rating: M

summary:

sometimes, after a fight, hiding bloody palms inside the pockets of your overcoat, you would yank down the coif of your combat habit and go inside of a fast food restaurant to order a milkshake. beatrice would stand with you on a street corner with her black coffee in a to-go cup and watch you sip and stare until your hands stopped shaking.

now, camila’s touch is all that holds you together.

she takes you by the jaw only briefly. there is a steadiness in her that you do not recognise. in the light, you know, her irises are lighter than yours. reflective in the way that black marble shows you your shadow, but sharply. you do not dare to look too long into them, but you are struck by their light-drinking depth. she is not the girl you remember.

aka the one where lilith is down bad for camila

read on Ao3

chapter 7 - excerpt:

sometimes night catches the van out in the middle of nowhere and beatrice leans over the front seat in the gauze of her own exhaustion to tell shannon, ‘the halo is muttering.’

you find this incredibly creepy, but shannon always smiles.

‘is that your way of telling me i’m tired, bea?’

the little weirdo always shrugs in response, slipping back towards her seatbelt, casting a dour glance over at you even when you aren’t making a face at her. usually, with the stars wicking into existence overhead, mary is already snoring in the front seat, legs spread untidily with her unloaded shotgun next to her on the seat.

‘i can drive,’ you say, every single goddamn time, but shannon always shakes her head and flicks the indicator on when she spots an opportunity to pull off the road, gearing up to engage the four-wheel drive. the ticking of the indicator sounds like a detonator to you, counting down.

after muddying up a clearing in some forest, shannon prods mary awake, leaning out of range as her hand flails out. by the time she starts cooing at mary in a ridiculous sing-song voice you have usually flung the door of the van open, resigned to putting up the tents that are packed neatly into the rear compartment of the van.

you and beatrice sleep in the same tent and it’s never weird.

beatrice, no matter how tired she is, always brings the dynamo lantern into the tent with her. usually it’s warm, and you lie with your fancy sleeping bag flung open, watching through heavy-lidded gloom as beatrice takes out her stupid little book and reads for a precise half-hour.

you never manage to stay awake through it all, subsiding to the sound of paper shuffling against her hands and the kinetic light of the wind-up lantern.

she always wakes before you, scrambling soundlessly out of her sleeping bag and unzipping the tent, leaving the breeze to play over your face as she paces through the dewy grass outside in her bare feet, using the gas cooker to make a pot of coffee. generally you emerge tousled to find her standing with a cup balanced delicately between her palms, peering up into the canopy so the morning light falls in protracted patterns over her upturned face.

initially, when you wake up in the hazy warmth of the tent, you can never remember where you are, or who you are. for a precious instant you are not a nun and your name isn’t lilith, and you don’t know a girl called beatrice.

Patroclus

clever patroclus, beloved patroclus, poor patroclus: you do fall into madness, nor vanity, nor hubris. not, that is, for your own sake. love for that golden-haired man, sorrow for your countrymen; it is for his name that you don his armor, and for the dying greeks that you ride into battle. every piece of you is willingly given away, even if after you are gone there are wicked things done in your name.

Arachne

adept arachne, the things which you craft are born from years of careful practice, focused effort, and a drop of divine inspiration. your finished product shows the skills which you have honed over your lifetime, so take pride in that, but don't proclaim yourself a peerless artisan. and, by the gods, show humility when you've been beaten.

Icarus

what is there to be said of icarus? you were warned, yet you persisted, imprudently. but what of your first taste of liberation? the exhilaration that follows the first ray of the sun to touch you as you are, as a free man, makes you drunk on joy. we all know the foolish things that drunken people are capable of. was the fall as thrilling as the flight?

Antigone

Of Lavenders Dreams and Starry Nights

Tale 4: A Rose by Any Other Name

Tags: a bit of mood swings, nostalgia of childhood memories, mentions of MC's mother unwellness, Lilith ready to throw shit at her brothers, yeah that's it really, it's mostly wholesome.

