Ion & Emily - Best Friends
(Just a little bridging chapter between "How It All Started" and "Unexpected Company")
“She kissed you!?”
Sarah is literally bouncing with excitement while I blush and try not to make a bashful little grin.
It's weird. I'm still not exactly sure how it happened. She kind of adopted me and we just sorta platonically clicked.
I am now best friends with Lady Lacuna.
(Pause here for inner fangirl screaming - seriously though, she's super cool and we hang out all the time in each other's lairs)
“Oh my god! Jen has a girlfriend!”
“Technically Ion has a girlfriend… well, I don't actually know, it's not exactly official. The whole kidnapping thing is kinda weird for genuine conversations.”
I ponder this for a bit before letting out a frustrated sigh and peer back at the circuit board I'm working on for her.
“I… I don't want Ion to be the only side of me she sees. Like I want to spend time with her as Jen. You know?”
Sarah flops back on the sofa next to the bench where I'm working.
“Then ask her out. You two text all the time, she's obviously into you. Text her right now and ask her.”
“Yeah, but what about the whole secret identity thing?”
“Eh,” she says with a dramatic shrug. “That's half the fun. Honestly, I'd be surprised if she hasn't figured it out already.”
I frown and chew my lip.
“Text her. Right now. Get on your phone and ask her out as Jen.”
“It's not that easy,” I protest.
“It totally is.”
“But-”
With a wave of her hand a tiny portal opens up over the workbench and she snatches my phone.
“Hey!” I shout, fumbling with the soldering iron as I scramble to get to the couch where she is now cackling maniacally and tapping away.
“Dear Emily,” she says. “I think you're really hot and we should get married.”
“What?? No! Give me that!”
I tackle her and somehow manage to wrestle the phone out of her grip. It's not as bad as what she just said, but she's still texted Emily. “
Me, 5:21pm
Hey, are you busy Friday night?
“Oh, you are evil,” I growl.
“Duh, I'm a super villain,” she replies with a wicked grin.
I look at my phone and watch three little dots dancing on the screen. Emily is typing a response. I grip my phone with both hands, watching as the dots dance in and out of existence as she composes a reply. Sarah sits next to me, craning her neck to watch the screen and grinning expectantly.
We both wait with bated breath. Finally (finally!) the phone pings.
Emily, 5:23pm
Nope! Anything in particular you want to do? :)
Oh god… she signed it with a smiley face. This is happening.
“What… what do I want to do??” I ask with a wide eyed beseeching look to Sarah.
“Ambient music cocktail hour at the modern art museum.”
I blink at her in surprise.
“That's a thing?"
“Yeah, totally,” she says. “A girl I dated last year was super into that sort of stuff. I think you'd like it.”
I do a quick search and yes, it is in fact a thing that happens on the second Friday of each month. Huh…
I take a fortifying breath and tap out a response.
A few seconds later:
Emily, 5:31
Oh! That sounds awesome! I'll pick you up at 6?
“Yes!” Sarah whoops and pulls me into a tight hug. “When you get married, you have to make me the maid of honor!”
I smirk as I extract myself from the couch to finally finish the upgrades to her boots.
“Enough about me,” I grumble. “How did your date last night go?”
“Uuuugh,” she says, leaning back with a dramatic sigh. “It was awful. He kept trying to mansplain quantum physics to me. Like I totally don't have a PhD in high energy particle dynamics. Seriously, I'm swearing off men forever.”
“Didn't you swear off men forever last month?”
She scrunches up her face and glares at me.
“Yeah, but I mean it this time.”
“Uh-huh…”
I watch her as she sulkily pulls out her phone.
“Have you ever thought about dating another super?”
She frowns and looks at me with a questioning glance.
“I mean… you're always complaining about everyone you date. Maybe you need someone who can meet you on your level?”
An expression flickers on her face, something I've rarely seen, a strange sort of uncertainty and vulnerability. It's gone in a moment and she cracks a smile.
