“And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.” Rev 20: 1-2
I used to be a good Catholic girl.
That was a long time ago. 
Since then, I’ve sinned and not repented. Thankfully, bad girls go everywhere…
I always had a fascination with angels. Not so much because I prayed to them for protection, but more because I wanted to know who the heck they were!
Call me curious…
I mean, forgive me for my candor, but we’re not just talking emanations of God here, we’re talking an army fighting in heaven, casting Satan into a pit, falling from high out of pride or love, striding about and announcing doomsday events, and even fighting among each other where mere mortals can see them on staircases leading to heaven… (Jacob’s vision)
Who were those guys? Are they still around, still fighting, still obeying God’s every command, struggling to keep Satan in the Pit and occasionally failing Him, too human, too weak in the face of attraction and love to remain up high? Do they still Fall?
Well, do they?
And all the demons obeying Beelzebul, Satan himself, weren’t they angels once? If their essence was so noble and pure, can they be really evil? Is there no redemption? Isn’t love the answer?
In both canonical and apocryphal texts, we see many different perspectives on the legends on the fall and the nature of angels, showing us creatures who are far from perfect, albeit beautiful and wise. Angels speak the will of God, bring devastation or joy, like good little soldiers.
That gave me interesting ideas. Soldiers. A military regime. Monastic and strict lifestyle. Any physical desire is a sin to be punished and regretted. Angst. Rebellion.
Sex.
I do love it when they give in. I’m a cruel author.
Hence I set out to write a number of stories recording my own personal vision of angels Falling. And they Fall in such fascinating ways.
Because I thought, you know, angels, in the writings, never fell for other angels. They crave what is truly forbidden, and different. According to the scriptures, they fell for mortal women.
But demons are far more interesting as love interests. Fallen angels themselves, they are they ones who have already given into desire and need. They are tragically doomed by their choices, serving Hell and suffering the consequences, yet unrepentant and beautiful. They are the epitome of bad, sexy boys in leather. Who wouldn’t love them?
You do see where I’m going with this…
I threw together angels – handsome, repressed and aching with unfulfilled desire – with demons – sexy, bad-ass, cool guys – and waited for the fireworks.
They were beautiful together. I had fun and so I secured for myself a little piece of “heaven”.
