[uncleclaudius]

The Lyon Tablet, a transcript of the speech Emperor Claudius had given in the Senate in 48 AD, arguing for the admission of senators from Gaul.

1. I should say at the outset that I reject the first thought that will, I am sure, be the very first thing to stand in my way: namely that you will recoil from my suggestion as though I were introducing some revolutionary innovation.  Think, instead, of how many changes have taken place over the years in this state and how many forms and constitutions our state has had, from the time of its very foundation.

2. At one time this city was held by kings, though they did not pass it along to successors from their own families. People from other families came to the throne and even some foreigners.  Numa, for example, succeded Romulus, and was a Sabine; that made him a neighbor, certainly, but at the time he was also a foreigner. Another example is Tarquinius Priscus, who succeded Ancus Marcius: because of his impure blood--his father was the Corinthian Demaratus and his mother was from Tarquinii, to Tarquinius Priscus supposedly had a Greek father and an Etruscan mother. And though well-born she was very poor, which is why she was forced to marry such a husband.--Tarquinius was kept from positions of honor in his own land and thus emigrated to Rome, where he became king.  Between Tarquinius and either his son or his grandson (for our authorities disagree on this point) there came Servius Tullius.  And according to the Roman sources Servius Tullius had as a mother a prisoner of war, Ocresia; according to the Etruscans he had been the faithful companion of Caelius Vivenna and took part in his adventures, and later, when he was driven out by a change of fortune, he left Etruria with all the suriving troops of Caelius and seized the Caeliian hill, which thus takes its name from his leader Caelius, and after changing his name (for his Etruscan name was Mastarna) he was given the name I have already mentioned, and became king, to the very great advantage of the state. Then, after the behavior of Tarquinius Superbus came to be hated by our city--and not only his behavior but that of his sons--the people obviously became tired of monarchy, and the administration of state was transferred to the consuls, who were annual magistates.

3. Why need I mention the dictatorship--more powerful even than the consulship--which was what our ancestors came up with when wars were particularly hard or there was serious civil disturbance?  Or why need I mention the the creation of tribunes of the plebs, to provide assistance for the plebs?  Why mention transfer of imperium from consuls to the decemviri, and at the end of the reign of the decemviri the return of imperium back to the consuls?  Why mention the distribution of the consular power to multiple recipients, called tribunes of the soldiers with consular power, who were first six and then eight in number?  Why should I mention the fact that offices that were once patrician ones were shared eventually with the plebeians, religious ones as well as military?

4. If I were to tell of the wars, which our ancestors started with and which have continued down to the present day, I fear that I would appear too boastful, and look as though I wanted to boast about my glory in extending the empire beyond the Ocean.  But let me instead return to my original point.  Citizenship can ... [some text is lost here]

[column II]

5. Certainly it was a new thing when my great-uncle Augustus and my uncle Tiberius decided to admit into this Senate house the flower of the coloniae and the cities from all over the empire--all of them good and wealthy men of course.  But, you may say, is not an Italian senator more useful than a provincial one?  When I start explaining this aspect of my censorship I will reveal what I think about that.   But certainly I  think that provincials should not be rejected, as long as they will be a credit to the Senate.

6. Behold that most glorious and flourishing colony of Vienne: how long has it provided senators for this chamber?  From Vienne comes an ornament of the equestrian order with few equals, Lucius Vestinus, whom I esteem greatly and retain even now in my service.   May his children, I beseech you, enjoy priesthoods of the first rank, and after that, in the years to come, may they proceed to further honors.  (I will not utter the dire name of that brigand—I detest him, that monster of the wrestling-ring—or the fact that he acquired the consulship for his family before his colony had ever obtained the solid benefit of the Roman citizenship.  And I could say the same thing about his brother, who suffered a pathetic and fate, and was thus no use to you as a senator.)

7. It is time now, Tiberius Caesar Germanicus, to reveal to the senators where your speech is headed; for you have already come to the extreme limits of Gallia Narbonensis.

8. Consider all the distinguished young men I see before me: the fact that they are senators should cause no more regret than that felt by Persicus--a most distinguished man and a friend of mine--when he reads the name Allobrogicus among the images of his ancestors.  And if you agree that this is true, what should I not also point out to you that the land beyond Gallia Narbonensis already sends you senators?  We do not, after all, regret that we have men in the senate from Lugdunum.

