Walking On Eggshells

[alleyalligator]

You know that feeling in the pit of your stomach, that heavy, leaden weight that sits there, tearing up your insides, when you know that you’ve done something wrong and there’s nothing you can do to make it right?

Yeah.  That feeling was my best buddy, my constant companion ever since I’d agreed to deliver a certain package and then got so drunk

Ohhhh boy. Wonder what the future holds for him. This is strangely happy for you. :)

I figured it was well overdue for me to do happy - I could have done something all dark and gruesome, but I've done a fair few of those recently, so it was time to change tone.

Cool combination of Demon and Mafia tropes with interesting characters. Well done.

[alleyalligator]

Thanks! I figured this would at least be a little happier than some of my recent entries :D

Twistable turnable fun!

Thanks!

Don't mess with the demon mafia!!

[alleyalligator]

Not unless you want a demon horse's head in your bed!

I descended from a line of fallen angels and you try camouflaging great big fuck off wings under a trench coat.
This half sounds like SPN's Castiel, but then the "fallen" part sounds like something else. Someone already much closer to demons than a regular angel.

Demon mafia-- they really were, and I love how you represented them!

[alleyalligator]

I'm not familiar with Castiel - something I should check out?

They could have been straightforward mafia, but a couple of people suggested child eating egg hatching creatures, which clearly had to be demonic in nature, just to give it that extra kick :D

Castiel is the "angel in a trenchcoat" on the TV show, Supernatural. The trenchcoat is relentless, so it leaves an impression!

[alleyalligator]

I only watched the first couple of episodes of that show. I can't remember whether it clashed with something else I preferred or if it was just on that bit too late for me, but I had no idea there was an angel in a trenchcoat! Sounds cool :D
