And their hysteric lil s/o drags them to the corpse and is just there grinning proudly and shit like they didn't rescind a mf's body. I feel like Blitz would be so moved "omg🥹🥺" give his s/o headpats and shit but idk again, you're best at writin' about him, love youuu! -🐆

Angel Dust will be more or less freaked out. Like, he's seen dead sinners before, but he didn't think you were capable of murder. Basically, you killed someone at one of the clubs you frequent who made him uncomfortable. Even though he gets freaked out at first, he finds it very sweet that you killed someone to protect him, and not just for fun.
Husk is surprised at first when you show him the body. Like Angel, he didn't think you were capable of murder. Though he warms up to the idea eventually, it's Hell, you're going to need to defend yourself. I'm not sure who you would have killed for him. Maybe someone he lost to in the past?
Sir Pentious is completely shocked that you murdered someone for him. He knew you were capable of fighting since you've fought alongside him before, but he's never seen you so excited about it. He must admit, he finds your enthusiasm to be quite charming. Wants to hear you rant about every detail of the body and how you planned it of course.
Alastor isn't surprised in the slightest. In fact, he loves the fact you killed someone for him. It proves your loyalty. You probably murdered one of his enemies/someone who hates him. Which is a lot to choose from. He finds your joy of killing to be quite similar to his, and he finds it endearing.
Lucifer is now terrified of you. He knows he's stronger than you in every way being the King of Hell, but he can still get scared. He's mostly scared of the look on your face after it happened. Seeing that face in thousands of sinners, he never thought that you would get that look too. And, you know, it scares him because he kinda feels like he's losing you a little bit.
Blitzø is also ecstatic about you murdering someone. He's never seen you do something so badass and he loved the little show you put on for him. Is very supportive, hyping you up and everything. Either thinks you're his best employee or wants to marry you. And there is an in between. It's both!
Stolas will be quite alarmed that you killed someone for him. He's ever grateful however, considering that he's constantly trying to be assassinated. If you killed Stella, first of, what the fuck?? Secondly, he didn't think anyone would actually kill her. Probably helps you make it look like an accident or blame it on someone else so you don't get in trouble.

I will never understand Christian hell. We're alive for an average of 80 and some odd years, yet if we don't believe in the one god out of a countless number, we are tortured for eternity? Being raised Christian, living that life for 19 years of my life has taught me that hell, the teaching of it and teaching how to avoid it, is simply a fear tactic. Anyone with basic knowledge of the Bible can read an original translation and realize hell is only a metaphor for what we bring ourselves. Yet the Christian church have actively decided to twist it and turn it into a way to scare people into converting to their beliefs.
The thing that baffles me is they'll advertise their religion as one of love and acceptance, yet. The way to salvation is accepting a guilt trip tactic, accepting that we're disgusting maggots, and believing a place of true and eternal damnation exists for those who weren't good enough. All my life I was told "Oh you need to be saved because Jesus died for you" so his death was only used to guilt? Him dying had absolutely no meaning other than to force the church to gain more followers? It had no deeper levels then that?
The people in this religion are blind sheep who will listen to deception and lies painted over with beautiful colors and hymns, and not even question it. They'll willingly give an organization their money, to build other organizations, and not even ask why they're doing it. They encourage blind faith and to devote your entire life to a god who's original goal in creating this earth was to have blind followers who knew not of good or evil. The only reason human beings have freedom today is because of Lucifer, yet he's the bad guy?
Lucifer guiding me out of that religion and opening my eyes was truly such a positive awakening for me. I've never felt happier or freer, and escaping that dogmatic religion was probably the best thing I could have done for myself. Because at the end of the day it caters to the weak hearted who are desperate for some good news. They target victims, those who are weak of mind, those who are desperate, and they take advantage of them. Turn them into puppets. I hope someday more people see the true evil of the church, and turn away from it.

Lovely (Lucifer x Reader)
Pairing: Lucifer x Reader
Description: Lucifer had heard rumor of the demon with the ability to alter people's memories. Y/n was a marvel and he had her wrapped right around his pinky.
Warnings: Same angst, new target.
Word Count: 1,631
Master Lists:
Master Lists 
Hazbin Hotel Master List
A/N This fic is inspired by Spud Cannon's song Lovely. Also don't mind me and my silly little Latin obsessed brain (Lucifer translates to light bringer and is a combination of the latin verb ferre, to bring, and lux, light. I fuck around with that in this.)
Tumblr media
That was what had drawn her to him first: the elegance. Lucifer was a graceful man, a beautiful man, a terribly sad person. In retrospect, that should have been Y/n's sign to take a step back but, it is always so difficult to find the right path in the moment. He had seemed so utterly heartbroken, because, as she now knew, he was so utterly heartbroken, and Y/n had thought: maybe I can help?
Her motivations had just been that at first, helping. It wasn't her fault that he was charming and funny and did things that made her want to be more than friends with him with such alarming regularity that it felt like her life was the worst rollercoaster at an amusement park. The one with eight billion sharp turns and uncomfortable seats that left rider's tailbones bruised. It was almost too much to bear.
Lucifer had heard rumors of the demon who had been gifted with the ability to alter people's memories. It had never been gossip that had interested him much until Lilith had left. Suddenly, his mind had felt like a curse. In the throws of despair, he had looked for her, hunted her down. It hadn't take long, he was Lucifer after all. When he was the one asking the questions, few dared to defy.
The shop was a hole in the wall, drenched in the smell of incense and covered in crystals and other odd objects of curiosity. Lucifer could've sworn he recognized the imp horns on the wall but, ignored it. He was there for a reason and asking questions like that were not the path to his end goal.
The demon herself, the famed mystery, was statuesque. She had sat her table in the back of the shop, draped in jewelry made of bones and gold. She had gifted him the first session free of charge.
In order to keep the pain at bay, Lucifer had been required to come to her shop at least once a month. Y/n was a comfort to him, he associated her with the feeling of relief. The two became fast friends.
"Light bringer." she would beckon him in with a smile, "Still counting those forget-me-nots?"
She spoke to him in Latin, in his first eternal language. She weaved images in the air with the smoke from her fires. She was amazing, a miracle worker. Lucifer was grateful for her, for her skill.
Y/n knew the truth behind it. She tried to ignore it, tried to still her raging heart. She knew it was doomed, had seen with her own eyes the way he was still so in love with someone else. Still, when he had asked her on that first date, a year into them knowing one another, she hadn't been able to bring herself to refuse. He had been so sweet, so earnest, so cheesy. He had asked her to be his and she had told him the truth: she already was.
It was a constant state of denial, one big, overwhelming lie she convinced herself was true. In the beginning, Lucifer had been a doting partner. He surprised her with flowers, he always tried to make her smile. It had all stopped the day she had told him she couldn't use her gift on him anymore.
"Why not?" he has asked, alarmed.
"Because, Ferende Lucem (man bringing light), it's not healthy. I can't make things go away forever, just hide them. You still need to deal with them eventually."
Y/n had thought it was time, had figured that two years of dating and three years of knowing one another would be enough. She had been wrong. Lucifer had ceased in his affections in all but name. No longer was she whisked away to the palace, no longer did she wake to one of his creations on her bedside table.
After about a month, she had decided to take things into her own hands. She refused to recede into the gaps he was creating, refused to just let this all go. Y/n loved him, truly. She wouldn't let the love die without a fight.
The palace guards knew her well, had let her in without question. After some searching, Y/n had found Lucifer locked away in his office. The place smelled of despair. He didn't turn from his empty desk at the sound of the door opening.
"Light Bringer." Y/n hummed softly, rapping a knuckle on the already open door, "Counting your forget-me-not's?"
She hadn't asked him that in years, not since before they had gotten together. He lifted his head from his hands, looking over his shoulder just the slightest bit.
"Malefica (witch)." he replied, his voice low and hollow.
Y/n smiled softly at the pet name and entered the room, letting the door stand open in her wake. She approached him, wrapping her arms around his tired shoulders and pressing a soft kiss to the top of his head.
"Please." Lucifer's voice cracked, "Please take them from me. It's too much, they're too heavy."
Y/n didn't reply, simply nestling her chin into his hair.
"Y/n, please."
"You know I can't do that." she sighed, "It's not healthy."
"This is what is not healthy."
Y/n let go of him and turned his chair so they faced one another. She kneeled down on the ground before him, clasping his hands in her own. His eyes were ringed with red. In that moment, they weren't a fallen angel and a demon, they were just two people. Two people in love and two people housing broken hearts they lied to themselves to stitch back together.
"Lucifer." her eyes searched his face.
It was rare she called him by his true name. The gravity of the moment clung to their skin.
"Lucifer, what am I to you?"
He looked away. Y/n sighed, her heart cracking straight down the middle within the confines of her chest.
"Can I..." she cleared her throat, steeling her nerves, "Am I ever going to be what you're looking for?"
Lucifer's eyes snapped back to Y/n.
"You are what I'm looking for." he insisted, taking his trembling hands from hers and cupping them gently around her face, "You, Y/n, are my sweet little magician, my salve."
"My magic is, you mean."
Lucifer had always been a terrible liar. It was one of the things Y/n loved about him, the way the truth bubbled to the surface of his being. Right now, she wished he could be the best liar on the planet, the best in all of Hell. Right now, she wished she could've been born blind.
Y/n got to her feet, Lucifer's hands hanging in the air where they had held her last. There was no more running, no more hiding from the truth. This was the precipice, the breaking point, the fall.
"You're my salve." he repeated again, his voice soft and sounding like he was trying to convince himself of the fact as much as he was trying to get through to her.
"Don't lie to me." Y/n demanded, tears pressing behind her eyes, "Don't. Just... just don't."
Oh how she wished she could turn back time, set the clocks to zero.
"You never loved me, did you?"
The question hung unanswered in the air. Y/n had known it for a long time, had known it since the beginning to be perfectly honest but saying it out loud made it all the more real. She was dazed, spinning, out of control.
"You don't love me."
"I wish I could. I'm..."
Y/n scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest and holding back tears. She looked away.
"I'm sorry."
"I'll see myself out, I guess."
She hoped he'd call out for her, run after her into the hallway, ask if they could try again could start over. Of course Lucifer did no such thing.
For all the things she had helped her clients forget over the years, Y/n understood them even more now than she ever had before. It was complicated. Now she was going to have to reshape her life. If she ever saw him in the street, it would be her duty to pretend she didn't know him. The memories spawned the terror of potential futures, dreams where things worked out, where everything was okay. They sent her mind reeling.
She had known, all along she had feared the worst and feared confirmation of her knowledge. That was the worst part, it hadn't even been a surprise. It had simply been just that, a confirmation of the truth.
The world caved in around her as she walked home, houses and shops and people all blurring together into something undistinguished and undefinable.
Lovely, that's what he was. In all his misfortune, in all his despair, in all his grace. Lovely but oh god, oh god he didn't love her. Not the way she wanted him to. Not the way she loved him.
Y/n pulled the curtains shut to her little shop, moving methodically and without thought. She sat down at the table in the back, before the pot of incense. She lit it.
Not once in all her years had she ever tried to do use her magic on herself. It seemed like a line in the sand, something utterly forbidden. Y/n shut her eyes.
When she reopened them, the world felt different. Time had passed, she could tell it had but her mind refused to give shape to the years.
"So this is what it must feel like." she mumbled aloud, noticing the remnants of her ritual spread out on the table before her, "I wonder what happened."