“Relationships between villains can be prickly,” she says. “You remember when Reverb and Osprey leveled half the fashion district? Lovers quarrel.”
Yeah, that brawl was a whole entire thing. I guess I can see how strong villain personalities might cause some issues.
“Unless you mean I should date a hero?” she says with a strained laugh. “Wouldn't that be a hoot?”
Okay, there is definitely some history there, but I'm not going to poke at it.
Instead, I turn my attention back to the boots and slip the circuit board into the heel before running some diagnostics. The heels aren't like stilletos or anything, they're decently sturdy, but still, they've gotta be at least 4 inches.
“How do you even fight in these?” I ask.
“Practice,” she says, not looking up from her phone. “After beating childhood cancer and getting a PhD at 19, learning how to run and fight in heels seemed like the next logical life goal.”
“I could never,” I muse “I'd probably break my ankle in five minutes.”
“Skill issue,” she replies.
I gasp indignantly and she gives me a wink and a cheeky smile. She's not wrong. I mean, I probably could if I really wanted to. But I didn't really want to. I'm tall enough without heels.
“Well…” I say, “they're calibrating now. The updated control loop should boost performance and help you stick more landings.”
“You're the best!” she says, bounding to her feet to examine my work.
“Hey, you wanna rob a jewelry store or something?” I ask.
She narrows her eyes at me.
“You're trying to get out of training aren't you?”
“Yeah…” I admit, hunching my shoulders.
“Jen…” she sighs. “I watched your last fight. You keep missing bunny boy’s right hook. You're going to keep missing it if you don't practice.”
“Nobody told me being a super villain would be so much work,” I grumble.
But I'm already sullenly climbing to my feet and unzipping my sweatshirt as we head to the fighting pit.
Oh, I think I forgot to mention, I'm in Lady Lacuna’s evil lair, which totally used to be Doctor Magma’s evil lair. We're walking past all sorts of diabolical apparatus, like a whole entire mad science laboratory. It is the absolute coolest shit you can imagine. Like imagine the coolest evil lair of evil, now double the coolness of that. That's about where I am when I come to visit this place.
So here I am, about to enter the fighting pit with my best friend where she will proceed to kick my ass for an hour. Not gunna lie, it's actually a really good workout by itself. Even if I still get knocked around by Jackrabbit's right hook, I'm still in the best shape of my life.
I still can't believe how much my life has changed since I got powers. I love what I do and I have more money than I know what to do with. I have a best friend now. I (Ion) have a girlfriend (probably). I (Jen) have a date with that same girl on Friday.
Yeah, life's pretty good.
I feel like I'm ready for anything life has to throw at me.

the trend of showrunners, storywriters, and other story driven creatives being so hellbent on trying to outsmart their audience that they ultimately make lazy-seeming and/or nonsensical and/or downright bad story choices for the sole purpose of not doing what fans predicted is so boring. if your audience can guess where the story is going that isnt a bad thing, it just means youve set your story up well.

I just wanted to back up what you were saying about how bad li-ion battery's are for the environment! Also that the US helped a coup in Bolivia under Trump so that they could privatize a public lithium mine there, EV are not all they are cracked up to be 🙄
i feel like the toxicity of li-ion batteries in EVs gets swept under the rug so much! groundwater leaching is such a dangerous thing and i swear nobody brings it up in the EV conversation ://
also, the sheer volume of political corruption/human rights violations involved in their creation is ridiculous. like the coup in bolivia, child labor in cobalt mining, literally everything about the thacker pass lithium mine… it’s a shitshow.
the synthetic fuel that porsche is working on isn’t perfect, but i’ll take that as a solution long before EVs. i mean, shit, formula 1 already said that they’re gonna switch to e-fuel in a few years, so i’ll take that as a sign that the research is going well, aha
anyways yeah EVs suck, US imperialism and intervention is corrupt and always serves corporate interests before human rights, and e-fuel is a thousand times more promising than EVs are. also thanks for backing me up anon!

