Lilith = MC
AU Headcanons
Getting to know you again
Lucifer
Lucifer was the tough-love older brother.
...With everyone except for you that is.
After vowing to always love Lilith and then almost killing you more than once...
He felt more than a bit guilty.
So expect to be coddled.
You had spent your only alone time before this whole Lilith thing came to light drawing.
Just doodles and sketches.
The only one that had noticed before was Mammon since he was practically your babysitter.
But now Lucifer had noticed too.
And nothing you could do would stop him from displaying your drawings proudly on the walls if you ever gave him one.
He also liked to spend time with you listening to his record collection.
Chilling in his room while listening to music together, him working while you were drawing, was your go to bonding activity.
But don't expect this to mean he won't lecture you.
He's definitely lecturing you.
Especially now.
"Do you know how unsafe that is?"
"Never go there by yourself again."
"Get down from there MC, you'll break something."
"Do not make me repeat myself. You are not allowed to drink Demonus... I do not care if it does not affect you."
But still you were the only one who could get away with pranking him, so there was that.
Mammon
He was already over protective of you before finding out you were his sibling.
Now he acts like your personal guard dog.
But don't make the mistake of calling him 'Cerberus' again.
He was not pleased.
He buys you so many things at first that you start to wonder whether he's sick or something.
Eventually he calms down and stops.
In reality he got his credit card frozen again.
But still he'd do anything for you.
He won't admit it, but he loves you so much he couldn't even put it into words if he tried.
He loves the person you've become and he's so proud of you.
He's also always helping you out whenever Lucifer is about to lecture you.
If anyone can reason with Lucifer in those cases, it's him.
You keep asking him to serve as a reference for your drawings.
Posing characters in drawings is hard , ya know?
But he's an expert at modeling.
And he's not going to say no to spending more time with you.
After all, he's the first one who made a pact with you so
"I'm obviously the best big bro, right?"
He drags you into childish prank wars.
You were pretty sure he let you win though.
Probably because when he did win, your other brothers would glare at him for days.
Leviathan
"Can you draw Ruri-chan in a flower field?!"
"Can you draw the characters of TSL?!"
"OOOH, CAN YOU DRAW MY HENRY AS THE HENRY?!"
He'd pay you of course.
Unless it was a present or something.
You kept staying up watching anime late a night.
You missed school a couple of times because you ended up sleeping in.
And whenever you would watch a really good anime together the amount of cosplays Levi wanted to make for you was ridiculous.
Not that you minded.
Roleplaying anime and manga characters was so fun.
You could basically spend days locked together in his room or yours without getting bored or even noticing the passage of time.
And don't even ask about videogames...
If you start a good video game, no one else will see you both until you beat it.
Levi also helps you whenever you get pain from drawing too much.
Being a gamer, he's experienced similar types of pain.
He's got you covered.
You also casually mentioned taking him to Comic Con in the human word once.
Now you have to do it.
He'll "die" if you don't.
Expect to win first place at any cosplay contest in the future.
Levi won't accept anything less.
"You aren't dressed as Henry."
"You ARE Henry."
Satan
He was the most relaxing of your brothers to be around.
He found you relaxing to be around too.
He enjoyed telling you all about Lucifer's embarrassing secrets and about all the pranks he'd pulled during the years.
You also were there for each other whenever you felt self conscious about not being your own person.
You both liked sitting in the library in silence.
He read while you drew.
It was very peaceful.
One time you got really bored and started sketching him.
Then you got even more bored and added cat ears.
He saw before you could hide it.
He was speechless.
He was understandably flustered.
But he loved it.
He loved it so much.
You gave it to him and you're pretty sure he keeps it safe with his favorite books.
He's also the one you go to when you can't sleep for random reasons.
He doesn't mind you waking him up.
That just means he gets to read you a bed time story.
No, he doesn't care if you feel childish.
He will tuck you in and read to you and you will like it.
Asmodeus
Sugar.
Honey.
Sweetie.
Gumdrop
Give me your hand.
I'm painting your nails.
Whether you liked it or not, you were going to look your best.
Asmo would not allow you to feel like anything less than royalty.
You were his little sibling.
And considering his other little siblings would never let him...
He needed someone to dress up and put makeup on.
He designed so many outfits for you that it made you feel bad for Levi, knowing he'd have to be the one to sew them together.
You pretty much had your own "original Asmo" clothing line wardrobe.
And he also loved all your drawings.
Especially the really cute ones.
"Ooh~ Draw me next!"
He believes everything about you and your appearance is perfect.
He will not allow you to shame yourself in any way.
He will go as far as dedicating entire days to making you feel good about yourself.
And if anyone ever dares insult your looks or your body...
Well.
They dead.
Asmo will find them.
^w^#
Beelzebub
Took him a while to explain why he was acting weird around you.
You had almost forgotten that he blamed himself for Lilith's death.
Honestly, you didn't blame him.
The Lilith part of you never blamed him either.
He was still upset.
So you asked Lucifer for money and took him out to eat.
He still wasn't acting like himself, but at least this gave you an opportunity to talk to him.
You reminded him that you would have made the same decision had you been in his place.
And your were happy he made that decision.
You wouldn't be you if he hadn't.
Slowly but surely, he loosened up.
And then proceeded to eat the restaurant's entire stock.
Whenever he started feeling bad again you would hug him and try to take his mind off of it.
You couldn't help the way he felt, but you made sure he knew you didn't agree with him beating himself up about it.
He brings you food all the time.
If you say your aren't hungry, he'll still bring you food.
If you insist, then he'll sit beside you and he'll eat the food.
You love sharing giant bowls of lava cake and ice cream, even if Beel ends up eating most of it.
Belphegor
Of course it was all still very awkward.
Belphie was still coming to terms with how different you were from Lilith.
And the times you acted exactly like Lilith threw him off.
You'd think you would spend most of your time together sleeping, but actually most of your time together is spent making art.
You gave Belphie one of your drawings as a show of good will.
You didn't want what had happened in the attic to shape your relationship.
(Even if it was still hard to let go...)
Once Belphie realized that you liked to draw he figured it could be a good bonding experience to draw together.
You do your best to cheer him on.
You didn't think his drawing was that bad despite what the others had said.
He also started teaching you how to make plushies.
As you grew closer, he also grew clingier.
It wasn't too much of a bother, but you could see him pout whenever you hung out with someone else.
Those nights he would inevitably cuddle with you to sleep.
He still slipped up and called you Lilith sometimes, but you always tried your best to wave it off.
You weren't as close as him as your past life had been, but you were getting closer.
Diavolo
Lucifer talks a lot about his family in general when he's alone with Diavolo.
But when it comes to you?
Oh boy, has Lucifer told him everything.
Diavolo has started regarding you his little sibling as well.
You're constantly being invited over for tea.
(Which makes you terribly anxious but you agree nonetheless.)
He dotes on you so much it's like having a second Lucifer... Who's the complete opposite of Lucifer.
He refuses to go into detail about your rebirth and has told Barbatos to not tell you anything either.
Diavolo also sees you as the embodiment of what he's trying to accomplish.
You're a human who was once an angel and has 7 demon brothers.
If that's not proof of how well the three realms can coexist, he doesn't know what is.
Barbatos
Of course, he's the once preparing the tea whenever you come over.
He also seems to be aware of how uncomfortable social situations like those make you.
Diavolo remains oblivious to your discomfort, but Barbatos always comes to the rescue.
To be completely honest, Barbatos still scared you a bit.
And you swore he knew.
And you SWORE he was enjoying it.
He'd come up behind you and start speaking.
You'd nearly jumped out of your skin a few times.
Maybe it was just a coincidence, because you were naturally jumpy.
But you were also usually on alert because of that fact, so him being able to sneak up on you so consistently without actually trying to was suspicious.
You didn't believe it.
You were keeping an eye out for him from now on.
Simeon
The difference before and after he found out you were Lilith was minimal.
He still babies you terribly.
He will unapologetically steal you away from your brothers.
If you didn't know any better you'd think he was trying to claim you as his sibling instead.
You were with Levi when you both found out that it was Simeon who wrote TSL.
In the midst of Levi's fanboying he blurted out that you'd made fan art.
"Tons" of it.
You were planning on killing him for that later, but now you had to deal with Simeon pestering you about wanting to see your art.
You were not going to show him your art.
Did he want you to die of embarrassment?
You couldn't just show the creator of TSL your fan art.
Specially not anything relating to ships.
But then he had to go and say: "It's a shame. I have been looking for someone to illustrate the special edition of the books that's releasing for the anniversary..."
Evil.
You saw evil behind that innocent smile of his.
You were so grateful when he actually liked your art.
(You still weren't showing him the ships. That was not happening.)
You couldn't help but feel he definitely had better choices for an illustrator than you, but he insisted that wasn't the case.
You spent a lot of time with him just gushing about how good his writing was and trying to figure out how he seemingly wrote about events that hadn't happened yet.
But he wasn't planning on revealing that anytime soon.
That was a closely guarded secret.
:)
Luke
Any pent up frustration you get from having your brothers overly doting on you gets directed into Luke.
Luke is going to get the best big sibling whether he wants it or not because dang it you need to pay the love forward somehow.
You buy him stuff.
You send him recipes.
You even help him bake.
But when you do help him bake is when the sibling roles seem to flip.
Luke is obviously nearly a master at baking so he's in charge when making sweets.
But then again, he'd probably reprimand you for eating raw cookie dough regardless of his authority over you.
"MC! You'll get sick!"
When your brothers start calling him a chihuahua you defend him.
"Guys, he doesn't like it when you call him that."
This is one thing they don't seem inclined to listen to your opinion on, however.
You can't completely blame them.
You have to stop yourself from calling him that too.
Not to mess with him, but because you think it's cute.
You may or may not have drawn a lot of Luke chihuahuas in your sketchbook though...
Solomon
When you finally managed to evade your brothers and go hang out with Solomon he had so many questions.
You answered all you could, but there were things you couldn't answer like the exact "how?" of you being Lilith.
You told him he'd have to try to ask Diavolo and by the mischievous spark you saw in his eyes you knew he would.
You didn't want to be unfair to the other people in your life, but you loved spending time with Solomon.
It wasn't necessary better than spending time with anyone else, it was just different.
It gave you a weird tingly feeling.
And Solomon clearly liked spending time with you too, given the fact that he was usually the one asking you out.
As friends, you know.
You felt really calm around him.
You felt like you could be yourself completely.
Probably an added effect of having him know your dreams.
It was imposible not to feel closer to him after he saw the products of your subconscious mind and he still accepted you.
And you were honestly fascinated by him.
He had so many stories of the human world.
He knew a lot of history too.
It was almost as if he had been around back then...
Whenever you implied that, however, he would always deflect and change the subject.
He'd also been avoiding telling you his age, which was suspicious enough in itself.
But then again, your older brothers were demons so maybe you weren't in the best position to be calling people out for being suspicious.
You'd always been really open to trusting people and seeing the best in them.
That was probably something you retained from your time as Lilith.
And your fascination with the human world in general seems to have been another thing you retained as well.
You really wanted to keep getting to know the world through Solomon's stories.
And maybe get to know him along the way too.