Author & Mensch: Reflections on the impact of @neil-gaiman on my life, in essay and doodle
As a woman of a certain age, I am a well-practiced overthinker. Nerd, geek, know-it-all, intellectual, the names have been biting or praise depending on who wielded them. They’re all true, and I embrace them. 
In the early days of adulthood, when I was a wee 20-something overthinking nerd, geek, know-it-all, intellectual (20+ years ago), I became deeply interested in image and text and text-as-image. While friends were watching and arguing over Survivor, I was obsessing over Peter Greenaway’s The Pillowbook and Prospero's Books and Neil Gaiman’s Sandman. (To this day my copies of the Sandman graphic novels and the English translation of The Pillowbook of Sei Shonagon are proudly displayed on the good bookshelves—you know, the ones I want people to peruse.)
Sandman isn't merely good storytelling and good art, it teases at some of the fundamental questions to which my religion-major heart was consistently and reliably drawn. It modeled a way of rendering the questions—and suggested answers—I would never have imagined on my own.
In those days, I created an artist's book: an altered gift edition of Hamlet. I explored Ophelia’s femininity and the inevitability of her break with her mental health, caught as she is between Hamlet and her father. I imagined her story if she’d had true agency. I investigated the way art (fan art?!) had shaped my understanding of the play and my relationship to it. I layered in my story—my resonance and dissonance with hers—and my art, along with images of famous and not-so-famous paintings of Ophelia. I proudly named Greenaway and Gaiman as influences. 
I imagined myself an artist. And, truthfully, I suppose I was one. 
I read Good Omens back then, too, delighting over the religious tropes and subversions, the humor, and the fundamental faith in humanity that shone through. 
In the two decades since then, below the din of “responsible” choices (that have mostly moved me away from imagining myself an artist) there has been a melody quietly bringing me comfort, shifting my perspective, and reminding me who I want to be. When I stop to listen for and name the music, I realize much of it generates from Neil Gaiman. 
The Graveyard Book gave me comfort and hope as a new parent. 
Ocean at the End of the Lane reminded me of the layers and the depths⏤the archetypes and metaphors⏤present in everything around me, if I am willing to seek them.
Neil’s anecdote about meeting Neil Armstrong has been a talisman against imposter syndrome. Or, more precisely, it has been a permission slip for forgiving myself when the imposter syndrome inevitably surfaces.
The episode of Dr Who he wrote (“the Doctor’s Wife”) changed the way I understand the entire Dr Who experience before and since. 
Lucifer (tv), which his work inspired, gave me joy, comfort and distraction through a tough time in my life. 
When, a few years ago, I realized he is Jewish, I had that swelling of pride and resonance that I always get when someone I admire shares that identity with me.
And now there’s the Good Omens tv series. It has opened something in me I didn’t realize was closed. Crowley and Aziraphale are helping me better understand myself, and love, and gender, and storytelling, and, believe it or not, Torah. I am writing again for the first time in ages. I'm drawing more often and with more joy than I’ve known maybe since childhood.
I’ve been getting back into my gratidoodle practice, drawing and writing what I’m grateful for. And when I decided to add Neil Gaiman’s face and some words about my appreciation for his work to my sketchbook, I realized he’s brought me full circle.
Text and image and text-as-image + Neil Gaiman + story is an old constellation for me. And once again, I find my thoughts dancing, shifting, blossoming to the quiet melody of (one of?) the greatest storyteller(s) of this generation. 
And now that I am actively engaging with other Gaiman fans, I see how responsive and kind and encouraging he is to those of us who love his work, and his name is permanently etched on my heart: a benefactor, a teacher, a role model.
How satisfying and fitting that such a powerful and resonant voice, miraculously, thankfully, beautifully, also seems to be a genuine mensch. 
B”H (thanks to God) that I am alive at the same time as such a one.
#I didn't realize I was going to write AND draw when I started this #but I felt I needed both #I wish I had a flatbed scanner #this photo doesn't do it justice #there's greater nuance in the color in person #Stories matter #Art matters #like, really matters #Neil Gaiman is a gift to this world #Good Omens #Crowley and Aziraphale #Ocean at the End of the Lane #The Graveyard Book #Neil Armstrong and imposter syndrome #The Doctor's Wife #So grateful for tumblr

Always so serious but he does look like a business man
A very very handsome business man cough
After working there for a little bit he admits he likes the way you make his drink & hates when you guys miss each other on days off
One day he comes in normal clothes & you got caught off guard when he made it to the register
"It's my day off but I was craving my usual. I'm glad to see you're here."
Pleaseee you gotta be blushing right now alalfkfldk

You see him every other day, it looks like he works at a retail store in the plaza
You thought he was cute & funny despite how loud he could be
One day he defends you against a really rude customer
You say your thank yous & give him his drink for free that day
"Yeah I guess I am a hero. Heroes get free drinks all the time though, ya?"

You two are on friendly terms even though he can be awkward
You think he's very cute though, especially when he talks about his passions
You felt like you two were dancing around eachother so you decide to make a move
You drew a Gundam robot on his drink & wrote 'Gun-DAM you're cute!'
You nervously handed the drink & he took it without noticing the drawing on it
You watched as he left the shop,took another sip, then stop as he looked at his drink
You could see he was happily freaking out but then abruptly stop
He looked back to the shop & you waved a shy hello
He ran back inside to make sure, "S-sorry is this a mistake? W-was this for someone else??"
"Look on the bottom"
He raised the cup & looked under
Levi, AkuCon this weekend?
Tumblr media
Satan:
Usually orders a simple cappuccino but will add a flavored syrup occasionally
Comes in often on his breaks
You've seen him working at the bookstore in the plaza
He looks like a simple guy yet very charming
You always notice a book on him & one day you decide to ask what he's reading
You learn you read the same things & start having fun conversations every time he stops by
Eventually he asks you if you'd be able to give your thoughts on his writing
"Sure, I'd be happy to read it if you bring it!"
He gave you a flirty smile
"Actually I was thinking maybe we could hang out...like somewhere that's not here?"
Tumblr media
Asmo:
Always orders an iced vanilla oat milk latte
You see him every few days, really friendly customer that loves to chat & you become friends quick even though you want more
You find out he works at a nearby agency & is an up & coming model
You felt a little intimidated, he could be really famous one day!
Nevertheless you treat him just the same even as those around him changed, he lets you know how grateful he is
One day he comes in upset & tells you the agency is moving across town to a bigger location so he won't be able to see you there anymore
At the same time both of you blurt out
"I still wanna see you!"
Tumblr media
Beel:
You never know with this guy
He works in the sports store across from the cafe
He's always indecisive with the menu & one day just tells you to make whatever
You're his fave barista, he thinks you make the best drinks either way
Doesn't realize he just likes everything & has a crush on you
You can't help but get excited when he looks excited to see you golden retriever energy
You find out he's a foodie type & you guys talk about the local spots around town
"Would you like to check out the new sandwich store that opened a few doors down? Uh...like, maybe a date?"
Tumblr media
Belphie:
Usually orders a hot regular latte but occasionally orders hot chocolate
He appears to be a student as he comes in often to study & always looks tired

He thought you were cute & was thankful for your help
After a few weeks of tutoring (+some heavy flirting), he passed his exam flawlessly
"Actually can you help me with one other thing?"
"Yeah, what?"
"Would you like to go on a date sometime?"
Tumblr media
Diavolo:
Has a new favorite every week but really likes lattes/teas
You can tell he's important with his assistant present
You wonder why the assistant doesnt just get his order though
Anyway hes hot really friendly & chatty & can tell a few good jokes, you appreciate them!
He always seems reluctant to leave the shop which makes your heart flip
Always leaves a big tip! ... I want him to give me a big tip 😔
The two of you find out you have a lot more in common than you thought
One day he admits that these coffee runs are the things he looks forward to the most since his day is usually very busy & doesn't get much else normalcy
He lets slip that it's mainly seeing you that adds to his joy so he goes all in
"If you're interested, care to join me for dinner this weekend?"
Tumblr media
Barbatos:
Always large orders of a few different drinks (part of his job)
Though you notice he always orders tea for himself & likes to buy different tea blends
He's a very (cute) polite customer, one of the few
You two usually chat as you make his large order & you can't help but fall for him
Knowing he loves to buy limited release tea blends, you usually save him one before the cafe sells out
You never tell anyone about it but:
"I appreciate you always saving me one."
"Oh? How did you know!?"
"I have a friend who stopped by earlier & said it was one of those times they missed out. Yet, there always appears to be one for me even after sell-out. Thank you kindly."
You blush at being found out, "seems I've been caught!"
He chuckles & gives you another shock:
"I've been meaning to ask...will you allow me to take you out one of these days?"

Obey Me! Brothers take care of their baby while you’re away
Warning: possible heart attack from cuteness
Y/C/N = Your Child’s Name
Tumblr media
you know, his baby was pretty well behaved
but was pretty restless after you left
a day without you was lonely
not just for your baby but him as well
you just always knew what to say and do
“I know you’re not going to want to sit with me at my desk for hours, so let’s go find something that you’ll like.”
honestly he would try different things to see what your baby seemed to enjoy
cats? anime? reading? sleeping? different foods? money? shopping?
he was a bit prideful when his baby seemed to relax when he put on some music on his record player
“A fellow Mozart enthusiast? Excellent taste.”
he also realized that his darling child also really adored Cerberus
and Cerberus really was fond of Y/C/N, even lifting them up when they stumbled over
Tumblr media
it was never a fun time when you had to go somewhere
it wasn’t that your baby didn’t like him, it wasn’t that
just why do you have to go? can’t you take them?
they miss you, come back
like father like baby
but the credit card teether seemed to calm them down fine
honestly Mammon would try to find something to keep them busy for the day
“Why don’t we make something for mama/papa?”
and just like that, the two would spend the day finger painting or coloring with crayons
Tumblr media
Luckily he was prepared for this
not to mention he’s played lots of games where you had to take care of a baby
not to mention your whole theme for this baby was them being your player 3
he would have a box of toys in his room for his baby
he always made sure that his prized collectables were no way in reach or had the possibilities of falling
He would pull up a nice game like mario or sonic and set them on his lap
he would give them their tiny baby controller and he’d have his
“You’re the expert, Y/C/N, ready?”
he’d be watching their tiny fingers hit buttons and would play accordingly to his baby’s playstyle so they’d think they were really playing
but he’d also help them win
“Woah, Y/C/N! You’ve beaten my highest score!”
Tumblr media
honestly you going out gave him the opportunity to take his baby out of a father-baby day
he would have his baby carrier strapped to his front and he’d be carrying a diaper bag full of everything that was surely needed
he even had a guide to babies for dummies daddies
he knew what he was doing, but just in case
he would take his baby to a cat café and then to a local library where he could a picture book about cats softly
“Which kitty do you like best Y/C/N?”
he might even been conned into getting a kitten for your child
as if he could resist the hopeful eyes and charming smile
“Y/C/N, do you wanna go prank Lucifer after this?”
he would only get a devilish giggle from his child, but he knew that it was a yes
Tumblr media
SHOPPING TRIP!!!
his child was in need of the latest fashion
and frankly so was he
“You’re the best dressed in the whole world, Y/C/N-besides me of course.”
he would even ask his child what shade of certain makeup he would think fit him for the day
honestly this trip would be a great way for people to see him
and lord does he love the attention
and luckily for him, his child did too
Tumblr media
Beel would be on a mission to make sure that his little one was entertained while you were gone
breakfast together and then it was off to say hello to the other uncles
he got a baby book from Satan who he’d asked to get for Y/C/N
he asked Levi to sew Y/C/N’s favorite teddy back up after being used as a teether
a brief nap with Uncle Bels was needed as they had a long day yet
he would take them to the park so they could play on the swing or go down the slide
he would be grateful to Mammon when he agreed to come along
“Y/C/N? Want some ice cream?”
Tumblr media
heh
he would feed his baby and change them if need be
he’d change them into their little cow onesie & wear a matching one himself
and then it was off to have a bit of a rock in the comfy rocking chair
if they were lucky, they’d sleep right there and wait for you to get home
if his baby was as restless as you, he would sing to them softly and cuddle them in your shared bed in the attic
when you’d get home, you’d find both of them snuggling together on your pillow