“HOW LONG.”
Part One | Part Two | Part Three | ALT ENDING
Masterlist
Warnings: mentions of cheating.
Taglist: @adamsfavoritesinner @dustsofangels @leathesimp @lunanight1021 @michelleszn @p1nkiee @reeses-piece @strangerthings36 @biggdaddylonglegs @danart501 @sashaphantomhive @ladyninggs @dak-ots
Hello, so this is the Alt ending so everyone please know that this is LUCIFERS ENDING! Adams is in part three!
Tumblr media
Court went absolutely terrible. Adam had basically trashed the whole idea. Adam also had a huge influence on the court.
I felt truly sorry for Charlie, and Emily. I had thought Sera told Emily, but apparently not. Let's just say, the whole session could have gone better.
"I'm so sorry Charlie." We were back in the heaven hotel. We had a few more hours before we had to leave. "It's okay, not your fault." Her smile was shaky. "Do you think I could have some time alone?" | smiled gently at her. "Of course darling, get some rest." I closed the door and looked up to see Lucifer. He looked conflicted, confused, and concerned. The three C's.
" knew I shouldn't have set up this meeting. They crushed her!" We walked back into our own hotel room. "She's a strong girl Luce. She'll be okay. I promise." And she will be. Eventually.
Lucifer smiled at me, but the it faltered. The conflict-ion coming back into his face.
*I saw Lilith." | nodded my head and gestured for him to continue. “|-I don't know anymore. I like you." He sat down on the bed putting his face in his hands. "Like really really like you." | sat on the floor in front of him. Moving his hands away to look at his crimson eyes. "I like you too.”
His eyes squeeze shut almost as if his next words hurt him to say. "But I made a vow. That no matter what she and I would always have one another. Even if those words did hurt him, I was positive it hurt me more.
"Your going back to her" A tear fell down my face. Lucifer opened his eyes again and brushed the said tear aside with his smooth hand.
"What kind of man would I be if I didn't keep my word to her? What kind of example would I be telling my daughter?" My heart was hurting.m but I understood even if it did hurt.
"Do you love her. My voice breaking. I never even met her and yet it felt like she took away all the ones I loved. "Yes." Fuck.
"Do you love me?" Another tear fell. This time instead of his hand brushing it away it was his lips. “Yes.”
(Where the ALT ENDING begins.)
I shook my head. He couldn’t tell me that. Not when he’s going to her. Not when I loved him.
“I understand.” I understood but fuck why did this hurt so bad then? “I have to go to her now.” He stood and looked to the door. “She’s coming back to hell with us.” I stood as well and nodded at him.
He walked across the room. I heard the door open but I didn’t look to see. To busy staring at the wall in shock, I’m heartache, and in longing.
The door closed and I heard two words come from Lucifer. “Fuck it.”
He walked across the room to me and when I turned to ask what he leaned me down to his lips.
He was kissing me, hard.
My lipstick started to stain his lips and he spoke in between when our mouth would disconnect.
“The example—“
Another kiss.
“I want to set—“
A kiss.
“Is for my daughter—“
A kiss.
“To choose the person their heart actually belongs too.”
A final kiss. Our hand started to roam all over each other.
Lilith ended up staying in heaven. I had convinced Adam to call off the extermination.
Adam would try and win me back but I always said no. I couldn’t ever trust him again.
I would always love Adam. And if he ever needed my help with something I would give the help he needed.
But with my son on the way I wanted to set an example to him.
To be with the person his heart truly belongs too, and not to be with the person they gave vows to, that no longer have no meaning.
I wore my silver band that Adam gave me around my finger.
Lucifer wore his gold band Lilith gave to him, around his finger.
We never married, we didn’t need too. We were happy as we could ever be.
