the star of mourning - gen, PG

[tigriswolf]

It's more gen than Lucifer/Nick, hope that's alright. Also, please excuse the title's pun.


---

Nick is a nice enough fellow. He pays his taxes, loves his wife, adores his daughter, and obeys traffic laws. He has no idea of all the horrible things in store for him.

He can be excused for that, though, since honestly, no one does.

Nick used to be a nice enough fellow. Now he's bitter and angry and just wants to die, so that he can be with his family again. He would kill himself, except his wife spent hours sobbing in his arms after her father took his own life.

Nick is not Lucifer's first choice, or second, or third. He's not even on the third-string of options. No one important knows his name.

And in all the world, with billions of people to study, Lucifer settles on him for just that reason.

Sam Winchester is the one he really wants. But everyone knows about Sam. Nick is out of left field. Nobody will see Lucifer in Nick.

o0o

Nicholas, Lucifer whispers, wrapping his wings around the man’s fragile soul. Sleep, my dear. You are with your wife and daughter, and the sun is warm, and everything is perfect.

Lucifer is not merciless. Nick is damned, but he need not suffer until Lucifer burns him out.

I really like this! I need to see more Nick fic, I really do.

You know, now that I think about it, I haven't seen much for him at all, really. Maybe it's because he's so totally overshadowed by Lucifer.

Thank you for reading!

That seems like a reasonable assumption, I think. I've been a Nick kick for awhile now, and it's so hard to fill that need when there's not a lot out there. I love reading Lucifer-centric fic, but for some reason, I've been on a total must-know-everything-about-Nick deal.

I had the same problem, so I just started a comm (spn_nick) for all things Nick. It's brand new, so there's only half a dozen posts or so, but you're welcome to join us. :)
