So: Hot Take (warning: spoilers for Lucifer)
I don’t like how they handled Cain/Pierce. There was a whole plot point about “he’s not actually as evil as he’s made out to be”, and the they make him evil!
This is my own opinion, but you wanna know what I would have done (I’m going to write it anyway)?
I would have made a minor romance between Lucifer and Cain/Pierce (with Deckerstar as endgame), and had it be a whole conflict/learning experience for Lucifer when they succeed at killing him. Then, Lucifer and Chloe start trying to get back to where they were, and work through it together.
No Chloe x Pierce, NO Charlotte dying (that one really got me), and we get to explore Lucifer’s bisexuality. Obviously there are some plot holes, but I’m really just spitballing.

Amenadiel: “I can’t believe you talked to Lucifer without getting so much as a leer! Most people can’t even look in their general direction without some kind of threat.”
Dan: “I mean, it would be a little weird if they did. We are engaged after all.”
Amenadiel: “....YOU’RE WHAT?!”

hiiii. i saw you write for lucifer (netflix) and i was wondering if you could write some lucifer x reader angst. like something where maybe reader is one of chloe's collegues and lucifer takes great interest in her but she thinks he hates her because he tries not to show his interest. something like she ends up getting taken as a hostage on a bust when they had to split up and lucifer like gets her and they have the whole "i thought you hate me" "oh darling, i could never hate you" thing? i hope this isnt too picky.. thank you so much!! 🧃
III LOVE YOUU. thanks for requesting for my unproblematic devil, i love this!!! not too picky at all darling, let your mind flow!!! here u got 💌
(I changed it only a teeny tiny bit, but I hope you enjoy nonetheless. I also made Y/N the forensic scientist, sorry Ella, ily!!!!!)
Not what it seems
"So, what have you got, Y/N?" Chloe says as her and Lucifer walk into the lab.
"Not much," I glare at Lucifer, who's messing with the evidence, and he stops. "there are traces of cocaine on the victim's jacket, tho."
"Well, someone liked sniffing around." Chloe and I both ignore the joke.
"Yet, he had none in his system. And no history with drugs, either."
"Right, so, maybe someone who messes with them is guilty." Chloe nods at his observation and starts walking away.
"I'm going to look more into it, see if I find people in that business that were connected to him." She exits, closing the door behind her.
I go back to work, until I notice Lucifer lingering over me as I go over evidence for the fifth time today.
I turn to look at him. "Everything alright, Lucifer?"
"Me? Of course."
"... Alright then. I'm going back to the crime scene, see if I find anything else."
As I start to walk towards the door, his hand catches my wrist, making me turn to him.
"Yes?"
"Um, I...just be careful, alright?"
I don't know what to say, instead, I just furrow my brows and part my mouth.
"It's just, the detective wouldn't like anything to happen to you."
I nod, now understanding what this is actually about.
"...Right. Yeah, I'll be okay."
I release myself from his grip and make my way towards my car.
After a short drive I arrive to the victim's house, seeing the yellow tape wrapped around the area. I leave the vehicle and start walking to the entryway when I feel a pair of gloved hands hold a cloth against my nose.
————————————
My head feels light and my mouth dry as I slowly peel my eyes. There is no light and I have no idea for how much time I've been out.
"You shouldn't have gone back."
I try to search for the source of the voice, but I can't see anything and I can't tell wether it's the darkness or the state of dizziness I'm in.
"What do you want with me?" My voice is hoarse and barely hearable, but I receive an answer anyways.
"With you? I want nothing with you. I just wish you hadn't been so curious, then I wouldn't have to do with you what I have to do now."
Just as I see a masked figure walking towards me from the dark, I hear two gunshots. The man walks away to look for the source of them, and then I hear Chloe's voice.
"You get Y/N and I'll get the killer." She shouts to another person, which I'm assuming is Dan.
I remain seated with my legs tied to the chair and my arms behind my back. I hear running steps, and once I see their owner, I can't help but feel a little safer.
"Y/N!" He releases a breath I didn't know he was holding, and, by the look on his face, I assume he didn't know either.
His loolk lingers on my face for a second too much, but he is quick to start untying me. Once I'm free, he helps me up to my feet.
His hug catches me by surprise. "Are you okay?"
"I-im fine." I find myself leaning against his touch and releasing tension I also didn't know I was holding in.
"Lucifer, did you find her?" We hear Chloe's voice echo.
'Y-yes, I found her, detective."
"Okay, leave!"
"What?" I ask this time.