AND THATS A WRAP! If you have any ideas don’t be afraid to request. 💛

The downfall of media representation: a look at the massive cancelation tide of queer-woman-led shows of 2022
A little more than a year ago, I published a piece on what I called “the queer renaissance” where I reminisced on Lexa’s legacy (The 100) and showed optimism on the representation scenario given the variety of shows airing or to be aired with queer woman among their characters, and the grand amount of WLW couples in committed relationships that had on-screen marriages between 2020 and 2021. But even then, when things were still looking up representation-wise, I pointed that a cloud of worry was coming due to the end of many beloved shows that featured queer characters. There, I mentioned Black Lightning (Grace and Thunder), The Bold Type (Kat and Adena), Supergirl (Alex and Kelly), Brooklyn99 (Rosa), Atypical (Casey and Izzie), Genera+ion (Riley and Greta), Dickinson (Emily and Sue), Motherland Fort Salem (Raelle and Scylla) and Killing Eve (Eve and Villanelle). Little did I know that my optimism was foolish and that the worry brought by the end of the above-mentioned shows would only grow stronger after a very disturbing 2022.
The first cancelation tide came in April. When rumors started regarding the selling of The CW, queer fans immediately started worrying for their beloved shows, specifically for DC Legends of Tomorrow and Batwoman. Turns out they had a reason to worry because even before the network was sold by Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery to Nextstar, The CW axed a long list of names from their portfolio. The shock was evident since The CW traditionally renewed their shows and allowed departing series to have a final “goodbye” season, as they did with Supergirl. But what called everyone’s attention was the fact that Legends of Tomorrow last-airing season (the seventh of their run) had done great regarding to critics and ratings. It also had more views than shows that would get renewed, like Riverdale. Media outlets later revealed that the apparent cause for cancelation was that the uncertain future of the network at that point led Warner Bros. to not want to commit to another long-term lease on the sound stages in Vancouver. The fact that they also did not renew their deal with Netflix for distributing content largely affected their revenues as well. Not to say that any of these issues did not play major parts on the future of our beloved shows, the fact remains that series that were in similar conditions, that is, also shot in Vancouver, also distributed by Netflix, and with similar or lower ratings and approval from critics, were renewed. In contrast, Legends of Tomorrow and Batwoman were not. The difference between then and the ones that got renewed: both were led by woman who loved other woman. And one of then was led by a black woman.
           It was not easy moving on from such losses and being left without a proper ending to beloved characters and couples. But the cancelation wave did not slow down. Gentleman Jack was canceled in July by HBO. Despite BBC’s desire to move forward with the show, they still needed HBO as a co-producer and global distributor. It was hypothesized that the gap between the first and second seasons, caused by the pandemic, led to lower ratings and, thus, cancelation. But the untold reality was that HBO somewhat sabotaged the show by changing its time slot to air in the US and not pushing as much publicity for season 2. This kind of approach reminded me of the way Nickelodeon treated The Legend of Korra, constantly changing its time slot and ultimately moving it to streaming for the fourth and final season. Korra was a pioneer in queer representation for animated series.
The Wilds was canceled after a second season mostly focused on new male characters instead of the group of girls that led the first season, including the couple Shelby and Tony. Some shows had briefer runs, like Prime Video’s Paper Girls and Netflix’s First Kill. So short indeed that it makes me believe that genre TV for sapphics is the ultimate streaming queerbaiting. It is worth mentioning that many people, including LGBTQIAP+, stated that these shows were better off being canceled since they were poorly scripted and had terrible CGI. Addressing these issues, I have to say that poor visual effects never stopped series from getting renewed (just see Supernatural) and shows with really horrible scripts are constantly made and renewed by streaming platforms (Netflix’s Elite is a perfect example). However, I do not agree that they are badly scripted at all. Despite heavy criticism, First Kill had an expressive number of views and ranked well in Netflix’s Top 10 in many countries, also showing great numbers on socials which were at least comparable to Heartstopper (already renewed by Netflix).
