  3. Summary

    Despite the impression that Gabriel and the other Archangels give, Heaven isn't dull at all. In fact, it's rather like the average high school. You've got drama, grudges, bullies, the works. Plus the fact that the students can, ya know, do miracles and all that.

    Summary

    White Lily holds her staff close, and places a hand on her Soul Jam, looking at it for a moment before continuing. “We cannot beat Dark Enchantress Cookie alone. We will need our whole Soul Jams, and for that we need both sides to work together in unison.”

    “The Beast cookies,” Dark Cacao says, eyes widening upon realizing.

    “Yes. Precisely.”
    --------
    In order to unlock the full power of the Soul Jams to defeat Dark Enchantress, the Ancients must delve into the shared consciousness they have with their other halves.

    Summary

    Something terrible happened to Alastor in his human life and when he wakes up in Hell, he finds himself as prey for the vicious sinners around him. Desperate, he makes a deal he comes to regret.

    Vox is fascinated by the deadly, untouchable Radio Demon and somehow manages to charm the man who initially wanted his head. They strike up a friendship that leads to some fluttery feelings on both ends, but before anything can develop, Alastor's deal (and a certain moth-demon) cause complications.

    Misunderstandings and broken hearts ensue, and a blossoming romance sours into something messy and hateful.

    And then Alastor disappears for 7 years. When he returns, his fight with Adam leaves him wounded and vulnerable, and Vox decides that it's time to put an end to the man who destroyed both his heart and his afterlife.

    But his complicated feelings for Alastor won't let him end his life and it turns out that they miss each other more than either of them realised. Can they salvage the ashes of their relationship, or will Valentino and questionable deals destroy them both?

    Summary

    Then, Alastor is dipping him low, and it’s the first time Vox has seen him from this angle. He is gorgeous, if a little smug. Alastor looks at him like he’s a bug or something that can be eaten, and wow that expression is really doing it for him. But—

    “Did you make me do the fucking girl part?!” He demands, mortified. “Al. What the fuck!”

    Or: Vox has got some internalized homophobia, but he’s working on it!

    Summary

    Vincent’s problem was always the same: he wants.

    He wants, he wants, he wants. And no amount of getting or receiving will ever change that fact, will ever close the cavern inside of him that always wants more. Getting is secondary, underwhelming in comparison to the thrill of wanting. Of chasing. When he found something he wanted, he pursued it single-mindedly. He made a plan, he pulled his strings, he put every piece of the puzzle into place. That was when he was on top of the world. Receiving his prize was little more than a participation trophy, and by the time he got it he had usually already found another want. Want, want, want.

    Sometimes, at night, he wondered if his luck would run out, and when. What happened when he met someone he couldn’t charm or bully into giving him what he wanted? Who was immune to his silver tongue, his clever quips, his flashy smile or a flirtatious bat of his mismatched eyes? What happened when he took a risk that didn’t pay off?

    When Vincent takes a spring break trip to New Orleans to celebrate his upcoming college graduation, he may just find the answer to that question where he least expects it.

    And it will alter the course of his life forever.

    Summary

    Many had marked their calendars in anticipation of what they were effectively calling “Judgement Day” for one loathsome sinner. The event itself was rather absurdist, the first of its kind, for no sinner had ever caused such an uproar that they demanded a second Judgement post-mortem.

    What punishment, everyone thought, would be fitting for a man who made such history?

    Once, this creature was a man whose voice and manner were adored by the many who followed him. Now, he stood alone, chained, and without the strength to raise his head.

    “Let the Judgement of the Media Overlord, Vox, commence.”

    --

    My personal take on a post-Season 2 redemption arc for Vox, where the Speaker of God takes away Vox's voice as punishment for his crimes in Season 2- this is the Voiceless AU and a RadioSilence Fic
