Prompt: Lucifer/Michael, dreams of burning wings
Once, together, they were the greatest force yet born, woven from God's magnificence, of Him and in Him, better than anything that is, or was, or will ever be.
Once, together, they soared in eternity, whispering and murmuring mind-to-mind, equals in unending light.
Once, apart, they were broken—one proud and disgraced, the other loyal despite desire.
Once, apart, they stared across the battlefield, swords in hands and despair in hearts.
Once, apart, separated by hurt and rage, one was cast from Heaven by the might of the other, and he did not fight as hard as he would have, had it been anyone else.
Once, apart, they wept for each other, separated by time and worlds, pride and pain, by God's decree.
Once, together, poured into blood-brothers, they stared across the battlefield, one holding a knife and the other a gun.
Once, together, hearing their vessels' voices, they lower the weapons and ignore God's word.
"Fuck this," Michael says, striding forward.
Lucifer smiles, meeting him.
Once, together, wrapped in human-skin and dreaming their vessels' shared dreams, they watch as angels scream, wings burning in hellfire, and God commands, Michael, My son, destroy the Adversary!
Once, together, listening to Lucifer's heartbeat, Michael remembers soaring across eternity with his one equal, and he replies, I should have Fallen with him.
They will never part again.