But it was not enough for Netflix to cancel First Kill, and the news about the cancelation of Warrior Nun hit colder than ice. Warrior Nun was already a beloved show that grew its audience during the pandemic. Although some had reservations for the first season because of a possible queerbaiting, this possibility was erased by season 2 and the beautiful slow-burn romance between Ava and Beatrice. The momentum the show gained by the launch of its second season was impressive and it was impossible to go through the Twitter timeline without seeing some post or photo related to the show or Avatrice. The impact was so big that made people go back and watch the first season as well. Rotten Tomatos season 2 critic ratings were 100% and audience score was 99% with 7925 reviews. In fact, season 2 had the highest Netflix audience rating ever. The audience, already aware of Netflix MO, grew the engagement of the series on social media, despite Netflix showing zero effort for advertising the new season whatsoever. And again, despite the great ratings, views and engagement, the show got axed without much explanation, leaving a passionate audience with multiple unsolved cliffhangers.
Netflix, having one of the largest portfolios among networks and streaming platforms, is naturally the home of many shows with LGBTQIA+ characters. It does not feel like a coincidence that these shows, especially the ones featuring lesbian and bisexual woman, are the main targets for cancelation. The cycle continues: platforms pick up shows with a queer character for producing to fill the diversity box; they offer little to no support for the people involved on the actual making of the show, offering lower budgets compared to other equivalent series; besides the low production value, they also put little effort on advertising these series, making very hard for the show to do well outside the queer bubble; still, some audience, specially queer woman, sign to that platform to watch the series, grow attached to the characters, ship the couples, engage on social media, and do what they can for it to get to as many people as possible, since the network or streaming is doing virtually nothing in this regard; ultimately, the show either performs poorly as far as visualizations, mostly due to the sabotage of their own producing platform that offered a low production and advertising value, or performs well, but never well enough to them. In the latter case, it feels like woman-led shows are always held to a much higher standard than the male-led ones, having to do so much better to get same recognition. Misogyny and lesbophobia are the two words that come to mind describing this heartbreaking cycle.
At the end of the day, what we are left with? Series that give terrible endings to their sapphic characters, like Killing Eve. Series that are giving us kind of a bad type of representation, like The L Word Gen. Q season 3 (destroying character evolution and pushing outdated plots). Series with great representation which we are so afraid to get attached to just so we’d be disappointed again (like A League of Their Own and Sex Live of College Girls). And series that we will never even know the ending (choose any of the above-mentioned series). It is worth pointing out that all the fandoms are fiercely fighting for their shows to get pick up by other platforms and find new homes, as they should. A great example that the fight is worth fighting is Wynonna Earp. The show was canceled after its third season, leaving the audience with many cliffhangers. The fans fought hard and SyFy pick up the series for two more seasons. Ultimately, season 5 never happened, and its only owned to the creator Emily Andras, who did not want to make the same mistakes as season 3 and leave multiple loose ends, that we got a satisfying beautiful ending at season 4. But even with only one extra season, it was so worth it. And one final season could be all we needed to feel a sense of closure for all these falling series.
It is worth highlighting that LGBTQIAP+ representation is so important for so many people to recognize themselves in the characters and feeling less alone in this world, for helping people accept themselves, come out to their families, and just to normalize in general the existence of LGBTQIAP+ people in all sorts of environments and genres. We are currently seeing undoubtedly a major regression on how media approaches representation in general. We started back then being either sexualized or straight up killed, evolved into great characters with diverse well-thought-out plots, only to now have our shows canceled. And, although we are all exhausted, we cannot go down without a fight. A unified fight with all fandoms from canceled shows. As we did in 2016 after Lexa’s death, we need to make our points to major media outlets, go after the sponsors of the platforms, make a fuss in social media, look for alternatives. I still hope that, together, we have the power to make a difference if not for the series that were already canceled, to at least avoid that the shows that are still running or just starting to have a similar fate.

