two doofs for @meandsatan​!! I love u so much my canadian beauty and u deserve so mUCH UR ALWAYS KILLING IT AND ME AND ILUSM

pairing: natan word count: 2247 summary: the coast was the beginning of the end, but natalie wants it to be the beginning of… well, the beginning.  notes: for day 5 of @natanweek, coast. suggestive themes.

(n.) the deep, distant stretch of the ocean that is still visible from the land; the foreseeable future.

Lucifer hates even the mention of it. The good memories attached to the coast do an abysmal job of overshadowing the bad ones. He can’t think of her dripping wet and pouting, of her spiteful determination to scale the cliffside, of her calling him her guardian angel, without recalling everything that followed.

And though she is alive and whole, those memories are the ones that haunt him.

We’re baaaaaaack! Last year was a little crazy for the both of us, but we’re super excited to bring Natan Week back for 2019! Last time we had a ton of fun, and it seemed like you all did, too, so we can’t wait to recreate all that energy and creativity this time around. This fandom may be small but we’ve seen your talent and we want to celebrate that again.

This year, Natan Week is going to be held August 4-11, and the prompts we’ve chosen all fit under the theme of Memories, in honor of all the laughs and tears the Memory Arc has brought (and will undoubtedly continue to bring) us. It’s a little different than last time, with all the prompts being points throughout their history where they’ve made important memories. 

Here are the prompts!

Aug. 4: Hospital

Aug. 5: Bar

Aug. 6: Bridge

Aug. 7: Warehouse

Aug. 8: Coast

Aug. 9: Motel

Aug. 10: Hell

We’ve also included a bonus day:

Aug. 11: Home

We left them a little open to interpretation since we don’t want you all to feel like you’re confined to canon or the timeline or even the literal location. We can’t wait to see what you all do with them!

Make sure you tag us in all of your posts @natanweek and leave #natanweek2019 in the first five tags so we’ll be able to find them all!

If you’re afraid of forgetting, don’t worry! All of this can be found in our About section.

7. routine kisses where the other person presents their cheek/forehead for the hello/goodbye kiss without even looking up from what they’re doing

After months of occupying the same space, it’s become second nature to work around each other. They don’t have to look up to know what the other is doing, or where they’re going, or even what they’re going to say.

It’s as easy as breathing, to step around each other, for Natalie to lift the legs dangling off her mattress when he walks past, for Lucifer to shift in his favorite spot so she doesn’t send herself flying.

For Natalie, it’s even easier to settle into this new pattern, kissing his cheek or the top of his head before she leaves for school. It’s always been fun to watch him turn red, but she bites her tongue for once and smiles to herself as she leaves.

For Lucifer, it’s difficult. He’s not used to the constant affection and he’s especially put off by how quickly he begins to expect it from her, subtly angling his head for her without even tearing his eyes away from his book. It’s only with the lingering touch of her lips on his skin that he ever realizes what he’s done and stews over it for much too long after she’s gone.

He’s aware of it now. The next morning she tries it, and he swivels around, her mouth brushing his as he grabs her chin in one of his hands, squishing her cheeks. He doesn’t pull back any as he stares at her with narrowed eyes, and she smiles at him as much as she’s able.

“I know what you’re doing,” he says, and squeezes her cheeks a little more roughly than necessary before releasing her. “You can’t domesticate the devil, kid.”

He turns his eyes back to his book, but Natalie doesn’t move away from him. Instead, she straightens.

“Bye, Lucifer,” she says cheerfully, and it’s more than just a reflex, he realizes bitterly a split second too late as he angles his head for her and she plants a wet kiss on his cheek, laughing on her way out the door. “Looks like I already have!”

19. kisses meant to distract the other person from whatever they were intently doing

The first sign that something is terribly wrong is Natalie in the kitchen. Lucifer tries his hardest to remember if there’s a date he’s missing, a school project she’s talked about, anything that could explain this soon-to-be disaster, but nothing comes to mind.

She looks like she’s concentrating, a furrow between her brows and her tongue poking out of the side of her mouth, and he decides that her taking this any degree of seriously is infinitely worse than her messing around for shits and giggles.

He needs to get her out of the kitchen, and now, before she sets something on fire.

“What are you doing?” he asks, coming up behind her. She doesn’t so much as look up at him, staring intently at the cookbook before her.

“Cooking. Which spoon is T-S-P?”

Lucifer represses a long suffering sigh.

“Why are you cooking?”

“Because dad’s going out of town for a conference and I’m sick of takeout.”

You’ll be sick of something else if you eat your cooking, Lucifer thinks, but he doesn’t say that. This is a delicate situation. It’s like defusing a bomb.

He grips her hips and pulls her against his chest. She gasps, looking up at him in annoyance.

“C’mon, dude, I’m trying to make dinner.”

“I can think of a more enjoyable dinner than whatever that’s going to be,” he says, and kisses her neck to drive his point home. He nibbles at her pulse and feels her go red, feels her start to relax against him, and thinks he’s won.

He smirks, kissing across her jaw and towards her lips, when she pushes him away.

“Sex isn’t a real meal, Lucifer,” she chides. “I’m hungry.”

She doesn’t see his jaw drop.

Natalie as Helen

Lucifer as her husband, Menelaüs

Also spartan king

Jericho as creepy kidnapper, Paris

Both have names of cities u see it’s perfect

Alex as Tyndareus, Natalie’s protective and concerned father who makes all her suitors swear an oath that they’ll fight for her should she ever be stolen from her husband

Kristi as Cassandra, the prophet everyone thinks is crazy and no one believes despite the accuracy of her visions, just bc it’d be hilarious

Ipos as Agamemnon probably, Lucifer’s best bro. Alternative: Michael

slight change to the narrative bc I️m not fond of agamemnon!Ipos/Michael sacrificing their daughter or getting axe murdered by a vengeful wife

i’m torn between Pax and Felix as Achilles - Pax fits the warrior bill but Felix fits the petty

maybe Zoe as Achilles who goes berserk and kills Titus (Hector, Paris/Jericho’s bro/leader of army) when he kills her lover, Chamuel

bc female warriors why the fuck not

anyways

Natalie fighting off Jericho’s creepy advances for 12-15 years

10 of those are spent knowing Lucifer is right outside the city’s walls

But she can’t GET TO HIM

Ensue angst with an indescribable sense of loss

Pining

Self loathing on Lucifer’s part

For not being able to protect her

For not being able to save her

For all that he is the king of the mighty Spartans he can’t get past a fucking WALL

Even with all of Greece at his back

JusT

She’s gonna be Natalie’s handmaiden who becomes a close friend

It’s gonna be chelle

Chelle as Ipos and Sheila’s daughter