Headcannon request here! Cuddle headcannons? I'm a sucker for fluff!
Tumblr media
Cuddle Headcanons
Lucifer
When he wants to cuddle, you cuddle, that's it, end of story.
If you want to cuddle he'll usually say yes, unless he's busy.
When he's working you often wriggle yourself into his lap to cuddle up to him.
Work cuddles sometimes play out like when a cat sits on your lap and decides it wants your attention: first, you get comfortable. Then, you begin some small pleas for attention, be it asking for quick kisses or nuzzling him or giving him a quick yourself. At some point, you'll up the ante, but you'll usually get his undivided attention and cuddles for a bit
Until he multitasks and cuddles you while working on the usual paperwork.
He's always the big spoon.
You can't escape him.
Mammon
He's so embarrassed at first, it's like you're hugging a hot water bottle.
When he finally calms down and his entire body stops overheating, he'll relax.
Compliment him or tell him that you love him if you want him to heat up again.
He'll absentmindedly start tracing circles on your back.
You petting his hair and reassuring him makes him melt.
You switch between being the little spoon and the big spoon depending on your moods.
He's the protector, but he also just wants to feel loved.
Leviathan
It takes forever for him to get used to cuddling and loosen up.
He's tomato red and stiff as a board, at first, but with time, he'll relax a bit more.
Levi believes in little spoon supremacy and genuinely likes ~and occasionally needs~ to be held
That doesn't mean he won't take the role of the big spoon when you want or need your own turn, tho
The first time you tried gamer chair cuddles (when one sits on the other's lap and plays on a screen behind the first), he immediately reverted to the stiff, red-faced, shy Levi for a bit
Cuddling in his bed ends up with one of you on top of the other and Levi barely able to contain his happiness.
Satan
Cuddles are usually you laying on him in one way or another as he reads.
He also likes playing with your hair or the edges of your clothes.
He likes feeling your weight on him, it relaxes him and makes him feel safe.
Spooning can go either way here.
He likes to rest his head on your chest after a bad day and just listen to your heart beat.
Pet his hair and he'll be putty in your hands.
Asmodeus
While cuddle bug doesn't begin to cut it, Asmo NEEDS the wholesome affection.
He needs to be held and loved in a pure way.
He'd monopolize the little spoon position if he didn't value your need or desire to be the one held.
But when he does hold you he drapes his body along yours as if you were a body pillow.
He'll nuzzle his face into your neck and whisper sweet nothings until your blushing.
He sometimes suggests cuddling naked, but not to be sensual, just to feel you that much closer to him.
Your comfort is very important to him; as soon as you tell him to stop he will.
Beelzebub
Holding you with one arm, eating popcorn with the other?
Life can't get much sweeter than that for Beel.
That said, he's usually the big spoon, for preference reasons.
It makes him feel like you're safe.
Although, he isn't opposed to being a little spoon, he's like the biggest plushie you can find.
Warm and comforting.
He can see why you like being the little spoon
Belphegor
Don't let him grab onto you.
He won't let go.
You can't tell if he's pretending to be asleep or if he's actually asleep, but he somehow manages to grab you either way.
As soon as he has you, he'll pull you into.
You're his favorite pillow.
He likes being the little spoon, but he likes using you as a pillow even more.
~Aqua
We joint your requests as they lined up well! Hope you guys don't mind! (I forgot the tags, my bad) ~Chibi

Lilith = MC
AU Headcanons
(The "it's complicated" gang)
Tumblr media
@moonjellymermaid
A bit of a respite
Diavolo
He wasn't 100% sure at first.
But he knew he had made sure Lilith's soul was reborn in this century so it was a possibility.
Still you seemed like a really nice person.
And he was curious about you and the human world regardless.
Once it was confirmed that you were indeed Lilith, he just thought it was a happy coincidence.
He hadn't intended for her reincarnation to be in the exchange program.
But everything seemed to have worked out.
He never actually ended up calling you Lilith.
It just seems like a weird thing to do.
You were MC, not Lilith.
Lucifer had warned him about you not wanting to be called Lilith, but it was a non-issue.
Diavolo saw you like a little sibling nonetheless.
Being so close to Lucifer, it was hard not to become attached to his siblings as well.
And Diavolo simply thought you were a delight to be around.
Barbatos
Much the same as Diavolo, nothing really changed.
He was always kinda scary to you at first, but that was probably because of the stories and rumors your brothers had told you about him.
Barbatos had actually been the only one to hint at your true nature.
Like when Celestial realm cuisine was enjoyed that time at the Demon Lord's Castle.
"You look as if this is familiar to you, MC."
It just seemed like weird comments from the eccentric pastry chef at the time.
After everything was revealed, he invited you out to go buy tea leaves with him.
He could tell (probably because his powers had clued him in? You weren't sure.) that being called Lilith bothered you.
He didn't push you into anything.
But he did help you see that allowing your brothers to continue that way was only going to hurt you in the end.
He was wise and liked tea, (you had started to call him "Uncle Iroh" in your head.) he was overall a comforting presence to be around.
You were still a little scared though.
Simeon
As soon as you arrived in the Devildom and met this angel, he kind of adopted you.
He could tell there was something different about you.
And being around you remind him of when he used to see Lilith around before the war.
But Lilith had never seemed so lonely.
He could tell you were scared.
So he wanted to give you a little safe haven.
He couldn't fix all your problems, but he could try his best to guide you.
He was an angel after all.
Besides, it seemed like you could use a friend (or a brother)
He wasn't that surprised when he found out you were Lilith.
But he hadn't had a chance to talk to you until after you had already told your brothers you didn't want to be called that.
He didn't mind either way.
Whether or not you were called Lilith you still had the same reactions to things as she did.
Your scared face, your surprised face, your guilty face; all the same.
Teasing you and Luke was just so fun he couldn't help it.
He didn't want to upset either of you, but you were both so adorable.
Luke
You were already an angel in his eyes.
You stood up to Lucifer.
To Lucifer, MC!
He was honestly in awe that a human could be so courageous.
It all just made sense when it was revealed you were Lilith.
I mean, sure he was shocked.
And sure he had to have Simeon calm him down and explain everything to him for about an hour.
But it all made sense!
It didn't surprise him in the slightest.
He was actually avoiding you until after you had said you didn't want to be called Lilith.
It was just so awkward.
You were "MC" this whole time.
It was weird to suddenly start calling you by the name of someone he thought was gone.
When that had passed however he baked you a bunch of muffins as an apology for not being there for you.
He was the little brother you'd never had.
You had so many older brothers you were glad to have a younger one.
Solomon
At first you kinda kept your distance from him.
He was the only other human in the Devildom.
But something about him seemed off.
Like his smile held secrets.
And he seemed really interested in all those nightmares and dreams you'd been having.
You didn't really have any reason to distrust him.
So when he offered to help make sense of your dreams, you pushed aside your apprehension and accepted.
It was the best decision you could have made at the moment.
While he wasn't able to help you make your dreams any clearer, just having someone to hang around made you happy.
You hadn't had many real friends back in the human world.
The people who "befriended" you, always seemed to have an ulterior motive.
To cheat off your homework.
To use your good reputation to get out of trouble.
To make fun of you for being adopted.
It was ridiculous really.
Being adopted just meant your parents loved you enough to go through the hassle that was the adoption process.
It didn't make you any less than anyone else.
You remember being told by your parents that you shined so brightly that those other kids just wanted to dim your light.
You didn't get it at the time.
And sure, Solomon technically had an ulterior motive for spending time with you.
But you could tell he actually cared about you.
And that made all the difference in your opinion.
Going into it, it was more of a give and take type of situation.
He wanted to study you and you wanted to make sense of your dreams.
Win-win.
It was along the way that he became your friend and started to care more about finding a solution for your sake rather than for the sake of research.
When it was revealed you were Lilith, he didn't know what to make of it.
He couldn't help but be really excited at the prospect of something so powerful that it could restore and reform a soul.
At first his intentions were rather selfish.
But he came to his senses quickly enough.
You must have been really struggling with this revelation.
He was the only one who knew about all of the dreams you'd been having, so he had little trouble predicting your reaction to all this.
To his surprise, however, you started to avoid him.
He was hurt at first, but he figured you just needed time.
The news that you wanted to keep being called MC came to him through his housemates in Purgatory Hall.
He was elated when he finally received a text from you one day.
MC: Hey Sol, mind if we hang out later today?
MC: Hell's Kitchen, my treat?
He agreed in a heartbeat.
He had so many things he wanted to ask you.
But those questions would remain unanswered a while longer.
MC: Sol
MC: I am so so sorry
MC: I'm going to have to ask for a raincheck here...
MC: Lucifer just gave me a bunch of chores out of nowhere.
MC: We can talk later?
Solomon: Yeah, it's fine. No worries.
But in his head Solomon could only worry.