CHERUB (PART III) - Dealer!Joel Miller x AFAB!Reader
Tumblr media
summary: the devil has a funny habit of making you want your own suffering.
a note from Lucy: Well, this is it folks. The third and final instalment of the unholy trinity that is cherub. The fic that i had no idea would get this amount of traction. The fic that gave me my username, blog theme, the majority of my mutuals and the freedom to explore more taboo areas of writing that I never felt comfortable with doing before. I just wanted to thank you all for all the kind words you’ve shared with me. Comments, reblogs, messages, they all mean the utter world. But i also want to specifically thank @ramblers-lets-get-ramblin who was such a huge help for motivation when wrting each of these. She's been there since the first day of cherub and always let me obsess over dealer!joel with her. Ange, i love you baby. Out of all my fandom experiences, this has definitely been one of the best. I know this sounds a lot like a goodbye completely, but it's not i swear! I just never really knew where this was going, but I think this is a pretty good way to end the series and I hope you agree too. Part of me isn't ready to let go after such a short run, but I honestly have no idea where to go from here so I think I did it as much justice as I could. Regardless, Cherub and Dealer!Joel will forever have a place in my heart all thanks to you lovely lot! Your love means the world to me and you are all so easy to share this with, you've given me an environment to flourish creatively and I'm eternally grateful for that. I wish you all the love, hugs, kisses, and angel wishes in the world!

