::Deckerstar Themed Fanfic Rec List:: Undercover as a Couple

a.k.a. the “I did it for the case eggs” fic rec list

Happy Valentines Day, Lucifans!

Last updated: March 24, 2019

13 recs and counting below the cut.

~We need to get married, it’s for a case~

Come Hell Or High Water by BecomeMyObsession [Rated M]

Getting married to the Devil is never a good idea. Pseudo marriage or not.

Chloe learns the truth the hard way.

Glass Houses by evenhisfacewasanalias [Rated M]

Chloe and Lucifer have to go undercover as a married couple in a model community to solve the murder of an heiress, and they grow closer in the process. Begins sometime after Lucifer starts to admit his feelings for Chloe, but before she can admit any feelings towards him. Lots of fluff and a fair amount of smut coming up, because I think we all need a break from bad things happening in this show and in the real world.

Naughty & Nice by Ahavah [Rated E]

Chloe and Lucifer get married. The Holy Ghost does not approve.

They also get kinky. Hopefully everyone approves.

~We need to go on a date, it’s for a case~

A Slice Of Cake and A Dance With The Devil by ricochet [Not Rated]

Chloe and Lucifer stop a murder at a wedding. The most dangerous thing that happens is the dancing afterward.

High Stakes by theleafpile [Rated E]

Chloe, upon hearing that Lucifer will be joined at a million-dollar poker game in Vegas by a notorious mobster the L.A.P.D. has been itching to get anything on, invites herself along for a little off-the-books snooping.

But she hadn't realized: playing with the Devil is always high stakes.

Idle Hands by Weisse_Rose [Rated M]

Chloe has to give Lucifer a massage. For Science! Actually, for a case. Lucifer discovers something new about himself.

Into the Spin by flutterflap [Rated T]

A case involving some of Chloe's high school classmates takes Chloe and Lucifer to Chloe's 20th high school reunion. Lucifer is delighted. Chloe, not so much.

Motel California by Arlome [Rated M]

"And so, this is how they find themselves - two weeks after the first victim was discovered - caged in this sorry excuse for a motel room, posing as a couple – sort of; a somewhat hasty development in their relationship –made up as it may be - when one considers that only recently they decided to stop walking on egg-shells around each other.

It doesn’t always work."

A serial killer, a tiny, claustrophobic room at a cheap motel, and a reluctant, skittish partner who used to rule Hell. What can possibly go wrong?

No Rivers and No Lakes by drekadair [Rated T]

Lucifer and Chloe must go undercover at a high-class S & M sex club, and to ensure they don't blow their cover, they need to blend in. Thank the Devil there's all this rope lying around...

Taking the Fall by tarysande [Rated T, WIP]

When movie stars begin dying under bizarre circumstances, Chloe and Lucifer, still reeling from the aftermath of Pierce's death and the truths they can no longer avoid, must go undercover—deep undercover—to figure out who (or what) is behind the murders.

~We need to make out, it’s for a case~

Loaded Gun by BecomeMyObsession [Rated E]

Almost getting caught in alleyways by dangerous guys with guns can lead you into some pretty... sticky situations.

Showtime by Weisse_Rose [Rated M]

Oh no! We're gonna get caught where we shouldn't have been sneaking around! Quick, let's make out!

It's a classic for a reason.

your body will haunt mine by wollfgang [Rated E]

“I have an idea," Chloe says suddenly, sounding grave.

He's only half turned towards her when she's upon him, attacking the buttons of his shirt.

“What are you doing?” he asks, alarmed.

“They never got a good look at us. Who’s going to think twice at a couple having sex in their hotel room?” she asks, backing him up slowly towards the bed.

Lucifer chokes on air. “I’m sorry, I didn't quite get that. It almost sounded like you said, ‘having sex’.”

SHIPPING Q&A

Pick your top 10 ships without reading the questions. [or if you’re a one ship dedicated blog, feel free to answer all of them for just that one, or do all the ships from one fandom, this is just for fun]

Guys, these are not in any specific way.

1. Starker

2. Destiel (Dean and Castiel from Supernatural)

3. Malec (Magnus and Alec from Shadow Hunters)

4. Stucky

5. Delena (Damon and Elena from Vampire Diaries)

6. Drarry (Harry and Draco from Harry Potter)

7. Marvey (Mike and Harvey from Suits)

8. Deckerstar (Lucifer Morningstar and Chloe Decker from Lucifer)

9. Coliver (Connor and Oliver from How to get away with murder)

10. Britin (Justin and Brian from Queer as Folk)

Now answer the questions fo your followers can learn a bit more about your ships

————————

Do you remember the episode/chapter/scene where you first started shipping 6? - [Drarry] - I think it was actually because I ended up reading a fanfiction about them where they had very filthy sex and after that I just couldn’t unsee it. Either book or movie, they’re just... together in my head lol.

What’s your favourite fanfiction for 4? - [Stucky] - I can’t remember the name but it was one where Steve was a prince and he had a harem of sexual partners and Bucky was one but he had been sent as a spy for the bad guy and his name was Winter but obviously they end up falling in love and Winter tells everything to Steve and they end up together and the harem I think is disolved because Bucky’s the main bitch now.

What’s your favourite fan art/picture for 2? - [Destiel] - God, there are just too many. Destiel is an incredibly famous ship and it has been going around for ten years now. I just- everything made for Destiel is my fav. Specially one where they draw them as two women, so they’re a lesbian couple.

What’s your favourite headcanon for 1? - [Starker] - High School AU’s will always be the reason of my sluttyness.

What do you like most about the dynamic between the people of 7? - [Marvey] - They complete each other because they’re complete opposites. I also like the fact that they not only protect each other, but leave aside their differences and their fights to go save the other if needed. Always have the other’s back, and Mike’s just a child that Harvey needs. Am I right, @infinity-worried

When 9 have sex is it more giggly or more serious? - [Coliver] - I think it goes on both ways. Connor is very serious and sexy, and then Oliver is very shy and giggly and probably self-consious and ashamed so they go from being blushy and cute to Connor pushing Oliver against the wall and telling him the games are over.

