#lilith bonds really quickly with him I think

[staticymaticyyourlifeisatravesty]

I feel I should put this here, that Lilith and Sanguinius had a great relationship and he was an excellent father before the Emperor came. It was just after the Emperor showed up that things started to go downhill from there, especially once Sanguinius reunited with his legion.

I don't think Sanguinius at first even realized just how different Lilith's blood thirst was to that of the blood angels/revenant and had treated it the same way he did theirs. As a result Lilith ended up getting a lot of Sang's insecurities by accident, as well as a few of her own because suddenly in this new place, her mutations aren't as accepted as they were with the blood. It's also a part of why she took so long to reach her full height/ had such a long adolescence. She wasn't feeding as she needed which caused her to become rather weak, and sickly.

Probably during this time, Sanguinius wasn't very able to notice that was something was horrifically wrong because like Sanguinius, Lilith is very good at hiding things if she doesn't want it known, along with the fact she started wearing veils around the same time she stopped drinking blood, or rather stopped drinking it as often as she should have been. Really she was only drinking enough to keep herself from falling into a coma. Probably wasn't that good of a fighter and likely some Luna Wolves noticed that she was weaker, but didn't know how to approach it.

Meanwhile the Emperor was using her to see if it was possible to get her to not be able to drink blood, or if it could be used to control her. Which is how she ended up in a coma for nearly six months and also when it was realized she was growing far more feathers then usual. I imagine it wasn't until Jaghatai came along that things really changed because Jag just saw a young teen suffering and nothing more. Like I imagine he asked her to remove her veil and when she did, he saw just how sickly she looked. He may not have understood much gothic at the time, but he definitely almost immediately tried to bring her back with him.

He's also the one to make Sanguinius fully realize that something was really fucking off. Sanguinius kind of knew, but the Emperor had pretty much been placating him by saying that He was taking care of her. Suffice to say he was not and Sanguinius was both not happy at all, and blaming himself because he should have known something was wrong.

Jaghatai is pretty much responsible for the woman Lilith became. He basically became her new mom, because even though he was just learning how the Imperium worked and getting used to his new status, he was not going to just stand by and allow Lilith to continue on. Or Sanguinius for that matter. She really started blossoming underneath both him and Sanguinius. Probably earns himself the nickname of Ibu, which is mom.

There's particular reason why I choose Jag for it, it could have easily been Vulkan considering Vulkan was found before Sanguinius. However, Jaghatai feels like he has the most common sense of his brothers and he's also from a nomadic tribe like Lilith. Also the most likely to not take Emps at his word, aside from maybe Corvus. (I realize Sang is probably also in this category but the man believed Emps when he said that He didn't kill Amara even tho he 100% did, so Jaghatai gets to be the one with the braincell, because Corvus is one of the last to be found)

✨Feathers✨

Hey hey hey, I’m back! Took a tiny break but I had another idea for a spicy Luci scenario! But this one is super tender cuz Luci needs some TLC like nobody's business! 🥺

This turned out a little more dom!reader then initially planned but I'm happy about it

Big thank you to some of the anons I received for the ideas! I very much appreciate everyone who's given anything I've written their love!

Lucifer x f!sinner reader

Summary: Lucifer's wings are not in the greatest shape, you offer to help clean them...

Warnings: 18+, smut, handjob, oral (m & f receiving), p in v, cockwarming, dom!reader and sub!lucifer if you squint

It had been a pretty quiet day in house. Lucifer was off with his daughter Charlie for the day, they’ve had quite a bit of father/daughter bonding to catch up on. But this gave you the chance to work on something that you’ve been wanting to make for some time now. It was a secret project, keeping things from Lucifer was harder than it seemed. But with the home to yourself, you were finally able to finish the gift you wanted to give him! Just as you were admiring your work, a portal opened up behind you; Lucifer was back! Quickly, you hid his gift under your pillow before he could see anything. Lucifer stepped through the portal and into your bedroom; you noticed his wings spread out behind him.

“Hi, honey,” you greeted as you walked over to him, planting a small peck on his forehead. He smiled, grabbing your hand and placing a kiss on it in return. “How was your day with Charlie?”

“It was really nice! We went for a little flight, as you can tell,” he laughed, gesturing to his wings. Lucifer’s wings always left you in awe, you couldn’t help but stare at them. But upon further inspection, you saw that they seemed a little worse for wear. You wondered when the last time they were properly taken care of, since you've never seen him actually do anything with them.

“Hey Luci, your wings are looking a little…” you hesitated, looking for the right word, “disheveled. Is everything alright?”

"Ahh," Lucifer sighed, "yeah, I uhh...I'll admit, I haven't paid them much attention. Not in a long while."

You knew that he had been by himself for a long time before you came along. He had mentioned his battles with self isolation and depression that he had fought against for years, but he was never too keen on going into more detail than necessary. Looking back, it would make sense as to why his wings are in the state that they are. It saddened you, you wished you could have been there for him. It was time to make up for that.

"How about this," you proposed, "why don't I run us a bath and I'll help you clean them up. How does that sound?"

"O-Oh, are you sure?," he questioned, failing to hide the fact that his cheeks were now flushed. "They're kind of a pain, I don't want you to-" you cut off his protests with a peck. You felt his lips curl into a smile.

"Nothing's a pain when it comes to you, Lucifer," you assured. "Go get ready and I'll see you in a few minutes, alright? Tonight, let me take care of you."

"Of course," he grinned, "thank you, my angel."

*** Lucifer saw you smile and make your way to the bathroom that was connected to your bedroom. As soon as the door closed, he let out a long sigh. It really had been years since he’s taken care of his wings. It was a lot easier when there was someone there to help. When Lilith left, it became a much more daunting task. He began to undo his button up shirt, tossing it onto the bed and moved on to undoing his belt. But suddenly, he stopped once the buckle had been unhooked. Shit, he thought to himself, realizing he’d forgotten how sensitive his wings were, my wings being touched are drive me insane! I don’t think I’ll be able to keep it together, especially not after years of just letting them go! He sucked in a few deep breaths and continued removing the belt from his pants. It’s fine, it’s fine…as long as I don’t make a noise or turn around. Just focus, Lucifer. For Satan’s sake, you’re the king of Hell!

Lucifer undid his zipper, letting his pants and boxers drop to the floor and kicking them off to the side. Unfortunately, he could already feel the blood rushing between his legs in anticipation. No, no, no!, he scolded himself, we’re not doing this. We’re getting our wings washed and we’re going to bed! I’m not letting this turn into anything other than a nice bath! She CANNOT think I’m just some touch starved pervert! I’m not! He inhaled deeply and ran his fingers through his hair, trying his best to calm down. After a minute, he made his way to the bathroom, placing his hand on the knob.

“I’m so fucked,” he whispered to himself before slowly opening the door.

*** It was fortunate that Lucifer had such a spacious home, that meant a more spacious bathroom as well. His bathtub could easily fit four people comfortably, but this at least gave you room to be able to work with his wings. You turned the water on to a nice warm temperature, making sure it wasn't too hot. You undressed as the bathtub began to fill, grabbing a soft washcloth from the closet and bubble bath soap after discarding your clothes. Once the tub was half full, you poured the soap in, letting it mix with the running water. The bubbles appeared fast, you couldn't see that water anymore after a few seconds. Finally, you brought the flow to a stop and dipped your toes in to test that waters. Perfect. You stepped in and slowly began to sink down into the warm liquid that heated your core. Lucky for you, his tub had seats along the sides so you could sit comfortably instead of sinking to the bottom! As soon as you were submerged just below your shoulders, you heard the bathroom door creaking behind you.

"Knock, knock!," Lucifer joked, hitting the already opened door with his knuckles. You chuckled as he closed the door behind him. Not that it was a new sight to you, but his naked figure never ceased to make you blush, as if he were perfectly sculpted. You shook your head, trying your best to focus on his face and not let your eyes wander anywhere else.

"Alright, let's see what we're working with," you stated, prompting Lucifer to conjure his wings once more. As you looked them over, you could tell it would take a little bit of time to clean them properly, but you were more than willing to help. You shifted over to the edge of the tub and offered Lucifer your hand. Smiling, he took hold as you guided him into the water with you. He sat down next you, turning his back so you could start working on his neglected feathers.

"Thank you for this," he spoke softly as you took the washcloth and began to work on his first set of wings. "I really don't deserve it, or you..."

"Luci, don't say that," you cut in, "I love you, and I want to help you. I'll always be here, I promise."

You heard him hum in response. He had a lot more feathers than you originally thought. You wanted to take your time, combing through every feather from his first set as they were the largest. You moved your attention down to his second set of wings after a few minutes. You were both quiet for a while as you continued your ministrations, running the washcloth thoroughly through each of his feathers, ridding them of any dirt. However, the sound of Lucifer's breathing becoming heavier with each passing minute did not go unnoticed by you. Wings were very sensitive areas after all. A tiny smile crept on your face. You had finally moved on to his last set of wings. They would be the easiest to take care of since they were the smallest, but you wanted to test your suspicions before you finished.

"Almost done," you hummed, "you doing alright?"

"YEAH, yeah," Lucifer answered almost too loudly, "I-I'm fine."

"That's good," you responded, gripping his feathers with just a little bit more force than necessary. You heard a small whimper escape Lucifer's throat, his hand shooting out of the water to cover his mouth. Bingo. "You sure you're alright, hon?"

"M-Mhmm," Lucifer mumbled into his palm.

"All clean," you purred, causing Lucifer's wings to disappear in a flash.

Lucifer stood up a little too fast trying to exit the tub, his back still towards you. "Thank you love, I really really appreciate you doing that for me, but I'm kind of tired so I'm gonna-" You didn't let him finish his sentence, grabbing onto his hips and pulling him into your lap, causing a large splash. "D-Darling, what are you doing?"

"And where do you think you're going?" you questioned, letting your hands run down his hips and towards his thighs. You heard Lucifer's breath hitch as your hands roamed dangerously close to his hard on. "What's the matter, baby? Were you hoping I wouldn't notice that you were getting turned on by all my touching? How cute."

You let your hand wander until you finally gripped his hardened cock. Lucifer could only let out a strangled yelp. All too pleased, you began to stroke his cock at an agonizingly slow pace. Lucifer tried to buck up at your touch, but your other arm was wrapped around his abdomen, keeping him flush to your chest. He wasn’t going anywhere.

“Now why would you try to hide this from me, Luci?,” you teased him as you began peppering kisses along the back of his neck.

“Hhng…I-I’m sorry, love,” he swallowed, “it…shit…it’s embarrassing. I shouldn’t h-have had that reaction while you were…ffffuuucckk…” He completely trailed off, only being able to focus on your movements. You had only picked up your pace slightly since you started, you wanted to make this last as long as possible. But unfortunately, you could feel your own arousal start to pulse between your legs. Without warning, you let go off his cock, causing to Lucifer to whimper at the loss of your hand. You swiftly stood up and hooked your arm under his legs, carrying him bridal style out of the tub. He looked up at you with a mixture of shock and arousal. Once you were fully out of the tub, you placed him onto the white marble floor.

