Aw, man.. I remember making drafts a couple years ago for this one I sorta gave up on. To be blunt about it, it's a Victorian-era romantic drama where Satan is in love with an angel and is desperately trying to get God's blessing to be with her.
Full spoilers and geeking out about it
The thing about it was that although I loved the premise, it had a weekly gag comic vibe. I wanted to get as far away from that as I could lmao so, I had to write a lot of story outside of the romance itself.
A war breaks out in heaven between angels led by God and corrupted angels led by Lucifer (or Satan, I tend to just call him by his old name here). Lucifer falls from Heaven with his army, and they're scattered across the Earth. He then wanders the Earth for centuries and essentially learns to live alongside humans peacefully, and he eventually reunites with Belial, close friend and advisor for him, in late 1800's London..
All this until his angel crush, Lailah, comes down doing some business or whatever, the romance part picks up from there. Essentially, this was enemies to lovers and a forbidden romance in one.
After a good chunk of time, God takes Lailah back to heaven and does not allow her to return to Earth. As it turns out, that time together started slowly corrupting her and if nothing was done about it, she'd have eventually died. Lucifer flies up to heaven to brutally and forcefully take her back not knowing this, and he was stopped. In a backhanded act of mercy, God allowed their relationship, but Lailah would be forced to become human with Lucifer outliving her.
As an extra bit of a story, I wanted to do something that ties everything back to the beginning in a lowkey tragic fashion. The epilogue would've taken place just after Lailah's funeral. Lucifer and his son stuck around after everyone else left, but a strange disfigured man comes up approaches them. The man turns out to be Belial, and he makes small talk but then asks if Lucifer will ever take his rightful place at the throne in Hell. He rejects the title of Satan out of respect for his dead wife and Bel decides to take over right then and there. Lucifer condemns Bel for the decision and ends their friendship. They part ways.
And just like that, it's over.
His most trusted friend is the reason he saw himself equal to God, the reason he had the confidence to build up an army, the reason he incited a civil war in Heaven, the reason he lost the war and fell from grace, the reason he became a corrupt angel and could never hold on to this romance in the first place. Bel idolized a friend to the point of wanting to become him, just like Lucifer had done with God. He was strangely dangerous to be around despite the guy not having any malice in his heart until the very end.
I just- this unintentional villain approach is so interesting. In my mind, it's literally the best part of this entire plot. Lucifer and Lailah being main characters falling in love is good and all.. but Bel? Sheeeeesh. I've tried replicating the vibes in other comic ideas but it does not work as well in any other context lmao
Looking back on it.. the romance I wanted to focus on initially, kinda feels like it took a major back seat. Now the comic's a tragedy, I guess? I haven't read any tbh so I'm just assuming that's what it became. I quit on this because.. well, I wanted to focus on my other comic idea. That and for whatever reason.. I don't feel like it's a story that needs to be told, if that makes sense???
I think what I ended up putting together was a very solid outline and could be like a super dope 200-300 page graphic novel if someone else wrote it