9. I was somewhat hesitant, senators, about leaving the boundaries of provinces that were well known to you, but now I must make the case for Gallia Comata with some seriousness.  If anyone concentrates on the fact that the Gauls resisted the divine Julius in war for ten years, he should consider that they have also been loyal and trustworthy for a hundred years, and had this loyalty tried to the utmost when we were in danger.  They it was who provided my father Drusus with secure internal peace when he was conquering Germany, even though he was summoned to the war while in the middle of a census, which was then a new and strange business for the Gauls.  And we know from our own experience how difficult the census can be, even though for us it involves nothing more than the public recording of our resources. (tr. E. M. Smallwood)

“lucifer cares more about the sixth time or the three hundredth time” !!!!! yeah because he never thought he’d have that, and especially not with chloe. so like, every moment they share feels impossibly sweeter than the previous because it’s another step they take together, because she’s still choosing him. again and again, everyday she chooses him, and it’s still hard to believe some days but it’s also ~everything. honestly one of my favourite things about this fic is past!lucifer asking about the future and realizing just how loving and committed their relationship is. it’s the mix of total disbelief but utter happiness that leaves him feeling the most content he has in millennia — or ever, actually. now excuse me while i go cry because what the hell, his favourite kiss is their five hundredth because it came after their four hundred ninety ninth, because even after four hundred ninety nine kisses she still wants to kiss him, she’s still by his side and she’s unmovable. because four hundred ninety nine kisses aren’t enough. (once again, i'm sorry i’m always rambling in your mentions but the things you write are just so beautiful and they make me so emotional!)

:')

You said it far better than I could.

[asleepinawell]

have you ever considered writing a book? or like, an original story? you're so damn talented, i'd read your stuff all day everyday. (i kinda do already.)

hah, yes. i started writing when i was smol and attempted my first novel when i was…hmmm…somewhere between 10-12. it was about a badass princess whose family and friends were shitty to her all the time but she could turn into a dragon and incinerate them (she didn’t but she could have). it was 100% a self-insert character and honestly not a bad childhood coping mechanism. i never came close to finishing it. after that i’ve had a steady stream of novels-i-never-finish and a bunch of short stories i never did anything with. way less in the last few years (since i started writing fics full time), but i did start yet another one shortly before i started stc (it was abandoned).

one of the hurdles i run into is that the more world building i do before i start writing something, the harder i find it to write and the faster i lose interest. which makes no sense, but here we are. i’m not completely sure why, but it’s a steady pattern. it’s harder to start cold on original stuff because, unlike fics, there’s nothing to build off of. even for a complete au fic i’ve still got a grasp of the characters and plot elements from the source material, which is enough to give me something to riff on.

there’s also something uniquely nice about fic writing that doesn’t exist in original writing…the fic fandom audience. i enjoy writing in chapter installments and getting positive feedback after each chapter motivates me to keep writing. also there’s the fandom meta discussions which are great to read and sometimes help give me a new perspective on characters or plot elements. that stuff is just so nice?

and so far i’ve found it impossible to write fics and original stuff simultaneously. partly because time, but mostly because i obsessively focus on stuff when i write and i can only do that for one thing at a time. and at the moment i’m just really enjoying writing shoot fics.

thank you so much for the lovely ask. i’ve been in a Mood about my writing recently (not for any real reason…it’s just a writer’s thing that happens…it’ll go away on its own) so this was a great message to get. and sorry i rambled.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU 🤍

I woke up this morning to 300 followers and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all of your support!!

It might not be a lot for some people but I have to say Tumblr is not only about numbers for me, I just like posting about things I like, making gifsets that bring me joy and if someone else enjoys my content, it’s always a bonus 🤍

The amount of love I have received the last few weeks has been incredible and I want to say how grateful I am for every single reblog, like, message, keyboard-smashing tag I have ever gotten under one of my edits 🤍

A lot of you started following me this month after I got back into Tumblr and I really appreciate every single one of you for welcoming me back and reminding of why I used to spend so much time on this (sometimes hell-like) website!!

I have extra appreciation for those of you who followed me waaaaaaaaay back when I mostly giffed Bellarke and Sethkate 🤍 You guys have managed to follow me for all those years and I just have extra room for all of you in my heart.

I have to say being back here has helped take my mind off things and has helped me heal so much. I have had time to focus on myself, my interests, my own well-being and it’s been so soothing to be here and to just feel okay.

