#the archangels thoughts about adam and lute

[emiimagination]

What’s the Archangels’ thoughts on Adam, Lute and the Exterminations?

That's an interesting question ^^ thanks for asking ^^

In my headcanons,

Michael is rather neutral about Adam. He has a hard time putting up with his pretentious behavior once he ascended to Heaven but he can understand the resentment he has towards Lilith. He himself holds a huge grudge against the Queen of Hell for seducing his brother and dragging him into her fall. But Adam has no interest in saying bad things about Lucifer in front of him and he knows it very well. Michael didn't agree with the Exterminations, always fearing a slip-up and that Lucifer would be harmed, but as most of the Elders agreed with this, he accepted on the condition of never hurting Lucifer. He trained Lute and Adam himself but Lute ends up making him very uncomfortable because she takes too much pleasure in the massacre. Many times he wondered if he should not send his own Celestial Militia soldiers rather than those bloodthirsty Exorcists who seem more like they belong to Hell than Heaven.

Raphael has distanced himself from the life of Heaven, becoming more of a hermit, but when he returns, he tries to avoid Adam and his Exorcists as much as possible. The presence of the First Man reminds him of what happened to Lucifer and these Exorcist Angels are only a reminder of what Heaven is doing to his brother's people. Although he agrees that Sinners must be punished and that they must protect Winners, he finds the Exterminations far too extreme. And the behavior of Angels such as Lute disgusts him!

Azrael doesn't care about anything related to Adam and the Exterminations. All he knows is that once a year many Sinful souls disappear into Limbo and their screams give him a headache. Lute tried to talk to him once, thinking that as the Angel of Death he would support the Exorcists… but the look he gave her made her blood run cold enough that she never tried again.

Uriel blames himself for not having been able to protect Adam and Eve from Lilith's scheme with the Apple (he refuses to accept that Lucifer had anything to do with it) so he is rather tolerant towards the First Man. The only times Adam comes to see him is to talk about the rare moments in his past when he was happy and Uriel is happy to remind him of these good times. He saw that the Exterminations had to take place so he resigned himself… but Lute and the other Exorcists make him uncomfortable. He is the one who insisted on containing Adam and only doing an Extermination once a year. According to him, if the time between two Exterminations happened to be shorter, great upheavals would take place!

Gabriel has great difficulty tolerating Adam and his Exorcists. He was too young to have seen him in Eden since he was still an Apprentice Archangel at the time so he doesn't really know what the First Man was like before. He respects him for his status as Father of Humanity and is very friendly with Abel but he can't stand his pretentious behavior and the fact that he constantly denigrates Lucifer or brags about his "masculine attributes" (Dickmaster, etc.) Gabriel was the first to question the possibility of redeeming Sinners when Sera and Adam proposed the Exterminations since he is a pacifist and hates War but the Rules are black or white!… even if the Exorcists are not white and they can stay in Heaven. The only Exorcist he liked was Vaggie.

The Archangels may be the five Pillars of Heaven, but they are still constantly monitored by the Elders who maintain that Hell and Heaven are two completely different worlds that cannot mix. This is why they cannot prevent the Exterminations as long as they are effective in keeping Hell under control. Needless to say, everything changes after the Extermination that killed Adam!

Adam slicing a crowd of sinners with his guitar

Lute: fuck yeah!

Adam: calm your tits, babe, I know I'm fucking awesome

Random sinner wrapping a magical rope around Adam's body

Adam: what the-

Rope tightens against his body in a squeeze, making his clothes rip apart and expose his huge ass luckily covered by the fabric of his underwear

Adam: hey! You fucking pervert! Let me go!!

Lute: Sir! Don't worry I'll get you loose!

Adam: hurry up, bitch! I can feel my insides popping!

Lucifer in the middle of the battlefield: fuck. Retrain me everyone I'm about to sin!

Alastor: we rather avoid touching you in that state of mind

Charlie, disturbed: what in all fucks is going on!???

Lucifer: I'm about to fuck him into retirement

Adam: what the fuck is wrong with you!?

Lucifer: I asked the same thing when I saw you slaughtering my people

Adam, face intese golden as the rope was too tight he could feel the lack of air from his body: *gasp* lu-luci—fer!!

Lucifer: hm.. you should keep that for the bedroom

Lute, while struggling to release him: you sick fuck!

Adam being suddenly released by a beam of light

Adam: huh? *he says as he felt himself fall but in a dash of wind was caught by none other than archangel Michael*

Adam, embarrassingly flustered: Mi-michael! Just so you know I was totally handling that shit like a boss, I was no damsel in distress

Michael: were you?

Adam: y-yes! *under his breath* fuck. You’re so fucking hot

Michael: what was that?

Adam: nothing! *desperately wraps his arms around his neck for "safety"*

Michael: *tries putting back Adam to the ground but he was refusing to let go* Adam?

Adam: yes?

Michael: can you let go please?

Adam: I'm sorry, it's just.. I have a injured wing and I'm— scared that these filthy sinners would attack me while vulnerable and weak 🥺🤧✨️🍃🪷🌸🌼

Lucifer, clearly annoyed: I thought you were handling this shit like a "boss"

Adam, suddenly feeling much better and rage screaming: SHUT THE FUCK UP THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU!!

Lucifer: *offended gasp*

↳˳⸙;; ❝ ____❦____ ᵕ̈ ೫˚∗:

As you locked eyes with the sinner that looked god-awfully like your seemingly dead lover, your heart sped up its pace as you heard it thundering in your ears.

Time seemed to slow as the sinner looked at you dead in the eyes as they had the same eyes as Adam did those golden eyes that you fell in love with so long ago.

They didn't hold the fear you were used to seeing out of the sinners that saw you they looked...happy?

"Adam?..."

You called out as your voice cracked your eyes were seemingly were playing tricks on you as you rub them trying to see if you were hallucinating or not seeing the sinner had not moved or disappeared as you looked back up at him you realized they were real.

"Y-Y/n?...."

As soon as you heard the sinner call out your name you knew that it was Adam, as you ran towards him dropping your weapon in the process as it clattered to the ground as you tightly embraced him.

"I-Its really you?... Like really you?"

"it's me Sugartits...it's really me"

"Prove it"

You wanted to believe the sinners words but you couldn't out of the small half of you still not being able to fully trust the demons no matter if you thought it was your lover or not.

"Remember when we first met? It was during my first or second week in heaven and you showed up late to the court attendance, I remember you not being able to keep your eyes off me."

It was really him truly it really was him as you let your tears flow freely from your eyes onto your cheeks soaking and staining them.

"How are you?...."

"I got reincarnated as a demon"

You then noticed that he had two pairs of curly horns that curled upwards but also to the sides of his head he had his ashy brown hair along with two upside down crosses on his arms.

"You're still beautiful to me Adam"

You cupped his face as you looked up at his eyes your six wings curling around the both of you as he now had a tail that curled around your thigh as you lean down to kiss him, pressing your lips gently against his holding him as if he was made of glass.

"Never do that to me ever again...I thought I truely lost you...."

"I know babe, I know and...I'm sorry I won't do it again, but one small issue"

You tilted your head slightly to the side as you hummed in question as he pointed to his new form as he gestured to all of him.

"I'm a demon, you're an archangel. Regardless of who I am, the higher ups won't be happy if they found out about this."

