Boomerang (part 1)
Vox x Female!Ex!Overlord!Reader
Summary: When Vox proves incapable of cutting Valentino out of his sex life despite his many reassurances, you decide to break it off with him and leave for good. He doesn’t take it so well.
Just to be clear, reader is an artificial intelligence demon, looks super realistic and human-like, but is actually composed of nanotechnology. She was human once though, like all of the other sinners.
INSPIRED BY THIS POST
Part 2—> Chapter Index
"Y/n?" Charlie poked her head through your door. "There's uh, someone here to see you."
You narrowed your eyes, rising from your bed. A bone-weary sigh escaped you. It was obvious who your supposed "visitor" was. "Did you tell him I'm busy?"
Charlie pursed her lips, looking down. Great, so that meant he was throwing a temper tantrum. And she wanted you to sort him out.
"Alright, fine," you pinched the bridge of your nose. "I'm coming." She was generous enough to let you stay, after all. The least you could do was clean up your messes.
When you finally reached the main floor, Vox and Alastor looked about two seconds away from clawing each other's faces off. Cyan blue electricity was sparking along Vox's entire body, and Alastor's shadows curled dangerously behind him, ready to attack at his call.
Seeing him made a hot fury like no other claw its way up your throat. "What the fuck are you doing here?" You growled lowly, balling your fists at your sides.
At the sound of your voice, Vox immediately broke away from Alastor, a giant smile spreading across his screen. "Sweetheart! There you are!"
You stormed up to him, grabbing his wrist and pulling him harshly into a corner. You let go of him once you were sufficiently out of earshot of the others, crossing your arms and leveling him with a furious glare. "You have five seconds to explain yourself."
"Okay, let's just calm down for a second here," he chuckled, but it was an empty sound. "Is it really that weird for me to want to check up on you? After all, you kind of just disappeared," his smile strained.
"Has it ever occurred to you that the reason you couldn't find me was because I don't want to see you?" You smiled sardonically, patience running thin.
"Uh, what?" He laughed, but his smile was frozen. "Why would you not want to see me?"
That was the last fucking straw. "Are you that fucking delusional, Vox?" You snapped, poking him harshly in the chest. "When I said I was done, I meant it. This," you gestured between the two of you. "Is over. I'm done."
Vox twitched, electricity sparking off sporadically from his antennae. He stared at you in stunned silence, his breathing starting to pick up speed as he processed your words. His eyes searched your face for any sign that you were being untruthful, and when he found none, he glanced up at the small crowd of residents and staff gathered, only to lock eyes with a smug Alastor.
Vox's screen glitched, his features twisting in a rage. "So you're replacing me with the radio fucker now, is that it?"
"Oh, really?" You narrowed your eyes. "Just like you replaced me with Valentino?"
"That's different," Vox gritted out.
"Is it?"
"Yes, for one, Val isn't some archaic cannibalistic fucker with a vendetta against me!"
"Who has the vendetta against who here? Cause it seems like you're the one who can't let things go." You watched him splutter on his bullshit for a few seconds before you shook your head in exasperation, the pounding pressure increasing at your temples. "Alright, that's it, we're done here. Get out."
"Y/n," he narrowed his eyes. "You need to think about this."
"Oh I've had plenty of time to think," you grabbed his tie, pulling him closer to bare your teeth menacingly. "Now get out before I put a goddamn virus in your software Vox!" Your face pixelated from rage at the end of your sentence. You let him go with a harsh shove.
For a long moment nobody spoke, a tense silence blanketing over the two of you. You glared at him venomously, chest still heaving from your outburst. And him, he was looking at you like he'd never seen you before. Good, you thought spitefully. It's finally getting through to him.
Vox's mouth hardened into a thin line, his sharp claws nearly drawing blood from his palms. "Why here?"
You closed your eyes. "It’s not a forever thing. I just—I need to be away from everything for a little while, okay?" Everything that we've built together. Reminders of you. "No flashy shit, no fast life, no technology—"
"You're an A.I. model," he said dully.
"Yeah well, you win some you lose some," you sighed, rubbing at your temples. "Look, I don't want to say it again. Leave Vox, I'm serious."
For a hot second, it looked like you were ripping his entire world apart and stomping on the broken pieces, the way he looked at you so lost, before he hastily pulled himself back together. "Fine," he spat out. It sounded like it physically hurt him to say it.
He lifted his chin, adjusted his lapels, and stormed out of the hotel, slamming the door so hard it blew straight off of its hinges, blue sparks of electricity still sizzling from it.
For a few seconds, a thick tension suffocated the room, as everyone took the time to process the shit show they'd just witnessed.
"Well, that was fun!" Alastor's cheery voice punctuated the silence. You glared at him tiredly.
***
If you thought that he would give up like you so nicely asked, you were sadly mistaken.
Turned out it was just a pre-game warm up for this asshole.
At least thrice a week, he made sure to fuck up your peace somehow. Last time it was spray painting the entire hotel electric blue (how, you didn't even want to know). The time before that, it was trying to sneak some of his peeping gadgets in through the window. And the time before that, it was putting your name up on every billboard in the goddamn city with a red heart next to it.
Now, you stood incredulously in front of half of the hotel. As in, the other half was missing. Blown off by a fucking missile. You couldn't make this shit up if you tried.
"What the fuck is going on?" You gritted out, before taking a deep, calming breath.
Vox's electric laughter rang out from a speaker of unknown source. You turned angrily to face the open air.
"Pathetic," he jeered. "You still want to shack up with these losers, Y/n?"
You shook your head slowly, laughing in disbelief. "Wow," you said sarcastically. "You really showed us, didn't you? Feel better about yourself now?"
You punctuated your sentence with a glare, before turning and storming towards the remaining half of the building.
Vox watched you from twenty different angles across his screens. The moment you turned your back, his wide, toothy grin dropped, eyes squeezing shut. He slammed mute on his microphone.
“FUCK!” He banged a fist on the table, breathing heavily. It had been two weeks already, and you still hadn’t come back to him. He was getting desperate now.
A quick glance at the screen showed Alastor’s glitching picture. The radio bastard snapped his fingers with a raised brow, the missing half of the hotel repairing itself instantly.
“Fucking show off,” Vox growled raggedly.
He needed to change tactics. And fast.
***
Nothing. He had nothing.
No plans, no blueprints, no smart and suave moves to get you back.
Every scenario he ran through his head would inevitably end with you walking away from him. If only he could hypnotize you like with everyone else—but you were a tech demon, just like him. More advanced, even. Your firewalls were just too strong.
Vox poured himself another glass of scotch, solemnly glaring up at the ceiling in frustration.
A clawed hand clasped his shoulder, making him grit his teeth.
“You’re looking a little tense, Cariño,” Valentino purred, trailing his fingers up Vox’s neck. “I can help with that~”
Vox shrugged him off, annoyed. “Not in the mood, Val.”
But Valentino was undeterred. “Is this about Y/n?” He murmured, knowing he hit the nail on the head when the other demon tensed considerably. “What’s so special about that bitch anyway, hm? Is it the pussy? You know I’ve got whores lined up for you, baby. Just say the word and—”
“Fuck off, Val!” Vox exploded, electricity sparking in his eye. “I don’t want just any random bitch from the street, okay?! I want Y/n. I want her back,” he spat miserably.
Valentino went silent, his face twisting into a cruel expression. “Don’t you understand?” He growled. “She left you. Betrayed you. And she’s not coming back, ever. The sooner you see that and stop wasting your time, the better.”
He turned away, his heels clacking against the marble floors until the double doors swung closed behind him.
Vox let out a frustrated yell, arcs of electricity shooting out from him and shattering his expensive collection of drinking glasses to smithereens.
***
A tap sounded at your window, making you tense.
Slowly you approached it, generating a pistol from your nanotech and holding it tightly to your chest. You peered out of the blinds, only to find your ex dangling from the window sill.
“Holy shit!” You screeched, jumping back.
“A lil’ help?” he grinned lazily, reaching out for you. You grasped his hand, hauling him inside of your room.
The unmistakably pungent scent of alcohol invaded your senses, making your wrinkle your nose.
“Jesus fucking Christ, are you drunk?” You dragged a hand down your face.
“No,” he hiccuped, shaking his head vehemently, which caused him to lose balance. You grabbed his shoulders, righting him before he fell and broke his screen.
“Oh yeah,” his face lit up in realization, before he reached behind him, pulling out a bouquet of slightly squashed roses. “For you,” he slurred, offering them proudly.
You looked at them in exasperation, before taking them gently from his hands. Bringing them up to your face, you closed your eyes, sniffing them slightly. A sweet floral scent filled your senses as you regarded them.
“They’re pretty,” you remarked quietly.
“Yeah,” he grinned, your eyes flickering up to catch his. “But you’re prettier.” At your lack of reaction, his grin faltered, and he looked down.
“I…” he started, swaying slightly. “I’m sorry.”
You closed your eyes, shaking your head. “Don’t do this.”
“Please come home,” he continued, expression drooping sorrowfully. He clasped your hand, looking up at you pleadingly. “I’ll…I’ll do better, I promise.”
The ache in your heart grew almost unbearable the more you looked at him, so you averted your gaze. “Why don’t you ever say that when you’re sober?”
Vox let go of your hand, sliding down the wall until he landed on his ass. “Scared,” he mumbled.
You crouched down in front of him, lifting his hanging head from his arms. “Of what?” You said gently.
His eyes flickered up to yours, and the raw emotion nearly stole your breath away. “You still won’t want me.”
“Vox…” You closed your eyes, pained.
“Come home,” he whispered hollowly. “Please.”
“You know I can’t do that,” you said thickly, swallowing the lump in your throat.
He looked at you sadly, but resigned. “Yeah, I know,” he lowered his screen back into his arms. “…miss you,” he trailed off quietly, before soft whistling snores could be heard.
You dropped your face in your hands, breathing raggedly. Fuck. Fuckfuckfuck. You had almost fucking caved.
After a moment to compose yourself, you searched his pockets, pulling out his phone (he didn’t even change his password) and dialing a familiar number.
“What the fuck do you want now, Vox?” An irritated feminine voice answered the line.
“Velvette,” you said cooly. “I need a favor.”

Warnings ⚠️: Cussing, Vox is a horrible boss
10:00am
(Y/n) walked into Vox’s office, holding an folder with today’s date and Vox’s name on it.
“Mr. Vox.” She said, her dead eyes watching her boss turn around in his excessively large chair.
“Hm, what is it (Y/n)?” He said, giving her a single glance before turning back to his monitors
“You have three meetings today sir. 1:00pm with Velvette in her portion of the tower. 2:30pm with Valentino in the main conference room, and someone scheduled a 4:00 with you, a Mr. Alastor? Called in today for an urgent meeting.”
Vox slammed his hands down on the desk, his face glitching in seething anger. “THAT PRICK!! CALL BACK AND TELL HIM I WILL NOT BE ATTENDING ANY SORT OF MEETING WITH HIM!!”
“He called from a public telephone sir, I can’t trace the caller ID.” (Y/n) said, clearly unfazed by his temper tantrum.
“DAMN IT!” He said, punching a smaller monitor on his right,”DONT YOU EVER LET HIM SCHEDULE ANOTHER MEETING WITH ME OR VOXTECH EVER AGAIN!!!”
Vox turned around, pointing one of his clawed fingers in your deadpanned face.
“Okay sir, is that all?”
“UGH!!” He said, clenching his fists to his side,”WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?? IM AN OVERLORD, I AM THE VOX, YOU SHOULD BE QUIVERING IN FEAR!! IM YELLING MY HEAD OFF AT YOU AND YOU CANT EVEN FORM AN EXPRESSION?? ARE YOU BRAINDEAD??”
(Y/n) slowly blinks, before looking down and rummaging through the folder she still held. “Ah, I almost forgot. Mr. Alastor requested his meeting also in the main conference room. If you need another reminder about your meetings today just call me-“
She was cut off once more by Vox, screaming and yelling, throwing things hazardously across the room. “JUST LEAVE.”
“Alright sir.” (Y/n) said, immediately turning away and walking towards the door.
————
4:45pm
(Y/n) was at her desk, taking calls and rearranging Vox’s schedule for tomorrow when her work phone buzzed.
“Hello? This is (Y/n) with Voxtech. How may I-“
“(Y/n). My office. Now.”
“Sir? This isn’t your work phone number? How can I be sure that this is-“
“MY OFFICE. NOW.”
(Y/n) could hear his voice glitching over the phone before she hung up, and briskly made her way to the door of his office.
She walked in to his Vox in his obnoxiously large chair, his hands covering his screen as he sighed in exhaustion.
“Ah, sir. You called me?”
“Yes (Y/n). I have installed safety features into your desk. Don’t except meetings from Alastor. If he comes in here, press the button under your monitor. He is NEVER allowed in this building.”
“Okay sir.” She said, making a note of that on her smartwatch,”Will that be all?”
“Can you get me a coffee…?”
“Right away sir.”
————
5:00pm
“Here’s your coffee sir.” (Y/n) said, setting it in his outreached hand.
“Thank you (Y/n)” He said, taking a single sip before doing a spit take. On one of the monitors around the city, it showed Velvette and Alastor chatting to one another.
“WHAT?!?” Vox yelled, being as “careful” as he usually is, his coffee flies into the air before landing on his shirt. He hissed in pain at the hit liquid, scrambling around before tripping on the various wires around his monitor setup (that was replaced after his previous temper tantrum) and landing on his ass.
Vox looked up in shock to see (Y/n) covering half of her mouth, revealing a smile. Tears brimmed her eyes as she tried to respectfully hold in her laughter.
Vox’s face felt red hot. Out of embarrassment and admiration. Why didn’t she smile more? Oh that smile, if she could remove her hand it would reveal its full glory. Let him soak it in. Her eyes filled with life and laughter. Has she always been this….beautiful? Yes, I think she has. She has indeed.
She let out a little snort before regaining her composure, before crouching down in front of him, taking the napkins provided with the coffee, and starting to wipe off as much of the liquid as possible. He felt her delicate hands rub across his chest. He hope she didn’t feel his erratic heartbeat.
He wanted this. He’s yearned for this and he didn’t even know it. Vox’s breathing became as erratic as his heartbeat, almost in sync. He felt sweat starting to drip, wether it be from the hot coffee adorning his now ruined shirt or from the stunning woman and her hands on his chest.
Trying to get as much as she could, (Y/n) scooted even closer, not realizing her hips were hovering right over his. Vox’s mind was running wild, his screen glitching and flicking between different error signals. His hands floating near the handles of her hips. Taking a gulp, he almost put his hands on her skin. Almost. He ended up just leaving his hands there, leaving a ghostly stabilization to the assistant who was cleaning him up like a toddler who spilt his apple juice.
(Y/n) looked up at Vox’s eyes, their eyes locking onto one another. A small smile could be faintly seen across her lips before it went back to its neutral state.
She helped him to his feet, her soft hands gently pulling on his clawed ones, slowly helping him to his feet. Handing him the remaining napkins. “I’ll schedule a trip to the dry cleaners. Does 3:45 tomorrow work well for you?”
Vox sat back down, his eyes wide in shock from what just happened. “Yeah, sure, whatever. I don’t care.”
“Alright sir, I’ll get that done, and then I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Okay…”
(Y/n) walked out, the door closing behind her. Leaving the room back in it’s inky black darkness, with the exception of the glowing monitors.
Vox looked at his reflection in the main monitor. He could see his goofy smile. His blush adorning his cheeks. His eyes lighting up like a child who knows no sin. He looked like what he was, a lovestruck fool. A lovestruck fool for his assistant.

