Okay, so. After this post, I got some messages in my askbox, and now I’m sure no one really gets what I mean when I say that I ship Samifer. So I’d like to clarify some points.

• No, I don’t think Lucifer loves Sam or is in love with him.
• No, I don’t think Sam loves Lucifer or is in love with him.
• Yes, I think Lucifer likes Sam, but just in the insane sense of the term.
• No, I don’t think Sam likes Lucifer in any sense.
• No, I don’t see it in a Stockholm Syndrome way.
• No, I don’t think Sam has ever enjoyed what Lucifer did to him; and no, I don’t think he ever will.
• No, I don’t find it “funny”, “cute”, “awww” or “hot sex”.

There’s no romance, this is not a love story, this is the dark and painful story of a poor boy and his torturer.

The “it’s just fiction” argument doesn’t mean that only in real life rape is bad while in fiction it’s good or trivial. The point is: in real life, real people get hurt. In fiction, there’s no one really suffering an abuse or whatever bad thing might happen, so when it comes to fiction, my personal cup of tea is pain. Pain = beautiful.
Rape is horrible in this fictional situation as it is in real life, and as well as in real life it’s non-con and one-sided. And that’s why I love this storyline, because it’s painful, because it hurts, because Sam has to struggle against this torture, because he’s broken inside and he tries to resist. The beauty of his character shines in this context, in a painful yet wonderful way.
So when I say I ship Samifer, it doesn’t mean that I turn their interaction into a romance. It means that I love the tragic and violent dynamic they have, exactly as it is in canon.