Out of all the ships who do you think have the best chemistry? - I think probably Britin or Deckerstar. They’re both cannon as fuck, so their chemistry is very shown on TV. I don’t know, Britin has to be the very first ship I started shipping, and Deckerstar is one of the few straight ships that I’ve managed to follow. they’re cute help.

Which ship has the strongest bond? - I’m pretty sure the answer to that is Malec. But beyond the sex, they’re just really bonded through magic and the entirety of their world.

Which ship to you spend the most time reading fanfiction for/talking/writing about? - Starker and Britin.

Which one was your first ship? - Britin, definitely. Probably started it out when I was 13. The show was only on YouTube, I remember everything perfectly.

If 6 were to break up, how would it happen? - [Drarry] - It would be in the most childish way. Probably Draco would say something horrible and Harry would be done with his shit once and for all and he’d break up with him and then Draco would be following him everywhere because that boy’s pride left his natural body the moment Harry took his hand for the first time. His boyfriend is just way too valuable to be a dick about it.

Between 3 and 8, who would last the longest if they were in a zombie apocalypse? - [Malec, Deckerstar] - I would put my hands in the fire for Deckerstar. I mean, Malec has magic, and Alec is a nephilim and Magnus a warlock, but... Lucifer is the devil.

Does 7 hide their relationship, and if so, why? - [Marvey] - At first, yes. It starts off as a sexual thing and you know that you can’t be sleeping around with your boss, so it’s necessarily a secret, but then, they start falling in love with each other and Mike starts to believe that Harvey will never love him and he becomes distant and feels disposable and Harvey knows he has to put an end to it so he just... announces it to literally everybody.

What is 9′s favourite date to go on? - [Coliver] - Probably really nerdy stuff. Connor has gone through some shit and one of the things that makes him the happiest in this world is seeing Oliver happy, and sci-fi makes Oli happy and probably just science fairs, really geeky movies and all.

What’s your favourite canon moment between 10? - [Britin] - I mean. Fuck. Probably the first I love you, or when after the prom situation, Brian takes Justin to the scene of the crime to make him try to remember something of his abuser and he whispers (because he’s telling the story): “and that’s when I understood why they called you sunshine”)

What do 5 argue most about? - [Delena] - Damon has a real trouble being a good person (vampire?) and Elena is just- she has a good heart (that’s how the tv show makes it look anyway) and she struggles to mantain Damon as a caring individual.

If you had to pick an OTP which would you chose? - Britin. Fuck, I hate myself for that because Starker is now my main on everything, but Britin is really special to me, and it opened the doors to the gay world in my eyes. That’s the first representation I was ever familiar with.

What’s the biggest kink that 1 shares? - [Starker] - Femenization. God, Peter in a skirt, lashes, lipstick, high-thighs and heels? Fuck me the fuck up.

Do 8 want children? - [Deckerstar] - I don’t know. Chloe already has a kid and she could potentially want another one but then again, Lucifer is the devil and I don’t think he’s allowed to have children with humans, especially considering the fact that they haven’t discussed Chloe dying (she’s mortal)

Between 10 and 4, which would you rather became canon? - [Britin and Stucky] - Britin is cannon, so please just give Stucky a go.

Does 2 do much PDA? And does it annoy their friends? - [Destiel] - Not really, mostly because they don’t have time. Sometimes Castiel kisses Dean’s cheek or something and every once in a while Dean says some corny shit that he didn’t want to say but usually, they keep to themselves (or under the table), and no, it doesn’t bother Sam. Sam’s the biggest Destiel shipper among us.

Which of the ships would you say is the most romantic with each other? - Deckerstar. Lucifer probably would do some hell things that nobody considers romantic mostly because they’re satanic, but the gesture is what counts. Plus, imagine Lucifer just bringing a vase of human eyes bc that’s romantic in hell and he’s with his grin... I would take it honestly.

How would the proposal between 5 go? - [Delena] - I don’t think marriage is an option. They’re both inmortal (towards the end of the show) and they have all their lives. They don’t need a piece of paper that tells them how much their relationship is worth, specially if they’re going to trascend that.

Who cooks more often in 3? - [Malec] - Magnus. Without a shadow of a doubt. He makes potions all the time, and Alec is always working on the institute. I think Magnus would be more than happy to cook (or summon) a meal for his boyfriend.

——————

Now tag!!

@im-a-goner-foryou @insatiable-spider @starker1975 @starker-garbage @peterscherry @peterparkerisaslut-x

Consider yourself tagged if you want to do this! Also, sorry for the lenght of this. I got a bit carried away.

A post about Mazikeen and her character turn

Spoilers for S3E20, turn back now if you need to

So Maze has been getting a lot of hate recently, because her character arc has taken a pretty dark turn. Let me say, as a fan of both comics!Mazikeen and the general relationship between Maze and Lucifer, it’s rough! It is very, very dark and hard. But I feel like a lot of people are looking at it from a terribly outside point of view, and I’m going to start breaking down what a lot of people seem to overlook as they root for Lucifer/Chloe/Deckerstar, whatever.

1) Okay, so first and foremost, Mazikeen is not a human. It is so unfair to her character to look at her actions only from a human point of view. Demons do not really know or understand love -- the closest she’s truly gotten to that has been her devotion to Lucifer, and he’s been testing that for years now. She cares for Linda, for Chloe, for Trixie, yes. But think about the way young children love their parents: hugs are followed by tantrums, a screamed “I HATE YOU” is followed by tears and apologies. Maze has not progressed enough to process her feelings like an adult human, so these short-term schemes and plans seem like a very good idea to her. Like a child, she has problems thinking about long-term ramifications of her actions. Lucifer, Amenadiel, and the Goddess version of Charlotte all have this trait too, if to a lesser extent.