Unwanted Soul _ Part 6 = Requested
[Yandere!Alastor x Owner of his Soul!Reader]
Related Request
Part 1 — Part 2 — Part 2.5 (ask) — Part 3 — Part 4 — Part 5 — Part 6 (here)
Tumblr media
That day, that inferno yet glorious day, Alastor met his fated one. His other half, as people would say. In his days alive, he considered himself married to his work. Never courted other ladies even though a number of them were in the palm of his hand, able to bend to his will. Never dated because it was a waste of time when he had better things to do. And never even thought of delicating his life and time to another that wasn’t his mother
But it was after meeting you that there was that want, that need to please and care for you unlike any other. He thought it was a fleeting feeling since you did save him at his lowest, a bit of admiration for your unique power, one of its kind as he sees it. He thought he wanted the power for himself, wanted you on his leash to be his to control
So he tried. Manipulation tactic, words of persuasion, charming personality, and his overwhelming power. These were all at his disposal and he used them all to make you bend like the others in his living life and afterlife. Yet you never did falter. The only thing that was consistent about you was your care and your insistence for him to leave your home
Now he doesn’t want to leave. Not until he figured out what was happening with himself. He can’t maintain his Overlord image with this destruction within himself. So he made all excuses he could to delay his departure. His wound was the reason why you were caring for him and letting him stay, so he’ll just worsen it with the help of his claws and shadows. Your healing abilities can’t keep up? Welp, looks like he has to stay a while longer
“Why rush recovery? Do you really want me gone, Dear?”
“Yes. Now get out. Your playground is not here.”
“Hahaha! No.”
He felt like Alice. The girl that followed the white rabbit down the rabbit hole and found wonderland, following the white rabbit all over the place and experience so much, before waking up to it all being a dream. However, different from Alice, Alastor doesn’t want to leave this wonderland he found. He doesn’t want to wake up from this blissful dream
As luck would have it, you live in the more secluded side of the pentagram and you weren’t as connected to pompous technology that Vox places around the place to stalk demons. Nor were the demons in your area acquainted with the famous and infamous Overlords. There seem to be a silent agreement among your area’s residents to not bring in political or business like matters. Only self-interest
He was pleased to find this place as a little haven away from the spotlight. No demon here cared who Alastor was nor do they want to know, if he was weak, they’ll prey upon him. That was why some demons were trying to take him while you were there to save him. When he first spoke and his staff appeared in his hands, you immediately recognized him
Fear and regret was what he expected to see in your eyes, yet all you display was annoyance and cautiousness. You were quick to set him on his feet and direct him to the door, providing him  directions back to the center of the city where he belonged. The fact that you showed him he didn’t belong here set something ablaze in his cold heart
So he stayed longer than what the past him would have liked. The more he learned about you, the deeper he was. He picked up your little habits, your interest hobbies, your peculiar interest, and your wonderful personality
Soon he found a label for all he was doing and feeling. He was under the influence called ‘love’, he remembered his mother telling him that he will find ‘the one for him’, maybe he can explain it or maybe he can’t. Either way, he’ll know in his heart. Whoever that person or being is, that’s his other half
It was you. All you. He learned it through a terrifying experience
“Darling, I’m back from shopping!” Alastor announced into the apartment after entering the front door through the gaps with the help of his shadows, his little minions carrying bags from his outing into the table you had. “My, I brought a lot more than you needed, but I hope you didn’t mind I took a bit lon—!”
His eyes turned to radio dials when he realized the familiar scent of iron was in your apartment. His grip on his crane tightened as he followed it, stronger and stronger, until he stopped in front of your bedroom door. No question, it was coming from here. His hand removed itself from behind his back to grip the doorknob, the other bringing his crane to his side.
His gaze shifted from the doorknob to in front of him. Usually, you would have told him not to creepily stand in the front of your door. Why aren’t you telling him to enter? Why aren’t you calling him out? Why was it silent?
In a swift movement, he turned the knob and opened the door. The scent of blood was suffocating, he didn’t think he’ll mind it ever after his new-found interest in murder. Yet when it came to yours, it was suffocating him like he was being pushed under the ocean. 
Amidst the shock of it all, he let go of his crane and it dropped to the ground while he made his way to your giant comfortable bed. His eyes darted all over the place. Red. So much red. The bed was soaked in red. Red. Red? Blood. Blood? Why? Where? Your waist, why is there a knife sticking out of it? Your eyes are closed.
Sleeping? Dead? Dead? Dead? 
“Dear!” Alastor got onto your bed, his hand hovering over your body as he tried to think of something. “What do I…? Who did this?”
Your eyes fluttered open, he was shocked to see the lack of spark in them, your head tilted up to meet his gaze yet it wasn’t focused. “Al..astor… You’re… here?”
Alastor eyed, “Why wouldn’t I? You sent me to buy restock your supplies! Your locations were all over the place so it took me some time to complete.”
“I sent… you farther away… so that… you’ll leave…” You spoke so monotonously, “Why are… you back…?”
“That’s beside the point! Who attacked you? Who hurt you?! Who put you in such a state?” Alastor demanded, the static grow deafening but you weren’t even affected. 
Your dull eyes blinked, “I did.” You reached for the knife, only to hover your hand over the handle, “I did it… to remind myself… some…thing…”
Alastor flinched when you pulled it out, his eyes narrowing as your blood pooled and stained the bed red. Red is a favourite of his. Red that painted his victims. Red that removed his father. Red that was covering you. You don’t look good in your own red. It’s a horrid colour on you. 
“You should leave… me…” Your words snapped him out of his thoughts.
In the blink of an eye, he had that healing page you gave him for emergency and slapped it onto your open wound, he stared at it until the page glowed and started its work. You stiffened and jerked from the sudden pressure on your wound.
There, your spark returned, even if it’s just a bit. “What are you—!”
Alastor leaned close, keeping his hand firmly against your healing wound. He got close until he was next to your ear as if whispering a secret. “If you wanted me gone through self-harming, think again, nothing will make me leave you, My Doe. If nothing else, it makes me want to stay longer.”
You glared at him, but slowly relaxed as consciousness seem to fade. Involuntarily, your head leaned against head as your slept. Alastor cradled you, keeping you in place. He eyed the knife still in your hand and took it, burning it with his flame till nothing was left of it.
A mistake of yours was your insistence for his absence. The more you wanted him gone, the more he tried and showed you that it was impossible to get rid of him. His love and fascination turned darked and twisted, becoming obsessive and possessive that he knew it wasn’t the pure love that his mother described or those ladies wanted from him
Oddly enough, you handled him and his feelings like it was natural. The fact that you carry yourself so cool and unbothered, you accepting it all and using it to your advantage. It was exhilarating, like it was a green light to amp up the intensity. He can give you more and more of his affection and love
More. More. MORE
When he learned that you never dealt with souls before, never received a soul or given your soul to another demon all this time while you were in Hell. His idea of giving you his soul made to him. He wants to be your first and he wants you to be his first. He own souls, yes, but he never thought of giving his soul to another to own and rule over him, he can’t imagine that
With you though, he can. To be yours. To have a reminder that you will be his. Everytime he ghost his neck, there was be his reminder. You’ll call for him, you’ll use him, you’ll only think of relying on him. Oh, just thinking of it was divine. Simply divine
You accepting his offer gave him such a rush. He was yours. It wouldn’t take too long until you were his. Well, in his mind and dreams, you were already his when he came to terms with his love for you, but this relationship was two way, not one. He’s patient. Besides, with you, time proves a lot
At first, you didn’t want him in your apartment, then you saw it as normal that he was there, even when he was doing your chores and taking care of you in more ways than one. Shopping? Check. Cleaning? Check. Meals? Check. Snacks? Check. Desserts? Check. There’s no expenses spared for you. You slowly appreicated his hardwork and dedication to you and gave him rewards you weren’t even aware of
Everything was fine. Everything was perfect
Until you saw that insufferable advertisement presented by that dreamer of a princess Charlotte Morningstar. You little interest in the project was enough to send him away. The rage he felt when he was forced to leave your side to serve someone else. He shouldn’t have left you alone then
“We’re so happy to have you with us at the Happy Hotel!”
“Hazbin Hotel. I’m sure we’ll have a wonderful time.”
Lucky he found a loophole to your orders and could contract you via his radio. Else he doesn’t know how much he could take without you near him. Your voice would suffice for now. Then came his time to prove his usefulness to you, Overlord meetings were very confidential, not that you were interested, but sometimes there were juicy moments and secrets learned
He kept you as his little secret, his little treasure to keep hidden. Even when Zestial asks about his disappearance and Carmilla’s shock to his appearance. He kept you off the table. When he learned of Carmilla’s little stunt, he was excited to tell you. You could form angelic weapons, so it was definitely a useful information for you
And he was rewarded for his efforts. A visit to your apartment. Away from that prison of a hotel. He immediately (strictly) told Charlie he was busy with important stuff for the entire day not to disturb him ot request his help on anything
Alastor has to admit, he nearly lost himself when you appeared before his eyes when he was knocked back by Adam. You protecting him and fighting for him. Him. How could he not be in a daze? But his heart broke when you were hurt by that disgusting so-called angel. That red wasn’t a good look on you. No. Not again
He brought you away to attempt healing you. But this was something done by holy power, not something even you can easily heal from. On the surface you looked to be healed, but you were sleeping again. He hugged you tightly in his arms. Don’t disappear on him
This place reeks of death, there’s a chill in the air
And we barely escaped being killed by a hair
“Great Alastor, altruist, died for his friends”?
Sorry to disappoint… That was never the case!
I’m hungry for your gaze like never before
The constrains of our deal surely have your interest
Once I figure out how to hold your love tightly
Guess who will staying to help that hotel?!
The hotel was the cause of this. Yet he was the cause of your appearance because he wasn’t strong enough to handle Adam. He resented that fact, but his heart beat loudly when he replayed the scene where you fought him. Then that confession where you missed him, if it was any other time, he’d be over the moon hearing that
To him, it felt like an eternity before you woke up again and things were relatively back to normal. You stayed in the hotel with him, you were by his side, you were portrayed to be his assistant, you were his (in his mind). Then the others found out about you. Lucifer was enough of a pain, now there was more
Still, it was worth seeing that you weren’t quick to warm up to them. He took 7 years and then some, why would they be unique? Not to mention they don’t care for you like he does. He was the unique one
Oh, then Mimzy. That demon he thought was his friend. He didn’t care much for her harsh words, not when you were there to push it all away. It was crushing to hear it, the unfiltered thoughts Mimzy talked about him to you. Yet that look on your face was odd, were you feeling angry on his behalf? For him?
He thought that you would tell Mimzy off then when you leave, he’ll have a word with Mimzy. If you didn’t like her then maybe a new voice on the broadcast would do. You never minded his ways of punishing those you are displeased with, so it was fine
What he didn’t expect was you scolding Mimzy, giving her a piece of your mind. You defended him, you cared about him. Surely you did. Why else were you that aggressive?
“What was that?”
“I said, I love you!”
Alastor couldn’t stop himself and asked you, he told himself he was dreaming. He thought he was when you disappeared in the blink of an eye. But the look he got from the residents in the lobby proved otherwise. First thing’s first. He snapped his fingers and had Mimzy devoured by his shadows, it was a minor torture, he’ll get to the fun part later
Now you had his attention
When he appeared in your shared room, you were all wrapped up in your fluffy blanket in the corner of the bed. Despite his joy and excitement, he dialed it down. You come first, just hearing those words from your sweet lips was enough
“My Darling,” Alastor took a seat on the bed, next to you. “If it was the slip of a tongue, I can forget about it.” He’s lying and he knows you know it, still you’d lie to yourself until it was true. For him, just knowing you care for him so is enough. “You have done nothing that I know of. You have confirmed nothing.”
Perhaps it was because he was accepting that he needs to forget it all and act the same, or that it was giving you your space. Either way, he didn’t react when you suddenly moved and pinned him down to the bed. His eyes wide while his smile spread wider, this position is perfect, your face above him that he could stare at forever and never get bored. 
When his mind matched what happened, his eyes drooped and his ears twitched, his smile shrank a bit and his hands reached for you, wanting to pull you in. You let him and he hugged you, placing your ear to his beating heart then he hugged onto your waist. 
“Don’t you dare forget about it.” Your words pierced the silence, he could feel his heart beating louder. “Remember it. Engrave it into your mind, body, and soul.” Your head shifted and you got up a bit, you moved so close to his lips. When you weren’t talking, all he could hear was the beating of his heart. “Never betray my love, Alastor.”
A sweet moment where you two shared a kiss. Finally.
“Yes. Of course. Absolutely. My Darling Love.”
You were all his to call Love.