For the time being, I just want to keep making gifs and sharing all of your beautiful content. I hope you will enjoy the few gifset ideas I have been thinking about and feel free to make requests (preferably Deckerstar/Sethkate but there’s definitely room for discussion if it’s something else for a show/movie I like) 🤍

[coffee-is-below-my-standards]

@ocresia me and that normero au I was rambling at you about 😭

i am. so sorry if i have ever used the phrase “i have an au where—” and led you to believe that there is an actual fic out there for you to read rather than, at best, a post where i explain the concept, and at worst it is simply something that lives in my brain

[thewollfgang]

hi wolf! how are you? i was reading too well tangled for the hundredth time (you're gonna think i’m exaggerating but i’d say it’s pretty accurate — obsessed doesn’t even begin to cover it!) and i’ve just realized i have never commented on chapter 5. so let me fix that.

it was everything i was expecting and more! you absolutely knocked it out of the part. ugh, the angst. so delightfully painful to read.

i love the dynamic between the two chloe’s and lucifer. i love how you write them, all with their arguments, fears, weaknesses and strengths, and all not knowing how to approach the other or what to do with everything they’re feeling. so many perspectives, so much hurt, and man, i just feel so bad for all of them. lucifer — to be presented with the complete acceptance and love he’s always dreamed of but never got, and how it blows up in his face the moment he dares to enjoy it. future!chloe and being ripped away from her family and thrown in the past where she has to witness an emotionally difficult period for both herself and lucifer. and sure she’s forearmed with knowledge that no one else has and obviously she has faith in herself and lucifer and that they’ll find a way to each other in every timeline, but it must be incredibly hard to watch as your presence alters your past and causes a rift between you and the love of your life (even if it’s technically not your life but another you’s life). i wonder if she grieves over the idea that this past!deckerstar won’t be able to experience what she and her lucifer did, or if she rejoices at what they’ll get instead, at the idea that maybe this past version of herself won’t end up in rome and conspire with an evil priest and how that’ll avoid them so many problems, like for example lucifer going back to hell (sigh). and finally past!chloe, who definitely got the worst end of the deal. all the hurt and confusion and betrayal, being in an unwanted relationship, lucifer still holding the “chloe” and “detective” distinction and carelessly using it as a weapon against her to imply that he’s much happier with chloe, not to mention the fucking earth shattering factor of time travel and divinity reveal — i just want to give her a hug. sigh. Lucifer would appear out of nowhere, but he couldn’t seem to hear her no matter how loudly Chloe called him. Lucifer would pass her by for her reflection without a glance. this was heart-wrenching! you managed to perfectly encompass chloe's fears always but especially now looking at a seemingly perfect other chloe who connects with lucifer in ways she has never been able to. again, i want to give her a hug!

you gotta love future!chloe’s cheekiness though. You could have that, you know. Have him, if you wanted. [wink wink] we didn’t get her perspective in this chapter, but something i always wonder about is whether her casual “love you” to lucifer in front of herself was just a slip of the tongue and out of habit, or if she was trying to get a rise out of past!chloe/nudge her in the right direction. and that picture of them being domestic and flirty and in love on the beach? [groans]

and finally, that last scene — you blew my mind. god, i feel like there aren’t enough words to express how much i love it. it was utter perfection. you nailed their voices and headspaces once again: the hurt they both harbour, their understandable jealousy and yet the hypocrisy of it, the anguish at having everything they’ve ever wanted right in front of them but their inability to take the last step. i love arguments where both characters have valid points and yet they’re both wrong, and that’s the case in this scene. i love how you wrote the complexities in both characters and how negatively their personalities reflected each other.

Did you kiss her? […] Yes. […] Did you have sex with her? [screams] i have to SCREAM!!!! these lines just do something to me. i love how she’s hampered by jealousy that she knows is misplaced and ridiculous because she’s with pierce and lucifer has made no promises to her and it’s literally her, and yet she can't help it. because on some level she knows he's in love with her and she knows she's in love with him and she knows they should be each other's and that he should "technically" (lmao) have sex with her but at the same time they're just so!!! it’s a fucking mess, but it’s so, SO great to read!

How could you — how could you do this to me, Lucifer? this line. THIS LINE! past!lucifer and future!chloe talked about how future!lucifer would react to them hooking up but i wonder if future!chloe ever really thought about how past!chloe would feel about it. if future!chloe would understand why past!chloe would be upset about it, or if she’d be too secure in her relationship and feelings to. it’s also amazing how this line feels like season 4 but twisted up. bring on that delicious angst! and speaking of season 4 angst, i suspect lucifer’s self-hatred might manifest a season early? “Don’t touch me.” He looks down at his hand, fear on his face. “No,” he whispers softly to himself, “No, not like this.” […] He shoves his hand deep in his pocket and looks up. Something like fear flickers in his eyes. he's made so many mistakes in his impossibly long life and loathes himself for many things, but i love how it's feeling like he betrayed/disappointed her and her pain that bring out the red this time. my mouth is watering just thinking about the potential that him turning at this point in the story would have! i wonder if future!chloe would be able to help him transform back because she has the experience and knows exactly what to do, or if he’d actually need his chloe.

