Your Failed Guardian ( LUKE X PLATONIC!GN!READER )

???: *knocks on the door*

Mammon: *lying in bed* Come in?

Mc: Mammon, *peeking out* can I sleep in your room tonight?

Mammon: *sitting up*

Mc: *embarrassed* If you don't mind, I can sleep on the couch and-

Mammon: No, no, no, you can… you can sleep here, of course, and… *blushing* there’s plenty of room for both of us in the bed.

Mc: *timidly approaching the bed, without looking at the demon*

Mammon: *making room for them*

Mc: Thanks…

Mammon: You’re welcome *not knowing what to do*

Silence

Mammon: Are you okay?

Mc: *shaking their head, holding back tears*

Mammon: !!! *sitting up suddenly*

Mc: I thought I’d be okay, that I’d gotten used to it, but it’s still… terrifying.

Mammon: *not daring to touch them*

Mc: I thought I could hold my own, live a life similar to the one I used to have, but… this is hell, and the demons… they’re still terrifying.

Mammon: !!

Mc: *curling up into a ball, hugging their knees*

Mammon: I’m sorry I put you in that situation *hugging them*

Mc: It’s not your fault, Mammon *wiping away tears*, I got myself into that situation.

Mammon: It is, I’m in charge of you, and besides, I’m a demon too.

Mc: But I was the one who asked you for help, and it worked *trying to smile*

Mammon: Well, yes, but it wasn’t smart… Considering the circles I move in… sometimes I forget that you’re human.

Mc: Sometimes I forget it too, so I let my guard down.

Mammon: …

Silence

Mc: And I think I keep letting my guard down because… I needed to feel safe, protected…

Mammon: ?

Mc: And the only thing I could think of was to come with you, *looking at him* a demon.

Mammon: *hugging the human tighter*

Mc: *tears threatening to well up again*

Mammon: You’re safe here, Mc *hiding them in his arms*, I won’t let you feel this way again… I won’t let you go through something like this again.

Mc: *clinging to the demon*

Nothing else was said, they remained embraced until the human’s breathing slowed and they fell asleep. This left the demon with a new, completely unfamiliar feeling, but with the certainty that he would keep his word, no matter what the cost.

I imagine that Satan's voice in Lucifer started out as really really quiet but over time got louder and more distinct. I also think that Lucifer's way of thinking slowly changed. He'd think in the first person and it slowly changed to third person as Satan grew more

Ex: *My* sandwich is still in the fridge -> Our sandwich is still in the fridge -> Your sandwich is still in the fridge

Transitioning from Lucifer speaking about just himself because he's the only one who exists, to talking about him and Satan collectively with "we" and "us" and "our", to Satan being able to speak for himself and to Lucifer in and out of his head. Sometimes Lucifer would slip up and say things stuff like "We are going to bed" only for people to be confused af

There'd be little moments where Lucifer would black out now and then because Satan got control. Usually in fits of anger. Lucifer would feel ashamed for whatever Satan made him do and could never remember exactly what happened and everyone would think it was just from stress or some one time thing until it started happening more often leading up to what happened to Lilith.

Yeah, Satan's voice would be violent and angry, but there were times when it was affectionate and genuinely helpful. It'd encourage Lucifer to speak out if he was overworked or to snap at people when Lucifer wouldn't say what he really felt to keep the peace.

Lucifer's pride and need to set an example for everyone because he's an archangel would prevent him from ever admitting that he needed help. That he was absolutely miserable from the pressure of it.

A great example of this would be Lucifer's wings. It's canon that wings are a status symbol in the Celestial Realm and Lucifer having 12 is a huuuge honor. They'd make Lucifer flaunt his wings around at all times to show off that he had them. That hes special and powerful and Father's favorite. There's been a few times where Mammon had mentioned that Lucifer was miserable from it. How his wings were too heavy. That they'd drag on the ground when he walked. If they got caught on stuff they'd pull and ache. Other angels most likely would grab them and pet them whenever they felt like it with no regard as to whether or not Lucifer wanted them to. Lucifer's wings were so loved angels would literally pay for some of his feathers. In the og game there's a text chat where it talks about a scam Mammon ran where he found some white feathers and lied to people that they were Lucifer's and sold them for a ton of money. (Which debunks the theory that the brothers developed their sins after they fell, btw. They were always sinful it's just since they fell they could let loose and indulge. All of them use their sin as a coping mechanism. Mammon was always greedy.)