2) Maze feels really, really left out and betrayed. Chloe seems to more or less ignore her, unless she needs a babysitter or they happen to be in the same room. Linda completely betrayed her trust, and yes, she apologized, but that’s not always how trust is rebuilt. You can hear a heartfelt apology and still be angry enough to tell someone to go to hell.

But Lucifer has absolutely betrayed her in the biggest way, multiple times. She followed him to Earth and he basically abandoned her to go chasing around after Chloe. She has been asking to return to Hell for years now, and he has refused. He barely acknowledges her as a being unless she forces him to. He uses her and manipulates her emotions. And he punishes her when she pushes back in any way. Which brings us to the third point:

3) Maze does not belong on Earth. She is a demon, and Hell is her home. It’s reasonable for her to ask Lucifer to take her back, particularly because he has returned to Hell at least twice since the show started. Now, at this point where she is clearly falling apart and feels like she has nothing left, she is told no again -- not because Lucifer cares about her and wants to help her, or because he believes there’s a life there to rebuild, but because a) he’s scared of retribution from God, and b) he doesn’t want to lose her.

Imagine that you agree to go to a foreign country with your friend. They fly home every couple of months but never take you. In this foreign country, you can kind of understand the language, but you’ve been homesick since you got there.

Now first, the trip seems to keep getting longer and longer. Next, your friend stops talking to you and leaves you to get all your company from strangers. When you do finally make some friends, they break your heart in a way that’s difficult to overcome. Your first friend doesn’t even care enough to listen.

So you beg them to take you home, knowing that they’ve gone back home before, once for someone they don’t even like, for something petty (Lucifer retrieving Abel from Hell). And they say no to you. They tell you that not only do you have to live in this foreign country forever (because you literally cannot go back on your own), but it’s because they don’t want to be alone. Because maybe their dad might hurt some random person that you two didn’t even know five years ago! Your thoughts and feelings 100% do not matter.

You would probably lose your shit, right? I would. I would raise absolute hell, no pun intended. And that’s what Maze is doing right now.

Now, I don’t condone her idea, and I also think it’s super over the top, but she is Hell’s top torturer, so Lucifer should have known who he was playing with. Neither of them are in the right. But it’s so shallow to only say “Maze is so mean!” or “I hate this new Maze!” without looking at her perspective on it.

Everyone is allowed a perspective, and in this situation, there’s no one who’s really innocent, except Trixie (who Maze did seem genuinely upset about hurting). Did Maze do something terrible? Yes. But was Lucifer any better to deny her the only thing she really wants? He was willing to risk God’s wrath for Cain. But not for someone who has been his companion for literally billions of years.

Maze may be behaving unreasonably. Horribly so. But she didn’t turn into the bad guy on her own, and it’s not fair to her character to forget that aspect of everything by boiling it down to being “mean”.

You got any good fics to recommend?

Always! Here is my original Fic Rec list I did a while back, here’s a Fluff List, and here is my wing!fic masterpost. Also I’m adding a few more off the top of my head.

1. Glass Houses by evenhisfacewasanalias

Summary:Chloe and Lucifer have to go undercover as a married couple in a model community to solve the murder of an heiress, and they grow closer in the process. Begins sometime after Lucifer starts to admit his feelings for Chloe, but before she can admit any feelings towards him. Lots of fluff and a fair amount of smut coming up, because I think we all need a break from bad things happening in this show and in the real world.

Why I like it: The summary says it all: fake married deckerstar trying to survive in a gated community? Sign me U P. This fic has a special way of approaching the whole “uber-intense slow burn” deckerstar tension. Instead of immediately giving into the undeniable tension, the author makes you work for that smut. Like ya’ll gotta sit through shirtless and pantsless deckerstar, hot pool make-out sessions, and interrupting ex husbands before The Main Event™. It tortures you in the absolute best way possible while also having some rather enduring and hilarious moments with the colorful cast of neighbors.

2. UnDeserving by PokerFace84

Summary: Starts after episode 2x13. Lucifer left Los Angeles without saying goodbye to anyone, resolved to plan his revenge on God for manipulating him. But before he can make the plan he discovers that there’s something very wrong with Heaven. And to make things worse he is asked (in a way) by God himself to help. Will Lucifer decide to help and save more than just Heaven or will he decide to take advantage of his Father’s vulnerability and take his revenge?Complex plot, lots of supernatural stuff, some pain, angst, love, hate etc. (just like in the real life :) (WIP)

Why I like it: Ensemble cast!! Everyone and their mother is in this fic (and then some). Don’t get turned off by the few chapters where Lucifer is out on his own little side-quest because you’ll want to stick around for this one. You want some Mom and Ella interactions? Chloe confronting Mom and Amenadiel? Lucifer and Dad finally talking? This is the fic for you! Pile on lots of drama and almost more tension than the show itself, and this is the perfect dose of angst and baddassery. Did I mention that it has some pretty interesting OC’s? And for someone who has trouble getting into OC’s I can firmly say that I enjoy their addition to this fic.

3. And Then There Was Light by @ariaadagio

Summary: Post-S2 finale. When Lucifer Morningstar is found half dead in the desert, Chloe Decker is determined to find out why, but the more she pushes, the more he pulls away. Fits with canon through S2. (WIP)

Why I like it: This fic is dark in the best way possible. Much like my prior rec, Devil’s Bargain, this author isn’t afraid to shy away from the gory and stomach churning. It’s angsty and loving all at the same time: one minute it’s all soft and fluffy and the next it’s literally killing you slowly. Lucifer and Chloe are both so badass in this fic it’s an 100% certified fic Snack™.