"Stay," you commanded. Lucifer held his arms down at his sides, completely immobile. You sauntered over to the rack and grabbed the two fresh towels hanging there. After opening the bathroom door, you dried off your soaking body as quickly as you could before making your way back over to Lucifer with the other towel in hand. You patted his hair down first, then moved to his face and shoulders, working it down to his chest and stomach. You avoided touching the area he needed you to touch the most and finally finished by drying off his legs. "Get ready," you told him as you stood up straight once more. Before he could respond, you scooped him up in your arms again with the towel placed underneath him. You couldn't help but smile down at him once you say how flushed his face had gotten. You effortlessly carried your lover into the bedroom and placed him down on the edge of the bed. You took the towel and placed it on the floor, giving your knees some much needed cushion from the hard wooden floor.

"Sweetheart, p-please," Lucifer said, finally finding his voice again, "you don't have to-" You gently wrapped your fingers around the base of his cock, cutting him off mid-sentence. He could only yelp in response.

"I told you that I would take care of you tonight, did I not?" you replied with a coy smile. "That's exactly what I intend to do."

You lowered your head and gently pressed your lips to the head of his cock which was already covered in precum. Your tongue circled the tip, causing Lucifer to grip the sheets beneath him, not being able to focus on anything else. You relaxed your jaw, forcing your mouth down onto his shaft as far as you could manage. You didn't want to choke, after all! You absolutely adored the sounds leaving Lucifer's lips, desperate moaning and incoherent babbling. You quickened your pace, your hot mouth leaving trails of saliva down your hand. You felt Lucifer's legs begin to shake.

"L-Love," he choked out, "if you don't stop, I'm g-gonna...FUCK!" You didn't stop bobbing your head up and down. If anything, it only made you work faster. You felt his hands reach out to your shoulders, seemingly trying to push you away, but he wasn't trying very hard if that was the case. You refused to budge. "OHFUCKME," was the last thing he could mutter before his orgasm hit him, spilling his hot seed into your mouth. It was salty, but not unpleasant. You kept your mouth firmly on his cock as he rode out his high. You felt him soften in your mouth and you finally removed yourself from him with a *pop*. You caught some of his cum on your finger that had leaked from your mouth, licking it clean. Lucifer caught you doing so and buried his face in his hands.

“You’re going to kill me one of these days, darling,” he mumbled.

You chuckled, pulling his hands away to see his bright yellow eyes staring back at you. “I don’t think I have that kind of power!"

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you before," Lucifer sighed, "my wings are very...sensitive to say the least. I completely forgot about it until it was too late. I thought I could tough it out, but umm, that's clearly not what ended up happening. I didn't want you to think I was some maniac who couldn't control himself..."

You brought your hand up to his cheek, caressing it softly with your thumb. He closed his eyes and leaned into your touch. " You don't have to apologize to me, Luci, it's alright," you comforted. "Besides, seeing you so worked up is extremely hot!"

"Pfft!" Lucifer laughed, picking up on your attempt to lighten the mood. "Well, I'm glad you think so! I was dying the entire time in there!"

You smiled at him and got up from your kneeled position." Do you feel better now? Got it all out of your system?”

"Not quite," he breathed.

As if to take revenge from your stunt from earlier, Lucifer grabbed you by the hips and pulled you on top of him. "HEY!," you protested, but it was already too late; your cunt that's been aching for attention was now perfectly hovered over Lucifer's maniacal grin. Without warning, he pulled your legs down towards him and began to lick up your folds vigorously. His tongue attacking your clit with every lap he took. Your arms gave out almost immediately, forcing you onto your elbows to keep yourself propped up while the dirtiest moans filled the room. "Fuck...Fuck Luci, you feel s-so good...SHIT!," you cried out. His forked tongue worked at your sensitive nub relentlessly, causing the pit in your stomach to tighten. You weren't going to last much longer at this rate, he was too good and he knew it. Every time he ate you out, he always acted like a starving man who would never taste you again. It only took a few more nibbles at your clit before your walls spasmed uncontrollably, cumming hard against his tongue. He hummed in approval as he helped you ride out your orgasm, swallowing every drop of you. You managed to crawl away from him and plopped chest down on your mattress.

"You're insatiable, aren't you, Lucifer?," you teased, still trying to catch your breath.

"And you're irresistible, aren't you, my angel?" Lucifer joked back. He sat up straight against the pillows next to where your head laid. You couldn't help but notice that he was rock hard again. It filled you with pride to know just how much tasting you on his lips could illicit such a response. A thought popped into your head at that moment, your lips forming into a devious smile. You weren't going to let him have the last word. He was done for.

You pushed yourself up from your prone position and straddled Lucifer's lap, leaning down and crashing your lips into his. He moaned into your kiss, licking across your bottom lip, almost like he was begging you for access. You opened your mouth wide and felt his tongue slip past your lips, deepening your kiss. To his dismay, you pulled away from him, panting and breathless. You lined up your entrance with his cock, sinking down onto him in one quick motion. Both of you moaned at the sensation, feeling his cock twitch inside of you. Lucifer eagerly started to buck his hips into you, but you had other plans. You let the rest of your upper body weight fall onto his hips, rendering him immobile.

"Wh-what are you doing?," Lucifer whined as he tried desperately to rut up into you to no avail. "Please...please, need to move...."

You adored him in this state, begging and pleading for you to let him chase his release. "Teaching you a lesson," you grinned, shifting your hips every so slightly and making him bury his head into the crook of your neck.

"PLEASE! Please, I'll do anything!" Lucifer begged, his breathing becoming more and more labored. "Whatever you want!"

"I want you to promise me something, Luci," you cooed, placing your hand under his chin and lifting his head to meet your gaze. "Promise me that you'll come to me if you need help from now on. And in return, I'll promise you that I'll always be there whenever you need me. Do we have a deal?"

Tears welled up in his eyes at your words and the lack of stimulation. He buried his head into your chest, wrapping his arms around you. "YesyesyesIpromiseIpromiseIwill," he sobbed. You smiled and kissed the top of his head, his blond hair brushing against your face.

"That's my good boy," you praised. You decided to end his torment by lifting your hips and slamming back down on his cock at a break neck pace. His wanton moans went straight to your core, you knew another orgasm was fast approaching. He bucked his hips up into you, his cock hitting your G spot just right with every thrust.

"So close...sososoclose," Lucifer whimpered in your ear.

"L-Let go, baby," you choked out in your cock drunken state, "c-cum in me, Luci, pleasepleasePLEASE!"

Lucifer leaned down and bit into your shoulder, muffling his cries as it only took him a few more thrusts before spilling his seed into you. His bite pushed you over the edge as well, pulsating around his leaking cock. You both took a minute to come down from your highs, neither of you wanting to pull apart. At last, you pulled yourself up and out of Lucifer's lap and completely collapsed next to him. You reached over the edge of the bed and picked up the towel from earlier, handing it to Lucifer so he could clean himself up. You were about to fall asleep when you remembered something important.

"OH!," you shouted, startling Lucifer a little bit. "I almost forgot! I made you something!" You reached under your pillow where you had hid his gift from earlier. You pulled out a small duckling keychain with the words "My Little Duckling" beneath it. You passed it to Lucifer who cupped it in his hands, staring at it like it was made of diamonds.

"You...you made this...for me?," he stammered, completely enamored with his present. He clenched his fist around it and held it up to his heart. "I...I love it so much, darling! This is the best gift I've ever received! I'll cherish this forever! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" He pulled you in for the tightest hug he's ever given you while peppering small kisses all over your face. You giggled and managed to capture his lips before he could get another peck in.

"I'm really happy you like it," you smiled. "We'll figure out where you can hang it in the morning, yeah?"

"I'd love nothing more, my dear" Lucifer grinned. "But for now, let's get some sleep, shall we."

You nodded and yawned in agreement. You shifted yourself flush against Lucifer's chest, letting his arms wrap around you. You felt his tail wrap around you leg right before you lost consciousness, letting you know he would never let you go.

IT'S FUCKING DONE BABY, LET'S GOOOOOOOO

[gravity-is-fallingdown]

Short King × Tall Dark and Akward

Shipping ramblings below the cut.

Initially my instincts were these two wouldn't work. Or wouldn't have much chemistry. But the more I thought about it, the more I think it could work under the right circumstances.

We know Stolas likes a short King. And that is Lucifer's whole thing. He's also ridiculous. Man could not hold his air of superior nonchalance for five minutes in front of his daughters friends.

My hc for Lucifer's type is tall dark and attractive.

Stolas' got all of that and can pull off regal grace much like Lilith. But he's an awkward dork at heart and I think Lucifer'd find that refreshing.

They're both intensely passionate about their special interests and could go on for hours.

They're both sad single dads so tons to bond over there. Or drink to.

An idea for how they might meet:

Lucifer needs help with some contracts for the Hotel or maybe help with paperwork that he's been neglecting for Decades- he's trying to get his shit together for Charlie. He laments his woes to a certain Sin who mentions he recently had a contract fiasco that this Goetia really helped him out with. And all of a sudden, Stolas is being summoned by the Big Boss himself.

They're both too stiff, formal and akward at first forcanything to really happen, but between Lucifer bending over backwards to help Charlie and the MASSIVE amount of paperwork they end up spending a lot of time together and those professional barriers quickly break down ( either naturally of because Charlie senses friendship material for her Dad and meddles).

I imagine Stolas would catch feelings 1st, but Lucifer would have to be the one to make a move.

Being Lucifer's main squeeze would kinda solve Stolas' divorce issues, but would probably cause a whole host of other problems they'd have to work through. The rumor mill would be Brutal, but mostly because neither of them would want the attention. The goeita would assume this is a social climbing thing on Stolas' part. They'd respect the power play & wouldn't understand that's not at ALL why Stolas and Lucifer got together. They'd also be super jealous.

Paimon would probably have some backhandedly supportive comment for Stolas like: " If you're going be a sissy b*tch, at least it's for the Ruler of all Hell." Or " it's not gay if it's a SIN. Any self respecting goetia would bend over for Lucifer".

ʚïɞ "such a savior" LH44

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀lewis hamilton x original female oc.

summary: in witch lilith is mid-breakdown with the worst man around but luckily, she has her fiancée and little sister.

warnings: a bitch of a dad, bad parenting, age gap (character is 24 although it isn't mentioned), mentions of psychological and physical abuse, description of needles and medical procedures without any proper knowledge. just pure sad angst and hurt but i am planning to write a part 2 out of this.

"Hey, Lewis. I didn't mean to bother you, and I know you're working, but... are you too busy now? Like... very, very, very busy?"

The Mercedes driver took a breath, standing in front of the gym mirror. He rested his spare hand on his waist and furrowed his eyebrows. A call from his fourteen-year-old sister-in-law was never expected and always a worry, but especially today, it was a sign to leave work.

"What happened, Sab? I'm heading home, don't worry. Is everything okay with Lili?"

