Fic under the cut. TBH, the original plan for Seize the Crown is already finished. I had only intended for some artdumps where the Vees fucked with Lucifer, sorta topping it all off with Vaggi, Charlie, and the Sins finding him. This one and the events of the soiree are just little gap filler extras.

Seize the Crown AU - Masterpost
>>>><<<<
Vaggie seethed. Vox was casually humiliating Charlie with the pictures he's showing off. A fist through that infuriating screen would be way more entertaining in her opinion.
Sensing the grumbles and smoke coming out of her infernal company, it seemed the Deadly Sins were equally pissed.
But they had to keep their cool. Violence would only serve to fuel Vox's narrative.
She and the Deadly Sins had been provided their own table beside the Overlords. So far, the plan's going accordingly. Husk and the others were able to enter Vee Tower unnoticed, as Emily reported.
Now they have to deal with the weapon.
She's thankful that they showed up when they did back at the hotel. She'd been wracking her brain for ideas on how to destroy the weapon, but nothing came up. She'd just figure something out, she thought. Then the portals opened and the six of them came rushing in.
The attack on Heaven was big news in all Seven Rings of Hell.
"There's only one being in Hell with Holy Light that powerful," Satan said.
"Lucifer." Vaggie confirmed what was on all the Sins' minds. "Vox said he's here, but we haven't seen any sign of him."
"Well, he has to be nearby if that thing has that much power" Asmodeus began as he felt a headache come on.
Vaggie and the Deadly Sins in deep discussion; Occasionally throwing glances at their table. Vaggie, in particular, kept looking at her.
….
Carmilla gritted her teeth. They were up to something.
Movement. The Sins dissipated in discreet wisps of colors. Carmilla groaned as the former exorcist approached.
"Carmilla." Vaggie took the empty seat beside her. "I need your help."
Carmilla wasted no time. "Whatever it is you're planning, I want no part in it."
Vaggie sighed. "Even if heaven's gone, Vox will still have a doomsday weapon. How safe do you think you and your family will be then?"
Carmilla clenched her fists. She gave Vaggie a hard look.
"I cannot help you."
A burst of light interrupted Vaggie. The Might of Lilith was encased in a golden glow.
The Deadly Sins looked so helpless. Vox couldn't help a little giggle. "Surprise! The weapon's got this cool feature that keeps away demons of a more… infernal variety."
"Shit!" Vaggie desperately turned to Carmilla. The latter avoided her gaze
Before Vox could continue, all his screens glitched and turned bright yellow. "Wait, what the fuck?"
"Hah! Guess what, fucker!" Charlie brazenly countered. "We got a surprise for you too!"
>>>><<<<
Sorry to disappoint the folks expecting the Sins to be glazed but the Vees are gonna be a threat due to having control of Lucifer's power.
I remember seeing complaints that, with how powerful Lucifer is, every possible conflict would logically turn into a 'just sic Lucifer on it". I think the little 'can't harm sinners' clause along with Lucifer's own emotional vulnerabilities that then opened the stakes of him being used as a tool by the bad guys is actually pretty neat.
Charlie's bright smile. Her excited squeals. The pride and joy that was bursting from his chest as his little girl toddled towards him...
...was now a distant memory.
Lucifer opened his eyes and brought a hand to reverently cradle the figurine he had finished pouring his heart into.

Hey folks! Supposed to be 2 scenarios here. But I split them up. Here we have an angsty lightbringer au appetizer before the whumpy entree. @angels-is-birds inspired this one.
Something I saw in your earlier posts. What's Panacea elixir? Is it like some kind of healing potion?
"This is from Heaven."
Asmodeus swallowed heavily as Lucifer scrutinized him. The King of Hell was generally lackadaisical. He had hoped that handwaving it as a mortal offering would be enough of an answer.
But of course even Lucifer; in his strongest 'I do not give a fuck' moments, would have questions when handed an angelic bottle of holiness and purity.
"Panacean Elixers. Can heal any known ailment. It's powerful stuff," Lucifer recalls. "Raphael keeps a good eye on these. There's no way he'd let mortals have it."
....
Yep. Panacean Elixers are powerful healing concoctions created by the Panacea himself. It is to Raphael what Asmodean Crystals are to Ozzie.
“ Lucifer, Lilith, and Eve are kinda a polycule here” in Lightbringer au? I’m curious about this one! Tell me more!
It was an accidental meeting at a small pond. Lu was on Earth playing with the ducks, dreading her upcoming wedding to Michael, when Lilith comes charging past some trees. At this time, Lilith had run away from Adam. And there were angels sent to retrieve her.
