Summary
It takes twenty years for Alastor and Vox's love to grow and when they are about to confess, Valentino gets in the way. Surprisingly, despite his own feelings for Vox, he makes the right choice, allowing Alastor and Vox's romance to develop whilst he shares a strictly professional relationship with the Television Demon.
Things get messy when Vox notices that he's developing feelings for Valentino. Alastor gets jealous, Vox is torn, and Valentino suddenly sees a future for himself and Vox without that irritating Radio Demon.
Alastor's master makes everything more complicated, but a compromise is made between the three Overlords and feelings get hurt, trauma ensues, fights break out, and really they all should have known that Alastor and Valentino wouldn't be very good at sharing Vox.
...Until they are.

Summary
Adam's blow kills Alastor, who wakes back in the hell of 1933. With his powers still bound by his deal, Alastor sets out to regain them - only to end up becoming the new nanny for Princess Charlotte.
That's alright though. Doing things the same way as before would be boring, after all!Series

Summary
Nothing in life is certain, except death, taxes, and Alastor and Vox. Somehow, no matter what universe they’re in, the two manage to find each other.
Alastor is nine years old when V and his fancy family move into the house at the end of his street. They’re not at all how Alastor expects. He’s never met anybody as cold and controlling as V’s parents, and he’s never met anyone he’s liked as much as he likes V. They quickly become friends after Alastor saves V from a cruel punishment in the Louisiana sun, and V finds himself welcomed into a family where nobody yells at each other, nobody gets hit for misbehaving, and where he can be free for the first time in his life.
What kind of men can two boys become when found family and love disrupt the cycle of isolation that creates monsters?
(A queer coming-of-age exploration of how connection, trauma, and environment shape who we become, told with grounded psychological realism. A litfic-style narrative following Alastor and Vox from childhood into adulthood as found family rewrites their trajectories.
A companion piece to It’s Not Murder, imagining what might have happened if the two hadn’t grown up in isolation, but readable as standalone.)

Summary
Something terrible happened to Alastor in his human life and when he wakes up in Hell, he finds himself as prey for the vicious sinners around him. Desperate, he makes a deal he comes to regret.
Vox is fascinated by the deadly, untouchable Radio Demon and somehow manages to charm the man who initially wanted his head. They strike up a friendship that leads to some fluttery feelings on both ends, but before anything can develop, Alastor's deal (and a certain moth-demon) cause complications.
Misunderstandings and broken hearts ensue, and a blossoming romance sours into something messy and hateful.
And then Alastor disappears for 7 years. When he returns, his fight with Adam leaves him wounded and vulnerable, and Vox decides that it's time to put an end to the man who destroyed both his heart and his afterlife.
But his complicated feelings for Alastor won't let him end his life and it turns out that they miss each other more than either of them realised. Can they salvage the ashes of their relationship, or will Valentino and questionable deals destroy them both?

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.

Summary
Alastor and Vox had been lovers once, for a brief period in 1989 - and it had been glorious. Nothing ever lasts forever, though; sadly things ended in tears, leaving them both as bitter rivals.
However, change is on the horizon. One late night phone conversation has altered the course: Alastor, reassessing his life after narrowly avoiding death at the hands of Heaven, is finally ready to try and repair the damage done between them. Together, the two old friends - (old lovers) - navigate a new dynamic. Can they secretly rekindle the love they once had, while also keeping up appearances as nemeses, preventing the rest of Hell from finding out?
(This fic is technically a part two, however this story can stand alone by itself. Part one takes place in the past - reading it is not required to enjoy this story, but it is recommended for the best experience.)
Discontinued but with a fully summarised ending.

Summary
Coming to the conclusion that Valentino might have been drugging him with his venom for the past twelve years, Vox flees to the Hazbin Hotel to collect his thoughts. An injured Alastor is less-than-pleased to see him, but Vox begins remembering fragments of a past he didn't realise he'd forgotten and he's shocked to learn that he once had a very close relationship with his enemy.
The memories come to him faster and faster and soon, Vox realises just how much Valentino stole from him. Alastor isn't as carefully composed as he makes out and things quickly get complicated when past feelings resurface.
And then there's that whole mess with the chain around Alastor's neck. It turns out that the Radio Demon isn't as cold-hearted as everyone thinks, especially when it comes to a certain Television Demon.
