or: lucifer, and the frozen moments that hold you close to him.
*sigh* look. when i started writing, this was supposed to just be a cute little something about lucifer being all soft and sweet on you! somehow i’ve ended up with some sort of weird character study about pride instead… oi, what do you mean, “i’m projecting”? gn!reader, angst to fluff, blood mention and the tiniest bit of (tasteful) body horror in the middle. heavily inspired by chet baker’s “my funny valentine”. lucifer seeing the world through a very particular lens in 1800 words or less.
there are no pictures in lucifer’s study.
asmo goes on at him about how “honestly, lucifer, you spend half yourlife in here… you ought to at least make it look nice!”. he’s probably right, but lucifer always dodges the issue and shoos him out before he can suggest something like that ridiculous floral monstrosity that seems to consume most of asmo’s room.
and okay, fine, maybe his office is a bit plain, but it’s not a bad place to be, as long as your name isn’t mammon. tastefully decorated and understated in its richness, those soft, plush furnishings, that lovely dark wood - all lovingly chosen, all part of lucifer’s carefully cultivated image. he’s prince diavolo’s right hand man, first of the seven lords of the devildom, the avatar of pride. it stands to reason that his study should reflect that, right?
This is one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve read about Lucifer. I was smiling so widely when I read about him framing photos of his brothers and friends up. I can see him hunched over his desk in his grandpa glasses carefully cutting up pictures from magazines in my mind ☺️
Lucifer rarely shows affection, which is why it is so heartwarming for me. More than moments with MC, I look forward to seeing Luci get soft and gooey for his family. ❤️✨
Who was the character that got you into obey me and who ended up being your favorite?
Optional: you can say why
The character that got me into Obey Me: Lucifer
Listen…I have a type in otomes, okay? The dark-haired, stoic but secretly soft boys always capture my heart the fastest. I saw a really hot fanart on Tumblr of Lucifer and immediately went ‘I HAVE TO SEE WHO THIS IS’. And then baam, I am a fan. Although he was clearly different than what I expected in the beginning, he still has a soft spot in my heart nonetheless. I am severely torn between peppering his face with sweet kisses and punching him until he pisses blood for hurting Mammon. So yeah, it’s complicated that way.
The character who ended up being my favourite: Mammon
It was a very big struggle for me to decide at first. I loved them all a lot (okay, maybe not all of them. Asmo and Belphie weren’t in the list to begin with) but then as the story progressed, I found myself gravitating more and more towards Mammon. Honestly, he grew on me with his adorable jealousy and protective big brother vibes. I’ll admit that he goes a little overboard sometimes with the whole tsundere thing, but that doesn’t make him any less likeable for me. I get the urge to spoil and baby him a lot, and I guess that’s all there is to it. Sorry, I’m not that good with my words.
Like they don’t necessary have to drop an f bomb in every sentence but if they bang their funny bone, get annoyed, or are struggling to open something theyll let something fly.
Lucifer hates it and says it’s unbecoming so he’s implemented a swear jar. MC, Mammon, and Satan are the largest contributors
However MC has a special swear jar of their own for biblical swears. He’s learned the hard way humans have a unique and vulgar habit of referencing big papa. Simeon supports the swear jar system but for vastly different reasons
Winners include: god damn it, fucking Christ, for the love of God, good lord, I swear to fucking god
Watch your tongue MC

MC: God-fucking-damnit!