Note: Surprise!!! We really never had a part that's dedicated to Alastor, so here's one. I think it's a bit rushed at the end or lack of details, but those are mostly covered in the parts before this. Hope you guys liked this one~
Oh right! If you haven't please vote on what will happen next here. There might be one more part before it gets to that. Idk the progress.
*For the people that haven't got a reply to this series' requests; 2 possibilities: either I need time writing them or they would be included in future parts and I don't want to spoil them as trivia~

You Really Thought You Could Just Take Them From Me?
(Vox Edition)
(Vox x GN!Reader)
Author's Note: Bruh I was just gonna do this neat little idea of how some of the Hazbin guys react to someone kidnapping their S/O. It was just gonna be some headcanons, and then I was like ooo some headcanons and a tiny imagine. And then I did this because I was having fun and kept writing. So I'll probably just give everyone their own separate post since it ended up being longer than I anticipated haha. The others I'll do this scenario for are Alastor, Lucifer, and Zestial because I adore him and there isn't much of him. I'm open to others as well if anyone wants!
Tags: Violence, possessive Vox, I just enjoy writing possessive and protective people okay??? And I think you all do too since the other one I wrote that you guys liked he literally electrocuted someone to death for his S/O lol

Vox
Is annoyed at first when you don't show up to your scheduled date.
He's an incredibly busy man and you both know that and he does his best to make time for you so you don't usually miss these.
Once he remembers how unusual this is for you his annoyance turns to worry.
You really wouldn't miss one of these unless it was something serious, right?
His panic starts slow and builds itself into a crescendo over time, even as he tries to calm himself and tell himself everything is okay even as his repeated calls go to voicemail.
With each successive voicemail left, the pit in his stomach grows larger and heavier.
It isn't much longer after that before he zaps himself away through one of his cameras, almost instantaneously zipping through the electric network to bring himself back into his office.
He ignores Velvette's question of why he's back so soon, single mindedly focused now.
As soon as he's sitting down and plugged in he's scouring every camera he has access to, going back to find your last known location.
His panic just rises the longer it goes before he finally catches sight of the back of your head and then the air leaves his lungs entirely. He hadn't even realized how dizzy he was becoming from holding his breath, or even that he was.
He eyes you now, looking for what happened. At this point he's almost praying you accidentally blew him off because it would mean you were safe.
But he is in Hell, and there is no God that would listen to his prayers down here.
Vox is tapping his foot impatiently and checking his watch for what feels like the hundredth time as he sits and waits for you.
You were so late. You knew he was busy, that these pockets of time he carved out for you were hard to come by. How could you possibly think to blow him off, of all people?! You've never done that before!
And then the jiggling of his foot stops, a realization dawning on him. You...hadn't ever done this before. Not in all the many many dates and rendezvous you've had. You... probably wouldn't miss this unless there was something serious happening. But then he's shaking his head and trying to rationalize it, not wanting to immediately go nuclear like Valentino would and then end up being embarrassed when you show up five minutes later. He calls you then, the profile picture of you blowing him a kiss appearing on his screen as the dialing starts. He raps his claws against the table as he impatiently waits for you to pick up.
But you don't pick up. He's trying to ensure he doesn't sound desperate and he hopes he keeps his voice level enough to not betray that he is beginning to get worried over you, again it would be embarrassing to get that worked up and you just got held up by something mundane.
"Hey Dollface, it's me. I hope you haven't forgotten our little lunch date? I was really excited to see you after a pretty boring morning. Call me."
He keeps it simple, like he's simply reminding you before he hangs up, like he isn't really that bothered. He takes a deep breath and leans back in his chair in the restaurant, trying to keep those paranoid thoughts at bay even as they gnaw at him.
Another five minutes and he's calling again. He doesn't hide his panic as well as he did the first time.
"Hello love, it's me again. Can you just...at least message me or call me so I know you're okay and just running late?" He finishes before shooting you off a text as well in case you couldn't pick up the phone but could text him.
But not even that works, and he's growling in frustration now. He swears if you don't answer this next call he's going to lose it, but even it goes to voicemail and he can't push the panic back anymore as he leaves one last voicemail, raising his voice loud enough for other nearby tables to hear.
"Okay. Look, I'm going to be honest with you. If I don't get a call or text back in five fucking minutes so I know you're on your way I'm tearing this entire fucking city apart until I find you."
To anyone around him this would sound almost like a threat, but if you had heard it you would know it was a promise of safety.
He waits until precisely five minutes pass, on the dot, and then he morphs himself into electricity, zipping his way through the electric network to get back to VoxTek.
He's so worried now he doesn't even register Velvette asking why he's back so early, and jokingly asking if you two had a spat. But she sees the look on his face and his silence, and it's enough of an indicator to leave it be, whatever this is. So she returns to her phone as she watches Vox go further in. She wasn't going to get involved in whatever mess this was unless needed.
He's plugged in before he's even sitting down fully in his chair, screens lighting up of views across the city and he's searching now. He starts with the route from the place you mentioned wanting to go to this morning to the location of the lunch date, reviewing footage to find something.
Finally, finally he catches sight of the back of your head, exhaling so hard it almost makes him dizzy. He hadn't even realized he had been holding his breathe.
He zeroes in on you now, looking to see what went wrong. You're walking fast and checking your phone, and he checks the timestamp and sees it is fairly close to when your date was scheduled. He feels relieved, but almost stupid with his over reaction. He actually drags his hand down his face in sheer embarrassment, his screen tinted pink along the center line. You were just running late. He's about to unplug and head back to the restaurant when he sees you duck down an alley for a shortcut.
He switches to another camera, that has a slightly better view of the alley just to ensure you did indeed make it back safely, and sees you run face first into the back of someone because you were checking the time again, so intent on making your way to him on time. You run into them so hard that they stumble forward and fall and you do too.
Vox can't pick up the sound clearly enough from this far, but he can tell you're apologizing but this demon doesn't seem to care. He's immediately grabbing your arms and trying to drag you along with him, you fighting every step of the way.
Vox didn't know what he was dragging you off to do but it doesn't matter. Either way this man can count the hours he had left to live on one hand. He makes the footage fast forward and follows along with his cameras until he sees the two of you enter a building.
Fucking finally, a lead.
He rips the cables out so unceremoniously fast that it hurts a moment, a pain dulled by the adrenaline he's feeling, and then he's zapping himself again to the camera he had closest to the building.
His worry had turned to anger, palpable to those around him from the errant sparks that bounced off the sidewalk with each step he took. Everyone in his way made sure to give him a wide berth, not wanting to get caught in the crossfire of the war path he was clearly on.
He doesn't bother knocking, pushing the front door of said building in with sheer brute force. Perks of being a powerful overlord. He's stronger than he looks.
You're so close he's sure of it. The static electricity in the air is almost crackling as he begins to walk through the building, listening for any sound of you. When he hears none, he speaks.
"I ฿ɆⱠłɆVɆ you have ₴-₴Ø₥Ɇ₮Ⱨł₦₲ of ₥ł₦Ɇ." He almost bellows, voice glitching out heavily as he announced himself, hopefully so you could hear and alert him. But also to serve as a final warning for this demon that their time was coming. He's holding his breath as he listens, before he hears it.
A few loud and rapid thuds, almost like a fist banging on a wall, and he's focused on it like a hawk now, pace picking up as he makes his way to the room he's sure he heard it come from and then he finally hears the idiot's voice in a desperate heated whisper.
"Be quiet or he'll find me you stupid fuckin-"
. L̢̛͉͉̠̹̠ͭͦ͐ͧ̄̓̋̕͢͡͞_̸ͤE͚̦̻̪ͨ͑̄́T̴.̝͕̫̯̈́̅_̩͙̬̣̫̲ͯ̂̂̈̓ͩͨ̚͟ͅ T̥͖̑̎͝H̜̑͂́̚_͔̳͚̿̈́͒̾͟E̸̜͎̰̗ͭ̉̉͌ͧ͌̂̊ͬ͜M͉͖̙̓͆̆ͧ̿̏͋ͨ.̈́̅ G̶̡͓̰͚̭̖̈́̎ͩ̎͜͡͞Ȯ͔̠͈͔̉̄́ͤ͒́_̤͈͗.̨̣ͧ̀̃͞" -
The glitches and intimidating aspect to his voice are not intentional this time as the blue hue from his face lights up the scene before him, the hue of his screen quickly bursting into a brilliant shade of red, casting you both in a different light. This disgusting idiot's hands were on you, one covering your mouth to keep you from screaming.
The man lets you go like you're made of hot coals, and knowing he would not win this fight, attempts to run past Vox to try and escape.
But Vox is not letting this go. Not with how worried he had been, not with how this scum thought they could put their hands on his lover. Grabbing the man's arm hard enough to stop him in his tracks without barely even turning, electricity shoots through him enough to temporarily paralyze him.
But not kill him.
Oh no.
He had better plans.
With the immediate threat extinguished for now, he drops the now limp arm, letting it fall carelessly to the ground. He approaches you then, you already meeting him halfway to throw your arms around him. He can feel the sparks still coming off his body begin to fade away as you do though, his screen turning from red back to its normal blue. If the sparks hurt you, you don't say anything.
"Are you okay?" He asks, wrapping his arms around you and picking you up so you could sit on one arm and wrap your hands around his neck more easily, which you do eagerly, curling up into him seeking comfort he is more than happy to provide.
"...Y-yeah." Your voice is shakey so he knows you're trying to put on a brave face.
He's shooting off a text to a bodyguard at VoxTek and giving the coordinates of where they are as he figures out what his next course of action will be. He didn't want to leave you unattended, but it seems he needed to put this fool in their place as well.
"How about this sweetheart, I've got someone coming to escort you to the restaurant, you place a to go order for us, and bring it back to my office and we can have our lunch date there." He offers in such a sweet voice it almost gives you whiplash to hear his voice change from how he spoke to the sinner before to this intentionally charming and sweet voice. He is still keeping you close as he eventually settles on a solution. He feels your arms grip him more tightly at the suggestion of him leaving you, even if it is with a bodyguard and he can already predict your question before you ask it.
"What about you? Why can't you take me?" You sound scared still even though you're trying not to and he squeezes you slightly in a way he hopes comforts you.
"I plan to take my time showing this sinner what happens when someone messes with what is m̥̲͓̫ͪ͆́ͫ̔̈͆́i̶̶ͫn̶̷̡̨̩̱̟̐̀̐̄͑ͤ͢e̷ͣ_̑͠." His voice takes on that threatening edge towards the end before he clears his throat, charismatic persona beginning to fall back into place once more.
"You just get whatever you want and I'll be there soon Dollface. I've already rescheduled my next two meetings, so I'll have time to teach him a lesson and have lunch with you." He kisses your forehead, only letting you down once you agree and seem okay with it. He would have to text his assistant on the way back to reschedule those meetings, he thinks to himself.
This way he could take his time with this sinner who deserves much more than a quick and easy electrocution death, and then take the time to enjoy the lunch he was supposed to have with you.
He takes a deep breath now, now that he has you safe and a plan to enact. Everything was back to normal and within his control like it should be. And this sinner? This sinner he would make an example of, to ensure no one else is stupid enough to try this again. It's been a bit since he's really gotten to enjoy his more sadistic tendencies, and this was the perfect opportunity.

Lute x Fem! Reader Part 2
Part 2 of Lute x Sinner Reader story yaaaay
Over the last few months, the hotel has been in what you can only describe as organized chaos. The hotel gained a new resident in Sir Pentious who was a spy for the Vee’s and then wasn’t or something. Charlie reassured you constantly that Pentious was not working for the Vee’s anymore and you had nothing to worry about.
But those sick fucks have been chasing you for longer than any of the other overlords so you’d rather be more safe than sorry. 
After that particular event, you started to feel less safe in the hotel. 
You heard Vox, he tried to infiltrate the only place where you’ve felt safe since you got to the literal hell hole and he tried to send in a fucking spy who Charlie just let walk in instantly after he had attacked the hotel twice.
Who knows what would have happened to you….all of you if Angel Dust hadn’t seen him planting those stupid cameras? 
You love Charlie, she’s nice and she gave you a place to stay. Being mad at her is like being mad at a puppy but all you could keep thinking about for the rest of the month was wondering if Vox saw you.
If the Vee’s know where you are.
If they’ll come looking for you.
What they might do to you if they do catch you.
You had a close call with Velvette one time and one time was enough for the rest of your afterlife. Bitch tried to color-match your fucking fur! You’re pretty sure the only reason you got away was because she was drunk off her British ass.
Vaggie could tell right away that there was something wrong with you and tried to reassure you.
“He didn’t see you Chesh”
She whispered approaching you slowly. 
“You don’t know that boss! What if he did? He could be on his way right now with the other two and he already beat the radio demon once! I need to lea-”
Vaggie cut off your rant by placing her hand on your shoulder gently and pushing you down to sit on the couch.
“Charlie and I wouldn’t let anything happen to you. We promised when you started staying here that we’d keep you safe and we will. You don’t need to run.”
“Thanks, boss… I’m sorry for freaking out. It just really shook me up, I guess.”
You mumbled out, blushing at how pathetic you sound. 
You may not remember much about your life but you’re pretty sure you died sometime in your 20’s. Yet here you are whimpering pathetically and having to get comforted over a fucking video camera. 
After that incident you became more jumpy, every sound put you on edge, and it was worse whenever you were around any form of technology that didn’t look like it was from before the 1980s.
The others tried their best to calm you down in their own ways. Angel Dust started leaving his phone in his room because you’d flinch every time he got a text or phone call from Valentino. 
“Don’t make a big deal outa it, he was annoying me too.”
Husk would keep your favorite booze on standby at all times, when you’d thank him he’d simply grin at you and say, 
“Us feline demons got to stick together.”
Alastor was happy to throw out any and every piece of technology that would make you tense up even slightly, which included most of Pentious’ weapons and very nearly his airship. 
He obviously wasn’t doing it for you but it still felt nice.
“Don’t worry my friend! I’ll happily get rid of these infernal contraptions! I’ve always believed they lacked class anyway.”
Pentious recognized his part in your new-found anxiety and tried to gain your trust by handing his machines to Alastor with many, many, many tears.
“I am more than happy to…give up my arsenal as an apology for invading your persssssonal boundariessss.” He’d hissed out while trying to hold his tears back.
You couldn’t really be mad at him after that.
Nifty even volunteered to go out and ‘hunt phones’ for you.
You said no but that didn’t stop her from bringing you the….remains of some people’s phones.
 “Sometimes I kill mother phones in front of their children as a warning to the other phones!”
“Niffty phones don’t have mothers.”
“Hehe, not anymore…”
Charlie was actually very happy to see how the others stepped in to help you and she was very proud of them even if their methods were…unorthodox.
But that lead her into a spiral. She was desperately trying to figure out why the hotel wasn’t working even though everybody showed considerable improvement.
This leads to her talking with her dad, which somehow leads to you being here in heaven.
“Um, boss why exactly am I here?”
You ask Vaggie nervously, glancing around at the pastel clouds around you. God you haven’t seen pastels in years.
Vaggie looks over at you and sighs, “Well Charlie figured you wouldn’t want to go out with the others and you wouldn’t like to stay in the hotel alone so this was the best option.”
You nod, understanding her point but on the other hand.
“And the…exorcists?”
Vaggie’s shoulders tense for a moment before she looks away from you and mumbles, “I have a feeling they won’t do anything even if we do run into them.”
You want to ask more questions but decide against it, today was stressful enough as it is without you asking stupid questions. 
“Whatever you say, boss.”
You whisper following behind Vaggie and Charlie as they enter the gates of heaven after another fucking song. 
Is it just you? Are you the weird one? Should you be singing more often?
The three of you follow behind the two seraphim, Emily and Sera, while they give you a tour of heaven. Charlie looks completely enamored by the place but Vaggie looks annoyed, as if the pastel clouds had offended her personally.
And you…well honestly you feel a little underwhelmed.
Heaven looks like a glorified mall so far, a mall with strippers because there are way more people walking around shirtless than you thought there would be. 
So you keep trailing behind Vaggie, Charlie, and the angels when you see someone who looks familiar.
She’s a cat demon like you, same color pallet and everything, except she seems much shorter and has a pair of pastel-blue angel wings coming out of her back.
You end up drifting away from the group and start following the small cat angel through the crowds. 
Eventually, you get close enough to reach out and tap her but when you’re about to get her attention you feel a firm hand on your shoulder and you get pulled away roughly and pinned to one of the walls.
You’re completely disoriented for a moment and then you hear a familiar annoying voice.
“Well, well, well look what the cat dragged in.”
You look up to see Adam and Lute, Adam has a wide smirk on his face and Lute looks….wow.
She’s not wearing her helmet so this time you get to admire her completely.
You’d probably be happier about her pinning you to a wall if she wasn’t also holding a giant spear to your neck.
Then again…-
Yeah, it’s still pretty hot.