While in the house of Lamentations the usual chaos took it's place sounded quite hum of a lullaby through the garden, almost harmonizing with the sound of the crows and other wild animals of the devildom. In a rather tucked away corner the exchange student worked in a greenhouse, granted after behaving well and keeping the younger brothers in check by the eldest of the house. With Icarus was, like by now usual for the half demon, the ghost of his ancestor and his self announced guardian, Lilith.

Curious as to what her "little ram" was doing the ghostly woman interrupted his humming, floating closer to the boy "What are you doing, little ram? Why are you pulling out those plants?" Looking up to his company he smiled "I'm removing weeds from my hydrangeas bed. The weeds steal the nutrition of the fertilizer I'm going to add. They also don't look so nice mixed in with the bushes" continuing to hum his tune he continued "Weeds are in someplace welcome of course, like on my wildflower bed Lavendel likrs to play in near my devilbee hive. But not by these types of beds. They also could throw off the ph of the soil, changing my hydrangeas color from this lovely purple!" Lilith laught softly. She enjoyed when the usually quiet boy opened up about his interests and hobbies like this instead of just listening or having to solve another chaotic incident caused by her brother. She frankly is herselft the cause of one of two broken expensive vases and some pictures to fall whenever her dear brothers decided to let an unfortunate event happen just to drag her little darling boy into the mess and hoping he helps them get things straight before Luci notices.

Putting those annoying thoughts rather to the side for now she let her descendent ramble about how to up keep his prized hydrangeas and what can all determine they're colors before going to the next bed of his little sanctuary. Seeing him blossom in this place like his beloved flowers made her happy about her decision to 'accidentally' place a book about how flowers and gardening can help relieve stress in humans with anxiety or depression in Lucifer's Study, right next to the half-demons flawless exam report. Good, she thought to herselft, at least he knew that the fledgling under his care doesn't have the most healthiest of mental states. Saves her the trouble of causing enough disturbings to make him check what could be the reason, him by now usually assuming its the half-demon under his roof losing control on his fickle magic.

Calmly Lilith floated behind the brunette, observing and asking questions to keep hearing the other happily share his knowledge. Standing next to his sunflowers he smiled a rather sad smile suddenly, alarming the former angel "Why the sudden mood swing, little ram?" Icarus chuckled a bit , turning his head slightly down "Oh it's just a bitter sweet memory, Lilith..sunflowers remind me of my mother and a birthday long ago.", Softly he petted one of the strong yellow petals, "My mother's name..it has to do with the sun. And she grew sunflowers every year, liking them for their strong and bright yellow color. She brought me a bouquet on my 10th birthday as part of my gift as I'm her summer baby and share her love of the flower. It was the last birthday that was really happy.", Lilith watched as her little ram took a deep breath as if to calm his head before it could drown in the memories, "With all of us siblings together too..it makes me a bit sad to think that my mom lost her shine and life drive after that, like a sunflower letting it's head hang to begin wilthing.." Faintly hugging her little ram to the best of her capabilities as a ghostly guardian while she tried to cheer him up "Oh sweet Icarus..I'm sure your mother is still be a beautiful sunflower. And she would be happy to see how beautifully you've grown these sunflowers.", Smiling she petted his always fluffed up haselnut brown hair with the purple tips, an note he added in honor of her, while trying to redirect his thoughts, "Now..how about you show me the new herbs you've planted not long ago? You said some of them are part of a curry spice mixture you need for making human world curry?"

Smiling at her attempts to distract him he nodded und walked to his herb high bed, talking about the various plants and the combination he used in his home cooked meals. Lilith softly smiled, thinking to herself that her little ram reminded her of her sweet slightly older brother that is confined in the attic of his own home. A thought for another day, Lilith. Icarus mood is more important right now., the ghostly woman reminded herself.

Later a few sunflower petals landed on Lucifer's desk directly ontop of a suddly appearing book about human world summer flowers, their meaning and and a certain yellow flowers significance to the birthmonth of July...