"I don't care I'll make it work, darling I'm an archangel and Michel kinda likes me and you didn't do anything wrong-"

"I don't think it works li-"

"Adam... Please-"

"No. Listen, there's clearly a reason that I'm down here, you have to-"

"Fuck you don't shush me asshole, first off I thought for the last year you were dead and so does Lute she still doesnt-"

You shut him up as you put your pointer finger over his lips as you glared down at him as you saw a Exorcist angel flying as you grabbed Adam and flew off as he squirmed for a moment before relaxing to the almost forgotten feeling as you hovered above the buildings as you looked at him as his tail wrapped around your waist as you flapped your six white wings as you glanced around not seeing anything as you flew towards a forest as you landed and rushed into the forest with him as you hide beside a rock as you placed him down.

"Stay here .... I'll be back I have to do one more thing please"

He nodded as you slowly took off into the sky again as you were still in uniform as you opened a portal back to heaven specifically into your room as you grabbed your golden glowing book as you flew back down as you saw another Angel flying near the forest curiously.

You closed the portal behind you as you landed in front of the angel, startling them as you looked down at them.

"I've already been here."

"Oh sorry Ma'am."

And you watched her leave as you made sure nobody was watching as you made your way back to Adam as you slowly made your way back to him.

With your book in your hand and that exact moment you knew you were never going to leave his side and he needed you and you needed him and that was that that's all you knew.

As you peeked around the big rock you left him behind you saw him waiting patiently as he jumped and startled surprised by your sudden appearance as you giggled.

"I'm staying with you Adam"

[libby-for-life]

A small portion of Chapter 2 of Adam Dies with art from @breedtheseed :

The setting is in Eden

Adam let out a high-pitched yelp as Lucifer chuckled and pressed himself into the crook of his neck. The archangel's grip tightened as he took Adam's wrists in one hand and the human could feel Lucifer's grin against his skin. "Did you seriously think that I wouldn't find you?" Lucifer teased, his voice laced with amusement. Damn it all! He must've teleported behind Adam!

Adam's heart raced with fear and anticipation as Lucifer's fingers danced over his skin, causing him to squirm and laugh uncontrollably. "I guess you'll have to be punished!" Lucifer's voice was playful, but there was a hint of mischief lurking beneath the surface.

Adam begged for mercy, but his pleas fell on deaf ears as Lucifer continued to tickle him mercilessly. He twisted and turned, trying to break free from the archangel's grasp, but it was no use. "Hahaha! No! Please!" Adam begged his stomach aching from all the laughter.

"It's cute you think you have any say in this," Lucifer taunted, his hand wandering over Adam's chest with feather-light touches. Adam's heart skipped a beat as he realized where this was going. "No! Not there! Anywhere but there!" he yelled, but it was too late. If Adam could see Lucifer's face, he was sure that the archangel would be smirking in satisfaction.

"Oh, are you sensitive there?" Lucifer said in mock sympathy. Two fingers pinched his right nipple making Adam whimper in shock. No one had ever touched him there. It was probably why it was so sensitive. Every once in a while he would tickle his stomach, armpits, and even the crook of his neck, but he would always go back to his chest. Adam felt like he was about to burst with how much he was laughing.

Finally, his wrists were let go. Before Adam could regulate his breathing though, fingers found their way to his chest and pulled on sensitive nipples. Without really thinking, Adam let out a low moan. Lucifer paused and Adam blushed, completely embarrassed by the sound of his voice.

"Are you okay?" Lucifer asked. Adam was surprised when he was turned around and the archangel looked over him, a look of worry painted across his face. He had never had anyone look at him like that before. Well, except for Lute...a sudden pang of sadness came into fruition at the thought of her. "I'm okay," Adam said distractedly. "It didn't hurt." It felt the opposite, but the human was not going to admit that to the archangel. He knew Lucifer would use it against him.

[intrinsicepiphany]

Okay tumblr lets talk theories again.

(my brain rot + knowledge of religion has me all up in Hazbin Hotel right now.)

Today I want to talk Biology! Mostly because I made the poor choice of going to Twitter's chaggie tag and looking at the comments...

So can we discuss Why do so many people keep trying to apply HUMAN biology to the Half-Demon Nephillim daughter of an Arch-Angel?!

Okay I'll start at the begining and work my way to the reasons why if Charlie really wants a kid with Vaggie both of them being assigned female at creation probably isn't going to matter.

Let's start with Lucifer!

So as far as has been shown in the show Lucifer is an original Archangel even down to his lovely 6 red wings. This makes him one of the most powerful beings in heaven.

(If we go by bible text he was actually a favorite until his dreams of free will led him astray and depending on the text he merely has to admit he was wrong and ask for forgiveness to return)

Now looking at everything after this fall he has never lost his Angelic Abilities. His default powers are still angelic gold.

We do see he also has a Full Demon form when he is pissed. Interestingly enough his crown also doubles as a halo in this form. Also note for later just how much Charlie resembles him in both forms.

This suggest that at root biology Lucifer is still an archangel with demon traits. This combination is most likely what makes him the strongest being in hell by a long shot. The only reason others even have power is purely because he doesnt care enough to flex his power and has no desire to actually rule.

Now on to Lilith!

What do we know about Lilith?

Well we know she was a created human not born.

She was Adam's equal

And she left and got with Lucifer before the fall.

So here is the deal... I dont think Lilith can be classified as a sinner. She didnt die to end up in hell and in fact she fell before hell was really a thing. she helped create it after all. (Plus you know Charlie exsists)

So what IS Lilith? I think Lilith as one of a few Actual Demons. And if we have to classify her she'd be closer to a Sin. I actually think of Lilith as the Sin of Pride in Hazbin Hotel not Lucifer. We are even told that She created pentagram city and developed hell while lucifer kept to his workshop in depression.

Now let's talk about this scene for a second. Lilith fell from heaven/earth Alive and possibly even immortal since human kind was immortal before Eve took the apple.

Lilith gains power from her fall into hell. She develops demon like attributes and seems to have musical based magic. She also seems to retain or get immortality. So what does this fall mean? It means that Lilith was NOT HUMAN by the time Charlie was born.

So what does this mean for Charlie?

Well for one Charlie is NOT just some Hellborn. She is by Definition a Nephilim but she is not half-human. She would most likely be considered a Half-Demon, Half-Angel Nephilim.

This would explain her expansive (if never used) power base. The official power ranking has her tied with Lilith with only Lucifer being more powerful. Which makes complete sense. She is the Heir to the entire thing after all. (I actually think this is why Alastor couldnt make a deal for her soul and settled for a favor instead)

She also inheirited Angelic powers from her father. As seen by the fact that her default magic is gold. Which means she has angel blood in her veins. Lets be honest i wouldnt be surprised if she ended up bleeding gold in the future.

In fact she seems to have inherited most of her abilities from dear old dad.

Im pretty sure that just by shear ability and magic if Charlie wanted a kid she could probably create/magic one into exsistance no matter who her partner was.

But lets review Vaggie just for fun! Because I have thoughts

What do we actually know about Vaggie?

Well we know she is an angel. I say is because I dont think Lute or Adam actually have the power to cast an angel out of heaven AND she gets her wings back. This would mean she is not actually a sinner she would be closer to a fallen angel like lucifer.

We know she speaks Spanish and seems to be of Hispanic nature. BUT! Do we know if she was ever really human?!

We know Adam claims to have named her Vaggie. This could suggest three things

1) exorcist take on a new name when they join. But if this was true why wouldnt she leave this name behind and return to her human name once in hell? It would have kept her secret better and you'd figure she would want to leave behind the negative feelings that would come with her exorcist name.

2) Adam in his self-centered ways misheard her real name (maybe something like Aggie from Agatha or Maggie) and thought she said Vaggie or actively chose to misinterpret her name and she never cared to correct him. BUT Once more why would she not just return to her real name once with Charlie in hell?

Or 3) And this one is the real kicker. Vaggie is a Heaven-born Angel.

