The journal of an eccentric writer...

Weeeell...apparently winter has come early this year. As some of you may have heard, the Northeast US got slammed with a major snowstorm. My area got nearly a foot of snow dumped on us and lost electricity. So here I am at Starbucks, mooching off their wireless and hoping the power might be back when I come home.

Did I mention it's still October...? Yeah... -___-'

Anyway, here is a Lucifer/Beelzebub fic that I wrote for jestana for her birthday. I hope you like it, my dear! ^____^


Title: Beside You at the End
Fandom: Judeo-Christian mythology
Pairing: Lucifer/Beelzebub
Rating: PG
Summary: A somewhat bleaker look at Lucifer's existence post-Apocalypse. Yet even among the ashes, there is a green sprig of hope.
Notes: Written as a birthday fic for jestana who requested "hurt/comfort, Beelzebub/Lucifer".

( Beelzebub lies helpfully still on Lucifer's bed as the Devil wraps fresh bandages around the Duke's upper thigh. )

Have a happy Sunday, everyone! XD

drabbles 001-005

Here I am, back from my latest European adventure (and an unfortunate surprise!overnight stay in Canada, WTF weather?). Now that I've got a smidgeon of free time on my hands, I thought I'd type up the first five Lucifer/Beelzebub drabbles that I finished. Also featuring good!God, evil!God, and human!Lucifer/Beelzebub. Enjoy. ^^

I gotta say, I'm growing increasingly fond of this pairing. XD

A Happy Belated Valentines Day to my flist! Hope it was good for all of you. Myself, I skipped my 8 am class, had lunch with my father, and brought brownies in to my Victorian Britain class. After VB class, I also nipped up to Portsmouth for apple cider, a popover, and some new music. A good day in the life of Sam. X3

Today was much more trying. Besides taking a positively evil Intro to Logic test, I had my interview for an RA position. I've been trying wicked hard to get an RA post at UNH for next year, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I felt like I made a good impression during my interview, and I should know by next Thursday whether I've got the job or not.

Anyway, on a less serious note, I have some new Bible slash. Tis Lucifer/Gabriel based on this passage: "One of Gabriel's longest terms on Earth accounted for his most personal experience with mankind. Over a span of twenty-two years, he appeared at regular intervals to the prophet Mohammed in order to dictate to him the whole of the Koran. [...] and the prophet was careful to take down the Archangel's words verbatim.

During one of the last points of the transcription to Mohammed, however, Gabriel came to a very harsh passage and felt a moment of concern in the telling; unintentionally misspeaking the Word. As a result, upon his return to the realm of Heaven, Gabriel found the Gates impassable. For an unknown span of time, the Archangel awaited his return to Grace as he witnessed another, lesser angel, Dobiel, act as his proxy. At the end of his exile, Gabriel felt a call from beyond the curtain and returned to his station. No word was ever spoken of the incident by Gabriel or his winged brethren."
—The Book of Angels by Todd Jordan (page 62)

Although tBoA is more of a fantasy book about angels, this section piqued my interest so I researched it a little. While Gabriel did supposedly dictate the Koran to Mohammed, I couldn't find any mention of Gabriel screwing that up. However, I did find that, according to the Hebrew Talmud, Gabriel did get in trouble for disobeying a command, and when I looked at a translation of Yoma 77a in the Talmud, it did indeed say that he'd been exiled briefly with Dobiel acting as his proxy.

So yeah, this resulting story has been languishing half finished in my notebook since English class last semester. Then two weeks ago I decided to complete it and draw a little one page comic to go with it; on the whole I'm fairly pleased with them. One idea down, 10 bazillion to go. o_O

Title: Tempting the Messenger
Pairing: Lucifer/Gabriel
Rating: PG
Summary: After accidentally misspeaking the Word, Gabriel finds himself trapped outside Heaven's gates. Ever the Tempter, Lucifer makes an offer, but Gabriel is disinclined to accept.

I also drew some other slash art of my personal favorite Lucifer pairing: Lucifer/Beelzebub. *grin*

Also, a manga news update! I know some of my flist fancies the managa Pet Shop of Horrors. Well, the sequel Pet Shop of Horrors: Tokyo is finally in stores! I heard ages ago that TOKYOPOP had licensed it, but for a while, I didn't catch wind of any further plans. Then last week when I was in B. Dalton's bookshop, I was pleasantly surprised to finally see volume one. Ah, such joy. Hopefully the next volume will be out soon. *grin*
