satan's pov

note: sorry for not posting this, i had forgotten about this little oneshot series while doing schoolwork and being engrossed in the 4.0 genshin impact update.

satan was furious even after the first day when you disappeared, it only grew worse as time passed. satan tried to contain his anger for the longest time, but he just pushed it down until it exploded causing massive damage and problems.

satan was then treated like he used to be treated when he was first born and was chained up and shoved into his room to calm down. that’s where satan spent most of his days, chained in his room rereading whatever books he had inside his room.

satan avoided romance novels and mystery novels, some of his favorite types of books because they reminded him so much of you. how you and him would sit cuddled close in the library reading together or him reading to you. those memories sent satan into a rage, but the rage was more fueled by his sadness than anything.

satan misses you, he felt like the moment you went missing, the moment your pact with him severed that he lost a part of himself, like another part of who he was, was just gone now. satan didn’t understand it at first, it was another unfamiliar and indescribable feeling to him, now he does understand it; you made satan more into who he was and now that you were gone from his life, that piece of him was gone.

satan wishes for you to come back to him, to release him from these chains that were put back on him because of his wrath. satan wants you to come back home to him, to hug him and tell him everything is going to be okay. satan wants to see your caring and loving gaze again.

satan wants the days of you resting your head against him in the library while he read softly to you. satan wants the days where you would join him with a prank against lucifer, or the days where you would scold him if the prank was a tad bit too harsh or got someone else hurt instead of lucifer.

satan misses you, and even the effects you had on him and his brothers that were slowly disappearing more and more the longer you’re gone from their lives. satan begs for you to come home, he feels lonely and broken without you, however at the same time he hopes you’re safe wherever you were taken too.

"This is it!" Mammon squeezed the magazine he was reading with both hands. He brought the page closer to his face to scour the words one more time. Then he announced, "It's perfect!"

Lucifer ignored him.

Mammon pushed his shades up so his bright blue eyes would twinkle better in the candlelight. "Heya, big brother... My bestest big bro in all a' the three realms."

Lucifer continued to ignore him.

"Biiig brotherrrr. Big bro. You'll never guess what I just found in a million years." Mammon shuffled across the room and plopped down on the couch where Lucifer was sitting. He wrapped an arm around Lucifer's shoulders and leaned down to gaze up innocently, much to the elder's chagrin.

The magazine was shoved under Lucifer's nose, opened to a full page advertisement for a very flashy dragonscale necklace. It boasted multiple enchantments, numerous rave reviews from celebrity endorsers, and a price tag anyone would balk at.

"You have plenty of necklaces," Lucifer said with a dismissive nudge to drive Mammon out of his personal space. "You don't need any more. Now back up."

Mammon tutted and grabbed his magazine back. "No, no. Big bro, you just don' get it. Wouldn't this look great on our human?"

Lucifer's ear perked up for just a moment. The magazine fell into Mammon's lap as he raised his hands, getting ready to pitch his idea. Lucifer readied to humor him.

"Picture it. Their birthday or somethin' is comin' up, yeah? They wake up all giddy in the mornin'. They come into the living room that's all decked out with balloons and gems and--"

"Who will be decorating the living room?"

Mammon shushed him loudly, "that ain't important right now! Er, I mean... gah, just lemme finish!" He didn't want to get on Lucifer's bad side and risk losing funding for this necklace, but Mammon was in the zone. He felt lucky. "The human comes over to me, and I give 'em this pretty little box. They're excited. They open it to find this awesome necklace that glitters in the light, suits 'em perfectly, and they go 'oh Mammon! You're the greatest! I love you forever! You're my favorite! Thank you so much, Great Mam--'"

"I get the picture. I've heard enough." Lucifer interrupted before Mammon's highly inaccurate falsetto impersonation caused him to go deaf.

"So, are you gonna give me the cash to get it?" Mammon wondered if he could find a shop willing to haggle the price of the necklace down so that he could pick up some other nice things. As a treat.

"No."