She loves me. She knows exactly who and what I am, and she chose me! Me! 😭😭😭😭😭

I wanted to be with you! Crazy Devil stuff and all! I kissed you, thought we had something, and a week later you say we’re just friends. […] You ran away and got married to someone else. Remember that? So now because you've changed your mind, but I'm in a relationship with someone else and you're jealous, it's my fault? when i flip a table, THEN WHAT. thank you for bringing up the fact the lucifer would always run hot and cold with chloe in the first few seasons. he would get close to her and make her feel like they were going somewhere then just run away with very little consideration to her feelings. i mean, we know why he did that, and sure, it was even honourable at times, but she didn't (she still doesn't, really) and that’s obviously incredibly confusing and hurtful. it’s one of the things i hope they address in season 6. so yeah, i love that you wrote her as slightly unreachable, and that she's standing her ground and asking for more time. and don’t get me wrong, i love how lucifer is champing at the bit now that he knows he can actually have a future with chloe but he can’t possibly be serious when he tells her she can’t keep running away when he’s run away from it just as much, if not more! even though it is in character.

His anger crumbles. “I’m sorry. Have mercy, please. Everything I ever wanted was right in front of me. I-” His words stop. “What did you expect me to do?” he asks again, and he looks completely and abjectly miserable. i just!!! [clenches fists]

And again, she’s left wondering what’s so fundamentally wrong with her. 😭😭😭😭😭

“Chloe,” he says and she recoils. What was once cherished syllables now only reminds her he says them freely to another woman. oh my god. oh my GOD

If you want to be with me, then why aren’t you with me! makes me go absolutely feral every time i read this chapter.

i believe i’ve said this before but i think qutab’s amulet brought chloe back to her weakest point, instead of lucifer’s. because sure, lucifer was going through it in season 3, but chloe struggled just as much (if not more). what, with lucifer’s mercurial moods and pierce and being pulled in every direction and making hard and bad choices and constantly feeling like she was on shaky grounds and then finally finding out the truth. it was a lot. and now with future!chloe being there — it’s definitely going to expedite things, right? it already has in a way. i mean, if chloe is starting to accept that lucifer is the devil, what he said about pierce lying to her might finally resonate with her. i can’t wait to see if she’ll break up with him and what that will cause, especially because pierce’s curse hasn’t be lifted yet in your story and that’s the only thing he’s ever been interested in. i’ve scrolled through some of the snippets you��ve posted and it looks like chloe will get kidnapped? my theory is that pierce will hold her hostage to convince lucifer to find a way to get him what he wants (because like, he knows there’s no length lucifer wouldn’t go for chloe). it’d be fun if he didn’t recognize the small changes between past!chloe and future!chloe and took future!chloe instead. i think it’d be interesting to see how he’d react to a more confident chloe that he can't manipulate. god, she’d kick his ass all the way to hell, that’d be so hot! it’d also be cool if future!lucifer got there just to find out that that ham faced dullard has his wife and the two lucifer’s went fully berserk mode on him together (with past!chloe’s help and support of course). but the idea of future!chloe and past!lucifer rescuing past!chloe is equally appealing and — okay, now i’m just rambling!

one last thing before i wrap this up — any chance i can persuade you to write a missing moment/short one shot of the morning after scene between future!chloe and past!lucifer once you’re done with the story? please. i have chocolate, or you know, anything you might like and desire if you’re not a fan of chocolate? 🥺

okay. anyways. this is so long and i’m so terribly sorry that i’m once again ranting in your asks, but this fic makes me feel so many things (so many of them!) and i hope you know how appreciate you are and what a gift you are to this fandom! i hope summer is treating you well. x

oh my gosh, the thrill i got when I saw your message. I didn't answer it right away because I wanted to savor it and re-read it a few times :D but now it is the time! So, here we go:

Hello! I am doing well! I'm so glad you enjoy too well tangled enough to re-read it! that makes me really happy. Chapter 5 was rough with the angst, but sometimes things have to get worse before they get better.