series m.list | m.list
Tumblr media
The danger didn't lie in his hands. It didn't sit in his closed first to be suffocated. Choked out until the life of it was compressed. Until its face was blue, then purple and its eyes were bloodshot and streaked with red. The danger lay in your heart. And it thrived off the beating.
What is ‘it’, you ask? Mania.
The Greeks had it nailed down when they split love seven different ways. To the crucifix through its punctured and bleeding palms. All equal, but different. They understood that one love is different to the other. That love can be either obsession, or lingering in the quiet parts of a person's mind. You cannot hold up a mirror to one and deceive into believing it is another. No matter how sweet the lie seeps into the ear. They don't work that way. You were not Lucifer, you had no forked tongue. And your mania wasn't Eve. There was no apple to devour. Only the strong arm of Joel Miller to cling to like a noose.
Some love passionately. Find it in the scathing friction of flesh upon flesh. The heat two bodies make only in sex. You were no body anymore. Merely a corpse for him to dig up and breathe life into whenever he needed relief. So it was not Eros. Some love playfully. In the back and forth of a conversation that makes the mind and heart float in the clouds among the soul. Entwine them together until you are too sedated to know the difference between the three pillars of personal holy trinity. There was nothing lighthearted about Joel Miller. So there was no Ludus. Affection. The subtle, it-is-there-even-when-it-is-not weight of lovers hand in lovers hand. Joel clutched your throat with his heavy hand. He didn't lace your fingers in his like tapestry threads. And he was anything but friendly. So it could never be Philia. He was not unconditional. Familial. Constant. Committed. Long lasting. Selfless. He crept in through the backdoor and took. Then slipped back out. So the thick blood red line was drawn through Storge. Agape. Pragma. The love you had was not for yourself. Without him you hated yourself. Hated how you didn’t feel needed. Or wanted. So Philautia was buried six feet under hot earth, the final nail in the coffin that was lowered into the rotting, thick-with-decaying-mulch, stenching ground. By none other than Mania.
This was something you came to realise as you stumbled from his truck back to your room. His come dribbling down your leg. Luke asleep on the sofa. Months passed of the same thing. He’d take you home from work, only letting you go once he'd had his fill. Played out the sick fantasy from mind to matter, let it bleed through his fingers into fruition. You let it happen for mania. It was the thing inside you that kept you going. Before you thought mania fed off your heartbeat. But now you realised mania fed your heartbeat. The kick it got every second fired the next muted pulse. That's what kept it alive. Energy for energy. You were never one to bite the hand that feeds. That’s a sinner's duty.
The usual sight of Luke slumped in his lazy boy, guzzling beer was what you expected. The liquor once again swigged past his lips and dribbling down his stubbled chin. Wiry greying hair greasy on his head, balding. Thinning. Residue from a line on the coffee table. You were never tempted by it before. And you were determined never be a Angel dust statistic like him.
Instead, you opened the flimsy door of your trailer to see him hunched over a small collapsible table. His hand running over his sunken eyes, dragging purple eye bags down with his fingertips in shame. Cards in his other. It had your breath catching in your throat like a hare in a wire snare trap. This time around the small collapsible round table. Cards in his hand. And two other men shared a knowing glance and a grim smile of satisfaction. Him.
Joel Miller.
The tension was thicker than molasses in the room. You only wished it was as sweet. You swallowed it down thickly. It stretched your throat. You watched in morbid fascination when he lay his hand on the table in a fan for all to horror at, a sly smirk slithering over his lips and curling the one corner of it up like a scorpion's tail.
“Full house.”
“Fuck!” And Luke’s hand slapped the tabletop as he folded.
The door clicked. All three looked up to see you. Luke, Joel, and the man who held a familiar resemblance to your own personal devil. With eyes on you, you felt more like that hare in the snare than ever. Clapping eyes on the hungry wolf as mutton dripped bloody from his sneer. Cruel and hungry. You imagined him as that wolf, hyde thick and bristled under your soft fingers as he led you to some deep, dark, thorny place. A place only lit by the eyes of owls who observed while he had his way with you. Ripped your stockings to get to sweet fruit.
“Great, the cunt is home.” Luke spat to the room but you, looking over the table again as he bit his thumb nervously to the edge of the hangnail. “Get me a beer.” Your nostrils flared in defiance at his demand, knuckles pale as fingers furled into a fist. An army of goosebumps had stood to attention all along your arms and the back of your neck. A shiver shattering down your spine. Your heart had enough of its prison of your ribcage in your anger, ramming into it over and over in a frantic hammering. And when that wasn't enough, you felt it in your throat. Among the tightening of your airways. “You hear me girl?” He asked, looking at you. He stood, chair scraping against the floor and you staggered back to the point your shoulderblades hit the door. While he was a thin, wiry man, he had a vicious backhand that stung. Like a vengeful aftertaste. “Y’need me to beat some sense inta ya girl, huh?!” You dared to spare a glance at Joel who was too busy collecting his winnings. You soon to be among them.
“Sorry.” You mumbled, looking to the floor and cowering off to the kitchen to get him his beer.
“Y’short, Luke.” You heard from the doorway, straining to hear the tail end of the conversation. Something about your uncle having it by monday. And then Joel telling him he shouldn’t raise a bet he doesn't have the dough to cover.
It took a second to catch your breath. Tears strung in your eyes and your chest threatened to split in two. Your sternum felt like it was cracking down the middle into clean halves under the weight of your chest. A hand clasped over your quivering lips to bite back a horrible sob and muffle it. Only your palm could know you were crying miserably. So you took a beer from the fridge, heard the hiss as the lid gave way and popped off. It clattered to the linoleum and you bared your teeth at the grating sound, picking it up and tossing it in the bin.
“Here.” You mumbled, placing it unceremoniously on the table in front of Luke.
“Y’got any spare cash on you, girl?” Luke asked, beady eyes staring you down as he raised the bottle to his lips and took a drink. You grimaced inwardly at the sight of his yellow teeth when he made a satisfied sigh.
“No.”
Joel’s brow raised. You should know by now not to lie to a man who can read you like a book. That's the thing about narcissists. They have a way of being able to understand you like a one word sentence on paper. A quick glance and you’re unravelling with concealed meaning and connotation.
“C’mon, Cherub…gotta have something from workin’ this late in that diner of yours…” You dared to challenge Joel with a look. A look that retreated soon after the advance of the glare of his eye. The same glare of the hungry wolf. Of the cheated man. It was unkind, and unyielding, and did not hold mercy upon the souls of the enthralled, the damned, or the harrowed. You might try to cross through the sentence, or turn the page. Or shut the book entirely. But the truth is still the truth even when you chose not to look. This was the man that knew your mind. Knew your body. And coaxed his will out of you each time. His word was all it took to cave, so you took the folded bills from your apron, flicking through them with a bitten back scowl,
“How much does he owe you?” Joel smiled with amusement, counting through his winnings to see what was short.
“Ninety-eight.”
‘What?” you asked, eyes wide, hurt. Disheartened. Fingers stilling halfway through the small stack. And Joel smirked.
“You heard me, Cherub.”
“Give Joel his money.” Luke warned.
“But it’s not his money! And it’s not yours to give!” You tried, and saw the warning tick of your uncle's narrow jaw. It was always set on edge before he threw a hand. Cast a palm across your cheek in a brandishing. It had you cowering. Relenting. Tossing the money in front of him. If it fell to the floor in its flurry he could pick it up and grovel about it. But Joel never grovelled. Only relished. Then reminded Luke of the money he still owed for the drugs.
And you walked back to the kitchen, biting into your lip again. With the devil and your demon in the next room over, you were sure this could be hell. A buzz filled your ears. Like the constant thrum of flies over roadkill. In festering flesh wounds where broken white of bone poked through gaping, bleeding holes. Blood matted in the hyde of the animal helpless and scattered across the road. A leg here, smashed teeth there. You were the roadkill. Joel was at the wheel of that which mowed you down. Luke was howling in the passenger side.
His boots thumped clumsily over the linoleum and he let out a huff through his nose while he adjusted his low slung jeans in the doorway.
“Cherub?” He asked, clearing his throat huskily — a consequence of the smokes he used religiously. You stood with your back to him, palms flat to the countertop and head hung low to fight the sting of tears simmering from within.
“He threatened to hit me.” You whispered, not turning to face him. If you mattered his ears would strain to meet you halfway. “And you did nothing.”
“Come on, Cherub…don't be like that.” he sighed, and you imagined him pinching the bridge of his hooked nose.
“He took my money. You took my money. How am I gonna get out of here without it?” You croaked, your tired eyes seeing faces of gaping mouths and slate black eyes in the speckled linoleum of the counter.
No reply came from the door. And when you turned it was empty. He had left. The other man had left. The tv was on again with the scream of a woman murdered. And Luke fell asleep in his lazy boy.
Another day, another shift. And more horror ensued. At first, what set the nerves thrumming was there was no sign of Luke. His truck was gone from its spot. No drunk slumped on the worn leather settee. No scream or grotesque image on the TV. Merely an empty bottle on the coffee table.
You swallowed, shutting the door cautiously with a muffled click of the latch. You didn't dare call his name. Just pushed it down into your stomach for it to churn the thought up in acid. But the horror jumped back up your throat into a lurid scream at the sight of your mattress tossed to the side. The moth bitten pillowcase on the floor, void of money. Your money. Gone. Someone had rifled through your belongings. Turned your only space into a mess. Strewn clothes, bed sheets, pillows in their haste. All your work. All the nights of living off bitter coffee from the pot at work, scrounging together tips. It made you seethe. The heat was an inferno at your fingertips, nails embedding crescents into your palms. You searched all over for it. But to no avail.
When Uncle Luke came home, he smelled of hard liquor. It was a miracle – or curse – he hadn't wrapped his car around a tree. He gloated, and sneered, and shoved it down your throat in his intoxication that he’d found it under the mattress. Joel had called him, told him you planned on leaving. And he connected the dots. Ransacked your room. Oh, how the man would hate his loose lips when you gave him hellfire.
You expected Luke’s reaction. You knew if he were to ever find out he’d snatch it up in his greedy, grimy hands and take it for himself. He spent all of it. Paid his debt to Joel, gambled some on bad luck bets, drank with the rest. Slugged liquor down his throat and got drunk off your labour. And then left you on your floor with tear stained cheeks and a heart of heavy lead.
You wanted your money. But would you take from the man who gave you your everything? Your sense of being. A religion and faith. You believed in nothing more than the way he held your name between his teeth. You forgot what your real name felt like in the same place. And it occurred to you that he had never said it. Did he know it? You weren't them anymore. You were Cherub.
The sweet and mourning lamb in you wanted to go over just to be his again, and not carry out the plan of taking back what was yours. That which he would see as sin. You felt guilt claw up your throat at the thought alone. It seemed blasphemous to conspire against him. Why do you insist on protecting yourself. You who was the sacrificial lamb?
If you did go – and you let him have you again – you were whole. But at what cost? Could you stand another night of temporary hell under the guise of heaven. Of touch so cold, like ivory or black ice. To have him thumb your skin with blunt endearments and the croon of ‘cherub’ past his chapped lips. Definite like black and white. No escape. What he’d do and how. Whispering them in the stone deaf shells of your ears like they were a sculpture. Pygmalion’s Bride. He’d made you all you were today. Took chisel to marble and carved out his masterpiece. Cherub.
You were soft, and pliable. Wax heated by his flame. You kissed back. You moaned for him. Begged him for his release and not your own. Bruised with his handprint. The warmth of life under flesh. But without him…you returned to marble. Another pretty thing to be gawked at. He tempted you with it because he knew more than anyone, more than god himself who watches these exchanges, that you can't live without him. It was like telling a child not to slip off to the woods in the dead of night. That was a pointless warning. You knew what lay there anyway, what threat it would be. That wolf in his thick bristled hyde. Curled up in his den. You would see it as innocence and vulnerability if you weren't so scared. But you knew when he woke up the teeth would shine again. And they’d tear flesh. Let blood. Gnash bone. Dripping from the glaring white once he finished with your carcass. Your matter between them and your crimson lacing his gums. Who knew being eaten alive could be so pleasurable.
But then again, how could bering alone really be hell if the devil wasn't there?
There is mania in your body. But you can't get it out. It rattles in your head and lungs and glues to the backs of your gnashers. No matter how much you wish to spit it out. It infects your tongue. It welds itself to the matter of your bones. Melts into the cracks between your teeth. Claggy against your tongue. All to show the sweetest of words have the bitterest of tastes. You can feel it swell underneath your skin. In the gap between muscles where it festers and heats you up. Like fever it burns, like the fire that consumes and the pillars that hold the temple up crack, the ground shakes, and the beast rears its ugly head at you. You’re losing your body to him. It's a fight you try to win. You dare to. You give your all, tooth and nail each time in the gaps between. In the silence and hollow that nestles in the middle of the meetings. In the quiet, where no one is around but the cracked plaster of your room. You stopped caring who fired the gun first. You were always the one who got shot down in the end. Right in the stomach. Blood gurgling up your throat in a grotesque plea for help.
All these weeks you had shrunk yourself to the size of a bird in his hands, sang a sweet sweet song of his name, until the squeeze of his first closest off your throat. And the sound stopped altogether. Laid there after the warning. Patient while you had your wings clipped and your freedom taken. And he took more. Took the beating of your heart with his teeth. Took the will to want. The will to love. The will to need anything else, as well as the need to have better. Below you were the foundations. Only now you saw them for what they were, a decaying mess of fragments, the stench of wood rot hot in your nose. A musk like no other. His musk. So in your anger you took an axe to a willow to see how it would weep. You slipped past the sleeping drunk you call Uncle Luke. Out the door, over gravel, past the truck he coaxed you to without the need of a sweet treat. You’d yank the axe from the bark of the weeping willow, its sob echoing in the wind that rustled its drapery of lush green leaves. Leaves that will wilt as sap bleeds from its severed trunk. Take the axe to the wolf. Cut him. Scrotum to throat.
Take back what was yours. And leave those woods skipping.
Your knocks descend upon his door in quick raps until he opened it with a grumble. Then a smirk. “Evenin’, Cherub.”
No salvation. No going back. No space among the clouds. Just the fall. You pushed past him into his front room. “Where is it?’ You hissed, tossing the cushions of the couch up. Nothing there. So you left them on the floor and did the same for the airchair. Nothing there either.
“Woah, calm down, girl!’ Joel huffed, reaching for your arm, which you tugged back from him in a new found strength surging you forward, out of his arms. “Where’s what?”
“My damn money, Miller!” You bit back with venom laced spit. A hunger for revenge making you salivate like a bad dog.
“The fuck you talking about?”
“You know exactly what I'm talking about, dickhead!” And he recoiled at your bared teeth, your verbal assault and battery, but went in for his own.
“Watch your damn foul language, girl!” He warned, reaching the end of his already short tether.
“You know how much he stole from me? Three hundred dollars of my hard earned chash. Forget my fucking ticket out of this shithole, I ain’t even paying rent now! And for what? Your god awful drugs!” His nostrils flared, and you watched the vein in his neck bulge under the sweltering heat of his own anger. Coiling inside him. Wounded bitch about to bite back.
“You didn’t have much of a probelm with my drugs after I fucked that pretty little hole of yours. All dumb and needy f’me, Cherub.” You grimaced at the sneer. But the feeling made your knees buckle. The name again. Cherub. You were Cherub. His cherub. “You want ya money back, huh? You can have it.”
That made you stutter. Thoughts skidding to halt at the sight of a brick wall. Crumpled matter as it smashed into it anyway. “What?”
“I ain't giving it to you for free though.”
“You're sick! It’s my fucking money!”
“Not in the eyes of the law its not.” And he folded his great oaks of arms over his chest in satisfaction. Once again one upping you.
“The eyes of the law? Says the fucking drug dealer. I bet you got way worse than coke in duffel over there. Wonder what the law would say about that?” It was said dismissively over your shoulder as you turned to leave. Alas, once again his large hand encompassed your wrist and squeezed. Pulled you back flush to his broad chest. His breath was hot on your neck as he whispered sweetly into your ear.
“Come on now, Cherub. You wouldn't do me in like that would ya? Not when I love ya…”
The way he said it…it didn't seem real. It was false. Comforting but not real. You knew it was a lie. This wasn't love. He didnt love. If he loved you he'd ask for your number then call you. Take you out. Let you cry on his shoulder and drive you home after. Kiss you in the dark for only the walls to see. Let you stay a night or two, or a whole damn week. Give you your damn money back. Stand up to Luke with a closed fist to the face. Leave swelling and a deep bruise on his cheekbone as a first and final warning.
“You love me?” You asked, voice small and hollow in your chest.
“Yeah, Cherub. I love you too.” He cooed, as if he knew you loved him already. All this and nose running over the curve of the side of your neck, tongue trailing hot in pursuit, it had you keeling over in confession at his feet. “You’re so cute when you're angry. Come on now, lemme make those tears go away…and you can have your money back, and we can forget this ever happened.” That tone…it was patronising. It made the sense in you rattle the cage of your ribs. Claw at the bars of bone and run into them like a caged animal. Because that’s what it was. A caged animal. But your heart was holding its hand over its mouth in a trance as it let his words ebb deeper. Somewhere between desperate and divine. But what was his motive?
God, Jesus, all above that is holy, you didn't care! After all this time, it was still no secret, or hushed uttering that Joel Miller was now everywhere in you. Scraping the backs of your teeth, festering like a virus in your bloodstream. Melding to the marrow of your bones. The walls of your cunt.
He still had a devastating habit of seeping through the cracks of your closed lids. Still ready to pillage and plunder his way through your head in its numbed state of sleep. When you could have finally— finally stopped and not felt. But he ebbs deeper. Always would. Always will.
It's what got you here. It would end you if it could. Snuff out your heartbeat and the fire inside of you. All he need do was lick his fingers and press them to the wick. And leave the smoke to string out and curl. You thought you were hungry for love before. But now you realised you were just hungry for the sight of your blood on his lips. The gnashing of you between his teeth. The curl you made of his brow. If it wasn’t devastating, reaping its agony in your silly little fractured chest— you didn’t dare need, nor crave it. You came for the pleasure but you stayed for the pain. And he took again, and again.
So you let him ‘make it up to you’. Let him claw at your clothes until they were scraps on the floor. Tore your stockings. Showed you those gleaming teeth. The wolf. And you, his sacrificial lamb. His Cherub.
“Feel that?’ He asked, with the slow drag back and forth of him inside you, parting you. This wasn’t fast, or rough. This was slow. And it made you need more. Need it faster. Need him hurtling you towards the edge of harrowing oblivion. He knew that. It’s why he took his time with it this time around. “Yeah. You do.” Joel answered for you. You never had to answer. But often he made you say it from your own quivering lips. Just to have the taste of the words from your tongue bleed into his. The neverending praise. “Why would you wanna leave that Cherub?” You couldn't answer, only let out a soft sob. “Huh? Answer me, Cherub. Why’d you wanna fuckin’ leave that?” And he punctuated it with pulling out to the bulbous head of his clock, then slamming back in with one sharp thrust. And then he was still.
You whined a shallow gasp into his mouth. But he didn’t kiss you. Joel never kissed you. His teeth sinking into your bottom lip shut you right up before his tongue delved deeper into it. The thumb of the hand that slithered between your legs rolled over your clit, making you mewl over the buzz of electricity causing you to clamp down on his thick, full cock. You were so eager for more. Anything more than what he was giving you. He smirked into your mouth when he felt your hips buck forward, trying your damn hardest to push his cock deeper into you. Silly little cherub. You should know better than to defy God. “See? Felt good didn’t it?” You nodded as much as you could in your current piston.
“Mhm.”
“See what you can have if you stay. Why fight it cherub?”
“Yes, Joel.”
“You gonna listen then, Cherub?”
“Yes. Yes! I’ll listen, just-” You shuddered at the thought of it, tears brimming at the the threshold of your eye. ”Please.”
“Say it.” He waited, wanting you to beg for it in the pretty way he knew you could. The choir voice. The songbirds hymn. The whole time his eyes did nothing but stare you down hungry at the sight of you falling apart from nothing but a hand to your throat and a single his throbbing dick buried in your aching cunt. It all pooled down into your centre, creating a rush your head had trouble keeping up with. “Tell me why you wanted to leave.”
“I dunno-” You stuttered, once again rolling your hips up. His hand at your throat pressed into your skin again, harder. It choked you. It had you drawing in a sharp, meagre breath. And he pulled out, running the underside of himself through the hot, drooling seam of your cunt. You shivered when the tip brushed up to your clit momentarily. The bead of precome at his slit smearing into your sex, mixing with your slick. “I dunno, Joel. I- I just wanted my money. I just wanted out. I hate it.” You babbled through closed eyes, chest heaving with sobs, and hot tears ran thick down your flushed cheeks.
“You hate it, huh?” He mocked and crooned, still catching your clit with the tip of his cock, hips waxing and waning in a slow roll. “You hate me too?” He knew the answer. But again, it was the satisfaction of knowing you were wrapped around his finger. Ready to bend over backwards for him. Him seeping into you through the cracks of your ribs, the gaps between your teeth. The opening of yourself to the twisting knot of denial within you. Your back arched like the lofty roof of a chapel, legs parting like its heavy doors. He followed you with hunger. You opened your mouth to speak but he squeezed momentarily on your throat again, oxygen starvation and the smell of him dizzying you. He relished in the whimper that he garnered from you. That and how he left you breathless just from his cruel touch.
“No.” You garbled as his thumb unhinged your jaw. Saliva in your mouth pooling while his thumb pressed your tongue down, bitter with a smokers telltale tobacco staining. It slipped past your lips, dribbled down his digits making a sticky mess at the curve of his thick wrist. He drew up a glob of saliva in his throat, watching as it drooled thickly, gluttonously, past his lips into your waiting mouth. He watched as you gagged on it, and then he let your jaw go so you could close your mouth. You swallowed eagerly, savouring the taste on your tongue. For what did it matter anymore? One day, you’ll be nothing but dust. Bronchioles in lungs will mimic roots. Navels will copy trunks. Organs will feed worms. Ribs will fossilise and lips that are kissed will mould back to Mother Nature. It's all you have ever been. Quick. Convenient. Easy to please, eager to help. Waiting lips, wanting cunt. Warm, never warm enough. But he kept you like a butterfly in a glass jar. He let you see freedom but never experience it. Why need it when you had the stretch of him inside you. The feeling of him, heat to heat with your sex.
“You want this, cherub? Wanna be stuffed full of me again?”
“Always wanted it, Joel.” You mumbled into his mouth, sniffing back the last this spurt of tears, hypnotised. His hand wrapped around his cock, the large splay of his palm did nothing to dwarf its size with he jacked himself once, twice, three times to the sight of you. He squeezed the base with hiss, pulling his bottom lip between his teeth after cursing under his bated breath. He was thick, flushed, the tip swollen and leaking, drooling greedily with a rivulet of precum down the underside of his length. He trod a path with his hands down to your breasts, kneading each one between his palms with a pinch before guiding himself back into the mouth of your heat, your cunt swallowing him down to the base. The needy roll of your hips into his showed just how desperate you were. He groaned at the start of the friction between you, and slowly dragged back out of you, moving just as slowly back inside. He repeated this twice, and then he let loose. The motion turned into a needy clash of his hips to yours. Again. Again. Again. Somewhere along the sting of passion and heat, his hand wrapped around your throat, feeling the flex of it as you swallowed under his palm. He bit down into your neck, reaching out from you as his hips slammed erratically. His heavy balls slapping against your ass with each rut forward of his unrelenting. The way he fucked you, was like holding a knife to your throat. It grounded you in the most harrowing way to each of his breaths. His panting in your ear. It swallowed you whole. Mad your legs wrap around his waist and your hips keen up into him.
Your cunt drooled down his shaft, down to the base, down the sensitive skin of his cock. He growled and hissed in your ear, teeth closing around your earlobe, his hand dragging back up and grip tightening around your neck. Getting off on the feeling of your pulse under his thumb.
You felt the knot tighten. And tighten. Right in the pit of your stomach, deep in your sopping wet cunt where the mouth of your cervix met his fucking. The walls of your cunt sucking him back in as the angle of his hips snapped up into the spot that had you seeing entire constellations. They darted to and fro across your vision. It blurred the edge, spots of dark matter, deep black, the colour of oblivion slinging over the back of your eyes that now burned with tears of pleasure. His fingers dug deeper into malleable flesh, gripped tightly at your hip with his free hand, thumb brushing over your hip bone down your mound to toy with your clit after a slap to it. And it was the action that sent you spiralling, babbling his name nonsensically among a string of curse words. So pretty and fucked out beneath him. Joel couldn’t help but stare smugly as your eyes rolled back into your head when your orgasm hit like a freight train. He came undone soon after, his climax hitting a crescendo with a growl bitten into your shoulder, bruising and brandishing you with his mark again.
He pulled back, leaving you to the mercy of the cold. Watching was his hips moved again to fuck his release back into you. Your hole quivered in protest, and you squirmed under him. “Don’t be fucking ungreatful now, Cherub.” You relented, going still and boneless on the mattress. Limbs unfurling from their tension. “That's it. Take it. Take it all.” He groaned smoothly. Just like the roll of his hips. He fucked it slowly back into you. And you took his release inside you to keep. “Good girl, Cherub.” He whispered, kissing your lips in a tender dichotomy. Not letting you rest until he was satisfied you took every drop of him. Afterall, it was all you’d have left of him until he next chose to pick you up. All the while, he trailed his tongue back down to your breasts, pressing the flat of it to your nipple, drawing it with a sharp suck into his mouth. Pressing the blunt of his teeth into your flesh. Letting the taste melt on his tongue. Salty with your sweat. He did the same to the others. When he went soft inside of you, and his hips stilled. He slipped out of you with hitched breath, the pad of his fingertips tracing your abused, used sex. Your legs twitching when he rolled your clit under two fingers. “I said stop squirming.” He grunted, landing another slap to your pussy. It made an obscene wet sound. His come dribbling out slowly.
“Open your mouth.” Joel commanded, and you did. Waiting for whatever he had planned. He licked a hot strip from your asshole to your cunt, pressing his tongue in to drag out some of his release. And he climbed back up to spit it into your mouth. A hand clamping down on your jaw. “Don’t swallow. Close your mouth.” And you did with the side of his thumb clamping it shut for you. “Taste that?” You nodded in response. It was hot, heavy and thick and salty to taste. Divine. “Show me.” You opened again, his creamy spend diluted amongst your saliva and he smirked. Clamping your jaw shut again. “Swallow.”
Joel watched in open mouthed amusement as the delicate column of your throat rippled under muscle contract. “Good girl, Cherub. Remember that taste next time y’feel like leaving again.” He warned in a growl. And you nodded, swallowing your pride. Your fear. Your mania aiding in shoving it down your throat to dissolve in acid. Once again you were in those deep dark woods. The one where the wolf lay. Remnants of you in his teeth. The willow is still weeping, slashed in half. The axe free of his bloodshed by the entrance of his den. The owls' eyes still lit the scene of sin where overhead the starlight was snuffed out by the tangle of branches thick in their black greenery.
You never got your money back. Maybe one day you'd get out of this town. But the devil has a funny habit of making you want your own suffering. Even angels can’t resist a slice of that heaven. Fallen angel. Wounded bitch. Cherub.

