Summary
Lucifer has always kept his distance from sinners. It's what keeps him (relatively) sane — if he gets too close, he is haunted by visions of the tragic mortal lives that landed them in Hell.
But in his new life at the Hotel, it is more difficult than ever to stay away — and when it comes to light that his daughter's insufferable facilities manager is gravely wounded, it falls to Lucifer to deliver his soul from Death.
In so doing, he falls headfirst into the sins, past lives, and heartbreaks of the one human whose contradictions he is powerless to resist.

Summary
“So, Rosie.” Alastor straightened himself in his seat, taking his teacup and indulging in a sip. “Now that you’ve heard the tale, I come to you for advice on what to do with our little serpentine king. Please, enlighten me: why is Lucifer Morningstar acting so strangely around me?”
Rosie took a deep breath and set her cup on its saucer. “How’s the tea, darling?” she asked, hands folded on her lap.
Alastor blinked once, then twice. “Why, it’s lovely, as per usual.”
Rosie smiled sweetly. “Good. Not too bitter?”
“Not at all.”
“And how’re the fingers, dear? They taste alright?”
“They’re simply delightful.”
“Is your chair nice and comfortable?”
“The comfiest.”
“You’re all relaxed?”
“I’ve never felt so at home.”
“Lucifer is in love with you.”
Alastor spat out the tea he’d been drinking, which was quickly followed by a round of coughing so harsh you would think he was actively dying.
—
Alastor has a chat with Rosie regarding Lucifer’s odd behavior.
Rosie finds it all quite amusing.
Alastor does not.

Summary
Alastor has very few problems—or at least, very few problems unable to be solved by a well-placed knife. That is, until a murder is committed by someone other than him, endangering all his carefully laid schemes. Now the police are asking awkward questions and if they don't catch this abject amateur soon, Alastor could be in actual trouble.
But homicide isn't the only mystery surrounding Pride Manor. Following the unexplained disappearance of the Duchess of Pride seven years earlier, the estate has been abandoned. The eccentric duke has vanished, leaving behind only a recalcitrant gardener and a broken-hearted daughter. Despite his best efforts to the contrary, Alastor finds himself embroiled in two generations of Morningstar drama. It's enough to drive anyone to homicide—oh, wait.
Alastor is much better at committing crimes than solving them, and even his allies would be just as happy to see him behind bars as the actual culprit. Can he detective his way out of this—or has Alastor finally bit off more than he can chew?
Inspired by the vibe of notherpuppet's RadioApple Human AU, and the art of sketchyvero and notetaker, this is intended to be some nonsense with a classic murder mystery flavour.

Ukai Keishin was not—and had no interest in becoming—a father. He’d somehow become responsible for fourteen children regardless.

Summary
Lan Xichen is a broken man no longer able to trust his own judgement. Jiang Wanyin was broken long ago, and he healed... badly. The cultivation world is off-balance, and it hasn't gone unnoticed.
In the middle of an icy winter, a comet appears in the sky. Is it a warning? A celestial dragon? Have the gods, weary of waiting for cultivators to sort out their own mess, decided to take action?
Over the course of three seasons, the two sect leaders are forced closer as they attempt to appease the gods and rebalance their land. Perhaps, in the course of their adventures, they will also find a way to rebalance themselves.
TLDR: In which a fiery plot device in the sky forces two lonely, broken men to sort their shit out and find everything they'd been lacking in each other.