Ur blog srsly brings us the vees polycule we needed. Do you have any angsty hcs 👀
I am glad to bring it! As a poly person myself I was very upset the Vees aren't canonically poly, I was so excited for the rep
As always your wish is my command but careful what you wish for~
Valentino has hit Vox with the glass cups he throws before, it shattered Vox's screen because of the force and Valentino completely panicked. He vowed to never throw things again but being Val it didn't last very long, he's now hyper aware of when he throws something near Vox so it doesn't hit him. While Vox usually sidesteps to move further away from the impact point he knows if he stayed put it wouldn't have hit him.
Velvette once forgot about the extermination and went out to get something an hour before it started, she got caught up in the extermination and got badly hurt. Thankfully the boys were there to protect her and get her back to the safety of the tower.
Vox had also been hurt badly that night because he stalled for time so Valentino could get Velvette back to the tower, Velvette felt so guilty after that, she knows her stupid mistake could have gotten them all killed.
Vox has serious insecurity issues but he rarely talks about them to his partners despite how much they want him to open up, he's worried if he does they'll realize he's not worth their time.
Velvette has scars on her thighs from a particularly bad ex she had when she first got to hell, the boys asked about them only once but when she quickly shut down all questions about it and practically bolted from the room they mutually understood they were never going to ask her about it again. If she wants to tell them she will.
Vox has a nasty scar that runs down his back, Valentino and Velvette assume it's from Alastor but they have no confirmation or denial, Vox keeps it hidden as often as he can.
Val has several scars across his midsection, he's told the others where they came from and the three of them will take the secret to their second graves.
Vox has a special technician he pays a lot to deal with his electrical components including the bigger shit like having to replace his screen or in rare cases of severe damage his whole TV needs to be replaced (tho sometimes it is replaced for upgrades).
He's scared he has to leave his fate in someones hands like this but he doesn't have any other choice. He refuses to let Velvette and Valentino in while his technician is working on him. He feels vulnerable enough during this without them witnessing it.
Vox doesn't tell the others if he's not feeling well, he usually locks himself up and tries to deal with it himself, if it ends up being a problem for his technician he calls them, but if its not he tries to deal with it himself without the other Vees finding out.
Velvette has deep self hatred issues, she's always trying to dress better, look better, be better, but it's never enough for her. The boys try their best to show her that she's more than enough, sometimes she believes them, most of the time she doesn't.
When one of the others is hurt the other will be by the bedside keeping an eye on them. Vox will usually be trying to keep things in all of their departments running while the other one deals with the one who is hurt, it's easier for him to bury himself in work than to worry himself sick.
If Vox himself is hurt Val and Velvette will shut the whole damn tower down and sit with him.
Vox made Valentino cry once, he can't even remember what he did to accomplish it but it freaked him out so badly, he never thought he'd see the moth cry and it was definitely a "NOPE! NEVER AGAIN!!!" moment for him.
Vox and Velvette both struggle to talk about serious matters when it comes to the relationship, Val is just much more open.
Velvette doesn't usually have an issue asking to be held when she's feeling like she isn't enough, but Vox struggles hard, very often unable to ask even for a simple hug because he doesn't feel like he deserves it.
Valentino has severe abandonment issues. He really hates being alone in the penthouse so if the others are working he's usually down in the studio bothering some of his employees for random reasons just to keep from being alone.
Valentino always worries that he's too clingy and that the others hate it. Actually they love that he's clingy and snuggly, they tell him that often, he doesn't always believe them.
They each have their own way to calm the others down. Vox will calmly talk them down, Velvette will give soft touches and hugs, and Valentino will use his wings as weighted blankets and allow the others to play with the fluff at the edges of his wings until they're calm.
Alrighty that's all I got, hope you like it!
As always if you want more please let me know!

Dark found family
(3 am brainrot got to me please help)
we’ve established that Charlie kinda does figure out that this is wrong and stuff, and there’s a fairy tale quest with the overlords getting all the keys throughout hell. And the overlords get to the hotel and each and every one of the hotel gang (Angel Dust, Vaggie, Husk, Niffty) just gives up their key because they know that this is WRONG. What if Charlie does the same thing and that’s what gets the overlords to kinda sorta forgive her. (But then they did an entire quest for nothing! NOTHING!) cue song apology (this is actually a recap of all their (Charlie and Lucifer’s) war crimes) (I feel this would be cannon for Charlie) (maybe not) so yeah. They go to the DOOR™️ and instead of inserting all the keys together because that would take a while and time is of the essence, they do Charlie’s instead. Because the DOOR™️ was probably made by Lucifer, and he’s probably (most likely) want to know if it was being opened with a key. So he has this feature where the DOOR™️ tells him if it’s being open, and if so, who’s key? Well, he’d definitely gonna know if the overlords are there cause who else is gonna use 20 different keys to open the DOOR™️??? Not him or Charlie! SO ANYWAYS (I’m getting off track ;-;) they use Charlie’s key cause A) it’s faster B) “Charlie” (the rescue group) visiting alastor is most likely normal behavior for her so Lucifer wouldn’t really suspect it.
So they enter the room and I see like three options here:
A) Alastor isn’t there.
Lucifer figured it out somehow (I don’t know how yet) and took Alastor away, probably to the royal palace to the ROOM™️ of that one ask where Lucifer takes Alastor to a room without windows or doors and there was a pantry with all the food he needs and the ceiling of the ROOM™️ is a false sky. ANYWAYS main takeaways here is that Lucifer knows, took Alastor away, and there is big boss fight right here right now. I don’t think they would win, so either Charlie talks him out of his decision or she doesn’t. Either way, people get hurt, just a matter of whether Charlie can convince Lucifer to let them live. (He’s killing them all for the crime of trying to take away his Alastor) (gods that felt wrong to type) I don’t think Lucifer would kill Charlie though, she’s a part of his family (family in italics to show importance) he would kill the overlords and anyone else tho. (Didn’t I already kinda allude to that?)
B) Alastor is there.
They see Alastor and it’s really heart breaking how detached he is, he probably doesn’t even realize they’re there (I don’t know anything about severe mental catonia) (is that how you spell it???) ANYWAYS (I’m so off track) perhaps there is an arguement with Charlie because while they knew what was happening, (maybe they didn’t know the full extent, after all, they only know that Alastor hasn’t been out in a while, and whatever Vox can scrape up in that one ask where he calls an overlord meeting with a giant cork board with red yarn and ANYWAYS) it’s different seeing it up close. I think they might spend valuable time arguing (mainly just everyone going after Charlie and Charlie doesn’t really have anything to defend herself) until someone stops them. (probably Zestial or Carmilla, they are maybe most likely to keep a level head in this situation, but then again, they really cared about Alastor, and I think this would break them to see him this way) They stop the arguing (verbal attack) against Charlie because they don’t have a lot of time and they should be using it getting Alastor out of here. I think they (those who can) try to teleport out but they can’t because Lucifer knows that they are there by now (the arguing was so loud, and he’s not the type to leave his beloved alone for long (possessiveness)) and did some sort of magical magic spell. Cue fight. (Look up at A) Alastor is not there for details).
C). Alastor is dead.
they were too late in trying to get to him and they see his dead body just lying there.