#a bit of a different start for once #woooow slepy #i like the concept of lilith accompaning the mc and being their little support #i also like mother hen ghost lilith making sure her brothers show her descendant some respect and giving them a bit of rest! #also yes #im working on re-wrinting abit of icarus stories #especially his appearance as i never was happy with it. #it will affect his stories #he is gonna keep his tail and im writing how he even got that tail #he is originally only a winged demon #obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me mc #mc!icarus #obey me! #obey me lilith #mc story

Can't stop thinking about Tomb Raider AU, Ava's first kill which is more of an accident really. The man on top of her, squeezing tight at her throat. A rock to the temple, maybe the broken end of one of her arrows parting the soft stretch of flesh right under his jaw. A spray of blood - arterial? - on her. Her first reaction even though he was doing his best to kill her, to try and stem the flow. A red rain on her fingers, staining her soul with the unspeakable sin of a life cut short.

Ava scrubbing her hands with whatever she can find after. The fast waters of a stream running downhill, swirling pink. Maybe it's the blood. Maybe just the sunset.

Beatrice, meanwhile, methodical and ruthless, compartmentalizing each death but still keeping score. Secret, unholy tally engraved into the back of her occipital bone, and she can almost feel each ghostly notch whenever she cups the nape of her neck, working to loosen muscles turned to stone by another night spent on the ground.

Growing more frantic as the days go by, trying to remember how many rations they put in each pack, telling herself that at least there's plenty of water. Ava has to be alive.

And then stumbling onto the place where Ava had been ambushed. Her stomach dropping when she spots the body, prone. Relief after she turns it over, her eyes alighting on the arrow that juts out of the man's throat. Gray and blue fletching that she'd recognize anywhere. She'd been the one who introduced Ava to a bow, who'd taught her how to make her own.

The arrow, a bloodied, broken compass to guide the both of them home.

Ava, who rescues rats from the bowels of the ship and lets them off on shore. who touches even Lilith so gently when she sidles past her in the kitchen, even when she notices Lilith grinning as she sips from-

“MY FAVORITE MUG?”

gentle Ava who washes up on the beach alone in the middle of the storm, who waits for morning to go up into the trees.

Ava, pinned underneath a man snarling at her in Portuguese but no breath in her lungs to say “wait, i can understand you."

and just- lashing out, lashing up. a star reaching its way back into heaven, or Icarus crawling out of the ocean dragging his broken limbs and his broken wings behind him.

blood on her face, in her mouth, gumming her lashes together - and what did Bea say about it? how arterial blood is bright brilliant red and venous blood is darker, breathless, deoxygenated. she thinks of it in brushstrokes, limping away through the trees, scrubbing at her eyes with her forearm until the skin is streaky and red.

is this how Icarus felt? tilting his chin to kiss Apollo as the wax ran molten down his arms, as his wings unfurled and then unfurled.

she used to sit on the deck with Beatrice when her intrepid archaeologist needed air and light. how she would sink slowly into Ava’s side. a different kind of capsizing.

nothing to be afraid of.

Ava staring up at the sky and telling her, “if we were sailing in the 1600s i’d be a rigging monkey.”

“mmm?” soft, sleepy, turning her face to look at Ava with that sly strand of hair slipping down to touch her cheek.

“yeah, flitting through the ropes and the sails and the mast, dangling up there in calm weather or in windy weather.” she closed her eyes, "i'd be so unbelievably sexy."

a soft huff. not a denial.

“rigging monkeys were fragile things.” Bea unpicking Ava’s fingers where she held them in a loose fist.

maybe they’d had a beer, or two, and in that moment Bea looked as fascinated by the shape of Ava’s knuckles as she did looking at her books, or the horizon. “they…um… often fell into the water, or down onto the deck. from such a height…”

she trailed off, looking troubled.

Ava swallowed the urge to dip down and kiss her forehead, to smooth those lines of worry with her mouth. “yeah but in this scenario you’d be our navigator, so you’d never turn us toward a hurricane or a lightning storm. we’d just breeze right along and i’d get to sunbathe on the mainmast.”

