    Summary

    Luga just stared at him, her mask of indifference slipping into incredulity. “Sir,” she began slowly, “you are aware that those weddings are real, aren’t you?”

    “What?” Vox said, startling out of his trip down memory lane.

    Vox blinked at Luga. She didn’t blink back.

    With a growing cavern of ice freezing over the pit of his stomach, Vox said, “No, they’re not.”

    “Yes, they are.”

    ~*~

    Or: that time Vox and Alastor got drunk and had a vegas wedding, not realising it was legal.

    Summary

    Part 1:

    "No. Not interested. At all. Ever."

    "You haven't even let me describe my newest accessory."

    Alastor sighed dramatically. "Listen. I know how unreasonably proud you are of... switching out your sausages. But I've had the unfortunate pleasure of seeing the inside of his work briefcase"—he jerked a thumb over his shoulder toward the fluffy pink dancer on the nightclub's main stage—"and so I can assure you, there is nothing you could have wired to your groin that is either novel to me or appealing to me. Enjoy your evening." Alastor spun on one foot and trotted off.

    "It's a microphone."

    Alastor stopped five steps away. "What kind."

    Part 2:

    “Would you look at this masterpiece! The granddaddy of the greatest microphones in the world. That elegant, dramatic design—"

    "Ohhh god," Vox groaned, spreading his knees wider. "I seriously underestimated how hot this was going to be."

    Alastor raised his head from between Vox's thighs to glower.

    "Well?" Vox smirked. "Go on. Call me ‘granddaddy’ again.”

    "You're making it very hard to get into this."

    "Do you know what you're making ‘very hard’—"

    Summary

    Alastor let out a pleased hum and gazed at Vox with a slowly unfurling smile; he could be gracious in his victory, and Vox had already as good as lost.

    “You goddamn cheat,” Vox said, and the distorted buzz as his breathless voice caught was immensely satisfying. “But,” he swallowed and seemed to gather himself again, though his smile was a fritzing, inconstant thing, slightly rueful. “I guess I should say congratulations.”

    “Whatever for?” Alastor asked lazily, tugging Vox slowly, insistently back towards himself; when he brought his knee in, Vox followed - the grip on his foot had only loosened slightly, and seemed to regain confidence as Alastor raised an eyebrow. “Surely you don't think we're done here, Vox, I never took you to be such a quitter!”

    It was just a game - and one that Alastor intended to win.

    The first chapter is the complete fic in Alastor's POV. The second chapter will be the same events from Vox's POV.

    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.