If the answer is 3 than it would imply that she was never human which brings her closer to lucifers biology.

Some other interesting things to consider about this last theory. Lute and Vaggie resemble each other a great deal. In fact, all the exorcist seem to have a similar body type. (I mean you could argue its the uniform but even without the uniform the resembalance between lute and vaggie is uncanny) and if I remember correctly at one point the exterminators are refered to as sister? I mean this could mean sisters-in-arms BUT What if ALL exorcist were heaven-born?

If they were never human this could explain both their ability and their desire to slay sinners. Much like Sera they wouldn't have any sympathy for the dammed because they wouldn't have any possible family that could end up down there. They would also have Very little connection to or concern for former humans. After all like Adam said they had their chance and they screwed up.

So in the end what does this all mean?

Well I actually already kind of said it

1) Fandom really needs to stop applying human biology to Charlie. She is a half demon half archangel Nephilim with incredible magic.

If charlie wants a kid she can probably magic one up no matter the obsticles please stop asking artist and writers how it is possible for her and vaggie to have a kid/get pregnant if they are both women - the answer is Charlie Magic.

2) all 4 of the above have the potential to be way stronger than they have been shown in the show.

And

3) Charlie is a potential BadAss and is just too nice to go full tactical nuke - this will be covered in my next ted talk.

What is your favorite Hazbin Hotel headcanon?

Thanks for asking, I’d love to share! For me, it’s involving the exorcists. I always thought about what the exorcists main jobs are and why nobody in heaven thinks ,”ugh, why are these guys here? What’s their jobs they just hang around here and then disappear one time during the year for some reason.” Like no angels questions their presence at all, which I thought was strange. It probably sounds silly, but I thought at first their only sole purpose is to just kill the sinners once a year and that’s it. But then I thought,”but what do they do the rest of the 364 days? Just lay around heaven all day?”

Then I thought, wait. Maybe they could have other roles in heaven where they can still kill and unleash vengeance. I think them at they do the lower jobs that archangels don’t bother too, like killing lowly inps and demons that try to go to earth, like asmodeus succubus if they can catch them. That’s why the cherubs in helluva boss mentioned claimed to be exorcists who can kill demons. I think it gives a little insight into the exorcists other roles. Of course, it probably won’t be confirmed unless a crossover for helluva boss and hazbin is allowed.

Another thing to support my theory is that the exorcists, as far a we know, were all previously human. Adam as their leader. They’re all human with no angelic ones in their crew because they would know earth and its terrain extremely well in order to do their job.

As a fun side note, I imagine Adam and his exorcist gang hunting down cryptic (actually demons and such coming from hell). Think the Loch Ness, Bigfoot, werewolves, etc. it’s be a fun spinoff series with Adam being clueless and lute playing detective to figure things out and bf ind clues.

Any headcanons you have? :)

Ruthlessness is Mercy Upon Ourselves

Synopsis: Vaggie and Adam talk about mercy and each other. It doesn’t go in any direction they thought it would.

Notes:

TW: Graphic Depictions of Violence – I’m ripping someone apart. TW: Death

Oh man this one’s fucked up.

Vaggie opens the floodgates.

There is now a reason the archangels are like this and it’s fun and fucked up.

Mindflayers are my favorite DnD enemy btw.

Bit more unreliable narrator Adam here too.

Sorry this one took so long, had relationship issues, six dnd campaigns and six assignments at uni to work through so I’ve been a little busy.

Word Count: 1674

Adam found her on the roof of the hotel, as he expected.

Vaggie’s wings were out, lax against her back as she looked out at… the outskirts.

Adams domain. The growing garden as Lucifer was so fond of calling it. There was a tension in her shoulders and Adam quietly dismissed Echo behind him. There's not going to be a fight today, he could handle this.

He made sure his steps echoed on the ground as he walked up beside her, brushing her wing with his own on instinct before folding them under his arms like normal.

It was silent for a little while, Vaggie refused to look at him while Adam got his thoughts in order.

The leader of the exorcists sighed; this was going to suck.

“I’m not going to apologize for what I did that day.”

Vaggie pushed herself away from the railing immediately, Adam’s arm reaching out at the last second to grab her and keep her from fleeing, “Let me finish.”

“You-”

“I will never apologize for making that call, but I am sorry for the pain that decision caused you,” Adam continued, “I didn’t want to do it, but I would do it again if I had to.”

“You’re not sorry,” Vaggie snapped back, her wings mantling behind her threateningly, “Don’t try and act like it with that kind of apology.”

“Listen to me,” Adam pressed, keeping his voice as even as he could, “Just- give me a chance to explain.”

“Explain what,” Vaggie retorted, straining against Adam's grip, “What the fuck is there to explain.”

“You weren’t the first exorcist that showed mercy,” Adam spat out, his gut twisting in panic as he spoke quickly, “You were just the first one that heaven didn’t get its hands on.”

That made Vaggie pause, looking him in the eyes and faltering when he held the gaze steadily, “What?”

Adam sighed; he was right this was going to fucking hurt. The fallen angel sat down and patted the space next to him, he couldn’t do this standing up.

“Sit down kid, this has been a long time coming.”

He was right, this was going to suck.

Adam stretched as he took a moment to break during the extermination, swinging his axe over his shoulder as he looked around.

Annie was chasing a sinner down the street, flanked by Rumi and Dawn as the exorcist's cackles echoed through the city.

Charlie, Delta, and Echo soared overhead, having finished up their area and likely headed to help Lute, Fei, and Netto in their area.

Vaggie darted out of an alleyway and used her spear to break through a door to get to the sinner’s inside.

Wasp-

Adam looked down and saw Wasp standing over a sinner, her wings shaking as her rapier clattered to the ground.

She said something and the Sinner ran away deeper into the alley disappearing around a bend.

Adam sheathed his axe and jumped down, picking up Wasps rapier as he pulled his girl into a hug, shielding her as she broke apart.

Vaggie glared at him, “So you’re saying that if anyone else shows mercy to a sinner, fine, but when it’s me-”

“Would you kindly shut up and let me continue?”

“…”

Adam sighed again.

Adam stayed with Wasp for the rest of the extermination, keeping out of the fight and making sure his kid was okay.

“You don’t have to participate in the exterminations again if you don’t want to, all right? I bet I can get the higher-ups to make an exception.”

“I- I’d like that,”

Adam smiled reassuringly down at the exorcist as they touched down at the entrance to heaven. The angel paused once he and Wasp headed past the golden gates, blinking a couple of times in mild surprise.

Gabriel was waiting at the gate, grimacing when he saw them. Adam instinctively stood a little straighter, pulling Wasp closer to him with a wing.

What did he want?

“Adam, Michael wants to see you two.”

“Why didn’t anyone see this,” Vaggie questioned, giving Adam a hard glare, “If the archangel Gabriel was there-”

“Because Archangel Gabriel has that effect on people, you only see him when he wants you to. Unlike his siblings, the messenger angel is a lot more subtle.”

Adam stepped into the golden hallways of the Ancient Archangel’s home; the glittering palace located in a secluded area high up in the city. Adam had already been to the palace many times for meetings or when Michael wanted an in-person report for the exterminations.

He didn’t know why they wanted to see Wasp as well though, but it did make things easier for him.

“Michael will see you now,” One of the servants said with a doll-like smile, moving to guide the two angels through the halls, Adam was dimly aware of Gabriel flaking off into his part of the palace.

“Do you know what’s going on, sir?”

“Well, I guess we’ll find out,” Adam stood a little straighter and pulled Wasp behind him as the doors to Michael’s office opened and they stepped inside.