Lilith = MC
AU Headcanons
From the other side
MC has arrived in the Devildom not so long ago and they were already making waves.
There was just something about them...
And whenever they mentioned their dreams...
Oh, it was really weird.
Why did they...
Why did they dream of Lilith.
It was an unspoken agreement that no one would tell them their dreams were seemingly from the perspective of their little sister.
It didn't make the mystery any less perplexing.
The story went along similarly to what you might already know.
Tasks, pacts and everything in between.
The changes, unnoticeable to the naked eye, reverberated internally in their hearts and minds.
Lucifer
You avoided him.
Ha. At least you had common sense.
He knew about the weird dreams you had, because he knew everything that went on in the House of Lamentation.
It unnerved him.
He knew you couldn't be Lilith.
Lilith had to have lived so long ago...
But then, what were you?
Whatever you were, it infuriated him.
He was not letting his guard down.
He had to protect his brothers above all else and you suddenly showing up and making pacts was making that more difficult than it should be.
Not to mention the manipulative, however unwilling, effect that your retellings of your dreams had on his brothers.
He would not hesitate to strike you down if it ever seemed you posed a threat to his family.
Mammon
Okay so there's gotta be an explanation for why threatening to eat you makes him feel immediately guilty, right?
The look in your eyes....
So scared and helpless...
Damnit!
No!
He didn't care about some stupid human!
He didn't!
He just had to keep you safe cause it was his job.
That was the only reason he felt responsible for you!
He had to keep you safe because if not Lucifer would have his head.
What danger could come from you drawing alone in your room?
Anything! This was the Devildom, ya know?!
No, he didn't want to spend time with you!
No, he didn't want to practically adopt you!
And no, he didn't want to hear about your dreams that sparked a painful, bittersweet nostalgia within him...
Leviathan
What a weird normie.
Well no, he supposed that was inaccurate.
You weren't a normie.
But he wouldn't accept that you were somehow at his level of being the ultimate otaku!!!
Yeah, so maybe you read TSL.
Yeah, so maybe you watched the anime and the stage play!
That didn't mean you were a bigger fan than him!
No way!
It was just because you had all of that available to you in the human world!
It just wasn't fair!
AND HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT'S IN THE UNRELEASED VOLUME OF TSL?!
He pretty much blacked out at that point.
Apparently he had almost killed you.
...oops.
But he couldn't stay mad at you when you showed up crying that you were sorry you spoiled it, both for him and yourself.
You had apparently really wanted to win for some reason.
No, stop crying...!
Fine, fine.
All was forgiven.
Just make sure that the next time you binge watch an anime it's with him and not with Mammon.
If you really were as much of an otaku as you claimed, you better be ready to prove it.
You were having a sleepover.
But no one would be sleeping until you watched at least one anime from the Devildom completely!
You hadn't shown him your drawings then; you were too shy.
But there is no way he would ever let you not show him your drawings again!
You could be a mangaka!
And he would get all the sneak peaks!
Satan
Wow.
You were really weird.
You needed to stop sticking your nose in other people's business.
You were lucky you were hard to be angry at.
Maybe it was because you made Lucifer angry and that amused him?
Or maybe it was something else?
He couldn't deny that having the silent company of someone else in the library reading or drawing was nice.
It took away his loneliness.
And you seemed to be lonely too...
Fine, he could stay in the library a bit longer.
You didn't have to realize it was because of you.
He was just content to sit in silence and read.
Asmodeus
At first he just thought you were a good source for drama.
But you kept surviving somehow...?
Fine, he guessed you were kinda too cute to kill.
He didn't have time to spend on you however.
And he didn't want to have to think about why the thought of seducing you seemed so weird to him.
It almost felt...
Wrong?
It was only after realizing how amazing you were and making a pact that it clicked.
He saw you in the same way he saw his brother!
Yeah, he wouldn't say no to seeing you au naturel, but it was the same kind of wanting that he felt when thinking about Lucifer, for example.
The body was a beautiful thing.
No one could tell him it was wrong to admire a work of art.
And what he most wanted to do was take care of you!
Feed you.
Brush your hair.
Do your make up.
Dress you up!
Oooh! You were just too cute!!!
Like the little sibling he always dreamed of!
The little sibling he used to have...
Beelzebub
Why was your presence so familiar to him...?
And having to share a room with you only intensified the feeling.
The way you acted sometimes...
The things you sometimes said...
It was all so familiar, and yet it was completely foreign at the same time.
And now...
In this room...
"Could you... Um, uh... I-I'm sorry if this is rude but... Could you tell me about her...? A-About Lilith?"
He didn't have any real reason not to at this point.
And he wanted to.
And then you told him about your dreams... And about your nightmares.
There was something uncanny about all this.
He wasn't sure what it meant.
But it would be fine if he could protect you in the meantime, right?
Belphegor
Foolish human.
Humans really were naive.
But the glimmer in your eyes made him think you were more aware than you let on.
It didn't matter.
If you were going to let yourself be manipulated...
Heh, that just worked out perfectly for him.
Why did you seem so worried about him?
And why did you say things that she...!
No. No.
He was just being sensitive.
No way a human could be anything like his little sister.
Maybe it was too cruel to end someone so willing to help...
Whatever.
You wanted to play the role of pawn.
Then you would be the pawn.
Checkmate, Lucifer.
Diavolo
Could it be...?
It was certainly possible.
If it was, however...
Lucifer would be shocked to say the least.
You seemed so scared ever since you got to the Devildom...
He could at least help make you feel better while you were here.
Even if he couldn't be sure you were Lilith just yet.
Barbatos
He was almost certain you were Lilith.
Of course, proper investigation had to be finalized before saying anything.
Still, it was hard to miss the way your soul seemed kind, pure and strong, just like Lilith's.
The brothers had probably not noticed because they were closed off.
Their grief was blinding them to what was right in front of them.
He would finish investigating and do just as Lord Diavolo commanded.
He knew that regardless of the truth, he'd make sure that this whole situation had the best conclusion possible.
Simeon
Well he had another Luke now.
That is to say you were now his child.
You could do nothing to fight it.
He was going to make sure you were safe and happy and that you made the best of your time here in the Devildom.
Maybe he was overstepping.
But you did really seem in need of a friend.
He was already guiding one little angel...
What was one more little lamb?
Luke
Where you actually an angel?
No, that was imposible.
But you were so nice!!
And you protect him from Lucifer!
You could have died!
He should be the one protecting you, you were just a human!
He didn't care if Mammon kept teasing him and getting annoyed whenever he showed up to be around you.
He wanted to spend time with you.
He'd always wondered what it would be like to have a sibling relationship like this! (Without all of Simeon's nagging and treating him like a baby.)
Not that he would ever admit it...
And he'd be remiss to let the chance pass him by.
Solomon
At first he was more interested in getting to the bottom of your nightmares and dreams.
You had confided in him and it piqued his curiosity.
And he was confident he could figure out a way to help you.
To study your dreams and figure out their cause, you had to spend a lot of time together.
And a lot of that time was spent with him literally looking into your dreams.
It was an intimate experience.
Only made worse by the fact that the only private place to do this was his room.
It made you a bit uncomfortable, he could tell, since there was no telling or controlling what your dreams would show him.
And to be completely honest.
He was stumped.
He'd never seen anything like this.
This was way more complex than a simple case of amnesia.
He did concur with your assessment, however.
These "dream-bros", as you called them, were incredibly similar to Lucifer and his brothers.
Now he really wanted to unravel this mystery.
And now it was more than just to satiate his curiosity.
He genuinely wanted to ease your burden.
It was hard not to grow to care for someone when you spent so much time with them.
He didn't want you to look so scared and sad all the time.
Your smile was adorable.
He wanted to see it more often.
MC
Why was it that you felt more lonely now than you had ever felt before?
You didn't know why, but you really wanted the brothers to like you.
Whenever they mistrusted you or kept you at arms length, it hurt more than it should have.
You'd just met them, right?
Why did it feel like something inside you was expecting more...?
They reminded you of the brothers from your dreams, but that couldn't possibly mean anything...
You just didn't know what to make of the situation.
The times you could spend drawing by yourself were your much needed "recharge" times.
Unless you let yourself be guided by impulse as you drew.
The drawings that resulted from that...
Why did they make you feel so sad?
You were happy.
You were honestly truly happy to have real friends for once.
You wanted to enjoy it!
And you did!
Whenever you were in the moment, hanging out with any of your new friends you felt happy.
That gnawing sensation at the back of your mind that you were forgetting something abated.
But when you were alone with your thoughts...
Why did this all feel so bittersweet?
There was an almost completed puzzle in front of you.
But several pieces were missing.
~Aqua
And thanks to Chibi for giving me the idea to fill in the gaps I'd left by doing it from the perspective of the other characters!

