Oh man, Damon is one of my SUPERFAVES. There is a bunch of old slash with him on this journal from my early TVD-watching days, lol. And I can definitely see why he reminds you of this Lucifer, with their character arcs (and even voices, to a degree; I think they're similarly snarky).
Because I'm so protective of Sam, I sometimes have trouble sympathizing with Lucifer, especially when Jared is doing FAR too good an acting job acting traumatized around him. But when I can put that aside, I'm completely with you. It seems pretty clear that the Mark really fucked with him, and then God just locked him away instead of trying to help him. (And then abandoned him AGAIN to go galaxy-hopping or whatever with Amara.) And I thought they had done so much to make him more sympathetic in S13 - there was that great stuff with Anael, and that devastating conversation he had with Gabriel where he actually ROLLED A TEAR. Between all that and how lovely Jack was, I was really hoping for a redemption arc, and was very disappointed by the outcome.
(Also because he's wildly entertaining and I never get tired of watching the utter glee with which Mark Pellegrino plays him. Seriously, on a show where one of the best things about it is how much fun the cast obviously has making it, Pellegrino still manages to stand out as someone who is having a fucking BALL playing his character.)
Thank you SO much for commenting! This is maybe my favorite fic I ever wrote, so I'm always delighted to find that someone else enjoyed it, too. <3
