So building on the idea that IK has identical demon patterns to Lucifer, what if she also had his forehead diamond? And it's usually covered by her fringe + maybe it's fainter than the arm patterns in her natural state - Rumi has demon patterns on her face that only appear during the finale

So then. Lucifer finding out that IK is his daughter at the AU equivalent of the award show. Luke is lured away just before they go on stage, a demon in disguise replaces him and exposes her demon markings during the show, and then her hair gets all messed up or something and the forehead diamond is revealed. Biggest "oh fuck" moment in the world. Maybe he was suspecting it before but it only hits him now and they're already on like stage 5 of their destroy-humanity plan.

Also, unrelated but since they're always divorced in every universe: What if non-hunter Solomon being affiliated with the angels is because he's been rehabilitated after being "seduced" by a demon. Which is also why he's more accepting of IK being half-demon.

ooohhh yes....... very good..... i like it very much... shot of her half-in and half-out of the stage light with her fringe all swept to one side..... then cut to a shot of her from the right side with the diamond exposed and a red demon eye....... when lucifer shields her from the gwi-ma equivalent (which i guess would just be sonno) only the top half of her head is visible and the wind blows back her hair to reveal the mark in its entirety..... also sets up a perfect tender forehead-touching or forehead kiss moment. absolute cinema

re: the whole demon-patterns-being-exposed moment. perfect devastating moment would be ik running offstage after the secret is revealed and running into the angels. and simeon steps forward to shield luke from her. and then she like demon-teleports off somewhere just before solomon arrives, so then we get a big dramatic moment where he yells at simeon before going after her

re 2: solomon being a "rehabilitated" demon sympathiser is also veery good. presumably mephisto did what he does best and just dipped on him at some point and the whole thing was found out by the angels later, and he just went along with their whole "oh you poor thing, tricked by a demon" thing because what else is he supposed to do??

Would he go show Mephisto and would he get a Spider-Man kiss?

mephisto! done on a random evening after dinner, in that half-joking/ironic way that someone does when they're genuine about it but unsure of the response they might get (i.e. "haha jk....... unless?")

(thank you!! i'm glad you like em :D)

i think at first it'd be regular shock, then quickly followed by a distant sort of horror while he silently catalogues the extent of the damage

Also the fact that they met again eternities later and one of the first things Mephisto does is call him sexy. I don't know how Solomon coped that situationship would've had me crashing OUT

he figured that mephisto wasn't returning after he felt their pact sever, which would've been after a month or two - but it took him a good decade to give up hope entirely, given the timescale he was living on (and that he knew demons operated on) at the time

also wow yeah i don't think i even fully considered how that felt to solomon. the mephisto he met was still very much under sonno's influence (and still had long hair. not really relevant but) so he was kinda like... brooding? he'd started developing his sense of humour and was pretty bizarre but also clearly Haunted in some way

so they're companions for an indeterminate time, get close enough for mephisto to form a pact with him, and then he vanishes (shortly after beginning to open up out his past in the devildom). then theur pact BREAKS (which the demon shouldn't be able to voluntarily do) and solomon just kinda assumes he's dead or something

it's non-zero, that's all i'll say....

jk i'll elaborate a little - mephisto didn't leave out of a lack of love, he was just pissed off with how solomon was behaving and also incapable of correcting what was wrong. solomon is aware of this, but he also can't resist his own scientific fascinations, so all he can do is mope about it

it's not a bitter separation by any means (solomon just kinda. takes it when mephisto tells him), but it's also not really amicable? they don't see each other again after everything's signed, at the very least - until solomon gets caught by the rangers, mephisto gets called in to help with the interrogation

so the onus is really on solomon to get mephisto to be receptive to the idea of reconciling - they both miss each other, but one of them is being stubborn about it, and the other is being pathetic about it

i like the idea of the heroes telling mephisto something like "idk the only times he's talked to us has been to ask when you're coming back. we kinda need you to get all the info out of him. we'll compensate you, seduce him if you have to, people's lives are at risk here"

It’s kind of funny kind of sad how they manage to get situationally divorced in all the universes