Demon Mc headcanons
Lesson 1: Odd human, odd lookalike, and weeds of despair
Notes: This is the second post dedicated to this series of headcanons for an au. If you're new, the first part definitely gives you some context, but should you want to continue, please note that the use of (Name) and Mc is deliberate.
Welp.
That test was a failure.
Sure, you didn't MEAN to summon a Chimera, but what did they expect would happen when they all shouted different things as you tried to do your summoning spell?
And no regrets, the witch in charge had a sweater that was too ugly for even Christmas and your fireball practice earlier made quick work of putting the poor, drying sweater out of it's misery.
Was it worth being a guinea pig for the next few months?
Absolutely not.
Thankfully, you'd never see that sweater again.
For now, you had two days of isolation, blank paper, pencils, pens, and a whole bunch of dice.
Not... Not that you had someone to play the tabletop rpg with.
But preparations never hurt, right?
Well, not like you could prepare for what came next.
"Where... Am I?"
A courtroom?
Who are these people?
"Welcome to the Devildom, Mc."
Yup.
For all the witches' attempts to keep you as far away from anyone and everyone, here you are
Surrounded by the one thing that the witches banned even speaking about.
You, Mc, were surrounded by demons.
On the bright side, the one who introduced himself as Diavolo seemed nice.
His... Friend?
Yeah, friend seems like the safe assumption
His friend, Lucifer, didn't seem as nice.
Actually, he looked shocked when he saw you.
And Lucifer's siblings, Asmodeus and Beelzebub also seemed shocked, but they didn't recover and went on as if nothing like Lucifer did.
As for the fourth member of Lucifer's family that you've met, Satan didn't seem shocked. Maybe mildly surprised?
Mildly curious?
Mammon, who arrived at Lucifer's text request, almost looked like he'd seen a ghost.
And once you met Leviathan, he did a double take once he actually saw you.
Did you do something wrong?
Or do they know you?
Whatever it is, you can probably get through it.
You were brought here with all you'd need: paper, dice, and your folder.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Demon Brothers (6):
Mam: WTF
WTF
WTF
Satan: stop spamming
Levi: ah? Lmao. WTF! Come on! Smh
Asmo: I agree
What the actual fuck...
Beel: ...
Satan: Lucifer, I think you've broken Beel.
Lucifer: I am just as shocked as the rest of you.
But I expect you all to act properly, and not cause any trouble.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{Chat by Aqua}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lucifer
No one
Absolutely no one could have prepared him for your arrival.
He knew how to mask his shock quickly, but he's definitely sure you noticed.
Lucifer also talked to Diavolo about it, but in summary, it ended in a "a heads up would have been nice, but we'll be professional about it."
Diavolo apologized often (He really didn't mean to bring a lookalike of the brothers' dead sibling, (Name))
As soon as his shock subsided, all you could see in Lucifer's eyes was sadness whenever he'd look at you.
Banned everyone from mentioning (Name) to you.
Mammon
A bit quiet, but you definitely saw despair in his eyes.
There weren't many "I'll eat you" threats from him.
(Name) probably wouldn't have appreciated it.
He does, however, get a bit protective.
Sure, Mc's a (Name) lookalike, but it's kinda hard to look at them and not think of all the fun stuff he and (Name) did
Like when they pulled off that one prank!
Or the time they managed to hide every pen and quill for miles!
Ooh, or-
Damn, he misses them.
Leviathan
Almost broke the (Name) ban the second he saw you.
Took to calling you "Copycat Normie" when "Normie" didn't cut it, but you don't really know who your copying.
Almost told you it was exactly like the plot of "My brother went missing and now his lookalike is my roommate"
It's... Weird.
The urge to invite you to play video games with him is strong
And you, Mc, aren't quite as difficult to talk to.
And Henry 2.0 seems to like you.
Maybe...
He could stand to hang out with you?
It's hard to look at Levi in the eye because you see him light up only to get sad again when he looks at you.
Satan
Neutral, mostly
It actually kinda hurts to see everyone occasionally get their hopes up only to remind themselves that Mc isn't (Name)
For one, Mc is much shyer, judging by Lucifer's memories of (Name).
And (Name) was an angel before, while he's almost sure Mc is human. Almost.
An odd human, even by mage standards, but a human nonetheless. Maybe.
There's something about calling you human that feels wrong, but he'll have to see how to confirm or deny it.
Now, what he does see, unbeknownst to you, is the potential in you to be a great mage
Your fireballs leave a lot to be desired, though, so he could definitely tutor you.
And maybe find out whether you're actually human or not.
Maybe.
Asmodeus
The shock, stress, and sadness are a dangerous cocktail that threatens his skin
At least the first two died down, eventually.
Kinda hard to be "Gift to the World" Asmo when he sees you every morning and all he can do is miss (Name)
Mc, what are you wearing?
Ok, so maybe he can push past the sadness to save this poor mage from their limited closet.
By the time he gets to fixing your hair, he pauses.
It's like...
Helping...
(Name)...
Again...
Asmo shakes his head to get back to work.
If he wouldn't have let (Name) out like that, he wouldn't let you.
He did call Solomon in tears after the day's events.
The sadness in his eyes is overwhelming sometimes, but taking you shopping seems to help him.
Beelzebub
If you thought Asmo was sad, you haven't seen anything, yet.
Beel rarely raided the fridge at night, now.
Mc is too much like (Name).
Same kind personality
Same willingness to help (maybe a bit too much for them)
Same kind eyes.
If he didn't know any better, he'd say you were (Name).
But since (Name) is gone...
Surely you wouldn't mind if he...
Kept an eye on you?
Not immediately adopting you, but one of your first supporters.
The grief in his eyes is overwhelming, plain and simple.
That said, you let him vent whenever he wanted to.
Or offered him fresh snacks whenever you had some.
You knew despair and sadness sucked from personal experience, so if anything you could do helps Beel, you were there to help!
Belphegor
How dare they?
HOW DARE THEY BRING A FILTHY COPYCAT OF (NAME)?!
If he hated anyone most in existence, right now, it'd be you.
DID THEY EVEN THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS COULD DO TO BEEL?!
New plan.
First: trick you into freeing him.
Second: tear you to bits.
Third: tear into the assholes who brought you here.
To say his eyes held a boiling hatred was an understatement.
That said, you weren't stupid.
It was a bit odd to you thet the plot of TSL reminded you of the brothers
Like how the Lord of Fools has a lover named Geldie, who was found frozen, was strangely similar to how Mammon's card, Goldie, was found frozen (yes, it's a card and not a lover, but he treats that thing like the love of his life)
And how the Lord of Corruption imprisoned the Lord of Emptiness much like Lucifer imprisoned Belphegor.
Life imitating art?
Art coincidentally imitating life?
Whatever it was, you let him know your suspicion once you were leaving.
"Oh, and Belphegor? You didn't have to lie. I would have helped you even if you were honest."
You were still following the plan, but that seemingly fueled his ire.
Diavolo
Initially mortified upon receiving Lucifer's texts best summarized with a simple "A heads up would have been nice, but we'll be professional."
Didn't mean to ask so much of the brothers. (Regardless of whether someone's human, an angel, a demon, ect, it's kinda hard to see someone identical to a dead loved one)
Takes you out as often as he can under the guise of learning about humans.
While that's half truth, he feels a bit guilty for bringing you to live with Lucifer and his brothers when you're so like (Name)
Once the initial panic is over and everyone seems to be dealing with everything better, he calms down a bit and begins actually inviting you over to check on you and to learn what the witch raised Mc knows.
That said, he finds you so... Sad.
And when your doubts slip out, he can't help but feel sad for you.
In your defense, as you grow to be better friends, you'll sometimes find yourselves in a vicious cycle of Diavolo getting a bit sad for you and you getting sad for him which makes him a bit sadder for you which makes...
In short, you have a guaranteed friend who knows a thing or two about loneliness and makes sure that both you and the brothers are ok with everything
Barbatos
He immediately finds there's something suspicious about you, but not for the reasons you'd think.
It's like you're almost completely out of sight for him.
He can't tell exactly where this situation is going and most he can tell will happen in regards to you is you making a new D&D character or some similar inconsequential activity.
It's... Odd.
Nonetheless, he's polite to you, even if he finds it odd.
Like, who'd go to these lengths to hide just any human?
There has to be something about you.
Other than odd, Barbatos genuinely finds you a bit depressing.
He even sometimes feels like there's a greater weight on his shoulders when you're around.
You probably don't mean to, he knows that much considering how often you offer to help him
You know something's up with Barbatos because of offhand comments from others.
What exactly is it? You're not so sure.
Simeon
He has to do a double take.
"(Name)?"
Who?
"Oh, you're the other human exchange student. Sorry about that. You look like someone I know."
Simeon thinks the situation is eerie as hell.
He knows that (Name) died. He'd been informed about it.
But seeing you, Mc, has thrown him off.
It's almost like looking at the quirky errand angel with the lopsided halo again.
He kinda misses them, now...
At least you think he misses this (Name).
He seemed sad when you weren't who he thought you were.
Luke
Immediately takes a bit of a liking to you
"You look like someone I've seen back home!"
He mentioned a few things about them.
Like how they were an errand angel
Or how it was weird that their halo was lopsided
But other than that, he didn't seem to really know them, just think it's cool that you look like someone from the Celestial Realm
Besides that, Luke thinks you're so...
Sad.
He makes time to bake for you every few days.
He can't stand seeing you look sad!
It's sweet of him, but you've resorted to sharing the treats with everyone at the House of Lamentation due to the large amount of treats Luke bakes.
He means well and it always makes you smile, even if you won't be able to eat all the sweets om your own.
Solomon
To say he's curious and interested in you is an understatement.
You've made an impact on some of the most powerful demons there are
There HAS to be something about you that caused that.
At least, he thought you did something or maybe even knew something until Asmo called him one night.
That call was almost all tears and barely understandable babble on Asmo's end, but Solomon pieced enough together to get a rough idea of what's going on.
And he feels bad for those affected.
Seeing someone you loved in front of you only for them to not be who you thought they were?
That's just painful.
Other than that, he just finds you... Odd?
No, there's something off about you, but it doesn't really seem to be you that's quite odd.
He does, thankfully, offer you his friendship.
Partially to help his demonic friends out, partially because you REALLY seem to need a friend.
Really.
You make him sad, sometimes.
Please accept his friendship.
Other than what you've heard *cough*shadywizard*cough, Solomon seems kind.
A bit shady, yes, but that might be your trusting side trying to trust what others told you.
That or maybe it's his aesthetic? You can ask Asmo, later.