and love will bring us freedom
Making my own Uncle Ozzie content with this next short story.
(Part 1 of 3) (Ao3 Link)
Rating: M
Characters: Alastor, Charlie Morningstar, Vaggie, Angel Dust, Husk, Cherri Bomb, Niffty Non-Physical Appearance: Fizzarolli, Mammon, Ozzie Mentioned: Lucifer Morningstar
Warnings: Assumed incest (it isn't), canon-typical language, implied child/teen abuse, discussion of past major character injury.
Word Count: 2024
Alastor raised an eyebrow as he peered over the banister. Much like when Lucifer had first visited, the hotel was in quite the tizzy. Perhaps a little less so than that wretched day – today’s frenetic energy seemed to only be affecting Charlie and her darling. He watched silently for a moment, as was his wont; not for long though.
Charlie was carrying one of those horrific picture boxes, and that just wouldn’t do.
Alastor stepped back into his shadow, re-materializing next to Vaggie. Vaggie didn’t notice him at first (she rarely did; it was quite rude), so he cleared his throat. She jumped, and Alastor yanked his arm back before she could grab onto it – her stress-gripping was only amusing if it wasn’t him she was doing it to; he had no desire to have a short-tempered angel clinging to him for upwards of ten minutes, no thank you.
“I wasn’t aware there was... another one of those noisy picture boxes in the hotel,” he said after enduring Vaggie’s (frankly adorable) glare for long enough.
“We put in storage after someone,” here, she shot him another sour look, “destroyed the one in the living area.”
“My dear, I couldn’t leave such a threat unattended,” Alastor said. “After all, Vox is quite capable of using any of those devices to infiltrate an area. Why, I ought to do my duty as guardian of this hotel-”
Charlie set the picture box down with a very solid thunk, cutting him off mid-sentence. She wiped her hands off on her pant legs (disgusting, he needed to teach her the importance of image lest she tarnish his own by behaving so boorishly in public). She straightened up, hands on her hips as she surveyed the room.
“It’s okay, Al,” Charlie said, coming over and slinging an arm over Vaggie’s shoulders. “That tv was made down in Envy; Vox won’t be able to use it. You did a great job setting things up, babe,” she added, kissing Vaggie’s forehead.
Disgusting. Alastor turned away from the public display, instead walking over to the picture box. He examined it carefully, looking for any of the telltale marks of a machine created for sinners. Nothing stood out to him – the logo was of a company he had never heard tell of; not even as one crushed under VoxTek’s heel. The screen was (unfortunately) of much better make than the usual garbage that the Pride ring had access to. He rapped it once, sharply, with his staff.
Nothing. No power resonated back at him, not like the first television. It was, as Charlie said, completely unusable to him – and, therefore, Vox. He sighed – there would be no ridding himself of this picture box the same way he had the last. Unfortunate, truly. Perhaps he could entice Niffty into ruining the screen at some point in her pest control pursuits.
Charlie and Vaggie approached his back, so he turned to face them. “It is as you say, my dear,” he told Charlie. “May I ask why you are only bringing it out now, however? I know Angel Dust has been bemoaning the lack of... entertainment ever since I rid us of the first one.”
Charlie beamed at him. “My cousin is going to be on today,” she said excitedly, grabbing onto his hand. “He’s won every year, of course, ‘cause Fizz is the best at being a clown, but I still like watching him perform!”
“I... see,” Alastor said, extracting his hand after waiting a moment to see if she would let go on her own.
Vaggie made a sound a little bit like snnrk. “Her cousin is famous,” she said, entirely unhelpful.
“Who’s her cousin?” Angel Dust called from the bar, where he and Husker had been watching the girls run around. “Maybe I’ve heard of him.”
Charlie darted over to the bar, practically bouncing on her toes. “His name’s Fizzarolli! He’s the best jester in Hell!”
Angel Dust shrugged. “Neva heard of him.”
Vaggie sighed, following after Charlie and tugging her back just a bit. Alastor followed – he was loath to miss out on learning more about anyone. Husker was already pouring him a drink when he took a seat, the good man.
“He’s popular with hellborn,” Vaggie said. “Pretty much everyone owns a robo-fizz at some point.”
Charlie muttered something under her breath, scowling. Alastor barely resisted turning his ears towards her.
“What was that, dear?” he asked instead.
Charlie looked up, eyes wide and – perhaps guilty? Hm. Curiouser and curiouser, Alastor made a mental note to reteach her the importance of a smile.
“Oh, I just...” she mumbled. “I don’t like the robo-fizzes, is all. They don’t compare, y’know?”
He kindly let the lie pass. If Charlie didn’t wish to repeat herself, it was most likely mean-spirited. Good to see that the girl hadn’t lost her spine during the assault on the hotel, though he would have to work with her on lying successfully. Charlie wearing her heart on her sleeve had been cute, at first, but with the Vees showing interest... no, best not to let it continue.
“Wait,” Husker said. “Ain’t Fizza-whatever the name of your uncle’s boyfriend?”
“Oh, they’re the same person,” Charlie said.
Angel Dust spat out his drink – Alastor quickly covered his own, though he understood the sentiment. Perhaps it was different for hellborn demons? It wouldn’t surprise him that incest was less taboo. It was Hell, after all.
“Your uncle’s fucking your cousin?” Cherri Bomb shouted from the top of the staircase, skipping them altogether by sliding down the rail instead. “Now this I gotta hear!”
“What?” Charlie asked, frowning in confusion. Vaggie whispered something to her; a blush quickly overtook Charlie’s face. “Oh! No, no, it’s not- no. Not like that! My uncle, Mammon-”
Alastor thought he caught a faint undertone of dislike in the way Charlie said her uncle’s name. Interesting; interesting enough to get him fully paying attention again.
“- he adopted Fizz after an... accident at Fizz’s old job, or took custody? I was never really clear on that- anyway, not important! Mammon, he, uh, he was kinda Fizz’s guardian? Father figure? When Fizz was a teenager. We hung out a lot, cause – haha, it’s really hard to make friends when your father is a deadly sin or the king of hell, y’know?”
Charlie didn’t want to talk about this. Thinking about Mammon and Fizz always made her feel... bad. She had missed Fizz so much when Mammon decided to take him away... meeting him again as an adult had been great, even though he was so much older than her now.
“Anyway, we uh. Fell out of contact? When Fizz was old enough to go work for Mammon properly-”
“-wait wait wait,” Angel said, holding his upper hands in a t. “I thought you said Mammon was Fizz’s guardian, not his boss.”
Charlie scratched her forehead, where her horns usually came out. “It’s... a bit of both? The only reason Mammon took custody of Fizz at all was because he won a contest to become Mammon’s next big thing before the accident. Everyone already knew about him, so Mammon couldn’t back out without looking real bad, so he paid for Fizz’s hospital stay-”
“Whoa, hang on, hospital?” Cherri said, knocking back a shot of whatever Husk slid her. “Charlie, man, you’re cuttin’ off half the story!”
Charlie laughed nervously, holding up her hands. “It’s not really – I don’t know what happened, I just know he was in the hospital for a while after an accident at his old circus-”
Alastor cleared his throat. “My dear, if you’re going to lie, you should learn to do it well. You know more than you’re telling us.”
“It’s not – Fizz doesn’t like talking about it, okay?” she said. “I’m not – I’m not gonna talk about it without permission. Please stop asking, guys.”
“But-” Cherri started, only for Niffty to kick her in the shin. “Ow! You little shit, what the fuck was that for?!”
“I want to hear more about the bad boy!” Niffty said, giggling in her way.
“Fizz isn’t really a bad boy-”
“Not him!” Niffty shouted. “Mammon! Tell me more about Mammon!”
It shouldn’t surprise her that Niffty wanted to hear more about Mammon – he really was just... the worst, exactly Niffty’s type, but it did. It also made something heavy settle in her stomach – with even Niffty hanging on to her words, there was no getting out of talking about... everything.
“Can you guys stop cutting Charlie off,” Vaggie snapped, wrapping an arm snugly around her waist. “She doesn’t like talking about this!”
Charlie placed a hand on Vaggie’s shoulder, offering a small smile when Vaggie looked up at her. “It’s okay, Vaggie. They’re just curious,” she said softly. She looked back at the group sat at the bar, sighing. “Though Vaggie’s right. I don’t like talking about this. Can we try to keep our questions until the end? Please?”
Alastor barely reacted, though both Angel and Cherri looked a little contrite. Husk busied himself with wiping down a glass, not looking at her; Niffty couldn’t seem to stop looking at her. About what she expected, honestly. Nobody said anything for a moment – two – before Charlie started talking again,
“Okay. Anyway, where was I? Right, so. Mammon adopted Fizz, probably so he wouldn’t get hurt at the old circus before he could start working for him? Either way, Fizz lived with Mammon and we were friends for a while. We fell out of contact – wait, I’ve already said this, right? Right, okay, hang on.
Fizz started working for Mammon when he was of age, and we fell out of contact. I still make sure to watch all his broadcasted performances, even though we couldn’t see each other, cause Fizz was a really good performer. Anyway, skip... a few years? Six, maybe? And my other uncle, Ozzie, he’s got a new employee that he wants me to meet, so I go down to Lust and it’s – Fizz was there. Fizz was working for Ozzie, had asked about me – Ozzie wanted to know how we knew each other, ‘cause all he really knew was that Fizz was Mammon’s star; he got, uh. Really mad. At Mammon, I mean. It was this whole thing...”
Charlie paused to finally take a breath, rubbing the back of her neck. “I don’t really know how Fizz and Ozzie started dating. One day, they were employee and boss – Ozzie had Fizz host at his nightclub, nothing too big – the next Ozzie was “introducing” me to his boyfriend. Er, he didn’t call Fizz that yet, though. Sin of Lust and all, it would... not be great, for him or Fizz, if there were feelings involved. If it got out.”
Husk raised his hand, waiting until she gestured at him to speak. “If it’d be bad for that to get out, why’re you tellin’ us?” he asked.
“Good question!” she said. “It’s uh, a bit of an open secret, now. There’ll be an article every so often, haha, calling Fizz a gold digger or Ozzie a hypocrite... Ozzie doesn’t really care, anymore, and he makes sure Fizz doesn’t see the ones about him... eight years is a long time to spend worrying about that sort of stuff.”
Charlie’s interrupted by her phone chiming in her pocket. She gasped, rushing over to the television and turning it to Greed’s network. “It’s starting, everyone shut up!”
She hopped up onto the couch, crossing her legs as Vaggie came to join her. It was still the pre-show – Charlie tried not to get too angry at the robo-fizz advertisements, instead distracting herself by watching the others come over and find spots to sit as well.
“You guys don’t have to watch,” she said. “It’s okay, I know it’s not for everyone.”
Angel shrugged from his spot leaning against Cherri’s shins. “Eh, you hyped up the guy so much, I wanna see him perform.”
Charlie beamed as even Alastor came over, taking his customary seat in the armchair by the fire. “You guys...” she said. “I love you guys.”
“Sh!” Cherri said. “It’s starting!”

Hazbin Episode 2 Review
As usual, here is the swear count:
Fuck - 25
Shit - 9
Bitch/ Hoe/ Whore/ Slut/ Bimbo - 12
Damn - 1
Ass - 1
Cock/Dick - 1
Porn/Sex - 1
Tits/Boobs - 0
Pussy/Vagina/ Cunt - 0
Piss - 2
Now onto spoilers under the break!
The Good:
We got a lot more Alastor this episode and I love him so much. Getting to see how he uses his dark magic, completely wiping the floor with Pentius and not even paying him the time of day to acknowledge him. Alastor’s cruel side coming out on display as he toys with Pentius before ultimately tossing him away like nothing. Really helped show that Alastor has that power like none other, like we saw in the pilot.
One thing I especially love about the scenes of Alastor and Pentius is how petty Alastor can get. How even the smallest rip of his suit coat got him so mad he let out a deer noise (which I think was a neat touch.)
This episode ultimately is just an introduction to the V’s but Alastor steals the spotlight. How you really can tell that he hates the V’s, and especially Vox.
Speaking of who had hypnotic powers (and so does Pentius seemingly) and it would be interesting to explore that more.
Ultimately you really get the sense that the V’s are the outcasts of the Overlords because they’re just total jerks all together, and not so much that they’re powerful like Alastor is. Also Status Quo had a good song transition both start and finish and is a pretty alright song.
Seeing how creepy Alastor got at the end was also a blessing.
Other than that?
I still love Nifty and how she got upset at Pentius trying to be a better person and also we got to see Fat Nuggets. So hurray!
Okay now onto
The Bad:
The overall pacing of this episode was kinda weird? Like it starts off with Pentius, then moves onto the V’s, and then back to Pentius and for the V introduction episode, it felt like that they didn’t get much screen time.
A few minutes on their own, Velvette barely getting any, Val being there only like 3 times, and Vox basically gets his butt kicked around by Alastor without much tension.
I really do wish that there was more of a power balance thing going on and I know that’s kinda weird to say given how Helluva arguably was pretty forward on the pecking order. Imagine three Overlords all having powers near equal to Alastor, that would raise the stakes as it leaves Charlie and Alastor basically being the two between the V’s and the destruction of the hotel.
Ultimately the V’s feel like Overlords only by title and not by actuality. The bark is there but no bite.
As for Pentius? Meh. His little story was alright I guess, but ultimately it more served as a way to start up Angel character development. I know I’ve thrown around the term “- is the Jaune Arc of this show” before and I want to explain that.
You know how James Gunn made Rocket the secret protagonist of the Guardian films? Take that idea and make it bad and add in a dash of misogyny if called for.
I am deeply afraid that Angel will be taking up more screen time than Charlie and will ultimately take over her spot as the protagonist. Which begs the question, why wasn’t Angel just made the protagonist up right?
Charlie is being woobified as is the case with most Viv characters, and now Angel’s focus is increasing. I got the same vibe from Fizz taking the protagonist role from Bitzø in Helluva.
Other than that? It becomes very apparent that this episode was written by Viv given the 25 fucks said during this episode, the most this far in the series. (Spoilers: E4 takes the cake for the most with 35.) Most of those fucks are spoken by Val’s brief first appearance before Status Quo. To call it excessive would be accurate.
Also let me not forget that I only count the spoken swears, and not the ones only shown. If I did, 25 would have become 30 in one frame during Vox’s news segment during the song.
Also during said segment, there is another Blitzø style drawing, which might only be irking me and no one else.
As for the song itself? I think the only downsides would be that Alastor singing about how older technology and ways of doing things are better than the new, uses terms such as “clout”, “podcast”, and “that’s the tea.”
Is this a nitpick? Sure. Does it only slightly exist out of the reasonability of Alastor’s character and how he acts and thinks? Sure. Does it still bother me like mad and make me point to it as a casual example of Viv not really knowing what she is doing with characters? Yes.
So ultimately this episode was like a 5/10. Idk, it exists I guess.

A few weeks ago I finished watching Hazbin Hotel, and I loved it! And an idea occurred to me, think about which characters from Twisted Wonderland would go to heaven and which would go to hell, and of those who went to hell, what are their roles. I say that the boys who entered Overblot could be Overlords, imagining that they all go to hell which I doubt about characters like Kalim, Jack and Ortho, but putting the scenario that everyone is in hell, the leaders would be the overlords and the other followers, type:
-Riddle: the demon of the guillotine, a broken rule, and the offender will be publicly beheaded in the district of it, all would be full of roses with thorns and it would be a place that another the same hell is crazy
-Leona: the demon of beasts, most of her followers and inhabitants of her district are beast demons and everything looks like it's the African savanna, with bones of demons and animals native to hell sticking out of the sand
-Azul: the sea demon or maybe the octopus demon or the contract demon, in their district they are all sea demons and everything has a marine theme, and they also found the most popular and elegant bar/restaurant in pentagram city
Kalim: the party demon, the truth is I can't think of a good name for Kalim, but he is known for his parties and his "kindness", but don't get carried away by his sweet words, in his district you can find the best clubs to hang out at an unforgettable night, and the parties he throws are something you can't miss, his district reminds you of the Sahara Desert
- Vil: The demon of beauty, known for its beautiful appearance but its poisonous interior, does whatever it takes to achieve its goal "to be the most beautiful", it is also in charge of the poison industry, its poisons are so effective that they are very popular, even outside of pentagram city, its district is like going back in time to the German Middle Ages
-Idia: The demon of technology [accepted suggestions for other names ( •́ω•̩̥̀ )], he is the one who provides everything that has to do with technology to hell, he is a very capable inventor and it is said that he usually works with The "VVV" and with the arms dealer Carmelia, their district is like being in ancient Greece but, much more modern, it is the district with the most technology in all of hell
-Malleus: The dragon demon, very few have seen it, or if they have seen it, they don't live to tell about it, but those lucky ones who have, say that it is imposing and terrifying, that one look at it can leave you peeing in your pants, its district is like coming to the Victorian era, the place is full of dry trees with thorns
-Yuu/Mc: a sinner who came to hell because of her stupidity, has a pet that is a native demon of hell called Grimm, and is the youngest and most recent overlord, as Alastor is helping the princess of hell with her hotel, to that his followers have the opportunity to redeem themselves and have a better life in the future.
What do you think? I couldn't get that idea out of my head since the last episode of Hazbin Hotel was released. As you can see, I'm not replacing characters from the series, that's why I'm not giving them the roles of other characters from hell. And yes, I already know that the VVV represent technology and modernity, but they have specific roles like Vox as the demon of television, Idia is directly the technology itself, so I added those from twisted wonderland, I was of making the teachers natives of hell, but in a higher rank of sinners, like the Goetia of "helluva boss", he accepted suggestions to know what kind of demon the others would be, or if they have better ideas about this
¡See you!

basically, S/o died during the extermination, but came back to life as if he hadn't actually died. But as far as we know, you definitely die from the celestial weapons, right? It should no longer exist, but it is still "alive" and runs the risk that at any moment it will simply disappear. sorry i'm brazilian and i'm not very good in english
Oh, okay, thanks for clearing this up!! You're okay! You're doing well!!
Alastor:
*When he saw you die, a piece of him die too
*He didn't leave his lodge, the one you shared
*When there was a knock on the door, he almost thought it was a hallucination
*He opened the door to see you, alive (as much as you can be in Hell) and well, he thought that was a hallucination as well
*As soon as you prove that it's really you, he takes you in his arms and collapses to the ground with you
*He's sobbing and holding you tightly, scared to let you go in case you might vanish and leave him again
*You stay like that for a while before he pulls back to look at you
*He asks what happened and you shrug
*No more questions, he doesn't want to lose this miracle
*Does keep constant watch over you now, to make sure you don't just disappear or get injured again
Rosie:
*She heard news of your extinction and didn't move from her spot
*She sat there for several hours, leaving the light on when she finally did move to go to bed
*In case you needed to see on your way in
*She's in denial, there's no way you're gone
*When it settles in the next day, she's a mess
*She didn't brush her hair or get out of her pajamas, a frown replacing her smile
*She didn't make tea, or eat, or anything
*When you walked into your shared home, calling her name, she couldn't believe it
*Her hand resting on your face with a look of shocked hope and she burst into tears
*She held you close and cried into your hair asking you what happened
*You didn't know and she didn't really care, all she needed was you right there
*She never leaves your side and keeps a closer eye on you making sure you don't leave her again
Valentino:
*He shut down when he saw your corpse stabbed through with an angel's spear
*Val fell to his knees and removed the weapon before cradling you in his arms
*Days later, he hasn't slept well, his dreams filled with nightmare of your blank face, covered in your own blood
*He hasn't showered, eaten, or even moved from the couch, where he plopped himself after he got home
*Feels so lost without you
*You walk into the house, clean and "alive" and he just looks at you with dark circles under his eyes and his mouth open slightly
*He's over to you in seconds, looking you over and holding you and kissing you and telling you he missed you
*Never lets you too far out of his sight after that, he can't stand to lose you
Velvet:
*Full on ugly crying, she's sobbing and wailing in the street, holding your body
*She won't let anyone touch you
*It takes both Vox and Val to pull her away from your corpse and even then, she's still sobbing and fighting to get back to you
*She doesn't stop crying and eventually falls asleep
*The next few days, she's not smiling, not eating, nothing
*When you walk in through the door, she hardly has any reaction, thinking she's dreaming again
*You prove that you're real and she doesn't ask questions
*She doesn't do anything but hold you and quietly sob into the crook of your neck
*She never leaves your side, she has to make sure you're okay and still there
*No one is allowed to touch you for at least a month without being torn to shreds
Vox:
*He shuts down, literally
*He doesn't see a point in continuing without you
*He saw your body and just went home, crawled in bed and turned his power off
*You'd have to power him back up when you got back
*When he sees you, standing, not pierced through with an angelic weapon, he's convinced that you dying was a nightmare
*He holds you close and you two just snuggle in bed while he relishes your touch and the feel of your undead heartbeat against his
*Someone mentions how you came back to life and he's distraught
*But that's not possible! They must be lying
*He asks you about it and realizes that there was no nightmare and that you're back
*Will get quiet for few minutes and then just hold you for the rest of the day
*Thanks whatever brought you back to him and promises to himself that he's going to cherish you for the rest of eternity

