on?” questioned (Y/N), arms crossed, when Lucifer walked into Lux.

            “Do you have the pictures?” asked Lucifer.

            “Obviously,” said (Y/N), handing them over. “Who is Pierce? He can’t be human if he’s the same age now that he was in that picture.”

            “He is human, of a sort,” said Lucifer.

            “Can you be any more specific?” sighed (Y/N).

            “He’s Cain.”

            “Cain? ‘Cain and Abel’ Cain?” asked (Y/N).

            “Yes, cursed to never die because he killed his brother,” said Lucifer.

            “And he’s the Sinnerman?”

            “Yes.”

            “And let me guess, you decided to just…invite him here?”

            “How did you know?” asked Lucifer.

            “Because that’s exactly the type of shenanigans you like,” said (Y/N), deadpan.

            “You’re right,” admitted Lucifer. “I’m going to stab him just to make sure, and then I’ll figure what he’s up to.”

            “I’m staying,” said (Y/N).

            “What? No,” said Lucifer.

            “Yes, I am,” said (Y/N). “You think he’s involved with God or whoever gave you your wings back and caused me to get some. If that’s true, I want to be there. I’m already involved.”

            Lucifer sighed, seeing the determined expression on their face. They would ignore any commands he gave if he tried to keep them away. “Very well. But you stay by me and away from Cain, understand? If he tries anything, I’ll handle it.”

            “Got it,” said (Y/N), crossing their fingers behind their back.

12, 17, & 22 plz and thank you 🔪

12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

Less "unpopular" and more "underutilized", but Rachel Casich, the BD producer from the Sinnerman questline. I LOVE how much of a bitch she is, and it's also fun to be able to tag along with a corpo-type on a mission and actually get to hear her out as to the who's and why's of her character-- every other corpo-type character you interact with is either disgraced (Takemura), a huge irredeemable dick (Joanne Koch), or a punching bag (the corpo at the start of Pepe's quest, to name only one), so it's nice that we get a mission where we get to interact with a corpo who's none of those, and actually gets to raise some decent points. Plus she's lowkey hilarious. Simmerman was kinda GOATED in terms of good character writing and I wanted to highlight how much I enjoyed hers, though I can get why people like her.

17. there should be more of this type of fic/art

I am such an unabashed slut for art thats put characters into the tarot card that they think represents them. Bonus points if it's their Vs and they get put into the positioning of their symbolic tarot card. I would honestly commission an artist to do a whole set just solely comprised of V-centered major arcana tarot cards-- 22 Vs with the 22 cards their creators think they best represent. This isn't even based on something thematic or canonical, this is literally for my own personal enjoyment.

22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

This is a really niche one but bear with me-- the hidden dialogue you can trigger with Johnny in The Frolics of Councilwoman Cole questline out in Downtown, where Johnny will appear on a yacht and advocate for spitting in the eyes of billionaires. The main reason I know that dialogue isn't common knowledge by the fandom is because I know everyone would reference it if it was.

Twenty questions for fic writers

Thanks for the tag, @conundrumoftime!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

I have 18!

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

I've never checked this before so it was fun to see: 272,376

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently, my main fandom is The Rings of Power (Sauron x Galadriel) and my other fandom is The Umbrella Academy (Diego Hargreeves x Lila Pitts). I have also written one fic for The Wheel of Time (Lan Mandragoran x Nynaeve al'Meara)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

dig up the bones (but leave the soul alone), Rings of Power, my canon(ish) Haladriel WIP that explores what would've happened if Galadriel had said yes to Sauron's proposal.

lend me some sugar (I am your neighbor), Rings of Power, a complete, Haladriel modern!AU where Galadriel and Halbrand are neighbors with thin walls, and one of them is a bit more, *ehem*, vocal than the other.

oh, can’t you hear that scratching? (there’s something at the door), Rings of Power, a complete, Haladriel mob!AU. Galadriel — a widow who is, quite literally, haunted by the ghosts of those she's lost — inadvertently catches the eye of Halbrand, a mob boss from the wrong side of town.

oh sinnerman (where you gonna run to?), The Umbrella Academy, a complete post-s2 story where Lila encounters each of the Hargreeve siblings as she searches for a reason to stop running away from Diego.

take what the water gave me (oh my love, don't forsake me), Rings of Power, a post-ep6 (but pre-ep7) Haladriel one-shot where Halbrand and Galadriel come together in the wake of Orodruin's explosion to comfort each other.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I don't unless there's a specific need to. At first, it was because I didn't want to skew the number of comments I received. But now it's simply because 1) it's one more stressor related to writing, and 2) I am desperately bad at responding to compliments.

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I think most of the installments from my first series (which, honestly, should've been one full story) Two Worlds Collided (Umbrella Academy post-s1, pre-s2 Diego Hargreeves x Eudora Patch) because I kept breaking them up at the end of every installment. Also, probably be all my sins remembered, (Umbrella Academy, post-s2 one-shot, Diego Hargreeves x Lila Pitts) just given the story is about pregnancy loss.

Truly amazed that for a comedy show, I really have a pattern of putting Diego Hargreeves through it. Poor baby, as if he hasn't suffered enough!

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I'm not really sure how to measure "happiest," which may be something I need to bring up with my therapist lol. It's probably between lend me some sugar (I am your neighbor), given it's a rom-com structure with rom-com ending, and oh sinnerman (where you gonna run to?), as it ends with all the siblings on the journey towards healing together and Lila finally decides to stay.  

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I've received one anon hate message. it was unbearably fucking stupid.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I do, but I don't know how to qualify smut! Lately, very smutty-smut haha. I've also noticed recently I tend to have the MMC engage in some form of dirty talk during it.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I have not and I also don't read them. I have a hard time suspending my disbelief when two IPs collide.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I can't find the message about it now, but I was notified during my Umbrella Academy days that someone was lifting my dialogue for a TUA RPG site, which was wild to me.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I believe oh sinnerman (where you gonna run to?) was translated into Korean.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

I have not! Given the absolute unhinged nature of my creative process, I don't think that would go well for me (or anyone else!)

