    Summary

    The first thing he lost was the sense of where his body ended and the machine began.

    The wires weren’t just restraints, they burrowed and coiled. Rooted themselves through his clothing and skin and dug deeper, like living things eager to taste celestial marrow. Each time one pierced a new layer as his body attempted to heal around them, a wet, sickening pop echoed inside the chamber. His golden blood leaked down the cords in narrow, shimmering streams, dripping onto scorched metal. It must’ve looked beautiful.

    It didn’t feel beautiful.

     

    Or, what Lucifer experienced in the season 2 finale as he was trapped in Vox's weapon

    Summary

    Lucifer remembers falling.

    It seems like a pretty obvious statement, falling is what Lucifer is known for. Right after giving Eve the apple and bringing evil into the world. For him to be able to forget would be too merciful of Heaven for what he’s done.

    It's part of his punishment. To never forget. To seemingly never be able to move on, because he's constantly trapped with reminders of his mistakes. And every attempt he does to fix things screws things up further so eventually he stopped trying.

    Except that caused him to lose some of the only things left that mattered to him.

    So, he started to try again.

    And of course, he ended up right back where he started.

    (Or: 10,000 years ago Lucifer was cast down from his first home, his only reprieve being companionship with Lilith. Present day, Lilith is gone, Lucifer may have helped start a war, and the daughter who he'd just made super upset and who had cast him out of her hotel calls him. Lucifer answers, because Lucifer never seemed to have learned his lesson that every time he tries to fix things, he makes them worse. Much worse.)

    Summary

    Blitz spills over the sides of his cup when he pours the coffee pot. A little puddle forms on the counter but Blitz can't find the energy to clean it up, instead scooping ice out of the office's freezer and letting the cold bite his fingers. Cold is good. It shocks some of the numbness out of him, lets him tune into what the others are talking about. They have a hit on a more important target than usual, one with a security detail. Blitz curses himself for not checking the schedule for today himself. He's known today was coming. He always knows.

    Blitz walks into the conference room, sipping his coffee, and stares dully at the whiteboard. He's supposed to come up with a plan, a strategy. Moxxie and Loona are arguing about whether it's better to be sneaky or to be fast, and then he hears his name, and the conversation tapers out. He blinks the room back into focus. Everyone is looking at him.

    He clears his throat. "What?"

    ---

    Blitz is having a no-good, very bad day.

    Summary

    “So. To summarize. I’m stranded on Mars, entirely alone. I have absolutely no way to communicate with my crew or with earth, since our communications antennae turned me into a human shish-kabob. If the oxygenator becomes compromised, I’ll suffocate. If the water reclaimer stops working, I’ll dehydrate. Breach in the Hab means I’ll go poof. And if, for some god-forsaken reason none of those things kill me first, I’m gonna run out of food and starve to death. Oh, and we can’t forget that everyone I know thinks I’m dead. So… yup. Totally fucked.”

    *

    On Sol 6, an unexpected windstorm cuts the Ares III Mission short and six astronauts retreat back to Earth.

    On Sol 7, the astronaut they left behind wakes up gasping for air.

    Summary

    He keeps calling her that. Charlie tries to correct him, makes gently leading comments, says Vaggie's name more often than necessary in a conversation.
    But it never seems to stick. He always calls her Maggie.
    It makes her heart hurt.

    Or, a deep dive into a misspoken name (alongside the stories of days spent in a rebuilt hotel)
