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

Awwwww, thank you!!! I love it!

Awesome story, I was happy to help (even though you barely needed it)!

Happy birthday to my favorite Australian lady, and many happy returns!

Great prequel, V!

And Feli: Happy Birthday!!!

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

Awesome! Happy birthday Feli!

Have a devilish Super Bday, Feli with this awesome fic

Thank you so much everyone! <3

Happy birthday Feli! You do a nice job mixing these worlds.

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?

Knowing Lex, I'm comfortable betting on 100%

In reference to the pocket universe created for Lucifer and L&C, DC wrote:


Tails? Are the authors really geckos masquerading as humans? (jk! I know DC really meant "tales.")

shhhh! *scratches her darned itchy human suit*

Egads! I've blown their cover now!

Hi Valerie!

Maybe he needs to change his tailor? And possibly repurpose his tailor? I hear skinsuits are all envogue in the North these days.

Maybe they suspect some foul play to have played a role?



I *was* wondering what you where up to with John Decker.

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…

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.

Happy Birthday Feli. So glad you enjoyed your gift.

Aww, E, you're sweet but you were an immense help.

Thanks for helping me surprise Feli!

Thanks Queenie!

So glad you liked it!

Thanks JellyS2!

I figured it wouldn't be a huge stretch to have Lucifer be the reason Lex Luthor got as far as he did at such a young age. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks jackiek!

Thanks LadyT!

Thanks so much scifiJoan!

Glad you enjoyed it.

Hey Terry!

So glad you enjoyed this walk on the evil and devilishly dark side. I did my best to keep Lucifer on point and in character here with how Endelda and NostalgiaKick had written him in City of Fallen Angels and The Nature of Favors. Had to do the series justice if I was going to tag a fic on it and all that. I'm so glad it came across.

I had to come up with a situation where Lex would be desperate enough to make a deal he shouldn't have. Given how educated and resourceful he was I figured the only time this would prove opportune would be when he did the unthinkable when claiming control of Lex...erm, I mean, LuthorCorp.

I think Lex really thought he could weasel out of this deal he made with the devil but as we all know from the previous fics, there's no backing out of a deal with the devil.

Hey Vicki!

So glad you took the time to read this one. I know it's not your usual type of fic what with Clark not being tortured at all, but you know I had to give him a break sometime. Especially considering how badly you raked him over the coals in your last fic.

In all seriousness, thanks for reading. Glad you liked it.

Checks behind her for tail

Tail?

Well, he is Lex Luthor. Conceited, arrogant, and self-assured are just a few words to describe him.

Honorable is not one of those though.

Shh! E, you're not supposed to say anything.

Hey Michael

:rotfl: Well, this is a very inexperienced Lex here just stretching his theoretical muscles fresh after the deaths of his parents.


Getting warmer...


That's right, Alexander not Lex yet.


Ah, you caught me. I had to connect the two worlds. What better way than insert Chloe Decker's dad in for fun?


Well, I'm sure he has ways of collecting on that deal.


I didn't read the owner's manual. Thanks for that though.