Mammon groaned and slumped back, sliding halfway off the couch. He looked seconds away from kicking his feet. "What'd ya get my hopes up for, huh? C'mon, man! It's for the human!"

Lucifer picked up the magazine before it fell to the floor. He studied the necklace page while Mammon threw his mini tantrum. When the younger finally stopped swearing under his breath and noticed, he attempted to unceremoniously snag the magazine back. Lucifer had already turned away and held it out of his reach.

With a chuckle, Lucifer said, "This would suit them, wouldn't it? I can't wait to hear how much they love me when I present it to them."

THE LOOK

- The demon brothers

"Sometimes when I look into your eyes

I pretend you're mine, all the damn time"

"Haunted by the look in my eyes

That would've loved you for a lifetime"

- 401 words

- Nightbringer angst

••••••••••

He knows that look. Sometimes you look at him like that. Reminiscence, hope, love. Sometimes when the night falls, when he lays by your side, he can hear you whispering his name and telling how much you miss him. Why do you miss him when he's right here, right next to you?

He knows that look. That's the look you give him every morning, when you think that he hasn't woken up yet, when your fingers gently touch his face, when you whisper his name. You're calling his name, but why does his name sound so unfamiliar? Why does his name sound like you're calling someone who is not him? You are whispering his name, but he knows, he knows, he knows all too well, the name that you call is not his. You're whispering someone else's name, you're whispering your lover's name, the name that belongs to your true lover; and your lover has the same name as his, your lover has the same face as his and maybe the same personality, the same hobbies, the same habits, the same love for you. But not like them, he doesn't have your love.

You love someone else, it's obvious. He can tell it from the way you look at him. He hates to admit, but both of you know that he's just someone's understudy. You love someone else, the one who belongs to your world - the world where he doesn't exist. Your world, is it similar to his? He doesn't know. But your eyes are telling him that you don't belong to this world, so does your heart.

He finally found the world where he belongs, it's just not where you do.

Sometimes he will pretend that he's the one you're madly in love with, not just an understudy of the name you called, the face you missed. Sometimes he will pretend that the name from your lips is his name. Sometimes he will pretend that you were so so so in love with him, and this love made you couldn't get him out of your head even when you two were next to each other. Sometimes he will pretend that your "I love you" is for his.

He will keep pretending, because sometimes you will give him that look- the look that is meant only for him. Sorry, regret, pity.

He knows that look, but at least for now, you belong with him.

[ka1t0-s]

wait no because actually, if satans physical form was created the day they fell, as seen in that one card animation and possibly mentioned in nightbringer, not that I can remember atm,

and if lillith died the day that they fell, as it was too late to save her once she fell,

doesnt that make satans birthday the end of the war? or more importantly, the day lillith died??

[gifti3]

ceo au but its just mc surviving working as lucifer's assistant and asmo keeps flirting with them everytime he visits

[plenaurum]

I'm sorry I just--y'all actually care that much about how Solomon forged a pact with Asmo? I thought we all knew that he did it while Asmo was drunk. Like, yeah, he did it while Asmo couldn't give full consent because he was intoxicated and all that. And Asmo tried to charm Solomon into basically hooking up with him that same night.

Like? Of course Solomon did that? And I don't really care. And I'm saying this as someone who loves Asmo.

You know why I don't care? These are DEMONS! They manipulate and play with and even EAT humans all the time (allegedly unless they were just trying to scare MC)! No one here is morally sound. Solomon's actions are wrong but they aren't particularly evil to me. It just doesn't stand out.

[viriborne]

Do you guys think the grimoire that’s in the underground tomb, the one that Lucifer nearly killed Luke for just Existing around, is the same grimoire that Solomon wanted to use to gain leverage on the demons?

[marathedemonoverlord]

So just finished Lesson 17.... I'm sort of indifferent to the story but maybe now we're actually getting plot?

Kinda obsessed with Raphael and the cliffhanger left off makes me think we're getting content but we'll see. They might throw filler at us again this started strong but I'm getting unethused as it goes on (still gonna play it but the interest is dying are we going to address Nightbringer or drag it out for 3 Seasons so we NEVER go back to the future?)

