Hi Anon, so sorry for this super delayed reply but thank you so much for your kind message! ♡

As for a happy Cielizzy ending…it pains me to say it but I highly, highly doubt it. Kuroshitsuji is a tragedy through and through. There might be moments of humor and lightheartedness sprinkled throughout but the overarching storyline is without a doubt a bleak and blood-soaked one. 

OurCiel is tethered to hell and damnation via his contract with Sebastian – he’s going to get his soul devoured by a starving demon. And even if OC manages to finagle his way out of it, he’s still the Queen’s Watchdog. His very occupation could do what the demon failed to accomplish and wind up killing OC. (We honestly don’t know how this kid is going to fare without a demon butler aiding him every step of the way.) 

And let’s not forget – OurCiel is suffering from major PTSD (+ a whole slew of psychological trauma) that he’s been repressing by sheer force of will in a desperate attempt to find and kill those who murdered his family/sold himself and his twin to a cult. But after? When OC has no absolute goal to work towards?

He’s going to unravel – and he’s going to unravel fast. 

And Lizzy can’t fix him. Love is a beautiful thing but it’s not a universal panacea. Elizabeth can’t erase whatever torment OC went through and honestly, I’m not sure if OC even wants to heal. After all, witnessing every individual in your home get slaughtered before getting kidnapped, sold into a cult, accidentally summoning a demon, watching your brother get his soul devoured, spending 3+ years learning from a self-serving demonic heathen, being forced to confront his reanimated corpse of a brother, defeating him, and then implementing whatever end-game plan he has to escape Sebastian? 

OC is going to be exhausted. He’s going to be forced to live in this world without a tether – without a purpose. What would OC want to accomplish with his newfound life? He’s killed those who’ve harmed him but that will never erase the absolute agony he went through. It won’t bring back Madam Red or offer him absolution from all the sins he’s committed. 

And slowly, painfully, Elizabeth is going to realize she’s married a dead man walking. She will love him with all her heart but the shining bright-eyed girl of before will never again reappear. She’ll learn that laughter and innocent joy will never bring the boy she adores any happiness – only fragmented smiles and the pale imitation of what could have been. She will love him and she will be OC’s last remaining piece of humanity – his very last shred of sanity and his final reason for being. 

But will she be enough? 

If these two married it’d be bittersweet at best. 

…

…Holy heck I just re-read what I wrote and I swear I didn’t mean for it to get this depressing LOL 

I just love Cielizzy so much – but not as some perfect happy-go-lucky fairytale couple, heck no. This is one pairing that is going to suffer – there’s no peaceful end for them. No raising a child in contented bliss. 

They’ll be the loveliest of all the Greek tragedies and I guess that’s why I love them so much.