"Just leave, get her somewhere safe."
Lucifer's hand meets mine and we rush out the door. Once we meet the moonlight, we are breathless from running.
"You should probably get some food and water. Lux is only a few blocks away, do you mind walking?"
"I can just get a cab home, it's fi-"
He cuts me off and repeats his question, pausing after every word. "Do you mind walking?"
"No"
He nods. The walk to his penthouse is quiet and calm, as the ride on the elevator. I sit on the couch as he takes off his jacket as throws it on top the piano. He makes his way behind the bar and pours two glasses of whiskey.
"You should probably have some water, too."
"It's fine. I'm fine, Lucifer. I don't need anything"
"Well, of course you do, love."
My stomach flips at the casually thrown nickname, but I make sure not to show it nor look his way.
"Is everything truly fine, Y/N?"
"Yes, it's fine. So fine I should get going."
"Is there something you're not telling me?"
"Is there something you're not telling me?"
"I-" I can see his mind debating whether or not he should actually tell me anything he's thinking about. "Are you really that clueless?"
He walks towards me, shortening the space between us. He is so close to me I can see the glint in his eyes and the way his lips open and close as he breathes.
"W-what?" My chest rises up and down, nervous about our proximity.
His eyes linger on my lips and search for an answer in my eyes. An answer to what, that I don't know. I try to take in all of him, knowing this is as close as Lucifer will ever get to being as vulnerable as he is right now. Both physically and emotionally.
After a few seconds, we both can't take it any longer. I crash my lips against his'. They move in syntony, like it was a habit. Not even a minute goes by and we have to pull back to catch our breaths. Our chests rise and fall together and I can hear his beating heart.
"I have been waiting ages to do that."
"What?" I open my eyes to see him already looking at me, with a surprisingly adoring look on his eyes.
"I have been waiting ages to do that. To kiss you, feel you."
"I...thought you hated me."
"Oh, darling," the back of his hand meets my face, pushing away a few strands of hair and tucking them to my ear. "I could never hate you."
His lips meet mine once again, both of his hands grabbing the back of my neck. He starts walking backwards and I follow, not breaking the kiss.
Suddenly, the moment is broken by a ringing phone.
We break the kiss, once again, and he fishes his phone out of his pocket, answering the call.
I can hear a voice on the other side, frantically speaking.
"Yes, yes, she is fine, detective." He smiles at me. "Alright, we'll be there in five."

I know I'm in the minority and the show ended 2 years ago, but I've gotta get my Lucifer thoughts out somehow.
(Spoilers below)
So I finished the show and I expected to be disappointed based on what I was seeing of the internet's reaction to the ending... but i was pleasantly surprised to discover that I loved the ending. To quote Jeremy Strong, i thought it made sense dramaturgically. It was emotional, beautiful, and written with love to the original myth, the show's narrative arc, and the fans.
Tumblr media
Like literally everyone got a happy ending, the show stayed true to its therapy concept and character arcs and growth, Lucifer and Amenadiel both learn from their father's mistakes and make different choices, Chloe is Amenagod's consultant and lives her human life feeling fulfilled, and still a Deckerstar happy ending! That's incredibly difficult to wrap up so much character development and the series as a whole in a "happy ending" way while also staying true to the integrity of the art.
The years Chloe and Lucifer spend physically apart (but still emotionally together) echo the myth of Hades and Persephone, staying true to the eternal love story with the bittersweet yearning and the reunion. What's a few decades when you're looking at eternity? It's as Rory said, that time is a blip in their existence. After the time loop is resolved, the whole family can visit and be together again. We get cake & eat it too!
There were some things I have critique for, of course. Amenadiel discovering racism again and his investigations felt out of place on their own; but I can justify this arc to myself for a few reasons: 1) it echoes the journey both Amenadiel and Lucifer take realizing that the entire system is flawed and how they want to change things if they had the power/authority to do so 2) there's a social responsibility I'm sure the showrunners felt about a police procedural show, given how we know these shows affect perceptions of police and in fact are used as propaganda that affects the public's perception of the current (and past and still happening now post-show...) events. It makes sense that the writers and actors would want to comment on this while also being quite hopeful in aligning with the show's themes about change and improvement. The system is terribly flawed, but there's still hope because we can change things and confront the injustice. 3) Amenadiel can't solve systemic racism for humanity because we need to do it ourselves. Amenagod fixing this would be the cheap way out narratively and also pessimistic in its messaging that IRL we can't do anything without the divine stepping in and undoing our mistakes. 4) Chloe wouldn't be happy being only Mrs. G, wife and mother. She is the Detective and both she and Lucifer realize that this part of her identity is integral; neither of them want her to have to sacrifice this. By being Amenagod's consultant and continuing her career as lieutenant, Chloe still has her independence and own identity outside of being Lucifer's partner. She's able to live a fulfilling human life without commuting back and forth from earth to heaven/hell.