Also I do feel bad for Solomon because I don't mean to neglect you Babes plot and my job as an attendant is forcing me back into the Stockholm Syndrome with them again I swear LOL (ಥ ͜ʖಥ)

leviathan's pov

leviathan panicked when he felt the connection to your pact snap. he thought you had broke it, that you didn’t want to have a pact with him anymore. leviathan found out much later after lucifer called a family meeting, lucifer explained that you had been sent to the past by an unknown person and that solomon was going to the past to look for you.

leviathan heard the protest of his brother’s, besides mammon, and the envy demon slinked off to his room to hide himself away and bury himself in his games and anime, so confident that someone like solomon could bring you home and quickly.

leviathan was so wrong as the days passed by and it had already been over 100 days since you disappeared. leviathan couldn’t focus on his games or his anime, not without the reminder that you were gone.

the envy demon locked himself in his room like always, but he refused to touch his games or anime, nor did he buy anymore. all of it reminding him of you and leviathan couldn’t take it, even though no matter how many times he’s told that he had nothing to do with it he still blames himself. like he drove you away from them to cause you to suddenly be kidnapped and dropped into the past that no one knows off.

leviathan only ate whenever beelzebub, who was trying to hold everyone together like mammon usually does, brought him a plate of dinner and set it outside his door. leviathan usually ate sometimes when beelzebub did this, but most times he would just snack on some chips in his room.

leviathan only usually came out when he had to take a shower or use the bathroom, which he managed to avoid everyone to get there and then avoid everyone to get back. beelzebub tried to coax leviathan out of his room sometimes, but failed everytime as beelzebub was just asked to go away.

leviathan continued on this way, just laying in his bathtub, only holding a special plushie you had made for him, which looked horrible, but held so much meaning to the envy demon. 

leviathan only held onto the plushie and begged for you to barge into his room like you always did and tell him everything was going to be alright, that he wasn’t to blame for anything that happened to you, and for you to kiss and hug him tightly.

(obey me!) moments where they fall in love with you all over again

---01

It’s dinner, and you’re talking about mundane things that happened during your day. You saw a cool bird, got some gum stuck on your shoe, and bought a new flavor of toothpaste to try. Everyone is listening intently. If only they would pay this much attention in class.

Lucifer knows the way his brothers look at you all too well. It’s a look full of respect, admiration, and fondness. It’s a look that’s often reflected on his own face when in your presence. At first he never really understood why you put up with his siblings, as the option to ignore them and be on your way was always there. Yet you continue to make time for them anyway. How unusual.

Moments like these where everyone is together and you don’t treat them as the Seven Rulers of Hell, you just treat them as your dear friends and family. That’s what makes Lucifer soft. He tries to imagine a long future of things staying just like this.

---02

Mammon’s hesitant to lend anybody money, even you. It takes a few minutes to butter him up and fluff his ego before he relents. At last, he hands you the crispest bill in his wallet. “Don’t spend it all in one place,” he kids, knowing full well he’d do just that if he was in your shoes.

He’s curious what you plan to buy. It never dawns on him that you have no intention of spending the cash. Half an hour later, he finds it on his desk. The exact same bill, now creased and folded neatly into an origami bird.

He picks it up to wiggle the little paper wings, entranced, then looks around frantically and catches your eye. A playful smile graces your face and tugs at his heartstrings.

---03

Leviathan is not typically one to make mistakes when it comes to anime. But even he’s not perfect.

He had it set in his mind that the new show premiered at 6:00pm, which left plenty of time to prepare the ultimate solo viewing party after school. He was humming quietly to himself when you walked over. “Isn’t your show starting soon?”

You specifically took an interest in his hobbies. You remembered that it started at 16:00 (four o’clock), not 6:00. Leviathan wondered, how could he make such a egregious mistake? You were the one who dashed back to the House of Lamentation at full speed by his side. When your human stamina started failing, he unconsciously picked you up so you’d both make it in time. You made it with two minutes to spare.

