Summary
If Alastor was honest, he suspected he saw the most unfiltered version of the Devil. Lucifer was careful to present himself as a charming, eccentric fool to everyone else - even Charlie. He never raised his voice, never demanded or ordered, always maintaining a disarming façade. But with Alastor, the mask slipped. Their exchanges bristled with tension; Lucifer was quick to snarl, to rise to Alastor’s bait, trading barbs with a sharpness that bordered on feral. It never escalated to violence - Lucifer was too concerned with keeping Charlie happy for that - but it often came dangerously close.
This, however, was something different. There was no audience, no theatrics, no carefully curated persona. It was something raw, unguarded, and deeply unsettling in a way Alastor couldn’t fully comprehend.
or
5 times Lucifer surprised Alastor in the hotel lobby and 1 time Alastor surprised Lucifer there.

Summary
Lucifer has two problems:
1. The celestial energy that keeps him alive is slowly draining away and without a way to staunch the flow it won’t be long until he dies
2. Charlie wants him to do trust exercises with that grimacing radio freak AlastorOne of these things is much worse than the other

Summary
Alastor's been in something of a slump. He's in a job he theoretically loves working under a man he hates, his only real friendship is with a woman who doesn't really know him and who he doesn't want to know him, and he hasn't found it in himself to kill anyone in over a year.
Then, one Wednesday, a new man and his daughter blow into town, and Alastor's life will never be the same again.
He hopes.

Summary
“Every single thing a woman does in life,” Alastor's mother had told him, straightening his bowtie, smoothing his jacket, “it costs her something. Be it with a man, be it at her workplace, in her home…every single thing she does, it costs her. Don’t be what costs us extra, Alastor.”
And he’d sworn by that, time and time again. Women were allies, women were stuck in the same lot as he, disrespected and looked down upon for a simple fact of biology and genetics that they had no say in. Women also had to tread carefully, but more carefully than even he did on unstable footing, and if that meant he took his jacket off to make their pathway less muddy, so be it. What goes around, comes around. Women typically don’t want to betray him, because they’re even more afraid of being betrayed than he is.
Never once has he considered allowing a man to fall into that same category—not that Lucifer is a woman, simply worthy of the same consideration and care—but warily, gradually, that seems to be the case forming here, after reviewing all that he knows about Lucifer Morningstar, and carefully considering every note in his ledger.

Summary
Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.
Faith.
His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.
"I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.
I remember you.
I remember you.
I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.
(A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)

Summary
“It’s an insult!” Nie Mingjue roared. You know, just in case anyone in his vicinity thought that Wen Ruohan sending a directive of marriage on his cousin’s behalf was a friendly gesture.
It wasn’t framed as a suggestion or a coy invitation to negotiations. The letter Nie Mingjue received all but demanded he acquiesce to a match, with the marriage to be arranged posthaste.
“Da-ge.” Huaisang said warningly. It was hard for any of them to forget their home had become a haven for spies but it was important to maintain appearances.
“He means to leash me,” Mingjue continued in a lower but still furious voice. “This is a bridle, not a bride, being offered.”

Summary
Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.
But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.
Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.