Beatrice paused, her thumb poised to run over the slope of Ava’s fingers. (she’s just tactile, that’s all. there’s nothing else to it)

“sometimes you have to sail into a storm.” Bea shook her head, folded her hands back into her lap, “otherwise the storm will catch up to you.”

Ava ran from the beach as soon as she could walk, run, snatching Bea’s backpack from a pile of washed-up cargo. she’d heard gunshots in the night, huddled under the broken hull of a rowboat with crabs shifting in the shadows.

she thought about smashing one of them with a rock, to eat, but she couldn’t do it.

and she tried to outpace the storm, but it found her.

a body lurching out of the trees, quiver of arrows on his back, beating her down with the slope of the bow. straddling her and how she beat helplessly at him like she used to strain against the stubbornness of her body as it healed, as sensation returned and the nuns it as an excuse to pinch, to scratch her with their nails.

screaming, wordless, savage. trying to reach his eyes and then the tightening of his hands around her neck. Bea telling her the count you start in your head when someone strangles you.

“pfft, i can hold my breath for ages.”

“your brain can’t.”

reaching up - and she’s always reaching up. guilty dreams of Beatrice slowly dipping down to capture her mouth.

Ava reaches, feels something snap off in her hand. later, she’ll turn it over and over in her hands. an arrow, poorly made, with wet wood, but the head sharpened like someone went at it with a stone night after night. it makes her think of prayer, of what she might pray for here if she didn’t have the hazy hope of bea, bea, bea.

she tried to plug his face with her hands, fingers grazing up against broken teeth as he coughed gouts of blood down onto her. hands around her throat loosening and that first flood of breath threaded with the leak of his life.

the weight of him crushing the air from her lungs. so she hooked her legs around his like Beatrice showed her, using her hips to flip him onto his back.

and then he drowned.

on his own blood and she should have known, should have thought of it, but she just ripped up his shirt with bare bloody fingernails and pressed it into the wound. his eyes - dirty blue like the water under piers - roaming wild over her face.

and then he died.

she pushed off his body, falling back into the leaf litter. sticky length of arrowhead still clenched in one fist.

back in the orphanage, she used to spend hours just thinking. clinging like fire to every fact she learned, every paragraph Diego struggled to read to her.

daylight dreams of Michelangelo lying flat underneath his ceiling, paint dripping into his eyes, squinting at the shadows. the absolute quiet sometimes, at night maybe, holding up a candle to see the colors without the bruising brightness of god’s eye.

he’s looking now, she thinks, dipping her hands into the cold tonguing motion of a stream. leaves flicking past in the current, blood ribboning into threads of muted gold.

Icarus in a Gilded Cage

Summary

An AU of SAMAU that follows a Player named Lilith. It diverges from the original quite early on, when the Auditor decides to kidnap him and Lilith reacts... poorly.

More details on Lilith (any pronouns btw), the world they come from, and the general course of the story under the cut.

Lilith is a living weapon, stripped of faer purpose after being revealed as a deity's chosen. Frustrated and prohibited from fighting, they find different ways to relieve their stress. One of his new interests is watching Madness Combat and playing Project Nexus.

Her personality quickly endears her to her vessels. Although vir aim is... lackluster, ve makes up for it with sheer enthusiasm and bloodlust. Their strategic mind isn't half bad, either. And thus the AU begins as usual... until, of course, Lilith is actually brought to Nevada.

The Auditor decides to intervene after Lilith mysteriously vanishes. Unbeknownst to him, xe's been on the run for the last few months, and xe are not happy with being put in another cage.

Violence ensues. I have two ideas for how this goes from here, one where Lilith stays and one where it leaves.

If Lilith leaves, voi does so immediately. She is absolutely furious, and more than a little terrified that the Employers will trap her again. So he escapes into the wild and lives on his own for a while.