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

God, honestly? Probably Captain Swan (Once Upon a Time, Killian Jones x Emma Swan). Just something about them having mirrored childhoods and traumas, how they're always coming back for each other when they think they've been abandoned, that they're each others homes!!! Also, god the fandom was churning out some of the most stellar fics when the show was on.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

dig up the bones (but leave the soul alone) is currently my only incomplete WIP and I am determined to finish it!! I am considering using NaNoWriMo to do so, but who knows.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I've gotten really good at world building, which I love. When I am writing a story, my mind always immediately jumps to the environment the characters are in -- not so much the physical setting, but a lot of the cultural elements: language and idioms, customs and food, holidays, and all the emotions these inspire. I think having a firm sense of the world helps me orient the characters, and I can find a lot of dimension in how they interact with these aspects of the world.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I am way too fucking wordy. Dear god, why use one word to describe something when I could use five (and a Shakespeare reference)!? I think I have a tendency to get so lost in the sauce I can trip myself up on plot points and the characterization can veer towards inconsistent. I'm also stuck in this belief of "I never finish anything!" which is patently untrue. But it's difficult to overcome when writing multi-chapter fics. I try not to psych myself out and remind myself to take it one chapter at a time.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

It's best used sparingly and with enough context to understand its meaning. I hate having to scroll to the bottom of a story to find out what's being said, especially when the dialogue is central to the story. It disrupts the flow.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

My very-very-very-FIRST fandom I wrote for in middle school was Avatar the Last Airbender (I have been a Mai x Zuko girl since...well not day 1, but definitely day 2. Don't come for me.) Back in those days, I primarily wrote for ATLA and Naruto.

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

oh, can’t you hear that scratching? (there’s something at the door)  took me completely by surprise, to. be honest. It started with the idea of, "mob boss!Halbrand would be hot," and it spun totally out of control from there. I literally started writing it thinking it was going to a simple one-shot: "Grieving Gal goes to a club and has sex with Halbrand, and it is very hot." I don't remember why I made Galadriel a widow, only that I liked the idea of Halbrand sparking some life back into her. When I first sat down and put proverbial pen to paper, the ghosts weren't intended to be real, just a side-detail to illustrate Gal's grief. But the more I wrote, the more prominent Gal's grief became, and then, so did the ghosts.

What I am saying, is, I really surprised myself with this story and how it grew into something so big from an idea so small. When I re-read it today, the imagery and sense-feelings are still just as clear to me as when I wrote it. And I remain very proud.

Tagging: @formerlyir, @orcas86, @ophidion, @myrsinemezzo, @liminal-zone, @softlighter, @bad-surprise, @justatinycollector, @nocaptainonthisship, @hazelmaines and anyone else who wants to join in!

👀 Low Lays the Devil👀 I must know

Opened the doc for the first time in 3 years

Yeah, so, I have quite a bit of this written, but I haven't posted it because I don't currently have plans to write any more. I don't like leaving things unfinished but I simply can't keep up with more than one fandom at a time.

Currently I've covered their return from LA, their first confrontation with the Sinnerman (make the freezer make sense), the surfer case, and most of Axara.

I'd love to share the freezer scene, but it's a little too long to include all the context, so instead I'll share one of my other favourite scenes I've written that's a total departure from the show.

Remember Olivia Monroe? The one Lucifer made Chief of Police? The writers sure didn't, but I did!

*

“Chief, thank you so much for seeing me on such short notice.” Chloe adjusted the hem of her shirt - something about her former boss had always made her feel underdressed. 

“Oh, please, no need to stand on ceremony!” Olivia Monroe’s voice was as warm and deliberate as Chloe remembered. “‘Olivia’ has always been fine between us.” Chloe didn’t fail to note how her eyes lingered on Lucifer, who smiled.

The knot in Chloe’s stomach unclenched, on seeing that smile. It was an old smile, the kind of smile she’d rarely seen on his face since they’d started dating. The kind with sharp edges, ones you could cut yourself with if you weren’t careful. She wondered how she’d missed them before.

Whatever apprehension she’d had about bringing Lucifer to this meeting vanished. He was in full on gentleman Devil mode, and clearly held no lingering fondness for Olivia.

“Olivia, so lovely to see you again. It’s been too long.”

Olivia looked surprised that Lucifer wasn’t fawning over her any more, but recovered quickly. “Please, have a seat.” 

They sat in the pair of leather chairs facing Olivia’s mahogany desk. Her office had really gotten an upgrade as chief of police. 

Olivia leaned back in her own chair. “Now, what can I do for you both?” Her lips turned up as she regarded them. “Gotta say, it was a stroke of genius, putting you two together. The department’s close rate has never looked so good. I’ll gladly do whatever I can to help.”

Chloe folded her hands on her knee. “Thanks, Olivia. That really means a lot.” She cut right to the chase. “How much do you know about the Sinnerman?”

It was a calculated risk — neither of them trusted Olivia any more than they trusted Pierce. They were counting on her either being able to help them, or shaking something loose.

Olivia’s face was carefully neutral. “The mob boss? Everyone thinks he’s a myth.”

“But what do you think?” Lucifer’s tone was effortlessly charming, but Chloe bet butter wouldn’t have melted in his mouth. 

Olivia blinked, and cast a glance at the door. “I’ve heard the rumours, of course, that he’s active in LA.”

“Oh, come now.” Lucifer leaned forward, and Chloe was happy to cede the floor. “You’re the first female chief of police. You must know more than that.” 

Olivia swallowed. Chloe would have felt sorry for her if they didn’t have her exactly where they wanted her. She decided to prime the pump a little.

“Listen,” she said, and Olivia jumped just slightly, turning her attention from Lucifer. “Lucifer and I have had several run ins with someone claiming to be the Sinnerman. Our forensic tech got us some blood spatter DNA from an old crime scene in Chicago attributed to the Sinnerman. We’re past the stage of plausible deniability.”

Olivia’s eyes narrowed. “So why come to me with it?”

Lucifer and Chloe looked at each other. “We think there’s a mole in the precinct,” Chloe admitted. “We can’t trust anyone.”

“But you trust me,” Olivia pointed out. “At least enough to show your hand.” She pondered for a moment. Lucifer crossed his legs, looking as unruffled as ever, and Chloe struggled to exude the same aura of calm. 

“You’re putting me in a very difficult position,” Olivia said at last. Lucifer smirked, but didn’t comment. “I was ready to give you resources, promotions, but if you’re asking me to break confidentiality, I’m going to need a little something more.”

Chloe was thrown. She cast a quick glance at Lucifer, whose expression was inscrutable; not the ardent glee she’d expected if he was about to call in a favour. She’d assumed Olivia owed him, but Lucifer’s behaviour would seem to indicate he considered them square. Mind racing, she adjusted on the fly. 

“You know us,” she said, impressed at how steady her voice was. “You know our record. If you can trust anything, it’s that we’ll get to the bottom of this, eventually. We put away Graham, Smith, Herrera...” She paused. “You could say nothing, and nothing would get back to you. Or you could be the strong, proactive leader who helped us root out corruption in the department. It’s your choice.”

Lucifer was looking at her with guarded approval. Olivia laughed.

“Damn, you got some balls, Decker,” she said. “I’m almost sorry I don’t get to work with you any more. You really are the best detective in the department.” Olivia gave her an assessing look. “I’m sure I don’t have to tell you you’re already committing insubordination just by being here; you’ve got more on the line than me.” Chloe didn’t balk. Some things were worth it. Olivia seemed to come to a decision.