The windows were dimmed, and the room was lit solely by the halos in the room and the chandelier on the ceiling. Michael was pacing the back of his office before turning to face them.

The hair on Adam's neck rose at the dangerous look on the archangel’s face. That wasn’t good.

“Do you have any clue how much trouble you two have caused?”

“So that’s it? You talked to archangel Michael and Wasp went into hiding?”

Adam swallowed thickly and shook his head, raising his wings from where they rested to cover himself slightly from anxiety.

“No- he… he didn’t listen to reason.”

“I promise you that Wasp is very capable to keeping to herself and-”

“Enough!” Divine magic lanced through the room and slammed Adam against the wall, Wasp drawing her rapier before being disarmed by the warrior archangel and restrained with magic.

“I cannot risk this compromise to heavens security,” Michael spat, his halo glowing brightly and casting sharp shadows on his face, “Not on something as fickle as a promise.”

The archangel turned to Wasp; wings mantled as power gathered around him.

“No matter, just as easily as I created you and your choir, I can just as easily unmake you.”

Wasp screams were beaten only by Adam as Michaels magic proceeded to tear her soul apart.

Adam strained against the magic chains holding him in place, all pretences of composure gone as he fought against Michael’s magic keeping him in place.

His heart raced as he saw and heard Wasps ligaments tear, bones snapping as Michael ripped into Wasp to get as her soul. Ichor painting rivers in the marble as Wasp screamed in agony. A shower of golden blood marking her arm giving way to the pressure and tearing from her body.

“DAD-!”

Adam’s eyes widened at the title his exorcist- his daughter screamed out; she was calling to him.

Adams magic cracked against Michaels as he strained against the chains constricting him, he needed to get to her he needed to save-!

“WASP!”

Michael pulled on his magic, the power ripping through her chest before extracting her soul and crushing it.

Adam could only stare at the space his daughter used to be, bile rising to the back of his throat as sickness overtook him.

“What a shame such a defect manifested itself and infected you,” Michael’s voice cut through the air as he spoke to the dead, chilling in its apathy as he inspected the golden blood on his hands, “I’ll have to scrap the Exorcist choir as a whole and start from scratch to prevent a repeat of this incident.”

Adams blood froze as he jerked his head up to stare at Michael in horror, he couldn’t be serious.

The head archangel sighed and walked towards the door, hand reaching up to pull on the doorknob. He was serious.

“Wait!”

Michael paused, his hand pulling away as he glanced over at Adam, “Hm?”

“I- She’s the only defect, I swear on my soul Wasp was the only one.”

Michael turned to look completely at Adam, “And if this… mess, becomes a repeat occurrence?”

Adam swallowed thickly as he met the archangel’s gaze.

“Then I swear on my very existence that no exorcist who shows mercy will ever see the light of heaven again.”

Michael pulled back, something almost fond flashing across his face as he nodded, “Then we have an agreement.”

“And that was that” Adam finished shakily, keeping his gaze anywhere but on Vaggie as he tried his best to hide himself with his wings, “That- that’s it. That’s the story.”

“I-”

Adams breathing picked up and he scrambled to his feet, this was such a stupid idea, “I’ll get out of your hair now, go and bother the jumping spider or some shit-”

Vaggie grabbed him by the arm and dragged him into a hug.

The leader of the exorcists froze, going stiff in the other angels hold before shuddering and sinking into the hug, his wings instinctively wrapping around his girl as he held her close and fell apart in her arms.

“Lucifer, honey, can I borrow you for a moment?”

The king of hell startled and whipped around to greet his wife with a smile, “Yes! Of course! Whatever you need dear!”

“Ah, in private, if you would,” the queen of hell requested with a smirk as she glanced over Lucifer’s head, “I don’t think I’m comfortable having Charlies… friends, listening in.”

The fallen angel nodded and snapped his fingers, whisking the two of them away to their room. Lucifer nudged a stray duck out of the way as he lead his dearest to a table, “So! What do you want to talk about?”

Lilith sighed before speaking, “I overheard a conversation between Adam and his daughter, Charlies girlfriend daughter.”

“Oh”

“Lucifer, it’s about your brother, Michael.”

Sal's snippets #37 part #2

Consequences are a funny thing. They happen when a being least expects it. In this case? Heaven's actions were coming back to bite them on the arse and it had bitten right down to the bone. It had ripped, torn and sprayed blood everywhere. Earth was dying, Hell was dying and Heaven was dying.

Nature was dying. Justice no longer existed. Humanity was in disorder as many were screaming about the end of days, Doomsday, Ragnarok, Armageddon. Nature dying wasn't just the only issue, the Earth's core was cooling and soon it would be frozen. All fingers pointed back to Heaven and their exterminations. Because they had invaded Hell every year and killed Sinners or what they had wrongly assumed were Sinners, everything was now in jeopardy. Sera was baring the brunt of the blame, she had been the one to push for them and she had refused to listen to any other option, Lucifer as much as he wanted to say 'I told you so' knew that now was not the time. There was far too much at stake. All angels of a certain rank had domains, even those that were fallen still had their domains, it was the height of stupidity to kill and angel who had a domain, Lucifer still had his domain. It was something that couldn't be taken away from him and if he died? Then so did the stars, the moon, the sun. The entire galaxy would die.

He had created the stars, he had played a big role in Eden and anything that he had created? Would die. It was why Heaven had never attacked him, they knew what would happen should anything happen to him. So it had thrown everyone for a loop to find that Alastor and his daughter? Were far more than just Sinners. It was a blow to them all, if Lucifer had known he would have made sure that they were safe, however, it also begged the question. Where did Adam get a weapon that was strong enough to kill a Seraphim or Archangel rank, it wasn't something that was handled out. Which meant that someone had to have given him it on purpose, with the intention of either killing him or killing them. Lucifer knew of only one angel who had access to it and held a grudge. Sera. Lucifer had voiced his suspicions at a meeting, he had expected his concerns and suspicions to be dismissed. What he hadn't expected was for Emily, the Angel of Joy to back him up. She spoke about how Sera hated the fact that Emily had at one point courted Sarah and Sera had made her displeasure known. She had even gone as far as to sabotage the relationship on multiple occasions. Sera, Adam, Lute and the rest of the Exorcist army were now under investigation and they were all under house arrest. None of them could level their rooms. Lucifer had very mixed feelings about everything, on one hand, Sera, Adam and Lute were being punished for everything that they had done and taken part in. On the other hand, it had taken such an extreme thing to happen. he didn't like meeting with his former family and flock, he had no desire to reconnect with any of them. Regardless of what they thought.

Only Human

Lucifer Morningstar x Archangel! Reader

Summary: Lucifer and an Archangel meet every century to discuss certain issues, through song... "Only Human" in the Deathnote Musical to be specific

@mygoldtears - this was their idea and I do not want to take credit for it (If you see this I hope you enjoy!)

Trigger Warnings: ANGST, grief, violence, angels (as their own warning)

Words Count: 1020

Under the comforting canopy of the Tree of Knowledge, you patiently awaited Lucifer, reveling in the dappling shadows cast by its ancient branches. Still, you waited for Lucifer in your usual spot. This is where every century you would meet to discuss angelic and demonic issues that were important to bring up to the higher angelic counsel.

Over centuries, you had become the sole attendee of Lucifer's pleas. You quite missed him and his crazy ideas, even if that's what made him fall.

His footsteps echoed a melancholic rhythm as Lucifer approached, a shadow of sorrow etched across his features. Every time the meeting was held the day after an extermination. Somehow, with each meeting, Lucifer lost more of his hope and enthusiasm. A pang of sorrow tugged at your celestial essence, but duty held you steadfast.

