Summary
Lucifer isn’t used to anyone challenging him. It’s exhilarating, really, it’s fun, Alastor’s suicidal tendency to antagonize anyone and anything, to pick fights with creatures far, far stronger than himself.
And if that impudence leads to lines crossed and a demon in his bed—well, Lucifer's not entirely opposed to the idea.

Summary
He trusts Alastor. To a degree. It fluctuates, that degree.
It’s been on an upward trend despite his best intentions. He's opening his shriveled, disused heart to a common sinner and he’s—he’s surprised by how naturally it comes.
In which Lucifer and Alastor play a very long, very atypical game of twenty questions.

Summary
In the days before humans, angels possessed a unique ability to tether themselves to the essence of the universe around them, and to each other. It brought them strength and harmony, and helped hold together creation itself.
Today, no one has ever heard of a 'soul bond', and Lucifer is totally fine with that. Too old to even be a myth, the very concept is relegated to the dusty shelves at the back of the oldest Seraphims' minds.
Until Charlie comes along and asks Lucifer to heal Alastor, that is.
(AKA The 'accidentally married/bonded' fic no one asked for but we all sorely need).

Summary
Alastor, a naiad rather fond of venturing into the woods, is caught slaying a deer favoured by Artemis. His father is sent to consult an oracle, to determine appropriate punishment. On his return, he exiles Alastor to the mountains – where his real punishment, his monstrous, fated spouse-to-be, will come find him at nightfall.
Alastor goes as bidden, and rapidly discovers that whatever monstrous traits his promised one may have, he may not lay his eyes upon. His fiance treats him well, all things considered, appearing in the evening to keep Alastor company at night, and vanishing at dawn. He only asks for one thing in return: that Alastor never seek to see him.
An Eros (Greek: Love) and Psyche (Ancient Greek: Soul) retelling.

Summary
Cassettes are about thirty years after Alastor’s time, he knows. Lucifer’s lips pull into a wobbly smile, thinking of Alastor, of how he must have thought CDs were just a bit too far in terms of technological advancement. Hell, Alastor would have loved cassettes had he been a radio host during their heyday. Cutting off some poor teenage boy’s mixtape in the middle of a titular love song to shout out the name of the radio station?
Yeah.
Yeah, he would have loved that.
Lucifer finishes collecting the fallen cassettes and putting them back into their box, picking up the whole thing and bringing it over to the desk. Tonight's a night of indulgences, anyway. What’s one more?
Lucifer idly wonders just where going back to his old lover’s place of work to record himself talking through the feelings of betrayal and abandonment on the old equipment falls on his list of sub-par coping mechanisms.