Lilith = MC
AU Headcanons
Intervention
Asmo watched as Belphie slept on the couch.
He was so upset at him!
This much stress was going to ruin his perfect skin!
How could he be so heartless...!
Ever since you told everyone you wanted to be called MC, Belphie had been avoiding you.
And everything else for that matter.
Lucifer was about to take away all his pillows if he skipped school again!
And for a while it seemed like this new behavior was for the best.
Mammon at least agreed that it was.
"Asmo, they're terrified of him! Just let him avoid them, so what?"
But Asmo wasn't having it.
His two baby siblings...!
Some of the cutest (after him) people he knew!
They were going to get permanent wrinkles if they kept frowning like that.
But it was true that just the mention of Belphie made you tremble, and not in a good way, Asmo noted.
"What are you talking about everything's fine. Lilith needs time... I'll give Lilith time."
Asmo blinked at him.
Grabbing onto his face he sighed and spoke up.
"Belphie, sweetie, no. Not Lilith, MC."
"But they are Lilith, though. I don't see the problem?"
Asmo sighed again, this time longer and deeper.
"Belphie. What if Lilith had felt that she was a person called, oh, I don't know, 'Satoshi', to give an example. And imagine this happened when we were still angels... What would you have done if the simple mention of the name Lilith caused them pain?"
Belphie squinted his eyes in annoyance.
"That's not the same thing, Asmo. This isn't the situation here. They are Lilith, they just don't remember."
Asmo thought for a moment.
Okay so maybe that wasn't the best example...
But he had hoped that at least that explanation would get him to stop calling them "Lilith".
Though it didn't adress the main issue...
This wasn't just about the name...
MC was pretty much an entirely different person than Lilith. Calling them by a different name wasn't the main issue.
It was the fact that everyone, or at least Belphie, expected them to be Lilith.
He saw them as Lilith.
But they didn't have the same memories or experiences that Lilith did...
Not really at least.
They were a different person now.
If this was just a case of an identity, instead of an entire being...
Then again, it might still be just as difficult.
Asmo rolled his eyes.
"Belphie. You're coming with me."
"Huh? What? Asmo, let go!"
Asmo dragged Belphie along and as soon as he saw another one of his brothers he gave him a look.
It was time for plan B.
Eventually, Belphie was dragged up into the attic.
He was now being surrounded by all his brothers.
Belphie was angry. Really angry.
What. The. Hell.
Beel spoke first, "Belphie, calm down. We're only here because we don't want MC to hear this."
Belphie raised an eyebrow.
Satan spoke next, "Belphie, they're terrified of coming up here. They can't even look at the stairs..."
There was a small squeak in the room.
Probably the floorboards.
And Belphie calmed down a bit, glaring at the floor.
"Fine. Talk. "
It was a heavy and uncomfortable conversation.
None of them were exactly experts on feelings and emotions like these.
Fortunately it didn't take long to get through to Belphie.
It seemed he just needed a push to get over his denial.
Tears rolled down his cheeks as he spoke in a small voice, "I wanted to pretend I hadn't done anything... How could I do something so horrible! All I wanted was to get Lilith back and I... She'll never forgive me."
Asmo got closer to Belphie gently and Beel was already hugging him.
Asmo smiled sadly at him, "Maybe you can start by calling them 'MC'."
Belphie grit his teeth and looked at the floor.
He nodded reluctantly.
As the brothers made their way out of the attic, Lucifer was the last to exit.
He looked back at a pile of pillows and blankets on the floor with a neutral expression.
And then he followed his brothers, descending the stairs.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay...
You needed to stop saying 'okay'.
This entire last week you kept getting "presents".
Your homework was done for you.
Your bed was made for you.
Candy was on your drawer.
A glass of milk was ready for you when you couldn't sleep.
Someone was watching you.
Watching and helping(?) while still keeping his distance.
You knew exactly who it was.
After going to the attic one day, in an attempt to work through your fear, you heard footsteps approaching.
You panicked and hid behind some pillows.
Thankfully no one had seen you.
But you'd heard everything.
And you felt so bad.
You didn't want to be afraid of Belphie...!
But you couldn't help it.
You weren't even mad anymore.
You were just sad.
You woke up with a start.
Sitting up in your bed, you did your best to control your sobs.
You'd had a very vivid nightmare.
"The only reason I let you live was because you were Lilith..."
You hated the fact that you believed that.
You just wanted to pretend that that wasn't it.
But it was, wasn't it.
The only reason you were alive was because you had been someone Belphie cared about in a past life.
Your sobs increased and your bedroom door slid open hesitantly.
"MC...?" he whispered.
That voice almost made you jump out of your skin.
Belphie cringed when he noticed and was about to leave when,
"N--! N-no! B-belphie... Wait..." You forced yourself to say.
And he did, closing the door behind him, but not moving more than that.
"Are you sure? You... You're shaking."
That last sentence was more to himself than to you.
It was filled with regret and remorse.
You only nodded, not able to find your voice again.
"I'm sorry... For what I did."
You nodded again.
"Belphie..." You whispered.
"Hm?"
And so you asked him what was worrying you.
To your horror he looked away and didn't answer.
"I can't say that you being Lilith had nothing to do with it..."
"Oh."
"But I'm starting to understand that you're not... You're not her."
You felt sick again.
Like everytime someone called you Lilith.
But this time it was different.
"But that's not exactly true either... I am her I guess... In a way..."
Belphie nodded before speaking again.
"That may be the reason I accepted you at first... But now I want to learn to accept the new you. I want to get to know 'MC'. Because whether you're Lilith or not... You're my sibling."
You nodded silently, staring at your bedsheets.
Belphie, awkwardly started to walk away.
But you stopped him.
"...stay..."
You wanted to hug him, but that was definitely still too scary.
So you settled for resting your head on his shoulder and holding his hand as you both fell asleep.
You didn't have any nightmares after that.
You did have a nice dream about what you assumed to be a memory from your time as Lilith.
And even though you couldn't remember it exactly...
It made you feel less afraid.
"OH MY GOSH! LOOK AT THIS PICTURE!!! SATAN! LOOK!~"
"Asmo, what the hell, it's the middle of the night!"
"Oh, come on, we both know you were reading, not sleeping. Look at this picture!"
Satan sighed and agreed.
It was a picture of you and Belphie, asleep in your bed together.
"Okay, I'll admit it's kinda cute..."
"'Kinda?!' This is the most adorable thing I've ever seen outside of a mirror, I mean look at them!!"
Asmo's eyes were practically hearts and Satan knew better than to disagree with him.
"Yeah, okay, you're right. Now can you leave?"
But Asmo was already halfway to the door.
"Oh~! This is gonna get so many likes on Devilgram!!"
Satan rolled his eyes and went back to his book.

AQUA HERE.
Neither Chibi nor I realized that Asmo was missing!!! I've fixed it now!!! Apologies!!!!
Lilith = MC
AU Headcanons
Your name
Despite how it unnerved you, you allowed the brothers to continue calling you Lilith.
But it was honestly starting to make you feel sick.
You didn't hate the name at all, that wasn't it.
But every time they called you Lilith, it felt to you like they were seeing someone else.
They were seeing their Lilith, instead of who you were now.
But how could you go about telling them?
You just couldn't bring yourself to do that.
Mammon
You had hid in your room all day.
You weren't feeling up to social interaction.
You were pretty sure your sobbing would have made it hard to interact anyways.
You were under the covers when you heard the door swing open without any knocking first.
"Yo! Lil--"
You heard him hesitate and you did your best to cover up your crying.
Although it was too late for that now.
You felt Mammon kneel at your bedside and speak in a softer than usual (still loud) voice.
"MC, what's wrong?!"
You almost chocked on air from the surprise.
You tentatively removed the comforter from your face and looked at him with teary eyes.
"You called me MC."
His eyes widened a bit before he closed them and looked to the side, rubbing his neck sheepishly in embarrassment.
"Well, yeah. Ya seem so uncomfortable whenever we call you Lilith so I figured I'd--"
But you didn't let him finish, before throwing your arms around his neck in a hug.
You were still crying and he, after his initial shock, started rubbing your back.
You wanted to say something, but you just couldn't.
So Mammon spoke first.
"Why didn't ya say somethin' sooner?"
"You... You all seemed so happy! I couldn't ruin that! But it's just... I can't..."
"I'll let the others know."
"No! ...I should do it."
You hugged him a while longer as your sobs receded.
"Mammon?"
"Mm?"
"You're the best big brother ever."
He didn't answer, but you were sure he was flustered.
Leviathan
"Yo! Levi! Open up!"
You had asked Mammon to help you tell the others.
Just because you had to do it, didn't mean you had to do it alone.
"I'm busy!"
"Don't make me break down the door again!"
"Wait!"
You heard shuffling inside the room before the door cracked open slightly.
Levi looked displeased, until he saw you and his entire demeanor brightened.
"Oh, MC-- Ah, I mean Lilith? That's what we're supposed to call you now, right?"
Mammon was ready to talk for you if you needed it, but you were fine just having the moral support.
For now at least.
"Levi!" You suddenly yelled, startling the two brothers.
You hugged him without warning and he immediately tensed up.
You asked him how he knew you wanted to be called MC.
He then went into a lengthy explanation about and anime with an extremely convoluted title, in which the protagonist loses her memory and starts a new life but her sisters find her and then they have to accept that their sister is someone different now. But really that was the peak of the show, because after that they integrated aliens and that came out of nowhere. Also the production quality lessened as the show dragged on and--
"Levi, do ya ever shut up?!"
Levi did after that, although you could tell he was glaring at Mammon whenever you weren't looking.
You were just glad this whole name debacle had been sorted out with two of them already.
Satan
He greeted you with the name Lilith as you entered the library.
After the first glance he had turned his attention back to his book.
So you went to his table and stood across from him, putting your hand on his book to lower it from his eyes.
That was a risky move.
Good thing he was in a good mood.
He looked at you confused and slightly annoyed.
You chuckled sheepishly and told him, "Could you call me 'MC', actually?"
He looked at you for a second, studying your expression.
"Yeah, sure."
You gaped at him.
"That easily?"
Like he wasn't even going to question it?
He sighed and put his book down.
"I... never really knew Lilith. Well, you, before. My memories of her are memories I retain from Lucifer."
He scowled at that last part, the slight shift in his aura gave you the hint that this was the time to walk away.
"Well, I'll let you get back to reading. Thanks, Satan."
Beelzebub
Mammon put a hand on your shoulder as you hesitated to open the door.
You gave a jolt, startled.
"Woah, hey. What's the matter?"
You didn't answer him.
You just stared at your feet.
After a while, he moved away and turned to the door.
"Yo, Beel! You in there alone?"
Beel opened the door quietly and nodded at Mammon.
You were frantically wanting to stop this entire thing from happening, but Beel spotted you before you could flee.
"Lillith!" he smiled at you warmly.
"H-hi..."
After a charged silence, Mammon spoke up again.
"Let's sit down, 'kay?"
You were trembling.
You started crying as you spoke, still not looking anywhere but the floor.
You told him how you felt, apologizing every other sentence, but you couldn't bring yourself to look at him.
He was so close to Lil-- you.
You were afraid of hurting him.
"MC." Beel spoke gently.
He knelt infront of you and continued speaking.
"Whatever your name is doesn't change the fact that you're my little sibling and I love you."
You finally looked at him.
His expression was pained, but it seemed not as if you'd hurt him.
It seemed as if he was hurt by seeing you in pain.
You threw your arms around him and he hugged you back.
For the first time today, as you closed your eyes and enjoyed the embrace, you didn't feel that disconnected from Lilith.
It almost felt... As if you were back home.
Belphegor
"Have you told Belphie yet...?"
Beel's words made your heart leap into your throat.
Your trembling got worse without you noticing and you couldn't seem to find words.
Even when you did, speaking felt nearly impossible.
You just fidgeted uncomfortably as your two brothers looked at you worriedly, unsure of what to do.
Giving up on using your voice, you shook your head.
Beel looked at Mammon and Mammon shook his head.
"Can't you just tell 'im, Beel?"
Beel looked back at you before answering Mammon's question.
He looked as if he wanted to say something, but he restrained himself.
Just as he was about to agree, you spoke up, "He should hear it from me..."
You could tell Beel agreed somewhat, but Mammon definitely didn't.
"No. Nah ah! No way. I ain't letting ya get close to him."
"Mammon." Beel started.
"Look at you. You're shakin' just thinking about it."
He wasn't wrong.
The thought of approaching Belphie terrified you.
But you felt horrible that it did...
And yet, you couldn't change it.
Beel finally nodded resolutely.
"It's okay, MC, I'll tell him."
Lucifer
You shook your head frantically as you stood in front of Lucifer's bedroom door.
"You gotta do this, MC. Look, I'll be right here with ya! If he does anything, I'll beat him up!"
"Who is going to be beating who, now?"
You watched as the color drained from Mammon's face and he turned around.
"Lucifer, my favorite big brother! Heh heh..."
"Um, Lucifer?" You interrupted before Mammon could continue digging his own grave.
"MC."
Your eyes widened as you looked at him.
He smiled, that sinisterly smug smile of his, "Don't look so surprised. Satan, told me everything." his face twisted into one of displeasure, "He seemed to be under the assumption that you might be to scared to approach me... Is that true?"
When you didn't answer, he actually looked sad.
"Mammon, give us a moment."
"Uh, I don't think--"
"Maaaammooon."
"Yes, sir! ...I'll be right outside." He shot you an apologetic glace and let you enter the room alone with Lucifer.
You shuffled your feet awkwardly.
"MC." After not receiving a response, he sighed, "I am sorry. Truly. I've hurt you, scared you, threatened you... I've almost killed you." His voice sounded forced, as if he was using all his energy to convince himself to apologize.
Well, he was the Avatar of Pride after all.
"I understand if you're uncomfortable around me."
You shook your head, "I don't want to be... It's just a lot to get used to... I don't feel like... Like I'm Lilith. And I know I'm disappointing all of you. And yeah, I guess I'm kinda still unsettled by some of the things that have happened."
"Let's get one thing straight." he said sternly, "You are not disappointing anyone. The fact that you're here alone is more that what we could have asked for."
You hesitated before speaking again in a small voice, "But what if I wasn't Lilith."
Silence, again. For the nth time today, silence filled your surroundings.
Until Lucifer spoke again, "Whoever you are, whatever your name may be, you became part of this family long before we knew you as Lilith."
You were still unsure, but hugged him nonetheless.
You wanted to believe him.
You wanted to believe that they liked you for you, and not because you were once Lilith.
Asmodeus
You had gone to your room.
You were exhausted.
You felt like you were forgetting something.
Oh well.
You'd figure it out tomorrow.
As you were drifting off to sleep...
SLAM!
The door to your room burst open giving you quite a fright.
"OH MY GOSH! MC~ WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL MEEE..."
Asmo was already clinging to you like a koala.
You were so sleepy you didn't really realize what he was talking about until--
Oh, shit.
So that's what you forgot!
In your defense, Asmo had been out all day shopping and partying.
But then again...
Asmo had mostly been calling you MC instead of Lilith.
His reasoning was that MC was such a pretty name he couldn't bare to not use it.
In reality, he was more aware of other's feelings than immediately apparent.
Well...
At least when it came to you:
His "adorable little sibling~"
"I, uh, I forgot..." You squeaked out embarrassed, voice losing strength with each word.
Asmo's overdramatic gasp and pout only made you feel guiltier.
"I can not believe you!"
He crossed his arms and looked away.
You panicked.
"I'm sooo, so sorry Asmoooo...!"
But he didn't budge.
So you threw your arms around him.
"Asmo... Pleeease...!!"
Little did you know, you'd played right into Asmo's hands.
Soon you found yourself being cuddle with by your older brother.
He nuzzled his cheek next to yours and giggled, "Oh, I could never be mad at you, hun~"
You were confused to say the least.
"Then what was--"
"Ah, ah. Still! You gotta make it up to me!"
You were kinda worried to be honest.
Thankfully what he wanted was actually quite wholesome.
"I'm going to cuddle with you aaall night! And you're not allowed to be sad, because your big brother loves you, 'kay?"
He pretended to be taking advantage of the situation to have you all to himself.
And maybe he was.
But you could see right through him.
He could tell today had been hard for you.
And he wanted to make sure you were alright.
He also wanted to be able to see your cute, little, sleepy face when you woke up!~
Oooh!!~ You were just sooo cute he never wanted to let you go!!
Whether your name was MC or Lilith...
You'd been his sibling since the moment he realized you were the most amazing person ever!
(After him, of course.)
You also being Lilith was just a bonus!
Epilogue
Belphie had been staring at the stars before going up to his bedroom.
When he got there, he saw Beel waiting for him.
Beel looked tense. Food nowhere in sight.
Belphie was taken aback momentarily before entering.
"Beel?"
"Belphie."
Nothing.
"Are you going to tell me what's up or can I go to sleep?"
"MC doesn't want to be called Lilith anymore. I saw how much it hurt them to be called that."
Belphie thought for a moment, looking at his feet.
"Did they tell you that themselves?"
Beel reluctantly nodded.
"Oh." Was Belphie's only answer.
He wordlessly got into his bed and turned his back towards Beel's bed.
Beel knew better than to press the issue. Even though he felt it would have been a good idea to make sure Belphie understood.
But he was almost afraid of approaching Belphie himself.
It was odd.
He was his twin.
But Belphie had an explosive temper when it came to things he was really passionate about.
And he thought that maybe the best way to deal with this situation was to just let Belphie think it over silently for a while.
He'd talk to him in the morning.