How else would Lucifer's ideas get to the all mighty of Heaven?

Perched on the edge of Heaven, his solemn gaze surveyed Earth, where the vibrant tapestry of life unfolded amidst bustling cities, factories casting shadows upon once pristine landscapes. If you focused hard enough you could see all the little people, running around with their unearned, free will.

"Look at how they crawl around upon the ground like little ants" Your mischievous grin earned a dismissive eye-roll from Lucifer.

"Yes, but how they fascinate confusing fate with what is merely chance" he mused, guiding you down to the land of the living, his gaze distant as if searching for answers in the bustling city below.

"Isn’t it a laugh?" As you pointed to all the people going into churches as if it made a difference where they ended up. Praying to a God that couldn't give a shit about them.

"Isn’t it a shame?" Lucifer however, was staring at the funeral for a little girl across the street.

"Thinking there is someone in Heaven to blame" With another heavy sigh, you spread your wings and ascended, leaving without a soul below realizing your departure.

He swiftly joined you in the celestial expanse, his voice carrying in the cosmic winds, "Yes, but even while blaming fate for the lives that they lead. They hope for the lives that they need"

"Living every day ‘til the day they die. Never getting answers" You tried his beliefs as much as you could bear, knowing these were the questions Heaven's "finest" would ask.

"Yet still asking why. Going through the motions as if there will be a reward"

~~~

As you recalled the song you and Lucifer sang, its resonance echoed through the celestial courtroom. However, it fell on deaf ears. Sera, stern and resolute, banged the gavel, her authority echoed by the amused laughter of Adam and the sly grin of Lute.

"And we stay eternally bored" Adam cackled and Lute joined in without a second thought.

~~~

Together, you and Lucifer recounted the determination made by the angelic counsel, your bond evident in shared history and purpose. Lucifer could only harmonize with your sweet sorrow.

"They’re only human. They don’t see. Who they are is who they’ll always be. Only human, after all"

"So they push and they shove", You shout.

Lucifer's hand sought yours, intertwining fingers as he whispered, "With this thing they call love"

"‘Til they fall!"

~~~

"Isn’t it a farce?" You looked down at the same itty bitty people doing the same itty bitty things.

"Isn’t it a waste?" Lucifer sits next to you hoping that maybe this time will be different.

"Struggling to face what can never be faced" A silent hand fell on his shoulder.

"Yes, but maybe death can release something more than we share", he gave you a small smile which you returned even though your eye betrayed you. You continued to watch the humans on Earth, not knowing the celestial struggle going on above them.

~~~

"I really don’t know and don’t care" Laughter echoed mercilessly through the courtroom, an unsettling chorus of celestial mockery.

~~~

As another unsuccessful pitch echoed in the background, you turned to Lucifer to share the details. 'They’re only human,' you sighed

"Standing still. Doomed to live pushing boulders uphill. Only human, after all. So they give and they take" You recounted Sera saying.

"Hoping someone will help break their fall" Lucifer sings portaling himself down to rethink his pitch next century.

~~~

"They will pray, curse, live, die. Never knowing their truth is another man’s lie" Anger seethed within you, a tempest fueled by humans wielding Lucifer's gift for malevolence. Angry at your fellow angels for choosing hate and violence over peace. Angry at yourself for not following Lucifer many millennia ago. Your wings quivered with the weight of disappointment.

"Eat, sleep, love, hate. Like a leaf blowing in the wind" He tucked a stray wisp of hair behind your ear, and grasped your hand with the other.

~~~

"Watch them all vacillate!"

Tears fell from your eyes as you tried to reason with them.

"They’re only human. They can’t see", You tried to get them to see from a different perspective, but Adam and Lute held the power.

"All the years they could give you and me" They chuckled together.

~~~

"Only human, after all" You sadly revisited the same melancholic tale with Lucifer. Tears still falling from the meeting.

"So they give and we take" You cry.

"‘Til our silly hearts break" He squeezes your shoulders in sympathy, and looks deeply into your eyes. "Looking down from above. I’m intrigued by their love"

