2.09 Where’ve You Been Anyway

The light had long since been extinguished from the sky, and after a long nightly routine of bidding each brother goodnight, you were tucked cozy into your bed. You were in and out of dozing when you heard the familiar ping of your D.D.D. Sleep eluded you as you sat up to see just who had messaged you– probably Leviathan, he really is the only one that would still be awake at this hour. Much to your surprise it was Lucifer. It pinged again as you swiped open to view the messages.

MC, I have a favor to ask of you. If you are still awake, please head to my room right away.

Naturally, Lucifer’s tone was forthright, you’d never known him to be anything but, however there was a certain… desperation to his message. Tossing the blankets back and padding quietly (but very quickly) to Lucifer’s room didn’t require a second thought, much less a first. Whatever was wrong, he had asked for you specifically and you would be damned if you didn’t do your best to fix whatever was troubling the oldest born.

You knocked quietly on the door, peeping in when you heard Lucifer’s quiet confirmation to enter. At first you didn’t see him, the office-like room seemingly empty. It wasn’t until you caught a shuffle in your peripheral by his bed that you realized that the man was sat in the corner of his room shrouded by the shadows.

“Luci, dearest, what’s going on?”

You were met with silence before you saw his figure rise, stepping forward into the light of the moon that poured from the window. White. It was the first thing you noticed. His coat, his shoes, his wings. All six of them. Your hands flew to your mouth, covering the gasp even before it fell from your lips. He was blinding– angelic.

“Oh my. Um, wow? How did this,” you gestured mildly to his now angelic form, “happen?”

The man before you dragged a hand down his face, sighing deeply. “I received a package. It’s over on the desk.”

Following his line of sight you found the box sitting there, a large golden tassel sitting inside looking as if it had been haphazardly discarded there. Lucifer must have tossed it back in at some point. You reached gingerly towards it before you felt a firm hand grip yours. “Don’t. There’s no telling what effect it might have on you.”

You tilted your head to see him, hand sliding up to slip your fingers through his. “It did this to you?”

Another solemn sigh slipped from his lips. “Unfortunately. I would rather my pesky brothers not see me like this. I will need you to assist me in undoing whatever curse seems to have been placed on me.”

“Of course. Do you have any idea what we might need to undo this?”

Lucifer stepped from behind you to take his place next to you. With one hand still tenderly linked with yours he picked the tassel up to inspect it. As he did you noticed the way the golden material caught the moonlight. As it shifted in his grasp the golden flecks of light that bounced off of it seemed to grow in intensity until it filled your vision entirely. You blinked harshly, trying to regain your surroundings but every time you opened them again all you saw was gold. Lucifer’s hand moved from yours to hold you tighter to him, the warmth of his steadfast body matching the ethereal glow that had swallowed you whole.

It was impossible to tell just how long it had been before the light finally subsided and you were able to take in your surroundings once more. You were no longer in Lucifer’s room, instead you seemed to be in a scene out of a storybook. Before you laid a meadow filled with flowers and in the distance sat a castle that was almost comically beautiful in its grandness. Everything was beautiful, far too beautiful. The grass was too green. The flowers were too red with a scent that made you nauseous with how sweet it was. The air around you had light beaming in beautifully perfect circles like a photo ripped straight from Asmo’s Devilgram. Hell, there was even a rainbow whose placement looked staged from its position in the sky encircling the castle. The whole place burned your eyes in its oversaturated perfection. It felt very much like you shouldn’t be seeing what was before you. You realized it even before Lucifer spoke that the two of you had somehow been transported into the Celestial Realm. Nowhere else could be so empyrean.

“How–” You were interrupted as an explosion sounded in the distance. It broke the perfectly crafted stillness of the scenery around you. Lucifer’s hand at your waist dug at the flesh there in a way you doubt was intentional, but stung nonetheless. “Ow!”

In an instant his hand was gone, moving back only to gently rub the area. Though he didn’t say it, you knew he was apologetic. “MC…” A fire erupted in a distance closer to you.

“Lucifer what’s going on?”

When he spoke his voice was strained– if you didn’t know better you’d say he sounded scared. “It appears we have been transported to my past.”

“Your past? You mean– Lucifer, are you saying– is this the war?” An explosion burst, falmes licking the sky.

“The Great Celestial War, yes.” Another fire, screaming.

“What– um, what do we do?” It was getting louder, hotter.

Lucifer swallowed audibly. “I have a suspicion where we need to go.” They were moving in closer still.

Plan out a chunk of the story before anything

Make a note to yourself for what you want each screenshot to convey

Keep tabs on how different characters type

Showing character profiles before the story starts is a fun way to get people acquainted w/ your characters before the story begins

Use real social media as reference

Use other SMAU as reference

Adding a masterlist is helpful for both the reader + you

Tumblr can only fit 10 images at a time, if you want to post more than that in one go use a side-by-side collage maker like Kapwing

The most important thing is that you are having fun ♡