Hah! I just found this transcript from the archives. This was all declassified for the extranormal community in the 90s after some Radiant Heart deacons showed up on a wizard talk show before we could stop it.
The following document was assembled from an audio recording and agent recollections during an operation that took place January 2nd, 1950, wherein Agents Saxon and De Boer attended a “revival” religious meeting held by Extranormal Beliefs Group “First National Church of the Radiant Heart” in the guise of reporters from the local newspaper. Elizabeth De Boer is an accomplished psychic medium in Office employ, and Saxon is employed as Security.
===============
[The revival meeting takes place in a large tent, such as that used for a circus. A few hundred people or more are assembled inside. Benches are arranged in three “wings” surrounding a central stage. It was noted after the fact that this resembles the “trefoil”.]
[De Boer] Is it on?
[Saxon] Yes, ma’am.
[Background noise and chatter from the assembled congregants.]
[D] What do you think so far, Saxon?
[S] They put me in mind of my cousins.
[D] Why?
[S] I’m from the hills, ma’am. ‘Round Tennessee way. My family’s church are all snake handlers.
[D] And how do you feel about them?
[S] Pity, mostly.
[D] Because they’re religious?
[S] On account of my uncle dying from the snakebite, ma’am.
[D] Mmm.
[S] Speaking of, how’s the Geiger?
[D] We won’t keel over tomorrow, if that’s what you’re asking. 
[S] But it’s still going off, ma’am?
[D] Chambers said the ███████ would protect us.
[S] Not that I distrust Miss Chambers, ma’am, but a man gets a little nervous when he sees a Geiger counter spinning.
[A rising noise from the crowd quiets them. Clapping and singing commence as Pastor Mayweather himself rises onto the stage, waving, smiling, and grabbing an offered microphone.]
[Mayweather] Thank you, Brother Mark. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, you know why we’re here tonight. Don’t we?
[The crowd murmurs agreement.]
[M] We are here in communion, ladies and gentlemen, we are here to give HONOR to the one that unites us, gives us life and POWER, and BRINGS us together both here and in the next life, can I get an amen?
[A chorus of ‘amens’ rises from the crowd. Mayweather continues to speak as he paces back and forth across the stage.]
[S] He’s navigating the stage real well. I thought he was supposed to be blind?
[D] They said he doesn’t have eyes. In our line of work, I wouldn’t assume those mean the same thing. Besides, he’s probably faked it.
[M] --and you are HERE, ladies and gentlemen, to witness a miracle. Am I right? I got to speak about something here folks, let me speak before we bring on our new friend. Do you feel it, folks?
[Shouts of agreement.]
[M] Oh I feel it too. That glow, that warmth. Can you feel it, soaking your body, wrapping your very DNA in radiant love, rebuilding you? Of course you can, family. Of course you can. Brother Mark, can you-- yes, thank you Brother Mark. Folks, this is Emily. 
[A young girl is wheeled onto the stage in a wheelchair. She is shy, but looking up at Mayweather with awe.]
[M] Young Emily here had polio. She has been blighted by that dreadful disease and can no longer walk. Isn’t that right? [E] Yes, Pastor.
[M] Emily, are you here to accept the blessing of our saviour, our light, our POWER and warmth, the Split Atom? 
[E] (tearing up) Yes, Pastor.
[Mayweather puts his hand on her forehead and leans down toward her.]
[M] Sister Emily, will you place your faith in the Glow, the holy radiation, and be PURIFIED by ions, down to the subatomic level, Miss Emily--
[E] Yes, Pastor!
[The lights in the tent flicker and a low hum fills the area. The counter on the silent Geiger counter in De Boer’s longcoat rises.]
[S] What’s he doing….
[M] Sister Emily, by the POWER and AUTHORITY invested in me, we will REMAKE you. We will split one atom, one holy exercise in unlocking the secrets of the universe and we WILL burn away this damage, we WILL heal your damaged nerves--
[The crowd’s cheering rises to a fever pitch. The lights flicker faster and a green glow emanates from Mayweather’s hand. He continues his invocation, and many in the crowd join him, chanting, cheering, reciting scripture.]