He knew it wasn’t. He knew getting her dad to visit them in Monaco was a terrible idea, and he saw the hints his girlfriend gave. Her childhood was tough because of that man, and he knew it would be hard for Lilith, from the way she wanted to make sure the whole house was clean, to the way she wanted to take down all the glass decorations.

"Hum... Ye-yeah, I called the doctor you told me to, she's okay. Just come home, alright? She wants you here."

Damn, he hated that man. But Lili wanted to prove to her family that she was okay, that she and her soon-to-be husband had a good life, and Lewis respected that. Well, now he’s speeding home like there’s a Red Bull car right behind him.

"I'm on my way, Sab. Is she hurt? Did something happen? I really need to know, is your dad around?"

Lewis heard a deep breath as the phone rested on the passenger seat. He regretted giving in to this idea; this visit should have been a dinner thing with a quick goodnight. Tony, the father-in-law, was a monster with his words and even worse with his hands.

"They had a little fight, and I think something fell in the kitchen. You know she hates blood, so... yes. But she won’t let the doctor give her medicine, and Dad is mad, so... I’m kind of lost. I called you because of that."

"You did the right thing, bub. I’m nearby, okay? Do you mind staying on the phone with me?"

"No, not at all. That’s great, actually. Do you want me to... to talk to Dad?"

"No! No need to. I’m really close, I just want you to stay with me in case something happens and we need to be quick, don’t worry. I like talking to you."

Lili's sister and Lewis had a nice bond. Lewis, being great with kids and a sympathetic softie with everyone, quickly won her over. He knew things weren’t easy for her either. Maybe too young to understand, the couple had only been able to offer a little support to the young girl since her sister left home two years ago.

With a few more words and minutes, the driver arrived home, climbing up the stairs and feeling the thick, heavy air as soon as he stepped inside, almost as if he could touch the tension.

"No! No, I don’t need that! I don’t, I promise I don’t! Tell Lewis to come over! He knows I don’t need any of that!"

Her sobs cut through her words and then right through the man's chest, a striking pain as he approached the living room and hung up the phone, pocketing the device as he entered.

Lili had her face covered in tears, a desperate look in her eyes as her father held both of her arms down on the bed. In the last few seconds before Lewis could touch the man’s shoulder and pull him away with little to no effort, the man stumbled backward, surprised by the sudden intervention but not resisting.

"Lew! Hey, Lew. Hey. You’re home." she let out a high sigh, touching her fiancé’s face as if she just wanted to make sure he was real, that there was a hint of peace. "Hey, hey. Can you... can you tell the doctor I’m okay? I don’t... I don’t need any medicine, I’m just fine."

She kept insisting on that. She could run a mile screaming she was fine because it was almost automatic, what she had said throughout her whole life. Never wanting to be a bother, never meaning harm, Lili could take a beating and hide all the hurt from the one who caused it. She’s just like that.

Now there’s blood trickling from the side of her forehead, near her scalp and down her ear. God, how he wants to ask what happened.

"Baby, you’re bleeding," he said softly, very careful with his tone. "Can you take a breath for me? A big, deep one. Just breathe, okay? I know you’re fine."

Lewis had learned how to calm his girl down over the years. She just needed to feel safe and in control, two things she never had in life. And that made him really mad about the other man in the room, but he was mature enough to slow down and focus on Lili. She needed to calm down and let the medication take effect.

"Baby, I don’t... don’t need anything, I promise you I don’t. Tell her to go away."

And injectables were another part of the problem. Her dad was an addict, she saw some ugly stuff, and now she was too terrified to go near a needle. Lewis knew that.

"It’s just some painkillers, Lili. I promise. You have to take them to feel better, and in the meantime, we’ll treat your injury, okay? We’ll fix everything." He softly touched the bleeding skin, suddenly angry at how he could see she wanted to avoid his approach but would never show it. "Okay? You can hold onto me if you want to."

"No. No. I don’t want to. I really don’t. I don’t want to, I promise I don’t need anything! I can handle myself, and if I can’t... you’ll do it! You won’t hurt too much. Do it. If you have to, do it. But don’t let them put anything in me."

Then things got out of control. Lili didn’t notice the doctor had managed to put the heart monitor on her finger, and she only realized it when the beeps became too fast. Something sticky on her back, a harsh pain in her chest, and her body unable to stay still.

"She’s panicking, Sir Hamilton. I’ll proceed with the medication, okay? She’s collapsing."

"No! Lew! No, NO! You know what you have to do! I can calm down! I can, I don’t need to do any of this! I just need to... I just need to be put in place! I promise I won’t even cry."

Lili clung to his shirt like her life depended on it, and Lewis wondered how the man behind them might be feeling. That’s it, his daughter was on the verge of collapsing and asking to be hit —that’s how she learned life should be, and it was no surprise to Lewis.

Not the first time she expected him to snap.

"I recommend you hold her, sir. It won’t be easy, but it won’t hurt, and she’ll calm down right away. It’s for the best."

"NO! Lewis. Lew, please! Please. Just do it, I’ll get better. Don’t let them—"

"Hey, Lili. Baby, look at me." He tried to calm down, cupping her face in his hands and glancing quickly at the doctor, asking her to wait. "I will never hurt you, ever. I won’t raise a hand against you. I promise. I won’t ever do it, no matter what. I am so sorry for this."

She thought it was an apology for what he just said, but it took a few seconds until she was trapped in his arms, struggling to break free, breath stuck, and air leaving without any intention of returning. A few more fighting seconds until a sharp pain in her arm. Confusion, then nothing.

"It’s for the best, baby. Okay? You’ll get better." His voice was almost a whisper, cracking and low. "Shhhh.. I’ll be right here, okay? I’ll be here."

Her body gave up fighting right away. Lewis only had to adjust her head a little, positioning her better, fixing her hair and her shirt immediately.

"Fuck," he murmured, closing his eyes as he leaned back, forcing the tears to stay in his eyes.

"I know it’s hard," the doctor said. "But you did the right thing. Her heart was too fast, and she’s still losing blood. Can you lay her down, please? I’ll take care of her."

"Please, be careful. Please," he kept his voice low, holding his girl with all the care in the world as he laid her back, head on the pillow and her hair out of the way.

That’s a big bruise; it’s turning darker than her skin.

"It’s okay. She’s okay; it’s just a bruise. She’s just off mentally."

Lewis stood up, kissed his girl on the head, and fixed his shirt by the shoulders, eyes searching for Sab, who he hadn’t spoken to since he hung up the call.

"Hey, bug. Thank you for calling, okay? Lili is fine now, thanks to you." He ruffled the little girl’s hair, who was nervously waiting by the door.

"It’s okay."

"Yeah. You’re staying the night, alright? Go to your room and order something for us to eat. Vegan, don’t forget."

Sabrina smiles softly and agrees, turning around to head down the hallway. Yeah, now things are getting serious.

"You got Lilith, and now you're going after Sabrina? Very fun, Sir Lewis Hamilton."

"No reason to laugh." the Sir Lewis Hamilton approached his father-in-law. "That's enough of you. It's completely enough. Get your fucking things and leave my house. Leave our lives, leave your children alone. They don't need you."

"Shut the fuck up, little man. What the fuck do you know about what my children need?"

"I know how to call the cops. I know how you made your way into Lili's mind and made her think she deserves to be hurt. What is that on her head, huh? Or do you think I'm just as clueless as Sab? Leave, now."

"This is not over," the old man grins. "I'll be back to get Sabrina and check on Lili."

[candyswirls]

Can we get Neoth panicking about Lilith's existence and thinking her a monster before realizing she's just like any other ten year old when she starts purring in his lap?

Well, and animalistic as well as cannibalistic due to the blood drinking, but she's fine, she just has the same markings as some African grass finch chicks have-

He rested his head on his fist, watching his grandchild. What did he do to merit this within her?

She had happily given him a wide, opened mouth smile. Those spots within her mouth and cheeks... inhuman. He felt guilt as she saw his expression and quickly pulled back.

What did this mean, though?

His mind ran through all the various gene-splicing he'd done when creating his sons. Was it his decision? What about Amar and Erda? No, he closely monitored the project.

This had to be his fault. Sanguinius had been worried. She wasn't growing and was turning a sickly pale shade. Weaker than usual. Duller.

She seemed interested enough in her hobbies, and he gladly indulged in it. He offered her a skull to carve into. He'd have been worried if this interest had Dorn not told him how they bonded over the shared aspect of each other's cultures.

Still, he questioned if this was the surface of something for more morbid.

She sat at the base of the throne steps.

"I usually use the tibia or humerus," she stated as she inspected the designs around the eye sockets.

"Not the femur?" He questioned, trying to keep the conversation going. He wouldn't ignore or dismiss her.

"No," she said. "It's too bulky for the types of designs and artistic vision I have. The really hard part is the small bones, though, like fingers. Lots of little details, and I am bigger than baselines. You have to be careful not to break them. It's considered bad luck and disrespectful to the dead."

He nodded slowly even though she couldn't see.

She continued, "Some say that I could just use astartes skeletons, but they don't offer their own for such purposes, and the ceramic infused bones are hard to carve into."

He raised a brow, "The bones are donated. An interesting aspect."

She looked up at him, "It's seen as a great honor to become a work of art and its also an honor to do it for someone. If you ever wanted I could carve your bones."

He stared a moment, and she laughed, "As if you'd ever die! No, but I think it's important to have that promise there."

He had seen the markings again but forced a smile through, "I am flattered at your offer. No doubt you would do well with my bones."

He was the master of mankind but right now, he had another important duty. Being a grandfather.

She stood and skipped up the steps. She kneeled at the throne, resting her elbows on his lap.

"Since it won't happen, I can show you what I'd do," she stated excitedly.

She pointed out each carving on the skull and what it meant. What she would do for him. How she would do things differently than this skull and others she'd carved into.

"I could use xenos or animal bones too and make you something," she offered. "I just need to find some really good ones."

Her glee was obvious.

He stroked her head, "Your father is very proud, I'm sure. I am as well. You take great care in your work. A worthy endeavor."

A smile crossed her face and she rested a head on his lap.

"Thank you," she said quietly.

He got the distinct impression that she needed to hear that. He continued stroking her head and hair and noticed a low and soothing rumble coming from Lilith. Purring. Like so many of his sons could do.

This put himself at ease as well. She'd be alright. She was very much a child. Only caring for her interests and wanting to have validation. She bore no ill will, and he'd have time to figure out something if anything did happen.

He just hoped there wasnt any romantic traditions with this. Throne forbid the day she developed a crush.

[fantasyforbeginners]

What’s the difference between retcons/inconsistency and unreliable narrators?

That's a great question! To me the biggest difference is framing, and how through framing / pacing often times we can discern intention, which is arguably the biggest difference between "the story changed and/or things were forgotten (retcon)" and "the story had this planned ahead of time / did it this way on purpose (unreliable narrator)".

