@hlylight asked: " Long time no see, Adam " - Hlylight, Lilith

Adam startled, feathers fluffing up in suprise at the familiar voice. "Oh, fuck!"

The bird blinked a few times, staring at Lilith like he was seeing a ghost. Then, a very nervous grin appears on his face as he begins to fiddle with his claws. "Shit, uh. Hey, Lilith.... Fuck, yeah. It's, ah, been a while, huh?"

*Ꮺㅤ▬▬ㅤ𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 ◞ㅤ[ @hlylight | Sera ]ㅤpreaches:ㅤ“I have tried to be patient. I have tried to hold empathy for the… trying time you have been going through but even that has grown thin.” Sera's teeth clicked at the end of it. She was being pulled apart by the seams, indecision & indecisiveness battling under skin. Wrath, sloth, pride— “& for that, I have made the difficult decision that you need to take some time off as second commander,” Sera's hand moved & a portal opened. In it, a reminder with teeth of plush nature & wildlife. “We will collect you once you have made decisions aligning with what is best for Heaven. Am I understood?”

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤWhat the fuck?! “W–wait—Sera, please just—” The words come out cracked, splintering mid-air, her voice failing her at the worst possible moment. Her chest seizes in a sickening clutch; her ribs having become a cage, shrinking around something thrashing & frantic. Light flickers under her skin in disordered, spasming bursts that all but demonstrate the panic she’s trying [ & failing ] to suppress. The polished floor of the immaculate conference chamber reflects every stuttering flash, turning her unraveling control into an unbearable mirror she is unable to escape. Feathers quivering so violently that a few sheer free & dissolve into ash before they touch the ground, “I— that’s not— I’m not refusing—” The words collapse one after another, tripping over each other in a tangle that doesn’t sound like her at all. The walls seem to tilt toward her, pressing in, crowding her breath; she swallows hard, the motion rough enough to scrape her throat raw. “Sera, please— I can fix this— I can—” Her fingers tighten around the edge of her uniform, [ grasping for grounding; for anchor ] for anything that stops her blood from racing like it wants to burst straight through her skin. She forces another breath, but it sticks halfway, a painful half-inhale that stutters like it might break her in two…

The portal’s glow drenches the room in shifting, unnatural color; she takes a small step back. Something tightens in her throat, [ sharp & rising, ] threatening to split her voice entirely. “Time… off?” she echoes in a squeak, barely audible, barely even herself. Her heart kicks against her ribs in frantic, uneven bursts; the light in the conference hall flickers overhead in jagged spasms as her internal regulation begins to fracture, “Seraphim, please, don’t do this… I don’t need rest! I don’t need reassignment! I’m not—” She clamps her jaw shut; her wings twitch in pure distress, feathers splaying in uneven, unstable angles, [ “Am I understood?” Sera repeats, & the command spears through her like a verdict, ] Lute’s breath falters, leaving her suspended in a single agonizing second where heat, fear, shame, & desperation ricochet inside her skull with no escape route. All her stature falls away; in this moment, she isn’t the second beside Archangel & Adam — she’s just Eve all over again, trembling under the same ancient weight. The misstep, the burden, the one Heaven still treats like a lesson instead of a soldier… [ The truth is… Lute never been anything more, ]

She forces her tongue to move; forces her voice to surface, “Yes. I— I… accept the reassignment parameters,” she manages, the faintest tremor slipping through despite her effort to crush it; forcing her breathing into a soldier’s cadence, “I’ll report when summoned…” & with that, she steps toward the portal…

She truly hated seeing Sera like this, someone she considered a mother figure. Her heart ached for her. "It's okay, Sera." She said softly, wrapping her arms around her. "It's okay to get lost sometimes... Maybe I can help you find your path again." She offered, squeezing her a little. "We're all a little lost right now, but it doesn't always mean it's a bad thing. Sometimes getting lost can result in a great adventure." She let go, soaring in the air gleefully before diving back down and taking the older seraphim's face in her hands. "At least you aren't lost alone, I'm here."

@hlylight / sera said: ’ I’m lost. ’

[firstwcman]

@hlylight asked, “Remember as you grow to have love and reverence for all living things.”

"Seraphim, what do you mean?" The idea of anything else did not feel.. right. It's a concept that didn't feel appropriate, that was to be sure. It made no sense. Lilith turned her head to face Sera, the red-dappled corn snake wrapped in circles around her forearm flicking its tongue at the blooming angel in loving greeting.

// basically Adam and Sera's relationship.

when was the last time someone touched you like this? ( Lilith @ Eve )

new intimacy / @hlylight

gasping, eve's back arches, pressing her stomach further against lilith's. she's never straddled anyone, let alone been touched for her own pleasure. lilith's hands slide under her clothes, thumbs over her ribs and fingers on her back, making eve whine when they reach under her bra, deft fingers undoing her bra easily. another gasp is pulled out of her when thumbs brush over her nipples, hands gripping lilith's shoulders as she's touched and explored in ways no one has before.

"lilith - " eve gasps, hips pressing into hers, "never. just you. don't stop, please."

[bringsin]

Out of all the faces of Heaven to see again, there is one Lilith aches for. She keeps her distance from Adam, that baggage too heavy, and Sera who cannot decide between pity and hatred. It only when she sees her, her darling from the Garden, does she run. Picks her up and spins her feeling as if her wings could spring again somehow despite the odds. "Eve ! "

unprompted / @hlylight

"lilith!" eve exclaims, throwing open her arms in time for the other woman to lift and spin her, giggling with a joy she hasn't felt in years. heaven was suffocating, but maybe it would get better with the other woman. she hasn't loved or felt loved by adam in decades, hasn't received warmth like this in just as long. eve hugs her tightly, not wanting to part, but pulls back when the questions outweigh the happiness. "what are you doing here? is lucifer okay?"

[bringsin]

" Now why am I filling this out again ? " @hlylight ; husk

"to prove we're a perfect match!" he grins, snatching the bingo sheet and stuffing it into his fluff.
