Lucifer had gasped when you first shoved him back against the door of his study, a sound of shock so unbecoming of him. He prided himself on a lot of things, and his stoicism was one of them. You rip the humility from him with every graze of your teeth against his jugular, lips and tongue across his flesh.
Your fingers trace a line up his palm, pinning him to the wall by his wrists. His pants feel tighter by the second, a muffled groan in his throat as you press against it. A little bit more resolve crumbles when your teeth pull his bottom lip.
“Shit,” he hisses, so undignified, so desperate.
“What do you want from me, Luci?” You breathe out against his lips, nose brushing his.
“I want you to ruin me.” Lucifer almost whispers, a declaration meant only for you. You catch his lips in a kiss eagerly, hands falling from his wrists to his pants, the button fumbled in your fingers. He huffs through his nose, reaching around and grabbing your ass, pushing you into himself.
“I’ll ruin you,” you spit, shoving his pants down his hips and palming him through his underwear. Lucifer chokes on a moan. “I’m gonna make you wish you never kissed me.” You punctuate with a squeeze.
Lucifer, almighty Lucifer, cries out in blissful agony. “Yes, please do.”
I’m finally starting on the post(s) for my dear, dear MC.
Name: Lyra Nguyen
Personality: Friendly bookish bookworm, albeit an anxious 5 ft 6 in/167.64 cm Nonbinary Femme that is doing her best and both wants to know her forgotten past and how to figure out her uncertain future.
Appearance:

[And there are a lot, and I mean a LOT more arts of her under my ‘depictions by others’ tag on this very blog! The images above are just of the standard Apprentice!Lyra look(s), with the exception of the second image].
[This isn’t even touching upon the twelve—yes TWELVE— different timelines concerning post Upright/Reversed endings, and then her Librarian!Timelines—where she isn’t the MC in The Arcana, and the other timelines that were made for the fun of it!]
Likes: Loved ones/her Significant Other, books, black tea (with or without milk), apple pastries, calm/quiet days, etc.
Dislikes: Lies/lying, being micromanaged, her anxiety, cooked fish (she’s terrified of choking on the bones, but in regards to the alive ones, she just loves to stare at them for ages!), the smell of most alcoholic beverages/drunkards, holier-than-thou types of people, Valdemar, etc.
If you made it this far, I appreciate you reading through all this!
Don’t be shy. Let everybody have a turn combing Julian. Hand over the brush.

This is where the MAGIC happens, baybee!

(The Viewport result after combing and applying various settings - it renders a bit thicker than that, but I think he needs some more fuzz in the upper center of his chest... back to the drawing board 😩)
You take over the combing, I'm getting myself some ice cream lmao
Prompt(s): The LIs and your MC’s relationship with them.
The short of it: Lyra is paired with all the LIs of The Arcana. It’s just split into twelve different timelines. For the sake of readability/not wanting to put readers through thorough essays about each and every bit of said timelines, I’ll do my best to condense each bit into small paragraphs.
Asra—
Overall/In Other Routes: Lyra sees Asra as one of her closest, dearest friends. She’ll always find ways to keep in touch: be it keeping consistent correspondence while out of Vesuvia to finding time in her busy schedule to meet up with them. In Muriel’s route, Asra even officiates the wedding! There is, however, one timeline where their friendship is strained to its limit . . .
Upright (TOR: Compass Rose): He’s been there since the beginning of it all. Even if she can’t remember six of the nine years she’s actually known Asra, she wants nothing more than to make new memories with him. Be it in Vesuvia or some far-flung place on the continent over, she’s always found a home wherever Asra is.
Reversed (TOR: Songbird): Asra’s everything to her. He’s everything she’s ever known. He's also the only thing that she remembers.
[more under the cut!]

Nadia—
Overall/In Other Routes: Depending whether Lyra’s in an Upright or Reversed timeline, Lyra can be anywhere between having the utmost of respect for the Countess, to being totally neutral/indifferent. As a woman in her position, Nadia has a lot of responsibilities; Lyra doesn’t envy her in the slightest. If they’re friends, Lyra’s a visitor that Nadia looks forward to see. If they’re estranged or on hostile/unfriendly terms, at best it is awkward. At worst, it’s bitter and angry.
Upright (TOR: Emerald): Initially, Lyra only knew her as the widowed Countess. As she learned more about Nadia, she found a kindred spirit. While busy with their duties, they find each other—and their friends/loved ones—to lean on. The pair push each other to be better, and to do their best with whatever energies they have on a day to day basis.
Reversed (TOR: Ruby): With the new Devil being her significant other, Lyra’s found herself having many freedoms. Said freedoms, however, are at that the end of a very, very long leash. With the slightest sign of her Devil needing her presence, Lyra’s instantly transported back to the seat of Nadia’s throne. While free to do as she wishes, Lyra’s internal turmoil isn’t quelled in the least.
***
Julian—
Overall/In Other Routes: At best, she gets along with the fellow pun-loving doctor. At worst, interactions between the two of them can be either awkward or leave one or both of them completely and utterly exasperated. Julian isn’t the easiest person to be around, whether or not he does it intentionally. Lyra knows the man means well 89% of the time, but his flair for the dramatics makes her shake her head.
Upright (TOR: Voyager): Their relationship starts off not unlike a roller coaster. He’s wanted for murder, yet he doesn’t remember much from his time in the Red Plague. Lyra knows there’s more to the doctor than he lets on, especially when time and time again it seems like he’s a death seeker. After things are resolved, Lyra and Julian learn each other’s styles of affection. While Lyra is the more ‘serious’ of the pair, she’s not uptight to the point Julian’s shenanigans feel grating. Despite their very obvious differences, deep down beneath, they both care for the same things. They just go about it differently, especially when magic gets involved.
Reversed (TOR: Undertaker): They both have nightmares that feel endless. Both their bodies have changed, and they’re both doing their best to cope with it. Julian’s become something of a raven-based harpy, and Lyra’s shifting into a black sheep of sorts. Travelling together, Julian doesn’t pry much into what Lyra’s seen en route to finding him. It only comes up when Scout and Julian assist Lyra in sheering the excess amount of wool off of her skin and face. Despite it all, they’re together, and looking for their loved ones in their changed world. So long as they’re together, they can do anything.
A/N: It’s been taking longer than I would’ve liked to finish this, so I’m splitting this into two parts instead. If you made it this far, thanks for reading! Part 2 should be coming along soon enough.
So maybe it’s just my horny brain seeing everything as an opportunity for smut, but do you think Asra and mc have the magical equivalent of phone sex using the water Skype?
~ghoulfriendfangs
YES ABSOLUTELY
The first time probably happened by mistake with Asra reaching you while you were in the bath, but you took the opportunity when it presented itself and had some long distance fun with your dear magician.
Now when he’s out and about you’ll get his familiar face popping up in teacups and baths, any source of water. Though he has to make do with what he’s got, so most times he’s crouched down in front of a lake or puddle, hands buried between his thighs and he’s fell face first into the lakes/puddles more times than he can count if he’s particularly clumsy
Correction, I loved your yan barb snippet! I really really like the idea of him collecting mcs/the readers things, and when he licked over that peach pit? ahhhhhhhhHHH!!!!! So good! 😳🥵