To add from my last post. (I'm so sorry it took so long:( I'm trying my best to get it to you guys as soon as possible)
Yandere obey me when MC goes to the past
I'm so sorry it took a while. It got deleted as my cousin was messing around and then it wouldn't save .
Warning! This fic contains: blood, yandere stuff, cannibalism and maybe dead dove no clue! But it has disturbing subjects matters
You have been warned
People say rose tinted glasses make red flags look like just normal flags... And now your wondering how many glasses you owed.
You never really thought about how the brothers habits we're.... Let's say a red flag parade.But now you wish you realized you need to disappear and put Houdini to Shame. At first it was nothing big. A few comments from Mammon. Nothing you couldn't handle.
"Hey! Don't be going out ! I'm your first you should be spending time with me!...be grateful that The great Mammon wants to spend time with ya!"
And
"Your just asking for any lower demon to just take ya! "
Then your stuff keept on going missing. It probably wasn't just that stupid, greedy demon who was doing so but he differently was in first place for it!
Then you noticed your few friends from RAD are gone... Like that really nice succubus you were friends with. She was so nice to you always there to help you with anything. You never saw again after you said you were hanging out with her to the brothers! You were the last person to see her alive. You had to hold her funeral. You could bearly keep it together at said funeral. You never cried so hard.
You still keep a picture of her and your friend group hidden in your room. You know dam well if the brothers find it.... You don't want to think about it..
Now you wish you never made that STUPID pact with him or any of them! You couldn't of even go outside without them trying to drag you back in!
Then you saw Mammon killing one of your few friends left... The way their blood dripping making a horrible wet sound as it hit the floor. The way you could see the blood drip out of his mouth! The way he had a stupid grin on his face! You saw the poor demons insides put on display.... The poor demon was still alive! And they looked so scared... You don't blame them...... The way their life was ended by one loud stomp! And you saw the blood splatter every in a certain distance. You threw up.. Like a large amount of throw up... It didn't help you saw that bastards hand grab something.... You don't want to know what. But you then... You heard a loud chomp. And him sallowing...... You saw the insides dangling out of his mouth.... The blood still dripping.. ...
It's been.... You don't even remember..... Since then...
"I'm sorry but you made me do it. Now you have a ugly scar on your once beautiful face... But I still love you!"
You still have have a scar from trying to escape amso....its not even that noticeable from far way but he won't let you live it down! You hate all of those 7 fuckers!
You tried everything! You even used your pacts.. You managed to get away for 2 weeks and back to the human realm before Lucifer found you... You don't even know how! You dyed your hair,changed your name! you changed everything... But you think the pact is way too strong of that....
You took away to many showers after you got brought back.. You still have nightmares about it but you rather die a horrible death then tell them that..you wish that you stayed dead!
So when you got brought back to the past you were actually happy... Because they don't even remember you!! Meaning no more yandere!! You gladly took that deal and ran with it..
However the brothers didn't take it so well.... You escaped their grasp and this time they have no way getting you back!
Lucifer
He is pissed. Not only did he lose his darling. That shady wizard bitch is getting to be all yours! His anger wasn't obvious at first glance due to his pride. But if you look closely you can see how he is inraged. His coal black wings were puffed out like an upset cat. Last time he was this angry he ended up with Satan. He looking for anything that can get you back. And once you do come back he's never letting you out of his sight again. If your able to walk after you go back it's a miracle. All though the Demonus companies are really thankful. They haven't seen so much profit in the start of its production! But at the same time he feels like a failure of an oldest brother. He isn't there for his baby siblings. He feels like a failure of his family. He's watching his siblings ruin themselves. He needs to be strong for them... But he just can't bare the pain of you no longer there. The pain of knowing dam well that you could be hurting and no one is there to wipe away your tears and to pick you up. Just like how you did with his family
Mammon
Oh boy... Where do I start? He is absolutely devastated! His Human, treasure his everything is gone and probably in danger! And you just want him to except that?! (Yes. Yes we do) if he can do anything he will! If Solomon comes back with a single scratch on your perfect body he is going to regret the day his mother had to give birth to him. Mammon is using EVERY connection he has to see if they can help. Before they knew you were in the past he was the first one out the door looking for you. And we all know he isn't going to make the same mistake again. I hope you enjoyed going to the bathroom alone. Because when you get back you NOT having that again. He also is picking up the slack because of Lucifer. Mammon is the second oldest and he CAN NOT deal with the image of his siblings in pain. He cares for them. So even if gets insulted, hit and hissed at by his brothers he doesn't care as long as they aren't upset as much.
Leviathan
He's not very happy. Is all I can really say? But because of his crippling self worth issues he's saying stuff like "of course they wouldn't want to be around a yucky otaku like me" and similar stuff.. It's a little depressive. But don't be fooled if you think he isn't lashing out at everything. He nearly damaged his figures in a fit of rage once. If that doesn't show how upset he is then what does? He is the general of hell's Navy so one wrong comment from a lower demon and their swimming with Lotan
Satan
Avatar of wrath so you can guess how he is dealing with this.. Not very fucking well. He has destroyed so much of the devildom it's common practice for demons to be jumping over creators just to go to school. His room is worse for wear. It looks like a war happened in there. He is reading every single book he can about this subject so he can get you back faster but every dead end only leads to a ruined building. However most of his wrath also steams from the fact he knows how he was back then. He's worried that he will hurt you. All though he harsh with punishments he isn't very found of the idea of you getting killed by his wrath
Asmo
Asmo isn't recognizable. At all. His hair is greasy from not showering or bathing for long times.. His eyes red and puffy for crying his eyes out, lips cracked from not drinking water. He spends most of his time sleeping. He didn't get how belphi could sleep all the time but now he does. All mirrors are broken in the house. He couldn't stand seeing himself in the mirror. Not only are you gone ( he thinks your scared without them and crying without them to which your definitely not. You celebrated the second you were free) but so is Solomon! And no one other then him is there for you! That Shady sorcerer.. What if you get a scar! What if you don't drink water? (The call is coming from inside the house I swear-) what if a stupid lust demon tries to take you?! Their scent on you definitely is gone by now! He has his good days though! If he realized that you could be back soon he has to look the best! So he washed his hair and everything else, did a face mask his daily routine and put a lot of chap stick on. Just in case you're back at that day! It usually lasts for a week until he gets upset.
Beelzebub
Beel is trying to keep his family together. He's trying his very best. But he just can't always do so. He's the protector of this family. He always has been but he doesn't feel like he should anymore.. After all not only did he failed to protect Lilith. He couldn't even protect you! He I'd having nightmares after nightmares about his failures of not protecting his family to the point belphegor often goes to his beloved twin's dreams to try to put a good dream in his mind. His appetite is all over the place! One day he eats everything like normal then the next day he can't actually eat anything. It worries his other siblings. Another thing is he keeps food for you just in case you're back. He has no clue if your eating correctly! Your way from the people who protect you. Your probably so scared! (Your really not-) so he keeps food he just in case for you. No one is allowed to throw it away though... So when or IF you come back ignore the moldy rotten food. You know during the early lessons while belphi was in the attic? It's like that. Demons are pact animals pretty much and beel is the biggest family man know to man. So he was destroyed and don't get me started how he feels thinking that if he was just there with you, you would be safe and there with them. You know when you called for Beelzebub in the past because of the apples he felt that but not 100% . He felt you call for him to help you. He didn't know if he actually did in the past. He has no clue if you got hurt because HE wasn't there for you. He wasn't there to pick you up and save you
Belphegor
He is PISSED to say the least. Not only did you get out if their grasp there's no guarantee that your coming back let alone safe! The one day they let you lock yourself in your room and didn't join you is the time you were taken away by someone. That is NEVER happing again. Hope you enjoyed having a door because that is coming straight off. His sleep schedule is so off wack. One day he sleeps for 23 hours and only getting up because Beel is making him eat. Beel be dammed if he loses another loved one. But the next 3 days he isn't sleeping. He is only sleeping when beel put sleeping pills in his food. Belphi is now never leaving Beel's side. Not like Beel was letting him leave longer than 30 minutes. Belphi isn't very found of the idea that your in the past for MANY reasons but one main one is because the simple fact. You went to the past where Lilith's death was fresh. His hate for humans were so strong. He already killed you once he doesn't want to lose you again.
While all this is happening your living the life that the brothers ripped away from you. So when your looking for books about Nightbringer and when Mammon freaks out... All you get are flashbacks. You feel the pain of the brothers keeping your away from everything and everyone. The pain of knowing if you left the family alone you wouldn't of been hurting... You wouldn't of had to buried your friends bodies... You wouldn't of had to cry at a locked door begging to be let out. Only for an hour in the human realm... You missed your family... All that comes back and you can't hold it anymore. You sob your eyes out. Your crying on the floor as everyone fights... Because you know if you stay any longer it will happen again.. "To hell to this family! FUCK THIS FAMILY! LET THEM DEAL WITH THEIR OWN SHIT!" Is what your mind is yelling at you as you hold your arm. This family will be the death of you... Not like they will let you die...

