Compilation of college AU Lucifer and Satan because I love them

You know what, I’m just gonna say it. I think that Alastor being aroace is part of the reason he’s so shippable to me.
Before you come at me, check the flag in my pfp; I’m aroace-spec.
Maybe it’s me projecting, maybe it’s because I love exploring relationships through an aroace lens, but goddamn. I ship him more than any other character and every time I do, his aroaceness is a major component in the ship.
Examples below the cut because it’s gonna get long:
📻🍎 || RadioApple:
There are so many versions of this dynamic and I am here for all of them.
We have the pre-canon kinky QPR that I show in UH3. I could talk about that all day, but to summarize:
Aroace x genuinely respectful allo is a dynamic that heals my soul.
Lucifer is less tied down by human constructs like amatonormativity, having never been human himself.
The Devil values consent.
Kinky cannibalism, kinky cannibalism, kinky cannibalism, kinky ca- *I am removed from the stage with a comically large hook*
Then we have the Evil and fucked up QPR dynamic:
Tumblr media
And of course, trying to get along for Charlie’s sake and eventually bonding over their shared love of dad jokes and musical theatre, both being violinists (yup, Alastor plays violin too, check the wiki) with niche hobbies/interests (ducks, furby organ) and accidentally winding up in a loving, healthy QPR.
📻🕸️ || RadioDust:
There’s something about an aroace and a sex worker who very rarely falls in love.
Angel would know that Alastor isn’t with him for sex, would know that he values Angel beyond his body.
With greyro Alastor, Angel and Alastor would both be inexperienced with romance, but in wildly different ways. Angel has never had a healthy romantic relationship and therefor tries not to fall in love. Greyro Alastor has probably experienced romantic attraction like less than three times in his 100+ years of existence.
And if Alastor never gains romantic attraction for Angel, that’s a whole other level to the dynamic.
It’s got some great angst potential with Angel wondering if he’s not good enough to love romantically or Alastor feeling guilty or confused as to Why It Hasn’t Happened Yet when he cares for Angel so deeply, and eventually it gets resolved with the two of them accepting that their attractions don’t have to match up for them to love/appreciate/care for each other and they smash the amatonormative relationship hierarchy as queer platonic partners.
Or, Angel’s just totally cool with it from the start because he’s spent decades in the kink scene and has potentially been exposed to more relationship anarchy than Alastor.
Kink and queerness have a great deal of historical and cultural overlap, and that includes aroace queerness. Because Angel’s had way more canon exposure to both, it’s possible he knows more about Alastor’s orientation than Alastor does, and I love the idea of Angel introducing him to terms or just being super chill about not labeling things.
📻♥️ || RadioHusk:
Drawing like 90% from pilot dynamic and headcanon on this. They’re just two old men. They get drunk and cuddle. Alastor is one of the few people who knows Husk can purr and takes advantage of this fact. Alastor considers Husk a friend in a fucked up, possessive way. Husk considers Alastor a pain in the ass, but does care about him on some level.
It’s Fucked Up and Evil QPR: Remix Edition.
And the versions where the author puts them through fanfic couple’s therapy and actually gets them into a healthy point in their relationship? One where Alastor no longer owns Husk’s Soul? *chef’s kiss*
📻🌹 || RadioRose:
For me, personally, this is an exclusively nonsexual, non-romantic ship. They’re besties; they’re QPPs. They’re married for the tax benefits and so that they cannot be forced to testify against each other in court.
Rosie knew Alastor was aroace before he did and rather than sit down and explain it to him, she decided to make ace puns.
📻💋 || RadioSiren: [edit, context here] RadioFemme
Ok, so this is entirely based on non-canon-compliant Lilith. Or, I guess, non-series-compliant Lilith. More of the old WOG stuff from the pilot era, with a healthy dose of headcanon for flavor.
I love the idea of Lilith and Lucifer having an open marriage; I love the UH3 style polycule dynamic.
Lilith being the original seductress and Alastor being aesthetically but not sexually or romantically attracted to her is very near and dear to my heart.