Imaginary - Chapter 8
Tumblr media
Rating: Mature for this chapter, but Explicit in future chapters
Pairing: Alastor x Fem!Reader
Summary: A mysterious device throws you into the animated world of Hazbin Hotel. Once an average human living in a three-dimensional world, you’re now transformed into a two-dimensional human that has been cast into Hell. Pentagram City’s residents are curious and most harbor ill-will towards you. Charlie and the staff of the Happy Hotel take you in and offer you protection while they try and figure out how to return you to your world. That is… until you come across a certain Radio Demon with different intentions. Chapter Warnings: Abuse, Kidnapping Attempt, Non-Consensual Touching Previous Chapters: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7
The walk to Valentino’s office… or… headquarters… or lair… or whatever you wanted to call it was uncomfortable at best. Angel guided you through the streets of Pentagram City, making sure to deviate from the main roads by taking back alleys and seedy shortcuts to ensure that you remained unnoticed by Hell’s residents. You were afraid to ask how he knew about the obscure alternate routes, but considering his profession, which you had learned was an adult film star who alternated as a hooker, you supposed that he would be well-versed in that sort of thing. 
“Listen, toots. If anyone asks, I didn’t set this up. Got it?” the spider demon urged, hustling down the alley.
“Why would that matter?”
“Because!” he snapped, slowing down so that you could keep up with his long legs. “I don’t wanna be the one who catches shit when the little princess realizes you snuck out right from under her nose. And I especially don’t wanna take the blame when Smiles discovers you’re gone.”
“What difference does it make if Alastor finds out?” you asked, perplexed. “I mean, I can understand Charlie. She’s giving you free housing, and you’re already on thin ice with Vaggie, but Alastor doesn’t have anything to do with you being there.”
He cackled maliciously. “Babe, you really are too much. Whether you wanna admit it or not, Smiles is obsessed with you. If he finds out that I took you to Big Vee, someone he’s not too fond of, I might add, he’ll probably eat me - and not in the way I’d like him to,” he added, grinning salaciously.
Much to your horror, you then began approaching a building with the words Porn Studios plastered on the front in bright red letters.
“Val… works in the porn industry?” you inquired, a hint of contempt in your voice.
“It’s a thriving business, baby. If you were looking for a ‘respectable’ establishment, you ain’t gonna find one a those in Hell. Get used to it.”
The more you thought about it, the more it made sense. Valentino ran Hell’s gritty underbelly, and if he was in charge of the porn and prostitution industries, surely he was in a place of power.
When you reached the empty lobby inside, Angel motioned for you to sit in one of the chairs. “I’ll go an’ let him know you’re here. Sit tight.”
The moment he disappeared through one of the doors, a slight sense of dread fell over you, causing you to stir uncomfortably in your seat. Wringing your hands nervously, your thoughts began to wander. Did you just make a huge mistake? Should you have put your trust in Angel? Why didn’t anyone else mention Valentino as a trusted source before? 
It was too much. You shouldn’t have gone there. A feeling in your gut was telling you to run and avoid this place at all costs.
Just as you had gotten up to leave, Angel came back through the doors. “He’s ready for you, toots. Come on back.”
“Angel… I--” you started to protest before he cut you off.
“You wanted answers, didn’t chya? He’s not known for his patience, babe. Come on, let’s go.”
Against your better judgement, you followed him back, swallowing thickly and trying to keep your nerves steady.
As you approached a large wooden door, Angel knocked twice before holding the door open for you. Hesitantly, you walked past him into a large office with tacky decor. Risque pictures lined the dark purple walls and a giant furry pink couch sat in the corner. Beneath your feet was a zebra-skin rug, which you were sure had been an inhabitant of Hell at one point.
At the very end of the room was a large and intimidating desk with a tall chair behind it that was faced away from you. Once you were just a few feet away, the chair swiveled, revealing a red-eyed demon adorned with a fancy flush coat and heart-shaped glasses. His outfit made him seem much less sinister than you were sure he probably was.
“Well, what do we have here?” he hissed, cracking a fanged smile. “Angie, when you told me that you were bringing me a living human, you didn’t say that she’d be so… delicious.”
Angel chuckled awkwardly, brushing past you to stand closer to Valentino.
“Don’t be shy, sugar. Come a little closer to Daddy and let me get a good look at you.”
Struggling to hide your grimace, you took a few more steps forward. Feeling his eyes scanning your form, you crossed your arms defensively, as if trying to physically hold yourself together.
The demon hummed thoughtfully before he stood up from his chair, gliding smoothly around his desk before he stopped directly in front of you.
Holy shit. He was tall. Even taller than Angel.
Pursing his lips, he circled you, inspecting you like a vulture honing in on its prey. Eventually, he stopped in front of you before demanding, “Sit still for me, sugar.”
He then placed a large hand over your chest, not in a sexual way, but as if he was trying to feel your heartbeat. Closing his eyes for a moment, you felt a strange tingling sensation where his hand was only briefly before he pulled it away with a smile plastered on his face.
Stepping away from you, he leaned back on his desk in a casual position before addressing you. “So, my little worker bee here tells me that you’re looking for some insight. That right?”
Unable to speak, you nodded your head.
“Walk me through what happened. Give Daddy all the intricate little details, baby. Don’t leave anything out.”
You wrinkled your nose as his use of the word daddy. It was incredibly off putting and didn’t at all appeal to you, but you went along with it anyway.
Clearing your throat, you started to speak, your voice shaking. “W-well… I-I was out shopping with my friends, and I saw a television that was a few decades old… probably from the seventies, at least. The remote control was next to the t.v. I picked it up, turned it on, and suddenly I was thrust into this place. That’s all I can remember.”
“Hmm,” he hummed aloud, tapping his index finger on his chin. “How very peculiar.”
“Whadya thinkin’, Val?” Angel Dust pressed, just as intrigued.
“Angie, baby… why don’t you run and get Vox. I’m sure he’d be interested to hear this little human’s story.”
“Y-you sure, boss?” Angel asked, hesitating.
Valentino narrowed his eyes at the spider. “Are you really going to waste my time with stupid questions?”
“But… you said this would be discreet-”
SLAP
You winced as Valentino backhanded Angel Dust, causing the spider to stumble back, holding his now tender cheek with a shocked expression on his face.
“Remember your place and do as you’re fucking told,” the demon snarled, baring his teeth at his inferior. “Now.”
Frowning, Angel Dust gave you a subtly apologetic glance before sauntering out of the room, leaving you alone with the pimp.
Even though you were genuinely upset at how Valentino treated Angel, you couldn’t bring yourself to act on your anger. When you had lost your cool with Lucifer, it was different because you were surrounded by Charlie and Alastor and you had the luxury of voicing your outrage, as foolish as it may have been. In your current predicament, however, you were utterly alone and at the mercy of Valentino. Clearly, you were out of your league. 
“Um,” you stammered, practically trembling where you stood and wanting to ease the quiet tension. “Wh-who is Vox?”
“He’s an associate of mine,” the demon purred. “Something tells me that he’ll be able to enlighten us to your little predicament.”
“Really?” you pressed, partially intrigued, partially terrified. “Why do you say that?”
Before he could respond, another voice could be heard approaching. “Seriously, Val? You’re gonna send your whore to fetch me like I’m some kind of bitch who’s at your beck and call? You can’t just-- oh.”
The new demon froze as he entered the room and laid eyes on you. The sight of him was just as alarming to you as you had been to him. Rather than a zoomorphic creature, it was like he was a cross between a human and a television set. He was about as tall as Alastor, sporting a striped tuxedo with a black and red striped shirt underneath. His red bowtie prominently stood out in comparison to grey undershirt.
On top of his flat-screen t.v. head, he had a black top hat with sound waves etched into it. His eyes were red with one of them containing black rings around the pupil. His entire appearance was unsettling to say the least. 
“And who do we have here?” Vox asked, his tone immediately changing from irritated to seductive.
You hadn’t realized that Valentino had moved next to you while you were distracted by Vox’s entrance. He entangled one of his fingers into a strand of your hair, twirling it around his lengthy digit, causing you to flinch. “This is the human that we’ve been hearing about all over the Seven Rings,” Val whispered close to your ear. “She has quite an interesting story. Why don’t you be a doll and tell my associate here what happened to you, sugar?”
Inhaling a shaky breath, you repeated your story about the television set. As you spoke, Vox’s eyes widened in shock as he exchanged glances with Valentino who had a menacing smirk on his face. As you finished your story, Vox had a similar expression to Val as he eyed you hungrily.
“Excuse us for a moment, won’t you, baby? Daddy’s gotta have a little chat,” Val snickered as he pulled Vox aside and stepped into the room adjacent to the one you were in.
You briefly wondered what had happened to Angel Dust until their whispers brought your attention back to them. Unable to stop yourself, you stepped closer to the doorway, listening in on their conversation. It was difficult to make out anything that they were saying, but you caught certain things here and there.
“...didn’t think that it would actually work! By the time I heard that there was a human…”
“...exactly what we wanted. What’s even better is that she came to us…” 
“...not going to go quietly. Her little friends at that rancid hotel…” 
“...just do it. We’ve waited too long for this…”
From what you had heard, you weren’t at all liking where this was going. Everything inside of you was telling you to run.
Just as you were looking for an escape, the demons came back into the room with venomous grins on their faces. “Going somewhere?” Vox asked, interpreting your actions.
“I-I need to get back. The others will be looking for me soon, and I--”
“Now, now,” Valentino cooed as he towered over you, running a finger down your arm. “You just got here. It would be rude to leave so soon.”
All of the courage that you had gathered over your time in hell had immediately dissipated. There was no way that you could overpower two demons. It was clear that you were at their mercy. “Please…” you begged, still looking for an exit. “I was just looking for a way home. I didn’t mean--”
“Don’t worry, fleshling,” Vox soothed with false sweetness as he also caressed your face, giving you unwanted chills. “We’re going to get you home. But first… we’re going to have a little fun with you.”
“W-what do you mean by fun ?” you asked, not really wanting to hear the answer, but trying to buy time until you could come up with a crafty escape.
“Oh, don’t you worry, sugar. We’re going to take good care of you,” the moth demon purred as he continued to fondle your clothes. “You’re ours now.”
“You know, I do really hate those who can’t show a little more respect to those of fairer means,” a familiar voice interrupted.
Relief washed over you like a tidal wave. Never did you think that you would be so relieved to hear that eerie static-filled voice.
Valentino and Vox immediately went rigid, but kept their hands where they were on your body. “It’s rather distasteful,” the Radio Demon continued, emerging from the shadows. His eyes were radiating a crimson glow and his smile was even more malevolent than you had seen it in the past. “Like bad meat.”
The tension in the room was palpable as Alastor’s antlers seemed to lengthen in height and width. The dark circles under his eyes appeared once more and his pupils turned to dials as his teeth elongated to emphasize his already terrifying grin. “If you would, kindly remove your hands from her.”
“No one asked you to intervene, Bullwinkle,” Vox snapped, tightening his grip on your arm.
“What?” Valentino asked, suddenly distracting and quirking a brow at his cohort. “Bullwinkle is a fucking moose.”
“So what? They both have antlers,” Vox countered, shrugging. “Who fucking cares?”
“I’m sorry to interrupt what I’m sure would be a fascinating lover’s quarrel,” Alastor teased, earning a growl from the other demons, “But I really must be on my way.”
“No one’s stopping you!” Vox pointed out, baring his electric blue teeth. “But you’re not taking the fleshling with you.”
“If you refuse to relinquish the human to me, I’m afraid I’ll have to take a more aggressive approach. I’m sure no one wants that,” Alastor remarked, tilting his head mockingly, his frightening appearance still in place.
“You really want to threaten us?” Valentino questioned with a chuckle, his eyes flashing from behind his heart-shaped glasses. “We’ll annihilate you.”
“Oh, ho, ho,” Alastor laughed, straightening his monocle. “As much as I would enjoy proving you wrong, I’m afraid you’re confused. You see, I’m here to ensure that the human remains safe before she is claimed by Lucifer. He has very specific plans for her, and, as I’m sure you can imagine, he won’t be thrilled if he finds out his prized possession is being held hostage in this… fine establishment,” he sneered at the last part of his statement.
The two demons exchanged worried glances with one another, hesitating before speaking. “Lucifer wants her?” Vox pressed, eyes darting between you and his partner-in-crime.
“That’s correct,” Alastor replied, not bothering to mask the smug undertone. “I wouldn’t want to be the one to tell the King of Hell that his shiny new toy is being soiled by two clueless brutes. Would you?”
“Fuck,” Valentino grumbled before gripping your shoulders and thrusting you back into Alastor, where you landed harshly aganst his chest. His arms immediately wrapped around you, his clawed fingers digging into your shoulders posessively. 
Vox glared at Val with disbelief as he stammered, “You’re just handing her over?! She’s the key--”
“Shut the fuck up, Vox,” Valentino snarled, narrowing his eyes and giving him a subtle, unspoken warning. “It’s not the last we’ll see of her.”
Fuming, Vox remained silent as his eyes flashed at Alastor. Valentino then bent down, his eyes boring into yours as he whispered, “We’ll see you soon, sugar.” Sitting up, his lip curled as he addressed Alastor once more.  “Now get out.”
With a flick of one of his ears and no other words exchanged, Alastor relinquished his hold on you and escorted you out, moving so quickly that you had to practically run in order to keep up with him. 
“Alastor,” you addressed him breathlessly, “Just… wait a minute--”
“Not here, darling,” he urged, still moving with urgent haste.
After nearly fifteen minutes of power walking, you had reached the hotel. The moment the door shut behind you in the lobby, you glared at the Radio Demon while struggling to catch your breath. After a few moments of tension, you asked, “Is that really what you think of me? A ‘shiny new toy’ for Lucifer’s entertainment?”
Alastor, who had returned to his far less threatening appearance, simply smirked while twirling his hand and summoning his microphone before leaning on it casually. “No, sweetheart. That’s not all I really think of you.”
“What the fuck, Alastor,” you blurted out, unable to stop yourself. “You’re a god damned enigma! Is this how you get your rocks off? You tormented me when I first got here by making not-so-subtle threats and touching me constantly like a weirdo. Then you suddenly became nice and supportive, and after Lucifer, it  seemed like you were actually going to help me, only to then make it seem like you’re just biding time until you can hand me over to him! What’s your game?! Is this how you drive your prey crazy before you slaughter them? Why are you such a creepy bastard?! What did I ever do to you to deserve these mind games?!”
Yikes. You didn’t mean to let all of that spill out at once, but you couldn’t help yourself. Once you started, you couldn’t stop. What’s worse was that during your rant, Alastor just gawked at you, seemingly unfazed. If anything, he was entertained, which only made you more upset.
After a few seconds of silence and him just staring at you with an amused expression, you emphasized, “Well?! Answer me!”
He then sat up straight, making his microphone disappear into a cloud of smoke before approaching you. Just as you were about to snap at him again, his long arm circled around your waist, pulling you close while cupping your face with his hand, running his thumb along your cheek. Before you could comprehend what was happening, his lips were on yours, moving against you in a deep and sensual kiss, making you forget the world around you.