[M] BE HEALED, Sister Emily, be HEALED!
[There is silence, and then a crackling energy. Briefly, green light can be seen behind Mayweather’s sunglasses. As the lights come back up, Mayweather holds out his hand.]
[M] Sister Emily, will you rise in the name of the Glow?
[After some hesitation, Emily pulls herself out of her chair. To her amazement, she can stand shakily on her feet. The crowd erupts in cheers and praises.]
[S] Wow. That’s--
[D] Chicanery. Hogwash. 
[S] The girl seemed--
[D] A plant. An actor. Flicker the lights, flash a green flashlight onto the speaker. It’s a show to sell their radiation quackery.
[Mayweather dabs his forehead with a handkerchief as Emily is led off the stage.]
[M] Isn’t that a miracle, ladies and gentlemen. Isn’t that wonderful. We know where our power comes from, don’t we? From the Radiance, from the Great Ionization. Folks, we have another thing to show. Brother Gregory, fetch the- thank you, Brother Gregory.
[A deacon brings a Geiger counter and sets it on the stage on a table. Mayweather stands behind the table, his hand over the counter.]
[M] Ladies and gentlemen….ladies and gentlemen, we are GATHERED here tonight in the name of the Split Atom, I said in the NAME of the SPLIT ATOM to call up the spirit of Sister Josie, isn't that right? Yes family, Sister Josie passed on into the Glow two months ago but her holy atomic soul has lingered to GUIDE us into the holy Glow ourselves. 
[He raises his hand, palm outward, and the crowd goes silent. Saxon notes that De Boer leans forward to watch.]
[M] Sister Josie….are you here? Are you here with us?
[The Geiger counter is silent for a moment, then crackles to life. De Boer clutches her forehead.]
[S] Ma’am? Do we--are you okay?
[D] Yes, yes, just. Keep the recording going, Saxon.
[M] Sister Josie, is that you? Two clicks for yes, one for no.
[The Geiger squeals twice, and Mayweather smiles. The crowd gasps and murmurs.]
[M] Ain’t that something, folks? Ain’t that something? Sister Josie, can you bless us tonight? Bless us with your Radiance? 
[The counter goes haywire, squealing and clicking loudly. De Boer leans on one of the bleachers for support, gritting her teeth.]
[M] Can you feel her, folks? Can you FEEL her ionized spirit coursing through each and every one of us gathered here?
[D] We need to go. I need to leave.
[S] Yes, uh. Alright, ma’am, let’s--
[The sound of the crowd dies down as they leave the tent.]
[S] ….what, uh. Did you hear something?
[D] Yes, I….hold on.
[De Boer takes a moment to compose herself.]
[D] Screaming. 
[S] What?
[D] It was just screaming. Just….screaming. Turn the recording off. We need to get the ERTF involved.

Hi!
I was just wondering if it’d be possible for you to do like a pick your ending for the Adam cheating fic?
Seriously, your poll hurt me to choose between them.
“HOW LONG.”
Part One | Part Two | Part Three | ALT ENDING
Masterlist
Warnings: mentions of cheating!
Taglist: @dustsofangels @leathesimp @michelleszn @pinkiee @strangerthings36 @sashaphantomhive @ladyninggs @dak-ots @adamsfavoritesinner
Okay so yes I can and shall be doing this! I’ll have an alt ending of Lucifer getting the girl. I’m doing and “ALT” instead of choose your own cause Adam did win the poll! However I hope you enjoy! 💛 THIS IS ADAMS ENDING!
Tumblr media
Court went absolutely terrible. Adam had basically trashed the whole idea. Adam also had a huge influence on the court.
I felt truly sorry for Charlie, and Emily. I had thought Sera told Emily, but apparently not. Let’s just say, the whole session could have gone better.
