    Summary

    The Akatsuki sends its three youngest members across a channel for what was supposed to be a straightforward job. However, a price on your head often means dangers in your past. As these dangers catch up with the Akatsuki, loyalties are tested, trust is betrayed, and the success of the contract lies on the shoulders of two boys, one unable to trust, and the other becoming increasingly struck by the plight of the people they’re helping.

    Summary

    The world doesn't make space for people like Valentino. But that's okay; he'll just carve that space out for himself until the world finally yields to him.

    When he first drops into Hell, Valentino is just as downtrodden and lost as the other sinners, focused on finding a quick fix and a safe place to sleep. Violence is a useful tool, though, and Valentino soon learns that he can make a heaven out of Hell if he's willing to be ruthless enough.

    Or: Hell is not kind to the newly-fallen, and Valentino fights to make sure damnation is the best thing that ever happened to him.

    Summary

    Val may be a fucking monster, but he’s a monster that Angel knows. He’s a monster that Angel understands. Angel isn’t stupid; he made the choice to sign with Valentino because he was the only overlord that made sense for Angel’s lifestyle — for what Angel wanted out of Hell.

    But now you’re tellin’ him that his soul is owed to some random fucking jackass who swindled Val in a game of cards? How can that be fair? How can that be something that’s just allowed to happen?

    (In which, Angel's contract is acquired by a new overlord — Hell's very own Gambling Demon, and they both get more from the relationship than either of them bargained for.)

    Summary

    The year is 1989. Vox and his closest friend Alastor have maintained a strong allegiance for decades. Thus far, Vox has been the Radio Demon’s biggest admirer and protégé, always more than a few steps behind; always wanting more than friendship. The 80s bring with them a new era for televisual media - TV is finally becoming king, threatening to cause a rift between the two friends. Vox, desperate to keep Alastor in his life, doubles his romantic efforts. Alastor, desperate to maintain control and power, decides to indulge them.

    A story in which Vox finally gets the man of his dreams: a flighty wicked demon who loves to push his buttons. A story about true friendship, true love, even - but also about how it eventually has to end in tears. A story about how there may be potential to salvage it, after all. Only time can tell.

    28/Dec/25 - Fic is currently being edited chapter-by-chapter for some refinements & minor structure improvements. Progress: 3/16 chapters done

    Summary

    So, Vox has amnesia. Allegedly.
    Under different circumstances, he’d almost be inclined to believe it. But considering the fact that he woke up in the Hazbin Hotel of all places, surrounded by weirdos who adamantly claim to be his ‘friends’, he’s certain that it's all a humiliating prank. Or an elaborately drawn-out execution (because the radio demon sure loved his entertainment).
    Then the overlord's memories start coming back, and he finds himself secretly hoping for the latter. After all, Vox, the mastermind behind the Vees, one of the most powerful overlords in all of Hell, willingly going to this rinky-dink hotel to 'redeem himself'? Absolutely not.
    No, he came here for a reason, and redemption certainly wasn’t it.
    So, what was it?
