Archangel Raphael's notes on demonic coping mechanisms in response to trauma

Summary:

Raphael suddenly finds himself with a very unexpected group of patients and writes about them in his journal.

Chapter 1: Asmodeus

Chapter Text

(I was hesitant to accept Asmodeus as patient due to both of our loaded emotional baggage, but xe convinced me, so I'll try my best to treat xyr like any other patient).

 

Flies into a frenzy, when triggered, sometimes has to be calmed down magically. Xe hates, when I do this, but there seems to be no other way to calm xyr down, that doesn't involve physical restraints.

Mostly sound of mind, but has phases of mental instability.

During those phases, extreme emotional outbursts take turns with periods of depersonalisation, where xe stares into the distance unresponsively for an extended amount of time.

Once xe regains lucidity, xe's subdued and - I almost hesitate to write this - cuddly for about a day.

Prone to fits of unbridled rage and violence. Keep away or remove any possible triggers, for public safety.

Bloodthirsty and sadistic. Must be stopped from harming or killing others at all cost.

Workaholic. Prefers the term "workafrolic" (i.e. someone, who works hard and passionately for their job and has fun doing so), but "workaholic" seems more accurate. An absolute nuisance, when bored, but mere boredom usually leads to mischief, rather than actual harm.

Suffers from monophobia, feels intense fear when alone, especially in dark and quiet places.

Also suffered from aquaphobia until recently, still feels anxious around large and deep bodies of water.

Fear causes xyr to seek out loved ones or friends for comfort and reassurance.

Isn't fond of PDA or "sentimentality" in general, but will privately ask for non-sexual physical intimacy, when sad or distraught.

Extremely wary (I'm hesitant to call it paranoia), but openly talks about trauma with people xe trusts.

According to xyr wife and older siblings, xe's been more even-tempered than usual in the last months, but it would be dangerous to get my hopes up.