"So I'll fall," you smiled, the weight of understanding settling upon you like stardust. Finally comprehending the sacrifice he made, the chance to make choices and experience love, you embraced the poignant truth of his rebellion.

~~~

Exhausted from the relentless debate with the counsel for the second time that day, you felt the inevitable pull of descent. Air rushed around you as you crashed through Earth's atmosphere, and through Earth's crust. Your feathers charred around you, and in the midst of the fiery descent, a silent hope lingered - the hope that they'd grow back.

You continued falling through a crimson sky, but Lucifer was waiting to catch you. To break your fall.

"Welcome to Heaven" review

Time for a change of scenery and to learn more about Heaven. Spoilers.

Nice to see Vaggie told the truth instead of attempting to lie. I am curious, would that have even worked on Charlie? Does Charlie have a power to tell if people are lying to her, since her father is the “father of lies”?

That was sweet of Vaggie, but there is a lining of “Vaggie sacrifices more for the relationship” idea in my Charlie/Vaggie trailer breakdown here. LUCKILY there hasn’t been much of that as I expected in this season. At least we’ll find out how Vaggie lost her Exorcist title.

CHAGGIE KISS! Wait why’d she kiss her on the eyepatch? Also I’m NOW just wondering if Vaggie DOES still have her left eye, but is covering it up Japanese anime style cause it contains a great Exorcist power?

Here’s Cherri Bomb making an “explosi.. eh I’m not going to finish that lame joke. I do like the new Australian accent they gave her.

I’m not liking where this is going. I feel like this is going to result in a situation like in the pilot where Angel and co. embarrass Charlie’s goal in front of everyone in Heaven. I mean (spoilers based on the HH S1 trailer) something is going to make the next Extermination happen, but I hope it’s something else.

You really should have told the others to behave themselves before leaving Charlie.

A new portrait of Charlie and her parents in the background. It’s hard to make out, so hopefully someone posts a proper version of it soon.

Charlie casually throwing Vaggie through portal XD.

(Pen sees Cherri) knew this was coming here we go. Bet Pen X Cherri shippers are going to enjoy that moment.

Anyone else think the eye symbol at Heaven’s gate is also a reference to the Sheikah Eye from Legend of Zelda?

Saint Peter? With her last name being Morningstar, you think he would realize she is Lucifer’s daughter.

Charlie Morningbreakfast

Cursing is allowed in Heaven. Interesting to know, you think there will be a gag for when someone curses, everyone else covers their ears “Harry Potter Musicals” style?

So angels can take on different forms. Also was it just me or did the old angel’s bird form look like Stella a bit? I did have this theory that touched on the idea of how after fallen angels went to Hell, they would evolve to become different from what those in Heaven look like and create subspecies, and it looks that is true.

The angel finally has a name, Sera. Oh she may sound nice now but wait till we see her evil side! Right there she says, “you are gifted to be here”, life if she wasn’t Lucifer’s daughter she would have been really rude to Charlie.

Even though she says she is the highest of the Seraphim (the highest rank in Heaven’s hierarchy if pic of said topic are any indication) I feel like there is going to be a moral Heaven thing where every angel is treated equal. I thought I bring this up now cause when Sera reveals herself as a villain, I hope later on she becomes an antagonist (replacing Adam) who fights against Charlie’s redemption plan but will have trouble when other Seraphim’s and Archangels side with Charlie.

Sounds like Emily is the Charlie of Heaven XD.

Got some interesting designs like a Hellhound looking creature with hooves and that…thing she is next to. There is also someone that looks a lot like Vaggie but with no mouth, who “COINCIDENLY” has a close eye where Vaggie has an eyepatch.

I think that was a FNAF/Chuck E Cheese mascot band refence there.

MOLLY HOLY CRAP! Looks like we found the motivation to get Angel to redeem himself! I was going to wonder why she was spider looking creature when you think Heaven only has people in human/cute animal like forms, till I saw that crab looking angelic being in the same scene. Also on the bottom right, I think that’s a Sara Bellum from PPG reference.

Again. Sera being rude, though Emily sounds very ally like.

Vaggie being jealous XD

LUTE? Wait does this mean Adam is wearing a mask/helmet/whatever too? I bet he’s fugly under it XD.

Damn the Amazon Prime pause button. It keeps making the video skip ahead instead of doing its job!

OKAY HUGE REVEAL THERE! HOW COME NO ONE ELSE KNOW ABOUT THE EXTERMINATONS? Do the archangels at least know? Either way this could actually be good but I’ll get into that later.

Okay so Sera seems to be one of those “doing bad to do good” kind of characters as she just wants to protect Heaven, explains why she looked so sad in Charlie’s story, but I feel like she will have prejudices too. It also sounds like Adam was the sole person who came up with the Exterminations.

FINALLY confirmation of Vaggie being a former Exorcist! :D… Wait… Oh crap! :(

ADAM GAVE VAGGIE HER NAME! CALLED IT!! https://www.tumblr.com/commenter2/718141081445957632/odd-theory-but-do-you-think-vaggie-got-her-name?source=share

That was a hellborn child! I had suspicions that Exorcist also killed Hellborn demons during the Exterminations (Viv did once say they kill anything that wasn’t indoors) but still its more shocking than knowing it was a correct fact.

I do like that the Extermination scene is a flashback and not taking place in the finale like I predicted.

Also as messed up as what happened to Vaggie, losing her eye and wings (more on that later) at least it led to her instantly meeting Charlie. Hey they are wearing their pilot outfits :D

At least we can look forward to a Vaggie vs. Lute fight in the future.

Since it was shown that Lute was able to wound Vaggie when she was still an angel, my idea from my “Overture” review of the dead Exorcist being killed by one of its own is a little stronger now. I still think someone else like the threat impersonating Lilith did it, but I'm still keeping that as a possibility until we learn more.

If the first human soul to arrive in Heaven doesn’t know what qualifies to get into Heaven, then Charlie redemption plan deserves a chance. It also makes me curious on what the other angels think qualifies. Also again how would Angel be any different than having Adam there.

WAIT WHAT ABOUT ABEL? He was murdered by his brother long before Adam died, what happened to him after he died?

See I told you we’d get another pilot situation, though at least it’s better than last time as Angel did resist for a time. Heck Husk and Sir Pentious should also be considered proof of being able to redeem since Pen was being nice to a degree and Husk was actually trying to help Angel.

Seriously, Adam has been cursing up a storm, yet you react to when Charlie does it? Maybe like us they were just surprised that she can curse, given how good she is.

Looks like I was wrong about the situation leading to pilot vibes. GOOD! Also great to see Angel stand up to Val.

Now that we know that Val’s shirt are his wings, it makes the scene of Niffty ripping a piece off hilarious XD.

This seems enough proof to me that someone can be redeemed, don’t try and change the subject Adam.

So no angelic being in that room properly knows how judging a soul works? While odd, I wonder if this is a result of after what happened to Lucifer, maybe soon after others got sent to Hell for minor things and eventually no one dared to question or go against God’s (or whoever else’s) judgment and now they are at this point where they don’t recall things or fear becoming a fallen angel like Lucifer. I’m (semi) counting this as another one of my ideas coming true, as I did bring the idea of Heaven not knowing how to loosen the restrictions to getting into Heaven.

Though a bit understandable from Charlie’s POV and thankfully she got lucky there, her ranting to Heaven is another time where Charlie should have taken up at least SOME of Vaggie’s words.

So glad to see Adam’s ego and stupidity finally leading to some good for the heroes, as it will be interesting to see how parts of Heaven will react to learning about the Exterminations.

Trailer screen shot. At least I’m glad that Sera isn’t what I thought she was going to be like.

Oh don’t phrase it like that Charlie! You’re making my “Lilith wants to destroy Heaven” theory sound like it could happen :(

Again when looking at that statue of Sera, she looks like Stella. Also if I’m right the other creature is Emily, who I guess can take on the form of a unicorn.

Aww crap Adam revealed Vaggie’s secret. I know I brought up the idea of Charlie and Vaggie’s relationship being tested, but I just meant personality wise not this, mostly cause I though Charlie already knew. Then again Charlie can be an idiot at times. Hopefully Charlie can be mature about this and thinking back to the trailer, the two do loving sing to each other, heck looks like Vaggie gets her wings back. So yeah, I’m guessing that they will be fine and their relationship will be stronger than ever.

Seriously Sera, after what you see your going to still allow Adam to do the Extermination. Then again she might not have a choice here. This is quickly confirmed with Sera expressing the “Angels scared of suffering the same fate as Lucifer” idea I brought up. Also obviously we need something to continue the series.

So Sera and Emily ARE mother and daughter, I was starting to wonder. Actually speaking of family and thinking back to “Queen Bee”, Bee brought up the question of how fallen angels and such are related, I wonder how related Lucifer and Sera are. Could Charlie and Emily be cousins? If they are, then Vaggie won’t have to worry about Charlie leaving her XD.

At least Charlie has her first angelic ally. I wonder if what Sera said and Emily clenching her fist IS foreshadowing her fate? If my idea of her being able to transform into a horse comes true, what if her demon horse form takes on the form of the horse at the end of the Spindlehorse credits.

Aw man we’re not going to see how Charlie feel about this or more importantly,