Sweaty and out of breath, still in uniform, you were able to watch the premiere together. It wasn’t until after credits rolled, you went elsewhere, and the live reactions on social media started calming down that Levi realized what a big deal this was to him. What a big deal you were to him.

---04

Satan wasn’t expecting you to be spacing out in his favorite armchair. He had plans to read in it that evening, and considered asking you politely to move. But the way the lamp light shines on your skin, the thoughtful expression on your face while pondering ideas unknown. The way your lips part ever so slightly and your eyes gaze off into nothing. It captivates him. You look like a painting. His breath gets caught in his throat, and in clearing it he manages to break your trance.

“Oh, hey. Welcome home, I didn’t realize you were there.”

You go to get out of the chair, but Satan insists you stay. It doesn’t look right without you anymore. He doesn’t feel right without you anymore.

---05

Asmodeus does not have wardrobe malfunctions often. His outfits are of the highest quality and a lot of care goes into putting them on. Still, things happen.

When his fans rush forward out of nowhere, sometimes they are successful in tearing his clothes. A fistful of shirt here, a mouthful of pants-leg there. Being in the center of a lust-fueled stampede can make even the most collected people lose their minds, but you are steadfast. You shout at the rabid demons, shaming them for their disrespect. You believe you can chase them off all on your own, not knowing that the Avatar of Lust behind you is exuding a killer aura and warning his fans to back off with a powerful glare.

As you sloppily stitch up what remains of his shirt so he can walk home without the incident repeating, Asmodeus is smiling from ear to ear. You’re so focused on genuinely helping that you don’t even notice the bedroom eyes he’s flashing. The scene of you waving your arms and trying to chase off a pack of demons as if they were stray pigeons is permanently ingrained in his memory. Just as your existence is ingrained in his soul.

---06

Beelzebub knows what he likes. He knows what will catch his interest and is pleasantly surprised when a new one crops up.

One thing he likes is you. Another is food. Both are in the cafeteria. He piles a tray high with carbs and goes looking for you at lunch time, finding you seated in the middle of a long table at the edge of the room. He calls your name.

It’s unexpected, the way you quickly swing your head up mid-bite. Your cheeks are full and noodles dangle from your mouth, sauce dripping back onto your plate. Your eyes light up as you look at him from below. It makes him stop in his tracks, causing several shorter demons to walk into him. Such a simple action, yet so profound. You hurriedly chew and offer him a seat while Beelzebub powers through his emotions. He takes a seat across from you to offer a napkin, wondering when he’ll see that face again.

---07

It’s late, far past everyone’s bedtime. Yet Belphegor forgot to tell you something during the day and decided now would be a great time. When you don’t respond to the quiet knocks at your door, he lets himself inside. Your sleeping figure looks too comforting to resist and he gets the brilliant idea to crawl into bed with you to whisper in your ear.

The problem is, as soon as he lifts the covers, you fart. It’s loud. You don’t move an inch, remaining fast asleep and ignorant of what just happened.

Belphegor freezes in his tracks to process it, but is soon doubled over on the futon laughing. The vibrations wake you. You sleepily open your eyes to see who is in hysterics and ask the obvious: “what?”

Belphegor is laughing too hard to tell you. He doesn’t want to tell you. It’s too priceless. You groggily smack him with a spare pillow and it makes him laugh harder. While he loves to look at you, that week it becomes difficult for him to meet your eyes without erupting into a fit of giggles.

hmm not sure how to feel about obey me running the same pop quiz concurrently in both games

there's a weird disconnect - the new ui and sfx of nightbringer did a good job of giving that disjointed feeling of being somewhere unfamiliar, but given that the pop quiz seems to be taking place in the present that mc came from, the nightbringer ui just feels.... off in the wrong way

given that i've got more resources there i'll probably keep using the original game to play the pop quizzes, but since you can get devil points for s ranking a rhythm stage in nightbringer, seems like these events will be a good place to farm some!

(though in the first place i'd rather they finish the nightbringer story before adding supplementary content like this)

I wonder how all those angst fic writers feel about a younger chained up satan being canon