“Well, I can tell you you’re right not to trust anyone,” she said, and Chloe resisted the urge to clench her fists. I knew it. “Since we’re sharing, I can tell you in confidence that your boss is under investigation from IA.”

Pierce. Having her suspicions confirmed brought Chloe no comfort. It was horrifying news.  

“Seems some people weren’t thrilled with the way he handled the Sinnerman stuff in Chicago,” Olivia continued. “But by the time CPD bothered to pick up the phone, he’d already been hired here.” She looked at both of them sternly. “I’m telling you this because I believe you two are the best team I have. I don’t think I have to warn you what could happen if this gets out.”

“We are the very essence of discretion,” Lucifer assured her. Chloe was already pondering the revelation. If Pierce couldn’t be trusted… maybe he was even more connected with the Sinnerman than they’d thought.

“Thank you, Olivia,” she said, meaning it. 

“Oh, don’t thank me, Decker,” Olivia said. “I’ve got a job for you two. A singer, Axara. She needs protection. It’s a high profile case. I’m putting you both on it.” Olivia tilted her head. “That’s what it’s all about, right? Tit for tat.”

“Understood, Chief.” Chloe nodded — there was no way to refuse, even though she wished she could just dive into researching Pierce. 

Olivia rose, and they followed her lead. “I’m proud of you,” she said as they were leaving. “Don’t make me regret it.”

U for fanfic ask game

Sorry if this is a lot but like you’re a really great writer and you characterize people well so I want to know! Also I love fanfic in general and ask games are always really fun

Awwww! Thanks for the compliment!!!

I'd say my three favourite fic writers are all one's I got into through TUA. Then again, I'd not read a lot of fic for a while before getting into TUA, so I guess that's sort of unavoidable.

By far my favourite is @pepperf. For one, nepotism, we have become really good friends after connecting through fic. But also, oh man, her writing is so good. She's so good at subtle humour and characterisation and I genuinely can't quite put my finger on it but there's just so much spectacular emotion in her fic. Or especially it really really really strongly makes me feel things. And she has the voices of the characters all down. And I don't just mean Diego and Lila who she mostly writes for, but her Klaus is hilarious, I love her Allison, Five is always in character, I love her Luther, I now have to mention Victor and Ben or it would be weird, I guess they just haven't featured so much (yet). And the details!!! I think that is also it, she just really wonderful language that is super efficient in some place and extremely effective because of it and then brings out such illustrative details that fully pull you into the scene she's presenting.

Another writer who has written just absolutely stunning fic is Gin_Juice. As far as I know they don't have a tumblr, but a lot of what I've said about Pepper also fits for them. Great sense of humour, like laugh out loud funny writing in a lot of places. Extremely fun and sympathetic characterisation, without pulling punches about them all being slightly broken and often quite selfish, but in GJ's stories the Hargreeves love each other very much and that becomes abundantly clear. And my god are they spectacular at world building an plot construction. They wrote a massive two part post season 2 fic series that was absolutley insanely well constructed and they are currently writing and posting a reimagination of s3 that I am always so stoked to see an update for and they just fuckin' hammer out almost each month a chapter the length of some of my longer fics XD

The last one I could not neglect to mention is @wyrd-syster. They have written wonderful Diego fic! They wrote super lovely Diego/Eudora fic after s1 (which I didn't read till after s2 aired and I'd already fallen hard for the Diego/Lila ship and yet I loved their fic so so much). But most of all they actually got me into TUA fanfic with oh sinnerman (where you gonna run to?), a fic that takes a very close look at Diego's realtionships with all of his siblings while also weaving together an incredibly heartbreaking and romantinc love story of Lila coming in from the cold post s2. Man, I want to go back to the first, second, or third time I read that fic. It just bowled me over!

I hope you don't mind my long-winded answer here XD. And I'm so glad you asked me a bunch of questions! I also enjoy these ask games immensely!!!

[rabbit-habits]

@saltedpin​ tagged me to do the ‘ten songs you’re vibing to right now’ meme the other day! So here it is! In reality, most of the time I’m just listening to whatever YouTube puts in the My Mix playlist, but here are some songs I’ve actively sought out recently. Hopefully the links will work! Thank you for the tag, @saltedpin! I tag whoever would like to share their favorite music!

1. Sinnerman - Nina Simone

2. Empty Vessels Make the Loudest Sound - The Mars Volta. One of three songs that will kill me if played in combination with one another.

3. For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her - Simon & Garfunkel. The live versions where Art Garfunkel really lets loose are better.

4. Steak Knives - Man Man. I’m assuming the title refers to the knives this song stabs into me.

5. Burning Bride - Shilpa Ray. This version is so much better than the album version, though that too is excellent.

6. Now I’m Gone - Beirut

7. Bachelorette - Björk. I dream of writing a story that manages to convey the lines “I'm a path of cinders/Burning under your feet/You're the one who walks me/I'm your one way street”

8. One More Cup of Coffee - The White Stripes doing a haunting cover of Bob Dylan. I used to listen to this on repeat for my whole commute.

9. Wide Lovely Eyes - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. One of the songs I wanted played at my hypothetical funeral (hypothetical because I’m not going to have a funeral, not because I’m immortal) until it was replaced by “Distant Sky”. However, if I hear one note of “Distant Sky” right now, I will actually collapse, so here’s “Wide Lovely Eyes”!

10. Clouds - The Mars Volta. Another Mars Volta! Basically, if a faithful family servant was talking to me about my favorite bands, I’d be like, “Nelly, I AM The Mars Volta. They’re always, always in my mind...as my own being.” I played this particular song over and over the night Trump got elected, and I’ve been playing it a lot recently. I associate it with immense grief while still loving it.

Bonus: Nisi Dominus - Cum Dederit - Antonio Vivaldi, sung by Andreas Scholl. YouTube recommended a video comparing a bunch of singers singing this to determine which was the best, and Scholl wasn’t even included, which infuriated me to the point that I’m sharing it here!

[bleakfated]

@putastakeinit asked: "You don't think that's a little paranoid?" from the supernatural & paranormal meme !!

❝ paranoid? i am far from paranoid, i assure you. ❞ he was being a little paranoid, but he wasn't going to recognize it. ❝ the night we met, you were chasing an abomination through a big crime den. i hardly find it unreasonable that literal monsters are more entwined with the human ones than i've been led to believe until now. ❞ of course he knew that vampires and the like were prevalent in the city, but he couldn't really write it off as a coincidence that one had been roaming cain's sinnerman headquarters.

❝ people that don't know about those monsters and ones that aren't as quick on their feet or apparently unafraid of the devil will be in danger if criminals are actually keeping vampires as pets. ❞ he certainly wouldn't put it past the smug original murderer. it made lucifer want to kill the man all over again. punishment, something he knew better than anyone was the only thing on his mind.

