#i did briefly talk about a ddvd version of nightbringer a while back

[journey-to-the-attic]

zhao and ik get nightbrought and lucifer goes NUTS on simon istg. he gets so angry that he’d have created a second satan until mammon (somehow) calms him down and reminds him to think rationally.

(he gets all emotional holding ik’s little sweater that he had just finished ironing earlier that day)

without mammon they'd have to straight up sedate him somehow, because losing his adopted teen is awful enough in the jtta timeline - but losing both his husband AND their small daughter in ddvd is a hair's breadth from breaking him entirely, especially given there's literally nothing he can do about it

it'd take a good week for him to fully calm down from having gone absolutely crazy, and after that he's just Sad. when they decide that solomon will have to go get him alone, he gets it, but he is SO pissed off nevertheless. fully tells solomon that if he's not bringing his family back in one piece, he shouldn't bother coming back at all

also i just had a thought (not directly related but)... what if zhao's wedding ring was the ring of light..... the absolute Implications when past lucifer sees it. sure zhao can lie, but i feel like lucifer absolutely wouldn't be fooled by that