I’m an aroace with a voice kink who is aesthetically attracted to Lilith and I think Alastor is an aroace with a voice kink who would be aesthetically attracted to Lilith, ok?
📻📺 || RadioStatic:
I’m gonna be real with you, 90% of my interest in RadioStatic is in the one-sided version where Vox is a pathetic little incel simp and Alastor is either oblivious, mildly annoyed, or finds the whole thing hilarious.
Whenever there’s any reciprocation on Alastor’s part, I always imagine it being in a very aroace, very Alastor-esque way. He needs to be get something out of it completely unrelated to sex/romance. And he needs to be manipulative and sadistic in the process.
Whether that something is kink-related, a business transaction, or simply the quality entertainment provided by Vox being a cringefail TV-headed little bitch, I love to see it.

can we talk about how truly awesome aroaces are?
you peeps/creatures are so amazing, and are so valid. so brilliant and so diverse and incredible.
for those of you who aren’t entirely loveless, you don’t NEED to be entirely loveless and don’t need to not want to be a relationship. you’re aroace enough.
you’re aroace enough. you can love your friends incredibly, make them gifts, shower them in platonic love letters, remind them how much you love them, give them the love that they deserve and need, hold their hands. you can love your qpp with strong emotion, cuddle with them, brush their hair out of their eyes, kiss them, be buddies for life, be besties for life. you can love your alterous partner with immense power, hold them close to your chest, kiss away their tears, remind them about how stunning they are, ugly laugh with them, be friends but in the alterous way. you can love your besties or your blood family in the most strongest, dearest way, you can encourage them through the tough times, lift them up again when they’ve fallen, take care of them when they’re sick, remind them how much worth they have, never give up on them. and you’re all still aroace enough.
you can be romance-favorable, you can be sex-favorable. you can be romance-indifferent, you can be sex-indifferent. you can be romance-repulsed, you can be sex-repulsed. you can be a mixture. you’re aroace enough, no matter what.
you may not mind when someone assumes you’re in a romantic-sexual relationship with your friend, qpp, or alterous partner. or you may get upset/feel invalid/feel unseen/feel uncomfortable by it. you’re aroace enough, either way.
for those who are loveless, i don’t know much about you, not as much as i want to know, because you peeps/creatures are so cool. but i know one thing: there’s nothing wrong with you. no matter what society says, what other aroaces even may say, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with you. you don’t need love to be human. you don’t need love to exist and be happy in life.
you’re content with yourselves, that’s absolutely wonderful. you’re content and happy without any love, that’s incredible.
you peeps/creatures are so amazing, and i appreciate your existence so much.
for those who are on the aroace-spec, not oriented aroace, not strictly not experiencing romantic and sexual attraction, those who are aroace-SPEC, you are aroace enough.
the demi-aroaces who adore their friend and then adore them in a different way. not everyone is like you. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.
the fray-aroaces who adore strangers so fondly, who sometimes wish they could adore them for longer. you don’t have to adore them for longer. you can adore them for as briefly as you do. you are not a “slut” or emotionally immature. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.
the aroacefluxes who adore their partner sometimes, then not as much another time, then not at all, then in a different way, and keep switching. who adore their partner in the same way for too long and think they’re faking it. you are not faking it. you are not indecisive. you are brilliant. you are different, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.
the aego-aroaces who want nothing to do with romance or sex in real life, but are content with the stuff in their minds. who are content with stories of romance and sex. you are not faking being aroace, you can enjoy something in theory but not want to participate in it. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.
the cupio-aroaces who desperately want a romantic and sexual relationship, but do not experience romantic and sexual attraction. who feel like they’re letting their partners down for not experiencing it. who feel like they’re missing a part of themselves and have no idea why it’s gone. you are not missing a part of yourself, you are not letting anyone down, you are enough as you are, and you don’t need to be repulsed by those things. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.