Even with Future!Chloe circumventing Lucifer's sleep deprivation, S3!Chloe and Lucifer were do for an argument, it was going to happen one way or another with him continuously playing hot and cold and the jealousy and hurt that was already there, even before Future!Chloe accidentally added fuel to that fire. She's not yet aware of the effect she's had on her past self, but she's going to feel very badly about it. (especially with the events that are about to happen in ch6&7) she definitely wants things to be easier for her past self and Lucifer.

The argument was definitely supposed to be a "neither one is right, neither one is wrong and they're both being hurtful". You've absolutely got it. It always surprises me when readers will pick a side lol theyre BOTH idiots.

Did you kiss her? […] Yes. […] Did you have sex with her? [screams] i have to SCREAM!!!!

This was one of my favorite parts, too! and one of the first written three years ago when i started working on this idea.

it’s also amazing how this line feels like season 4 but twisted up. bring on that delicious angst! and speaking of season 4 angst, i suspect lucifer’s self-hatred might manifest a season early?

>;) maybe. With some of season 3 circumvented and the beginning of s4 altered, I'm definitely pulling threads from s4 along with the s3 finale.

s3!Chloe has been so in the dark with Lucifer and the other forces at work, it's no wonder she's so confused. No wonder in 5x21 she breaks down crying over Lucifer trying to win her from Pierce. She must feel like it''s some sort of cruel game since she's been totally ignorant of what he's done for her and how he feels. (I also hope we see some of this addressed in s6!)

i believe i’ve said this before but i think qutab’s amulet brought chloe back to her weakest point, instead of lucifer’s. because sure, lucifer was going through it in season 3, but chloe struggled just as much (if not more).

This is one of those happy accidents that I WILL pretend I intended the whole time. Originally, it was only supposed to be Lucifer's worst moment, or, at least, the worst moment in which he was weakest-still vulnerable, facing an immortal enemy, losing the love of his life etc etc, but the more folks commented on it, the more it made sense that it was also (or MORE so) Chloe's weakest point, or leading up to it. So I will say it's both!

I'm LOVING your theories. I won't say what parts you've guessed right, but I hope you'll also enjoy the parts I hope will be surprising.

any chance i can persuade you to write a missing moment/short one shot of the morning after scene between future!chloe and past!lucifer once you’re done with the story? please. i have chocolate, or you know, anything you might like and desire if you’re not a fan of chocolate? 🥺

You know, I don't see why not! I hadn't really envisioned too much about their morning. It was mostly cuddles and breakfast, but if the inspiration strikes I'll see what happens. (also, I love chocolate :D)

also PLEASE always feel free to rant in my inbox i fucking LOVE it, it literally MADE MY WHOLE DAY. I'd open tumblr up and tab over to my inbox just to read it again. I'd been a bit down over this fic and the words of encouragement and this ask made me feel so much better. thank you :') sending All The Love right back at ya. <3

[thewollfgang]

aw wolf! you warmed my heart. i'm gonna rant in your inbox all the time if it makes you happy :)

i just saw that you're posting chapter 6 next week and i'm over the moon!!! i can't wait to see what you've cooked up for us and how the dynamic changes between all the characters. i'm guessing after the argument between lucifer and chloe, the chapter will focus more on past!chloe investigating the case and past!lucifer spending some time with future!chloe? i wonder if they're gonna talk about lucifer fighting with past!chloe and what future!chloe will have to say about that. there's a snippet you posted where future!chloe looks a bit uncertain about cuddling up to lucifer and i can't stop thinking about it! it also looks like future!lucifer might make an appearance soon — which by the way, i can't wait to see how he too will complicate things for past!chloe and past!lucifer. because like lmao, future!chloe and future!lucifer are both obviously coming from a good place, but the four of them are all just a bunch of idiots (respectfully). so of course they're gonna make a mess before they can figure their shit out.

but anyways, whatever direction you decided to take, i know you're gonna blow my mind and that i'll be re-reading the chapter a dozen times in a row! (it doesn't help that season 6 drops three days after you post the chapter. god, it's gonna be a very long weekend!)

