✶ TIME ZONE & PACE. my timezone is gmt -4/est. i have work and other hobbies, so i will not be replying to you 24/7. i try to get at least one reply out a day if paragraphs. 2-3 if script.
✶ OOC AGE & MATURE THREADS. ooc, i am 25+ years old and i expect my partners to be 18+; partners for mature content should be 20+. mature/-based threads are not a requirement for me. i'm happy to write them (vibe-willing) or just leave them to implication.
✶ WRITING STYLE. 3rd pov. script, semi para, para; sometimes novella. it simply depends on how much i have to say at the given time. i don't expect mirroring, nor do i plan on mirroring you.
✶ GENRE LIMITS. i'm willing to hear you out on pretty much anything. i'll let you know if it's not the vibe.
✶ TAGGING. once again, i try to reply every day but don't poke/tag me if more than a day has passed. i could be busy or unable to work a reply right then. only poke me when a two weeks have passed; by then, i may have forgotten or the reply simply didn't go through. i don't poke other people very often, unless its a time-sensitive thread.
✶ BIG NO-NOS. i don't do pwp, bio/legal , or non-con under any circumstances. mature-based limits to be discussed.
The Story
✶ ⁞ prologue。
Know your place, or lose it all.
This is the lesson that the fable formerly known as Lucifer learned very swiftly and harshly when he dared to challenge an unbalanced system.
Chapter I: The Anointed Cherub
Hêlêl, "the Shining One," he was called. He was the perfect specimen of creation—beautiful, wise, talented, and eminent. Sitting at the prominent position of "the anointed cherub who covers," his glorious wings proverbially stretched over the King of Heaven's throne while he sat nearby as the head royal guard. Hêlêl was well-liked, much loved, and may as well have been a prince with the luxurious life he led.
But, the archangel always believed in equality. He always believed in justice. And it never quite sat right with him that the monarch was all powerful, with everyone else just being expected to bend to the king's every single whim at the drop of a hat. So, he spoke up.
Chapter II: The Fall Push From Grace
It was a valiant effort on the archangel's part. Months spent planning and organizing with his fellow servants all culminated to the day, the hour, the minute, the very second that he stood up and confronted the King for change, but nobody else stood with him. His peers, the cowards that they were, had all quietly backed out amid their own fears of dire consequences. And dire they were.
The King took a very no-tolerance approach to his guard's punishment. There would be no chances, there would be no discussion. Lucifer Morningstar was stripped of his title and his name—he was to be called Satan from then on—"adversary." He had his wings ripped from his back and he was banished from Heaven to reside wherever he landed. The next closest realm? Storybook.
Chapter I: The Fable
In the beginning, life in Storybook was a major downgrade for the freshly-minted devil. On orders from his King, Storybook's highest authorities kept a trained eye on Satan and he was forced to live in the shadows of the underworld. He spent a millennia as the lowest of the low, still forced to answer to his King and complete missions in both the human and fable worlds.
But, he still had his beliefs. He held onto them tightly, as if they were the only thing he had because, in a way, they were. And, when he'd built up enough strength and enough supporters, he decided that he would no longer answer to the King, or any other authorities.
Instead, he built his own kingdom from the ground up underneath the surface where he'd made his home. The next several millennia were spent as a king of the underworld, one of many but certainly one of the best.
If his former King saw him as an adversary, he would be just that. He ruled with an strict hand and a silver tongue, spreading temptation, trickery, and misery to all deserving humans and fables. Only the deserving ones. That was something he made sure of. He never wanted the innocent to suffer and he always gave those straddling the line the free will to make their own good or bad decisions before ultimately executing his punishment.
Chapter II: The Man
After 15 billion years of living, though, one gets bored with the same life, day in and day out. So, the devil decided that he would walk among man permanently; at least for a little while. He left Storybook within the past year or so to experience life as your average, perhaps abnormal human. Going by the alias Victor, he's been enjoying a lowkey life that's occasionally spiced up with the odd trickery and deceit.