4. All Soul’s Night by @skaoi-on-ao3

Summary: Lucifer chuckles, “No, dear. Not THAT kind of party. Really, I think you might enjoy it. Come for at least a bit? Perhaps Daniel might babysit your spawn?”She smirks, “It’s not babysitting when the father does it Lucifer. It’s still called ‘parenting’.”He waves her off again, “Regardless, you should come. And in costume, of course.”Chloe shoots him a look, “Uh huh. And exactly what sort of costume would be appropriate for this party? Leather? Bondage gear?”The Devil looks positively intrigued now, “If you wish, certainly. Anything goes for the guests, of course. I, however, will be in black tie.”It’s the detective’s turn to be curious, “Black tie? Are you wearing a mask or….?” she asks.He gives a small shrug, “Let’s just call it “or” and leave it that, shall we?” He smiles eagerly, “You’ll come?”

Why I like it: Y’all like court-holding, black tie gentleman Lucifer? Yeah who doesn’t. Y’all also like in-the-know Chloe? Of course you do. This fic is so elegant and lovely and just something that you can completely sink your teeth into. The tone is so silky and smooth that it reads so effortlessly. Add on top of that you got some of my eternal favorite dark!Lucifer (dark is a stretch but he definitely is a bit more…hellish lol). And there’s little bits of meta scattered in that you definitely don’t wanna miss!

5. Only Human by IceQueen1

Summary: Set Post Season 2 Finale, so spoilers if you haven’t watched it.Lucifer promised answers, and then he simply vanished. Again. This time, he has even less of an explanation. Dan intends to tell him in no uncertain terms that he can’t keep screwing with his family like that, no more promises for answers and then disappearing for months at a time.Except this time, it wasn’t Lucifer’s decision.Contains mentions of self harm. Lucifer whump.

Why I like it: Shit was all I could say while reading this. This is probably the darkest fic on this list and it has a damn good reason for earning that title. If you thought the show hasn’t been doing a good job of showcasing Lucifer’s wing trauma, go and read this fic immediately. This fic is so chilling that I literally did get…well…chills while reading it. You’ll know exactly what part I’m talking about when you get there, because all you can do is keeping reading through the train-wreak that is our favorite Devil. The tone is almost horror film worthy and Lucifer’s voice in this is absolutely stunning. Did I mention Dan’s in here? I have a soft spot for him and Lucifer being friends and the dose of brotp in here was the cherry on top.

out of the mouth of babes (2/?)

Rated G, Gen with pre-Deckerstar

"Let's cut the chit-chat. Dad, you should just tell her how you feel about her."

Lucifer gave his daughter a sideways glance, then refocused on the road.

"I mean, I know you're complete shit with human interaction that requires opening up in any way, but don't you think it's time?"

"Quite contrary, I think I'm very much proficient at opening up other people's things." Her father, the brilliant conversationalist. Mature, useful contributions at all times.

"First of all, eww. Secondly, that wasn't even close to a good comeback. And thirdly, stop avoiding the topic at hand."

Lucifer's grip on the steering wheel tightened, the knuckles of his fingers turning almost white.

"And what topic would that be, child?" It sounded like he was gritting his teeth together.

"That you're in love with Detective Decker and that you should tell her!"

They had reached the grocery store car park. Iris' dad pulled over into a spot and shut the engine off. His hands wandered to his knees, then, as if to steady himself, he grabbed onto the steering wheel again.

"Iris. I'm the Devil. I do not fall in love. With the detective nor with anybody else. That's a preposterous idea," he said flatly, staring straight ahead at the billboard in front of them.

She could not believe this. "Are you serious?"

"Quite serious, I assure you. Of course, I wouldn't mind if she and I did the dirty, but I suspect that is not the direction you were going with this."

His lecherous grin didn't reach his eyes and faded quickly. The fingers of his right hand were now rapidly drumming on the steering wheel.

Iris rubbed her temples, fighting off the headache she felt coming.

"I can't believe you. I love you, Dad, I really do -" at that, her father finally focused on her instead of the sign ahead that proclaimed 'Fresh strawberries, local produce, small price!' - "but that is complete bull and you know it."

The fond expression that had briefly appeared on his face when she'd told him she loved him was gone.

"Every time you call me, and I mean every time, you ask me how I am, how school is, blablabla. And when I ask about you, the only thing on your mind is Detective Decker.

'Detective Decker is outstanding at her job, Detective Decker is such a kind person, Detective Decker laughed at one of my jokes today, Detective Decker single-handedly saved the world's unicorn population'. "

"I've never said anything like that last part," Lucifer huffed. She chose to ignore him.

"You go on and on about her. And Dad, that's fine by me. If she is what you want to tell me about when we talk, by all means, do. But don't pretend you don't feel anything for her, " Iris continued.

Her father, for once in his life, looked almost flustered. "I do talk about her often, don't I."

"Yeah, you definitely do." Maybe she was making some headway.

His fingers stopped their incessant rhythm. In a resigned tone, he declared, "It would never work. Presuming she actually returned my..."

His voice trailed off. Ah, no headway then.

"Huge crush? Burning love? Frankly kind of creepy obsession with her person?" Iris supplied.

He snorted. "Now, don't exaggerate, darling."

Iris pulled her mobile out of her pocket, opened her text messages and scrolled down the chat with her dad until she found what she was looking for. A late-night (well, for her) message, months old. She practically shoved the phone at her father's face.

You, 11:16 pm: went alright, I think I passed. anyway, what's so special about her, you tell me about her pretty often?

Dad, 11:38 pm: that's good. well, I've never met anyone like the detective. she has the kindest, purest soul I've encountered in

all of my existence.

Lucifer looked uncomfortable. "Looking back now, why did I write that? Rather soppy, if you ask me."

Iris pocketed her phone again. "Well, isn't it the truth? Point of pride, right?" Hah. Caught between a rock and a hard place.

Her father made a face as if he suffered from constipation. "Yes."

"Dad, that's something people would write in their wedding vows. The stuff of rom-coms," she said slowly, in a tone like she was explaining something to a toddler.

What she didn't mention was that killing someone to protect the person you love was a sign of pretty epic love. But he didn't need to be reminded of that particular event.

