Drabble: Bandit (Supernatural; Lucifer, Anna, Castiel)

Spoilers up to 5x06. Title is from the Robert Piguet perfume, which I'm currently thinking of buying online I have just bought on ebay. (Yes, I'm another brunette who orders her drinks straight.) Poem-fic, set in the same past as Straw Dogs. As missnyah astutely pointed out, there is a lot of Mike Carey's (less whiny) Lucifer in this fic ( Read more... )

a very good Lucifer voice. {very good throughout)

it's scary, but he would understand Anna and Castiel's situations, since he himself was cast out and nearly destroyed.

>whats true is true is my only offer
that's a reference to when he said he doesn't lie, right?

when he says forgiveness is unencompassable [...] except for himself, does he mean that he can be forgiven - or is it a reference to (at least in Dante's works) the devil is in the center of Hell rather than in the circles?

just wondering.

no matter what the answer, I admire and adore this poem.

Thank you. :)

That's an interesting reading. What I had in mind is more ironic - that God's forgiveness is infinite, yet Lucifer was singled out to be punished.

I don't know Supernatural at all but my, Lord, I love this ( ... )

Yay! I love that you put a Lucifer spin on it, because I cannot write Samael without Mike Carey in the back of my head. There are some major incongruities between Lucifer of Supernatural (who is blatantly EVIL) and Lucifer in the comic, but I wanted to bring the complexity and the empathy of the comic to this poem.

Of course, nothing is a straight out lie here, but the fact that he's directing his words at Anna and Castiel (two angels who have fallen out with the host, without technically being Fallen) means that you can't trust him completely.

I'm so glad you liked it. :)

"I was kicked out for THIS?" and "I was kicked out for this!" at the same time.

YES. That is so true!!! LOL

haha this is what I get for stepping out of my fandoms. I just took this as a crossover... and in my mind it shall remain.