the (light and dark and in-betweens) gray-aroaces who feel as if they don’t belong anywhere, who feel as if they’re letting their partners down by not feeling enough or not feeling it frequently enough, who feel confused about how they feel and can’t decide what they want because of that, who feel they don’t feel enough for a partner, who feel they feel too much to be aroace. you are so belong somewhere. you belong with us aroaces. you don’t need to feel the same as allos to have a partner and love that partner and you don’t need to feel it every minute of every day to have a partner and love that partner. it’s difficult not knowing things but it’s okay to not know and be okay with that, you don’t need to know to be valid. you don’t need to feel the same way allos do, you DO feel enough for your partner, there should be no description for enough. you don’t feel too much to be aroace, you ARE aroace, you’re not faking it, you’re not making it up for attention. you’re different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.
the electio aroaces who question if they’re really aroace every day because they want relationships and connections and companionship. you are not faking it, you are not seeking attention, you ARE really aroace. you do not need to feel any tertiary attraction to crave those things. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.
the aroacespikes who question every time they have a spike if they’re honestly their label. you are not making it up. you are what you are. you are aroacespike. you do not need to be one or the other. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.
the encie aroaces who keep questioning if they’re really aroace since they DO experience sexual and romantic attraction, but just in this specific way. who are confused about how the attractions work and differ. who feel upset/sad/guilty for experiencing the attractions not automatically or “as easily” as they feel they should. you are valid, you ARE really aroace. you do not need to experience it right away, it is okay to need to know the mind of the person first. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.
to those with aroace identities that don’t match up, or are super unheard of, or those who have just started questioning if they’re aroace. you are valid, you are seen, you are appreciated. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.
to those aroaces who struggle with intrusive thoughts or are aroace because of trauma, you are valid and seen and heard. you are aroace enough. you are not faking it, you are not seeking attention. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.
to those oriented aroaces who love being who they are because they have not yet met hate or because they have found a way to love themselves through it all or because they have found a way to love themselves after experiencing hate. you are wonderful people and i’m so happy that you’ve found peace for yourselves. i’m proud of you for making it on through the hate.
to those oriented aroaces who hate being who they are because they are going through the hate and are tired and wish nothing than to be allo. you are wonderful people. and despite what society has told you, it is okay to feel these things and there is nothing wrong with you, you are human as you are. i hope that your situation gets better, and i’m proud of you for hanging on through.
to aroaces who are aroace because of their neurodivergence, you are valid and are seen and are heard. you are not faking it, you are not just confused. you are valid. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.
to aroaces of all kinds, you are amazing, brilliant, wonderful people/creatures. and you are queer. you are queer enough. you are aroace enough. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are seen and heard and valued and valid.
i appreciate all of you so much.

I want to make these thoughts very clear when I say I love the PLATONIC family vibes of radioapple and radiorosie. Alastor and Lucifer have a cool dynamic and I adore the psycho mom and dad things Alastor and Rosie have. But I DO NOT SHIP IT IN A SEXY OR ROMANTIC WAY. Alastor is aroace and I don’t honestly see him being that way with anyone. A QPR with Rosie suits him the most in my opinion, given his distaste for most men and favor for most women.
Mostly, thinking of Alastor having wine aunt nights with Rosie gives me the warm fuzzies. They’re definitely besties who share all the gossip over tea and fingers.
Huskerdust though? Oh hell yeah give me 20 of those with a side of the most heinous smut while also being so fluffy and sweet I need to brush my teeth.
Not to mention how absolutely adorable and wonderful Fizzarozzie from Helluva Boss. They are THE couple. Stolitz is on THIN FUCKING ICE but I’m still a bit obsessed.
Valentino can go die again. Fuck that moth, get electrocuted.
Just new obsession thoughts.