I think Satan would know. Satan would feel how much Lucifer secretly resented having the damned things. How exhausting taking care of them is. How violating it is having people act like they're entitled to put their grubby little hands on you whenever they feel like it. Especially since it was his body too, once. I could totally see a scenario where Satan goes apeshit on an angel out of the blue while in Lucifer's body. He'd snap at a lower ranking angel after they pet their his wings and Satan exploded at them, only for Lucifer to regain control and be deeply embarassed of the outburst. Lucifer wouldn't realize yet that it wasn't technically him, and even if he did nobody would've believed him.

It's probably the whole reason Lucifer tore them off in the first place. That and it represents the way he felt trapped in the Celestial Realm and him cutting off his wings was him literally cutting out that part of his life. Maybe Satan was given his own body because Lucifer didn't need him in his head to stick up for him like that anymore. Satan did his job.

I think Satan kinda resents Lucifer for not leaving sooner. For not asserting himself and telling all of them to fuck off long before they killed Lilith. I'm not going to get into it in this post but it's been made very clear all of the other brothers were mistreated and outcast in the Celestial Realm before they fell and before they killed Lilith. It's probably the whole reason she was willing to die for a human. Because she didn't see her life in the Celestial Realm as one worth living.

I think this is one of the reasons Satan hates Lucifer Because he never stuck up for himself and his loved ones until it was too late. Satan was an unwilling participant and had no say in the matter whenever Lucifer said or did something he disagreed with. Especially since if he had done it sooner then Satan would've gotten to be his own person sooner.

I'm just now remembering that one lesson in the og obey me where Lucifer and Satan get body swapped and holy shit, can you imagine how upsetting that was for Satan? Not only becoming the person you hate most but also going back to being trapped in your old body that was never really yours. I think Satan associates that with being helpless and not in control. Probably why Satan was planning on messing up Lucifer's big speech. It was an act of spite for all the times he and Lucifer were still stuck together and Lucifer did something that Satan didn't want in their shared body. It's like being a conjoined twin but your sibling is the only one who can move your shared body and talk. Now that the body is his and only his he can finally make up for it. Now Lucifer knows what it's like to be the "leftovers" and how horrific it is to have someone else decide and do everything for you without your input. Lucifer has to take the backseat while Satan calls the shots for once. It's why he is contradicts everything Lucifer does, it's because he can finally say NO

Anyway, the whole reason I made this post is because I think Lucifer sometimes misses having Satan's voice in his head. Like his mind feels weirdly lonely and quiet sometimes. He misses having another person to talk to at all times to confide in, and now it's just weird bring separated. I think whenever Lucifer gets drunk, he regularly calls Satan and cries. And it's not weird or shameful because everything Lucifer is crying about is stuff Satan already knew about. Stuff not even Mammon knows about. Worries about not being good enough, if he did the right thing, if he could've done more. Despite Satan claiming he hates him, Satan spends the entire time reassuring and comforting him. Lucifer makes a huge habit of calling Satan almost every day once RAD ends and everyone moves into their own homes. Lucifer lies and says he calls all of his brothers just as often as he calls Satan, but it's not true. He just wants to hear Satan talk.

You pass by a small crowd of hungry children, and decide you’d rather 455 apples go rotten than give them to some snotty brat who isn’t your problem.

It doesn’t matter how hard you’ve worked for your 500 apples, or that you aren’t the parent of any of those kids. in the moment you decide to walk away, it doesn’t matter why they’re hungry, or who owes who what.

You had the opportunity to help people, you had the ability to help people, you had the resources to help people. You had everything you needed to make a small, tiny little difference in someone’s life, and you decided not to.

a/n: I love Belphie now but I am a strong believer that everyone got over chapter 16 WAY too fast in the game...so what happens when a newly comfortable sheep mc faces the chapter 16 events?

MC who has been a sheep since entering the Devildom. Nobody can be sure the parameters of this...condition? Since arriving nothing has changed so far, you're consistently a sheep.

But soon things do change.

By now you've gotten a bit more used to your life in the Devildom, if anyone really can get used to such an obscure place for a human. And it soon becomes apparent that for some reason, the sheep form your body has taken on, is not entirely a condition of the Devildom.

