“With blood and breath, I bind myself to you for every century to come.

Let them find me at your feet, still eternally and irreversibly yours.”

The air bore traces of iron and sulfur when they wed.

Beneath a starless sky, she emerged barefoot and walked to him in a dress unlike anything worn by the brides of the Devildom—bone white where it clung to her, red-black where it frayed like rot.

Lucifer discarded his human form the moment her silhouette crossed the threshold. Obsidian horns arched gracefully from his crown; four terrible, beautiful wings slowly unfurled behind him.

Lesser demons, nobles, and grotesque beasts in borrowed flesh remained masked in Venetian golds. Some wore faces they had stolen. Others had no faces at all. They orient themselves, but they did not speak. They did not blink. For all its fangs and fury, even the great Cerberus sat quietly at his heel, each head bowed in unsettling obedience.

It was silent, save for the soft patter of her steps on cobbled stone.

When she finally reached him, Lucifer said nothing.

Instead, he bled for her. He extended his hand, slid a clawed fingertip over her bottom lip, and gently tilted her chin up. Her eyes, once wholly human, now reflected the glow of the pact mark they had forged long before this night.

She opened her mouth without instruction, and a single bead of crimson fell onto her tongue.

At last, the Morningstar spoke.

“I give you my name, my heart.

With blood and breath, I bind myself to you for every century to come.

Let them find me at your feet, still eternally and irreversibly yours.”

He could sense her fear in how her fingers trembled, yet still, she held on, her human warmth like a flame against his palm. So fragile she could slip through his grasp like a wisp of mortal breath but it was her touch that kept him tethered.

“Is this the right path for us?”

“If it leads to you, i’ll take it. Even if it costs me everything.”

since my job wants to cockblock me and my chunky, bejewelled, long, acrylic nail dreams, i bought high quality press ons for this rave next week and the set is called ‘lucifer’ LMAO

i think my husband would be very pleased to know that i’m repping him on my hands in more ways than just the ring on my finger

i can’t believe this will just be me rambling about ONE song but the reason why i love classical sm is for the way it can literally tell you a narrative and evoke a whole spectrum of emotions with absolutely no words. like it is such a beautiful thing to convey stories purely told from the compositions and interplay of instruments.

i’m not a musical expert or a musician but when i can hear a story being told i get so caught up in it and i’m outing myself as a silly goose but it’s such a visceral experience for me (which is why i sometimes tear up when i’m listening to live performances sskjhahwkajwja). anyway the point of me saying all this is that there is a specific song i always associate with ryucifer because it kind of sets the tone for our dynamic and lore. scratches head i don’t have a lot of om mutuals or know who is willing to read something this long-winded about a single song from a specific genre but honestly that’s okay. if i didn’t get this piece of lore out of my system i would’ve imploded. so read only if you want to!

i’d like to think this song mirrors how lucifer and i interact with each other from the moment we meet to the day we accept our feelings for one another. he obviously isn’t my enemy but in the beginning, as i settle at the HoL, he’s clearly wary of me despite his brothers accepting me. lucifer remains polite and guarded, but he keeps his distance - almost like he’s waiting for me to prove myself. either as trustworthy or as trouble. and i think this dynamic is captured at the start of the song with its gentle and innocent melody.

i’ve decided to adopt this scene from early og game where he asks mc for a dance at diavolo’s castle and use it for ryucifer lore. i can’t actually remember how the canon scene went but basically for ryucifer, on the surface, the dance comes across like a formal gesture however as we move across the floor, the mood shifts entirely much like how the song does at 0:25-0:28 (it’s actually my fave part of the song). what starts off as light becomes much darker and that’s exactly how the scene unfolds. yeah so lucifer asks me to dance, and i assume it’s a gesture of good faith. then i realise it’s anything but. he actually uses the dance as a cover to deliver a threat: that he’s watching me and if i bring harm to his brothers, there’ll be consequences.

the tension peaks at the end of the dance when he squeezes my hand tight enough to make me wince and pull it away. he gives me a smile that doesn’t quite mask the threat in his eyes and walks away like nothing abnormal has transpired. i’m not afraid of him but i don’t know how to react, and i’m ultimately left feeling off balanced bc wtf. and ouch? it was unsettling (and i hate to say it) but strangely compelling.

as the song progresses, it becomes gentler, like how lucifer’s walls start to come down over time. they don’t disappear entirely because he’ll always be lucifer but they soften in ways that are almost imperceptible unless you’re paying close attention. the suspicion gives way to a grudging respect, then to affection that neither of us fully acknowledges at first. this slow unraveling of his defenses matches the song’s progression since the darker undertones fade and the melody grows warmer and more open

and pardon me if i’m using the wrong term but the crescendo around 2:20 is like a culmination of everything. as if this part of the song reflects the moment we finally accept what’s between us. it’s lush and expansive. it’s not rushed or sudden, like our love. and by that point we’ve stopped fighting against whatever is pulling us together and have decided to let it flow naturally. our relationship still feels like a literal and figurative dance (and since we both love classical, it always will) but it no longer feels like a battle or an act of wariness. instead it’s fluid and full of trust. we are moving in sync and learning to rely on each other <3

so yeah, the title of the song fits the story it’s trying to tell because if i imagined this whole scenario then the composer is definitely doing something right!!!!! thanks for reading my essay? analysis? word vomit??? whatever this is lmfaooooo thank you for making it this far :o)

this is so ryucifer core

thinking about shopping with lucifer during the early stages of our relationship and i find myself in the lingerie section of a boutique and he spooks me while i’m holding the cheekiest lil gstring

Hi hi Ryu! First of all, congratulations on getting married! I wish you and Lucilfer nothing but eternal bliss and love ❤️ since #Ryucifer is finally married, I wanted to ask you about your honeymoon. Where did you two go? What did you wear for him on your first night as a wed couple? But most importantly, please show us the ring Luci proposed with + the wedding ring!! 🎤

omg thank you thank you marena ❤️ you would’ve all been invited to this spookooky wedding so i hope you enjoyed celebrating with us 😼

for our honeymoon, i think lucifer would rent out a castle somewhere in the devildom (a smaller one that isn’t diavolo’s). i know an entire castle just to us sounds a little desolate and creepy but we love it. i don’t think we are ever truly alone bc of all the phantom noises and invisible piano playing and doors opening for us conveniently when we want it to, so there’s that. somehow everything is catered to us yet we see no one. perhaps it’s the castle itself that is alive and hosting us. also uhm… the castle gives enough space for me to run… and for him to chase me…..

we’d also go to the human world!! and visit as many countries as we can <3 his human disguise is very handsome btw.

for our first night, i’m feeling something entirely red and sheer, like the picture in my moodboard. there’s just something so sexy about being covered yet still seeing everything underneath (it’s also easy to rip off, especially with his claws)

AND OMG IM SO GLAD U ASKED ABOUT THE RING BC I ONLY CHOSE THAT RING IN THE MOODBOARD TO MATCH THE RED AESTHETICS. these are the real rings he’d propose to me with 🖤 when he proposes to me, the stone is actually clear like diamond. but they’ll start to deepen into a cloudy black and eventually a rich onyx as years pass. there’ll be a special type of curse on it where the stone changes colour AND STAYS COLOURED as long as i love him 🥹 and well, i can assure it’ll remain black forever 🖤