some peter head-cannons because this fandom neglects the poor boy
he/they (prefers they but dosnt want to inconvenience others by saying that so only really the other marauders use they)
short but not the shortest (is like an inch or a couple cm for you not americans taller than sirius and loves to talk about it)
is aroace but doesn’t realize it until like the middle of sixth year, and because he doesn’t realize it for a while dates and sleeps with so so many people. like you could point to a random student in the great hall at dinner that was about their age and they would probably be peter’s ex of some kind
loves cheese. loved cheese before they became animagi. when they were working on that james and sirius would joke that peter would be a mouse or a rat because of how much they likes cheese
is like besties with cat form mcgonnagal. he doesn’t know it’s her but she knows it’s him and they sometimes will hangout and run around the hallways. they bond over their love of cheese.
because he’s besties with mcgonnacat, he never had any problems with pet cats and strays bc minerva told them pete’s a friend. (also helps that they steal cheese for them from the kitchen)
is actually pretty good at school but his B+s and A-s aren’t that noticeable next to james and remus’s consistent As and A+s (or whatever the equivalent would be at hogwarts)
a god at chess
is a really good singer but only ever sings in front of the other marauders (once he drunkenly did karaoke with mary and she asked for his autograph after(jokingly ofc but still))
got a muggle driving license bc he thought that would be helpful. bc of this he was the designated alcohol getter on their cornwall ‘77 trip (atyds is canon shhh)
also always the designated snack getter from the kitchen when they’re doing anything
always has ibuprofen or some kind of pain relief potion in his pocket/bag bc remus is always in some form of pain from his furry little problem, james is always sore from quidditch and sirius gets migraines. mary also gets really bad cramps and never complains but peter can tell when she’s in pain. he himself has chronic joint pain but never takes the medicine because what if his friends need it?
also always has extra cigarettes and a lighter in his bag even though he dosnt smoke
he also always has an extra tampon and pad
when hes drunk he can’t transform to or from his rat form. so if hes drunk and a rat at the time, hes kinda stuck at a rat, at least until he sobers up a bit
can play guitar and the drums and a little bit of piano
loves quidditch and watching quidditch and the idea of playing quidditch but in reality is a bit afraid of heights (though in james’s backyard where the goal posts aren’t to high, he’s an amazing keeper)
will probably reblog with others as i think of them!

Longtail is my favorite character. I love his character arc, how he acts as a narrative foil to Firestar, and how he starts out as a jerkass but grows to have a backbone, shows himself to be a loyal warrior with a heart of gold where it counts, rejects Tigerstar when lines in the sand have been crossed despite how much he once looked up to him, and eventually grows to be very loyal to Firestar. I wish people talked more about the scene where he saves Fire when Tiger tries to drown him even though they’re not at all on friendly terms yet. Also his mentor-apprentice relationship with Swiftpaw tears me apart but I live for all the fan content that shows their bond and how much regret he has to live with after Swiftpaw’s death.
To this day I have so many gripes with what happened to my boy post-TPB.
If there is a non-death equivalent of TV Tropes’ “Too Cool To Live,” Longtail is basically that. He had to be written out because if he weren’t forcibly removed from the action, then he would be the obvious choice to become deputy during Greystripe’s absence in TNP (and arguably should have been chosen over Greystripe in the first place; I do like Grey but he was not particularly loyal nor responsible in his youth). Longtail was still relatively young, healthy and fit, loyal, experienced, passionate. You cannot convince me that he wasn’t dealt a career-ending injury solely because the plot demanded Brambeclaw become deputy by the end of TNP.
I don’t think Longstar would have ever been realistic to expect because he’s not a central enough character and not related to Fire/Tiger, and because he would have been fairly old for a clan cat by the time of Firestar’s death, but maybe he could have held out as deputy till the end of TNP or even early PO3 and been given a cooler and more memorable death than what he got. But more on that later.
We all know how badly this series shafts its disabled characters. Maybe this is trivial to some, but I really hate the retcon about his blindness. When his vision started failing of natural causes, it was still frustrating for the reasons above but it at least seemed like he made a voluntary choice to retire early. He maintained a degree of agency, and he made his own decision under the circumstances rather than having it taken from him by the narrative. Having him get blinded by a rabbit of all things just feels like a cheap shot to move the plot along. If he were going to have a freak accident, at least make it less stupid than an experienced warrior getting his eyes scratched out by a prey animal.
Not that any of them are handled *well* by any means, but we have roughly this same character arc with so many other characters who are given more depth in coming to terms with a permanent disability or disfigurement and having it alter the course of their lives (Cinderpelt, Brightheart, later on Briarlight…) that we didn’t need this one to happen to prove any kind of point or to say something too much different than any of those other instances.
