spn fic: "blind, without a blow"

[fannishliss]

 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

I love this. And Sam did defeat Lucifer. He just... defeated him because he showed Lucifer why God created humans.

I love this.

Sam did defeat Lucifer! but not by mental wrassling match. It was the beauty of their brotherly love that overcame Lucifer -- so Sam, Dean and the Impala all had a hand in it!

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

Amazing. Truly fantastic. Thank you for a much needed story from this POV.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting -- I'm glad you liked it!

I'm trying to go through and do this whole 5.22 aftermath chunk by chunk. The Lucifer pov was vital before I could move forward with Sam's.

This is completely amazing and so, so right!

Thank you!
