Lucifer looked up from his copy of Revelation and turned to face his brother. “Azrael,” he said, surprised. “Why are you here?”

Azrael shrugged, examining their surroundings. “Beautiful,” he commented, staring down at the valley. “Not what I’d expect of the Adversary."

Lucifer closed the book, standing. “Have you come to kill me?” he asked.

Azrael shook his head. “You know I can’t, Sammael. Not even I have the strength to kill you.”

“Then why have you come?” Lucifer asked, walking to his brother’s side.

Azrael smiled. “I missed you. I am alone now, last of the first. I am the oldest still in Heaven—you Fell, Michael has long been gone, and Gabriel fled. Zachariah has taken command of Heaven. Nothing remains for me there, so here I am.”

Lucifer faced him. “You’re here to join me, brother?”

Nodding, Azrael gazed out over the river, the small beings that lived there. “I will not obey you, Sammael. But I do love you and I will fight for you. I will defend you.”

Lucifer considered for a moment. “When Gabriel and Michael return, will you leave me?”

Again, Azrael smiled. “You think Michael will follow Zachariah’s orders?” He laughed. “My children have met our brother in his new guise. Zachariah has already lost him and doesn’t even realize it.” He placed a hand on Lucifer’s shoulder. “When you convince your other half to accept you, Michael will awaken.”

Lucifer stared at him. “Azrael, what do you know?”

Instead of answering, because Azrael had never explained himself, he spread his wings and plunged off the cliff.

Gabriel will follow Michael, Lucifer heard Azrael say in his mind. And if you reconnect, if you stop fighting the pull, if you convince Samuel Winchester to welcome you home, Michael will follow and arise, and we will be four again. Lucifer watched his brother soar into the sky, wings pale silver and blue, until Azrael vanished from even his sight. Azrael would come back, he knew. Heaven held nothing for him without his brothers. If Gabriel refused to surface until Michael did, and Michael was gone until Sam Winchester said yes—well, it’d be a long time, for a human. But Lucifer breathed free air, and he could stretch his wings, and Sam would consent because they were two halves separated by eons.

He walked back to his chair and picked up Revelation, settling down to resume reading.

His brothers would return to him, and he would be whole again, and Creation would be theirs forever and ever, kingdom without end.

Closing his eyes, Lucifer stretched out with his half a soul, feeling for the rest. When he listened with those other ears, he heard a beloved voice call “Sammy” gruffly, in a tone full of anxiety—a big brother’s tone. Lucifer sighed, relishing it.

Only to his brothers had he ever been Sammael. But soon, soon, when they were again four, Michael would smile and laugh and Lucifer would have everything. “Sammy!” his brother’s voice called a second time. “Duck!”

Yes, Azrael would come back, Sam would say yes, Michael would awaken, and Gabriel would follow. 

Lucifer would cast away Hell and Satan, to reclaim Sammael. After eons, he’d shine brighter than the Son, as the Star of Morning, with his brothers at his side.

Let their father return, if he wished. He’d find a very different world than he left.

You write the most incredible Lucifer/Michael. Or just Lucifer in general, I just love it. Thanks! :)

[tigriswolf]

Oh, thank you so much!

It's great story but can you explain about sammy is Lucifer other half. Michael is not awaken? Is that mean he hasn't his memory

[tigriswolf]

Michael and Lucifer were both split in half; Dean and Sam complete them. Michael is sleeping, waiting for Dean to realize the truth, which won't happen until Sam learns and says yes to Lucifer, letting him in. Does that help at all?

I see. Thanks, it's a great idea. Really. Will you write a sequel? i like stories where all 4 archangel were united agaist god and heaver. The angels will be so shock.