I imagine ve's very, very cautious at first. They aren't quite sure if they can trust... well, anyone here. And it's used to being on its own for months at a time, especially in hostile territory; there isn't an urgent need for allies.

However, eventually her lack of direction starts to get to her. He decides to try and carry out the original story. Fae begins by contacting 2BDamned, hoping to join as some kind of mercenary—the one-man-army fae was created to be.

I have no ideas past this point. At least for now. Sorry!

In the one where he stays, he's closest to Stygian. Their respectful mannerisms make fae much more trusting of them; they are the first Employer (and, if fae has faer way, the only Employer) who learns about what Lilith is and what that means.

Which reminds me: I should probably explain that in a bit more detail. Along with some more worldbuilding.

See, Lilith is some kind of magical/biological construct, designed for a very specific purpose. Like other living weapons, they're very efficient in energy use; they can go without eating or sleeping for weeks at a time with very few negative effects. Its biological aspects mean it can operate very independently on the battlefield, unlike actual machines. He can make his own repairs, and he gradually heals over time.

As for specifics... She's a close combat fighter. Xir small frame (well, compared to others like xem) make xem nimble and extremely fast.

Each living weapon is assigned a handler. Lilith's relationship with her own is somewhere between parental and military. Fae refers to them as faer commander. Lilith feels betrayed by them, but even so, he misses them dearly.

And what happened that made Lilith feel so betrayed? Well... Being a deity's chosen means that it's no longer allowed to fight. They're considered 'too valuable' to risk. It makes her feel weak, fragile, as if she can't take care of herself. Ve doesn't need to be protected, and yet everyone insists that ve does. Eventually, xe can't take it any more. He decides to break free from the gilded cage he's trapped in.

This is why she reacts so poorly to the Employers' attitude towards her. :D

Lesson Zero

The Dream Lady

Tags: spoken about insomnia and mentions of depression, dream meeting, lucid dreaming, meantions of flu, talk about aspects of witchcraft

2:38 AM stared from the handdrawn lockscreen that Icarus used back at him. Insomnia visited the young man again like so often "Cursed insomnia from that stupid depressive overthinking...", Icarus grumpled. A heavy tired sigh escaped the him, shifting under his heavy feather blanket.

Although this seems horrible to most, more then often even to Icarus himself, to not be able to sleep until well past midnight or dream alot, the boy learned to accept and deal with it. Nowadays he even welcome it. More so because the more tired he is, the deeper he knows he will sleep and therefore the more time he has with the rare but nice dream he had been having for a few weeks now.

A blessing and a curse. Well atleast i know tomorow i will absolutly not be up for much, Icarus thought sarcasticly, turning once again and disturbing the kitten in his arms.

The small calico cat meowed in protest. "I'm sorry, Lavendel. Did I wake you up, Schatz?", the young human cooed apolegetic, petting the small cat he had as a roommate and often called his furbaby. Shifting once again a bit so the small kitten had space, Icarus watched as she cuddled back in the small space near his chest. Giving her pets normally calmed the little troublemaker.

She thrilled tiredly as he watched Lavendel beginning to slip back into her own sweet dreams.

Another small sigh. Checking the time again, careful not wake his cat again this time, it was only 2:40AM.

At night he noticed how hard it was to be living own his own now. The one thing that makes him continue to go to bed was his calico kitten that loved to cuddle up to him in the night and that pretty dream he keeps having. Finally feeling the pull of sleep coming for him, he closed his eyes. Thankfully his sleep meditation finally starts to kick in. Purring and the quiet sound of a starting rain storm being his companions into the kingdom of dreams.

Once he opened his eyes again he was in a beautiful forest. Lushes colorful trees, plenty full berry bushes and the most vibrantly blooming flowers as well as a wide variaty of wildlife decorationg the beauty before him. It was a familiar scene at this point for him.

Starting to strolled along the familiar path, he hummed a tune enjoying the rare peace from his never stopping thoughts and life.

