Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton (1608-1674). The first version, published in 1667, consisted of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse. A second edition followed in 1674, arranged into twelve books (in the manner of Virgil's Aeneid) with minor revisions throughout and a note on the verification.
It is considered by critics to be Milton's major work, and it helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of his time.
The poem concerns the biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Milton's purpose, stated in Book I, is to "justify the ways of God to men".

I do not include NSFW warnings within the chapters, as I believe it subtracts from the quality of the writing. Read with caution. If you are uncomfortable with reading about masturbation or sex, specifically if it involves two males, DO NOT READ.

Paradise Lost (Novel Adaptation)
An unofficial retelling of the poem based on Biblical creation by John Milton. I got this idea from watching Wendigoon's video on the poem. First of all I think this would be a great script for a movie, but also I want to see if I could tackle it from a book perspective. Also, read the poem if you want to get the full experience. I'm just writing this without the old English vocabulary and delivering it in the best way I can possible without having unnecessary exposition (which works for poetry and not for a book) and compressing the story in that it cuts the fat and gets to the point. I'm also giving some notes on certain names and what they relate to and where Milton gathered these concepts and ideas from. To state it plainly, like Wendigoon, I am a Christian, so I'm not writing this thing lightly because there is reverence to these names that I'm putting on paper, digital paper that is. This is not the beat-for-beat account of the actual creation story, and it should not be taken as such. It's merely an expansion on certain ideas and characters that is a "could be" or a "what if" situation. If you are a Christian reading this, take it with a grain of salt. If you aren't a Christian, maybe this opens up a new thought for you and you become more interested in Christianity (no I'm not forcing anything down anybody's throats). Either way, this is to be seen just as Wendigoon describes: Biblical Fanfiction. So, with that being said, I hope you enjoy this. It's been a while since I've written anything on this app, so I'm going to try and keep up with this consistently. With that being said, let's get started. Thanks, and God bless.Complete

𝓥𝓮𝓲𝓵𝓼 𝓸𝓯 𝓜𝓮𝓶𝓸𝓻𝔂║Lucifer x Reader
Once residing in a perfect paradise, Lucifer envisioned a world tethered to the fabric of his imagination. This dream, however, was not his alone; it was shared with a fellow seraphim named y/n. Together, the outcasts viewed creation through uniquely intertwined eyes, their bond growing ever deeper with the steady rhythm of time. But when divine retribution condemned Lucifer's fall, the two souls were torn apart. Millennia later, with her memories of their friendship erased, y/n knows him only as the devil. Through her entanglement with hell and the revelation of her forgotten past, she risks not only taking the fall from heaven but falling for a forbidden heart she once knew.

Y/n was a renowned angel in heaven. She was respected by all and was even well acquainted with the Seraphims, Sera and Emily. As a high power, her job was to take part in the Angelic trials, where she'd unravel many webs full of lies and deceit, then return home to Adam, her beloved. But Y/n had been caught up in her own web, visiting Lucifer in hell. She hadn't meant for the truth to be discovered, not like she had done any wrong. But she was tainted, and so she was banished from the heavenly realm, wrapped tightly in a silk of guilt and lies, and betrayal from the one she loved most. Centuries passed, and now she roams hell, helping Charlie Morningstar on her path to redeeming sinners. Unbeknownst to her, she's back on a certain path, face to face with her past, one that includes Adam.Complete