Another critism is that all of the main characters were romantically paired up by the series end, when that doesn't have to be the ideal ending for someone at all. It sucks that we had to make sure Ella finally got a good boyfriend, as an example, especially when her arc confronting her own darkness and refinding her faith felt much more important and emotionally poignant in my opinion. But I can also see how this choice was probably made to support the fans and give favorite characters a happy ending, rather than only appealing to the Deckerstar fans.
I don't know, I guess I'm just so surprised that it seems (from reddit at least) that people hated the ending so much as to compare it to GOT - when David Benioff and D.B. Weiss clearly wanted their own show to be over and done without caring about the narrative arc at all - when it just seems so apparent to me that Ildy Modrovich and Joe Henderson clearly cared deeply about their show and wanted to give an ending that fit narratively/had integrity as a story and also was a love letter to the fans who'd saved the show to begin with.

Short little piece I jotted down in my phone notes thinking about our favorite angsty Devil. I'm trying to get back into writing, and these little pieces I write help.
cw: Language
~~~
That fucking name.
That name given to him by his father, that wretched horrible word that encompassed everything he was before the rebellion. The best of the best, the favorite, the smartest and wisest and most powerful of all angels. Second only to God himself. A name as dead to him as that perfect child he had strived to be.
When Amenadiel had called him by it, he became enraged. How dare his older brother try to invoke that past, that desire to be good and do their best. "Do not call me that! "
When the Doctor, Linda, had said it, it filled him with disgust and self loathing. How could she know? She has no idea what she is invoking. The name that connotated his father's love? Fucking ridiculous. "I don't go by that name anymore."
When Michael had called him that, he could have ripped his twin's throat out right there. I may not be that obedient child anymore that you mock with your names, but I am still better than you, in all ways, and you dare not push me far enough to test that.
When his father called him by his old name, he was furious. He was not that angel anymore, and it was ENTIRELY His fault. He was the one that cast him from Heaven, He had been the one to turn him into a devil, and He had the gall to call him by his angel name?
When she said it, his heart broke. She was calling out to the fallen, broken child that had been cast aside, the softness and the goodness that she insisted she could see within him. The broken pieces that were no longer there, but she made him want to believe they were. The pieces that the Detective sought out and hunted for in his words and his actions. The pieces she took into her hands when she cradled his face and looked straight into his soul. The pieces she gently tried to fit back together, as futile as that was, when she held him. That name broke his heart over and over on her lips, because he wanted so desperately to be that good, heavenly angel for her, because Chloe deserved that, and he couldn't give that to her.
Lucifer could never be the Samael she deserved.

The Fallen pt. 5
Cooper Howard x F!Angel!Reader
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5
Warnings: smut, idk normal apocalypse type stuff
A/N: I’m not super happy with this chapter so I’m probably gonna edit it again later
Tag List: @lacontroller1991 @giggle-shade @tesha-i-guess @looneylooomis @pookiesnatcher @jayden-okayden @dovefeatheredraven @angelcritterz
Sometime during the night, when there were no doubts or fear, Cooper had pulled you closer into him, his chest firmly against your back, legs tangled in a mess of warmth.
Inevitably, when the memories of your long life crept in and dragged you from your peaceful slumber, you awoke to the smell of gunpowder and blood. Cooper’s arm was tight around your middle, holding you close, like he was afraid you’d slip away during the night.
You allowed yourself a brief moment, made longer by your own indulgence, where you let yourself feel.
Long gone were your doe eyes and breathless smiles. The world you inhabited required a steel stomach and an unbendable spine. For the past two centuries you’d denied yourself that spark, the bit of yourself that always felt so much- too much.
Your heart was a traitorous thing, had always been far too bright. Once, you’d prided yourself on that, on the love for others that was just so effortless.
You doubted yourself now, thought that maybe you didn’t even know what love was. Maybe you were just a sanctimonious asshole who didn’t care about others, just wanted to ride the high of moral superiority.
It was hard to think that, to view yourself as incapable of love, when the warm, even breaths of Cooper Howard on the back of your neck pumped fire through your veins.
Could it be possible, for you to feel affection- love- for him?