Hi, how are you? Your blog is amazing and your recommendations have already allowed me to read wonderful stories, so thank you so much! I wonder if you could suggest me any cherik fics of them as detectives? I remember reading one a long time ago, but unfortunately I don't know the name and even less the synopsis. Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you so much @remember5novemberv for your kind words. I'm so sorry this took me so long but I hope you enjoy this list. There are some excellent detective AUs in this fandom so you're in for a treat.

Cherik Detective AUs

Their Mouths Always Lie – keire_ke

Summary: Charles adheres to most police protocols like they are a personal code of conduct. Erik gets things done and over with, for better or worse. Raven knows what she's doing, most of the time. The serial killer kills, regardless. Police AU.

Guilty by Association – Reagan

Summary: While investigating the homicide of a John Doe who he suspects might've been murdered while working the streets as a prostitute, Detective Erik Lehnsherr finds an unexpected ally in a hooker named Charles who seems as determined as he to solve the case. As they become more deeply involved both with the case and each other, there's just one thing that Charles neglects to mention -- that he's really an investigative journalist, one quickly convinced that what they're dealing with is more than simple murder. cop!Erik, fake-hooker-slash-reporter!Charles, Modern AU.

Incy Wincy Spider – Tawabids

Summary: Erik Lehnsherr is a renowned homicide detective, with his husband Charles at home and his partner on the job, Moira MacTaggert. When a twisted serial killer starts targeting mutants, Erik and Moira are the perfect team for the job, especially since Erik himself is the mutant poster-boy of an NYPD trying to improve their image.

But what they don't yet know is that the serial killer is an old soul out of Erik's past, and his next move is to pull Charles into his web.

The Theory of Partnership Dynamics – Pangea

Summary: “Detective Lehnsherr, how wonderful to see you out on the job!” The fed in the front greets him as they draw nearer. He’s shorter than the other two by a full head, and he’s beaming at Lehnsherr as if completely undeterred by Lehnsherr’s paint-peeling scowl.

“What do the feds want?” Lehnsherr asks bluntly.

“You know I can’t tell you that,” the fed answers cheerfully. Then his gaze lands on Alex, and, impossibly, his grin gets even brighter. “Did you get a new partner?"

“No,” Lehnsherr says through his teeth while at the same time Alex says, “Yes.”

Charles’ Killer – luchia

Summary: When detective Charles Xavier finds himself hunting down a vendetta-driven serial killer, it doesn't take long for him to realize he's in over his head. It only takes a little longer for him to realize his killer is, too.

Demoted – JayPendragon

Summary: Erik Lehnsherr is a detective-specialist with the NYPD Mutant Tactical Unit, ready to help out where his skills are needed. Or he would be, if he and his partner hadn’t been demoted. For the next four months, he is patrolling the Lenox Hill precinct with Azazel – if he doesn’t die of boredom first.

One night they are called in to investigate a potential case of domestic violence, yet the tenant assures them he is both alone and unharmed. However, there is something about this Charles Xavier that compels Erik to follow up.

Watching the Detectives – Clocks

Summary: Detectives Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr are good friends and colleagues. However, when they go undercover at a Christmas party to nab a prime suspect, Erik keeps reminding himself to stay professional and ignore feelings of unexpected jealousy.

Oh, Sinnerman (Where you gonna run to?) – TintagelCastle (orphan–account)

Summary: Erik Lehnsherr is one of the best homicide detectives in New York. From small time stabbings to high end mob hits, Erik (and his equally scary partner Logan) makes sure all the bad guys get caught, searching for the final clue to nail his mother's killer. As a string of murders draws the net ever tighter on Erik's life's work, he needs to catch the nightmare of his past whilst continuing to be the darling of the Force...

And so what if he's completely in love with the British guy on Forensics? Who's he ever going to tell?

Wrap up my bones – waifornight

Summary: Damaged detective Erik Lehnsherr is grimly searching for a serial killer whose victims all have extraordinary gifts. But without any clues or leads he and his partner Logan are in the dark. Until Charles Xavier, abducted by the killer, escapes. Together Erik and Charles must confront something far darker than either of them had ever imagined.

Alternate Universe loosely based off the crime movie Kiss the Girls.

I’ll see your heart (and I’ll race you mine) – sirona

Summary: For Kriminalhauptkommissar Erik Lehnsherr, this case will change everything.

Paralyzer – Yahtzee

Summary: In 1965, Erik Lehnsherr has infiltrated the NYPD for his own purposes -- but his powers make him a brilliant detective. Yet that's not why FBI agent Charles Xavier has sought him out. It's because the mysterious killer they're both trying to find is murdering people like them: other mutants.

Their search for a madman binds them together. Their inner demons may tear them apart. But the greatest danger comes when the killer they're looking for looks back.

Wrap up my bones – waifornight

Summary: Damaged detective Erik Lehnsherr is grimly searching for a serial killer whose victims all have extraordinary gifts. But without any clues or leads he and his partner Logan are in the dark. Until Charles Xavier, abducted by the killer, escapes. Together Erik and Charles must confront something far darker than either of them had ever imagined.

Alternate Universe loosely based off the crime movie Kiss the Girls.

The Long Bright Dark – lachatblanche

Summary: Ten years ago Detectives Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr closed the case on a grotesque series of murders that continue to haunt them even in the present day. When they are pulled in for questioning a decade later, they finally have confirmation of something that they have both suspected for a very long time - that there is unfinished business for them to take care of and that the case they thought they had closed so very long ago is in reality still all too open.

A True Detective AU.

Finding North – ClarkeStetler, Goosenik

Summary: Charles and Erik are (loosely) friends with benefits. They don't share personal details, last names, or anything concrete about their lives. This is ruined rather spectacularly when Charles gets recruited by the Mutant Apprehension Division of the FBI. Surprised is a bit of an understatement for their reaction to finding themselves partnered up and sent out on cases with the team.

Closer (to God) – dsrobertson

Summary: Se7en/The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo AU-ish.

Political journalist and editor, Erik Lehnsherr, has just lost £150,000 in a libel case against businessman, Kurt Marko. Down on his luck and in need of money, Erik is approached by the Metropolitan Police’s Detective Inspector Charles Xavier. Well-known for his investigative journalism, Erik is asked to help in the search for a serial killer in return for £200,000 if the killer is caught.

Wrapped up in murder, religion, and sex, Erik gets more than he bargained for.

Homo Sacer – unveiled

Summary: In a not too distant future, Detective Erik Lehnsherr meets Charles Xavier: street magician, former academician, and telepath.

One Good Day – troll_under_the_bridge

Summary: One case which is going to turn Charles' world upside down, while he struggles to pacify his boss, investigate murders and come to terms with the mess his life has become.

Playing With Fire – professor

Summary: Charles is a detective determined to catch a serial killer.

If the serial killer doesn't catch him first.

