All I can think about now is Lucifer stalking following Alastor around cause he's being over protective and Alastor avoiding him like the plague. Like a weird game of hide and seek.
Pffffffffft, that's basically it. Alastor gets the feeling he's being watched, but when he turns around, instead of a buzzing drone, he sees Lucifer sitting in front of a cafe with a fake mustache and a newspaper with holes cut for his eyes.
Okay, maybe not literally, but it's a funny mental image!
Lucifer's pretty protective of Charlie too, but it's not like he's watching her every move. He probably does stick a little closer to Alastor out of guilt and due to the Vees' increased activity, but not to the point where he's crawling in the bushes. More like offering to join Alastor on outings or wanting to know where he's going and when he's planning to be back. Making excuses to run into him places. Which leads to Alastor giving ever more vague answers or straight up lying about his plans where normally he wouldn't bother. Alastor pretty quickly shuts Lucifer down when Lucifer offers to go with him anywhere.
"What, are you expecting to do some paternal bonding now? Perhaps we'll go fishing, or play a spot of catch?"
"I mean... Do you want t-"
"No."
This might be the point where Nicasius gets introduced to the AU proper. With Alastor coming under increasing fire (and his powers mysteriously weakened since he's still hiding his injury) Lucifer thinks it only makes sense he have some protection out in public. So he creates the little dog-like monster to guard Alastor from these increased threats.
The gift... doesn't go over well. Alastor can't see it as anything but an insult, to his power, to his pride, to his independence. The fact that it's shaped like a dog doesn't help matters. To be fair, Lucifer didn't know Alastor had a thing about dogs! He went with a dog-like creature so it would always be able to sniff Alastor out no matter how sneaky he was!
As a side benefit: it makes it easier to keep track of whatever scheming Alastor gets up to.

"On one hand, he's completely against it because Aemond is completely unworthy of Lucerys in his eyes. Aemond is violent and power-hungry and manipulative and oh dear is this what Viserys felt?"
HA!
This is what we call karma Daemon. Viserys is probably ugly laughing in the afterlife.
Daemon’s definitely going to gain a new appreciation for what his brother went through
He’s going to swing between “I’d be a hypocrite to shoot down whatever relationship is building between them” and “I can and will burn the entire country down if Aemond doesn’t stop eye-fucking my son every time they cross paths.”
He can be both. He has the range 😂

ok Batman Hockey AU (no capes or superpowers of any kind)
first the team
Gotham Knights (probably)
I want them to have like Pittsburgh Penguins financial problems like they nearly get moved because of it but Bruce turns his owed salary into equity post career and helps keep the team in the city
Philadelphia Flyers style team history though like they won their first cups through physical play not being highly skilled
currently have a monochrome uniform now but everyone likes their more colorful uniforms from the 90s
Bruce Wayne
nickname: Wayner
position: left winger
play style: power forward
drafted: 5th overall
50 goal scorer in the dead puck era
one of the last guys to be high scoring and have 100+ penalty minutes
retires due to back injuries
wins one cup in the 90s
and like I said before he agrees to get partial ownership of the team to keep it in the city post retirement
Dick Grayson
nicknames: Tracy, Mr. President
position: center
play style: playmaker
drafted: 1st overall
first sign of hope as the team has been bottom of the league post Bruce's retirement
I did consider making him a goalie because of flexibility but felt him being captain was more important so center it is
one of the youngest captains in the league as he's named at the start of his sophomore season as he entered the NHL at 18
only one to go CHL as he's not American so no US National Team Development Program
cheats at face offs because if you're not cheating you're not trying
can use heel to heel for puck protection and can get off the ice on his own if he loses a blade on his skate
no one thinks he's fast until he's coming after them on the backcheck
favorite thing is stealing the puck, second favorite thing is breaking ankles
doesn't fight but he can WWE slam guys to the ice
everyone thought he was a bust for the first two years because he had no one to pass to
third year he decides to start shooting and begins to rack up more points
chats with everyone teammates, opponents, refs
always stops to sign stuff for kids
Jason Todd
nicknames: Toddy, Hot Toddy
position: right defense
play style: offensive defenseman
drafted: 62nd
dropped in the draft because he was short
got into a car accident that destroyed his knee after the draft so everyone thought his career was over
rehabbed his knee to the extreme and came back a season later and suddenly 6'0"
went NCAA before NHL to get back into it and scored a ton
cannot play defense
thinks punching guys in the face is gap control
has totally had pucks go off his ass and into his team's goal
will jump into the rush
silent wrist shot for power play goals
never talks to Dick when he gets mic'ed up
Tim Drake
nickname: Goose
position: right winger
play style: goal scorer
drafted: 15th
also dropped in the draft because he's short
USNTDP to NCAA
actually not that fast
always loses defensive coverage in the offensive zone
deceptive shot, can change the angle on goalies
always squeezes out from getting hit
active stick on defense, good at poking the puck away
lots of high sticking penalties in the early years
did get checked into his own bench one time and no one will let him forget it
Damian Wayne
nickname: also Wayner
position: center
play style: goal scorer
not drafted yet still in USNTDP
Talia refuses to get into hockey even after being with Bruce but when Damian was three she asked Bruce if skating would wear him out and he said yes so she let Damian go skate
didn't learn to how to stop until he was six because going fast was more important so either fell down or slammed into the boards to stop
vicious in family games of floor hockey
definitely practices trick shots
gets both power skating and figure skating coaching
not even in the NHL and already annoyed with media as he's predicted to go high in the draft
he'll learn to pass and play defense eventually
