spn fic: "blind, without a blow"

 He was wrong.

Lucifer defeated himself, the moment he, in his arrogance, took Sam as his vessel.

Lucifer regarded humans as little more than animals, clay and spit mixed together and made to move about through the regrettable debasement of his Father’s holy fire.

In hell, through the aeons, he had watched through the bars of his prison

Wow. Terrifying and haunting at once. I love that you've captured the brutal dichotomy of Lucifer, kindness and cruelty at once. Well done.

[fannishliss]

Thanks so much, sweetheart! I'm really glad you liked it.
Lucifer was very cruel, and it was important not to whitewash that... yet for Sam to overcome a being shown to be pretty much godlike, was a very longshot... and rewatching the scene a dozen times pretty much convinced me, this is how it happened. :)

AMOR VINCIT OMNIA.

*squints*

My Latin is rusty on a good day ... Does that mean "Love conquers all?"

[fannishliss]

Yes! .... though, of course, Amor is the amorous love that in canon is described as Psychotically, Irrationally, Erotically Codependent. "Philadelphia [brotherly love] vincit omnia" just never caught on. :D

LOL, no, I guess it just doesn't have the same ring. :-p
