Okay finale rollercoaster aside it was the "where are you?" and "I'm here" softly holding Crowley by the waist and helping him walk for me 🥺

Divinity lams AU?

Alex is some divine, etheral being and John is just a pathetic and lost fallen angel who swears his devotion to this 'otherworldly being' for the privilege of following him around and being with him for eternity because it gives him a purpose. And at first, Alex just sees him as this sad soul whos's lost and doesnt know what to do and genuinely takes pity on him; but eventually it goes from a 'worshiped and worshiper' relationship to a relationship in which Alex see's him as an equal despite being nothing but.

And even before this, John had been searching for guidance through other people because he never fully trusted his instincts and yet this had only led him to be distrusting because the very reason he had 'fallen' was because he had followed anothers lead. In turn, he turned to etheral 'gods' who he knows cant do him wrong because they'll always view themselves as above him, and with pledging his devotion, they cant turn on him because he will forever be their faithful subject.

Unfortunately for John his devotion borders more on obsession. He loves looking up to see someone so majestic staring back down at him with such a soft smile in contrast to piercing eyes and to know Alex would be looking at him makes his heart flutter and insides melt and skin on In fire(figuratively..) and makes him just want to cut off his wings and give them to Alex as a sign of his true adoration he holds for him. And obviously this concerns Alex. I mean, his poor devotee is willing to do anything for him but theres a line, right? Alex still cares for him of course, what kind of being would he be if he allowed someone to sacrifice their own peace for him?

Cue emotional outburst number one! John would be rambling softly about how if he had the strength he would just rip out his wings and alex has to lean down and gently rest his palm on John's cheek to tell him not to ruin his beautiful wings and that being with him is devotion enough for him and that physical pain in his name would only cause harm. And then tears, of course, in natural angst fashion.

Oh, and John has an immense fear of corrupting Alex the entire time due to the fact hes a 'sinner' (by his own standards) and being in the presence of such divinity as a 'corrupted being' puts Alex at risk to fall from his stance of power. But even despite his fear he can't leave not only due to this eternal soul-binding agreement, but because being in his presence makes him feel alive and as though he can feel love again even after he had failed in doing so for so many years. But in the end Alex doesnt see himself as higher or with more power but as an equal.

John would have 'given up' his ability to feel love for another in order to be fully devoted to Alex, and yet he was convinced he didnt have it in the first place so he decided he wouldnt be giving it up if he never had it. But in turn he discovered that he did have the ability to love, but it had to be discovered through giving up the ability to love anyone other than Alex, and in a way hes happier with that.

But even so, John doesnt think hes worthy enough to be so close to someone so much better than he is, and he does view it as a privilege to be there until Alex tells him to stand up in which he physically has to look down at alex(he would stand at other points, of course, but he would never physically look down. If alex would speak to him he would physically attempt to lower his height to keep Alex above him by his own personal will.) But that is the point where he would cup johns face and then tell him that he's wonderful and the most faithful devotee hes had the 'honor' of being with and then tears. so many tears. so many pent up tears form years john has been telling himself that he cant feel love and to even be in the vicinity of Alex is a privilege that he doesnt deserve just to be told to his face that this divine being loves him and appreciates everything hes done and he doesnt want John to be hurt for him.

FINALL SOMEONE WHO ALSO THINKS FOUL LEGACY IS HOT

hear ME OUT ON THIS:

Childe going into Foul Legacy while you two are sparring (for shits and giggles yk how gingers are /j) and instead of being terrified, you see it as a big puppy askdfkad I JUST WANT TO PET IT IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK HOYOVERSE???

you. you get it

when he transforms into Foul Legacy, your stance changes almost INSTANTLY, going from battle-ready to staring at him, eyes wide and hands covering your mouth. Childe tilts his head, a bit concerned for you- you're still sparring, right? so why is your weapon on the floor?

as you step closer Childe lowers his spear, instinctively trying to make himself seem smaller- if it was anyone else he'd use this opening to attack, but he doesn't want to scare you at all. your fingers twitch, hand extending before drawing back slightly

"Can I...?"

Childe blinks, finally understanding what you're asking, and lowers himself further so you can rest your hand in his fluffy copper hair, wings flitting at your gasp of delight. gently you stroke his ginger locks, combing and untangling it with your fingers, ruffling it, scritching behind his horns, and Childe finds himself melting into your touch, spear clattering onto the floor. he sits at your feet, leaning against your chest as you pet him, letting out small coos and chirps of bliss

purr

you do a double take, glancing down at Childe- yes, he's purring, his Foul Legacy form is purring and nuzzling against your hands, gleaming eye slipping shut. when you try to pull your hands away, Childe whines, looking at you imploringly and delicately grasping your wrists to pull them back, re-settling your hands in his hair. you gradually make your way downwards, scratching underneath his chin, and Childe cranes his head backwards in sheer delight, happy squeaks and trills coming from his mouth

"So cute..."

Childe chitters at your words, fur fluffing up with pride- his favorite person thinks he's cute!! he just about turns into a monster-y puddle when you swoop down and leave a kiss on his forehead

needless to say, not a lot of sparring gets done after that

i do love it when jal are written as aggressive and rough with each other but i love gentle jal as well. i love them being so overwhelmed and confused by what they feel they just don’t say anything at all, too scared to ruin anything. i love them dropping the cruel pretences, if only momentarily, and allowing themselves a moment of vulnerability with each other, entirely depending all too recklessly on trust and shared understanding. i love their quiet moments where they’re not quite touching but the energy is almost palpable. i love the intensity of their softness, it all being so unknown and alien to them, as they both flounder trying to make sense of it all.
