This was actually my fault. But I had help.

1. When or if I started shipping them:
Late last year, I was looking through comment_fic for the first time in months and found this prompt for Lucifer/Jimmy. As you know, my mind is easily boggled, I was so fascinated I had to try it. AND IT WAS AWESOME, also leading to this conversation with pogozebra who cracked me up with the idea of a one-man threesome. The rest is history.

2. What I think their challenge is:
The real estate is definitely a significant issue: two angels (one being an archangel, no less) sharing one vessel cannot be easy and was one of the ideas I was exploring with the third part that's in progress. The second issue is how well, how long and at what cost Castiel and Jimmy could survive with Lucifer at the helm. In my headspace, Jimmy's having serious second thoughts and Castiel's loyalty is to Jimmy first. Lucifer's obsessed with keeping Jimmy, but his Big Plans come first.

3. What makes me happy about them:
The hotness -- I never pretended to be philosophical about this. XD But I also love the push and pull of the angels on Jimmy with Lucifer in one ear telling him, "You know you want to be with me" and Castiel in the other, saying, "I'm with you, BUT THIS IS A BAD IDEA". I don't like making people choose, so I let Jimmy have them both. Plus, Jimmy is surprising fun to write.

4. What makes me sad about them:
I think that by the end of their journey Castiel and Jimmy would be unrecognisable if they stayed. We could be sad about it, or we could look on the bright side: dark is sexy.

5. What moment I wish had never happened:
I sort of wish Raphael hadn't blown Castiel up, because then we'd have firmer ground to stand on with the proposal Jimmy was still around to be corrupted by the angels (in my head, he went to Heaven after the S4 finale).

6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:
Lucifer could have Castiel, Sam, or any of his brothers: if he's with a vessel, it's a journey of change with the vessel as the mentor of humanity and morals, but if he's with one of his brothers it's about learning forgiveness and change together. Jimmy could have Castiel or Dean and vice versa because I like the idea that Castiel and Jimmy have conversations that would let them, to some extent, be mutually involved in any of their relationships.

7. My happily ever after for them:
... I'll let you know when I get there, but I have a feeling 'happily ever after' will be a very subjective term of phrase. XD

I personally love the two angels = one vessel aspect of it. :D It's fascinating and nifty to see all at once.

I'm glad it worked for people! There are obvious mechanics I now have to deal w/ in the follow-up that weren't in the previous piece, so we'll see how well that turns out. XD