There was some amount of fondness, to be sure- something in the way your heart fluttered, your eyes gravitated to him.
But love?
You’d never been in love. You had loved before, many people in your life, but not romantically.
Not the kind that would put you on your knees.
“You look lost, sister.”
Amenadiel’s voice was deep, concerned.
You heaved a sigh, rolling out of Cooper’s arms. The corners of your lips turned down at the loss of him, body protesting your isolation.
“Twice in the same year, that has to be a record.”
The amusement in your voice wasn’t matched by your brother, his dark eyes trained on the man that’d been cuddled up to you for half the night.
“You should be careful,” he cautioned you, and though he kept his stature straight, you could see the worry in the tenseness of his arms, the tightening of his jaw.
You were his baby sister. Generally angels were unconcerned with the affairs of man- more spectator than intervenor. They remained in their realm, governing over humans only after they’d lived their mortal lives.
You, Lucifer, and Amenadiel were exceptions.
Three sides of the same coin, three siblings, three realms- heaven, hell, and earth.
“Since when have you ever cared about my choices?”
It was unfair, a poisonous comment from the lips of a little girl who was still bitter about the way life turned out.
Amenadiel had visited you, more so than any sibling. Granted, you and Lucifer had been given more than just proverbial prisons. After his return to hell, some years before the world turned to shit, he had been caught in a trap once again, unable to leave the confines of hell.
And you…
Well, your wings were tattered, brutal scars to remind you of what you were, but to never let you leave.
Clipped wings for a trapped bird.
“I’ve always cared.”
There was a softness there, in the way his eyes dropped. He was an undeniably intimidating man, but he’d always brought himself to your level when he spoke to you, almost scared of you seeing him as anything other than an overbearing, yet loving, big brother.
“Why are you here?”
The question wasn’t as venomous as the last, genuine curiosity momentarily winning out over an never ending feud.
“What happened to you?”
His question was so sudden, like he’d been holding onto it for a lifetime, waiting for the right time to get his answer.
“You were God’s Golden Warrior, his most fierce and compassionate child.”
An angry humor burned its way up your throat, culminating in something halfway between a laugh and a growl. Amenadiel, as patient as ever, let the rage light up your features.
“What happened?” You stood then, your full height not even nearing your brother’s, but there was no denying the spark of intimidation in your stance.
You’d been God’s Golden Warrior first, then Hell’s Champion.
Titles given not by privilege, but by prowess.
There were few who were capable of moving with such speed and precision as you. Your body and mind were weapons, capable of a destruction you never sought out.
Instead, you chose to be a healer, to let the divinity that flooded your veins be used for good.
You couldn’t heal now, not since the day the bombs fell- since you fell- and that bit of knowledge hurt worse than the disappointment on Amenadiel’s face, but just barely.
“Look at this place,” your voice rose with your anger, a sneer on your lips. “At them.”
Your brother did.
Guilt flashed in his eyes, followed by quiet acceptance.
“I watched this happen. We all watched this happen.”
It was so fucking hard to get Amenadiel to understand the thoughts that plagued your every move. Anger was easy, it shadowed the guilt and overwhelming sadness, like a rabid animal protecting its den.
Why couldn’t he see it? Why couldn’t any of them see it?
“We do not dictate their lives,” he reminded you sternly, his arms crossing over his chest.
Your heart squeezed at the image of him, at the same expression he’d given to you so many times in your youth, bewildered with your silly antics.
“No, we just let billions of people suffer for the mistakes of a few,” you muttered bitterly.
The air, nearly frozen in time with the power of Amenadiel, grew thick with an exhausted argument. For millennia it’d been like this, each visit ending in similar disappointment. Maybe the damage was irreparable, maybe you would never reconnect with him the way you once did.
“Don’t forget who you are.”
And with that, he was gone.
You were left to your own musings once more, time ticking by like normal once again.
His words shouldn’t have bothered you, shouldn’t have crawled deep into your skin and taken root in your chest, but they did.
Don’t forget who you are.
Your legs twitched, a reminder of the position you’d been in less than a day ago.
Cooper had dropped you to your knees and you’d just let him.
You’d let him take whatever pleasure he wanted from you, had let him pump his anger into you until he’d thrown his head back with his release.
Your thoughts simmered, then blistered, dissatisfaction rearing its head.
You were not his toy, his little plaything to use as he pleased.
That little display had been for his benefit, but it wasn’t who you were. If he wanted you, he’d have to earn you.
