As a birthday present for NostalgiaKick, I decided to write a Prequel to The Nature of Favors. A Lucifer / Lois and Clark crossover. FDK appreciated as always and don't forget to wish Feli a happy birthday over and over and over again. Fic

Awesome story, I was happy to help (even though you barely needed it)! Happy birthday to my favorite Australian lady, and many happy returns!

Fantastic! I was wondering what that favor was. Happy Birthday, Feli!

Brr! This is truly a chilling story. Lucifer is at his deal-making best here, and Lex is so greedy and just a little desperate that he makes a deal with the Devil - quite literally. Either he didn't realize the extent of his surrender or he thinks he can weasel out of the deal before he has to pay up. This dovetails with The Nature of Favors very well, and it shows the character of both participants quite nicely. This will have to stand in for a frightened and shivering emoji. I hope I'm never tempted to that extent.

Finally getting a chance to come up for air from fic writing and I loved it! Feli, E, and now you have nicely managed to create a prefect little crossover universe. And even though I'm not a member of the Lucifer fandom, I've enjoyed watching you three weave your tails together. Nicely done!
I wonder how much of Lex is arrogant enough to think he's going to pull one over on the Devil, of all people?

In reference to the pocket universe created for Lucifer and L&C, DC wrote: ...I've enjoyed watching you three weave your tails together. Tails? Are the authors really geckos masquerading as humans? (jk! I know DC really meant "tales.")

Hi Valerie! The suit would have to be taken in. Try as he might with the tailor he couldn’t seem to get it right. Being the ripe young age of fourteen didn’t help matters, but surely a simple adjustment to his father’s suits wasn’t too much to ask for. Maybe he needs to change his tailor? And possibly repurpose his tailor? I hear skinsuits are all envogue in the North these days. The accident had been investigated to death. Why couldn’t they just close the case? Maybe they suspect some foul play to have played a role? “Temper, temper, Alexander.” Lucifer scolded, “A quick transfer out of town to rustle up some feathers should do the trick. Which one do you want, sent packing, hmm?” I *was* wondering what you where up to with John Decker. Lucifer leaned in and whispered, “Don’t cross me, Lex. A deal with the devil isn’t something you want to break.” Hmm…Luci never did get to collect his favor. Unless he worked to do Clark a solid by having Lex court Lois so she would realize it is Clark she wants… shhhh! *scratches her darned itchy human suit* I did not read the comments before writing above remarks about the skin suit! Also, human suits need to be cleaned regularly to keep them from becoming itchy. It's written right there on the little owner's leaflet tacked to the left zipper. Michael
