Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: The Nature of Favours (2019 Kerth Challenge #3) by Nostalgiakick and Endelda (1/1)

Howdy! Thanks for reading our challenge fic!

Squeeeeel! A sequel! Be back to fdk properly.

Beautiful! Nice how it enhances the episode without actually interfering with the course of events, much. Although I did wonder how on Earth Lex thought that dying would be a good way to *avoid* meeting the devil again; either he was that freaked out or he really wasn't paying much attention in Sunday school.

Thank you! As far as his plan for avoiding the Devil, I think it was a little from column A and a little from column B lol.

He never struck me as the type of guy who paid close attention in catechism class

Thanks for reading, Val!

I enjoyed the City of (Fallen) Angels very much and this one is just a good. Lucifer Morningstar as a friend of Clark's is such and unusual pairing and you have been able to blend the essence of both series so nicely. I loved Lucifer standing on the street observing Lex's swan dive and thinking to himself "Why isn't Clark saving him?" and then dismissing it due to Lex's ultimate destination not changing regardless. Beautiful.

Mike

Nice to see a continuation of this cross over. You've captured Lucifer nicely and he fits in so well in this universe.

Late to the party a little here but hi!

Val- thanks for reading! I love that you're that excited for a sequel

Queenie- well, when you'd just seen the Devil, I'm not sure you'd be thinking all that clearly LOL

Mike- thank you so much! We do work really hard to try and balance the two in these stories and I'm glad you think we've succeeded

Joan- he really does fit in surprisingly well. And we had so much fun writing COFA that I couldn't resist another one.

Ooh, a sequel!

Love it, ladies. Again, I don't watch Lucifer, but you've made the character extremely accessible, so, kudos to you.

Anyway, I love that he goes in there and basically toys with Lex. I mean, he knows *exactly* what he's doing. He doesn't make outward threats - "time to be dragged to hell, Lexie my boy!" - but he's still intense enough to drive Lex to the point where he's panicked enough to choose death rather than live with his new knowledge.

And let me just add...I *love* how Lucifer is actually compassionate enough to realize that there's something wrong with Clark's powers and to acknowledge with some guilt that Clark is going to blame himself for not being able to save Lex, even though he is completely blameless in the matter.

Well done, my friends! Feel free to write more. Maybe Lucifer visits the still-recovering Clark? Yes?

Also, I'm still very tickled by the idea of Superman and the Devil being friends. Actually, it made me think of one of my older fics, Forgiveness, where Clark seeks out absolution for his relief that Lex is dead. Imagine the conversation he would have with a priest admitting that he's on cool terms with the Devil himself! Hahaha!

even readable for people who didn't watch city of (fallen) angels good story girls. Congrats

I just found this addition on AO3 and commented there -- how did I miss that you'd added another chapter? -- but just had to check here, too, to see if others had enjoyed it just as much as I did. Hee.

This was fun to read. I definitely wanted to see Lucifer confront Lex in the main story, so this was satisfying. I admit I'd also love to see Lex's hell loop ... watching Lois spurn him for Clark, over and over and over, perhaps? Clark and Lucifer being friends would probably be nearly as much of a shock to Lex, so that would be a nice addition, too, heh. Thanks for adding to the story, and for giving me a good excuse to reread the original.

Now I'm picturing Lois contacting Chloe post-revelation, since they will have that in common, too. If the timeline stays the same, by the time Lois & Clark get together, Lucifer & Chloe will have a solid year together under their belts, so Chloe would probably give some pretty good advice. Both on the "the man I love has another side to him" front and "Yeah, I was briefly engaged to a criminal mastermind, too ... it really sucks, doesn't it?"

And darn it, now you've got me wondering what Lucifer would make of Tempus. He'd probably get a kick out of him at first, since they share that dry, irreverent sense of humor, but once he started hurting people, especially going after his new buddy Clark ... Lucifer no like.

Hi Endelda and Feli!

So, we’re in for a devilish good time, then, I guess.

Yes, nobody certainly has granted any favors in that regard.

Well, they could set up drilling equipment…

Granted a favor to Lex, did he?
LUCIFER: Hey, free will and all that.

*adorable shrug*

Something that’s been on my mind since Luci started to show his devil face more clearly. He does look a lot like Harvey Twoface’s criminal side from the Nolan Batmans. So, how would this Bruce Wayne react to the devil face?

You’re setting his fall up quite nicely. Each devilish interaction is a building block in Lex tumbling from the balcony. First the doors open. Now, he is at the railing.

So, then how did he get back out for The Phoenix?

Huh, so Lex did feel guilty after all. Smart move, otherwise, he’d have gone to the Other Place.

Nice little Lucibit

Michael

Hi Michael!

See, now I’m picturing them using one of those tunnel borers like the ones they used to build the Chunnel

You’re right, he is looking a lot like Two-Face. Lucifer meeting the Justice League...

Haha we haven’t gotten that far yet!

As for the feeling guilty thing.... E and I have a theory that if you do enough evil deeds on Earth, you go to Hell regardless of whether you feel guilty or not. Otherwise there’d be quite a few murderous sociopaths running around the Silver City

I’m stealing ‘Lucibit’ as a description for any other short Lucifer stories I write now too, btw

Thanks Michael! Glad you enjoyed our random sequel