You were gone before either of your companions awoke, Maze following closely behind as you prepared some rations for Lucy and Cooper.
Food wasn’t something you’d had in a long time.
Truthfully, you didn’t need it. Without eating, you’d survive, just as unchanged as the past several thousand years- water too. However, it hurt.
You still felt hunger, thirst, just as a human did. It didn’t debilitate you, or even make you unwell, you just felt a constant pain, an ache you couldn’t consciously fill. Humans needed food and water to survive, to even stand a fighting chance.
So, you lived in that pain.
You sighed, holding out your palm with a little bit of spare canned meat for Maze. The dog took it graciously, scarfing down the humble portion.
Lucy and Maze were easier to understand and interact with. Honestly, they were a bit refreshing. Well, Lucy was, Maze was very much a good dog, but that was usually the case.
Good humans?
Well, those were in pretty short supply these days.
It was easy to understand though, and you gave humans a lot of grace. After all, this world was a hard place that took and took, relentless in its efforts to either strike you down or make you another monster in the cog of the apocalypse.
“That smells better than I thought anything on the surface could,” Lucy mumbled, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
She sat up slowly, bringing her knees to her chest as you passed her the sad excuse for a meal.
“Eat up, it’ll be a long day,” you told her, scratching Maze’s chin as you lounged a little more comfortably.
The instinct to spread your wings stretched at your spine, tamped down only by the presence of your new friend.
She hummed contentedly, taking a few bites slowly, like she was both savoring the flavor and debating on asking a question.
It seemed her curiosity won out as she swallowed another bite.
“Where will you go after I find my dad?”
You let the inquiry hang in the air as you thought on it, idly tapping your fingers on the top of your knee. You hadn’t given it a lot of thought, too focused on trying to give someone a happiness you could never have.
Maybe it’d heal a piece of yourself in the process.
“I don’t really know,” you admitted slowly, cautiously.
In the corner of your eye, you saw Cooper stir. He was awake, even if he pretended not to be.
You wouldn’t call him out though. If he wanted to listen in, so be it.
“You could-“ she paused, shaking off a bit of dust before she continued. “If you wanted to, you could come with me to my vault.”
The control Cooper always had a desperate hold on reared out of his hands, his body shooting up as if he’d woken up in a startle. You didn’t answer Lucy, didn’t bother to tell her if only because you knew it’d drive Cooper mad.
And he looked particularly put out as he grabbed his own portion of the food.
Where Lucy was well mannered and talkative, Coop took exactly what he needed and didn’t bother with conversation.
You sighed, getting to your feet and slinging your pack back on.
“Now that everybody’s had their breakfast, let’s get moving.”
Lucy was quick to join you, worry and fear chewing at her with each day that passed by. There wasn’t much left to the journey, about a day and a half if you had to guess, but there was a fairly important stop you wanted to make first.
“We’re going to make a stop tonight,” you commented, not bothering to check if Coop was following as you started making your way away from your temporary camp.
“And then we’ll be there tomorrow?” Lucy confirmed.
Your nod was enough of a confirmation for her, and instead of leaving her to her own devices, to stew in the depths of her concern, you engaged in conversation with her.
It was unimportant, for the most part, just questions about her family and her interests.
She’d told you about her brother, Norm, who she clearly had a deep affection for. Then she talked about her dad, and how close they’d been.
It was so… normal. Mundane. Domestic.
Before the war, you weren’t as involved with humans. You’d always kept them at a bit of a distance, scared to engage.
(And considering the first time you’d really tangled yourself in human affairs they claimed you to be the daughter of Zeus, married you to a Spartan, then started an entire pointless war over the male ego- you weren’t quick to re-enter society.)
But, eventually, with the help of Lucifer, you’d made friends. Integrated yourself, if you will.
Life had been a dream then, loneliness chased away by your friends and family. Lucifer had Chloe and Rory, Amenadiel had Linda and Charlie. Maze tormented you daily with very painful sparring sessions. (With the utmost love in her heart, mind you.)
Then Lucifer had been forced to return to hell, chained to his responsibility in the afterlife. Not long after, the world went to shit and the friends you’d had were all whisked away in some form or fashion, to hell or to heaven, depending on if they were Team Lucifer or Amenadiel.
You’d recognized the faraway look in Cooper’s expression too, like her explanation of her life was forcing him to face his own past.
Briefly, you wondered what that looked like.
He hadn’t really told you anything about his family. Hell, before the past couple of weeks you hadn’t told him anything about yours either.
Then, before Lucy could ask too many questions about the state of your own family, you inquired about Maximus.
