I am always ready to lower the tone. But seriously, porn in this universe would be the best thing ever. The WD is so puritan in so many ways, while the LP is really hedonistic - instead of imagining the LP as hedonistic because of its evilness, how about imagining hedonism* as evil because it is associated with that Beautiful Power? In this reversed universe, sexuality might be celebrated. Kit and Nita could talk about how the WD (I'm really liking my epithet of Burned One...) is hot, but nowhere near as hot as the Beautiful One. Or, or, or, there could be Beautiful One/Nita JEALOUSY porn. Post-WH, say

Okay, give me a minute to recover from their *cute* -- the banter! The jealousy, ahahahahahahaha YES. *smooshyhands*
Nita as the favored daughter kind of makes me *beam*, although I cannot believe in a Nita who didn't pull the same kind of thing with a Fallen Winged Defender (I kind of like Burned One too; it lends a certain pathos that would fit with the concept of the Winged Defender falling because It was doing Its job too well.) that she did with the Lone Power.
In which case, It might well have some reason for jealousy.
But when your most powerful Power is addressed as the Beautiful One, yeah, I can see sex -- making beauty between two or more beings -- being a canonical glory to the One. I mean, heck, I am the one that thinks Aphrodite would end up being the Athene type of figure.
\o/ It's the idea of them happy for a change. It's endlessly seductive.
although I cannot believe in a Nita who didn't pull the same kind of thing with a Fallen Winged Defender Good point. Nita is such a rounded and open character, which I think is why it's so easy to see Nita/LP, and vice versa - DD is so careful to maintain our awareness of the LP as something that is everywhere, and in everyone (as you explored so well), but it's easy to remember that the same is true of the WD. Where, in our universe, Nita might be seduced by the LP's hedonism and desire to fulfill her own needs (her mother living, and I think her own sexual desire is a component that most fans play on and is certainly an aspect of the Fairest one's temptations) - but I can equally see her being seduced by a Fallen WD's burning desire for perfection, and perhaps for simplicity - blacks and whites, where an unfallen Fairest One might present more challenging greys. (Of course, the YW series is one of the most aware of greys out there, from the WD as well, so. But

Dude, my girlfriend and I just spent fifty thousand words setting up a universe where they could be happy. (Okay, and fucked-up, because this is still the Lone Power, but.) It is *very* endlessly seductive.
Yes.
Which is another good reason to refer to It as the Burned One, actually, if you take as your initial premise that that was the reason It fell, which I quite like: burned by Its own virtue, caught by Its own quest for perfection.
Poor baby Ronan, though! His terror over the One's Champion basically eating him would have to be worse if It was Fallen, and with quite good reason. A Fallen Winged Defender would probably not care overmuch for the sanity of Its host.