Whew that was intense near the end. We got to see Heaven and learned some big things about it like the residents such as Molly being there or how angels have NO IDEA how judging a soul works. Then there was a big reveal that no one before the events here even knew about the Exterminations, that was a great twist if not a bit odd.

It was also great to learn more about Vaggie’s now confirmed past and be introduced to Emily and how she agrees with Charlie’s thoughts instead, making the argument less one sided. It was also funny seeing how she and Charlie got along so well which led to Vaggie being jealous at one point. Hopefully for her, Emily and Charlie turn out to be cousins.

It was nice having Cherri be in the episode, even if she almost led to Angel doing bad things and getting Charlie in trouble again. Speaking of which, it was GREAT to see that Angel HAS changed since joining Charlie. Hopefully if he learns that Molly is there, a great cameo BTW, he will amp that up to 11.

I also personally liked how stupid Adam looked in it, and now that people know the truth about Exterminations, I think it could lead to him being demoted (both related to Heaven's hierarchy and as a main antagonist in the series) and my idea of Charlie being the “chosen one” to save everyone from a great threat or the idea I have for what season 2 could be about.

The only downsides were that this was kind of the expected outcome given the episode’s place. Maybe if this was the 2nd to last episode and the finale was an hour long, it could have helped but I’m not complaining.

It was also a bummer that we didn’t see more of how Charlie feels about discovering Vaggie was an angel. At least the S1 trailer makes it clear that thing between them will be fine in the end.

The things about no one knowing about the Exterminations, or what the qualifications to get into Heaven really are, but I’m not complaining. This is actually a perfect excuse for my season finale epilogue idea where after the Extermination, Heaven agrees with Charlie and they need to rework or explore the qualifications required to get into Heaven, and Charlie plans on having a big say in it so that more people can get into Heaven whether it be after they die or through her hotel. Of course some people of Hell and Heaven will be against Charlie’s ideas, so Charlie will have to go through a multi-season storyline where she needs to keep convincing more and more powerful people that this would be a good thing, eventually having to convince God himself. All the while evil forces will try and progress its/their agenda, leading to big fights.

Now we wait for the season finale.

As always let me know your thoughts about the episode.

[bloogers-boogers]

Lucifer: *kneeling down infront of Adam as he takes a small box out from his pocket*

Charlie gasped in realization of what is happening, covering her mouth with both hands, while the others snapped their heads to know what was going on.

Adam blinks dumbly while staring at Lucifer.

Lucifer, suddenly nervous by all the attention: ehem *clear throat as he pulls on his bowtie* Adam, it's been a pleasure being tied to you by all means of a very intimate relationship-

Adam: what class of shit is this? Nerd poetry in the hotel? It was already lame with all those songs

Lucifer: Adam, please. I'm trying to be romantic here. EHEM *clears throat once more but with much more intensity* I've fallen so deeply in love with you, that I've grown blind to your stupidity

Adam, immediately blushing: *stammering * f-fuck you!

Lucifer *opens the box revealing a beautiful golden snake ring with a green gem in its eyes*

Adam, exhales air with widened eyes.

Lucifer: what I'm trying to ask you is... would you give me the honor to be your husband, to love and cherish you for the rest of our eternal lives. Would you marry me, Adam? *a bunch of roses summoned from the ground with flames around Adam and the lights darkened only letting Adam steal the spotlight*

Charlie was wiping tears of joy as she watched the two from her seat next to the bar. She was a emotional wreck like Lucifer.

Adam blinks while processing everything.

Adam, says simply: no.

It took awhile for Lucifer to process Adams words before having to process his rejection, his heart sunk: No?

Adam, shrugs: No. I'm married, I cannot marry again unless I get a divorce those are the rules

Lucifer stands up immediately, absolutely confused and offended: YOU'RE MARRIED!? But! But- but Eve- she's gone, she left you! You said-

Adam, stops him with one hand in the air, correcting him: not Eve. To somebody else. Well something else

Lucifer lifts a brow even more in confusion: whaT? What do you mean by that?

Adam: yeah, it's kinda like a crazy story. So me and Lute once crashed into the archangels base and let me tell you it was scary as hell. We thought we were gonna get caught, so like, we were like really sneaky about it and somehow me and Lute split up and we got lost, that place is HUGE. But yeah, I entered this weird looking door that had a really intense shimmer around it and I went in and one thing lead to another and I got married to Michael's celestial goat

Lucifer: WHAT

Adam: I know, I know. Crazy stuff. Anyways, yeah, Michael caught us, obviously because his goat was involved here, took us to Sera. Scold the shit out of the three of us and he did try contacting God to brake our holy union but nope, nothing. So I'm stuck married to that goat until one of us dies DIES, like actually die.

Lucifer, still processing.

Lucifer: no fucking way a goat is preventing ME from marrying you!?

Adam: yes way. I told you I'm a man of my faith I cannot marry you until I'm single again

Lucifer: but you would marry me if you were??

Adam: uh duh? We've been together for over two years now, I think it's kinda official at this point

Lucifer poofs away as he summons books about how to brake heaven barriers

[firecrackerhh]

So you know how Vaggie seems surprised at the fact that angels can be killed even tho she was injured herself by said weaponry?

I’ve seen some people call it a plot hole, but…here’s a thought.

Being injured by something is not the same as being KILLED by it.

It stands to reason that Vaggie would have no idea that holy weaponry can kill an angel because, well, as Lute said “They never managed to kill one of us before.”

Lute never said anything about injury.

Perhaps the concept of death to an angel is something that literally never occurs to them because well…they’re already dead right? What reason would an angel have to fear anything like that in heaven? I imagine that Adam specifically drilled into an exorcists head that they are literally unkillable, because that’s what he believed, not even he knew such weaponry could hurt him until the battle of episode 8.

Which begs the question on who exactly made such powerful weaponry to begin with. Was it Adam? Unlikely. The archangel Michael? If he’s in the show proper, sure. Sera? That would be interesting. The council of heaven? Specifically the angels we see in the beginning of more than anything? Oh, now that’s very interesting.

Would such weaponry be able to kill an archangel, I wonder?

That would actually be insane. Talk about a shake up of the status quo.

[libby-for-life]

Title: Adam Dies

Summary: Adam dies. Or does he? When he's reincarnated back to when he was first created, Adam realizes that he has a chance to live a better way. One where he doesn't die nor does he have to make the same mistakes. Can Adam make a better future, one where he isn't so alone?

Chapter 1: Rebirth (preview)

Adam didn't really think he would die today. He actually came down to do the killing. Who would have thought that he would be stabbed in the literal back by some maniacal demon? He could hear her insane laughter as she stabbed him over and over again, burning firey pain running through his veins with each stab.

He felt her hop off him just as he heard the sound of Lute's voice yelling for him. "NO!" Adam whimpered in pain when he felt himself being rolled over. Lute's devastated face came into view. The first thing he noticed was that her arm had been ripped off, golden blood gushing from her wound. And yet, she was worried about him. He had never had someone look at him like that before.

He couldn't help but smile gently at her. Lute was loyal to the end and if it were possible, he would never forget that. He felt himself close his eyes as he heard Lute yell one last time. "ADAM!"

Darkness.

The darkness around him seemed never-ending as if he was stuck in an abyss with no way out. It was cold and lonely, and he couldn't see anything. Was this his hell? The thought crossed his mind more than once. He tried to shake it off, but the feeling of despair lingered. It was like a heavy weight on his chest that refused to lift. He wondered if this was his punishment for his sins. He was once Adam, the first man created by God. But now, he was nothing but a lost soul, floating aimlessly in the void of darkness. At first, he was filled with anger and indignation. After all, how could he, Adam, be confined to such a fate? He should be lounging in heaven, basking in the glory of God.

XxX

As he floated aimlessly, Adam's anger gradually faded into a deep sense of denial. He couldn't even begin to fathom how long he had been stranded in limbo. It seemed like an eternity had passed since he was cast out of Heaven. For he has to be or they would have come for him. But he held on to the hope that he would be brought back soon and all of this would be forgotten. After all, he was the first man and a pivotal figure in the creation story. He wasn't just anybody - he was somebody important! Surely, Heaven needed him. And God needed him too! Who would lead his army of angels without him? These thoughts swirled in his mind as he desperately clung to the belief that he would soon be rescued.

XxX

Adam found himself still lost in the pitch-black darkness, unable to see anything around him. He had no idea how long he had been drifting in this state, but it felt like it had been far too long. He realized as he had nowhere else to go, that maybe he had been too brutal in his killings when it came to demons. And yes, he could have been more attentive to the rules instead of skirting along them. If any could hear him, he's learned his lesson now! He would be much more careful in the future.

