Description:

Yukio Okumura both hates and loves his brother. An AU where he doesn't catch himself when hate wins out. The devil on your shoulder doesn't tell you to be evil after all, he says the ends justify the means.

Growing from that starting point into an ongoing series where all myths, all religions are true. Demons can't break their word (but beware making assumptions about what their promises mean). Rin wants to defeat Satan and Mephisto wants to help him (for his own reasons, which he doesn't feel like telling you naturally). Sheimi is too lovable for her own good (being worshiped is embarrassing for a shy girl). Bon and Konekomaru want what's best for the Myo'o Dhari (and that might not be the True Cross). Shima is looking for a cause to believe in (and won't be defined by his family). Izumo has conflicts of interest (and falling for Rin doesn't change that). Angel isn't such a bad guy (once you get past his lack of interpersonal skills and lawful stupid ways). And Satan? He just wants a world where he and Yuri and live happily ever after (even if he has to smash the current world to get it... Why not? It's not like it hasn't happened before).

Notes:

I love mythology and "Ao no Exorcist" is a great fandom for indulging that. When I get stuck on this story I start searching out mythologies to read or re-read and I've got new plot-bunnies. I'm leaning most heavily on Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Native American myths and some of the wilder interpretations of the Bible, particularly the book of Genesis. With some sci-fi influences thrown in.

My intention is a fanfic series that deals with all eight Hell Kings leading up to a final battle with Satan.