Lu helps her evade the angels. They develop a bond as Luzbel continues to help her hide
The angels eventually gave up searching for her and heaven created another mortal woman, Eve.
Eve goes through the same shit with Adam. Meets Lu and Lily and also tried to run when Lilith suggested it. But things were different this time around. For Heaven has made Eve using a portion of Adam, binding her to him upon her Creation.
Lu and Lily learn of this and are infuriated of course.
But they could do nothing but offer Eve some comfort. The trio grow close through this.
As Luzbel grows fond of these humans, her heart starts to ache for their fate as mortals. They were not meant to be Eternal as her. Their souls, to be nourished by the life they'd live, will be used as energy that maintains the foundations of heaven upon their inevitable death. From dust they came, to dust they shall return.
So Luzbel seeks for a way to grant Eternal Life to a Mortal Soul.
And she finds it in herself. Her soul still held the radiance of the Creator. Sharing the Creator's divinity with the mortals would grant them eternal life. Even undo whatever hold Adam was given on Eve.
She makes the ultimate sacrifice. A part of her soul. Her halo.
Eh, Michael being shit. Takes place after Fall to Grace. This one's mild, but still dark and whumpy.
The Lightbringer AU - Masterpost
>>>><<<<
Lucifer lay limp and naked in Michael's bed, still weak from the punishment he endured. A couple of cherub attendants are tending to him with Michael seated on a nearby chair, watching carefully.
Michael soon takes over and dismisses the cherubs.
He shrinks away from Michael's evaluating gaze. He remembers the look on the lightmaker's face when he learned of his past pregnancy. It was cold and cruel. That same expression was worn throughout Lucifer's punishment. Lucifer wouldn't be surprised if Michael volunteered to conduct the punishment himself.
He holds his breath as Michael continues the attendants' task of drying him.
He stiffens when Michael moves him to check the remains of his wings. The angelic gold has hardened into a seal where each wing used to be. Lucifer won't be able to regrow his wings until they are removed. "One day, we'll appeal your sentence. Exhibit good conduct and the Order may let you regain your wings."
Lucifer just nods, a lump forming in his throat.
Michael throws the towel on the chair he vacated. A snap of his fingers, and he's out of his regalia.
Lucifer's composure shatters.
"No," Lucifer breathes out. He starts hyperventilating. He tries to move away as the larger angel joins him on the bed. "No! No, please!"
"Hush now." Michael spoons him, wrapping his arms around the smaller angel's torso. This reduces Lucifer into fearful sobs and desperate attempts to pry Michael's arms off. It rends Michael's heart... just as much as it gives him hope.
His proud star is finally falling apart.
He can gather the pieces, arrange them in his own design; A dalle de verre of the Morningstar set in humility.
And he must handle the shards with care.
"I won't take you tonight, my star," Michael whispers. He has his boxers on. "I'm not so cruel as to expect your service after the difficult day you had." He wraps his wings around his lightbringer. "Rest easy."
The sobs aren't quelled. If anything, Lucifer weeps harder.
With a resigned sigh, Michael places a hand to Lucifer's forehead and utters a spell. There's a gentle glow. Lucifer begins to calm down.
As he feels his Morningstar's breathing even out, Michael swears he'll find and kill Lucifer's infernal spawn and the one who dared debase his lightbringer.
WARNING: DEAD DOVE | MISGENDERING | VIOLENCE | RAPE | MUTILATION
Hoo boy here we go. Brace yourselves guys. Set before Fall to Grace.
>>>><<<<
Summoned by the Highest Order of Light, Michael flies into the newly finished embassy on the hallowed ground floating above the Pride Ring.
Constructed by the Herald Division under Chief Archangel Gabriel, It is known as The Stairway, with a large portal opening into heaven above. An astral projection of an Archon appears. Michael greets and tells the Archon of their victory and offers to show him around their new colony. The Archon declines and gets straight to the point.
The Highest Order of Light has decreed that the Morningstar must be brought back to Heaven to face punishment for her disobedience. Michael hesitates at first but agrees. The meeting ends.
....
Lucifer is curled up in the corner of his bed, wings wrapped around his naked body protectively, and buried under the covers. He quietly sobs. He barely touched the food the angelic guards bring him. Only when Michael orders him to eat, and even then, he does so sparingly.
His people are being subjugated, the home he built away from heaven now forced to fit heaven's design. And Michael. Michael indulged in his lust, for Lucifer and for vengeance.
On the first night, Michael took him multiple times until he passed out. He'd take him every time he turned in for the night.
