Summary
Reformed serial killer Alastor de Mon has completely reinvented himself. With a modest career as a pianist in London’s nightclub scene, his main concern is how best to capitalise on his friendship with Lady Morningstar, daughter of the Duke of Pride. But Alastor’s schemes to inveigle himself into upperclass society are thrown into chaos when an unknown man has the audacity to die on their doorstep. Now all the wrong people are asking questions, and the crime puts Alastor on a collision course with his murderous past. Worst of all, the investigation forces him to socialise with Charlie’s father—a man who brings out all of Alastor’s homicidal urges.
Lucifer Morningstar, thirteenth Duke of Pride, had a charmed life as a renowned detective, right up until it all went to hell. Battling depression and other demons, the last thing he needs is a smarmy American chumming up to his daughter—especially not one with such obvious secrets. But with one man dead and the lives of many more threatened, circumstances—and a pair of handcuffs—forces Alastor and Lucifer to investigate the case together.
Can Alastor evade his past before Lucifer’s death wish kills them both? Or will this be his final waltz with death?

Summary

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.

Summary
After the battle at the Hotel Lucifer calls on the Overlords for a meeting.
Lucifer sits at the head of the table like he is sitting upon a throne. Alastor had overheard residents whisper about the king’s full form witnessed when he defeated Adam. People had called it monstrous, a harbinger of death, and the true form of the Devil. But the demon had not realized how horrifyingly beautiful it was.
“We can defend ourselves.” Lucifer’s grin stretches further and Alastor thinks this is how people view his own smile.
It’s so quite a pin could be heard if dropped, the small man looks around the room excitedly.
“We can defend ourselves!” The king howls and spreads his arms out theatrically when no one says anything.
A story of a darker Lucifer, Holy War, betrayal, political marriage, slow burn and Alastor trying his best to navigate it all!
