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".

Paradise Regained (Novel version)
An unofficial retelling of the John Milton poem of the same name. I highly recommend you read Paradise Lost before this, because this is a sequel story. I figured if I was to do Paradise Lost then I might as well do this story as well. This story is a Biblical Fanfiction (pretty much no other way to say this) retelling of the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness by Satan, because Jesus was fasting for 40 days. Once again, Wendigoon's video is being used as a basis as well as the poem itself and the actual Gospels in order to craft the novelized version of this story. Once again, this is not the beat-for-beat account of how the story actually went and more of an expansion of what came before, this time coming from the Gospels, specifically Matthew, Mark, and Luke. So if it makes you more interested in Biblical stories and history that's awesome, but realize that you should take some of these things with a grain of salt, but wisdom can be gathered from it either way. And once again, I'll probably be giving author's notes to further explain certain names and things that might not be well known to those who aren't as well-versed as others in Biblical canon and extra-Biblical lore. And once again, I am a Christian like Wendigoon is, and like him I believe there is reverence to be had with these names so I'm not taking any of it lightly. Anyway, I hope you enjoy and God bless.Concluida

"There's a blaze of light in every word, it doesn't matter which you heard: the holy or the broken, 'Hallelujah.'"- Leonard Cohen The poems in this series center on two characters: I, the speaker, and You, the speaker's subject. I is not a specific gender or orientation. I is meant to mold to the reader's idea of who they would be. We follow I in not only a love story, one where love blossoms and lingers until its destruction, but a tale of self-discovery, where, after a long and arduous quest for it, I finally finds happiness.

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 2018Concluida

Fallen
The First rebelled against his father's rule and is now an exile from paradise. He finds himself on a primitive world with no trace of sentience. Bereft and battling growing insanity, he explores his new environment, searching for some trace of mind that he can mould, perhaps to execute his revenge. What he finds surprises even him. 'Fallen' is a low fantasy short story retelling the oldest creation myths in human culture. From the Garden of Eden to the story of Prometheus and Pandora, the tale is the same: the celestial being who opens mankind's eyes to the truth of their mortal world and in doing so damns them for eternity. Mythology and anthropology meet in an intimate story with epic consequences. Cover art by John Blake, used with permission: http://www.johnblakeillustration.com/Concluida
The Firstfall
Book 1: A Tale of Adam and Eve In a time where the divine and the mortal walk hand in hand, Adam and Eve live in perfect harmony with the Creator, their lives sustained by the sacred Breath of Life. The Garden of Eden is a place of unimaginable beauty, where everything thrives under the Creator's watchful eye-except for one forbidden secret: the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Eve is content, but curiosity gnaws at her soul. Why has the Creator placed the Tree before them, only to forbid its fruit? As whispers from the shadowy serpent begin to echo in her mind, Eve is drawn into a dangerous temptation. What would it mean to know as the Creator knows, to understand the balance between light and darkness, life and death? When the boundary between trust and doubt is crossed, Adam and Eve's choice will unravel the spiritual harmony that has protected their very souls. In this gripping reimagining of the first human story, The Firstfall explores the universal themes of faith, free will, and the search for truth. Through heart-wrenching decisions and the birth of sin, Adam and Eve must face the cost of knowledge-and the price of their freedom. Perfect for fans of epic fantasy and spiritual exploration, The Firstfall blends ancient truths with powerful storytelling to reveal the raw humanity behind our fall from grace.Concluida