Lilith = MC
AU Headcanons
Your name
Despite how it unnerved you, you allowed the brothers to continue calling you Lilith.
But it was honestly starting to make you feel sick.
You didn't hate the name at all, that wasn't it.
But every time they called you Lilith, it felt to you like they were seeing someone else.
They were seeing their Lilith, instead of who you were now.
But how could you go about telling them?
You just couldn't bring yourself to do that.
Mammon
You had hid in your room all day.
You weren't feeling up to social interaction.
You were pretty sure your sobbing would have made it hard to interact anyways.
You were under the covers when you heard the door swing open without any knocking first.
"Yo! Lil--"
You heard him hesitate and you did your best to cover up your crying.
Although it was too late for that now.
You felt Mammon kneel at your bedside and speak in a softer than usual (still loud) voice.
"MC, what's wrong?!"
You almost chocked on air from the surprise.
You tentatively removed the comforter from your face and looked at him with teary eyes.
"You called me MC."
His eyes widened a bit before he closed them and looked to the side, rubbing his neck sheepishly in embarrassment.
"Well, yeah. Ya seem so uncomfortable whenever we call you Lilith so I figured I'd--"
But you didn't let him finish, before throwing your arms around his neck in a hug.
You were still crying and he, after his initial shock, started rubbing your back.
You wanted to say something, but you just couldn't.
So Mammon spoke first.
"Why didn't ya say somethin' sooner?"
"You... You all seemed so happy! I couldn't ruin that! But it's just... I can't..."
"I'll let the others know."
"No! ...I should do it."
You hugged him a while longer as your sobs receded.
"Mammon?"
"Mm?"
"You're the best big brother ever."
He didn't answer, but you were sure he was flustered.
Leviathan
"Yo! Levi! Open up!"
You had asked Mammon to help you tell the others.
Just because you had to do it, didn't mean you had to do it alone.
"I'm busy!"
"Don't make me break down the door again!"
"Wait!"
You heard shuffling inside the room before the door cracked open slightly.
Levi looked displeased, until he saw you and his entire demeanor brightened.
"Oh, MC-- Ah, I mean Lilith? That's what we're supposed to call you now, right?"
Mammon was ready to talk for you if you needed it, but you were fine just having the moral support.
For now at least.
"Levi!" You suddenly yelled, startling the two brothers.
You hugged him without warning and he immediately tensed up.
You asked him how he knew you wanted to be called MC.
He then went into a lengthy explanation about and anime with an extremely convoluted title, in which the protagonist loses her memory and starts a new life but her sisters find her and then they have to accept that their sister is someone different now. But really that was the peak of the show, because after that they integrated aliens and that came out of nowhere. Also the production quality lessened as the show dragged on and--
"Levi, do ya ever shut up?!"
Levi did after that, although you could tell he was glaring at Mammon whenever you weren't looking.
You were just glad this whole name debacle had been sorted out with two of them already.
Satan
He greeted you with the name Lilith as you entered the library.
After the first glance he had turned his attention back to his book.
So you went to his table and stood across from him, putting your hand on his book to lower it from his eyes.
That was a risky move.
Good thing he was in a good mood.
He looked at you confused and slightly annoyed.
You chuckled sheepishly and told him, "Could you call me 'MC', actually?"
He looked at you for a second, studying your expression.
"Yeah, sure."
You gaped at him.
"That easily?"
Like he wasn't even going to question it?
He sighed and put his book down.
"I... never really knew Lilith. Well, you, before. My memories of her are memories I retain from Lucifer."
He scowled at that last part, the slight shift in his aura gave you the hint that this was the time to walk away.
"Well, I'll let you get back to reading. Thanks, Satan."
Beelzebub
Mammon put a hand on your shoulder as you hesitated to open the door.
You gave a jolt, startled.
"Woah, hey. What's the matter?"
You didn't answer him.
You just stared at your feet.
After a while, he moved away and turned to the door.
"Yo, Beel! You in there alone?"
Beel opened the door quietly and nodded at Mammon.
You were frantically wanting to stop this entire thing from happening, but Beel spotted you before you could flee.
"Lillith!" he smiled at you warmly.
"H-hi..."
After a charged silence, Mammon spoke up again.
"Let's sit down, 'kay?"
You were trembling.
You started crying as you spoke, still not looking anywhere but the floor.
You told him how you felt, apologizing every other sentence, but you couldn't bring yourself to look at him.
He was so close to Lil-- you.
You were afraid of hurting him.
"MC." Beel spoke gently.
He knelt infront of you and continued speaking.
"Whatever your name is doesn't change the fact that you're my little sibling and I love you."
You finally looked at him.
His expression was pained, but it seemed not as if you'd hurt him.
It seemed as if he was hurt by seeing you in pain.
You threw your arms around him and he hugged you back.
For the first time today, as you closed your eyes and enjoyed the embrace, you didn't feel that disconnected from Lilith.
It almost felt... As if you were back home.
Belphegor
"Have you told Belphie yet...?"
Beel's words made your heart leap into your throat.
Your trembling got worse without you noticing and you couldn't seem to find words.
Even when you did, speaking felt nearly impossible.
You just fidgeted uncomfortably as your two brothers looked at you worriedly, unsure of what to do.
Giving up on using your voice, you shook your head.
Beel looked at Mammon and Mammon shook his head.
"Can't you just tell 'im, Beel?"
Beel looked back at you before answering Mammon's question.
He looked as if he wanted to say something, but he restrained himself.
Just as he was about to agree, you spoke up, "He should hear it from me..."
You could tell Beel agreed somewhat, but Mammon definitely didn't.
"No. Nah ah! No way. I ain't letting ya get close to him."
"Mammon." Beel started.
"Look at you. You're shakin' just thinking about it."
He wasn't wrong.
The thought of approaching Belphie terrified you.
But you felt horrible that it did...
And yet, you couldn't change it.
Beel finally nodded resolutely.
"It's okay, MC, I'll tell him."
Lucifer
You shook your head frantically as you stood in front of Lucifer's bedroom door.
"You gotta do this, MC. Look, I'll be right here with ya! If he does anything, I'll beat him up!"
"Who is going to be beating who, now?"
You watched as the color drained from Mammon's face and he turned around.
"Lucifer, my favorite big brother! Heh heh..."
"Um, Lucifer?" You interrupted before Mammon could continue digging his own grave.
"MC."
Your eyes widened as you looked at him.
He smiled, that sinisterly smug smile of his, "Don't look so surprised. Satan, told me everything." his face twisted into one of displeasure, "He seemed to be under the assumption that you might be to scared to approach me... Is that true?"
When you didn't answer, he actually looked sad.
"Mammon, give us a moment."
"Uh, I don't think--"
"Maaaammooon."
"Yes, sir! ...I'll be right outside." He shot you an apologetic glace and let you enter the room alone with Lucifer.
You shuffled your feet awkwardly.
"MC." After not receiving a response, he sighed, "I am sorry. Truly. I've hurt you, scared you, threatened you... I've almost killed you." His voice sounded forced, as if he was using all his energy to convince himself to apologize.
Well, he was the Avatar of Pride after all.
"I understand if you're uncomfortable around me."
You shook your head, "I don't want to be... It's just a lot to get used to... I don't feel like... Like I'm Lilith. And I know I'm disappointing all of you. And yeah, I guess I'm kinda still unsettled by some of the things that have happened."
"Let's get one thing straight." he said sternly, "You are not disappointing anyone. The fact that you're here alone is more that what we could have asked for."
You hesitated before speaking again in a small voice, "But what if I wasn't Lilith."
Silence, again. For the nth time today, silence filled your surroundings.
Until Lucifer spoke again, "Whoever you are, whatever your name may be, you became part of this family long before we knew you as Lilith."
You were still unsure, but hugged him nonetheless.
You wanted to believe him.
You wanted to believe that they liked you for you, and not because you were once Lilith.
Asmodeus
You had gone to your room.
You were exhausted.
You felt like you were forgetting something.
Oh well.
You'd figure it out tomorrow.