Under Michael's watchful gaze, healers attended to him. Despite this, his lower half aches from Michael's nightly abuse. His forehead and backside burns from the Holy Light Michael used to cut out his horns and tail. The angel had planned to cut his hooves off as well, but thankfully changed his mind.
He stiffens when he feels someone sit on the bed, pull the covers, and part his wings. Lucifer doesn't resist, but makes sure to hide any trace of his crying when he finally looks Michael in the eye.
A couple of cherubic attendants hovered behind Michael. They were holding a dress. A very familiar dress.
"It is one of yours," Michael says gently, hoping Lucifer would display some appreciation for the gesture. He reaches a hand out to help Lucifer up.
Lucifer ignores the offered hand and sits up on his own. Michael just lets out an annoyed grunt. "We are leaving for heaven," he explains. "The Order of Light is expecting us."
...
Dressed as he was in heaven, Lucifer can't help the discomfort clawing at his throat. But his face remains neutral. Michael has a hand on the back of his neck and is practically steering him, an entourage of Michael's crusaders following closely.
The proud reds and blacks are stamped over with heaven's blues and whites. And the throne room they enter…
Lucifer's composure cracks.
The throne room mostly remained the same, but mounted on the wall like trophies are his crown, horns, and tail. The latter coiled like a frame around the first two. And emblazoned in gold beneath the macabre display is his name.
"LUCIFER"
Lucifer feels his stomach drop to his feet.
"Well well well, look who's finally suffering the consequences of her actions."
Adam enters the scene. He gives Lucifer a lascivious once-over before turning to Michael. "I hope you made it hurt. Your pretty little bitch needs to learn her place the hard way."
"Watch your language, first man." Michael warns. "What I do with my Lightbringer is none of your concern."
Adam isn't fazed and gives Lucifer a hateful glare. "She stole my wives!"
Lucifer haughtily tilts his chin upward. "Maybe they wouldn't have left if you didn't put yourself above them."
With a clenched fist, Adam stalks forward. "Why I oughta--" He stops upon seeing the warning look Michael gives him, the entourage helping to enforce the point. "You just gonna let her mouth-off like that?!"
Michael gets pensive. "I suppose you are owed an apology for the losses you incurred from Luzbel's crimes," He concedes. He gives Lucifer a look whilst gesturing to Adam. "Go on, Luzbel."
Lucifer's eyes widens, aghast at what is expected.
"Well, My Lady," Adam sneers. "I'm waiting…"
Lucifer grit his teeth. "I'm sorry," he finally says with a small bow. "--that Lilith and Eve were forced to marry a pig like you!" he adds with a vicious smirk.
It happens fast. Before Adam can even finish the insult he yelled out, Michael slaps Lucifer on the face. A tight grip on his upper arm prevents him from losing balance before another blow is delivered to the opposite side.
"Heck yeah!" Adam cheers. "I hope the Order hits you even harder! Bet they'll rip your wings off! Oh! Oh! I hope they take your eyes! Cut out your tongue too like they did with all those other mouthy bitches! Maybe they'll whore you out to other Lightmake--"
"ADAM!" Michael thunders, his eyes glowing, voice legion, and wings bursting open in an intimidating display of seraphic eyes and cold white light. The entourage is pushed back by the force of the Seraphim's power. Lucifer only remained due to the grip Michael has on him.
Once he has the attention he commanded, Michael's eyes reverted to normal and he folds his wings. "You and your exorcist battalion are amongst those tasked to stay behind and maintain this realm under heaven's control. Is disturbing me just to antagonize my Lightbringer a part of it?!"
Adam, who had shrunk away at Michael's display, gulps nervously. "No, My Lord."
"Then get out of my sight!"
Adam gives a quick salute before flying away.
Michael just shakes his head. He gently cups Lucifer's face with the same hand he used to hit him moments ago, checking to see if there's damage. "I do not like harming you, Luzbel. Yet you always force my hand."
Lucifer gives him a watery glare and pulls his face from Michael's grasp. A tired sigh escapes Michael before he leads them to the Stairway.

Hazbin Hotel | Handmaid's Tale with a hint of Game of Thrones AU. Post-apocalyptic, shared-divinity universe. Basically, Heaven's a fascist theocratic regime that, after experiencing a massive catastrophe that wiped out many angels and left most of the survivors and descendants partially sterilized, have resorted to enslaving the few angels that still have the gift of true angelic procreation in order to rebuild their kingdom.
Is more of a freeform story. Will be art and fic form. But as of now, it is mostly in writing and asks. I may utilize an original design for Lucifer and other characters in some drawings.