The timing and occasion on which MC made the pacts with Lucifer and Belphegor should've been switched and here's why:
SPOILERS FROM LESSON 16 TO 20-14!!
I don't know if anyone has ever posted something similar to this but it's something I've been thinking about it for a while. I've never quite liked the way these two pacts were formed and to me, they were both timed weirdly and overall had little to no weight on the story, which sort of irritates me in a way.
I think our pact with Lucifer should've taken place at the party where MC was celebrated instead of the end of the season, it would've been much more meaningful that way and left way more impact than the disaster of a scene that lesson 20-14 was in my opinion. Because here's the thing:
Lucifer is the Avatar of Pride, one of the most powerful beings in all three realms, someone who's led an entire army through war and was maybe the first of his kind to rebel against its own creator. It's not easy to gain his respect, much less his trust, so for him to put his pride aside and offer a human the power to control his entire being, it's much more than a simple "possessive and horny confession", t's him placing his ultimate trust in someone, it's him showing just how much he's grown to care for you.
Because you deserve it. You were the human who put his dear family back together, who willingly ran head first into danger more than once just for the sake of protecting his brothers, who gave your life trying to help fix what he broke. You were much more than a simple exchange student, you were someone he had slowly come to cherish, who so gradually approached his heart that he didn't even notice you come in and before he knew it, all the irritation and distrust he felt towards you had turned into love and admiration. You were a precious presence in his life that he felt the need to protect but failed to do so.
So Lucifer offering to make a pact with you just shortly after all you had gone through was a way to let you know just how immensely grateful he was for all you had done for him and his family, to show you that you had not only earned his respect and trust but also his love. It was an apology for every time he had put you in harm's way and for not being there for you when you needed him the most. Lucifer offering you a pact it's him letting you know that he will never ever let anyone hurt you again and that he'll always be there for you from now on, it's him saying that you can lean on him as much as you need because you're now part of his family — the one thing he puts above all others and will do anything for.
Lucifer asking to make a pact with you it's him showing you mean the world to him while having no qualms about letting the whole three realms know you were remarkable enough to make the prideful Morning Star let go of his sin and give you all of him.
-
Now, let's talk about Belphegor. As I've seen many point out, the reaction to MC's death after lesson 16 as whole was terrible. There was barely any acknowledgment of what happened, no apology coming from Belphegor, and the weirdest thing of all: MC was not only completely okay with being close to Belphegor but also the only one trying to help him when all the brothers were more than rightfully being awkward around him. So let's just put it this way: the whole situation was beyond bizarre and we all like to pretend it wasn't canon.
But back to the matter at hand: Canonically, MC's pact with Belphegor is formed at Diavolo's birthday party. After he disappears from the main hall where everyone is and MC goes to find him on their own. That itself already seems wrong, I mean, I don't know about you personally but if I had just been murdered by someone a few days/weeks ago, I definitely wouldn't want to leave the side of those I'm safe with to go find that person alone. But Canon!MC is very dumb and we can't do anything about it so our only choice is to follow him.
We are also not given the choice to refuse the pact when it's proposed nor MC has the chance to speak a word about it. Now the way I see this, it's a clear sign that MC doesn't want a pact with him. They are scared and pressured into making a pact with Belphegor because they're not sure what could happen if they refused. Because then again, this is the guy that murdered them not that long ago and laughed at their dead body like he was having the time of his life. And the last time MC refused to make a pact didn't exactly go well either, with Satan shoving them into a bookshelf and threatening the hell out of them.
And if Satan reacted like that, imagine Belphegor. And there was no one around either, Canon!MC had made the stupid decision to go find Belphegor on their own and had no one to protect them at the moment. So they have no choice, they are frozen with fear and are ""forced"" to make a pact with him even though they dread the idea. It's just awful and I hate that scene so much I can't even put it into words.
MC's pact with Belphegor shouldn't have been formed so early. They should've had the time to heal from all the trauma, time to distance themselves from Belphegor, and to process everything they had been through. And then only later they would slowly start to warm up to him again, after they know for a fact he's truly sorry for what he did and deeply regrets it. After they are ready to face him.
And for Belphegor's pact with MC to be formed on their last day in the Devildom, it would've simply been beautiful. Because then Belphegor would've also had the time to learn to appreciate MC, to realize how special they truly were, for what he did to become one of the biggest regrets he's ever carried. Belphegor would've had the time to see right in front of him how you treated those you had a pact with, time to realize that to you, a pact wasn't about gaining power and status, but about forming a deeper connection with someone.
The pacts you shared were proof of your strong bond with his brothers and all the love you had for them. And honestly, it broke his heart to be the only one in the family who didn't have that kind of connection with you. But he wouldn't dare ask for it, he couldn't ask for it. He didn't have the right, not after what he did to you that day. You were nice enough to forgive him, to treat him with kindness when all he deserved was your hate and loathing. He couldn't ask for more, no matter much he wished to.
So when you come around and ask him for a pact on your last night in the Devildom, he couldn't have felt happier. To know that you had come to trust him like that again even after all he did, for you to love him enough to want his pact mark on you for the rest of your life, it felt nothing short of incredible. He wondered what he had done to deserve you, because someone as caring and sweet as you should have no business staying close to someone as rotten as him. But he gladly accepts the pact after you confirm to him that's truly what you want. Belphegor then hugs you as tight as he can, sobbing in your embrace as he is filled with both the happiness of your newly formed pact and the sadness that you have to leave.
MC being the one to ask for a pact with Belphegor shows that they've come to trust him just as much as his brothers. And the pact itself is a sign that they've both come to overcome their past traumas and now feel more than comfortable with each other. It's proof of the strong and unbreakable bond they have.

I'm the Bad Guy
One-Sided: Charlie Morningstar x Overlord! Reader
Summary: What-if you manipulated the entire cast of Hazbin Hotel to your own twisted idea of Hell?
@mygoldtears - Once again I must thank this person for their idea! Truly I'm so grateful for your wonderful mind, and I hope you like this one too!
Trigger Warnings: ANGST, Manipulation, Mind Control, Villainous Behavior, and Emotional Distress
Words Count: 633
Excitedly you dragged Charlie behind you, who you lured in with the promise of a date. As soon as the doors shut behind the two of you, you dropped the smiley sugary front you put on for her.
"Vaggie? What are you doing here? Why are you tied up?" Her naivety irked you beyond belief, "What are we doing here?"
"Are you joking? You don't even realize that you've lost. I've captured you to take Hell for my own, and you don't even realize you've played right into my hand" You laughed a little, understanding that your plan worked better than you ever could have anticipated.
"So you... Don't want to date me?" Charlie looked at you with the saddest eyes you've ever seen. It broke your heart to see.
Just kidding, through manic laughter you managed to get out, "Oh my- That is- You think that I- With you? Oh my- that is too good! I mean it's sad for you, but... Let me put this a way you idiots will understand"
Your powers captured Charlie and her best friend Vaggie in your grasp. They tried to resist, but to put it simply you were just more powerful than them in your own domain. The walls lined with heavenly sigils that negated their powers, and dark magic one that amplified yours. You hummed, and your little smokey minions started the beat.
"I'm not the damsel in distress. I'm not your girlfriend or the frightened princess," You feigned a fainting motion, and green tendrils of smoke caught you and carried you through the air, "I'm not a little bird who needs your help to fly. Nope... I'm the bad guy."
You lowered yourself to the floor and started walking. The once-darkened walls started lighting up as you walked by. Charlie gasped as overlords that were stuck behind powerful dark magic bars were highlighted.
"All these former overlords that you see, each of them, with shaking knees, has knelt before me," You stopped at Alastor's cage and booped his nose with your finger. He growled, but you didn't seem to mind, "So I'm not your teammate or your partner in crime. What am I, guys?"
Their eyes glowed green with your influence and they sang in a chorus, "You're the bad guy"
"Oh, it's magic to watch hope shrivel up and die," Cackling you allowed green smokey apparitions to carry you by your arms, "Oh, it's thrillin', to be a villain. I destroy your hopes and then I watch them cry. 'Cause I'm the bad guy!"
The tendrils lowered Charlie but took control of her movements. You started to dance with her, spun in her arms, and allowed your head to rest on her shoulder, "Oh, ain't it fantastic? I see something, I BLAST it! And let me tell you why. I've always had a weakness for barrenness and bleakness. I crush all your hopes and then I watch you cry"
You wiped a tear from Charlie's cheek and licked it off your finger. She turned her head away and refused to meet your eyes. With a snap, a picture of the Pride Ring slid down from the ceiling. It was bulldozed over and everyone seemed to live in squalor. There was a gigantic monument to yourself, and Lucifer's castle was changed to a black and green color scheme.
"See, I find this business rather fun! I don't want your assistance or your adulation! I'll vaporize the Pride Ring and bid ya bye-bye! Why? Come on, GUESS!," From behind you Charlie saw her father floating in a pool of green smoke, his eyes a constant emerald green.
"'Cause you're the bad guy," He said with an unnaturally low voice.
Everyone laughed demonically, while Charlie and Vaggie could only look at each other in fear.