SLAM!
The door to your room burst open giving you quite a fright.

You panicked.
"I'm sooo, so sorry Asmoooo...!"
But he didn't budge.
So you threw your arms around him.
"Asmo... Pleeease...!!"
Little did you know, you'd played right into Asmo's hands.
Soon you found yourself being cuddle with by your older brother.
He nuzzled his cheek next to yours and giggled, "Oh, I could never be mad at you, hun~"
You were confused to say the least.
"Then what was--"

Does (name) get to reunite with anyone? Do they get to see Lilith as a human? The endless possibilities :D
I have questions and Im kinda excited to see if any of them have answers. This story idea has my creativity going, I love it :)
you don't have to respond to this, also have a nice day
Hi! I won't give away too much, but this will definitely be a series to go alongside the Lilith=Mc series! (Only different authors and different aus, y'know?) Aqua will be the main mastermind for the Lilith Mc series while I'm in charge of Demon Mc, but that doesn't change the fact that we talk about the story before posting it (It's actually thanks to Aqua we have such wonderful moments such as (Name) and Mammon pranking Michael and him sometimes being aware of it and Lilith crying more than (Name) scraping their knee when learning to fly!)
Before I fly too close to the sun and spoil something, I'd actually like to take this moment to thank you guys for reading our headcanons and the series headcanons we've each taken command of! Seeing you guys like and reblog our posts is amazing! And seeing you guys request things or just send asks telling us you liked something or it made you smile is a treat! We promise we've read everything and have started discussing who writes what and how would X go with Y! Inspiration hits at different times, but you guys are definitely on our minds!
Lots of love and a lovely day to you all!

Demon! Mc Headcanons:
Celestial beginnings and roots of despair
Note: the use of (Name) over Mc is deliberate. Feel free to pick a different name
Lucifer
If anyone had a workload that could almost rival his, it was you.
"(Name), you can't possibly do all of this in a day and still rest well."
You just want to help, y'know?
But he won't let you overwork yourself like that.
You're still young and some people can wait a little longer for their deliveries, so slow down, (Name).
So he found an interesting game for you.
A special one that made use of 20, 12, 8, 6, 4 sided dice and percentile dice.
Just in hopes of freeing up your schedule a bit and keeping you from just agreeing to what everyone else wanted to do
Mammon
Your Partner in crime
Almost literally
You guys just play pranks on others, when he isn't agreeing to most games you ask him to play with you
Of course, you try to pick games you both like
The paint bucket on the doorframe was fun! It wasn't intended just for Michael, but it was glorious!
Of course, that meant you two were grounded.
Mammon had to take your workload on top of his own and you couldn't play outside.
Harsh to both of you, but you loved moments like these with him, so it really was worth it
"(Name), can I borrow your shortcut map? There's no way I can make some of tomorrow's deliveries without it!"
Of course, you were in charge of being the getaway, even if sometimes it felt like Michael was letting you guys go rather than being surprised about the pranks
He taught you how to walk quietly so you could prank others or sneak a snack at midnight
Leviathan
You loved your gamer brother
You hated you guys couldn't agree sometimes on where to play.
Of course, though, Leviathan learned quickly how to mix things so you guys could spend time in a way you both enjoyed.
Crafts were done outside
We're playing house? That's an inside game, then
We're playing Magical Girls? That's an outside game, but only for you, (Name).
Gaming? He'd hand you the guide of a game he already beat and start it anew so you could help him 100% it again.
"(Name), do you want to help me play First Fantasy: 7? We still have a boss to beat!"
He made you better at math through calculating stats and damage.
Satan
/////////////////////
Asmodeus
The one thing standing between you and lack of self care
"(Name), you could be one of the prettiest people that exist, but we won't know that if you don't take care of yourself!"
The first hair brushing session sucked for both of you.
So. Many. Knots!!!!!
You tried asking Lilith to hide you, but she brushed your hair that night, instead.
So back to Asmo you went and it gradually became your bonding experience.
Of course, mostly because he knew what he was doing and brushed your hair every morning and night so you could manage it better.
Almost cried when you said you could brush your hair now, but you preferred when he did it.
Beelzebub
A bit sneakier at making sure you take less jobs by hiding some of the low priority jobs from you
Also the one making sure you actually eat
"(Name), did you eat, yet? I packed you some snacks, but you shouldn't skip a meal to finish your work."
Also very good at making sure you have fun.
You want to play Magical Girls with Levi and him? He's in
You want to go on a hike? Beel will get the water bottles
You just need a hug? He's already on it.
Also also, move over, Belphie, (Name) is baby and they said they want a piggyback ride.
You guys just have a silent agreement, sometimes, especially because who wants to walk home after running around all day?
Belphegor
Affection between you two is fun.
Insults, gentle headbutting, play fighting, it's all game.
"*sigh* You're such a baby, (Name). Come here."
It's rare to see more cute types of affection between you, to many people's worry
In truth, you two enjoy worrying others with your quirky affection.
Although, sometimes play fights do get out of hand, so you two ended up being upfront about how you guys still love each other.
You have also successfully kicked him and Lilith out of a cuddle pile with Beel and remained the sole victor of the premium cuddles
Lilith
Lilith is your cool older sister, except for when you get mildly hurt and she ends up in hysterics over it.
Honestly, you wouldn't have it any other way.
One of your favorite stories is about the time you were learning to fly.
You ended falling and scrapping your knee, but Lilith cried more than you did.
Lucifer almost had a heart attack seeing Lilith crying hysterically until she managed to say you scrapped your knee.
"(N-Name) fell- and- and-! And they scr-scraped the-ir knee!"
And there wasn't even any blood.
Lilith would also rally Belphie to join you, Levi, and Beel whenever you guys played Magical Girls
She had to earn her coolness points somehow after the flying incident
Simeon
Hey, so, guess who taught you to call Lucifer "Lucy"?
"Ok, (Name). It's time someone taught you a little secret. Did you know that Lucifer also has a nickname?"
To be honest, he kinda always felt like your brothers' friend.
Not that you particularly minded.
Simeon always had a joke or a small thing for you to do when he was around to hang out with Lucifer
At least you hoped it was them hanging out and not working
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This... This wasn't the end you were hoping for.
You heard them talking about their plans. You knew they'd use your shortcuts if things went wrong.
You also knew that you could outrun almost everyone and be a decoy.
And that's just what you did.
The fall was nowhere near pleasant.
Especially ending up in some thorny bushes.
Alone.
Staggering around, you tried to find your siblings, but all you could see were trees.
Trees east
Trees to the north
Trees down south
Trees on the west
Your heart raced and your breathing got faster as panic built up inside you.
'Where are they?!'
'Where are they?!'
'WHERE ARE THEY?!'
Soon, not even the bushes were in sight.
Just trees, trees, trees, and trees.
Despair set root and all you could do is wail until you fell asleep from the day you had and from crying so much.
And then...
Lines began to blur and voices began to fade.
Why were you crying again?
You asked yourself as you stared at the stone wall in front of you.
No matter.
The witches raising you might know.
You're probably just stressed about how they'll be testing you tomorrow on the basics of magic... Again.
Yes, that must be it.
Stress is showing you the same dream again.
One where people with blurred faces call you their "sibling".
One where you know what they're saying to you, but their voices aren't making a sound.
Stop.
You have to study that spell again.
The one that keeps giving you trouble.
You'll pass the test.
You'll pass it, this time.