Retcons are also not always a bad thing —occasionally, they can make a story better — but they are, usually, a noticeable break from continuity, and thereby have a greater risk of mitigating setup/payoff. I still remember playing Uncharted 3 when I was young and we finally get more of Nate's backstory, of him being around 13/14 years old when he gets into a skirmish that his mentor-turned-accidental criminal dad figure Sully gets him out of as their first meeting / that Nate had been alone for a while (he has case files, they say his family is dead / implies that the rest of his family is too), and I loved it... only for Uncharted 4 (another very good game!) to reveal that Nate had an older brother who he was with around that same age range and only lost at a significantly older age. We gain an interesting dynamic with his brother and another version of his backstory, but for me it significantly lessened the impact of his and Sully's bond and the character work done in the previous game. Yippee?

For a better more specific example, I'm going to use two fantasy cartoons, The Owl House and The Dragon Prince, to illustrate the difference in meaning, since the former retcons quite a bit, and the latter is a really good example of unreliable narration.

TOH retcons mostly in its character introductions. It is common — and in fact it happens like, 7 times across the show — for a character to be introduced in a more antagonistic way / specific kind of setup, and then for that to be completely hand-waved or never brought up again, like that set up didn't exist.

An example I always come back to is Lilith and Amity. I like both of them well enough as characters, but I I think a lot of discourse around Amity comes from the fact her defining features of her very first scene / dynamic is quickly retconned within the same season. We see her stroll in alone to the scene, bully another girl named Willow for her lacklustre magic skills, and then merrily carry on her way. However, later on in the show, we find out that Willow and Amity used to be best friends till Amity's parents step in and both enforce that Amity needs to end the friendship. Amity does so, immensely hurting Willow's feelings, and modern day Amity expresses a lot of regret over not standing up for her.

Fair enough... but why have Amity bully Willow on screen? Why have Willow react and imply that this has been happening for years? Amity did not have to bully Willow; her parents didn't tell her she had to. Amity expresses feeling a lot of social pressure and expectation, to be fair, but why not just have Amity only bully Willow or only be a bystander to it when around her popular clique (since we see Amity's friend Boscha regularly bully Willow later anyway)? They clearly came up with a concept/plot line, didn't follow through on their set up in Willow and Amity's character introduction episode, and then let the conflict get retconned swept under the rug.

They do this multiple times in the show, but other ones that stood out to me was Lilith (who again, in her introductory scene in the whole show!! is introduced as Amity's longstanding teacher/personal mentor) and Amity's parents, as the bad parenting choices get entirely retconned and heaped onto her mother's shoulders, and her father is absolved of all of it. I get needing to retcon some things sometimes, but first impressions particularly for characters do matter, as it teaches us what to expect and what to get invested in, and the fact that TOH does it repeatedly (seven times is not minimal, for ex!) is one of the things that I think makes it a very enjoyable but not a very well written/consistently written show.

Alternatively, "The Dragon Prince" never does character retcons. The show steadily reveals how characters — namely Viren, a dark mage, and Aaravos, a mysterious figure who manipulates others from the shadows — are unreliable narrators, or that the lore and history of the world as we understand it is missing and incomplete.

The longest lore unravelling that the series has is based on its magic system, which has taken 7 seasons to unravel (with further to go, honestly).

In the season 1 intro / season 1 in general, we're told that the land in Xadia was rich in magic, that elves and dragons are connected to magic, and that humans invented dark magic (because they couldn't access primal magic), which required taking from magical creatures (elves and dragons included!) to work. We learn later that like... none of this is true? Or at least not the way we thought, down to the framing and information being withheld or revealed in the 1x01 vs 3x01 opening scenes.

The neat little intro scene that you thought was just there to explain the magic system and some important lore events is, shot for parallel shot, about a dragon falling into the ocean to put out the fire a dark mage (who was protecting his city from annihilation) branded into his eyes. The lie that humans aren't able to naturally have primal magic is also steadily broken down throughout season 2, 5, and particularly 6, with characters lampshading that others regularly withhold the truth, or display things because of their own biased perspectives (for both antagonists and protagonists).

The show does this kind of thing all the time, even in more subtle ways. For example, for the first five seasons, we think we know who the title refers to — the Dragon Prince Azymondias, wrongly believed to have been killed by humans, and the quest to return him to his mother makes up the bulk of the first three seasons. However, there's another Dragon Prince in this tale who was instrumental in beginning the cycle of violence (twice) in this world, with us going back 1,000 and then closer to 2-3,000 years further back respectively. Or, for example, despite being told in the S1 intro that both halves of Xadia were rich in magic, the western (now human) half of the continent is notably lacking, even in season 1. We only get the answer of WHY in S7, but it makes sense with what we know of the world (and is indeed what I'd always suspected) AND fits with throwaway historical lines from S2. In TDP, chances are you can always trace back any 'inconsistencies' in the lore or history even further back, and realize we were always supposed to be letting them stack up and/or questioning what we've been told...

Even something like betrayal is a matter of perspective, after all, and I think it's allowing grey room between perspectives — who is the traitor? Who is right? Who is wrong? — that allows TDP to build complex characters and dynamics. Their antagonists aren't wholly wrong, and their protagonists aren't wholly right. Finding our way into the middle, then, is the sticking point.

For a few wonder-filled years, we each have innocent eyes to experience the world’s beauty in a simple way. I have seen generations of humans and elves accept the darkness that lurks in all of us beside the light. There is no black or white, only shades of gray. We must all carry complexity. But please believe me that there is beauty in this burden. Your heart will be a little heavier. But now, there will be no more half-truths.

TLDR; character retcons are very difficult to do well because they break setup, payoff, and make first impressions useless or, if it comes enough out of nowhere, makes audience members feel like they were wrong to be invested. Inconsistent writing steadily chips away at your audience's ability to be invested. Unreliable narrators are always evident, should be steadily built throughout the story, and lore/history being revealed to be a lie is much easier for your audience to accept emotionally because it preserves or enhances character investment; you just have to make it clear early on that this is a feature of your storytelling choices, not a bug.

Pwease may I have some more? 🥺 This time for Melody... and also her relationship with Mouse? How'd they meet (without destroying each other first)? I wanna know all the deets ;) TY TY

:D

SO. Surprisingly they were never really at risk of destroying each other. They met when Mel bummed a cigarette off him, flirted a lot, and ended up fucking on the hood of him van. She is a snack. and Mouse proceeds to have the weirdest trip of his life on Mage blood full of alcohol, ecstasy, and tabacco. Romance goes from there. But first, let's rewind!

Melody was originally created as a touchstone for my Tremere Harmony. The two are half-sisters and very close, though neither told the other about becoming supernaturals. As you can imagine, this caused a bit of a rift between them, and it took a little bit for them to figure things out. Melody Awakened during a protest turned riot, at her college in London when she and her college friends were being beaten to a pulp by a riot cop. This caused an epiphany in her, allowing her to see political distance as physical distance, and vice versa; she didn't realize until later that the reason that cop didn't manage to hurt her was because she was warping around him punching from every angle all at once.

For a while thereafter, melody tried to go it alone and figure out magick without tutelage, having discovered that drugs, sex, and other strong sensations heightened her power. After an overdose, coupled with Paradox-induced internal bleeding landed her in the hospital, she met Lakshmi Dhama, a mage of the Cultus Ecstasis who brought her into the fold and taught her the ways of her Paradigm. Through the bond of the Diksham, the two quickly became lovers in addition to teacher and student, and the Cult of Ecstasy tends to encourage. While in the midst of this torrid romance, Melody also joined the Dissonance Society.

Then came Spring Break 2023. Melody returned home to America along with a posse of other young Ecstatics, who had organized a wild opportunity- they'd made contact with a conclave of like minded werewolves and vampires, who were gathering in the forests near Port Clinton in a bacchanal of magic, revelry, and ecoterroristic planning. A real dance-around-the-fire-in-the-woods-while-naked sort of thing. A Devil's Sacrament, if you will. Melody was incredibly excited- her thesis was on Dracula, for god's sake! To get to meet a real vampire? Awesome!

(Melody didn't know these specifics, but the conclave was a yearly event organized by a Bahari sect called the Childer of Ceridwen, and their Hart Warden and Shadow Lord allies. The sect is based in Cardiff, in the Caern of the Eternal Garden, but has scattered adherents across Europe and the US. These Bahari believe that Lilith is an agent of the Wyld, and that she will return to slay Jehovah (the Weaver) and Caine (the Wyrm) and claim her rightful place as queen of the heavens. Their werewolf allies think this ideology is useful and encourage it so they can continue to use the sect's power to further their agenda)

So! Imagine her surprise when she arrives to the Conclave and sees her sister, naked (As was the dress code for the Bahari attendants), tattooed with a Bahari sigil, and latched onto someone's neck, drinking their blood.

An argument ensued.

After a deluge of events too long to narrate, Melody got involved with Harmony's grandsire, Ceridwen Coslett, Childe of Carna, co-founder of her sire's House, Prince of Cardiff, international financier, sustainability advocate, and werewolf ally. Melody is currently her ghoul (though she is shared between her and Ceridwen's close ally, Elizabeth Hargrove, who effectively rules Albany and is similarly a environmentalist leader) and acts as a chauffeur, using Correspondence to teleport her mistress wherever she needs to go without the SI having a clue.

Lakshmi, however, does not approve. She'd lost people to vampires before, and saw Melody consorting with them as a death sentence. Rather than protect her, Lakshmi cut ties, claiming she didn't want to care about her when she was inevitably murdered by the monster wearing her sister's face. Melody was devastated at being forced to choose between her family and her lover, especially since Lakshmi was the first person she truly loved. To make matters worse, Lakshmi began to spread rumors about her through the cult's networks, effectively ostracizing her overnight.

Melody was now truly alone. After becoming Ceridwen's ghoul, she threw herself into her arcane studies, desperate to prove to Lakshmi that she could be both a great Mage and stay true to her family.

Which brings us to the present day. Melody is the living embodiment of "live fast, die young" and lives out her days is hedonistic desperation, trying to capture that spark of sensation that will lead to Ananda and beyond that, a glimpse of the Lakashim. Mouse and the greater polycule are still trying to pull her out of that freefall, because that complete reckless disregard for her own life is going to get her killed sooner or later.

Prologue | Adam C.1 | Secrets C.2 |

Pairing:Adam x Eve | Lucifer x Lilith

C.3

Lilith

When Lilith decided that she would not submit to Adam she escaped from the garden and walked away so that Adam would not find her.

For a while she was completely alone or at least she thought so.

Ever since Lilith had escaped from the garden someone had been watching her from the shadows, someone who had been trapped by her free spirit.

Lilith was sitting under a tree thinking about everything that had happened since she was created, she had been created from the dust of the earth like Adam on equal terms to populate the earth and although at first everything had been pleasant with Adam who showed too much affection towards her after a while Adam began to demand control and she was not willing to obey.

Creak

A creaking sound brought her out of her thoughts and she stood up and looked in the direction where the noise had come from.

