Meep! You totally creeped me out! I figured it had to do with the wall, but didn't know what was going to happen to Sam...

[authoressnebula]

Thank you! Creepy was sort of a requirement with this prompt, and I loved being able to do it. I had a blast with this one. :)

I've got a sequel set up in mind, probably less creepy than this one. But possibly not. So many possibilities...

Stunning. Making it a Lucifer mindgame is a brilliant touch, the nagging possibility that the seizures aren't just flashbacks, that Lucifer can still get at Sam in them, and this would be just Lucifer's style, taking everything away from Sam quietly, almost gently, until there's nothing left but him.

Thank you for such an awesome fill.

Thank YOU for one of the most awesome prompts in the history of ever. I had such a blast with it! Seriously. It's been haunting me ever since you posted it, and my muse has been twisting it and turning it until finally she presented me with this, and I just had to snag it.

Lucifer's always been more about the mind games to me than the actual violence. To me, one of the worst things he could do to Sam would be to make Sam want any physical torture, because the other option is even worse. There was an episode of the Twilight Zone where a guy wished for nothing in the world to exist except books so he could read in peace. He got his wish, but he accidentally stumbled, lost his glasses, then stepped on them, so he couldn't see at all. Surrounded by thousands of books and completely unable to read them. That's the type of cruelty I thought of with Lucifer, so I'm really glad I got that gentle horror across.

Seriously, you do the best frickin' prompts. I'm so glad you really liked this one. :)

Oh holy crap that was AMAZING. So frickin creepy! It's impossible to describe the level of creepiness in this. Like halfway through I thought it was something about Lucifer convincing Sam to say "Yes" but the end was a twisty twist. So was it a hell-seizure from Season 6?

[marziebarz]

hah, 'bout that...didn't see the spoiler/warning thing...I'm a genius =P

[authoressnebula]

LOL totally okay! I loved doing the twisty-twist in this one. Seriously had a blast. Though this would've been a hell of a way to convince Sam to say yes. So glad Lucifer didn't think of this during season 5. *shivers*

Thank you so much! :)
