I really liked Feli and Endelda's Lucifer crossover and have decided it ought to be canon.  Awww, thank you! What an awesome seal of approval! His newest employee—an odd little mystic named Asabi who had come highly recommended by certain persons—began to pour them both some champagne. Ohh, a henchman's debut! How exciting! Of course, it would be all too easy to rearrange the details of the bargain once he was already on the hook. He was a complete pushover, Lex knew, even if the man himself didn't, and would make a wonderful puppet-king for Lex's new empire. But for now, let the poor sap dream of money and power and a life without care. Lex, you're such a snake By the time dessert was served, the man was ready to sell his soul to the new LexCorp. Careful there Lex, you wouldn't want to step on any Infernal toes! I loved it, origins are always fun and I enjoy it when side characters get some time in the spotlight to be fleshed out (even the bad guys) Well done!

 This is absolutely awesome and deliciously entertaining at the same time. I love what you have done tying these two worlds together. Great last line!

Thanks, guys!  I was hoping to make a bit of a guessing game out of the song choice, but I guess it was either too obvious or too obscure. Suffice to say, Lex has friends on the other side. *g* This was a fun challenge, and I hope it gets more takers.

Love it!!
Also, I know I’ve said it in private, but I’m incredibly flattered that the universe E and I created made such an impact

This was so perfect!! That's one of my favorite villain's songs ever, so I caught it lol, but I love that you left that iconic line for the very end. (In my head the drums started playing immediately and had to go take a listen.)
Perfectly aligned with Lex. I love to that his interactions with Lucifer put him in this bargain making habit. So glad I caught this!

Ooh awesome little tale! Nicely done and I totally forgot about that song until now (but it's far from my favorite movie). I enjoyed how you wove it all together.

Hi Mary! Lex narrowed his eyes at the weaselly little man cluttering up the main doorway of the newly-remodeled dining hall, smiling internally as the disgusted expression on his face faded into one of fear. So, we have H.G. Wells in the role of The Jinn, being a good friend to Lexfer? that fateful meeting with the strange Mr. Morningstar had put the finishing touches on his rather expedited inheritance of the Luthor estate. Huh. “But more importantly...I can *change* your future.”
The man stilled, looking up at Lex with a deliciously hopeful expression. “Y-you can?” Mr. Morningstar put golden bands only Lex’s wrists? Okay, I’ll admit, I’m a tad confused. Is this implying that the Lex from the show was the stooge and the real Lex was the one we’ve seen now as the POV character, a person who’s been transformed into a Jinn by Lucifer?  Michael

Oh my gosh! I just realized the title is You've Got A Fiend In Me. My brain totally inserted the 'r' without me even noticing. What a great play on words!

*squints* There's no 'r' in there, is there. Huh, I guess the TV-sites pushing Aladdin reviews kinda sorta muddied the waters there. Michael