“I’m so sorry Charlie.” We were back in the heaven hotel. We had a few more hours before we had to leave. “It’s okay, not your fault.” Her smile was shaky. “Do you think I could have some time alone?” I smiled gently at her. “Of course darling, get some rest.” I closed the door and looked up to see Lucifer. He looked conflicted, confused, and concerned. The three C’s.
“I knew I shouldn’t have set up this meeting. They crushed her!” We walked back into our own hotel room. “She’s a strong girl Luce. She’ll be okay. I promise.” And she will be. Eventually.
Lucifer smiled at me, but the it faltered. The conflict-ion coming back into his face.
“I saw Lilith.” I nodded my head and gestured for him to continue. “I-I don’t know anymore. I like you.” He sat down on the bed putting his face in his hands. “Like really really like you.” I sat on the floor in front of him. Moving his hands away to look at his crimson eyes. “I like you too.”
His eyes squeeze shut almost as if his next words hurt him to say. “But I made a vow. That no matter what she and I would always have one another.” Even if those words did hurt him, I was positive it hurt me more.
“Your going back to her.” A tear fell down my face. Lucifer opened his eyes again and brushed the said tear aside with his smooth hand.
“What kind of man would I be if I didn’t keep my word to her? What kind of example would I be telling my daughter?” My heart was hurting.m but I understood even if it did hurt.
“Do you love her.” My voice breaking. I never even met her and yet it felt like she took away all the ones I loved. “Yes.” Fuck.
“Do you love me?” Another tear fell. This time instead of his hand brushing it away it was his lips.
“Yes.” He whispered just above my cheek, his breath fanning over my skin. Fucking Christ.
“I’ll love you.” I said, my words full of truth. Even if we hadn’t known each other for a long time.
“I’ll always long for you, but I’ll always miss my wife.” He looked so tired, so torn, so broken.
I brought his lips to mine, my lipstick once again staining his lips. “I love you. So I’ll let you go.” Perhaps in another universe. Perhaps another timeline. We would have been together.
“Thank you.”
“For?”
“Being you. I couldn’t ask nor want anymore fro you. Your fill me full with content like no other.”
His words done it’s job, it had comforted me.
Lilith went back to hell with Lucifer and me and him would share conversations, but we drew a line we never crossed.
Over time Adam started to show up a lot more around me. I had also made him call off the extermination. He always was asking for me to come home every time. This most recently time had finally worked out in his favor.
“I miss you.” Adam said looking up at my roof in the hotel. “I’m sure you do.” He had only said it a million times. He got up and turned my body away from the window, making me look at him.
“Every breath I take without you is filled with poison. Every drink I sip burns my throat as if it’s lava. You food I eat I feel like chocking to death.” Be brushed my forehead with his own. “I have tasted the most delicious divine fruit of all in a place that was paradise, but even that felt like hell because I didn’t have you.” I went to speak but he pushed a finger to my lips, dishing me. “I never asked for Lilith. Or Eve. And yet both left me. I never felt good enough, not once because of it. That’s why I did that horrid thing. But I was too good for them. The only thing I’m not good enough for is your love, and your being.”
“If I forgive you, you’d do it again.” I tried to explain but he shook his head as if my words were ludicrous. “That’s we’re your wrong, I shall worship the air you breath, devote my entire existence to you and only you. And if I have to rip my heart on and give it to you on a silver platter then so be it, because I love you more than any apple, and garden, and heaven, hell, world. I love you more than anything ever even thought of.”
Tears fell down from my eyes. “One more chance, that’s it.”
You didn’t fully trust him but over the years he did as he said and devoted himself to you and only you.
Adam knew you deserved a better man than him, so he became one.
AHHHHH DONE! I’m going to do an ALT ENDING! So if you wanted Lucifer it will be out shortly I promise. Also sorry if this was short.
I’m trying to upload at least three things on my upload days! So others should be out today as well so check it out if you’d like!