She approached some bushes and looked out although she didn't see anything, she shrugged her shoulders and turned around and then she heard a sigh.

She carefully approached the bushes again and saw, an angel? The angel had his back to her trying to hide and he had not noticed that he had been discovered, yet it was strange she had seen angels once and that was when she was created so she had not seen them again but what was this angel doing here?

"Hey, what are you doing here, you were spying on me"

He turned to look at her and Lilith noticed his cheeks were blushing from the shame of having been discovered, and that because of his beautiful white skin it was not easy to hide his shame.

"I'm sorry Miss Lilith, I didn't mean to bother you."He played nervously with his hands, revealing his nervousness, and he had not been able to look her in the eyes.

"Well it's nothing but what's an angel doing here anyway you're going to try to convince me to go back to Adam."Lilith looked at him with half-closed eyes, after all she must have imagined that they would make her return to him.

"No, of course not, I'm not here for that."The angel quickly negated

Lilith looked at him suspiciously. "So what are you doing here?"

"Well, I wanted to see you. I've heard a lot about you in heaven."His tone of voice lowered as his hands trembled nervously again.

"I see well see you later" Lilith began to walk away until the angel called her.

"Wait, don't leave, I'd really like to talk to you if you don't mind."

There was a moment of silence until she sighed.

"Alright"

═══════════════ ⋆★⋆ ══════════════

"Other woman? I don't believe you"

Some time had passed since his first meeting with the angel who he now knew was called Lucifer and they had established a nice relationship because they seemed to understand each other very well.Lucifer often came to see her and tell her what was happening in heaven as well as his ideas and dreams.

"I'm serious, God decided to give Adam a second wife after you left him to fulfill what he told him from the beginning."

Lucifer had found out about God's plans to create another woman and couldn't believe how he had replaced Lilith so quickly although no one would be as good as Lilith of that he was sure.

"Wow, I hope this time it works." Lilith's tone of voice was mocking and sarcastic, it bothered her how easily she had been replaced, although she must have imagined it.

"Well I heard that they made her out of his ribs so that she would obey him."

There was a moment of silence until Lucifer spoke again.

"Hey, I really think you're better than her, I mean at least you decided what you wanted to do and you were created the same way as Adam, plus I'm sure you're prettier than her."

Lilith blushed and smiled.

"You're very kind, I really appreciate everything, although I feel sorry for that girl,Adam can be a big idiot."

As the days continued to pass, their bond grew greater, as did their feelings for each other, although heaven would surely not like that.

One afternoon like many others in which Lucifer had returned to heaven after having been together, Lilith had stayed there in that place until she heard a noise from her companions but Lucifer had already left, so who could it be? She was afraid when she thought it was Adam, although it could also have been the wind, so she ignored it until she heard it again and then she went to investigate, that was when She finally met the person she least wanted to see.

EVE

She had tried to be kind to her despite everything and had managed to notice those small differences that made them so different. No doubt they were physically similar but Eve seemed to be sweeter and more innocent.

And she seemed to adore Adam, well after all it came from his ribs, she think it was obvious that she had been created that way for that reason.

"Hey Lili, I notice you're distracted, thinking about what I told you."

Lucifer was with her sitting under the tree in the center of the garden, that tree that she knew she should not eat.

"I don't think it's a good idea, I shouldn't eat from there"

Despite everything, she continued to obey that rule.

"Well I didn't say you had to do it, maybe we could convince someone else."

Lilith looked at him confused. "Well, Adam won't eat that, I'm sure."

Lucifer smiled and took her hand. "Well Lili we could convince Eve after all I have heard that she is distrusting her husband"

Lilith quickly shook her head.She couldn't do that to Eve after she had been so nice to her.

"I don't think that's possible, she's not easy to manipulate despite everything."

Lucifer sighed."Look Lili nothing will happen to her if that's what worries you just think about it if she eats Adam will too,"You just have to make her not trust Adam anymore."

Lucifer looked at Lilith who had remained silent until she finally sighed.

"Ok I will do it"

ੈ✩‧₊˚ ˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚ ❀ ☄. *. ⋆ ⋆·˚ ༘ * ✩ •°. *࿐ੈ✩‧₊˚ ˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚ ❀ ☄

After what Lilith had said Eve had rushed to her husband after everything she said couldn't be true right?

She arrived at her small home and looked for Adam. She found him sitting under a tree playing the small improvised instrument he had made a while ago.

He was playing a melody, he certainly had talent. Adam seemed not to have noticed his presence as he concentrated on the melody until he finished playing and Eve applauded.

Adam looked up, smiled at her presence, and Eve smiled back, sitting next to him and she rested her head on his shoulder.

Adam smiled and put an arm around her shoulders.

"You came back early, why, did something happen?"

Eve shook her head quickly so as not to worry him.

"I decided that I like spending more time with you than going for a walk alone."

Adam felt confused but didn't say anything and instead of hesitating he kissed her forehead.

"I'm very happy to know that because I also like being with you."

Maybe she should ask him but maybe it was better not to know anything and if it was true maybe Adam had reasons not to tell her anything about Lilith.

______________________________________________

Wow more and more drama.

In any case, I hope you like my story. I have been thinking about the development I want to give it and the idea I already had at the beginning.I don't know if you noticed but on my tags it's an Adam x EveReader but I'm considering leaving it as Adam x Eve, although I don't know what to do but I'll figure it out .

And maybe it's not that long of a series but I'm still considering it.

On the other hand I have a lot of free time and that's why I update frequently so send me your requests or give me suggestions

Thank you for the support you have given to my story, I really appreciate it.

Hi my gremlin brain just activated and now I can’t stop thinking of the prompt, what if Asmodeus instead of Magnus’ magic, asked for the parabatai bond. Thinking that if Magnus severed the bond then Alex would breakup with Magnus and Magnus would come crying back to edom. Only Alec loves and trusts Magnus and is tired of being second fiddle to Jace so he understands that the bond has to be sacrificed to finish the owl and save Jace. Idk. I didn’t really have a whole idea, just Asmodeus trying to wreak havoc.

here we go, i had quite a bit of fun with the idea of asmodeus asking for the bond because it only makes sense that alec and jace pay the price to save jace rather than magnus who already risked himself going to edom

alec is super pragmatic and he knows everything has a cost. in my opinion it was super weird magnus paid the price and alec is only more relieved that jace is still alive than that the bond is broken. not only that, magnus saved him from what should have been a fatal wound since his arrows are adamas.

so i hope you enjoy

<3 lumine

-

Magnus gets back from Edom in time to see Jace driving one of Alexander’s own arrows into Magnus’ beloved’s heart.

Magnus screams in fury as he lashes out, the strength of his magic throwing Jace back, purging him with Asmodeus’ borrowed power. He uses his own magic to trap him there, ensuring he’ll be stuck under a barrier until he’s found.

There is a price to be paid for the magic he’s using and if he doesn’t pay quickly, the price will increase.

If Magnus doesn’t break Alexander’s parabatai bond now and quickly, then his father will think he’s backing down. It’s with agony that Magnus floods Alexander’s body with his magic.

Magnus portals them both away, leaving Jace unconscious in the alley.

He gets Alexander on their bed and strips him with magic, snapping all of the arrow away but the head imbedded in his boy’s heart. Alexander’s eyes flutter weakly but he’s aware, bolstered by Magnus’ magic.

“You’re ‘kay?” His boy asks him, desperately, searchingly. “Wha’d you pay?”

“Nothing but to ask you to trust me, as you always do.”

Alexander nods instantly and asks tiredly, pained, “Jace?”

“It will hurt him, but it will save his life. Lilith will no longer have any control over him.”

Alec smiles up at him, blood burbling from the corner of his mouth as he coughs.

“I trus’ you. L’ve you.” His eyes are fluttering and Magnus kisses him, easing him with magic into unconsciousness.  Magnus summons the stele his father handed him with a smirk and draws a rune over the parabatai rune and then he draws three more.

They are both demonic and divine and with his father’s power still boosting him, Magnus has no problems ripping Alexander and Jace’s bond apart.  Alexander convulses and coughs up more blood and Magnus uses magic to hold him down — even unconscious his body is reacting to losing a piece of what its held for years as its own soul.

Magnus rips Jace from Alexander like one might rip the skin from a carcass or a hook from a wound. It’s dug in and tightly barbed but Magnus is merciless, because he promised Alexander that Jace would live and he will, but as with all things there will be a price.

And this is it.

His father thinks that Alexander will hate him, will loathe him for this but Magnus knows better and he knows that what Alec wants the most is Jace to be still alive and to also live. Alexander will forgive him because his boy is viciously pragmatic and he understands that things have cost better than most.

Magnus works desperately the moment the bond is broken, ignoring the pain he’s causing to call for Catarina and to desperately try and heal his by.

It’s hours before his and Cat’s combined work leave a deep but no longer fatal wound.  And impressive task when you consider that adamas wounds rarely heal.

Alexander wakes slowly, eyes wet and wild as he looks up at Magnus and gasps out his name in shock as his body shakes.

“Jace—” he gets out hoarsly.

“Alive, but no longer your parabatai. Two lives saved for the cost of two soul shards.” Magnus says, making it sound much less intimate than the price truly was.

“Are you upset with me, sayang?” Magnus asks gently as he leans down and presses his ear to Alexander’s beating heart, gently hovering over the skin, not actually pressing down for fear of hurting the tender and raw wound.

“It’s the price that should have been paid from the beginning.” Alexander says and he sounds sad but grim. “Jace was brought back and the bond came back wrong from the beginning. It was broken like it wasn’t supposed to reform.” And Magnus lifts his head and watches as Alexander looks at him, eyes damp, “and what else could you have done, Magnus? This was always Jace and mine’s price to pay. You only ever went to Edom for me and that you came back unharmed is a gift I can’t take lightly.”

Alexander is serious, so sincere as he speaks and Magnus once again sighs with delight at how earnest and loving his boy is.

“My father hoped to break my heart. That by breaking your parabatai bond, I would have betrayed you. That you would hate me.”

Alexander scoffs and shakes his head, pain on his face but adoration still strong in his eyes.

“You saved us, Magnus. Me and Jace. I wouldn’t have made it with that much adamas in my heart without your magic and Jace would still be under Lilith.” Alec coughs and shifts with a grimace before he looks at Magnus sulkily. “I just had a piece of my soul ripped out Magnus, and my heart stabbed. I think I’d rather have cuddles than conversations right now.”

Magnus blinks and stares at his magnificent boy, who is looking at him with a pout and Magnus already knew, but he truly can’t resist Alexander.

“Jace is going to have a bitch of a time healing too.” Alexander mutters, and he sounds smug in only the way a nephilim can once they are out of true danger and are pleased with their skills.

“Oh?”

“He always said my arrow training wouldn’t ever come in handy.” Alexander rasps out with a hoarse, forced chuckle that seems a little sad, “but I got him in every tendon and to drop his weapons. So—” and here Alexander looks grimly pleased, “he was wrong.”