As he called out for help, he hoped that whoever could hear him would understand the gravity of his situation and come to his aid. Despite his pleas, the silence remained unbroken, leaving him feeling more alone and helpless than ever before.

XxX

The oppressive darkness seemed to stretch on endlessly, causing Adam's desperation to grow with each passing moment. He couldn't help but wonder if anyone would come to his rescue, but deep down, he knew that he was alone. After all, what use did heaven have for him? Lute, his right-hand angel, could easily take over his duties and the archangels were more than capable of carrying on without him. Perhaps it was only right that he suffer the eternal consequences of his actions. It was his own fault, he couldn't deny that. Adam had made grave mistakes, and now he had to face the repercussions of his wrongdoings.

It was fitting, wasn't it? If Lilith could see Adam now, she would be enjoying his eternal suffering. She was as beautiful as she was dangerous. Even in the idyllic setting of the Garden of Eden, Lilith was a force to be reckoned with. She was fiercely independent and determined to do things her own way, no matter the cost. He remembers how he would force himself on her, saying that God wanted this to happen and that it was their duty as His creations to do as they were told. He...didn't like it either but he didn't want to displease God in any way.

He learned the hard way that there was also a darker side to her nature, a ruthless streak that made her dangerous to those who crossed her. Adam made the horrible mistake of ever hurting her and paid the price when he was tempted to eat from that damned apple. Poor Eve, so innocent in nature. So dainty and submissive, the exact opposite of Lilith. He didn't like her either.

Eve was always hanging off of Adam, no matter what he did. Her amazement was unceasing and it seemed that everything Adam did was an incredible feat of strength and intelligence. At first, Adam was flattered by her constant attention and empty praises, but he soon grew tired of it. He couldn't understand what was so great about picking up a simple rock or performing other everyday tasks that he found mundane. Despite this, Eve would still cheer and clap in admiration, which only made Adam feel more annoyed. He wished that she would stop worshiping him for things that he considered to be trivial.

Eventually, he thought this was how he should be treated and expected as such when he first came to heaven.

Adam was now aware of the fact that Eve was a product of a highly patriarchal and oppressive system. The system had been designed in such a manner that after Lilith's rebellion had resulted in Eva being put in her place instead. Consequently, men and women were no longer considered equal. The angels, who had been entrusted with the task of restoring order, had decided to make women more submissive in nature. Adam supposed that this strategy had worked, considering there was no more fighting or rebellion against the order. However, despite the apparent success of this system, Adam couldn't help but feel unhappy. He couldn't shake off the feeling that something was fundamentally wrong with this situation.

As he floated in the dark, for how long Adam couldn't remember, it came to him. Love. He wasn't in love with Lilith at the time of creation nor was he in love with Eve after it. That was why he was unhappy during it all even after he ate the fruit of the forbidden tree. In fact, this was why he had eaten the fruit to begin with. He was so depressed with his life that he was willing to even sin if that meant change.

'And look where that landed you. If only he could do things differently, maybe you wouldn't have died.'

Suddenly, a yank at his core made Adam yelp in pain. What was going on? And then he knew no more.

So, what do you think of the preview? If you're interested in my book, Adam Dies, then go check it out!

Holy fucking shit balls! 😆THANK YOU SO MUCH for making the sinner Lute x archangel Adam fic idea I shared with you! Everything in the first chapter is absolutely perfect. I'm looking forward to round two with Adam and Lute in the bedroom.😉

I can't even describe my reaction when I saw Somewhere Beyond The Pain was the newest Adam x Lute fic on AO3 made by favorite writer, YOU! I don't mind if none of the details I sent you aren't added to the story. Everything your doing with the story so far is great! Whatever you have planned for this fic, don't change anything. Keep doing what you do best!

I'm scared and excited to learn everything Lute has been through during the six months she spent surviving in Hell. Every time Lute wants Adam to give her death, Adam will give her love instead.🥰 Your version of Lute's bird sinner form reminds me of her Harpy form in Lamentation of a Harpy. (Love that fic)

I will send you my final thoughts on Somewhere Beyond The Pain after I read the last chapter of this fic. I think you took my advice about "let loose and have fun with it." Because this story is getting really interesting, Adam actually wants to support redeeming sinners!? Adam is going to prove to Lute she isn't filthy or disgusting to him. To Adam, no matter what form Lute takes he will always see her as a goddess in his eyes. Just like how Lute see's Adam as a god in her eyes.

Thank you! Yeah I meant to reply to your other ask to let you know I was working on something inspired by it, but I forgot lol

I did actually include some details you mentioned, but they’ll show up later.

Anyway, thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far and hope you won’t be too scared off by what’s coming. 👀

The Hazbin Hotel wasn't the only one to suffer damages from the most recent battle with the Exorcists. They were the target of the first attack led by Adam and his Lieutenant, Lute, and likely the most desirable target for Heaven to eliminate, but they certainly weren't the only targets.

There was a second wave of attack, led by an archangel, and this time, all of Hell was their target.

It started with screams filling the streets, interrupting the broadcast the Vees were watching together of the fight currently happening at the hotel. It was finally getting to the good part, where Alastor was about to die by the hands of the angel, but the screams became too close for comfort, and soon, alarms surrounding their tower began blaring.

It was a scramble for them to try and fortify the tower, but it was too late. The angels broke through and tore through every VoxTek employee who stood in their path until they reached the three of them, and a terrible battle ensued.

It wasn't necessarily an attack on them, but as it turned out, on all of Hell. The Exorcists had instructions to obliterate as much as possible and destroy all the souls they could, especially those of the most powerful sinners; the Overlords.

They barely managed to escape with their lives, but that was all they managed to retain. Everything else was lost in the battle; their tower, their employees, their companies... and for Vox, the very relationship he shared with the two of them.

Complications arose during the battle and without a second thought, both Velvette and Val all but disowned him, refusing to allow him to join them again in an attempt to rebuild all they lost. Despite basically being the one to form their group -- the Vees, the three of them -- the bastards disowned him!

In reality, Vox couldn't blame them for the decision after what happened during the battle -- what he did to them -- but that didn't stop it from crushing him any less. He wanted a second chance to make it up to them, to prove that he could change his ways if it meant remaining with them, as part of their group, but they knew better. They refused, casting him aside as if he was another object to be discarded after extermination day.

For a couple of days, all Vox could do was sulk. He all but fell off the grid to the rest of Hell, not appearing in broadcasts or in front of anyone else, too ashamed to show his face, and had too much time to think. It made him realize that without the other Vees or his media, there was nothing left for him.

Maybe it would have been better if one of the Exorcists had taken him out along with the others, rather than living life alone like this.

That was when he realized that he didn't have to be alone. There was one place in Hell that would accept him, regardless of his history, or whatever dirty tricks he previously partook in. One place that wouldn't question him about what happened during the attack at the V Tower, at least not by the person who ran the establishment.

With nothing else left for him, Vox swallowed his pride and showed up on the doorstep of the Hazbin Hotel, knocking on its door and prepared to ask for a room to stay.

You know, I was really getting into the idea of my making my own take of Michael the archangel if he appeared in Hazbin Hotel. I wrote some dialogue and some shit. But now, I think it's best maybe if I don't because it got too crazy.

Specifically, because I feel like it would be repeating what we had with Adam. But instead, it's literally the "Ideal Angel" that @kaijuguy19 said he saw some of my work. He said that I made Adam and Lute look like saints. Along with the fact I was originally going with him being named Gabriel.

And in a way, the dude is essentially, "What if Hazbin Hotel had its own Frollo?" or what I said. He's pretty much the anti-thesis to Charlie and even Lucifer.

You folks want to see some of that stuff I wrote?

Edit update.

There's also the fact I shouldn't get excited for a character that we have no hints about. And it would take focus away from the stuff we already have to deal with at the end of season 1. Specifically, Lilith.

Granted, how I wrote Michael was inspired by criticisms from people who wished Adam was different.

Different, as in people who complained before the show premiered and wondered why he acted and looked like a demon. But seriously, I legit wrote an archangel who would make you miss Adam in a way. Yet with the way I wrote Michael. He felt like he was from a different show.

Guess I'll say after the many voice actor choices I had thought of. Many of which weren't singers if I know right. But the last choice I seem to be going with is Chris Prine.

Yeah...I somehow wrote someone worse than Adam and Lute if you disliked them. I wrote what Kaijuguy called a 'Madman'. A dude that makes Emily uncomfortable and even Sera. And get Chris Pine to sing "Hellfire" while we're at it.
