Summary
It’s fine. It’s totally fine that Alastor is back – he is completely normal about it. In fact, he’s got plans. Good plans, nay great plans, to finally get the edge over the Radio Demon, once and for all. And, sure, if he gets more power in the process, that’s fine, too.
Or Vox begins a foray into politics and local government.
Who knew there’d be fine print?

Summary
The silence stretched between them then, thick and awkward. Not because they had nothing to say; because they had too much. Too many questions neither wanted to voice first. Too many unspoken rules from Hell suddenly meaningless here.
Vox finally stood, joints cracking in protest. Annoying. Stupid human body. “Look. All I know is we woke up like this. On Earth. Together. With all our memories and none of our powers. So, congratulations, deer boy, you’re stuck with me.”
Alastor pinched the bridge of his nose, inhaling sharply through his teeth. “Let me get this straight. I have been forcibly deposited into a mortal vessel, next to you, with no warning, no explanation, and no immediate means of escape?”
“That’s the gist,” Vox said.
Alastor stared at him.
Then laughed.
Or Alastor and Vox find themselves trapped in Purgatory with human bodies.

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
Of all the demons who could have possibly inherited his contract. Why did it have to be Vox? The pompous, obnoxious, desperate television demon who had been oh so obsessed with him for ages. And Vox would never let him go. Not now that he had him. What he’d wanted for so long now, always just out of his reach. No, nothing could persuade him to give him up.
Vox gets ahold of Alastor's soul, and he intends to take full advantage of his new acquisition. Unfortunately, his feelings for the man make everything a bit more complicated. But Alastor might just come to realize that Vox owning his soul isn't actually the worst thing.

Summary
“You are under the influence of aphrodisiacs,” Alastor surmises.
Vox rolls his eyes. “Yep.”
“And Valentino is expecting you to use me to relieve that.”
“Yep.”
“But you are not planning on raping me?”
Vox flinches. “The fuck? Of course not! I mean—” His flush brightens. “I could. Don’t think I couldn’t, or wouldn’t. I will have whoever I want, baby! But that’s not the sort of win I want over you. I know it wouldn’t break you, and that’s no fun. And you’d hate it.”
“I think that is rather the point,” Alastor says, slowly, like he’s talking to an idiot.
Valentino is fed up with Vox obsessing over their captive but not following through and decides to push the issue by drugging him. It changes nothing, and everything.

Summary
A Radiostatic AU. Vox is an anxious nobody at the bottom of Hell's corporate food chain - an IT worker, stuck in the basement floor of Hell's biggest and most powerful company. He's accepted his fate, as dull and uneventful as it may be, even if - in the quiet hours of the night - he secretly longs for more. But when Vox catches the eye of the company's magnetically charming CEO, Alastor, and is offered the role of assistant, everything begins to change.
An unconventional love story exploring the intense relationship between a dominant and his TV-headed submissive, how power and control can provide care and relief, and how two demons, both carrying private torments, might find healing in each other - against all odds.
...And maybe violate workplace conduct in the process.

Summary
This demon again. The one that is always pestering him with invitations, with requests, with ads in the damned newspaper asking for his attention.
This demon again, that makes his head ache every single time one of those invitations comes across his desk. Why? How frustrating. How annoying. And how insulting, that others apparently know why, and he simply does not.
He can’t stand not knowing. That’s the muckraker in him, he supposes, hah! Well, fuck it. His cat is off doing whatever his cat is going to do, and he has nothing better to do tonight. Without further ado, Alastor slinks around directly into Vox’s path, dangling the second glass of wine in front of his screen. “Good evening.”

Summary
Alastor doesn’t pull his hand away, in spite of how he’d very much like to.
Typically—this is a game reserved for a disgusting pig of a white man that he’s been stalking for a few weeks now, at the bare minimum. Perhaps a few months, even. He’s not certain this one qualifies yet to be on the main list, but he does tick all of the preliminary boxes. He’d make for terrible prey, though, Alastor sadly notes. A high profile white man from New York that has come down to specifically chase after him? No, no, that won’t do. He can’t kill this man. It would fall back onto him immediately.
Buuuut, he is still having a bit of fun, laying out a few honey traps here and there, for whatever reason. Just in case.
~
1930s Human AU. Newscastor (and CBS Executive) Vincent goes to New Orleans to scout some new talent. He gets a lot more than either of them bargain for in a particular small-time radio host.

Summary
When Vox begins coughing up flower petals, he is horrified to discover it is a consequence of this unrequited obsession with a certain Radio Demon. His priority is working with Carmilla on Angelic Security, but he’s also spending too much time making bad choices, being forced into deals, and getting mixed up with Alastor, which puts increasing strain on his working relationship — and friendship — with the other Vees.
The discoveries Vox makes are far bigger than him, with the power to determine Hell’s future. That’s if he can pull the right strings; if the Hazbin Hotel would just stop meddling; if he wasn’t brushing shoulders with this slippery word called ‘empathy.’
Heaven grows restless. The decades-old line between him and Alastor blurs further. Everything just gets… really fucking complicated.

Theirs is a love written in sunlight and river water, blood and sweat, salvation and ruin. It brought a dead heart back to life; it called a lost soul back from the void. It gave two broken men something to fight for.
This is how it ends.

Summary
The archfey let out a breathy chuckle as she walked over to a nearby worktable and flipped open a journal. “If you’re trying to get out of the deal, save your breath. I have provided for many warlocks over the centuries, I have heard it all.”
“Not at all, I want to help you.”
“What do you mean?”
“Remember the terms of our agreement. There’s still something left I am left wanting, until I achieve it, you can’t collect. Surely this is grounds enough for negotiation?”
