Hello demon my old friend.... I came to talk to you again... 

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Amusingly, I want Maze&Dan’s adventures of ruling Hell

well, occasionally, one can ask...and ye shall receive - a continuation of part B of this fic

For Dan, being in Hell...isn’t actually that bad. Sure, the demons are a bit freaky, but he’d gotten used to Maze long ago. The ash is annoying, if only because it gets everywhere and makes him look like his father, all grey hair and stern eyes until he brushes it out. The Rooms are tailored to each person on automatic, so he isn’t really needed unless there’s a glitch in the system, or if he wants to dole out punishment himself. 

He had lived through watching Chloe die seven times when Lucifer had stepped in and rescued him. Dan had never been so grateful to someone in his entire life. When Lucifer asked him if he’d like to serve as his Lefthand, well, it was a no-brainer. 

There’s something about serving in Hell that really, terrifyingly, appeals to him. He’d been concerned about it until he had spoken of his fears to Lucifer, who had laughed. 

“Of course you enjoy it, Daniel,” Lucifer says, amused. “It’s that innate sense of justice within you that lead you to become a police officer when you lived. The desire to see punishment enacted.” The King of Hell leans his head back against the dark upholstery of his throne. “For you, in particular, I imagine.”

Dan wants to be offended at that, but can’t really muster up the effort. Things are more honest in Hell, falsehood gets scoured away under the blistering heat, revealing the truth underneath. It’s what drove him to shoot Malcolm at Palmetto, to entrap Perry Smith into death by angry Russians. It was something within him, neither good nor bad. It just is. 

Dan nods instead, satisfied. 

Lucifer outfits him in armor that gleams, dark and dangerous, imprinted with gold borders and marked with the Royal Emblem. Demons take note of Dan, whisper about him. Maze teaches him knives first, but he’s not particularly good with them, beyond finding them useful for silent kills in the dead of night. But when he picks up a sword for the first time, something clicks. It hangs off his side where his gun once was holstered. His hand rests on it easily. 

He learns what it means to be a Lefthand. Maze is Lucifer's Righthand, bold, blunt. She’s power condensed in a terrifyingly beautiful wrapper. There is no deceit in her. She is straightforward in her service, certain in her purpose. 

Dan is different. He doesn’t know if it’s because he started out human, or if it’s just something about him in particular. It’s remarkably like police work. He gathers information, cultivates CI’s, lower caste demons and imps that keep their ears out for anything that he might pay them for. He goes undercover a time or two, discovering plots and dissents and ending them before they ever become an issue. 

It’s everything he loved about being a cop, doing the right thing, charged with a duty to protect, and none of the things he hated. There is no paperwork, no red tape for him, no action deemed unconscionable. He sees a problem and he takes care of it. He is Lucifer's Lefthand, and answers only to the King himself. 

But then Lucifer leaves for Heaven and names Maze and himself as Regent. 

Dan isn’t comfortable sitting on the Throne. It very much feels like Lucifer's chair. He’s spent too many centuries standing just to the left of it to try and break that habit now.  Maze has no problem draping herself across the plush chair, and really, that arrangement seems to suit them best.
