    Summary

    Gods can tell when something supernatural is near. It is palpable, an almost solid weight in the atmosphere. When nearing Olympus, the thin mountain air becomes thick and heavy with divinity, pouring out over every gilded surface, glinting in the sunlight. Hermes knows what power feels like unencumbered and free flowing. How it sparks out of the fingertips of heroes, and settles softly like dewdrops in the hair of nymphs.

    This? This was different.

    -

    Hermes has a secret. A place he goes where no one will bother him, a break amidst the whirlwind of his tasks. A place to soothe his aches and worries, where he thought he would never be found.

    Until a man stumbles in. Tall and alluring with black hair and gold eyes, desperate to know him. It's the perfect antidote to the slow poison of knowing his heart's true desire will never love him back. Or is it?

    Summary

    It's not a problem. It really isn't. A mere predicament, like one would expect as the bare minimum of a place like hell.

    But there's an offensive sliver of space between them that Lucifer seems to keep, when they're not doing things that don't explicitly require touching, and he really doesn't know why. Alastor thinks he might die or go mad if he doesn't learn why and learn it soon. And maybe, just maybe, he'd like that space between them to be completely erased while they are at it.

    Not that he would say any of this out loud. Ever. And so he suffers.

    Summary

    Alastor reached out with one hand again, laying it palm-up on the table.

    Lucifer stared. “What?”

    “Dance with me,” Alastor murmured, the smile that curved his mouth as insouciant as anything Lucifer had ever seen. “That is, assuming you are even capable.”

    Weak after Charlie’s birth, Lucifer has no choice but to flee Hell when Adam brings an army of Exterminators and Heavenly Princes to his doorstep. With Lilith dead, Hell in shambles, and Lucifer in no position to right it, he flees to the only place he can think of: Earth. The human world is much different than he remembers, however, and his plan to simply keep himself and Charlie secluded in the first human city he lands in hits a snag when the woman from next door takes an interest in them and the strange radio show that, for months, has been Lucifer’s only mode of lulling his daughter to sleep, bringing her mysterious son into Lucifer's false life and threatening to bring the whole facade crashing down.

    Summary

    The first time he meets the devil, Alastor is twenty-one years old.

    It is not the last time, though it does set the course for everything that follows. It is where it all begins.

    A canon divergence AU, beginning with a very different first meeting.
