Work Text:
The story of the man who lost his soul for love of the Devil belongs to all the ages since there were men to believe in devils. For Lucifer, the difference between the present and the moment of binding is a matter of focus, a debt to be paid.
He cannot ignore anything that will serve Him; it is not in His nature.
And so to Christofer Marley, the crux of the matter, the alpha and omega--and Lucifer smiles at that, at the man who thinks himself a cobbler's son, homespun, safe.
He will shine like the Morningstar himself.
