Recovery and Friendship // closed starter for @mages-pandoras-box (Prince Stolas)

♫ Come what may… ♫

The voice of a siren faintly echoes through the bloody battlefield landscape. What had initially seemed like a mere turf war between rival gangs turned out to be the landing spot for Queen of Hell. Her triumphant return to the depths of Hell was swiftly marred by bloodshed as both gangs redirected their battle towards her.

♫ Come what may… ♫

Though victorious in the battle, it did not come without cost. A series of unfortunate events occurred as she leaned against a building. Her lilac eyes focused in and out, trying to maintain steady breathing while her hand pressed against the open wound. Is this how she’s supposed to die? By the mere hands of a sinner?

♫ I will love you… until my dying days… ♫

She was mere moments away from redeeming herself to her family. Seven long years away from them… only to be stopped by a silly occurrence. How utterly pathetic. “Hm…” she groans as she hears the sound of footsteps approaching. She lifts her tired head and stares at the being before her with a tight smile.

“Are you here to deliver the final blow?”

“I would hate to think such a thought…” With gentle strokes, she ran the comb through each feathery spread, each tender touch filled with affection.

For millennia upon millennia, they’ve been together through thick and thin. The mere thought of life without him was unfathomable. There wouldn’t be such a situation, right? Yet, the possibility lingered, causing her heart to sink.

“But…” Her voice faltered, and the words barely whispered now. “Promise me that you’ll survive. Promise me you'll keep moving forward.” If the unthinkable were to happen, it would be her one wish. Despite the close calls of the past, if anything were to happen to her in the future, she needed him to carry on.

“If, no, …when we start our family, stay strong for our children. Their safety and well-being should always be above ours.” It would be a miracle if they were able to start a family. ”If the worst hasn’t happened, know I will always try to find a way back to you.”

"Vox. What a silly name," Lucifer commented dryly. "We'll keep an eye on him, love, don't worry." They had had to put down a few schemers in the past, Overlords who got too cocky and into their own heads about their power. They were lower on the totem pole than they realized; some of them were smart and knew to keep their heads down. Those who did not...

Well. Lucifer could still remember their screams. And it was good to remind the Sinners who were really in charge of this realm.

The cold water with the oatmeal infused into it did help considerably with his wings, and Lilith's suggestion of joining him later made him smile. "Of course," he promised.

As she sat down beside the tub, Lucifer hummed, closing his eyes and relaxing completely under her capable hands. "I don't know what I'd do without you," he murmured happily.

honestly love being in the marauders fandom, there are so many talented creators, especially fic writers. like i read popular fics from another fandom, and it just does not hit as hard as the masterpieces yall create over here. other ppl are getting emotional over stuff, and i don’t even bat an eye bc of the absolute tragedies the marauders have put me thru.

I am at last myself. With no ambition greater than to walk where I please and to breathe the open air. To die unmarked and unnoticed and be free.

I recently watched Tombstone, so.

Ice whose grandparents own a ranch and when he was younger, he spent every summer there, no matter how much his dad didn't like it. And maybe he doesn't have as much time when he gets older, but he still knows his way around the place, knows how everything works and where he can help.

Maybe he even has a horse that's half his, that was born in the spring when he was ten and he spent the whole summer that year playing around with it and his granparents include updates on it in every letter they send when he's on duty.

It's practically a second home to him, even if he doesn't talk about it much, so when he brings up introducing Mav to his grandparents, Mav isn't quite sure what to expect.

It's certainly not Ice driving off the highway and on a dirtroad, nothing but fields for miles, then a fence with a herd of cows behind it that they follow all the way through a ranch gate.

It's certainly not an older man in a cowboy hat and a plaid shirt coming out of the barn that smiles wide when Ice gets out of the car, or Ice himself grinning more than Mav has probably ever seen him.

"Tommy!" The old man calls out, affection clear in his tone as he starts walking towards them. "And here I was thinkin' ya wouldn't make it this year!"

But perhaps the biggest surprise is the twang that comes out of Ice's mouth. "I wouldn't miss this for nothin', grandpa! Ain't no way!"

"Never again..." she murmured to whoever as black smoke spilled out from those wet lips. Her chest glowed as if there was a furnace burning away the remainder of last night's toxins from within. With a wave of her hand, she dispersed the smoke and further sank into the couch.

A hand waves back and forth in front of his face, wondering if she lost her husband in the elevator of his mind. A playful smile graces her features; she knows he'll snap out of it eventually, but when... How many mini duckies could she stack on his head before he noticed?

You can practically hear the elevator music going off inside his head. No thoughts present.

What an interesting question... Elegant eyes lifted from the pages at her daughter’s voice, the sound of frustration and defeat evident in Charlie’s presence. A sympathetic gaze glinted in her hues while a small hum vibrated from her throat in thought. How did they do it...

It wasn’t an easy feat to accomplish after living in this environment for eons. “It’s a rather complicated answer… I suppose my actions throughout history still resonated with the citizens of hell. Some know the ruthlessness we initially enacted to survive and shape this kingdom.”

She closed the book with a sharp snap as she mused upon the next portion of her answer. “Yet… Times are different now. The world changed to a softer... more welcoming state, and so did my approach. It takes a lot of patience, darling. Respect doesn’t come instantly.” 

Her body leans forward, eyes soften further as she looks at Charlie. “What brought this about?”
