Let's be real. This is how Lucifer weaponized Angel Crowley. xD

The inspiration

[0ldstoneface]

In the light of the morning star

Long before he became the cynical demon Crowley, Kokabiel had been a starry-eyed angel. But faced with the biggest disappointment of his life, there is only one person he can turn to.

This fic was written both for the Rare Omens event 2026 "Crowley + Lucifer" and for the Do It With Style event "Maggie's Record Shop" and was inspired mainly by the song "I Won’t Say (I’m In Love)" by Susan Egan but also by "Ravens in the library" by S J Tucker.

Because we all know what happens next, it also qualifies for the Tragedy Thursday of the Ineffable Countdown, thank you @maidenimage for organising it!

Thanks a lot to @angie-words, @bohoteacher and @sakascal for beta reading it ❤️

| summary |

Half a lifetime ago, Anthony J Crowley met Luca Morningstar on summer holiday entirely by chance. 25 years later, chance brings them together once again, the once safe harbour of Luca’s arms proving itself to be as warmly welcoming as ever in spite of time passed.

Almost as if it had been waiting for Crowley’s return.

| excerpt |

Crowley tries not to stare, resists the urge that pulls at his neck. Attempts to drown the temptation in the amber liquid of whisky as he brings it to his mouth, the cool lip of the glass useless in dispersing the glittering, brambly sort of sensation of possibly recognising and being recognised in turn.

If it’s who he thinks it is, Crowley’s cheeks will soon join the burning ranks of his throat, the victim of a searing blush instead of a casualty born of a harsher-than-he’d-like scotch.

He’s looking at Crowley, now; the gaze of a watchful observer landing on his person, non threatening but unmistakable.

Crowley’s heart races as his body takes on a will of its own and begins to turn, knees shifting to the left as his torso twists in tandem—

—the man is already walking towards him, drink in hand.

Excerpt:

Whenever I saw you, I rarely saw you alone. Often, Lucifer had wrapped you in his arms, whispering in your ear, and you smiled back at him with bright eyes. You two were the most beautiful of God's creations, your divinity and love shining almost as bright as Her's.
