Summary
Post season 1 finale. After Alastor is grievously injured by an enigmatic angel's cursed blade, he only has seven days left to live before he succumbs to his wounds. To further complicate matters, Alastor finds himself in a partnership with his old friend, Vox.
However, both Alastor and Vox's idea of "love" is skewed, and it takes them both down a very dark path when Alastor believes being "desirable" means broken bones, rope burns, bruises littering his skin, and hands crawling all over him—While tall, shadowy figures grin and leer down at him and hold him down as he's forced to relive the worst moments of his life...before he was the Radio Demon...before he was anything more than a humble radio host living in 1930s-era New Orleans.

Summary
Vox has all of Hell at his finger tips. He's powerful, successful, and has just about everything he could ever want, everything except the one person he wants the most. This line of thinking plus a bit of a manic episode leaves Lucifer worried that his electricity-bringer may turn the lights off permanently, and the King breaks his own rules to keep Vox alive.
Vox learns that work and the Radio Demon is not all there is to the afterlife, and after a few years in hiding he's doing better for himself. But of course nothing good lasts forever, especially in a place like Hell, and the TV Overlord's life comes crumbling down around him again when a familiar signal eventually comes knocking against his once more.
Can Vox keep the happiness he's so desperately holding onto? Or was he doomed from the very start to always fall at the hands of the Radio Demon?

“I’m not lying,” Ashur emphasized, moving himself from his comfortable position and sitting up to properly face Tarquin. “I am lucky to be with you, Quin."
“Yeah, so lucky to be buggered by a Soporati. The Magisters would be so proud.”
“Why must you be like this?” Ashur asked.
“Like what? Honest?”

Summary
The last tones of a lazy jazz tune wafted through the room, bittersweet and full of longing, only occasionally permeated from the crackling in the fireplace when a log sparked up. It was the only light source of the room, aside from the conjured bayou and the few fireflies there, and Alastor wouldn't have liked it any other way. At least not on this particular night.
He took a sip from the heavy glass in his right hand. The rye burned on his tongue, in his throat, distracting him from the aching in his chest, where Adams axe caused a terrible wound that still bled every now and then. But the drink did something else as well. It reminded the Radio demon of better days in the past, of nights full of laughter and dancing and scheming. They had plans back then, plans and dreams and so much to talk about. It was fun while it lasted. But as always in hell... Good things did not last forever.Basically it's just about an old man, looking back and asking himself what went wrong.

Summary
Saw moodooivy’s Silentstatic week on tumblr and had to give it a try. Not my usual ship but decided to switch it up for a challenge. Of course I heard about it after it already started so I’m playing catch-up.
Day 1: Sentimental/Separation
Day 2: Affection/Attraction
Day 3: Love Song/Slow Dance
Day 4: Dreams/Nightmares
Day 5: Voodoo Doll/Love Shrine
Day 6: Protective/Jealous
Day 7: Confession/Rejection
Will be one continuous story with each prompt as a different chapter.Alastor isn’t sure how it happened but he has fallen in love with his friend. The only problem is Vox is only interested in one thing and romance isn’t it.
Will be a sad, soft-Alastor story. I promise there will be a happy ending.

Summary
This takes place directly after the extermination we see in the finale of HH. Alastor is wounded by Adam, and his staff is broken.
**
There isn't a day that passes that Vox doesn't think about Alastor. In Hell, you can only get so close to love. Sinner's don't downright reject the idea, but in a place as violent, and unpredictable as the down under, most don't dare to venture down that territory. When Vox first fell, he met the radio demon, and he fell even harder. What he didn't think was possible, was that man loving him back..
But, nothing good lasts, especially not in Hell, and it seemed even after many perfect decades of their 'arrangement,' it was doomed to fall apart. Alastor disappeared without a word, and now, fast forward seven years to the present, 'the radio demons back in town--' and everything's changed. In short: Both Alastor and Vox are upset at each other for different reasons. Vox wants closure and an explanation; and when he can finally get one, he gets more than he bargained for. Vox can't move on, and tries to recreate the past; only to find that the only way to heal is looking forward. -