Hold on or let go – aesc, pearl_o

Summary: Teenage telepath Charles Xavier takes a job as a consultant, working with prickly police detective Erik Lehnsherr. Charles is used to being on his own and taking care of himself; he has no reason to think that his relationship with this stern, icy man is going to change any of that. (Also known as: Tough Little Baby Telepath.)

MCIS: First Case – Pookaseraph

Summary: Erik Lehnsherr considers himself a great MCIS agent, and he puts up with a lot from his boss - Moira MacTaggart - in the name of solving crimes against mutants, but he's not so sure about this new empath, Charles Xavier. Their first case together will test Erik's patience, but doubtless be the beginning of a brilliant friendship.

MCIS: Fathers, Sons, and Brothers – Pookaseraph

Summary: Alex Summers has a single case that he has obsessed about ever since coming to MCIS two years ago: Su-M-94-0708-0034, the murder of Christopher and Katherine Summers, and the presumed kidnapping and possible murder of Scott Summers. Very little evidence was found at the time, but hopefully a new team - and new leads - can shed light on the case that left Alex an orphan.

When the Crazies come to town – Chinchillaatthedisc0

Summary: Erik is a surly detective with zero people skills who has just been assigned the murder case of Kurt Marko. Prime suspect? Charles xavier. Who's no where to be found.

My old man is a bad man – faerie_ground

Summary: Sebastian Shaw dies at two am in the morning with a dagger embedded in his forehead. Detective Erik Lehnsherr is on the case, and the number one suspect is the recently widowed Dr Charles Xavier, Sebastian Shaw's husband.

Deep Cover – Subtilior

Summary: Omegas in heat? The perfect whores. Sebastian Shaw? The bastard who kidnaps them for his Hellfire Club. Erik Lehnsherr? A hard-boiled detective who's been on the Hellfire case for months. The catastrophe that unfolds when he goes in on retrieval and finds Charles Xavier still writhing in a Hellfire bed? .... Deep Cover.

A Murder of Ravens – AbandonedWorld

Summary:Charles Xavier is wrongfully accused. Erik Lehnsherr is a top-notch homicide Lieutenant who stumbles upon the case of a lifetime: a serial killer targeting mutants–and only mutants. Charles bides his incarceration waiting on a miracle, reciting Poe's timeless gem in effort to retain his sanity...

Adolescent Antichrist (Book 3) Chapter Seven

Father Figure! Lucifer x Teen! Reader

Chapter Seven: You Must be a Great Business Partner

Summary: Pierce's identity is revealed.

            “Well, I’m here,” said Pierce, walking down the stairs into the empty Lux bar. He glanced at (Y/N), obviously wondering why they were there, but he focused on Lucifer. “This couldn’t have waited till morning?”

            “Time-sensitive, I’m afraid,” said Lucifer. “Or, in a way, the opposite.”

            “Just tell me what you want,” sighed Pierce.

            “Right, well, we’re both familiar with the accomplice theory—that our blind barbarian had someone working with him,” said Lucifer.

            “Yeah.” Pierce crossed his arms, and (Y/N) didn’t fail to notice the defensive gesture.

            “Right, well then, it occurred to me that what if the Sinnerman was the one working for someone else?” said Lucifer, a smirk on his face. “What if the man we arrested was the accomplice? What if the true man behind the Sinnerman was someone else?” He pulled the photo (Y/N) had stolen from his jacket pocket. “Exhibit A. Here is Mr. Sinnerman as a child. With a man that he seems very close to. Interesting birthmark. It’s a very similar shape to your military tattoo, actually, wouldn’t you agree?”

            Pierce’s jaw clenched. “So?”

            “Well, so it stands to reason that this man would be very, very old by now,” said Lucifer. “Or if he isn’t, he’d have to be—” he chuckled “—you know, immortal.”

            Pierce chuckled, but it was strained. “An immortal crime boss.” He put his hands on his hips. “Just like you’re the devil,” he said sarcastically.

            Lucifer let out a brief chuckle. “Yes, I know, it does sound absurd, doesn’t it? So, as such, there’s really only one way to prove my theory.” He leaned over the bar counter. “Right, (Y/N), look away.”

            (Y/N), realizing that Lucifer had to be dramatic confronting pierce, closed their eyes. Lucifer spun and stabbed Pierce in the chest. It would be a fatal blow for any human, and he let Pierce’s body hit the floor.

            (Y/N) opened their eyes and furrowed their brow distastefully. They were able to not go into a panic for the sole reason they knew Pierce was a crime boss and would stand up in a few moments. Still, their slight anxiety didn’t go unnoticed, and Lucifer reached and squeezed their shoulder. (Y/N) relaxed at the knowledge he was with them.

            They tensed as the body gasped suddenly and sat up. Pierce Cain groaned as he pulled the knife from his chest.

            Lucifer smirked. “The world’s first murderer. Marked by God and doomed to walk the Earth alone for a tortured eternity. It’s quite the moniker. Yet, still, nowhere near as ridiculous as the Sinnerman.”

            Cain stood, glaring down at the bloody knife in his hands.

            “You’re really name is much cooler,” said (Y/N). “Isn’t it, Cain?”

            Cain narrowed his eyes. For a moment, he seemed ready to lunge at them and Lucifer, and the shadows below him seemed to vibrate in readiness to protect their master, but Cain relaxed and just coughed and pressed his hand to his wound. He walked past them and grabbed several napkins to press to the still-bleeding wound in his chest. (Y/N) swallowed hard at the blood but steeled themself. They weren’t running away now.

            “Well, gosh, we have so much to catch up on, don’t we, Cain?” said Lucifer jovially, as if he hadn’t just stabbed him through the chest. “Or would you prefer Mr. Cain? Make it sound official?”

            “Let’s just stick with Pierce,” said Cain.

            “I don’t like people like you, so no,” said (Y/N).

            Cain glanced at them. “You found the pictures, didn’t you?” he realized.

            Lucifer smirked but stepped between them protectively. “They realized something about you was amiss. I was the one who identified you.” He cocked his head. “Why all the games, ‘Pierce?’ ” He would humor, even if only to get answers.

            “No games,” said Cain.

            “I think all the Sinnerman shit qualifies,” said (Y/N), rolling their eyes.

            “Next you’ll be claiming your appearance on my doorstep’s simply coincidence,” scoffed Lucifer.

            “No. I’m the one that had you knocked out and left in the desert,” said Cain honestly.

            “I see,” said Lucifer.

            “That’s all I did, though,” said Cain.

            “So you’re going to blame everything else on your eyeless stooge?” challenged Lucifer.

            “He wasn’t a stood. He was my right-hand man,” said Cain.

            “Until you shot him,” pointed out (Y/N). “You must be a great business partner.”

            “He went rogue,” said Cain, defending himself. “I have no idea why he did what he did. That’s why I had to take him out.”

            (Y/N) looked at him appraisingly. He didn’t seem to be lying, but they still wouldn’t trust him. He just felt off, and (Y/N) couldn’t shake the knowledge that he was a threat. Their guard remained up around him.