Lucifer opened and closed his hands rhythmically around the steering wheel, his eyes darting from side to side. It was fairly reminiscent of someone having a seizure. After a few moments, he started talking, voice uncertain.

"I, I couldn't just be with her for a longer time while she doesn't believe who I am. That doesn't seem... right."

She tucked her hands between her thighs. The urge to face-palm was too strong to resist. The solution to his dilemma was so easy, wasn't it?

"Then make her believe. Show her your face. Your therapist got over it and from what you've told me about your lady-love, she's tough. She can handle it."

This whole conversation felt very surreal. To Iris, hardly anything ever seemed surreal. Her father was the goddamned devil. Literally. Her grandfather was God. She'd seen some pretty strange things in her short life.

But she had never seen her usually so suave, confident father so unsure.

Iris had her suspicions about the cause of this.

Her dad was as open with her as he could be, discussing his emotions fairly voluntarily, though peripherally.

By now, she had also gotten incredibly skilled at interpreting the things he said. Discarding his often ludicrous statements and recognizing the real sentiments they masked.

As a consequence, she knew a ton of things he didn't dare tell or show anyone else.

That Amenadiel's hatred against him, reciprocated as it was, did hurt, in a way. How deep Maze' betrayal had cut. That he wished her grandma's supposed love was real.

The gigantic daddy and mummy issues he had and that he didn't consider himself a particularly good person.

Recently, that he hated himself for killing her uncle. That Dr. Martin's reaction to his face reaffirmed his doubts about himself, made him reconsider any vulnerability he showed.

"Yes, I'm sure she can handle it. The problem is... how she will handle it."

She was correct, then. And sad to boot.

Whatever he might believe, Iris knew her father was no bad person. Inappropriate, inconsiderate of most people's feelings, reckless, childish; sure. She had never known him to intentionally harm someone who didn't deserve it, though.

How God had ever decided he deserved a life of eternal damnation mystified her.

As someone who had three loving parents, she could not imagine what it felt like to live your life believing that your parents didn't give a shit about you. But she knew that that screwed you up fundamentally. Exhibit A, her father, who believed, deep down, that he didn't deserve to be loved and who expected rejection everywhere he went.

And that made her so, so sad, and not only because those headcases he called parents somehow still had influence over his life and decisions.

But also because she knew from first-hand-experience how wonderful her father could be to the people he loved.

Every time he looked at her that fond, slightly exasperated way, every time he hugged her and kissed her temple, every time he tucked her blanket tighter around her when he thought she was asleep, she felt his love deep in her half-angelic bones.

(He'd even gotten better at telling her directly.)

So, no, Iris herself had never doubted that her father loved her. But she could see what damage it could do if you did. How it made you think that, if your parents didn't love you, no one ever could, because your true self was repulsive.

No amount of 'I love you's from her had been able to fix that mess yet.

"I know you're afraid -" he started to protest, but she shushed him - "I know you're afraid she'll reject you. And that's a shitty scenario, I'll grant you. But imagine how happy you could be. If it all works out, I mean. And honestly, is it fair to her to let this suggestion of a relationship hang in the air, if you never plan to act on it? Dad, if you really, really can't do this - which, for the record, I know you can - then you have to let her go."

He was deadly still, staring transfixed into her eyes. "I don't want to do that. Let her go."

Iris smiled at him. "There's your answer, then."

His forehead made a rather comical sound on impact with the steering wheel.

"You know, I never imagined I'd say this, but I liked you better when you were smaller," he grumbled.

Iris laughed. "That's what Mum says when I can offer a plausible explanation for why I didn't tidy my room."

"I've always been convinced that your mother is an extraordinarily wise woman."

Oh yes, she was. This impromptu counseling she provided for her dad? Her mum did the same thing for everyone else. It was in her nature, caring and considerate as she was.

In her job as a doctor, that often came in handy. There had never been a complaint filed against her mother, as far as she knew; a rarity in her profession.

"And right you are. Now, let's talk about the urgent matters at hand. Can we get cocoa puffs?"

Lifting his head, Lucifer smiled for the first time since leaving the station. His hands loosened their grip on the poor, abused steering wheel and slid to his thighs.

"You only love me for the food I provide you with, don't you?"

Iris wrinkled her forehead, returning his look and quipping, "Wow, you really are channeling Mum today."

Removing his keys from the ignition, her father laughed. "I am feeling rather parental today. It's peculiar. I wonder how that came to be."

Satisfied with the result of the talk and relieved her dad wasn't having a meltdown anymore, Iris left the car and skipped ahead to the store entrance.

Turning her head back towards him, she yelled, "Last one in has to do the dishes tonight!"

Apparently, an intercontinental flight and berating your father in a grocery store car par took a lot out of you. By the time Lucifer had packed away the groceries, Iris was asleep in her seat.

He took a good look at her. She seemed hardly changed from the last time he had seen her.

Her hair, inherited from him, the poor child, was as unruly as ever, curls sticking every which way. But on her, he found, the hairdo seemed rather adorable.

Long lashes almost blocked his view on the dark rings under her eyes. He couldn't tell if they were a very recent addition or if they stemmed from the stress of school finals.

Lucifer was of the opinion that his daughter was rather lovely, but he had found most people thought that way of their offspring, even if the exact opposite was the case.

At that moment, Iris started snoring rather loudly. Right. Lovely.

He got into the Corvette and pulled away from the grocery store, heading home.

It was 3 pm. Quite enough time for Iris to take a nap before the detectives and their spawn showed up. More than enough if he didn't wake her up and just let her sleep till 6.

So when he reached Lux, he handed the valet his keys and instructed him to bring up the bags from the car after parking it. Lucifer then slid his arms under Iris' shoulders and knees, careful not to wake her up, and carried her towards the building.

One of his other employees (affectionately dubbed Man Bun by him and Maze), who'd coincidentally seen the procedure, was holding the door open.