Magnus soothes a hand over his boy’s face and just drinks in his exhausted and pained face. Alexander is alive and that is all that matters and Magnus reminds himself of this as he leans forward and delicately kisses his beloved with a fierce possessiveness despite how gentle he is.

Because Alexander trusts him and Asmodeus was wrong and going to Edom was worth having Alexander’s soul all to himself.

Elsewhere at the New York Institute, Izzy sobs as she holds a screaming Jace down. Clary is crying to, unable to help her beyond activating Izzy’s strength runes.

“He’s gone Izzy. He’s gone.” Jace sobs and Izzy wails with him as she clutches the bare patch of skin that he only lets her touch. Clary watches with shaking fingers and wet eyes as they mourn.

17 year old Ava Silva is used to not being wanted. The last 10 years of her life have consisted of moving from family to family and house to house and never finding a home. 6 months before her 18th birthday she gets moved to a new family in a small town after a particularly nasty incident caused Ava to be removed from her last family. Ava, who believes that no family will ever want her, has decided that she is going to do her best to keep her head down and just try to survive the last six months she has until she ages out of the system and eventually gets put on the street. Her plan to make no connections with anyone is quickly ruined when the people of this small town she’s been placed in, make her feel more at home than she’s ever felt since her mom died when she was seven.

A poorly written fanfic summary of an Avatrice found family fanfic I would write if I could actually write. If anyone would like to actually write it please go for it! The ideas I had for the story I’ll write below. You obviously don’t have to listen to them and can totally make the story your own but I figured I’d share what I thought of that made me make this post

Jillian and mother superion would be married and the foster parents of Ava. They would already have Michael. I toyed around with the idea of them also having adopted Lilith as a way to make a really nice sisterly bond between her and Ava that would start rocky and then become iron tight. And also as a reason why she would see Beatrice a lot.

Meets the gang at the highschool and gets seated with Beatrice in one of their classes

Really cute like small town vibes. Like everyone knows everyone but it’s only mildly annoying bc most everyone really cares about each other

Bea’s parents still suck tho like a lot so she stays at Lilith’s a lot. They don’t kick her out for being gay though they just are occasionally mean to her and ignore her existence for the most part and have some insane expectations for her

Mary and Shannon dating ofc

Lilith and Camila have some serious crushes on each other.

Beatrice being the one to crack through Ava’s walls first

They have like almost immediate crushes on each other but they’re both extremely guarded so there would be SOOOOOOO MUCH PINING

SLOW BURN

The reason I thought this much about this is because I had this idea of this super intense scene of Ava having this big ass breakdown bc her birthday is nearing and she’s fallen in love with this town and family she’s been put in and she’s had this big realization that she doesn’t want to leave and she gets scared and started pushing everyone away and I had this vision of Suzanne and Jillian and Ava in a living room and Ava was soaking wet bc it was storming and she was coming home way after curfew and they started arguing about her behavior lately and how they love her and they hate seeing her close herself off like she was when she first got there and she breaks down and screams WHY WONT YOU ADOPT ME THEN and immediately the room went quiet and Suzanne walks out of the room and came back with adoption papers and says to her that they did want to adopt her and they were going to ask her the week of her birthday and Jillian said the only reason that hadn’t asked already was they wanted to be sure that it was what Ava wanted too. And then Michael and Lilith appeared bc they were eavesdropping and it became this super sweet moment.

I thought that maybe Jillian could be the town doctor and that maybe Suzanne could work at the school or something

I’m personally kind of a fan of father Vincent and think it would be sick if he had some kind of role

I didn’t have a set Michael age in mind for this really just that Jillian had him before she married Suzanne and that he loves his stepmom so much

Oh Yasmine should definitely be part of the friend group !

That’s all I really had thought of. If someone writes this or just a version of this I think it would be really cool. I seriously wish I had the ability to do it really. If not that is fine too I just hope you guys like the idea!

Made With Love

Radioapple

Chapter 2: Jambalaya

~six years later in hell, year 1933~

Lucifer was getting ready for tonight's dinner date with Alastor. Ah, the loveable fool of a human, he still hadn't realized they were dates! Oh how cute his ignorance was.  

“Well, tonight we change that! Yes… tonight I'll tell him how much I love him.” He looked at the Polaroid photos they took together. He insisted on one each year on the anniversary of their deal. He loved seeing Alastor age over the years, and he knew they'd make lovely momentos when he became a demon. 

“If only I could listen to his radio show… he said he's gotten popular lately. Though, that could make his killings more dangerous… Nah, I made him invisible to the law! He'll have a long, happy life before coming to join me in hell enough time for Charlie to grow up and be old enough to explain all this to.” He looked at a picture of his baby girl and smiled. She was his everything.

And now he had a second “everything” person. He hoped they'd get along. He was sure he could get them to be friends, for sure!

He waited for the usual feeling of being summoned… except the feeling never came. Which was weird. Because out of the six years they've been doing this. He'd never been late even once! Alastor likes his patterns and valued punctuality. He also loved music and dancing, whiskey and wine, and murdering Sinners. Lucifer sighed, Yeah, he really was a perfect Man.

He shook his head, now was not the time for that! Why was he late?! Was he in trouble? Did he need help? He summoned his powers to peek in on him. 

Unbeknownst to Alastor, the tie Lucifer had gifted him years ago could be used to spy on him. He closed an eye and took a peek through to see… Nothing? That can't be right…

He tried again, and this time… he couldn't believe what he saw. Blood Red skies.

Alastor was in hell?! But he was supposed to be alive for a few more decades! Oh no, but Charlie was still too young for him to break things off with Lilith! Augh, think Lucifer, think!

He tried to think of a way to explain all this to Alastor, looking at the flowers he'd planned to bring to him today. He then steeled his resolve and ran for the door, only to have Lilith step into his line of sight.

“Lucifer, where are you off to?” Her tone was firm, cold and unloving. Love wasn't an emotion he'd felt from her in years… centuries actually. But they'd kept their bond amicable and friendly.

“Lilith! Hi! Uh, just… going for a stroll?” He was awful at lying to her. She was still his first love, and he still loved her, even if she rejected it these days.

She rolled her eyes, “I take it your new boyfriend failed to call you out for the night? You realize he's even younger than our daughter, yes? By 100 years.”

“Hey! That's not- we're just friends.” He couldn't help his cheeks getting redder though. 

She sighed, “Lucifer, I'm not against you dating new people, but you promised to not let another love interfere with your bond with Charlie.”

“And I haven't! I'm still wholly devoted to our baby girl!” He flung his arms out, feeling the need to defend himself against her accusations. 

“Oh really? Then where were you last month when she was crying her eyes out over her ex?” She crossed her own arms over her chest, looking down at him as he quickly deflated.

“She Wh- wait. Ex? When did they break up?!”

“The month before last. When you missed family dinner night for dinner with that human who keeps summoning you. She told me they broke up because he tried to pressure her into sleeping with him.”

“He WHAT?! That fucker!” His horns came out and rage overtook him.

“Oh don't even pretend to be a good father now! You weren't there when she needed you, and again! Last month you were gone while she cried and asked if she did the right thing! Can you believe that?! Our daughter was questioning if leaving someone who wanted to take advantage of her was the right choice! And you weren't there to help comfort her. You weren't there to tell her what to look for in a good man, how she was right to leave if he won't respect her boundaries!” Lilith teared up, “You're a far cry from the man I fell in love with, but I expected you to keep your word and care for our daughter if you really loved her.” 

“Of course I love her! But I'm not psychic! I can't predict when things are gonna go wrong! And it's not like I can control when I'm summoned! I can't say no when I've made a deal… You know how this shit works.” His own eyes teared up as well. “I do love her Lilith, just like I still love you. I'm sorry I've changed, but a lot has happened over all these years. You've changed too, you know? I've never asked you to go back to how you were, I love you in every form. And I'll never stop loving you, even if I love someone else too. You're so special to me, Lilith…”

She sighed, “Lulu… I feel the same. I do love you, but I'm not in love with you anymore… I want us to stay friends, but I want something new. Someone new. But I want to wait until Charlie is more self-sufficient first. She needs us, Lucifer… and I need you to dedicate yourself to her.” 

“Lili… I… okay, I'll do my best…” He sighed and wiped away his tears. Lilith smiled and approached him, hugging him close.

“Thank you, Lulu.”

_____________

Alastor opened his eyes, the pain had finally stopped. Was he dead? The sky was blood red. The moon had a pentagram on it, and there was a second one, it was bright and surrounded by wings… 

“That must be heaven… I bet mother is having a wonderful time there…” he smiled at the thought.

Suddenly a face crossed into his line of sight, “Oh dear, are you alright Sweetheart? You must be new.” Her voice was kind, and she offered him a hand.

“Thank you, yes. I take it I'm in hell?” He reached for her hand, only to flinch at the sight of his new claws, “Goodness!” He sat up, and looked himself over, feeling the differences. He the looked at the woman more clearly, a cold sweat falling over his body as a nervous smile took his face. “A-apologies for the outburst I… Hadn't expected to… change so drastically.” 

She gave a sympathetic look, “Oh you poor thing. It's alright this happens all the time. If it helps, this form is quite charming.” 

She placed a hand on his shoulder and he flinched away, “Ah, I'm not terribly fond of physical contact, miss.”

She pulled her hand away, “The name's Rosie, and I think we're going to be good friends dear. Why don't you come over to my shop? I'll teach you about hell and make you lunch.”

All right, the Fantasy High DBD AU won (which, by the way, I'm calling Inevitable & Strange), so let's go a little bit deeper into some of the characters... *cracks knuckles*

Fig went to St Hilarion's in part because Sandra Lynn used to be a student there, but it was mostly because she found out that her bio-dad was working there as the coach for the girl's cricket team, and she even joined it so she could get to know him---hence, why she carries the cricket bat, even after she's dead. She never worked up the nerve to tell him that she was his daughter, though, and he only found out after she died.

Riz is actually a pretty well-known agent for the endless bureaucracy that is the afterlife, but after failing to catch a rogue demon, he got demoted to the Lost & Found Department. He's less of the "strict teacher" that the Night Nurse is and more of a burnt-out James Bond who's mostly just going through the motions. Of course, finding out that Ayda is an escapee from Hell definitely brings back a lot of the old zest for the job, and a lot of his harshness towards the girls stems from him genuinely believing that Ayda's a sinner and there's no way she could be there by mistake---and that anybody who evades the afterlife has to be up to no good. Don't worry, Riz's black-and-white thinking doesn't stick around.

Adaine is still the daughter of diplomats, though they of course have as little time for her as they do in canon---really, the only thing that's different is that they actually give her money, because it makes her "easier to deal with" if she can just do her own thing. Before she lost her memories, she carried a lot of anger and resentment about how her parents treated her, and did a lot of reckless stuff so they'd at least acknowledge her... mostly because, well, she knew that Aelwyn was a wild child when Angwyn and Arianwen weren't looking, and she figured that acting more like her would get her at least a little bit of respect. And when you throw psychic powers into the equation, it doesn't take much for things to spiral out of control.

