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".

Stick It To The Man 🤘 (Adam x fem! reader)
If you like Hazbin, and you like Adam, then you have came to the right place. Imagine you were there for the events of Eden. Witnessed it all. And yet since you had taken no part in the fruit, or wanting to stay their afterwards, you were awarded with a certain power. To have both an angel, and a demon form.... All events for Eden were altered for the sake of the story. And is more mythologically accurate. Where Adam and Eve were first, Lilith was second woman, and Lucifer crashed the party.
Eternal (Percico/Pernico)
In a world of angels and demons, one lives to eradicate the other. The Archangel of Water, Perseus Jackson, tires of the immaculate Paradise that is Heaven, desiring imperfection, but scorns demons. The son of the Devil, Nico di Angelo, an Incubus who tempts mortals into homosexuality, is given the task of harvesting the soul of an Archangel to complete the weapon created by his father for the purpose of the annihilation of the Heavens. What would happen if their worlds collided? - - - - - Rated Mature for language and sexual content (including intercourse, masturbation, and erotic crossdressing). 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. This is not an accurate depiction of Catholicism and/or Christianity, as it is a fictional universe that I made up. If this much alteration to your religion is offensive or upsetting in any way, DO NOT READ. Cover art by me! Base courtesy of blackjinx123 on DeviantArt. © VastDelusion 2018Complete