His eyebrows were almost making contact with his hairline, eyes fixed on Iris. Man Bun opened his mouth, then closed it again, obviously struggling with the decision to speak up.

Lucifer could imagine where his thoughts were going, and he didn't appreciate it.

Well, actually, he was glad his employees questioned what went on in his club. As someone who advocated free will, Lucifer was quick to fire people who condoned harassment, and accepting of employees speaking their minds.

Man Bun seemed very much distrustful of a grown man carrying a previously unknown, apparently unconscious teenage girl up his penthouse apartment. And ready to intervene in the interest of said girl, even it could cost him his job. That, he approved of.

What he didn't approve of was the repulsive assumption that he was going to do anything to a defenceless girl. He supposed he could not blame Man Bun, though.

"This is my daughter Iris. Jet lag," he therefore simply said. Man Bun (what was his real name?), walking beside him to the lift, greatly relaxed.

"Oh, I didn't know you had a daughter?" he said casually, the unspoken question standing in the room.

"She lives in England with her mother, most of the time," Lucifer explained. Man Bun pressed the 'up'-button.

"I didn't notice before, but she looks like you," he observed.

"She does, lucky girl. Hit the genetic jackpot," Lucifer replied.

Man Bun grinned.

Thankfully, the lift didn't take much longer to arrive. He really wasn't interested in more of this inane small talk.

He stepped in, Man Bun pressed the penthouse button and left.

Arrived upstairs, Lucifer laid his daughter down on the bed in the guest room, took her shoes off and tucked the duvet around her, then closed the door behind him as silently as possible.

okay SO. i just finished catching up on season 2 of lucifer and hilARY. HILARY I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS OKAY?? AND SINCE UR THE RESIDENT LUCIFER TRASH ON MY DASH, I AM COMING TO YOU. alright. dude. so. initially in season 1, i actually didn't really like deckerstar because it felt like so rushed to me? its like they knew each other instantly and i like watching a friendship develop from something to nothign yknow. bUT. BUT THEN SEASON 2 HAPPENED OKAY. LET ME TELL YOU. its like at a point (1/?)

where iduno everything kinda pieced together for me narratively. and like their relationship finally seemed believable to me. and WOOP DE DOO THERE THEY ARE. TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER. BUT THINGS GET IN THE WAY. AND NOW LUCIFER IS GONE AND I KNOW WHY THE WRITERS ARE DOING THIS BUT ALSO I HATE IT BECAUSE FUCK MAN. CHLOE IS SO READY FOR IT AND NOW HE'S HELLA SCARED AND NEEDS TIME TO PROCESS ALL THIS SHIT BUT HE CAN'T TELL CHLOE THAT HE'S IMMORTAL NO LESS THE DEVIL BC THAT WILL FUCK UP (2/?)

ALL THE SHIT. ALL OF IT. and AND MAMA CHARLOTTE. i actually kinda really loved her?? like yea she was manipulative as hell but she was doing it out of both love for her son and desperation?? like lucifer hit the nail on the head with his last convo with her and like fuck man. i kinda want her to stay?? and like actually TRY to be a mom to him and Amenediel yknow? which like AMENEDIEL. ON THAT NOTE. IS LIKE. SO GOOD. FALLEN ANGEL PART 2. HE'S SO SELFISH IN SOME WAYS (LIKE SOMEONE ELSE (3/?)

WE KNOW??) BUT LIKE DAMN IF HE WASN'T THERE FOR HIS BROTHER WHEN PUSH CAME TO SHOVE. and to be fair to him, Lucifer could've totally been there for him when he first found out he had fallen yknow? but he wasn't and so Amenediel was basically forced to do it on his own and then mama bear comes along so like OFC HE'S STICKING WITH HER. i JUST WANT THE TWO BROTHERS TO LIKE. BE THERE FOR EACH OTHER. LIKE MAZE IS FOR LUCIFER. and speaking of her - i am SO SO glad she's made friends?? and that (4/?)

the writers are treating her like a multidimensional character. especially considering she's a POC. like as a POC myself that makes me soo hopeful?? because its not all about how she's this "sexy demon". but she's been written as human too! she has a sense of self and a life outside Lucifer finally and thAT SEEN WITH TRIXIE. LIKE FUCK YES. however. HOW. EVER. i think at the moment my all time fav right now. like my beautiful cinnamon roll is linda. WONDERFUL THERAPIST LINDA. WHO IS NOW IN (5?)

THE MIDDLE OF COSMIC DRAMA AND IS LIKE TOTALLY BAFFLED AND IN A GIGGLEFEST AT THE SAME TIME. I FREAKING LOVE IT MAN. like that scene where they're all talking about Lucifer going to hell to get the poison formula and then he just looks over and is like WHAT U THINK MY HUMAN FRIEND? *pans to Linda* ugh. GOLD. GOLDDDDD. like i know that she's supposed to be us, the audience. but fuck. like. A+++ writers. and her and Maze's friendship?? i AM LIVING O KAY. LIVVVINGGGGG (6/7)

alright i think im done. im sry if that was alot. i have the honour of being your obedient servant, tifidotpants *sings in a hamilton-y way* // crawls back into my hole (7/7)

okay I have been pretty much totally offline for the last few days, so I am just getting home and catching up now aND YES

Honestly, one of the things I loved the best about Deckerstar in season 1 is that they seemed to have always known each other, despite snark and sass and Chloe trying to get rid of him. They just clicked, they fit into each other’s lives perfectly because (soulmates destined by god holla) and made each other better, even if they didn’t understand how and neither of them were ready for things to turn romantic. But I absolutely feel you on season 2 being the season where things just started to fall into place and click on a deeper and richer and more satisfying level. That was where the surface appearances/apparent cliches of s1 got deconstructed and explored and broadened, and you just sit there like oOOOOHHHHH I GET IT NOW. BRAVO. BRAVO SIRS AND MA’AMS MAY I HAVE SOME MORE.