            Lucifer tossed more tissues and a few towels to Cain. “You know, for an immortal, you really do bleed a lot, don’t you?”

            “Yeah,” admitted Cain. “I’m still human. I still feel all the pain that comes with death. It’s just the wounds heal.”

            (Y/N) shivered. They remembered their near-death experience. It hadn’t been pleasant in any sense of the word. The cold had settled into their bones, and even these days, they still woke up occasionally, afraid and clutching themself, desperate to feel warm as the ghost of the freeze of death seemed to loom over them.

            “Sounds like a bitch,” said Lucifer, remaining playful but putting a hand on (Y/N)’s shoulder as he noticed their reaction. He too remembered the fear he had felt as they nearly died. The desperation that had filled him had been overwhelming, and Lucifer never wanted to see them anywhere near death like they had been then.

            “Yeah, well, I don’t have to tell you what sort of sick sense of humor your father has,” said Cain.

            “Which is why I’m surprised that you’re working with Him,” said Lucifer. Cain looked at him in confusion. “Well, there’s no sense denying it now,” said Lucifer coldly. “I know you gave me back my wretched wings. I know you took my devil face. So tell me, what did He offer you in return?”

            He didn’t mention (Y/N)’s abilities or wings. A small part of him wanted to make sure Cain didn’t know about them since it was possible it was slightly unintended, and then he would know their secret. That and a tiny part of him wasn’t completely sure Cain was involved with God, so Lucifer didn’t want to risk sharing what had happened with (Y/N).

            “I would never work for your father,” said Cain. “And I had nothing to do with your wings or your devil face.”

            “I don’t believe you,” said Lucifer.

            “I don’t care,” said Cain. “Now, after getting stabbed and killing the closest thing I had to a friend, I’ve had a long day.” He pushed past Lucifer.

            “Where do you think you’re going?” questioned Lucifer. He grabbed Cain. “You can’t just walk out on me.”

            “Or what? You’ll kill me?” scoffed Cain. He shoved Lucifer off him and walked away.

            “I’ll tell everyone who you really are,” said Lucifer.

            “Go ahead, they don’t even believe you’re the Devil.” And with that, Cain was gone.

            “Lucifer, what if he’s telling the truth?” asked (Y/N).

            Lucifer pursed his lips. It was a legitimate possibility, unfortunately. “Then he has a different reason to be here in LA.”

            “So what do we do?” questioned (Y/N). “I mean, we can’t just let him run around and not know what he’s up to.”

            Lucifer straightened. “Luckily for us, I work at the LAPD. I’ll figure it out.”

Sinnerman

Oh sinnerman where you gonna run to?

Word count: ~1.100 words

Character: priest!Jumin (and a small part with Seven and Vanderwood)

Feral Roots

This road trip was by far the worst Jumin had in a while. At first after a few hundred kilometers his motor overheated, then later that day one of his tires popped, forcing him to stop for a few more hours. It seems like he was running out of luck on his move to Babel - to a new beginning. With a new community, maybe it was just the right thing for him. To start anew after his friend’s death. Jihyun left a hole that no one would ever be able to fill again. Not even the love of god could fulfill this missing piece in his heart and it ached. A lot.

Now with the sunset hanging over the road, the street felt like it was never going to end, and he wondered if he would actually arrive before it'll be dark. (he didn’t )

The man with the raven black hair turned the radio on, listening to the song that came out of it. feral roots are calling you back home.

Yes, coming home, this was what Jumin yearned for, somewhere he could take root, a place to call home, a place to finally feel whole again.

When the young priest first sent out his application for this small town called Babel, he already knew he would be going there. Everything seemed to scream his name in the town he got to know through Jihyun, The trees, the grass and maybe, just maybe even the people too. It must have been destiny that he got accepted.

Arriving late in the evening not knowing where he would be sleeping that night wasn’t exactly how he planned his first day in Babel, but he didn’t want to spend another night sleeping in his car, as comfortable he was driving it, but sleeping in it was too much, Jumin needed a bed. With a sigh he drove on to the parking lot of the bar and jumped out of his vehicle.

Straightening his white tab collar while crossing the parking lot he entered the local bar. Hoping he would find somebody who could show him the way to his new home.

The moment he stepped through the door every pair of eyes settled onto the young man dressed in a black shirt with this white tab collar that just screamed “hey there, I’m a priest” and his black pants. Some folks began to whisper, asking the people around them if he was the new you-know-what.

Jumin shook his head, a nervous smile spreading on his face. It seems the people around here were quite sceptical of him and maybe his job too.

When he sat down at the counter he took another look around, when his eyes met with a pair of amber ones glancing through a quirky pair of glasses.

“New here, bro?” the young bartender asked with a smile playing around his lips.

“That’s father for you.” Jumin smiled back, quickly ordering a glass of water before his opponent opened his mouth again.

“Here you are.. daddy” he placed the water in front of him, and with a big smirk he joked “one glass of holy water, just for you.”

Jumin rolled his eyes and frowned.

“Just kidding, I’m sorry, sometimes I just can’t hold back. Anyways, what kind of business brings you to Babel this late at night?”

After explaining everything to him, the young bartender nodded and pointed his finger towards the door.

“ It’s just down the road, you’ll find it behind the church. Uhm. If you wait five minutes I can show you the way.”

Before screaming into the storage room of the bar the young man offered him another water which Jumin declined politely. Out of the storage room he heard something rustling, and while hissing several curses another young man stepped out into the light of the bar. This man put a cigarette behind his ear, crossing his arms before his broad chest. Staring back and forth at Jumin and his colleague.

“Sure thing, just leave me alone again. One day I won’t be able to come up with a story for our boss, you know? So watch out, Seven.”

“But I am now on a heaven sent mission, see?” He waved his hands dramatically in Jumin's direction. His dark eyes narrowed when he saw the ginger's gesture “Anyways, Thanks, Vanderwood.”

Seven hurried to collect his belongings and guided Jumin outside. The young priest offered him the passenger's seat, before letting himself fall into the driver’s seat. The motor purred and he turned onto the street, following the instructions of the bartender.

Babel sure wasn’t a big city but it was big enough to get lost, especially when you were new and Jumin was thankful for the help of this red haired guy next to him, who chatted about this and that.

Suddenly the young man seemed to realize he forgot something, he chuckled and clapped his hands, to get rid of this awkward situation.

“oh, uhm, Sorry, I didn't catch your name earlier.” Seven giggled, and rubbed his neck nervously, how come he forget to ask that?

“ My name is Jumin, Jumin Han.” the young priest introduced himself while holding onto the steering wheel.

After a small pause the ginger spoke again: “My name isn’t actually Seven, you know? That’s more of a nickname. You can call me Luciel, if you want to.”