Oblitus Part 27
Barracuda
38 Days Left Until Extermination...
Alastor had ordered Anna to help clean up his cabin while he had to errands for the hotel. Anna dusted the dust off of the fireplace mantel as well as some of photo frames and hunting trophies that there sitting on it. Then she started to sweeping and mopping the floor brushing up some of the dirt and dried mud sweeping it into the dust pan then took it outside and dumped it. 
As she walked back inside, Anna sat down on Alastor's bed for a little break. Suddenly, her hell phone began buzzing. Anna looked at the screen to see a text from Vox.
"Is the deal still on?" It read. "I haven't heard anything in days..."
 Anna sighed and texted back. "It's still on. But, I still don't have the staff yet." 
Then, in the corner of the room, she noticed a large chest and put her phone away. 
Anna walked over to a chest, and kneeled down on to the floor opening it. Inside, it was cluttered with junk and strange things as well as dust. She started reaching into it taking things out. An old radio, a couple of tarot cards, a strange voodoo spellbook, and...
Oh good lord, a shrunken head?!
Anna cringed and tossed it aside, then continued digging through the chest. She pulled out an old photo of Alastor ,when he was alive, with his mother. She flipped it to the back to see it dated 1916 and with their names on the back "Rose and Alastor" high school graduation. Then she pulled out several old newspaper articles. One read: "Bayou Killer At Large!" Missing couple's bodies found dismembered in a gator filled swamp!
Another: "Bayou Killer Strikes Again!" Husband found dead in home hacked to pieces with an axe. Then Anna noticed something as another paper fell out from the article. "Bayou Killer Caught!" The killer was caught by the police dogs as they gave chase. But, he was struck down by an unfortunate hunting accident. He has been identified as Alastor Hazbin, a local in New Orleans, and was an radio host. 
Anna paused at Alastor's name, looking at it again. Hazbin? Strange, that was the hotel's name. Anna placed the papers in a stack then reached in and she pulled out a voo doo doll that looked like Vaggie. It had a pin that was stuck in it. She wondered if these things actually work. Anna pulled the pin out of it and turned the doll around and stuck it in the dolls rear.
In the hotel's lobby, Vaggie was arguing with something at Alastor who standing in front of her with an amused smile on his face. Suddenly, she let out a loud scream in pain. Alastor raised an eye in question.
 "Are you alright, darling?"
 Vaggie yelped as she rubbed her butt. "Something struck my butt!" She turned and glared at Alastor. He stared at her with an innocent look on his face shrugging his hands. 
"Don't look at me. I didn't do it."
"If you didn't, then who did? I don't see anyone else in the room!" She shouted. Alastor narrowed his eyes, thinking. He turned around and walked away.
"Pardon me, my dear. I must go check on something!" He called out. Then Alastor phased into the shadows leaving the lobby, heading straight to his room. 
Anna frowned seeing nothing happened to the doll once she stuck the pin in it. She tossed it aside and it landed on the floor. She stood up, looking around the room some more until a faint static was heard, which sounded like snoring. She turned her head towards the sound and began to follow it heading down a large hallway then stopped in front of a door. She opened it revealing a dimly lit red room and stepped inside.
Her eyes widened in surprise, seeing Alastor's microphone resting on a stand, right in front of her. Anna walked over to it and took it off from the stand. It surprisingly felt light in her hands. Finally, she had it, Alastor's mic! Now, all she had to do was call Vox and he can break her contract with Alastor!
As Anna turned around, about to leave, she heard a very loud voice of someone shouting, furiously.  Anna turned around and her eyes widened in shock and horror at what she was witnessing in front of her.
There was a tall white man with black hair, who was clearly drunk, wearing a white shirt with dark pants and suspenders and black shoes, Alastor's father. In front of him was Alastor's mother who was pleading and begging at him to stop. The man struck her very hard knocking her down. 
"Stop!" a child's voice shouted.
Anna saw a boy who appeared to no younger than nine or ten run at the mama grabbing his arm, to stop him, it was Alastor. Alastor's father glared at him with cold eyes and grabbed Alastor by his hair dragging him towards a room. Alastor screamed and kicked trying to get free until his father roughly pulled him close then slapped him and tossed him into the room, landing hard on the floor. The door clicked as Alastor's father locked it.
"You dare disobey me, boy!?" Alastor's father hollered.
Alastor scurried back away from him but he was cornered as his back met with the wall. He stared at his father, who advance over towards him, in fear as he held his cheek now beginning to redden. Alastor's father reached for the belt of his pants, removing it, holding it at his side. Anna backed up away from him, feeling intimidated by him. 
"Father, please no!" Alastor screamed.
Anna continued to watch as the two were locked in a room while Alastor's mother screamed at the end of the door, pounding on it. Alastor's father raised his belt, Alastor flinched as he did. His father began whipping and beating him violently with it.
"Papa, stop!" Alastor screamed. "I didn't do anything wrong! All I did was create a small fire with my hands!"
"I'm going to beat the devil out of you, boy!" His father roared. "There will be no devil's magic in my house. It's bad enough that witch has it. But, you're cursed as well!"
"Mama! Help!" Alastor screamed. His mother was still trying to open the door, crying, hearing her son's helpless cry from the other end.
"John, let him be! He's just a boy! He's our son!" She cried. "Stop!"
"He ain't no son of mine!" His father shouted. 
The beating continued for what seemed like hours until his father finally stopped. Alastor was covered in deep lashing that cut through his clothes. His father left unlocking the door, shoving his mother aside heading outside probably to drink some more. Rose, immediately ran inside over towards Alastor. He sniffed feeling the sting from his cuts. His mother turned her head to see her husband was nearby and he wasn't then turned back towards her son. She took his arms and a blue glow came out from her hands as she moved all over his body. The cuts slowly began to heal up, that would forever remain scars.
"I don't see why we have to put up with him!" Alastor spatted.
"Never mind him." His mother said as she continued to clean up Alastor. "You shouldn't have stepped in."
"He didn't have to hit you!" Alastor frowned as he crossed his arms. 
"None of that now, Mon petite," His mother smiled, cupping Alastor's chin making him look at her. "Your mama can handle herself just fine. You need to look after yourself, ya hear?"
"Yes, mama." Alastor pouted.
"Now, chin up and smile! Your never fully dressed without one!" She smiled and poked Alastor in the chest and started to tickle him. Alastor laughed trying to break free.
"Mama, stop!"
A series of flashbacks appeared one after another of Alastor's past.
One, of him crying and holding his mother as she was dying in his arms. Another, appeared as Alastor stood in front of a body of his first victim that was lying on the floor, it was his father, dead. Alastor completely covered in blood while holding a knife with a deranged look in his eyes and a frozen smile on his face. Then, another showed Alastor at his job at the radio station trying to tell his ideas to his boss only to be denied.
"With someone of your "background," your better off where you're at." He said with his nose in the air. Alastor glared as he watched him walk away. Mysteriously, his boss ended up dead as he was found the very next day covered with stab wounds. Surprisingly, as well, Alastor was made head of the station as he got a high promotion of his late boss.
Then the scene faded, as gun shots were heard. Anna saw Alastor run as he was covered in scrapes and a large bite on his hand as he held it as he ran. He was being followed by dogs as they chased him. Her eyes widened as she saw one dog tackle him to the ground and was now biting him followed by the others as they started to maul Alastor. A nearby hunter who had saw the incident shot off a few rounds, scaring off the dogs. He approached Alastor to find him barely alive and breathing completely covered in gashes and bites as some of his flesh was ripped off. The hunter raised his gun aiming it Alastor's head and fired. Anna gasped as she stepped away but she bumped into something behind her. 
Suddenly, a pair of hands slammed on her shoulders as she was roughly turned around. A familiar pair of blood red eyes stared back at hers angrily.
"A-Alastor!" Anna stammered, nervously. She clutched his staff her hands, terrified. Alastor looked down seeing his staff in her hands. He had a scary demonic grin across his face, as it twitched, staring down at her in rage.
"You little thief...!" He said, as loud static emitted from him. Anna flinched as the static pierced through her eardrums.
"After everything I've done for you and this is how you repay me?!" He screeched. More static emitted from him even louder.
 Anna stepped away from him, still hold on the staff in her hands. Alastor followed Anna matching her steps.
"I wasn't going to-"
She was interrupted by Alastor as he made a haunting and wicked laugh. "You really are a bad liar. Why else would you be in here if you weren't going to take my staff? Hmm?" Alastor said, dangerously, inching closer towards her. Anna said nothing as she stared up at him, shaking.
 Without even thinking, Anna raised the staff above her head.
"Back off or I'll smash it!" She screamed. Alastor froze. "I-I mean it! I will do it!"
Alastor backed away. He raised his hands. "Now, darling, don't do anything stupid. Just give it back to me before you hurt yourself." Anna frowned, looking at the staff then back over towards the radio demon.
She raised the mic and slammed the end on the ground. Alastor's eyes widened. Black tentacles trapped him as they wrapped around him. Wasting not a minute, Anna ran out of the room, with the staff in her hands. She heard Alastor scream angrily which only made her run faster. She ran last Charlie and Vaggie in the lobby.
" Anna, where are you going?!" Charlie called out. But, Anna ignored her and continued running.
It all became a blur as her mind went empty until she she was that she was far away from the hotel and was now in the city. She gasped as she tried to catch her breath. Anna felt her hands and knees began to shake. She looked down at the staff in her hands. She did it! She had really done it! 
Anna pulled out her hell phone and dialed Vox's number. It ringed before she heard the TV demon's voice on the other end.
"I've got the staff." Anna said.  
"Good work, my dear! I'll be over in a few minutes, just wait until I get there!"
As Anna waited for Vox's limo to pull up. An overwhelming guilt began to eat at her, twisting her guts. She looked down at the microphone in her hands. She shook her head.
"What am I doing?" Anna muttered. "This is wrong..."
"That's very true, you little theif!" A voice replied as it answered her. Anna squealed ans jumped looking down at the staff in her hands to see a red eye looking back at her.
"Did you just talk?!" She shouted in disbelief.
"I don't see anyone else around here do you?!" Alastor's microphone said, sarcastically as it rolled it's eye.
Anna stared dumbfounded. "But? How?"
"I'm a living part of Alastor! If anything happens to me, he'll die!" Anna's eyes widened. Vox didn't say anything about this! 
Then Anna heard the sound of a car pull up, and looked up to see Vox as he opened the car door.
"V-Vox..." She backed away, nervously.
He noticed Alastor's staff in her hands and made a scary grin, which send shivers down Anna's spine.
"Hey, you got the staff! Good for you!" He boomed as he laughed. "I wish I could have see the look on bambi's face as you took it from him! Now, handed it over and I'll keep my end of the deal!" He grinned holding out his hand.
"Vox, y-you see...I changed my mind. The deals off." Anna said. Anna froze as she heard him made a chilling laugh.
"Oh, I wasn't asking, my dear." He smirked. Anna screamed felt arms grab her and blindfolded her as Valentino and Velvet pulled her into the limo. The limo sped off, Vox laughing evilly as it did, heading towards his Studio. 
Several bags of groceries fell onto the concrete sidewalk, as Niffty and Baxter saw the whole incident. The two looked at each other and quickly ran, frantically heading back towards the hotel.