Kristen... oh man, do I have a lot to say about Kristen. Before she was the Cat Queen, she was a girl living in Port Townsend just after its founding and a few decades after Kalina made her deal with Lilith. Kristen's family was incredibly religious and devout, expecting her to be the same, but she harbored deep doubts that only doubled when she met Tracker---who wasn't a wolf then, but an orphan girl who Kalina had just recently taken in. Kalina taught Tracker and Kristen the ways of witchcraft, and both of them took to it pretty quickly... until Kristen discovered how exactly Kalina got her power and youth from. She immediately told Tracker, thinking that they could run away together, but Tracker didn't believe her---and when she finally saw the truth, she confronted Kalina and got turned into her familiar as a result.

After that went down, Kalina managed to turn the people of Port Townsend against Kristen, branding her as a witch who need to be hanged. Driven by desperation, heartbreak, betrayal, and a whole lotta fury, Kristen called on Dream and Desire to give her what she wanted... and in an incredibly rare moment of them agreeing on something, they both blessed her with their powers and made her into the Cat Queen. Ever since then, Kristen's been a quiet little menace who takes Kalina down in smaller ways, knowing full well that doing anything major would mean that Tracker got hurt or worse---and she's lost all of her old optimism and hope, turning into a cynic who flirts with girls to keep herself distracted from her truckload of issues.

So, uh... yeah, that's what I got so far.

With that said...

Under the Scarlet Moon (1): Quiet Winds

Lucifer, standing out on the hotel’s balcony with his apple cane leaning on the railing and hat over the apple, is looking towards the moon. Well, as much a “moon” you can get in Hell. Scarlet sphere above him, pentagram inside it. But still-a moon. 

He just stares, mind blank. Today was a bit…much. He’s still getting used to the hustle and bustle and chaos of the hotel, Charlie’s motley crew that is chaotic and in every sense of “motley crew”. It’s quite different from his mansion. Alone, surrounded by only ducks to keep him company. 

He’s still very much getting used to socialization as well. It’s been about 8 years since he’d really talked to someone. 

It doesn’t help that he’s autistic as well. 

He’s not…upset, per se. He just needed a moment. So now he’s out here. And since his mind is blanked, slight dissociation as he stares out at the scarlet moon, he does not notice a certain someone teleporting in through shadows until his static-ridden radio voice speaks up. 

“My dear king,” Alastor says quietly.

(They banter, sure, but they’ve become…somewhat frie1nds? It’s a little unclear.-

But Lucifer, despite himself, is starting to…catch feelings? 

“No. No, that can’t be it. Lilith, she-nope, no. Stop thinking about her.”

-And Alastor can tell that Lucifer doesn’t need any of that right now.)

Lucifer jumps, whipping his head around to who he knows is Alastor, with that distinctive voice. 

“For my dad’s sake, don’t sneak up like that!” Lucifer breaths out, one clawed hand clutching his suit jacket at the side tightly, the other gripping the railing. 

Alastor chuckles but doesn’t say anything, instead moving to stand next to him on the railing. He keeps a distance, a few feet away. 

Lucifer stands there and watches him and then catches what he’s doing and looks away quickly, his eyes finding the moon once again. 

Silence. 

Well, at least between the two.

Comfortable silence between the two. 

Soft breaths, Alastor’s slight but quiet static. 

Sounds of Hell below them. Cars whooshing by. Some honking. Somebody yelling at someone, the words not able to be understood by the pair above. 

They’re both looking up and at the moon.

Silence that lasts a long time, at least 15 minutes. But it’s fine by the deer and the fallen angel. 

Before a quiet, soft,

“Alastor?”

He hums in response, slightly staticky. Like the radio prick man he is

“Uhm…well, uh, why are you…here? O-out with me, I mean, hah…” “Damnit. That was so fucking awkward..” Lucifer sighs internally. 

“I was headed out here to clear my head as well. That boisterous spider has been deliberately flirting with me. Your daughter has told me I am not permitted to kill and devour him, much to my dismay.”

Lucifer’s lips curl slightly, disgusted by cannibalism, despite being ruler of hell since the beginning. 

And silence, before, “Oh…that’s…uh, that-that’s a good reason to be out here…I, uh, don’t like Angel that much either…” He says, a bit awkward, per usual…he sighs internally again. Damn the autism, and damn the eight year isolation. 

Alastor doesn’t really respond besides a small nod, hoping that the king would see. He can tell that this is a moment for silence, and not a moment to banter about his awkwardness. 

And he likes the silence as well anyway. 

So once again, 

Silence. 

At least between the pair. 

Lucifer sighs softly, dissociating slightly. But he wonders what Alastor’s thinking. Is he thinking? Or is he dissociating a little, mind blanked, like him. He steals a glance at the thought, and sees Alastor just standing there, microphone cane against the railing and leaning against it, beside the cane. 

Alastor doesn’t notice the glance. Or if he does, he doesn’t react at all. 

Lucifer looks back ahead at the moon, with a slight, barely audible sigh. 

Silence. 

That lasts a long time. 

He's not sure how long. 

Alastor’s not sure how long. 

After a while of it, Lucifer finds himself inching slightly towards Alastor. He doesn’t even realize at first, until he notices that he’s a bit farther away from his apple cane and hat. His cheeks dust with a soft, barely noticeable gold. But he can’t bring himself to move away. 

Instead, he inches closer again as the blush fades. 

Alastor doesn’t care, and he doesn’t show anything that he notices to Lucifer. He huffs softly in acknowledgement of this development, too soft for the king to hear, and lets him. 

Closer,

closer,

closer,

Until Lucifer realizes there’s only like, a foot of distance and not the three or four. He looks away, his cheeks dusting gold again, but doesn’t move. 

He doesn’t want to move. 

And Alastor? He finds himself not wanting him to move away either. 

A light red rises to his cheeks. 

His heart picks up just slightly.

He swallows. 

“Wait a damn minute-what the Hell am I doing?” He snaps in his thoughts. “These feelings-what is this?! I don’t feel ‘flustered’! I’m The Radio Demon, for Satan’s sake!” 

But yet…even he can’t push these feelings away. So, he hopes Lucifer doesn’t notice his red-tinted cheeks. 

And his swallow. 

And he inches closer too. 

Lucifer notices his inch closer and can’t help but smile softly. 

So he inches,

closer, 

closer, 

closer,

Until there’s inches of space between them. 

And neither the stag nor the serpent move away...

Hazbin Hotel von Eldritch character ideas

I hope that even with all the characters in both Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, all of them will get a fair amount of screen time so that the writers don’t cause another Stella incident with them. I especially hope for this in Hazbin Hotel as that show has a lot of intriguing characters yet a lot of them like Mimzy and Crymini got demoted because of the situation with season 1’s short number of episodes. Hopefully after season 2 the seasons can get more episodes so that more characters can get screen time, and I bet if we talk about these kind of Hazbin Hotel characters, this will help make the writers realize they should try and utilize them more in the upcoming seasons/stories.

Some characters I think we need to do this for is the von Eldritch family, as considering their connections to Lucifer, Lilith, and especially Charlie I can see them bringing a lot to Hazbin Hotel. I’ve made some pics about some of the members already and got plans for a few more ideas, but thought I also post headcanons I have about each member of the family which hopefully will get people to start talking about them more.

First there is Fredrick von Eldritch, who is confirmed to be a close friend of Lucifer. He and his family are also confirmed to be rich so I see him running an important business, like specializing in construction and real estate. That would be a thriving business in the various rings, especially Pride given all the destruction and after Exterminations.

Even though he is rich enough to hang out with royals, Fredrick has a deep envious wish to become actual royalty one day. I could see this being the reason why he started to hang out with Lucifer at first, but over time he actually bonded with Lucifer and likes hanging out with the king of Hell as actual friends.

Still the day his son Seviathan and Charlie became a couple he was really hoping it would lead to them getting married and thus make the whole family royal. While he still loves his kids equally, the day they broke up made Fredrick a bit mad at Seviathan, and while still annoyed by it but never took his anger out on his son, he unknowingly treats Helsa slightly better.

I could see him always trying to make deals with demons and sinners, both legit and those involving souls, and in a future episode where he interacts with the main characters of HH I can see him making deals with Alastor and helping him and by connection Roo advance their evil plans all so he can finally become royalty.

Helsa von Eldritch has always thought herself better than everyone else, and admittedly that is kind of true as she is pretty smart, athletic, and popular. The day she met Charlie Morningstar was the day her world “crumbled” as Charlie was the closest thing she ever had to “serious competition” in her eyes and hated it which ironically motivates her.

Since then Helsa has made it a goal to annoy Charlie and show how superior she is to her, even if it’s just in small ways like opening her own hotel across the street of Charlie’s filled with things that tempt sinners.

After discovering her dad’s plans of working with Alastor to undermine the Morningstar family and becoming royalty, she quickly gets onboard. Maybe she secretly learns of her father’s plans and comes up with her owns plans in case her dad’s plans fail or if he changes his mind.

Seviathan von Eldritch is the oldest of the Eldritch kids and confirmed to be Charlie’s ex-boyfriend.

His appearance is intriguing as in the only other pic we have of Sevi so far (the one of him and Charlie at prom) he is depicted as having more greenish colored skin and has red eyes in both pics. This makes him really different from his parents and sister, and unless his design changes for the show I could see this leading to some fun ideas.

There is a popular HH theory saying that people with red sclera own souls, so if this turns out to be true that means Seviathan owns a soul. Maybe to impress his dad he tries being a businessman of his own (he does have a bit of a mobster theme going on) and somehow got to own a soul while still in school. Maybe that could be a reason why he and Charlie broke up with him, but I got a much more entertaining idea for that.

If that theory is false or is a different story for Hellborn demons with such eyes, then what if his different appearance is the result of him being the child of a previous marriage either Fredrick or Bethesda were in before they got married, making Seviathan the stepchild to one of the parents and Helsa’s half-brother.

When it comes to his personality like many other fans I did see him acting a lot like canon Adam (heck it seems like he was going to be just that according to a scrapped pic for the cancelled HH comics) but while I can still see him being like that from time to time, like bragging about ladies he dated, I think he should have different kind of personality so that we aren’t getting multiple characters with same personality types. One idea I have is that he feels awkward hanging around Charlie now since the breakup, even more so when he meets Vaggie as he knew Charlie was bi but never saw it much when they were dating.

I think it would be an interesting twist and good for his character if we found out that the main reason Sevi and Charlie broke was because when Charlie needed him to back up her redemption plan he chickened out, leaving her to defend her plan alone. He does feel bad about doing that, but for some reason has trouble apologizing about it, but eventually he does and the two make up and become decent friends. I also can see Sevi and Vaggie bonding in the series till in a twist they eventually become friends or on good terms when it comes to caring about Charlie, Sevi admitting he is glad that Charlie is with Vaggie now.

After these character milestones when Sevi learns that his father and sister are going to betray Lucifer, he quickly warns/tries to warn Charlie and co. before it is too late.