Jumin chuckled, rubbing his chin softly. “What a familiar name. I think it suits you, and your ehm.. aura.” he smiled, his eyes still focusing on the street, but he was sure that he saw tears building up in the corner of Seven’s- no Luciel's- golden eyes. The guy dry swallowed and the tears disappeared as quickly as they came. Quickly looking up for a small hint from above Jumin wondered what his story was about. Maybe he'll find out some day. But not when his exhaustion was about to take over his body, not when he was this close to falling asleep. God, he really craved a bed.

When they arrived at the parish house, Jumin stopped the car. They both got out and wandered around the garden.

“Hey, you do have a key for it right?” Seven asked. Hoping they didn't have to break in. The other man nodded and searched his bag for said keys.

“Of course, I picked it up from the old father the other day, he seemed really nice, I wonder why so many people skipped Sunday service and everything else…” Jumin sighed, opening the door with his rustling keys.

After thanking Luciel again for his kindness and his help, he closed the door behind him, ready to quickly unpack his few belongings, the photographs of his deceased friend, and his family, amongst other things. The tour through the house quickly came to an end after he found the bed. Letting himself fall onto the mattress Jumin blacked out immediately, drifting off into the dreamlands, preparing for the beginning of a new adventure...

Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed this small part of an idea i had some time ago, it took me a lot of time to work on it, and let me tell you i have so many ideas for this one and hope i can update it soon! Each little part will be connected and/or named after a song and i'll try to link them for you (i hope it'll work out)

Lucifer 6x10 “Partners 'Til the End” Live Reaction'd

Preshow: I'm not ready, don't kill a happy ending, please be SUPERWHOLOCK, I'll never be ready, don't mess it up, please be SUPERWHOLOCK.

How is it there's only 53 minutes left in all of Lucifer EVER before I can no longer function for a week?

"She is the best of both of us." She's got bladed wings, WTH? How did they overpower her, Trixie's stranger-danger self defense?!

Deckerstar Tag team part 2, yes please.

Yep, remember last episode when Lucifer said "[Rory] none of this is your fault"? Actually, it's all your fault / you're the central domino of the mess like 50% of us thought you would be from the start. Wouldn't be surprised if they took her wings and made counter weapons from them.

Instant self fulfillment. Guess you get what you get in a 10 episode time crunch. Couldn't have happened to a nicer hellion.

Kudos to "my body is a cage" soundtrack. 10/10 for epic tracks.

Carrying a half angel baby should have some perks like healing right?

Rage devil face here we come #fatherdaughter grimace.

Definite "Lucifer Stop" don't kill the spider over Father Frank vibes when Lucifer holds Rory back.

Are you so sure about time travel Aurora? What makes you the expert after one jump anyway?

"When angels fall they also rise." First well played thing about this season, expanding purgatory and then lifting souls out of it. That's been purcalating on slow drip for six years. Samael, savior of lost souls, literal light bringer to those who deserve a second chance like he had.

"Give me your word." Cruel manipulative plot twist.

Oh, I didn't think walking through an empty LUX would gut me, but it's ripped my feels. Tickle the ivories once more for old times sake.

"I don't want to go." Again, classic Timelord. #nevertrustahug #ahughidesyourface

Alright, I really liked it when Chloe said "Lucifer close your eyes." That scene is beautiful, not for it's literalness or all the Deckerstar kisses, but for the way that humans make celestials better, the way that they can teach them to appreciate anew what they've done over millennia. Close your eyes, you can't see me but you can feel me, and I'll still be there. That's faith, what humans practice all the time and what celestials could do with reminding.

No more peasant robes for Amenadiel, can't heckle the grandpa style now, Bro. He looks GOoD!

CHARLIE GOT WINGS!!!!!!!! TERRIBLE TWOS THEY ARE NOT! Best part of season 6, imho. Boom!

Did they really have to show us Dan's pudding, seriously?! You have left so much to the imagination here some of which you really should have expanded on screen, you couldn't have just shown us him being happy — finally — and we could infer the rest. We had to see goofy pudding pose. Minor offense taken, you guys really emphasized the wrong beats in the script.

So they didn't include an older version of Trixie in the flash forward? Rags.

Till death do not we part. At least they got that right.

Haha, play me out sinnerman and 🎼♬♫♪♩ Put on the red light. ♬♫♪♩

♾️/10 DETECTIVES, because what's in a number really?

While I don't think I'll miss this season, I'll definitely miss this cast. Take a bow guys, you earned it. And you know what, they'd probably say the same. Take a bow if you're a Lucifan, we made it. We saved the devil, and he saved us.

In the words of an infamous Detective: it's been an honor and a privilege.

The Rewatch Academy: Episode 3 of Season 1

“Extra Ordinary”

I am in no way a good analyst so my little analysis and speculations probably sound a bit goofy or pretty wild and probably mean nothing at all. Everything I put into this post about each episode is purely what I noticed or thought, whether it's funny or serious. I will be making jokes, so please just leave it at that (in no way am I trying to make fun of an actor and or character!) I am also in no way saying I noticed this stuff first. This is just what I noticed while rewatching these episodes

☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ 

1x01 | 1x02 | 1x03 | 1x04 |

☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂

☂ First off I’d like to say that this is one of my favorite episodes of this season. It’s just soooo good

☂ The second comic book in the window features the Televator from the actual comics, so that has to be canon in the show! Also at the time that that second comic came out, Five had already left since we don’t see him on the cover

☂ It’d be cool if they actually printed Vanya’s book for fans to read

☂ Well Diego isn’t wrong when he called Hazel and Cha Cha animals because of their masks

☂ Honestly I feel Vanya’s struggle with chair placement. I’ve fortunately had the luck of playing in all three clarinet chair placements, but 1st chair is challenging. I personally found each placement very fun to play, especially 3rd, and I hope Vanya does too! (why am I talking like she’s real)

☂ Hazel talks about people living ordinary lives, but didn’t he live like that too at one point? How does The Commission recruit people? If they get ordinary people, do they wipe their memories of their previous lives?

☂ “Let’s see’em get out from behind their desks, get their hands dirty for once.” Well Hazel, Five does indeed do this even though he only had a desk job for a day. Still, he got to experience both worlds

☂ My mind is blanking on this, but how did Five get that cut on his arm? Was it from a bullet wound at Gimbel’s? 

☂ Five must have a high pain tolerance to stitch his own wound but his bandaid probably wouldn’t stick due to the wet blood he slapped it over. Five sweetie you need a cotton pad and gauze for that one

☂ Wait, you’re telling me that The Umbrella Academy boys’ top uniform consists of a tank top, a white dress shirt, a tie, a sweater vest, and then the blazer? Someone asked Reginald what he wanted for the uniforms and he just said “Yes.”

☂ Five: *puts hands in pockets only to immediately take them out*

☂ Aidan almost sounds like he has an accent when he says “I'm done funding your drug habit.” 