Because as you point out, the character development all around is phenomenal. Maze gets an entire arc/motives/feelings/life/friends of her own. Linda goes from essentially comic relief to the wisest and in some ways, bravest character on the show (and everyone’s mom friend). Dan and Lucifer of all people have a brotp. Mama Charlotte is cray cray and a wrecking ball, but we still kinda want her to figure things out and be a real mother to her scared idiot (but so so pretty) sons. We want to bang Chloe and Lucifer’s heads together (especially Lucifer’s) and get them to figure out the depths of their feelings for each other and to YOUR FATHER DAMMIT LUCIFER, MAKE GOOD CHOICES. COME ON JUST TRYYYYY. I LOVE YOU BUT WHYYYYYY.

(I am also weeeeeeeakkkkkk for the fallen angel brothers and my need to see them having each other’s backs and Amenadiel being there for Lucifer and maybe Lucifer could try being there for him, this entire relationship hurts my soul a lot. A LOT.)

CAN THE REST OF THE SEASON JUST GET HERE ALREADY I WOULD LIKE THAT A LOT.

YEP.

Girl's Night at the Boardwalk

The Lucifer episode kinda broke me. I started this fic feeling all happy and upbeat after listening to @mazethequeen‘s awesome Lindaze song mix, and now I’m pretty bummed due to deckerstar feels. I was so happy to see Linda and Maze team up in the episode, but whooboy Lucifer leaving at the end. Damn. I’m crushed. So I’m posting a teaser chapter here in order to psych myself up to finish this fic so I can feel better. I think @titconao3 @kd2900 @chloedeckerlapd were interested?

Summary:

Maze, Ella, Linda, and Chloe go out on a girl's night to a carnival on Los Angeles' boardwalk. What could go wrong?

"Live entertainment on a stage shorter than 18 inches. Vandalism and destruction of property. Oohhh. Public nudity." Lucifer read the charges off the rap sheet in front of him, and then gave the bail officer a wicked grin. "Sounds like a wild girls' night out!"

Chapter 1 "Tell me again why we're hanging out in this pleasure hole for small humans instead of getting drunk at a bar?"

Linda gave Maze a look over her glasses. "You said you've never been to a carnival, Maze." Linda watched as a gang of pre-teens with cotton candy ran by. "I can't believe you've been in Los Angeles for five years and you've never been to a boardwalk celebration before."

Ella caught up with the two women. "Come on, Maze, this'll be great! We'll hit some rides, maybe the arcade, and grab some elephant ears at the food court."

Maze looked intrigued. "Animal sacrifice? I'm in."

Chloe laughed as she walked up beside Linda. "No, Maze, elephant ears are big pieces of fried dough. There's no elephants involved."

Maze harrumphed. "Typical humans."

"All right, ladies." Ella put her arms over Maze and Linda's shoulders. Maze gave her a death glare but didn't shrug her arm off. "Rule #1: Rides before food. Who's up for the drop tower?"

"Uhh," Chloe looked up at the tower's colorful lights, outlined against the night sky. "I don't know... Maybe we could do something with... less falling? Like the Gravitron?"

"Chicken," Ella accused. She ran over and grabbed Chloe's arm and pulled her towards the line. "Come on, scaredy-cat!"

Linda and Maze joined them next to the ride. Linda bumped her shoulder against Maze's and gave her a little smile. "Are you excited?"

Maze looked from Linda to the mortals settling into the chairs attached to the cage around the tower. "So how does this ride thing work?"

Ella gave Maze an incredulous look. "You've never been to fair before?" Maze shrugged, trying to look nonchalant. "Well, you buy tickets and trade them in for a ride. Don't worry, I bought a pack of tickets for all of us."

Maze watched as the attendant dropped the safety bars. "And the point of taking a ride is?"

Linda put a hand on Maze's arm, sensing her confusion underneath her blunt questions and trying to lend her support. "That depends on the ride. Some rides are meant to make children laugh, like the Carousel." Linda pointed across the boardwalk to the giant wheel slowly turning. "The Ferris wheel is designed to make people feel like they're on top of the world. Other rides are meant to evoke terror or thrill, like this one."

Maze gave Linda a side-eye, too aware of the soft hand on her bare shoulder. "So what you're telling me is that humans pay money to get locked into a machine that will scare the shit out of them?"

"Well, yes, I suppose so," Linda replied.

Maze grinned as she soaked in the screams of the people plummeting from the top of the ride. "Looks like I have a new career goal."

Chloe looked worried as she watched a young girl who was crying walk off the ride. "Are you sure you really want to--?"

"We just got to the front of the line!" Ella linked her arm through Chloe's and marched her forward to the seats. "There's no turning back now."

Linda clicked her own shoulder bar into place and looked over to Chloe. "Don't worry, Chloe, these rides are designed with safety in mind."

Chloe closed her eyes as the attendant slid the bar down. "You obviously haven't read carnival inspection reports."

"Don't worry!" Ella exclaimed, grabbing Chloe's hand. "We can do this." She raised their entwined fists. "No wussies, only strong pussies!"

Linda chuckled and took Chloe's other hand as the ride started to rise. "Women power!" Maze rolled her eyes, and then startled as she found Linda's fingers sliding through hers. Their eyes met, and Linda's eyes crinkled mischievously. Maze felt a swoop in her stomach and blamed it on the change in height.

The ride clanked to a stop, and paused. The entire Los Angeles beach front stretched out before them, lights wrapped around palm trees and the moon reflecting across the waves. Linda only had a moment to soak in the night before--

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Chloe screamed as the ride dropped. Ella and Linda joined in the screaming chorus while Maze cackled, savoring the adrenaline rush as ground came up to meet them. "Yeah!" Maze yelled as the ride jerked just before their feet hit the platform.

"Ow, OW! OW! Let go, Chloe," Ella yelped, prying her hand out of Chloe's grasp.