Bethesda von Eldritch is the member of the family that I can see having the least amount of importance and personality, but I can see her being very entertaining.

She is the nicest of the von Eldritch family, and really loves her husband, children, and friends such as Lilith. She and Fredrick are one of the most happy and faithful Hellborn married couples in all of Hell.

I like the idea (based on one connected to one of my HH OCs) of her having been born in a non rich family and was just a regular aquatic demoness until she met Lilith and became friends with her. Lilith would be the one to introduce Bethesda to Fredrick who in a few years would get married and start their family. This makes her the simplest one of the family as she just enjoys life and doesn’t care much about status or popularity but this and her personality ironically makes her well liked by most thus making her popular. It is at a point where she is friends with the family’s maid and would be happy being a mentor of sorts to Niffty who looks up to her.

I see her being a bit dumb and ditzy which makes her forgetful at times, can get confused about something, or she will fall for an obvious lie from Helsa, but she ISN’T the generic “dumb character” cliche like Total Drama’s Lindsay or American Dad’s Francine for example. Maybe we later find out that she was born with something that affected her way of processing info or suffered head trauma when she was younger and that resulted in her having such problems.

While generally nice she does have a bit of a temper as she really hates it when people call her things like a trophy wife, gold digger, or a slut (though she and Fredrick did sleep together on their first date but there was more to that night) and will go all Real Housewives on people. I could see her acting like this to Angel Dust for example in an episode.

It would be hilarious of she was the one to end the story arc of Fredrick and/or Helsa trying to bring down the Morningstars. She could just appear during the climax and after seeing what is going on, grabs her husband and/or daughter by the ear and makes them apologize while taking them away to punish them. That sounds like something that would happen in the show.

I also could see her being an element in the “Lilith vs. Imposter Lilith” theory I’ve talked about before.  I could see the real Lilith liking Bethesda, though she can be annoyed with her overdependence on Fredrick from time to time (as seen in that family pic from the pilot) while the Imposter gets really annoyed with her and was the one who started the rumors of her being a slut.

If I had to give her a voice, I could imagine her sounding a bit like Poisandra from Power Rangers: Dino Charge.

Could you see the von Eldritch being anything like any of these ideas? If so which ones?

What headcanons/ideas do you have for the von Eldritch family?

[journey-to-the-attic]

i know you've spoken about it before but i was wondering if u had any like,,, extended thoughts on ik being nightbrought? sorry if it's too much to ask lol i'm just in such a brainrot over lesson 12 rn!!!

i do have some!! some things have changed since the game first came out... i'll jot some down under the cut ^^

after giving it some more consideration i've changed my mind about removing the future!solomon lifeline, since nb has since opened up a whole BUNCH of cool stuff you could do with his character that only really works if its the solomon from the og game

so he's there too now!

there are like two main directions you could take with ik in this situation; one where she's incredibly stressed out (and understandably upset) about the whole situation, and another where she takes a look at it and just goes 'fuck it we ball'

considering that she's still only just gotten out of the whole belphie arc in jtta, i'm gonna go with the latter because she deserves to be whimsical

also it kind of goes with nightbringer - despite seemingly being much darker on the surface, it's a lot goofier than the og in many aspects

so ik is obviously extremely disoriented upon first getting nightbrought, but i think she'd actually figure out what's happened really quickly - after having done it before, she recognises the ~feeling~ she gets in the aftermath of time travel

also she knows the brothers extremely well at this point, so she'd recognise that they're very different demons suddenly

future solomon shows up and confirms ik's suspicions, and he starts doing this whole reassuring speech thing about how it's all gonna be fine, i'll take care of you, we'll be home in no time

solomon ends up essentially acting as ik's guardian, and he takes the duty very seriously ( rather than ebing his apprentice he refers to ik as his ward)

meanwhile ik's having the time of her life (as long as she doesn't stop to think too hard about her situation)

she's barely even intimidated by any of the brothers anymore - maybe mammon would, because she's never had him get violent or genuinely angry with her and isn't expecting it, but that's the thing - he's never gonna do that with his kiddo, no matter the time

basically it's like that ask about how she'll respond to satan getting all snarly by growling back at him. her responses to being threatened are always so happy-go-lucky that it just makes the demon threatening her forget to be evil and stuff

in terms of the thinking she's a demon thing... i do still think diavolo would recognise that someone this small couldn't possibly be a demon, but it'd be funny if solomon was like 'nah she's just small for her age' and he's just like 'oh word'

belphie and ik make fast friends! i still like this idea, and while the lilith wound is still very fresh, ik's always been good at patching scars up

i think this fast friendship also works better for making belphie question his convictions about humans - since he starts liking ik of his own volition and not necessarily because she's already done stuff for his brothers

in my head i feel like belphie would see that as him being obligated to like her - like, you saved my twin brother, i have to be nice to you now... he'd still come around to just genuinely enjoying her company, but it'd take longer (and make it more difficult for him to confront the lilith thing)

but! i still think mammon would be ik's first friend among the brothers - in the beginning, belphie avoids her since she's human, and it's only after she's already close to mammon that he starts talking to her

ik befriends the other brothers in a similar order to in jtta, with the exception that lucifer doesn't truly warm up to her for a little while longer

in jtta, he starts getting fond of her pretty early on, it just takes a while for it to manifest as the same sort of bond she has with, say, mammon

whereas in this nightbringer situation, because ik's so unafraid of him and not willing to put up with his shit, while still fiercely fighting for him to be kinder to himself, lucifer's not sure how to handle that - and compensates by being extra cold

of course he's also probably the most affected by the recent celestial war, and while ik helps with that, it's only when she's in combination with the rest of his brothers (once she's befriended them) that lucifer would be able to start healing properly

in general, ik's sheer confidence in the devildom (despite being a very different place to the one she knows, there's just a feeling of familiarity and home that transcends time) helps the brothers get settled in too

like, if this human can be so at home down here, as demons, they should be able to as well

diavolo would especially like ik's attitude - she was already friendly in jtta, but here (having already known his goofy future self), she's extra affable with him, and he just likes having a friend

barbatos appreciates ik for this reason - but he's also cautious, because he can't shake the feeling that she knows more than she lets on... something is off about time, and he can't figure out what

aside from her relationships to the characters... let's bring this back to ik being unexpectedly flippant about the situation, and solomon acting as guardian

to take this in the direction of angst (which you were probably more expecting in the first place): ik would potentially get very reckless in nightbringer

more so than she already is in jtta - remember that stunt she pulls in asmo's arc, where she has a stupid idea and charges at henry 1.0 to try acting as bait? she's like that all the time now

while solomon's glad she's not taking this all too hard, it's extremely worrying how little ik seems to care about getting home in one piece

part of it is because ik's still holding that trust she has for the brothers in the future - unconsciously, she fully believes that they'd never hurt her, even if her logical mind tells her that nothing's off the table with these past versions

part of it is because ik is torn up that her family suddenly doesn't know her again, and some piece of her just... doesn't care anymore? if you're going to take away that from her, you might as well kill her

and maybe a part of ik just wants to see if they'd care if she did get hurt

solomon, while also pretty easy-going for someone in his situation (similar to in canon nb), is at least cautious about his and ik's safety. ik just straight up doesn't seem to care

... and that's about all i have for now! i'll ruminate on it some more ^^ maybe i'll have some more thoughts once i've finished lesson 12

since you told us about eclipse can we hear more about envy? I really loved the art you made of them!

I can absolutely tell you more!

Content warning: Animal violence and death, implied grooming, loss of a parent and stillbirth (non descriptive). Just thought I'd put the warning just in case of any potentially triggering topics .

Envy was born alongside her brother Phoenix to Felicity and Alastair. Before she selected the name Envy she was known as Lilith. Lilith had a complex relationship with Alastair he mentored her rather than providing a father figure. From a young age (four moons) she was taught how to fight and hunt exceptionally well. This left only a small amount of free time. Within this time she met a young kitty-pet called Atlas. They quickly formed a strong bond visiting each other whenever Alastair was out on patrol. However when Lilith turned six moons old tragedy struck he mother contracted a mysterious illness that led to Felicity's passing. A small collection of medicine cats tried to save her from the kindness in their hearts. Unfortunately there was nothing that could have been done. Due to this Lilith grew a burning hatred for clan cats she swore to never forgive them. Atlas tried his best to comfort Lilith while Alastair was absent and Phoenix was grieving in solitude.

Once the summer started Lilith had to return to training alongside Phoenix leaving Atlas to his own devices. Alastair began training harsher and longer hours even worse than before. Atlas became worried when Lilith stopped meeting him,so he slipped into Lilith's barn. However he failed to check where Alastair was leading to him being beaten and chased outside. Lilith begged for Alastair to leave Atlas alone but Alastair ignored her stating that he would kill Atlas. Lilith retaliated attacking Alastair and continuing on to find him. After a short search Lilith came across the corpse of her best friend,he was shot by the farmer mistakenly believed to be a fox.

After this occurrence Lilith ran away from home to avoid Alastair and the thoughts of Atlas's passing. She ventured out into the edges of the forest where she met Eclipse. He tempted her to join him and promised protection,food, shelter and fame. Quickly without thinking she said yes tying herself permanently to him. He gave her a new name to forget the past and move on,Envy.

For the first few weeks Eclipse taught her how to fight,the rouge way using unforgivable violence and threat. He showed her all the secrets of the land where it was best to hunt, or steal. But soon he started asking for favours to prove loyalty each more dangerous than the last. However she could not refuse otherwise Envy would be slaughtered. She had to set the barn ablaze and kill her father. She protested Envy couldn't kill her father even after what he did. She created a plan to fake Alastair's death burn the barn and tell him to run.

The night came that she had to do what was required Envy watched as the flames consumed the place she used to call home. Envy found great satisfaction in watching the building turn to ashes. Envy came across a problem however Alistair was missing there was no proof as to where he went. Phoenix was nowhere to be seen as well.

Envy believed that she had completed her task so she returned to Eclipse ash coating her fur. Envy believed that Eclipse was proud of her for what she did so she wanted to continue by doing anything he asked. Eclipse praised her for everything she did, he gave her gifts of roses which she placed in her fur.

Around a week after the fire Envy was awoken by a mysterious figure standing outside the shed. His fur was coated in blood. After a few moments of silence she came to the realisation that the figure was her father. He was still alive however it could never stay that way. Eclipse ordered Envy to kill him or leave forever. So she made the decision to kill Alastair once and for all. It was at this moment she realised that she was no longer Lilith she was Envy. Envy adored the thrill she felt whilst murdering her victims.

Once the seven deadly sins group had been formed by Eclipse he became infatuated with Envy. Wanting more than just her skills in battle. He managed to convince her to have kits with him as a new legacy after he died. She had four kits however two were stillborn. The first kit was named Veleno,the second was named Reaper and the two stillborn kits were named Scythe and Chaos.

And that's about it for Envy's story I'm sorry this took waaaaaaaay too long. But in the end it is here now. Thanks for reading and here's a drawing!
