Omg sorry for coming into your inbox like this but I have Thoughts about AU Lucifer. As in, the one AU Michael killed. I kind of read into AU Michael's bravado about killing Lucifer as covering over extreme guilt and pain (his refering to him as 'my Lucifer' when talking to Cas broke my fucking heart), and I just like, wonder how that fight went. Was this Lucifer full of rage and pain and wanted to kill Michael and failed? Or was he despairing and did he let Michael do it? It sounds like it was a pretty fierce fight, given that Michael said he tore him apart in the sky, but just, ugh my God, I have such thoughts about them and everything with the alternate universe that could have been explored so much more. Ugh I'm sorry

god, yeah. the potential that was squandered with au!michael. look, i know this might be an idea that appeals only to me, but i do think he should have tried to lobotomize lucifer when he had him captured in a futile attempt to remake his own lucifer that he'd killed. and i think he still should have talked about killing his lucifer like he's proud of it, like he enjoyed tearing him apart, but fuck, imagine him saying stuff like that while we know he's literally trying to torture/mindfuck the main universe lucifer into being his perfect little brother again.

sorry lmao everything about any version of michael with me comes back to 'i think he should be contradicting everything he does and says all the time because he has Serious Damage going on' You know, he couldn't have his lucifer, because his lucifer had to die, had to be killed by michael, but there was a point in which lucifer was good and obedient enough that michael could love him without fear of losing him, and if he could just get that lucifer back, everything will be Fine.

(and obviously this wouldn't work. but it would be fantastic lucifer whump, too, which is always a benefit. to me :3)

#ask #spn #au!michael #lucifer spn #if you give me the option i will always go 'hey i think this character should be brainwashed or mind controlled'#because i. love when characters who Need their autonomy get it stripped from them.#late seasons lucifer who is. i mean he is a nihilistic shitlord but he's also very aware that he can Do Shit now.#where he couldn't before. this is not handled or written well but like. s5 lucifer does not have the freedom to do much of anything.#he has a role to play. he's gonna play it well. but none of this is really up to him. he understands he doesn't have free will.#whereas like. later seasons lucifer is freed from that constraint. this is both a good and bad thing for him. and for the world at large.#anyway. au!michael/lucifer lobotomy sessions <3 #where lucifer is fighting it obviously. but you know. you just know.#there's like a tiny part of him. back of his mind. that's going 'but he would love me.'#that's not au!michael's lucifer. that's not lucifer's michael. but maybe. maybe its close enough.#<3 tortures that man. out of love.#you know what my memories of the au!michael episodes are so fuzzy anyway im just gonna pretend this Did happen.#rewriting my memory of the show just like dean rewrote his gay little stint in purgatory