☂ Five’s so soft talking to his wife

☂ No Leonard, your bread and butter is being a creep

☂ Also, he thinks wood carving is embarrassing? If someone came up to me and showed me something they carved out of wood I would be so jealous cause it’s such a neat form of art

☂ Leonard saying that he carved wood, and in that case wooden figures, when he was a kid is a slight foreshadow of all of his tampering with his Umbrella Academy figures. He can make wooden figures but he’s also destroyed a handful of the Hargreeves figures 

☂ “Never really did like The Beatles.” Well sir you’ve made me dislike you even more

☂ Vanya asking Allison if her siblings wanted her at the family meeting bugs me a bit. I absolutely get that she was literally left out of anything and everything that had to do with her siblings when she was younger, but Allison just asked her to come back home for a family meeting. Allison wouldn't have walked around looking for Vanya only to tell her that they were having a family meeting and that she wasn’t actually invited. Allison is including her in on a family meeting but Vanya is just in a bit of disbelief that she’s being included

☂ Ah yes, the only PTSD flashback for Five we see in the show! He looks so scared when he snaps out of it. I believe it was somehow triggered by the kids (I could be wrong) but do you think Five sometimes panics when he looks at himself in the mirror now since his body is the same age it was when he got stuck? Also it’s very subtle but when Luther opens the door, Five slightly jerks/flinches back. I wish we would see more of this in the show since it’s one of his major traumas

☂ “Does it matter? It’s Klaus.” Ouch! Well Five I hope you know that your siblings are somewhat thinking the same thing since they believe that you’ve lost your mind and are practically an old man crying “Apocalypse!” 

☂ Five does an ever so slight huff and smirk when Luther tells him that the meeting at the Academy is important. He finds it a little funny but so frustrating in his mind that Luther doesn’t know what’s truly important

☂ Also I love that Aidan has to turn to the side so that he can keep it together after Klaus talks about his chocolate pudding waxing. Either that or he’s portraying Five as being frustrated and in disbelief. Also this is the first time I’ve noticed that he says “Ay, ay ay...” 

☂ “We’re all you have. And you know it.” Oh Luther, you’re failing to see that that’s why he’s acting like this right now. He’s all frantic and crazed about trying to stop the apocalypse so that he can protect and save all that he has

☂ Five certainly is mad at Luther during his mini lecture. He’s clenching his jaw tightly and when he first speaks he hisses out the words through gritted teeth. He even called Luther by his number. He’s very impatient at this point and doesn’t care for Luther’s act of attempting to be a leader

☂ This is their first, and certainly not last, time watching Klaus go by in front of them doing something he shouldn’t be doing

☂ “You haven’t been home in a long time, Vanya.” Sir you were also just on the moon for four years. Yeah Vanya was away for a long time but Grace easily could have changed too during the four years you were gone

☂ How sweet, even though Five hasn’t really been home they want to include him in on the family vote :]

☂ I’ve noticed that in S1 that David really mumbles his lines. A lot

☂ I wish we got more flashbacks of the younger Umbrellas

☂ Diego my beloved mama’s boy ♥️

☂ It’s confusing as to which country TUA takes place in, but it’s really not supposed to be a specific one. It’s portrayed as being in North America, but you can see behind Cha Cha when she gets out of the car at the Academy the flag of the RAF, which Canada would have at a monument since it’s a Commonwealth country. At the same time though Delores came from Gimbels, which was a department store chain across the U.S

☂ The light above Five’s portrait is slightly crooked, which probably means no one has really been paying attention to it

☂ It makes me nervous that Klaus wipes bubbles onto his face. It looks like he got some in his eyes

☂ Ugh I love the whole scene of Hazel and Cha Cha walking around the Academy with “We’re Through” playing

☂ Diego: *has knives but instead chooses to punch and hit Hazel to try to make him let go of Allison”

☂ A rope-a-dope is a boxing tactic of pretending to be trapped against the ropes, goading an opponent to throw tiring ineffective punches. Diego sweetie Hazel wasn’t even trying to get you off of him all he was doing was choking Allison. The only person who got tired was probably you

☂ What’s the point in Diego yelling “Luther, go!” if he’s already going 💀

☂ Luther was there immediately when Hazel attacked Vanya. That means that Luther heard Vanya and was going to go get her to safety

☂ I will never stop signing my praise for the entirety of the “Sinnerman” fight scene(s). It gives me chills every single time. Easily one of the best scenes in all of the show

☂ Klaus must really have his music blasting if he can’t hear the gun shots right next to him

☂ I’ve always wondered if Allison actually registered in her mind that “The boy” is Five when Cha Cha says that’s who they’re looking for. Either she does realize that’s Five, is simply just angry that those two are looking for a boy, or registers in her mind that it’s Five through his superhero codename even though Cha Cha’s not referring to him in that way

☂ Diego is full on just standing in the background watching Allison get beat up by Cha Cha 🕴

☂ I love Diego’s little hand flap when he gets hit in the hand fighting Cha Cha

☂ Okay so I make everything about Five, but the whole Cha Cha fight scene with Allison and then Diego kind of scares me. Cha Cha and Hazel are both amazing assassins (they’re both probably right below Five) and neither Allison nor Diego could stop her by themselves. Could you imagine Five fighting one of his siblings? Especially with his spatial jumps? We already got a glimpse of his true combat skills when he fights Lila in S2. What a scary little old man

☂ “Vanya, get out of here!” Again, wanting to make sure that Vanya is safe and gets away. He even tried to go look for her

☂ Something I don’t really get about the Hazel and Luther fight is why doesn’t Luther just overpower him? Luther has super strength and on top of that he has giant muscles due to the gorilla DNA. Shouldn’t he be able to beat Hazel to a pulp? Maybe we have to consider that Hazel might have been altered by The Commission to be stronger and more durable, but they haven’t mentioned that in the show

☂ “Ah, you gotta cut down on that fast food, soldier.” What are you talking about Diego he literally just got off the moon two days ago aflksjfdk

☂ So Luther was too injured to jump out of the way of the chandelier but was able to push it up off of himself? 🤔

☂ I personally think that Luther’s body design adaptation for the show is really cool and that they gave him the perfect amount of bulk without making him look ridiculous

☂ This has been pointed out before, but cross-stitch foreshadowing, baby 

☂ Again, Diego my beloved mama’s boy ♥️

☂ Well at least Diego thought about Vanya dying before thinking about his siblings dying because of her. The latter is ironic!

☂ The clock above Luther’s mirror reads approximately 1:30 am. Hazel and Cha Cha didn’t want to wait until morning

☂ I wonder how different it would be if Five was present at the Academy when Hazel and Cha Cha attacked. He probably would have surrendered himself to them, but it's fun to entertain the idea that he would go apeshit if he knew that they were harming his family in order to find him
