    Summary

    Gabriel let out an ugly bark of laughter and abruptly looked away, his hand rubbing against the front of his helm.

    “Machine,” he said in wry, twisted amusement, “you are far more likely to grow a soul. When a day comes that an object such as yourself possesses such a thing, will be the day an angel can live without Father’s light.”

    V1 knew a challenge when it heard one. It also knew it excelled at winning them.

    or;

    In Gabriel's final hours, he and V1 make a bet.

    The Rehabilitation of Death by

    Fandoms: Cult of the Lamb (Video Game)

    Summary

    Something goes wrong. The crown is split during Narinder's defeat, splitting the power between him and the Lamb.

    Narinder keeps a portion of his godhood, and the Lamb finds that abilities they had access to before are no longer possible: Healing is cut short. Powers are halved. And there is a very real chance of perma-death, as the ability to resurrect is not possible without full power, and the God of Death is not cooperative.
    Afterlife and Purgatory are not options either. Dying means erasure. Gone.

    Lambert knows Narinder grows stronger by the day, crown or not, and yet keeps him spared as they try to figure out how to complete their own goals. Narinder vows vengeance on the lamb for usurping him. After a few unsuccessful murder attempts, he's in for the long haul. It is only a matter of time before the Lamb's guard is down before he can strike, and The One Who Waits is very patient. When a mystic being demands they save the bishops from purgatory, an alliance is in order.

    Except...the lamb's actions and their presence begin to unlock abilities within the God of Death he didn't know he had prior to his imprisonment, among other fickle things, like emotions. The prophecy didn't warn him of that part.