After story
Tumblr media
Everything ended with a happy end for you and for the man who was now your lover. The truth behind it did not matter. Or is really so?
At the very least, those who lost their master did not seem to think so.
Mammon x f! reader, Solomon x f! reader mentioned
Replaced mc au, angst
Please read the previous part first before reading this.
Tumblr media
“Why are you like this?”
“Like what?”
“Why are you being nice to me? Even my brothers get annoyed at me. But you… you always appear before me whenever I am struggling.”
Mammon let out an unexpected question as he got out from the rope binding him. This time, too, his older brother punished him by tying him upside-down from the ceiling.
“You know… What others say is true. I am an incompetent demon.”
He knew it was unlike him to speak such weak words, but he could not help it.
“Well, yeah. As a demon, maybe you are useless.”
He knew it. You were thinking the same thing as others. You were pretending to help you and laughing at him behind his back for being so naïve.
But his thoughts were proven wrong when you continued.
“Because… demons have to entrap humans and stuff, right? But you have never tried to hurt me, not even once. Ever since I first arrived in this Devildom, you had protected me. I can't guarantee that you are brilliant as a demon because I don’t know what entitle brilliant for a demon. But I can say with confidence that you are the kindest one I have ever met. Know that whatever anyone says, I will be eternally grateful that you reached your hand out to me when I first arrived here, lost and alone.”
Like an angel coming down for salvation, you said the words he wanted to hear most when he needed them most. You truly were the only one who had the patience to strip off his shallow exterior and brighten up his true self.
“Nice, human. That is the only way to treat Great Mammon.”
Ah! What is he saying? Why can’t he be honest with his feelings and thank you?
Without knowing his internal dilemma, you hugged him, as tightly as you could with your fragile human arms. You felt so soft against his body, hair smelling like the fruity scent of your favorite shampoo. This moment brought him so much bliss that he worried it might not be reality.
Wait.
Of course, that was not real. He was dreaming about the day he first realized his feelings for you.
After all, there was no reason you would be in the House of Lamentation. His brothers and he personally drove you out of the place.
Suddenly, the you in front of him broke apart into pieces, and the space wrapped into a different time.
“Mammon, you will trust me, right?”
You looked at him with hope in your tears-stained eyes and begged him, while gripping his sleeves tightly for dear life. Seeing you, one might think that you would be swept along by an unknown force, should you let go of him.
But…
He betrayed your faith.
“I am sorry, y/n. But I also think it would be better you confess quickly,” he said as he removed your hand which was holding onto him.
Just how much he wished to turn back time and correct his mistake. If he had the power of Barbatos, he would use it without caring for how much it would affect the rest of the universe.
But now… everything was all over. You were not here. The room you stayed in no longer held your scent. The relationship you painstakingly built with the brothers had also broken apart. To add salt to the injury, the only connection left between you and them had also been erased. It was a prove that they were yours as much as you were theirs. But it was no longer there, the pact mark which used to cover the back of his hand.
He knew it was all his fault. He was just reaping what he sowed. So, he could not oppose your decision.
After finding out all the supposed truths about the accident as told by Solomon, Lucifer reported the case to Diabolo. And as a punishment, Reira was to be sent back to human realm.
But Satan deduced that there could be someone pulling the strings behind her back. And thus, before she returned, he asked her some questions and, it was confirmed that there was, indeed, someone providing her with the necessary potions and the magic spells needed. But she swore that she did not know who they were, for she had never interacted with them directly. The fact that she did not know might be true because she did not said the name of the mastermind even after facing with Satan’s interrogation.
Lucifer reported that to Diabolo. But the Prince, wanting to sweep it all under the carpet, for the sake of the exchange program, did not pay attention to the already solved case, and instead reprimanded the brothers for doing something outrageous as torturing the human.
So now, they only had themselves to rely on. When he woke up from the sleep, he walked towards the room you stayed in with false hope that you would be back there, smiling gently like you always did, and everything that had happened was just a bad dream that he had. However, he knew that that could never happen. So, he was so surprised when he heard someone speaking from your room.
“Y/n!”
He opened the room urgently, only to find his younger brothers.
“Oh! Mammon, it is just you. Don’t scare us like that For a moment, we thought it was Lucifer,” startled by his appearance, Satan said.
“What are you guys doing here?”
“It’s nice that you are here now. We were just about to go and call you,” Leviathan said.
“We are talking about the one who put together the whole incident. Lord Diabolo said that there was no such person. But we know for a fact that there was someone, and we would like to find them as soon as possible, and make them pay for getting between y/n and us,” Belphegor explained.
Looking worried, Beelzebub asked, “Are you sure about this? We should at least tell Lucifer.”
“Beel, if we told him, he would no doubt stop us. Lucifer would never do a thing that go against Lord Diabolo’s order,” was Asmodeus’s answer.
“I will never do what?”
When they all turned to the sound, the oldest brother was glaring at them.
Seeing his anger, Satan immediately said, “You cannot do a thing that will change our mind. We need to know who was pulling the strings.”
Feeling the tension in the air, Mammon also cut in, saying, “Lucifer, I know you don’t want to go against Lord Diabolo’s wish, but this is an exception. The mastermind, whoever they are, they tried to harm y/n, who is an exchange student. Knowing his identity is also for the sake of the exchange program and RAD.”
However, Lucifer’s reply was one which they did not expected.
“Who cares about RAD. The imbecile tried to harm y/n, knowing that they were our master and got between our relationship. Even a thousand deaths would be a light punishment for them.”
Everyone was surprised by Lucifer’s declaration as they all thought that he would be against it. However, Mammon knew that Lucifer thought of you as his family and that he would do everything to protect his family.
After making sure that all brothers were on the same side, Satan started to speak.
“There are many who could have framed y/n. The demons fractions who discriminate humans, those who oppose the exchange program and hates the peace talk of the three realm, and lastly those who just hates y/n specifically for being close to us.”
“The last party is pretty possible,” Asmodeus said, “A while ago, there were some fans of mine, who tried to assault y/n. Of course, I dealt with them accordingly. But there can still be more. Especially, Lucifer has some avid followers.”
Lucifer replied, “No, that is not possible. I have already put them in their place after they tried to harm her a few months before.”
“Aren’t they going out for revenge?” Belphegor asked.
“ No, that would be impossible. I made sure of it.”
After considering all the possibilities for a long time with the brothers, Satan finally deduced all the most possible answer.
“For someone to be plan this accurately, they need to know both y/n and Reira personally, and our relationship with one another. They also need to excel at spells and potionology, especially those which works best for mankind. So, I am thinking that the mastermind might be the human who profited most from the accident.”
“You can’t mean…,” shocked, Asmodeus cut in. Satan was talking about his master, after all.
“Yeah. I don’t want to say it but I think it’s most possible that it was Solomon. I also think that Diabolo is covering the whole incident up because he knew that Solomon was the mastermind and doesn’t want anything to affect the exchange program again.”
Their little discussion ended with the decision that they will go and warn you about Solomon the next day. They knew that you were likely not to believe their words but they still felt the need to save you from the claws of the wicked sorcerer.
Mammon lied in bed thinking about before. Was it really the best that they tell you this? They weren’t 100 percent sure with their hypnosis, and sometimes, there are things that better left unknown.
For you, the story ended happily ever after with Solomon being your Prince charming who saved you from your misery. Was it really the best choice to destroy your happiness? Weren’t they just trying to mend their ego, which was broken when you nullified the pacts?
And whatever plans Solomon had, they would not have been succeeded if only they trusted you, unconditionally. Solomon was able to slipped in their relationship because there were cracks since the start.
They let you down and let you go when you needed them the most. They forgot the times you even risked you life for their family’s happiness. They forgot how you always fulfilled their whims and antics whenever and wherever they asked. They forgot everything you had ever done. No. They did not value your efforts exactly because they would conceited that you would always be there.
About two days before, he accidentally saw you with Solomon when he was working part-time at hell’s kitchen. You smiled blushfully when Solomon said something with his usual all knowing air. You looked truly happy, a look he hadn’t seen for a long while.
No matter what Solomon did, it was clear that he was cherishing you right now, more than they could ever hope. Did they really need to ruin your current life and hurt you again? This case would not be mentioned again and affect no one if they just kept their mouth shut. What if Solomon planned to do something to you if you realized the truth? Even if you realized the truth, unlike Reira, Diabolo would not let the most influential humans in Devildom before the exchange program was over. So, how would you communicate with Solomon again in the rest of the period? No, it could be worse. If you were betrayed two times in a roll, first by them, who you thought were your family and second by that sorcerer who you thought was the love of your life, how would you get up again? Did they really need to take all the risks, to tell the truth that would advantage no one? More importantly, they, who once discarded her in favor of another. How could they proudly claim as your protector and interfere your life when they destroyed before.
However, he could exactly let you be when you were being tricked by that evil man. What if you were hurt again just because of his wants. He did not know what to do anymore.
Without finding answers, the demon of Greed lied in his solitary, as he thought of the bright days from the past, that were lightened up by your presence.

Ok I know I already sent smth in but I'm so needy and I can't stop thinking about kneeling in front of Lucifer whole he's sitting down, opening my mouth with his thumb to press down on my tongue and tell me to hump his leg and try to get off on it if I'm so desperate. Just drooling, moaning and blushing so hard from embarrassment and trying so hard to get pleasure from rutting against his leg, hands on his knee if he allows me and if I do a good enough job at entertaining him, he throws me on his bed or office desk depending on where we are and fucks me until I can't think anymore-
Lucifer making you beg— I gotta lay down for a minute😵‍💫 this was in my drafts for so long because I just loved looking at it but I’ll stop being greedy. Thank you Oji for feeding me good food😘
gn!reader x Lucifer
Tumblr media
The first born always seems to be busy and you do your best to wait patiently so he can focus, but sometimes you just can’t wait. Today is one of those days.
You’re the only person allowed in his office while he does paper work, a privilege you don’t take for granted and which you’re incredibly grateful for on days that you feel like this. You sit yourself between his legs and run a hand up the back of his calf, looking up at him with an innocent smile even though your intentions are anything but.
Lucifer knows exactly what you want but being the sadist he is, he loves to make you work for it. He’ll reach down to caress your cheek and smirk as you press your face into his hand, he runs his thumb across your bottom lip while he speaks. “What’s wrong my love? Do you need my help with something?”
You whine as you nuzzle into his hand more, wiggling in your spot between his thick thighs. He only chuckles in response, forcing your mouth open with his thumb and pressing on your tongue as you let out a needy moan. “Then show me how bad you want it.”
Never one to disobey an order from him, you do as you’re told and start to rut against his leg, whimpering at the slight friction you receive. You look down in embarrassed but Lucifer grabs your face and forces you to look back up, a wicked grin on his face as he looks down on you.
“Keep your eyes on me darling, you know the rules.” You quicken your pace, desperately trying to fuck yourself on his leg like the slut he wants you to be, moaning and whining his name as you feel your body heat up. Part of you feels ashamed for acting like this but the other part is feeding off of how aroused the demon above you is, a nice sized bulge in his pants and his eyes half lidded as he watches you continue to hump his leg, his hand resting on your cheek and his thumb running across your lips occasionally.
Your cheeks burn from both arousal and embarrassment but the heat between your legs burns hotter, you slip and hand down between your thighs to play with yourself causing Lucifer to scoff at you.
“Is my leg not good enough for anymore?” His tone condescending but the flush on his cheeks tells a different story. You shake your head in disagreement, mind fuzzy from how incredibly horny you are but you manage to form words finally. “Need…more, need you…in me” you moan out.
Lucifer is more than ready to assist you, picking you up and pressing you face down against his desk, all but ripping your bottoms off to look at how soaked your underwear are. He teases you for being so turned on before you slides those off as well, he teases your leaking sex before rubbing his swollen tip against your hole. Whispering in your ear how he’ll make sure you’re completely satisfied before he lets you leave.
The next two hours are spent with you moaning and crying out Lucifer’s name, the massive wood desk creaking beneath you with each harsh thrust he gives, his own grunts and moans echoing off the walls of the office. His hand finds its way to his pact mark on your body, he traces the pattern and growls in your ear. “You’re mine, you know that? You better not go to the others for help like this understand?”
You can only moan in response as you do your best to shake your head yes but his pace is relentless and makes your whole body bounce, your eyes roll back as his tip grazes your sweet spot over and over, drool covering the papers under your face, you’ve had at least three orgasms by now but Lucifer shows no signs of stopping soon. You love your private time in his office.

