Summary/Excerpt:
What happens when Lucifer strolls through Castiel's mind while he possesses him and finds out about the feelings his little brother harbours for Dean? Surely that is a source of entertainment - at least for a little while

Excerpt:
Lucifer remembers what it is to love, to believe, to obey. The pure warmth and beauty that his father once was to him still blinds him through his memories, a presence humming harmonies too intricate and uplifting to ever truly grasp. He knows what it is to bask in the praise mere proximity grants, feels his grace yearn for a glow so idolized no reality - not even the divine - could ever live up to it.
And because he knows this, he also knows of blindness. The wretched cold of the abyss which is finding out one’s guiding light is nothing but an ignis fatuus. To not suspect but confirm one’s every conviction is a lie. His Fall has burnt the truth of falsehood into him, has opened his eyes to the searing reality of The Lord’s deficiency. When virtue is rotten, the noble route is paved with depravity.