Every now and then, while fast asleep and peacefully dreaming, your body returns to it's human state. Your limbs stretch back to their original length, wool turning to hair on your head and round little sheep torso lengthening into a human body.

But of course, nobody notices at first. Not even you sleeping peaceful in your bed and back to a sheep when you wake. It's not until Mammon decides to take an impromptu visit to your room late into the night, complaining about something, probably loosing money, and ends up spending the night. Not the first time.

It is however the first time that upon waking, you still being fast asleep, instead of the usual small sheep fluff next to his head and under his hand, there's a human body beside him.

There's hair laying across the pillow in front of him and his hand is now placed on a very human hip.

He can't help but unceremoniously scream in horror-movie-watching Mammon fashion, quickly startling you from your slumber.

The moment your eyes snap open, you're a sheep again, mind disoriented and groggy as you try to figure out why Mammon has screamed at such a late hour of the night, waking you up from a blissful dream.

"Yer- you...HUH?!? Human you- what? Yer body it- HUH I SWEAR-"

Well mammon certainly seems to be losing it, but it only takes a few more instances of this happening to Mammon and other brothers, (namely when you fell asleep gaming with Levi, who shrieked at your naked human form before passing out) before it was clear nobody was hallucinating.

You seem to...revert to your human form when sleeping? But....why?

That's where Solomon comes in. After some careful watching and testing and...well estimation... (i mean he's seen a lot in his time, you have to give him some credit👴) he concludes it's a sign of comfort, of security. Your sheep form is like a default version of a defense mechanism, a strange way you've reacted to the Devildom, the constant tension, pressure, always on edge.

But, when you feel at ease, in a true whole way, your body goes back to human again.

Of course, this information puts a warm feeling into many of their hearts. You're comfortable sleeping beside them!?! They're honored. And upon hearing this, Diavolo is absolutely giddy, taking it as a sign of promise and hope in his plan for the realms.

He really won't shut up about it to Barbatos, admitting to wanting to witness it himself, which Barbatos must remind him would not likely be a proper way for a prince to behave.

Mammon spends more time than ever before with you, and even Satan has come around by now, covering your sheep form gently in a blanket before reading to you, so that when you drift off and your body transforms, he can study the real you, looking carefully at the human face near him, the curve of your shoulder under the blanket.

Asmo has of course taken sneaky photos of your sleepy peaceful human face, but he never posts them. These are just for his eyes. Sometimes he'll gush about your appearance to Beel (the more patient of the brothers) or Solomon, saying how he wished he could see how pretty your eyes would be in that form, your facial expressions when awake.

Simeon hears about this from Solomon (likely as an extension of Asmo) and although curious he's careful not to push any careful boundaries. He is however intrigued, and thinks often about how your peaceful sleeping human face would look, how the bright smiles and expressions you make would look all the more beautiful in your natural form. He may or may not be already basing a character in one of his stories off you now, whether he's seen your human form yet or not.

Even Lucifer sometimes when taking a break from his work for coffee, goes over to your room in the latest hours of the night, just peeking in. (obviously to ensure the exchange student hasn't died and that they're not causing trouble. No other reason...) But he lingers a moment, studying the face rarely seen, the real you. He's not likely to tell you or admit to any of his brothers, but you're breathtaking.

You've really grown on them all.

Things are really looking up. You're comfortable, clearly, and everyone seems to get along more often just because of the higher spirits in the house.

But, of course life in the Devildom can't be so simple and harmonious. After some late searching you've discovered a human in the attic. One who wants to be set free. And he sure has a lot to say.

a/n: sorry to break this up but we'll get into the real ideas ab chapter 16 in part 1!

Some headcanon about the brothers interactions and relationship.

Mammon: Yes?

Demon: Don't you think that one of the casinos with the most demon traffic in all of Hell isn't really an appropriate place for a human?

Mc: *practically on top of Mammon, intently watching the game*

Mammon: Nah, Mc knows what they're doing, plus, they're my lucky charm.

Mc: *pinching Mammon’s cheeks* Bet it all on black 7.

Mammon: All on black 7!!!!

Demon: ?!!

Black 7 comes up

Mammon: *proudly* See?

Mc: *grabbing all the tokens, practically throwing themselves onto the table*

Demon: So the rumors that if you’re separated you two die are true…

Mammon and Mc: ?