"So-sorry." Chloe was breathing heavily and looked mortified.

Maze grinned at them. "Let's do it again!"

"Ahh, nooo..." Chloe moaned, making a beeline for the fence as soon as the attendant unlocked her safety bar.

"I'm so sorry, Chloe!" Ella exclaimed. "I didn't know you were scared of heights."

Chloe took a deep breath and unwrapped her hands from the fence. "I'm not, I just... I'm not a big thrill ride person." She gave Ella wobbly smile.

"No worries! Look, since I dragged you on this ride, you can pick the next one, ok?"

Chloe looked around, trying to find the safest ride in the park. "Carousel."

Maze crossed her arms and gave Linda a look. "Didn't you say that ride was for human spawn?"

"Well, I'm sure--" Linda started.

"Adults can ride too!" Chloe protested. "Besides, this time of night, most of the kids have gone home."

Ella looked down the boardwalk. "Yeah, it looks empty. Let's go."

The bored attendant perked up when Ella held up a folded twenty. "Go have a smoke break, buddy."

"Wait, what was that about?" Chloe asked as they walked around, looking over the horses.

"I used to be a carny at the state fair. I know how boring it can get."

Maze studied the wooden horses, their frenzied manes and fearful nostrils frozen in wild poses. Her eyes followed the golden poles up to the ceiling and she grinned as she fingered the worn leather straps next to the saddles. "I've seen worse sex clubs."

"Pick a horse and climb on, Maze," Linda called, settling onto a white Pegasus.

Maze walked beside Linda's horse and stopped. Wooden ash-colored smoke swirled around the horse in front of her. Its coat was jet black, flanked with heavy silver armor. It reared on its hind legs, ears back, one red eye watching her through its helm. "Mine," Maze said, stroking a hand down the stallion's neck before swinging up to the saddle.

The attendant chuckled from his station. "Best horse on the whole ride, but it doesn't move." He clicked a key and walked away. "Have fun, girls!"

"Move?" Maze wondered, and looked back at Linda. Her horse was bobbling up and down as the ride began to slowly turn. "Huh."

"Woohooo!" Ella called, weaving as she ran backwards through the crowd of horses.

"You're such a dork, Ella," Chloe called from atop her grey unicorn. Ella stuck her tongue out as she ran past, and Chloe rebelliously twisted around in her saddle so that she was facing backwards.

"Why doesn't my horse move?" Maze exclaimed. She slapped the stallion's side. "You're no fun." She unhitched her leather belt and hoisted herself up the pole until she was standing on the saddle, looking back at Linda slowly bobbling up and down.

"Come on, Maze, you can always pick another horse," Linda called.

Maze grinned, wrapping her thighs around the pole. "Nah, this one's fine. It just needs a little more...kick." Maze lifted herself up the pole, beginning to rotate around.

Linda's jaw dropped as Maze spun, arms straight, lifting her leather-covered legs in a vee level with her head. Maze twisted, hooking one knee around the pole above her hand. Her eyes smoldered, ebony hair flowing, as she narrowly missed the ears of Linda's horse. There wasn't much room between the two mounts, and Linda watched in awe as Maze maneuvered to spin higher or lower on the golden pole, the muscles in her shoulders flexing. She sucked in a breath as Maze hooked one elbow high on the pole near the rafters, and spun, her legs arching. Maze winked and blew her a kiss, and Linda blinked, flustered. "Maze, you're going to hurt yourself."

"Holy crap, she's good!" Ella cried as she ran past.

Maze licked her lips as she spun past Linda's face. "Trust me, Linda. I'm good."

"What the hell are you doing?!" An appalled looking woman yelled from behind the fence, covering her daughter's eyes. "I'm getting the manager!"

"Shit," Linda said, and unbuckled her leather belt.

"Time to bail!" Ella said, running up to Chloe and offering her a hand off her horse.

Maze twisted down her pole, and ran off the Carousel, doing a front roll on the grass to drain off her momentum. Ella leapt off, arms pinwheeling wildly, and ended up in a heap in the grass. Chloe followed in a running leap, sprinting a couple steps to the fence. That left Linda, clutching a pole on the side of the platform, looking distraught as the ride rotated.

"Come on, Linda, we gotta go!" Ella yelled, her arm gesturing in a quick loop as she heard shouting in the distance.

"Just take a breath and jump," Chloe said, trying to encourage Linda as she passed. Linda took a breath and quickly shook her head. The shouting was getting closer.

Maze cursed under her breath, sprinted over to a few feet in front of Linda, threw her arms out, and yelled, "I'll catch you! Jump!"

Linda released the pole, swung her arms back, and leapt into Maze's arms. Maze stumbled back under her weight. Realizing she was going to hit the ground, she twisted to protect her small human. The breath exploded out of her lungs as the ground hit her back and Linda slammed into her chest. And then Maze was staring into wide eyes behind black-rimmed glasses. Coral pink lips that were slightly open as Linda caught her breath. Small breasts brushing against hers while bare legs tangled with her own.

"Moony eyes later!" Ella hissed, hauling Linda up. "Here comes the piggy-wigglies."

Maze kicked herself to a stand, ran to the fence, and vaulted over. Chloe swung a leg over and then gave Linda a hand while she negotiated the fence in her skirt. The four women ran a couple rides away, and then slowed down to blend into the crowd. "I think we should hide in the arcade," Linda said nervously, looking over her shoulder.

"Since when do you call cops piggy-wigglies?" Chloe asked Ella, sounding offended.

Ella gave her a look. "I got way worse names for cops. I used to steal cars, remember?"

"Kill the cop talk," Maze hissed. She smiled at the tattooed man in a yellow vest who was standing at the entrance to the arcade. She swung her hips a little more as she noticed him staring at her ass, then she stopped, surveying the scene before her. "What's all this shit?" The room was full of colorful boxes shouting, pinging, dinging, and flashing lights at the humans operating them.

To be continued...