There was a sadness when she spoke of him, like the uncertainty of the situation was a death sentence.
And maybe it was.
The Wasteland had a habit of making people disappear. It was so easy to just drift away, become little more than a distant memory and an occasional anecdote while the world moved on.
The conversation was enough to keep you occupied, to distract you from the impending walk down nostalgia lane.
For the most part, it was just you and Lucy talking, Cooper still deep in thought over the events of the past day. It was better that way, though, easier to focus on meaningless conversation than the streets around you.
The closer you got, the more you recognized.
The streets were so different now, not teeming with life as they’d once been.
Lux.
Los Angeles had become little more than a husk of itself, shells of buildings littering the streets, the desert sweeping in from all sides. Many factions had laid claim to the ruins, had rebuilt the city with scraps.
Through it all though, Lux had stood.
It wasn’t in perfect condition, but it did maintain itself far better than nearly every other building.
Not that it was particularly surprising, there were many, many divine artifacts locked away, for the protection of others.
“What is this place?” Lucy broke the silence, a hand blocking out the harsh sun as she followed the building to the top.
“It used to be a nightclub,” you shrugged, your boots crunching on glass shards.
Most of the windows had been smashed out, and when you entered the front, you were unsurprised to find that it’d been trashed, then picked clean. Beyond the general structure of the bottom floor, there was little recognizable content left. Even the poles had been taken down, lost to some raid or another.
You could almost picture it, your mind tugging you back to a time you’d walked through the throngs of people, pressing your way to the elevator to meet your brother.
This time, there wasn’t a crowd, just your two companions following in a hushed silence.
“It works?” Lucy gestured to the open doors of the elevator that you’d stepped into, your hand tracing the buttons reverently.
“Yeah, it’ll work,” you promised, a thousand little moments echoing in the press of a button.
You typed in the code, the one Lucifer had used to protect his property prior to leaving, and the elevator whirred back at you.
If you wanted to get technical, it had been Chloe’s idea. She wasn’t interested in coming back to Lux after Lucy left, haunted by the memories. She knew she’d meet him again, one day- but until then, she tried to maintain some semblance of normal while honoring Lucifer.
Thus, you’d all decided that you’d take Lux, and in doing so, you could maintain the artifacts that your brother had collected. You’d agreed only after drowning every surface in bleach.
He might’ve settled down with Chloe eventually, but he’d more than likely defiled every inch of the penthouse before that.
The doors moved with a groan, shutting you and your small party in as it ascended to the place you’d once considered home. Your heart twinged, each whine of the machinery bringing you closer to familiarity.
“How’d you know all this, sweetheart?”
Cooper finally broke his silence, the same one he’d had for the majority of the day, to ask. You weren’t quite sure if you were thankful for it or not, comforted by his voice but also frustrated with his actions.
“This,” you tapped impatiently against the rusting bar, nodding your head as the elevator screeched to a halt, doors springing open slowly. “Was my brother’s place.”
The look Cooper gave you could best be described as suspicious. You looked like you were in your mid-twenties, and this club was very obviously from before the war over 200 years ago.
You ignored it, however, instead calming the pounding of your heart as you stepped into the penthouse your brother had made his home for many years.
The lights above clicked on, a generator long dormant still capable of producing electricity. You weren’t surprised, Lucifer had really spared no expense on this place, because he hated inconvenience.
It was largely untouched, a few smashed windows and a heavy layer of dust the only real mark of the passage of time. It was still, quiet, lifeless. Your fingers idly tapped on the keys of the piano, untuned notes reverberating in the space around you as a brief flicker of life passed through the space.
You’d loved here, had once reunited with your family and friends, had held them all close as the weight of years and years in isolation forced you to your knees. The note died, the memory too, and you stepped away, towards the well stocked bar that was mostly intact.
“Now that’s a bar,” Coop whistled lowly, picking up the nearest bottle and investigating.
“We can stay here for the night,” you told them, dropping your pack on the couch, dust swirling at the upheaval. “There’s only two rooms, but the couch is comfy.”
Lucy was walking the perimeter with curiosity, hands tracing over the luxurious items with interest. She’d never seen objects like this, surrounded by metal and conformity. Everything in the penthouse was unique and expensive, millennia of history blended into fashionable decor.
Maze followed suit, sniffing and investigating every corner and crevice of the abandoned penthouse.
The distinct sound of a fridge opening made you turn towards the bar and cringe.
“I’d just leave that closed,” you commented, a shiver of disgust involuntarily crawling down your spine.
