Find the prince and make him smile
He we bleed for a while
Pack it with ash and make him laugh
The king is dead the king is dead
the prince’s grin brings joy unsaid.
How I felt after the interview in my last post
Only being able to write the first and last chapters of Nightmare : (An) American Fairytale.
Thinking Lux would be a one chapter shortie
Cause it turned into a multi-chapter story
How I hope you feel as we dive into this
Just so no one is disappointed this is NOT a part of LL or SA. I know I did a bait and switch with HOF, but I'm not doing it here.
I've hinted about Lux a bit, but there is also some Speculative Fiction-ish Feminism going on in here as well. I didn't really write this to music but I

Chapter One
Lile’s back ! Wow, what an interesting concept. Century old Angels and Demons living in the modern world…will there be any humans involved ?
ReplyDeleteI think there will be a human, only because of the line LiLe posted last time about a character saying I feel like I know you.
DeleteHeck, yeah ! On the speculation thread I totally called it being somewhat biblically related. Also Omg, that 1D dancing GIF gives me life.
ReplyDeleteActually, you said "Angels in New York" so you got it right on the head !
DeleteYes, you did.
DeleteI feel like I definitely need the second part of this chapter. I have so many questions !
ReplyDeleteI'm already kind of liking Brother Ashe...but, being eyeball-less I can't imagine ! We know these characters are a bit older than your other characters. How old do you imagine the Demon Children looking nowadays ?
ReplyDeleteAround 28, so a little bit older.
DeleteJust this first chapter is so richly detailed. Can you tell us where you got the inspiration from ? Or is that going into spoilers ?
ReplyDeleteUm, a little bit later.
DeleteAw, I feel bad for the Demon Prince, yet I'm such a film-nerd that whenever anyone talks about cutting smiles into anyones face I always go immediatley to The Joker...
ReplyDeleteDo you wanna know how I got these scars ?
DeleteI think replying "An Angel Did It" would actually be kind of kickass
DeleteI'm getting meta WAY to soon, but he didn't originally have the scars in the first draft.
Delete
ReplyDeleteI had to read it twice to take it all in. I’m assuming we will get to know the characters names soon ?
I did a twice read too, at first it was kind of dense, but now I think it’s kind of tragically beautiful.
DeleteYes, this one is dense. I had to get it all out there to set the scene. The other chapters not so much. I'll talk more about names in my next A/N !
DeleteWelcome back, Lile ! Can we guess the Snowfire apples are symbolism ?
ReplyDeleteHmm, I debating between being mysterious!lile and being straighfoward. I'm going to say I don't dabble TO much into symbolism.
DeleteSo much cool stuff in here like the Walking Ritual, Angels and Demons that seem to live forever. The only thing that kind of shocked me was the cannibalism...that was rough.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the cannibalism shocked me, but I kind of like the taboo-ness of it. Then again, I watch Hannibal like it is going out of style because I love it so much.
DeleteWell, I mean if they are Angels and they are Demons then I guess it’s not cannibalism ?
DeleteWas the title drop added after you picked the title, since you said in the last post you couldn't find a name for it ?
ReplyDeleteYes, it was. I had been toying with it but decided to go with it.
Delete
ReplyDeleteThis story is clear to have some really interesting gender politics, is this going to be all from the demon point of view ?
Yes
Delete"Is the disabled (and how)" comment you made in the last post a reference to Brother Ashe ?
ReplyDeleteYes, it is. We can just call him Ashe.
DeleteWhat ! A serial with no music ? Well, if you need playlist suggestions, I think Coldplays VivaLaVida may be appropriate.
ReplyDeleteDone and done
DeleteI mean, maybe because of the first person POV we don't get this, but to me it seemsthe Demon Prince is calling the Angels savages and stuff for doing some of the same things they have done.
ReplyDelete*gold star*
DeleteThis story is much heavier right off the bat, I'm curious to see what happens in part two !
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing NAF ! Do you think you will post at the same time or you will wait until LuxA is done ?
ReplyDeleteWell, the thing is I wrote the last 2 chapters of NAF and the first 3 chapters so I need all the stuff that goes in the middle. So it's not technically done.
DeleteOkay, I have to know how you got the name Humegu Ljgnd. Is it like Scandinavian or something ?
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'll let you in on a secret. I just banged my hand on the keyboard and that's what popped up. His name isn't important to so I made one up.
DeleteI'm thinking the Angel who wounded Ashe will come back up at some point. Potential love interest ?
ReplyDeleteIDK, I don't think there will be much in the way of romance. I mean the story seems to be built more on some kind of secret, supernatual war.
DeleteWell, she hanged herself so . . . yeah
DeleteReally ? It was the one thing I kept picking up on during my little re-read. I think we just have the same music-muse (ie teenage daughters who like SYTYCD).
ReplyDeleteOops I just realized I didn't edit the playlist portion before posting it. I spelled that man's name so wrong.