Living in a small city left him without much nature to take a walk in, even less time when one remembers he was an adut with responsiblities. Therefore he enjoyed every minute of this environment, even if its only a dream.

Not long into his walk he found the clearing he always visited. Per usual in the middle of it a big picknick blanket full of snacks and pillows. As cherry on top the pretty ruby haired lady that makes this dream so pleasant for the human.

"Hello, Starlight. How is the sky tonight?", Icarus greeted per usal with a smile. As cheesy as it was he could not contain using star themed pet names and puns. It's the only time he can use them anyways and it's his dream. Who could come after him here?

Said Lady looked up and smiled brightly "Oh your here, young one! A bit late aren't you?" "Well, sleep isn't kind to me and insomnia a daily companion.", The younger joked while sitting down next to the other, "Jokes aside, i truly just was hit with an Insomnia wave this night. It wasn't really planned.." A giggle followed "Don't worry. How are you feeling? Last time we saw each other you told me you were feeling sick. Did it got better?", The lady asked holding open her arms. Icarus, never one to pass up the chance for physical affection quickly curled up in her arms, smiling as he felt her warmth and smelled the soft scent of lillys on her as per usual. "Yes, I'm feeling better now. It was a light flu according to my doctors. But the feeling of something big that will happen doesn'tlet me go..", Icarus explained as the lady petted his head softly.

This is why he loved this dream. He felt at easy, safe and happy here. The pretty lady always felt like the mother his own refused to be to him since his time in the home. He admits that he called her mom by accident a few times already. She never scolded him tho. All she did was smile and laugh her feathery light and soft laugh while telling him its ok for him to call her that.

"Oh thats not good, small one. Have you read yourr cards about it?", she inquired, still petting him. Taking one of the cookies that appeared out of thin air, the dreamer nodded "Yes but even they don't tell me really what to expect! I'm so confused and to be honest im scared too. What if something will happen to papa or luna? Or even my sister Ray! Heavens, I dont know what i would do if somethign happened to Freya and sweet little Felix!"

Icarus looked worried to the lady in white who looked thoughful uo the sky. "Im sure they will be fine, small one. Maybe it will be something nice?", she argued smiling. It's true that was a possibility he had already ruled out, even if it is as possibleas all the horror situations he imagined. "Maybe..", the young man agreed but still bit the inner side of this cheek, "I really just hope they will be fine.."

Moving her soft hand to the side of his face to cup it she offered "How about I tell you some more stories of my brothers to distract you, my little Icarus?" Icarus looking at her a bit he nodded "That would be nice.."

Smiling the lady leaned back, giving the short human more space to snuggle up to her. "Have I ever told you the story of Luci hiding us all in his wings to prank Micheal?" Giggling already of the thought he shock his head earning a smile from the other. The lady with soft lilac hair began "Now it was a beautiful day in the Celestial Realm.."

As the pretty Lady came to the end of her story, they could hear the familiarcrystal like sounds of Icarus alarm. Looking up sad to her Icarus asked "Hey..I know you said you couldnt tell me your name but maybe you can today..?"

Smiling sadly the lady sighed and cupped his face while kissing his forhead like everytime he is about to wake. "I guess it is time, my dear..We won't see eachother for a while anyways.. My name is.."

Openeing his eyes Icarus turned his alarmoff, turning onto his back as he stared up the cloud lamps he hanged up into the sky of his bed with fairylights connecting the three clouds.

Softly touching one of the perls he used to look like it was rain drops he repeated the pretty ladys name almost like a whispered summoning

"..Lilith.."

#I like the idea that Lilith can meet the mc in their dreams or just is around them as a ghostly motherly spirit #watching over them #cheering on from the side lines #so Icarus knew Lilith from his dreams before his arrival at RAD #but he just thought she was a part of his imagination that helped him cope with his depression and other issues #so he knows her yes but he has no idea that she is a real ass person! #obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me mc #mc!icarus #obey me! #obey me lilith #omswd #lesson zero #slepy wrote something #backstory