about that one shot about future!chloe and past!lucifer's morning after — listen, i'd read 10k words about them just lying in bed asleep if you wrote them! no but i've been wondering about their morning after ever since you posted chapter 4. like, even before reading chapter 5, that was the thing i thought about the most. it's just so interesting and fascinating to me because you have these two characters who are at completely different points in their lives and somehow they end up meeting in the middle. like just, imagine season 3 lucifer waking up to chloe decker — the love of his life, chloe jane decker. a version of chloe who knows him and loves him and supports him — like he probably didn't even sleep that night? and chloe has been there before, has already had a first morning after with lucifer, so waking up to past!lucifer shouldn't be much of a novelty but it also feels entirely different than anything she's ever experienced? and god, there are so many different scenarios to explore. like, chloe wanting to make them some breakfast but lucifer not letting her leave the bed because he wants to hold her a little while longer. or chloe studying past!lucifer and noticing all the differences between him and her lucifer. or them making french toast together and lucifer not being able to stop touching chloe. and i don't know, just a whole lot of domesticity and lucifer's heart exploding because? this is all he's ever wanted? and now he knows there's at least one universe in which he gets it? help i can't stop thinking about it! so [inconspicuously slides you a five pound chocolate bar across the table] (and also, if you ever need to bounce ideas off of someone, you know where to find me! i clearly have so many of them, and it'd be an honour!)

okay. this is another very long message lmao. i hope you're doing well and i can't wait to read the new chapter and also your thoughts about season 6 when we get it. have a great week! 💙

It always makes me happy :D

I hope you enjoyed the chapter! You guessed correctly, definitely focusing on S3!Chloe and wrapping the case up so I never have to watch AoSB episode EVER AGAIN.

As for Future!Lucifer making an appearance soon....perhaps ;)

I won't be able to watch s6 when it drops so I will be AWOL for a bit, so I wanted to get the chapter out ahead of time.

Hahah seems like you've practically written it yourself! I love those ideas. There might be a few outtake scenes, but I'm not sure yet. One scene I THOUGHT was going to be "off screen" so to speak has now found it's way into my outline, so who knows?

I'm doing well over all! Allergies are kicking my ass right now, but it could be worse. [munches on massive chocolate bar] You have a lovely day too!

i say 77 for the ask game and i hope you’re having a good week :)

Actual word count: 83 (here's a piece) and so far so good! But it's only Tuesday, we will see how it goes :D

.

“Have you gotten any sleep at all these past few nights?” 

“Not really.”

“I've noticed humans tend to make poor decisions when sleep deprived.”

“Oh, humans, huh?” 

He rumbles, amused, her ear against his chest. “I, of course, am above such petty foibles.”

[thewollfgang]

hi! i’m the anon from yesterday. i thought it’d be easier to just dm you instead of sending you dozens of asks but you only allow messages from tumblrs you follow so yeah.

i agree with your beta. i think chloe tells him he’s worthy everyday, and even more importantly, she shows him. canonically, we know he doesn’t feel like he’s good enough, deserving enough, so i think chloe is all like, “if you can’t see it yet, if you can’t see you’re wonderful and so very worthy, i’ll believe it enough for the both of us.” she’s just that kind of reassuring, sweet, warm girlfriend, you know? and through her patience and her love, he’s finally going to see himself for who he truly is, rather than what history and religion led him to believe he was.

gosh, no. lucifer wouldn't be caught dead using baby or babe. it just doesn't sound like him. i think he really only ever calls her detective, chloe and love. joe said we’re getting some pet names in season 6 so i really, really hope we get a scene where he calls her love and that it’s a sweet, intimate moment as opposed to what we got in 5.13 where the honey sounded a little too flippant for my liking. (though to be honest i think that was more for linda’s sake and proving that he could be in a relationship/be the doting boyfriend than anything else)

okay, i’m rambling again lmao i’m just gonna shut up now. i’m neens by the way, so nice to meet you!

Haha yeah I'm a hermit, sorry about that! But I also prefer asks because then I can easily find them and read them again when I'm having a bad day :3

Chloe is very warm! And I think Lucifer needed to hear that she considers him worthy and her and his opinion are the only ones that matter when it comes to their relationship together.

Yeah, the honey felt a little much, but he was trying too hard and attempting to prove a point to Linda. Silly devil. But! He has canonically called Chloe darling ("Are you well, darling?") and I believe he calls her either dear or darling when he hands her a drink in early S1. So I definitely lean toward those. I would love to hear him use "love".

You're not rambling, it's lovely to hear from you! A pleasure to meet ya, Neens. ❤️

@copiasass Jonah u are a gentleman and a scholar, thank you for the ~vibes~

@ocresia thank you! I'm still waffling on some of the scenes that come directly from the episode itself and how disjointed the start of the chapter feels. It's probably time to get a little beta feedback, but I want the chapter to be a little more together before I have another pair of eyes look at it, since it's a bit fragmented at the moment

i want to write so bad and yet i just CANT why is my brain like thisssss