The Price of Freedom (Chpt.1)
AO3
Summary: 
Alastor isn't sure what's gotten into their resident drug-addicted pornstar but something is different about the determined set of his shoulders and a vengeful glint in his eyes. And just where does he keep slipping off to each day returning with more money than any prostitute could make in a single day.
Alastor is beginning to realize Angel Dust might not be the demon Alastor assumed him to be. And has he always had a trio of strange imps following him around?
But Alastor isn't one to miss out on what could prove to be some very promising entertainment.
*
Angel wanted his freedom. The freedom that Valentino had stolen before Angel even knew what freedom was. He’d spent his whole lifetime being trapped under someone else's control, first his father’s, then his drug dealers, then his clients. Now that he was dead he’d only traded one pair of shackles for another.
As long as Valentino had power, Angel knew he’d never have more than a gilded cage. And Angel was fucking tired of cages. But the overlord wasn’t going to just give up his throne willingly.
But Angel wasn't going to give up without a fight.
With a final horse scream, Angel toppled to the floor, pained tremors wracking his limp body. Flinching as Vox roughly tore his cords from the base of his skull. The TV demon carelessly kicking the prostitutes' prone form as he stepped over him. Angel could only moan softly in pain, his long limbs curling inwards cradling his still trembling body. Barely aware of the sound of the door opening behind him.
“Sorry for the wait Angel Cakes,” Valentino’s smoky voice prickled unpleasantly over Angel’s still pain addled consciousness. Angel blinked blurrily up at the looming figure of his pimp. “Just took Vox a lot longer to find what we were looking for in that empty fucking brain of yours. Don’t know how you find anything in there babe.” The other demons voice dripping with cruel amusement. Digging the toe of his shoe into Angel’s sore ribs. His sharp smile twisting as the pornstar whimpered, trying to wiggle away uselessly.
“Must be all that shit you’re always snorting, might wanna lay off the angel dust, sweetheart.”
Valentino laughed sadistically, sidestepping his employee’s crumpled body, striding towards his desk with Vox following close behind. The overlord settling into his overly luxurious chair, carved from ebony wood with gold inlays and lined with crimson velvet, auspicious enough to be called a throne.
Angel had always thought it looked less like a symbol of the overlord's power and more like he was overcompensating. Not that he ever dared share that with Valentino.
The pimp steepled his fingers together, propping his feet atop his enormous desk. The TV demon standing to Valentino left, screen flickering as a cruel grin warped his face. The lights leaking through the enormous penthouse windows haloing the overlords in neon colors.
“But Vox is the best at what he does,” Valentino smirked at his fellow overlord, the smirk growing wider as the other demon cackled in response. Angel tried to lift his head, weakly glaring at his boss, eyes still unfocused and vision blurring at the edges. Still fuzzy from Vox’s invasion of his mind.
“Come on Angie, baby, don’t be that way. You forced my hand sweetheart, I couldn’t trust you to remember to tell me everything.” The pimp scolded, voice thick with false sweetness. “Just like I’m sure it slipped your mind to mention your whole little “going-clean” schtick.” His smile dropping suddenly, eyes steely. “I don’t appreciate learning about my employee's apparent plans to quit from those fucking pigs running the news.”
Angel shuddering under the force of the overlord's anger, the air practically pulsating from the power exuding from the pimp. Forcing his aching body upright, legs still too weak to hold his weight. His lower set of arms wrapped protectively around his throbbing torso. Valentino’s enraged expression becoming pleased at the sight of Angel’s pained grimace. His face twisting into a pseudo-sweet smile.
“But you’re ain’t gonna quit are you, Angel?” The pimp crooned. Legs falling from his desk as he leaned forward in his chair. Propping his elbows on the desktop and hooking his chin on his intertwined fingers. Glowing red eyes watching the prostitute expectantly, dark promises flickering behind the tinted lenses of heart-shaped glasses. Angel swallowed back the disgust curling in his throat.
“No daddy.” He replied obediently. Eyes downcast and posture demure, the perfect picture of compliance.
“Good, good, we wouldn’t want to have to punish you again now would we.” Angel shook his head vehemently, ignoring the splitting headache pounding behind his eyes. Valentino hummed in satisfaction as he leaned back into the plush velvet lining his chair.
“Now,” The overlord purred, the tapping of his nails against the armrest of his chair deafening in the quiet room. “You wanna explain to me what all this ‘redemption’ bullshit is about?”
Angel didn’t reply. Refusing to look at the overlord.
Valentino sighed, rising smoothly to his feet, sauntering over to Angel’s kneeling form. Angel gazed up at the other man, fighting to not flinch away from the hand that began petting his hair. “How ‘bout I make this easier,”
The clawed hand that had been carding through his hair suddenly gripping a fistful of white locks. Angel winced as his head was yanked back, Valentino’s sharp teeth suddenly inches from his face. “What makes you think you’re even worthy of redemption?” The pimp growled, ignoring Angel uselessly clawing at the hand tangled in his hair.
“A stupid, worthless, whore like yourself, whose only redeeming quality is your cock-hungry holes.”
Angel averted his eyes, unable to hold Valentino’s hateful gaze as verbal poison spilled from the pimps lips. A sudden sharp grip on his chin wrenched his face forward, Valentino’s claws digging harshly into the soft flesh of Angel’s cheeks. The overlord forcibly lifting Angel’s body upwards with his tight grip. The pornstar whimpering but knowing better than to retaliate.
“You look me in the fucking eye when I’m talking to you!” Valentino snarled, eyes flashing before his expression relaxed, melting back into a saccharine sweet smile.
“You just can’t do anything right can you dollface?” A drop of blood sliding down Angel's cheek where Valentino’s claw pricked his cheek. “So fucking useless huh, that dumb royal bitch didn’t know what she was doing picking your pathetic ass to be a part of her stupid pet project.”
The bitter taste of copper filling Angel’s mouth as he bit harshly into his lip to stop himself from spitting in the overlord's face. Surprised by the force of his own anger as Valentino mocked Charlie’s dream. Girl was as naive as they came but she genuinely wanted to see the best in everyone, she truly believed demons could be redeemed. She believed Angel could be redeemed.
The overlord noticed the defiant spark in the pornstar's eyes, his grin growing sharper until he was baring his teeth more than he was smiling.
“Oh this is rich,” The pimp laughed through his teeth, still gripping Angel Dust’s hair. Valentino smirked over his shoulder at Vox, shaking Angel roughly by his hair. “This little bitch actually believes in this redemption shit.” Vox’s snickering joined Valentino’s own cruel chuckling.
“Let me make one thing clear, Angel.” Valentino’s voice dropped to a hiss, his face inches from Angel’s. Close enough that Angel could taste the other man’s alcohol tainted breath. “Even if redemption wasn’t a load of horseshit, you’d never have a chance in hell. You wanna know why angel cakes?”
The overlord drew back to his full height, sneering down his nose at Angel. “Cuz your nothing. You ain’t worth nothing to nobody. Even your own family down here doesn’t want you. The only reason you’re not dead in a fucking ditch is because of me.”
Angel winced as the nails pricking his cheeks dug deeper into the soft flesh. “Who do you belong to Angel cakes?”
“You.” Angel’s voice was barely more than a whisper.
“That’s right, and I’ve got your contract to prove it.” Valentino releasing his intense grip on both Angel’s face and hair sending the pornstar toppling to the floor again.
“Now get out, I’m sick of looking at your face.” The pimp spun on his heel, returning to his seat without a backward glance at the trembling demon struggling to stand. Angel tottered dangerously but managed to get his legs underneath himself, one arm still cradling his slowly mending ribs. Angel was half-way out the door hand hovering on the door handle when the sound of Valentino’s voice caused him to pause. “Oh, and Angel?”
Angel Dust glanced warily over his shoulder. “Next time, you answer me when I call, got it, babe?”
“Yes, boss.”
The door closed with a click.
Angel kept his head held high, marching to the elevator. The moment the doors slid closed behind him, Angel all but collapsed against them. Exhaling deeply, wincing as a sharp jab of pain from his protesting ribs, Angel groaned. Valentino had really put him through the wringer this time. Angel knew he’d be sore for weeks but the pimp always made sure he’d still be able to work. Never leaving an injury that couldn’t regenerate in a few hour's time. Didn’t want to damage the merchandise after all.
Mutilation wasn’t Val’s style anyway, the sadistic roach preferred to aim for where the skin was thinnest. He always knew which bruises to dig his fingers into. Valentino was equally as fond of emotional abuse as he was of inflicting physical pain. The pimp overlord was able to ascertain someone's most emotionally vulnerable cracks and once he did, he’d ruthlessly pry those cracks open until whatever was left was practically unrecognizable.
Angel moaned softly as the elevator jolted, his sore body complaining at the rough treatment. He silently willed it to descend faster, he was itching to get the hell out of there before he suffocated under the weight of Val's overwhelming presence.
This wasn’t his first time getting on his boss’s bad side. He’d seen the back of Valentino's hand more than once. It was rare if he was without a bruise or two, either from his clients or his pimp. It was one of the unfortunate side effects of being covered entirely in velvety fur. A lot easier to hide bruises, which Val seemed to take as a challenge.
Angel could handle pain, he even enjoyed it in the right scenarios. Even as Valentino’s punishments grew more and more brutal. Angel could handle him.
Vox was a different story.
Vox was the kind of demon Angel hated the most, though Valentino was a close second. He even preferred Alastor and his creepy smile over the TV demon. Despite Angel’s previous unawareness about the radio demon, Vaggie’s very vivid and detailed story of other demons ventures painted a clear picture.
Alastor was direct, merciless and efficient. Alastor slaughtered demons but his bloodlust was simple and honest. The radio demon even seemed to have some weird moral code about who he killed. Despite his terrifying abilities and rumored cannibalism, he wasn’t a mindless killer.
Unlike Vox and Valentino who enjoyed causing pain just for the sake of pain. Heedless of who they hurt as they made an overblown show of power through senseless and gratuitous killing.
Angel had always found Vox’s unique brand of torture was invasive, cowardly, and unrefined. The TV demon wielded the numerous cords connected to his body and at the slightest inclination could bury them deep in his victims' flesh. Vox’s powers granted him the ability to forcibly search someone's mind, which was painful in it itself. But he could also forcibly create a recurring nightmare of traumatic memories that played on a loop.
Angel had one of Vox’ victims who’d been plugged in for over a week, reliving their darkest moments again and again. They’d been barely more than an empty husk of a demon, eyes empty and blank, completely unresponsive. It had scared Angel badly enough at the time he’d behaved for an entire year.
This wasn’t even the first time Valentino had felt Angel’s disobedience merited Vox’s intervention, but it wasn’t usually as unbearable. Normally Angel was so strung out on whatever cocktail of drugs he was offered it was barely more than a, particularly bad nightmare. A bad dream that would be forgotten easily enough as soon as Angel Dust got his hands on more of his namesake.
But this time Angel had been completely stone-cold sober.
Each excruciating second had been in agonizing clarity. The feeling of Vox forcibly entering his mind had felt like his head was being split open from the inside and left his brain feeling like it’d been scraped raw with sandpaper. Painful memories lingering too close to the surface after being buried underneath the haze of drugs and sex for so long.
Angel shuddered, moments of his past life that he’d tried his best to forget flashing behind his eyelids. Shaking his head, trying to rid himself from the lingering horrors Vox dredged up from his own mind. He only succeeds in further agitating his throbbing headache.
The elevator dinged and Angel stumbled backward as the doors slid open. Catching himself on the wall with a groan, Angel whined unhappily as he clambered back to his feet. Brushing off imaginary dust from his jacket and smoothing back his hair, only for it to bounce forward again.
Beginning his trek down the hall, eyes brushing over familiar faces of other demons trapped underneath Valentino’s thumb. Some offered him sympathetic looks but otherwise didn’t approach. Angel couldn’t bring himself to be offended. After all, they all knew Valentino would only use it as an excuse to punish him again.
Angel took in the tired faces of all the demons that passed him, everyone looking a little worse for wear since he’d been here last. It had been a few days since he was released from house arrest, or would it be hotel arrest Angel wonders, after his little territorial genocide stint with Cherri. Charlie (only after Vaggie’s very loud protest) had insisted there be some kind of punishment for his actions. If it could be called that, Angel would take a few days of lazing around with his pig over Valentino’s punishment anytime.
Angel sure as hell didn’t believe in redemption or any of that “being a good person” bullshit Charlie was always trying to sell him. But looking at the haggard faces of the demons around him he felt a twinge of concern for them. They weren’t good people that was for damn sure but a lot of them weren’t exactly bad people either.
Angel huffed, cursing Charlie for infecting him with her mushy feelings and empathy. He shuddered just thinking the word. This would be so much easier drugged out of his mind and completely unaware of anything besides his own high.
Drawing closer to the rear exit of the studio Angel straightened his hunched posture, the ache in his ribs finally having subsided somewhat as the bones mended. It would ache like a bitch for a few days at least but nothing Angel wasn’t used too. He’d just have to avoid his left side when he was on the pole.
He exited the studio quickly, striding down the alleyway, eager to get as far away from the building as possible. He wanted to get back to the hotel, where he at least had a room that wasn’t monitored 24/7 and he didn’t have to worry about anyone trying to sell Fat Nuggets for drug money while he was gone.
He paused mid-step, eyes catching on a garishly colored image splashed across the alleyway wall. Angel glared up at, what was no doubt the work of one of Valentino’s, admittedly talented, goons. An enormous portrait of Valentino’s sleazy face splashed across the alley wall. It practically dwarfed him, nearly twice Angel’s height and wider than his arm span.
Standing there, glaring up at the pimps painted likeness. Skin tacky from the cold sweat drying on his skin, breathing slowly growing more ragged with each breath. Angel felt a powerful tidal wave of emotion well up inside him. All four of his hands curling tightly into fists, his claws digging painfully into his palms.
A sudden familiar, grating voice boomed over the loudspeaker causing Angel to jump in surprise. Grimacing in disgust as one of Valentino’s many degrading “reminders” that played on an hourly loop echoed through the studio, leaking into the alleyway.
“Remember to serve your customers with a smile, a happy customer is a paying customer. Now go out and make daddy his money you worthless whores.”
Valentino’s voice wrapping tightly around Angel, slowly constricting around him, squeezing the air from his lungs. Just another reminder of who he belonged to.
The thin thread of Angel’s temper finally snapped.
A loud crack reverberated through the alley. Angel’s fist burying itself in the brick wall, directly in the center of Valentino’s smarmy painted smile. Long, jagged cracks spidering across the surface obscuring the image of Valentino’s grinning face entirely.
Angel’s entire form trembled with rage, the fury burning inside him climbing higher and higher. A small flame of indignity that had spent centuries growing into a blazing inferno of hatred and savage determination.
Angel wanted his freedom. The freedom that Valentino had stolen before Angel even knew what freedom was. He’d spent his whole lifetime being trapped under someone else's control, first his father’s, then his drug dealers, then his clients. Now that he was dead he’d only traded one pair of shackles for another.
As long as Valentino had power, Angel knew he’d never have more than a gilded cage. And Angel was fucking tired of cages. But the overlord wasn’t going to just give up his throne willingly.
Angel tugged his fist free from the brick and mortar wall, unflinching despite his now bloodied and broken knuckles. They would heal quickly enough anyway. Angel wanted his freedom, but there was only one way to get it. It wasn’t going to be easy, and Angel knew he might die trying, but he’d already made up his mind. A sharp, determined grin spread across Angel Dust’s lips.
He was going to kill Valentino.
