Summary
“There will be conditions,” Alastor says, once the door clicks shut behind Vox. Vox clenches one shaking hand against the deadbolt. He swallows, turning only once he’s had time to collect himself and lock the door.
“Yeah of-,” he croaks, and then clears his throat, “Of course. That’s- Yes, whatever you-” he bites back the ‘want’ that threatens to complete that sentence, unwilling to make it any more obvious than it already is how badly he needs this to happen.
~~~~~~
In which Vox is made an offer than he can't even fathom refusing.

Summary
“Will you remember this when we stop?” Vox asks frantically.
Alastor’s eyebrows furrow, just for a second. “Do you want me to?”
“No!” Vox practically shouts, flailing his hands in front of himself, “Fuck, no, forget this. Don’t remember anything.”
“Okay,” Alastor says simply.
Vox blinks at him. He could… There are things he knows he’ll never hear out of Alastor’s mouth. Simple endearments, reassurances… Things no one has ever said to him.
Things Alastor would never say to him. Not of his own free will. It scares him to recognize what he’d give to hear them.
It’s pathetic, he knows, to use hypnosis to be told that he’s something worth cherishing. To have to use it, because he knows he’ll never hear it otherwise, and he can’t fucking stand it.
To want it all bad enough to do it anyway.
~~~~~~
In which Vox uses his newfound hypnosis ability to make a fucking mess.

Summary
“I remember this one,” Vox says.
Alastor’s humming stops. Anxiety tastes like acid on the back of Vox's tongue.
“As do I,” Alastor admits.
Vox swallows past the lump in his throat. He can taste smoke in the air, feel Alastor’s hair brushing the edge of his face in his memories.
“Dance with me?” he asks.
Alastor freezes.
Vox freezes.
They stare at each other wordlessly, twin expressions of shock and apprehension.
There are ghosts behind Alastor’s grin. He wonders if Alastor can see the moments that haunt him too, a thousand memories pixelating into a reckless longing reflected in his wide eyes.
~~~~~
In which there is dancing, and a monumental shift.

Summary
”You’d call everything off right now, just for this?”
Just for this, he says. As though it’s trivial. As though it isn’t everything that Vox has dreamt of every night for the past several decades. As though the rejection doesn’t sting just as sharply every time he wakes up and reaches to the other side of a cold bed, hands searching for a lover that will never be there, and hears callous laughter echoing in the back of his skull.
Vox sucks in a shaky breath, closing his eyes. He tilts his face downward, unable to look at Alastor when he admits it. He almost can’t bring himself to, sure that Alastor is already certain of the answer.
”Yes,” he whispers.
”You can’t be serious,” Alastor says quietly.
~~~~~~
In which many things come to light, all earth-shattering.

Summary
”Honestly, Herr Forehead, I needed a disguise. Thanks for being a part of it, by the way.” He squeezes his arm a little tighter around Apollo’s shoulders.
”How am I a disguise?” Apollo asks, still just this side of bewildered by the whole encounter.
Klavier swallows, turning his face away. His mouth pulls up for a second, but it doesn’t look happy.
“Well,” he says quietly, “No one would ever expect me to be seen with you.”
~~~~~~
In which there are misunderstandings, Apollo’s self-worth issues, and the worst group of human beings on the planet: the paparazzi.

Summary
“You become so — tender,” Alastor reprimands, not un-fondly, turning his head away. There’s some confusion, some wonder in his voice when he strokes Vincent’s face without looking at it, when he adds, as if an afterthought, “You only get soft for me.”
Vincent laughs, victorious. “And you only get hard for me.”

Summary
“His death,” Megumi starts. “How did it happen?”
God, this is it. Gojo tugs off his blindfold and watches it flutter pathetically to the floor like a dying butterfly. He’d rather swim in a sea of curses than do this, but Megumi deserves to know.
“Me.”
Megumi’s breath hitches. A thousand microexpressions that Gojo’s learned to read over the years flicker across his features like the pages of a flipbook. “...what?”
“It was me. I killed him,” Gojo confirms. “I killed your father, Megumi.”
---------
Gojo admits something.

Bedtime Rituals to Try out Before the Next Angelic War by Budinca

Summary
He hadn’t even managed to put on shoes when Charlie’s loud, desolated groan at the other end of the hotel had made him rush out of his room, and his slippers and the hems of his pyjama bottoms were slowly getting soaked through. Why the fuck had he even bothered to change? He loved Charlie (see constants no. 1-4), but even he had to admit his current discomfort was solely the result of the list of healthy bedtime rituals she’d organised for him when, allegedly, the bags under his eyes had started developing a gravitational pull.
In which Lucifer has insomnia, the hotel is moderately alive, and Alastor is in over his head.