“What in the hell is this?” Coop pulled out a very brightly colored goop, one that you’d been too horrified to even touch after Lucifer had left, and then the world had ended.
“It’s uh,” you cleared your throat. “Lube.”
Amusement twitched on the ghoul’s features as he cracked the old jar open.
“Please don’t,” you muttered, not bothering to watch the scene unfold.
He’d specially ordered it from some Korean sex store, claiming that it tasted like bubblegum and caused all “bits and bobs to tingle”.
You slipped back into your brother’s room, pushing aside the old painting to get into the vault. The thrum of divinity always grew in intensity near artifacts, but this specific one lit a fire in your chest.
Lucifer had felt a connection to the Blade of Death, and Amenadiel had always been affixed to the Key, but you…
You clicked the lock open- the combination was Chloe’s birthday- and reached out, power strumming in the air.
Your fingers closed around the Medallion of Life, the world righting itself a little more around you. The three divine artifacts that made up the Flaming Sword, the three children of God that made up the three realms- there was an unbreakable tether between you and the medallion, which you’d strung around your neck.
“What’s that?”
It was Lucy who asked, who had followed you into your brother's room.
“Family heirloom,” you said, tucking the medallion beneath your jumpsuit.
Her eyes slid to the bed, still perfectly made, gazing with longing. Exhaustion had hit your party hard, the long days of traveling with the lack of adequate rations and an overbearing sun had left your companions little more than a tangle of limbs at night.
“Have the bed,” you told her, turning to walk out of the room.
“Hey,” she interrupted the quiet gently, thoughtfully. “How is it possible? That your brother owned this place?”
You breathed out a sigh, pausing momentarily.
“I’m a lot older than I look.”
Cooper was still rifling around the bar when you returned, his hat perched precariously on a shelf. Maze had jumped onto the couch, satisfied with her assessment of the new space and now content to just doze off.
Your gazes met, and instead of offering him the second room- your room- you nodded your head in a gentle goodnight, and walked the familiar path to rest. Your fingertips traced the walls, nostalgia threatening to bubble up, to form tears in your eyes.
You wouldn’t let it, wouldn’t let memories drown you in sorrow.
Don’t forget who you are.
But you wanted to.
You wanted to be anything but that person, but the person who hurt when others did, who couldn’t stand to watch anyone in pain.
The door to your room creaked open, the bright colors faded to vignette, like an old film. It still looked relatively the same- closet full of color, books lining the wall, retired weapons collecting dust like trophies.
Your bed looked so warm and inviting, and as much as you wanted to fall into the sheets and sleep for a decade, you decided it was best to maintain some amount of hygiene.
You chucked your boots off, throwing them somewhere in the wide, open space. Your socks and jumpsuit were quick to follow, leaving you in just your bra and underwear.
The dresser drawers groaned with disuse, but opened with relative ease. You snagged an old t-shirt you’d stolen from some one night stand you didn’t bother remembering- the name of some old band plastered on the front in an eerie font- and a new pair of panties. Considering it’d been 200 years, you were surprised that they were in such good condition.
They smelled a little dusty and stale, but honestly, that was better than anything the Wasteland produced.
Just as you’d been about to slither into bed and sleep like the dead, the jingle of spurs sounded down the hallway, headed straight for you. Coop was slow, controlled, like he was having a conversation with himself on the walk over.
You listened intently, sitting on the edge of your bed as he decided whether he wanted to speak to you or not.
Slowly, with more caution than you’d ever seen from him, your door opened. The expression he wore was hesitant, and your heart squeezed at seeing some of the confidence in his swagger chipped away.
It struck you then, that you’d seen him play a similar role sometime back in his golden days. He’d been an apologetic cowboy, begging his lady love for forgiveness. She’d given it to him then, had confessed her undying love and then they’d rode off into the sunset, presumably to live happily ever after.
Not for the first time, you wondered if he saw the scene play in his head, if he remembered a time when all the bad disappeared with a shout of “cut”.
“What do you need?”
He shifted from foot to foot, an internal debate, before he took a step forward.
“The dog’s taking up the couch.”
A flimsy excuse. A real one, if it were you, but you knew he didn’t truly care about the comfort of Maze.
“And?”
You quirked a brow, not giving any grace. If he wanted something, he’d have to ask- nicely.
He sucked on his teeth, fingers running the brim of his hat.
“Really gonna make a man beg, sweetheart?“
“I usually do,” you met him with a pointed stare, leaning back on your elbows.
