I'm flattered! Thank you!

The original idea for Starcross' Lucifer was definitely more like the type of monster that Shrike is, but after I revisited the idea later with more ideas about Heaven and Hell I got new ideas and scrapped that in favor of this, which simply seemed like the more interesting idea to me. Mastema wasn't much of an idea back then, but I'm glad I did go with this because her and Mastema are quite nice foils and writing their interactions is really nice. I don't remember what inspired me to make Lucifer initially such a normal angel, but I'm happy with that too, really fits in with this story's themes.

... Her and Beelzebub are also fun to write, and keeping their relationship something that never really ended up happening is just really fitting. I never really considered the alternative. It's best to have them both stew a bit, I suppose. And yes... Lucifer's summary has been rewritten several times as the story and world developed because it's a really big look into how a lot of it works, especially with Mastema and her brutality, yeah.

Poor Lucifer. All my sweetest characters seem to suffer the most. That's not even intentional but it just seems to keep happening. Whoops.