The silver lining of Longtail’s injury is that it allows us to see more of his friendship with Mousefur than we would have gotten if either of them had died younger, and/or if they had faded to being background characters in the ever-growing ThunderClan roster. I really adore their dynamic. I headcanon them as aroace besties (iirc though this is basically canon for at least Mousefur). I find it so lovely and refreshing that a m/f pair of characters, and ones who are mostly very likable at that, can have a platonic relationship with so much care for each other without it eventually going down the marriage-and-children path that most m/f relationships eventually do in this series.
However.
Longtail’s death, and Mousefur’s role in it, are possibly even more frustrating and narratively awful than even the accident that caused his blindness.
Having him go out in such a cheap and easily preventable way felt like such a fucking slap in the face to these beloved characters who have been around from the very beginning of the series. Longtail had his whole life redefined and turned upside down by one random, frustrating freak accident involving prey and he ultimately lost his life to another one. Mousefur’s character was mishandled so grossly here, and a cat who is usually pretty sensible and grounded lost her best friend because she couldn’t let one (1) mouse go in a moment of what I have to assume is senility.
I am at least glad the two got a proper send-off in the Great Battle, with them getting to reunite on-screen and his spirit guiding her to Starclan after she fell in battle. It doesn’t quite make up for everything else given that Longtail had so much unused potential while alive, but it all would have been so, so much more upsetting if they weren’t given at least that much to close their chapters.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk about Longtail. He is so dear to my heart and deserved so much better than most of what he got.

Hi, I'm aroace. you "do not ship canon aroace char" is deeply misleading. I shouldn't explain it to you but aromanticism and asexuality are spectrums. Where Alastor falls on that spectrum depends on how who writes him. He can be comfortable with a particular "messed up" idea of "romance" that does not align with the normal concept of romance. He can be into kinks/fetishes without being into traditional sex - and he will still be ace. Hell, he's a serial killer, and guess how high is the percentage of sexual deviants among serial killers.
Grey aromanticism and grey asexuality are a fucking thing and it's genuinely a shame fellow aroaces try to shame those of us who are on the grey part of the spectrum into thinking that aroace characters cannot be shipped. Yes... they can. Just like aroace people can be in romantic and sexual relationships of non-traditional kind and still associate themselves with the labels.
Comparing homosexuality, often seen as non-spectral (though many people can argue and we should Not Be Like This About Labels), with spectrums of aromantic and/or asexual attraction is deeply misguided. It makes me wonder if you are fully aware what you're talking about.
*I've been in the fandom since the pilot and I never heard about Viv confirming his aromanticism, just his asexuality. If new information dropped, I'd love to hear it - but if he is just ace, you guys should now be assigning aromanticism to him just because. Romantic asexuals exist, it's normal.
Bestie… how about you check the post you’re quoting?
This is for all aroace characters. Not just some random ass demon (??) from a show I’ve never seen but people seem to be obsessed with…
Sure if they’re called aroace SPEC then go ahead and speculate… but if they’re called AROACE then well kinda different situations lol…
it’s also a different situation if someone is posting shit like “IF I EVER SEE YOU SHIP (canon gay man) WITH (women character) IM BLOCKING YOU SO HARD” and then turn around and say “AROACE IS A SPECTRUM IM NOT BUT OTHERS ARE AND I SAY THIS!!!”
I’ve also stated multiple times that I have far less of an issue with it then some of those posts might make you believe. I’m pretty sure I did a post somewhere about my “here’s how you don’t fuck up” rules.
I can’t quote it but I know some highlights:
-if your aspec you can ship, I know your not going to be gross about it (hopefully)
-acknowledgment of aspec identity in the fic no matter the contents
-if someone is written as sex-repulsed; don’t do the opposite. Same with romance-repulsed
Sincerely,
An aegosexual/aromantic pansexual, who’s been doing this shit for about 2 years now and known about aspec identity/advocated for, for far longer