His gaze ran the length of your legs, drinking in the sight of your bare, smooth skin. Like a man possessed, he fell before you, dropped straight to his knees.
“I ain’t ever begged before,” he murmured, the tips of his fingers ghosting along your ankles. “Ain’t gonna start now.”
A smile tugged at your lips- slow and sweet, a woman who knew her worth.
“Not now,” you agreed with a hum, watching from beneath your lashes as he pressed the skin of your ankle to his lips, moving up a few inches before repeating the action. “But you will.”
A shiver ran the length of your spine when his touch reached the inside of your thigh, a smirk pulling on his mouth. He tugged at your underwear, sliding it down your legs at a torturous pace.
“Is that so?”
His breath was warm against your skin, the vibrations from his voice pressed against your legs. It was a sight to behold, him on his knees before you, worshipping each inch of yourself bared to him.
“Pretty as a peach,” he breathed, eyes drinking in the sight of your exposed cunt.
You hummed teasingly, the sound turning to a breathy moan of his name as he bit the soft flesh of your thigh.
“I’m not in the mood for games, Coop,” you told him, leveling him with an even stare.
He kept eye contact as he licked a long, hard stripe up your cunt. Your breath stuttered, muscles tensing at the sensation.
“Neither am I.”
You barely had time to register the words, to understand the insulation, before he pressed his face against you, his tongue flicking desperately against your clit.
You cursed, hands knocking the hat off his head as you grabbed onto the back of his neck, holding him there. Your back arched when he sucked, his teeth just barely scraping against your sensitive nub.
He was ravenous, his tongue finding a harsh rhythm against your clit, sucking up every drop of wetness you gave him like he’d been without water for a week. The pressure in your stomach unraveled, muscles straining under the building tension.
Your body sung, pleasure climbing higher and higher.
Coop pulled away, and you nearly sobbed at the loss of his mouth, before his fingers- somehow devoid of his gloves in the chaos- were pressing into you.
“So fuckin’ sweet,” his accent was thick, honeyed.
You had maybe a second before-
A wanton moan tore itself from your parted lips, his name a prayer on your lips as his other hand held you open, his tongue relentless against your slick heat.
His finger was pumping in and out of you, quickly joined by another as he stretched you open for him.
You were saying his name over and over now, pressure building with each swipe of his tongue or curl of his finger. You were pleading with him, at the edge of it all wanting to just plunge into your pleasure.
Your legs flexed, tried to close, but Cooper held them open as your chest fluttered. Each touch was fire, so hot your body burned in an inferno of your desire.
Cooper. Cooper. Fuck.
Unintelligible words fell from your lips, growing in volume as you fell into the feel of him, pleasure bursting through your veins. You might’ve screamed his name then, might’ve drew blood with your fingernails as he tongue fucked you through your orgasm.
It took you a moment to catch your breath, and another to realize he was crawling up your body, pride plastered in the smirk he wore.
You’d give it to him, that was one hell of an orgasm.
But, you didn’t want him to have the satisfaction. Not yet.
“Coop,” you warned, holding your hand against his chest.
The heart that beat beneath your palm was pounding with excitement.
“Darlin’,” he cooed the syllables, sweet as sugar.
If you were made of lesser stuff, you might’ve leaned into his touch, might’ve bunched his shirt in your fist and pressed your lips to his- but you weren’t, and you didn’t. Instead, you met his gaze, keeping him suspended above you.
You rocked to the side then, your leg wrapped around his middle while you flipped the both of you over, pinning him beneath you. It surprised him, the strength you displayed, so unlike when he’d had you on your knees.
You didn’t have to say anything then, didn’t even have to tell him what you were thinking. He could see it, could recognize the look in your eyes, and nodded.
He laid back, observing you above him. You wished you could tell what he was thinking, what caused the furrow of his now-gone brows.
A note floated between you, more joining with a skilled precision to create a beautiful melody.
A familiar melody.
Coop was already pushing you off him, feet pounding against the ground as you struggled to throw a pair of old sweatpants on. You were tripping over yourself, all uncoordinated limbs and excitable actions and you ran out the door and into the hallway, a few feet behind Coop.
He was already slinging insults, his gun cocked with a threat by the time you rounded the corner. You couldn’t hear what he was saying, couldn’t even see the worried expression on Lucy’s brow as you stared at the piano, the very same that had laid abandoned, silent, for 200 years.
There, in the center of the room, with a wide, devilish smile and a pristine suit, fingers sprawled across the keys, sat Lucifer.