gn! mc scenting their demons // hcs
Prompt: MC comes home after hanging out with Solomon and their demons notice something off about them.
based on this
.
Lucifer:
He immediately asks you about it once you step foot in his office.
When you tell him about the potion Solomon tested on you, he heaves a sigh of relief— grateful it wasn't anything dangerous.
He looks normal on the outside; he kisses you on your temple (his usual way of saying 'welcome home') and pulls you onto his lap and tells you about his day as he rubs circles onto your hips.
The usual routine. One you've come to look forward to every night.
But inside, he's swelling with pride (more than he usually is anyway).
Your scent is already coating him and he can tell by the end of the night, he'll smell like you— just as much as you smell like him.
He doesn't even have to ask you to scent him (though he does want to one day).
And he can't wait to silently boast about it to his brothers and everyone else.
.
Mammon:
Like Lucifer, he immediately asks you about it once you step foot in his room.
He just grumbles about how Solomon should stop using you as his guinea pig when you explain.
As usual, he drags you by your waist and plops you down next to him on the couch— a sappy rom-com (that will definitely make him cry) is on the screen.
He'd usually talk about another stupid money-making scheme or shyly give you a gift he bought for you earlier.
But he's never been the best at hiding his intentions.
"I guess you need to test out Solomon's potion, huh? So, of course, Your Mammon will help you!"
Please, it's so obvious he wants you to scent him and everything he owns.
And when you do, he's ecstatic.
He's always loved the way you feel against him, but now that it's coupled with the intention of publicly showing everyone that he's yours in a way familiar to demon culture?
He's practically melting.
.
Leviathan:
Unlike his older brothers, he doesn't ask about it immediately. He doesn't want to come off as nosy or overbearing, so he leaves it be.
His head is on your lap as the two of you play Hellcraft, and after a long while of convincing himself that you won't hate him if he does— he asks you why you smell so weird.
When you tell him about the potion, he stays silent for a long time. It's beginning to get concerning.
All of a sudden, he buries his face onto your stomach and wraps his arms around your waist.
He mutters something but you don't quite catch it, so you ask him to repeat it.
His face is so red you can feel the heat from your clothes, but you hear him take a deep breath and practically shout.
"C-Could you scent me!! Please?"
He can hardly believe what he's hearing when you agree.
He's always nervous (in a good way) when he's cuddling with you, but it's amplified by 10000 when he knows that you're scenting him while doing it.
You want to show other demons that he's yours, that you're in a relationship with him— and he couldn't feel giddier.
.
Satan:
He's curious as to why you're scent is so strong but he knows he has time.
He asks you to sit next to him and you feel the comforting weight of his arm around your waist as he asks about your day and he tells you about his.
This is his favorite part of the day so he wants to savor it each time.
When the two of you reach the topic of Solomon's potion, he finds out about the reason behind your strange scent.
He goes still for a moment; before his face flushes and he looks away from you— a familiar sight to you by now.
Once he's able to gather himself so he can form a proper sentence, he asks you the question.
"Would you like to try scenting me?"
He doesn't find it embarrassing in any way. In fact, it's endearing to him.
He's always taken comfort in you being covered by his scent, but it's another type of emotion altogether when it's you doing the scenting.
He's pleasantly surprised when you agree, and he offers to scent you in return.
The rest of the night is spent with him teaching you the most effective ways of scenting another person (all with a blush across his cheeks).
.
Asmodeus:
He flings himself onto you as soon as he sees you. He asks you why your scent is so strong— after covering you in his cherry-sweet kisses and showering you with compliments.
Once you explain, he squeals excitedly.
"Would you like to try scenting me? You'll be able to tell everyone that I'm all yours~"
He drags you to his bed as soon as you agree.
He starts nuzzling into your neck, wrapping his arms around your waist— momentarily forgetting that you were the one who was supposed to be doing the scenting.
He giggles once he realizes; teasingly saying that now you're covered in his scent too.
.
Beelzebub:
Because of his sense of his smell, he notices your scent even before you walk into the kitchen.
He doesn't really question it at first, rationalizing that it was probably a side effect of Solomon's potion.
The two of you are watching a movie together when he asks you about it.
He doesn't react when you explain, so you'll have to be the one to bring up the topic.
He flushes when you suggest you scenting him.
"You want to try and scent me? Okay... I don't know why but that makes me really happy."
He thinks maybe he likes the feeling of telling everyone he belongs to you, even though he's never been one to care about that kind of thing.
.
Belphegor:
All he does is look up from his pillow when you enter the attic room before he goes back to sleep.
You pretty tired from helping out Solomon, plus no one can resist sleeping with the most comfortable cuddle buddy in Devildom.
He pulls you close to him as soon as you lay next to him.
It's only then he asks why your scent is so strong.
When you explain, he doesn't react— but you notice the way he slots himself into your chest.
He wakes up with your scent covering him, his pillow, his everything.
And he can't help but blush and smile to himself thinking about it.

hi! ugh your writing is always so good, i love it sm 😭 if you’re okay with it, could you do another one of the lucifer and mammon sorting out their problems fic? (but maybe this time reversed and it’s mammon helping lucifer, if not that’s fine). thank you <3
let me wrap my teeth around the world
Tumblr media
includes: lucifer & mammon
wc: 1k | rated t | m.list | cross-posted on ao3
a/n: ugh this was so fun to write i love exploring them. this is heavy in terms of guilt and lilith so be forewarned, but i hope you like it!! my inbox is open to chat, req, or leave feedback so come say hi!! (title from hozier's eat your young)
please reblog <33
Tumblr media
SUMMARY:
"Knock knock,” Mammon calls from the hall, and Lucifer knows he’ll enter his room even if he doesn’t answer. It doesn’t take Mammon long to find him out on the balcony, quiet and contemplative.
“Whatcha up to?” Mammon asks, leaning against the railing and looking at Lucifer. “Everyone’s wondering where you went.”
Lucifer leans back in his chair. “Just thinking.”
Mammon tilts his head in a way that makes his hair fall into his eyes. Instead of brushing it aside like a normal person, he tries, futilely, for several moments, to blow it away. “About what?” he asks finally. “’Cause you look kinda sad.”
Lucifer’s reminded, then, of just how intuitive his normally blockheaded brother could be. “About Lilith,” he answers honestly, and Mammon sucks in a breath.
Tumblr media
Swirling the Demonus in his cup, Lucifer looks over the city, bustling and loud, so different from the newly formed and underdeveloped fledgling that it had been when he’d fallen. It had changed so much.
He had changed so much.
The door connecting his balcony and his room is partly open, as is the door from his room to the hallway, so he can hear his brothers squabbling playfully your melodious laugh mixing and echoing with his brothers’.
And it’s wonderful that they can have moments like that. It’s, well, honestly, not something he’d ever expected. Everyone had been so sullen and quiet and angry after they’d fallen, grief from losing Lilith still painfully fresh, and without a common enemy they’d begun to turn on themselves, dynamic not at all helped by the formation of Satan.
And since Satan had all of his anger, Lucifer had just been… tired. And overwhelmingly, achingly sad. For Lilith, of course, but also for the rest of his brothers. If only he had done things differently, handled it all better, been more powerful…
It was no use thinking of ‘what ifs’. Besides, hadn’t he just been thinking how nice everything was? How grateful he was to hear them laughing and joking and teasing? He shouldn't still get caught up in the past.
“Knock knock,” Mammon calls from the hall, and Lucifer knows he’ll enter his room even if he doesn’t answer. It doesn’t take Mammon long to find him out on the balcony, quiet and contemplative.
“Whatcha up to?” Mammon asks, leaning against the railing and looking at Lucifer. “Everyone’s wondering where you went.”
Lucifer leans back in his chair. “Just thinking.”
Mammon tilts his head in a way that makes his hair fall into his eyes. Instead of brushing it aside like a normal person, he tries, futilely, for several moments, to blow it away. “About what?” he asks finally. “’Cause you look kinda sad.”
Lucifer’s reminded, then, of just how intuitive his normally blockheaded brother could be. “About Lilith,” he answers honestly, and Mammon sucks in a breath.
“Jeez, that’s pretty heavy,” he says. “But what about her?”
Lucifer takes a deep pull from his drink, wishing it was more potent. To be honest, though, maybe it was good that it wasn’t because he might be a little drunk already. The other alternative is that he’s losing it from all of the stress he’s constantly under.
“The whole situation. What I could have done differently, how I failed you all. So yes,” he adds with a wry chuckle, “pretty heavy stuff.”
Mammon blinks like he’s having trouble comprehending Lucifer’s words. “Failed us?”
Lucifer waves his hand absently. “You know, how I should have handled the situation better, not let her die, told Micheal to shove it when I had the chance. That sort of thing.”
Mammon is silent for a long moment, then begins to speak, tone strangely earnest. “But you couldn’t have done anything different, Lucifer. That’s the thing. You did the best that you could, choosing family over everything else, and then continued to sacrifice yourself when we got down here. You did so much, do so much, and we all see and appreciate it, even if we’re not really the best at showing it. Nobody blames you for what happened.”
“It sure seems like you did,” he says bleakly, unwilling to meet Mammon’s eyes.
Mammon wrings his hands, a sure sign of his discomfort, but pushes on. “Lucifer, we were hurt! And that’s not an excuse, but it is an explanation. We were hurting, and confused because our whole world was turned upside down, and there you were, pushing on as if it never happened. Now, it’s very clear to me that you were just putting on a brave face, trying to be a good older brother at the expense of your own well-being, but at the time it just seemed like you got over it. Like you didn’t really care. And it also seemed like our words never got to you, which made it easy to ignore the implications of what we were saying and doing.” Mammon’s cheeks are flushed. “Honestly, if anyone did something wrong here, it was me. I was old enough to know better, and yet I just did the easiest thing with no regard for how I was hurting other people.”
“Like you said,” Lucifer says with a shrug, “you were hurting.”
“But that doesn’t make it okay!” Mammon bursts out. “Especially not when I can still see it has an effect on you centuries later! So let me tell you clearly: you are not at fault for anything regarding Lilith. You did your best and protected this family and worked your ass off to get us where we are today. You did everything you could.”
Lucifer hadn't realized how heavy and ever-present the guilt was until it was absolved, making him able to breathe with ease for the first time in he didn’t even know how long. Finding himself blinking back tears, he swallows hard.
“Thank you,” he says. “I really appreciate you saying that.”
Mammon claps him on the shoulder awkwardly. God, neither of them are good at this sort of thing.
“Is there anything else you want to get off your chest now that we’re in the mood?” Mammon asks, and Lucifer laughs wetly.
“No, I think that was all of it. You?”
“Nah, you know me. Always good, always issue-free.”
Lucifer lets the lie, grossly blatant as it is, pass. They’ve had enough sharing for one day.
“Do you want to come back in the house now?” Mammon asks, nodding towards the door. “They’re probably all missing us dreadfully.” That sounds like a lie, given that Lucifer can still hear them laughing and talking like Mammon had ever left, but the thought still counts.
“I’m going to stay out here for a little while longer,” Lucifer replies after a moment.
“Do you want me to stay out here with you?”
Lucifer looks up, into Mammon’s warm gaze. “If you’d like, you can. I could really use another drink and I think I have another cup on my dresser.”