Lilith = MC
AU Headcanons
Revelation
Warning: spoilers for lesson 16
(Note from Aqua before we begin: I'm not necessarily writing these in a specific order so if you want to see headcanons for this AU based on anything specific [lessons, pop quizzes, other random scenarios...], including lessons 1 - lesson 16, let me know! No promises I'll be able to do everything you request, but feel free to request either way. If Chibi and I can come up with something good for your requests then we'll do our best to write headcanons for them!)
As the days passed by the dreams got more intense.
Not only that, but the dreams were showing up in your waking hours too.
You would be doing something and without warning you would be somewhere else.
It was all in your head but it was still concerning.
These daydreams happened even more strongly whenever you made a pact with one of the demon brothers.
Mammon: You dreamt of sharing a bed with one of the brothers from your dreams because he had had a nightmare and you wanted to help him feel safe like he always made you feel.
Levi: You dreamt of bringing boxes of mangas back home, so you could read together with one of your dream-bros.
Beel: You... Had a nightmare. You locked eyes with one of your dream-bros... As you plummeted down, wanting him to save you, but knowing that he couldn't.
Asmo: You dreamt of being forced into a chair so that one of your dream-bros could do your makeup.
Satan: This dream... Was weird. It was like you could never actually interact with one of your dream-bros... Like he was always just out of reach, watching from beyond a veil.
The dreams happened whenever you would spend time with any of them as well, but these were less common.
Although, the clearest dream memory?Dream? was one that wasn't actually about your dream-bros.
The dream was about Lucifer.
You were wounded in his arms.
You couldn't breathe.
Tears clouded your vision.
Your grip on his hand growing limp.
But you could still hear everything clearly.
Lucifer was crying, but he calmed down enough by the time he spoke to you:
"No matter how far apart we may be, no matter how much time passes, even if someday you're no longer yourself... I'll never forget you. And I'll always pray that you find happiness...always."
"...I love you, Lilith."
Lilith?
Beel had told you about her but... None of this made sense to you.
You did however accept that the brothers in your dreams somehow reflected the demon brothers in the House of Lamentation.
This much became clear when you eventually found the 7th brother, Belphegor, locked in the attic.
You could tell he was using you.
You could tell he was manipulating you.
But for some strange reason...
You wanted to help him.
Something in your soul kept screaming at you to help him.
Even after finding out he hated and wanted to destroy humans.
You still needed to help him.
So you went back in time without hesitation.
You... Opened the door... Somehow.
And when he opened his arms for a hug...
You hugged him.
...
You'll never forget the feeling.
The pain, sorrow and betrayal that followed...
Part of you felt like you knew Belphie's hug were a safe and warm embrace.
It's why you didn't question hugging him.
Then why...?
Why would he?
How could he?
You blacked out.
You heard a whisper from within you.
"You need to remember..."
Remember?
"What is your name?"
MC
"No. What is your real name?"
...
My name is
"Lilith lived! She--!"
As Belphegor approached you with the intent to kill once again you said the first thing you could think of.
"SHUT UP! How dare you speak her name?! What gives you the right?!"
"Lilith didn't die in the Great Celestial War... She was reborn as a human."
Cue shock from every resident of the House of Lamentation.
You cringed at how bad this must look for the others.
"Liar. Lies, lies, LIES. As if I could ever trust a human?!"
"It's true."
Lucifer came to your rescue, backing up your claims.
The only problem was that this Lucifer had no memory of ever sharing his side of the story.
You told him the truth, and yet he still didn't believe you.
Until Diavolo arrived to give a bit more clarity.
"MC is telling the truth."
And then he elaborated.
Confirming Lilith had been reborn as a human.
That she had no memories of her past life.
But that wasn't all.
Yes, he made it so her soul was reborn as a human, but he also used Barbatos' powers to influence when she would be reborn.
You had a life changing revelation.
One you could seldom attempt to accept.
You were the human Lilith.
But there were more than a couple reasons why that couldn't be true.
Starting with one of the most obvious: You looked nothing like her.
But apparently, as Diavolo explained, when a soul is reborn, the soul is the same, even if the vessel is different.
Regardless of your gender, race, or anything else really.
You were Lilith.
It's why you could open the door.
It's why you had dreams and memories that didn't seem to belong to you.
It's why you had to help the brothers, even if it was dangerous.
Diavolo apologized to Lucifer for not telling him sooner, but said that the only way for things to play out in the best way possible was for that truth to remain hidden.
But at that point Lucifer wasn't listening to him.
He approached you slowly and when you saw the look in his eyes, tears began streaming down your face.
This still didn't feel real, to your mind at least, but your heart seemed to believe it.
Lucifer, in a moment you thought you would never see happening ever, threw his arms around you and enveloped you into a hug.
"Lilith...!" he whispered.
His, er, your brothers followed close behind.
All except Belphie.
"...It can't be. It can't be....It can't, it can't, it can't! You're telling me Lilith wasn't dead, that she was reborn as a human...? And that this human is actually the human Lilith...?Impossible...there's just no way. I...I REFUSE to believe that...!"
You spoke before you could stop yourself...
"Belphie, I'm sorry..."
Wait. Why The Heck We're You Sorry?!
He killed you.
You were honestly afraid of him right now.
But whatever was left of the original Lilith within you wouldn't allow you to be anything but comforting right now.
That didn't mean you didn't feel uncomfortable when the others finally convinced him and he approached you.
That didn't mean you didn't flinch when he hugged you.
But you let him talk, get everything out.
Apologize for what he did.
No, specifically apologize for something you had little to no memory of.
He still didn't apologize for the events of early today.
When the moment ended and you all went into the living room, it felt awkward.
They were all doting on you; excessively so.
And you cringed at your lack of subtlety when you stood up to go change seats right as Belphie had sat down next to you.
You let the brothers do what they wanted.
After all, you couldn't really bear to ruin their happiness.
But there was one thing that didn't sit right with you.
Something that made you feel a bit sick everytime you heard it.
They kept calling you Lilith.
And that just wasn't your name.

Simeon: Sleep paralysis demon
The stories you'd read and hear about sleep paralysis were terrifying.
You never wanted it to happen to you.
Not being able to move as an evil presence watched you.
Maybe even got too close for comfort...
No
Nope
No thanks.
You expected that if it did happen, it would be a traumatic experience.
You didn't even want to imagine.
But when it did happen...
You never could have expected the demon to be so good looking.
Not that that was actually important, but it didn't hurt.
You also didn't expect for the demon to try to help you out.
The first time you encountered him, he reassured you, you were safe.
His voice calm and sweet.
The second time, he came prepared with a book.
He sat at the edge of your bed and with a kind smile, he began to read to you.
It was still scary, not being able to move.
But you knew the only thing you could do was go back to sleep.
Then once you woke up again you'd be free and the demon would be gone.
...Why did you not like the sound of that?
Being able to move was great, that's not what bothered you.
Why could you only see him if you had sleep paralysis?
That wasn't fair.
Either way, everyday, you started to look forward to the next time you would see him.

Solomon: Djinn
You should have never touched that lamp.
What's the worst that could happen you had thought?
Genies weren't real.
And if they were, this had potential to be a real life Aladdin story.
Oh, how wrong you were.
The handsome man that came out presented himself as a Djinn.
Okay so genie, djinn, same difference?
He seemed trustworthy either way.
His smile was easy.
It looked like it hid mischief, but not malevolence.
Your first wish had gone okay for the most part, yet there were some eerie implications to how it could happen.
Your second wish had been completely twisted.
Your words turned upside down and inside out, digging out every miniscule detail that could be manipulated.
It was horrible.
So you wished for it to all go away.
Oh, you should have been more specific.
Everything would go away...
Don't you worry.
Once it was you and him
Alone
In his lamp
Hidden for centuries and centuries...
Everything would be just fine.

Luke: Shape-shifter "werewolf"
As your relationship with Belphie developed, your friends from outside school grew worried.
Especially Luke.
Luke was like a little brother to you and he was really protective too.
He acted like a little guard dog from time to time.
As much as Simeon tried to get him to cool off, he couldn't.
But whenever he would get too worked up, he'd shift.
He almost hurt you a couple of times too.
He always felt super guilty and insisted on baking way more things than could possibly be healthy as an apology.
You knew he didn't mean to shift whenever he got upset.
You didn't blame him.
You'd known all about shifters since before you learned about the vampires in your school.
(It's the reason you managed to figure out the vampire thing.)
But once you became friends with the vampires, especially after learning that they were vampires...
Luke couldn't handle it.
He was so angry.
Vampires couldn't be trusted!
He'd help you see that.
So he marched his way right towards Belphie before classes started.
Belphie looked done with the whole situation since before Luke had even reached him.
You didn't want to get in the middle of it, but eventually you had to.
Because Belphie's brothers showed up and started calling Luke a chihuahua.
Word to the wise: don't call a wolf a chihuahua.
You were worried Luke might shift in the middle of the parking lot, so you grabbed him by the arm and dragged him towards the woods.
Deciding to skip school, you went to look for Simeon.
The entire time Luke was pouting.
He just wanted you to be safe.
Eventually you sighed and thanked him, but told him that you could take care of yourself.
You told him that if you were ever in trouble he'd be the first one you'd call.
"... Promise?"
"Promise."

Barbatos: Witch (Hansel and Gretel)
You were lost in the woods.
It was getting dark when the alluring aroma of pastries reached you.
Follow your nose you came upon a house.
A house seemingly made of candy.
You were kindly welcomed inside by a well dressed man holding a tray of cupcakes.
It was weird to say the least.
But you were so hungry.
So you didn't question it.
What you didn't know was that this man had been watching you since you stepped into the forest.
He had done everything in his power to lure you towards him.
Here he would pamper you.
You'd be able to feast on tea and sweets to your heart's content.
But why you, you ask.
Well that much is simple.
He opens his arms for a hug and once you were in his arms, he to a deep breath, smelling you hair.
"Just as sweet as candy..." you heard him whisper.
Alarms went off in your head, but it was too late now.
You had been ensnared.
You didn't want to leave.
But even if you did...
You couldn't leave.

Diavolo: Monster under the bed
After your encounter with the Shadow Man, as you had decided to call him, you thought things couldn't possibly get weirder.
You were so terrified that you had stared to sleep with the lights on.
Unfortunately, today the light went out.
As you shivered under your covers you heard a voice.
Not from the closet, but from somewhere under you.
"He's really not that scary once you get to know him."
This time you did scream.
What was going on?!
Arming yourself with valor you peaked out from under the covers as a wispy figure came out from under your bed.
Taking the form of a man with red hair and jovial eyes, he sat on the side of your bed.
"Sorry, to frighten you."
Turns out your room was actually sitting atop a hotspot for paranormal activity.
Which meant that these two shadowy men were hear to stay.
At least this one seemed nice enough.
Or at least he seemed to know that boundaries were a thing.
He apologized for his friend and promised to talk to him on your behalf.
He also told you that you didn't need to be afraid to turn off the lights.
You looked at him skeptically.
He admitted that with the lights on, they couldn't manifest as strongly as with the lights off, but he told you that they would never harm you.
He had a way about him that just made you trust him.
But you told him you were still afraid.
And he nodded as if he expected that answer.
"If you'll allow me, I can stay here with you during the night; make sure no harm befalls you.
You agreed hesitantly, but immediately felt calm wash over you.
You laid back down and closed your eyes, falling asleep with a friendly monster at the end of your bed.
