Or, post-S2: Episode 11 (Mastermind) but with Lucifer’s reaction.

Summary
"So…" the man, Shouyou, drawled cheerfully, "...This should be fun!"
Kageyama had the sudden premonition that he was going to regret playing an interactive virtual reality game with no prior gaming experience and only a vague memory of the bad horror movies his sister used to watch many, many years ago.
"Yeah... fun," he mirrored.
---
Or, the one where Kageyama is not a party person, so it doesn't take much to convince him to play Kenma's new horror game instead. Wait, the ghosts can hear him talking? Yeah okay, this is a bad, bad idea. He's going to die.

Summary
“We need him.”
In the wake of turning against and defeating the Saporians, Varian realizes that those words can only mean one thing: parole. His freedom, in exchange for his services.
Varian has no plans to endanger his newfound tentative freedom. He'll do anything to stay out of the dungeons and away from Andrew, anything, and that means doing whatever Rapunzel wants.
So what if he never gets enough sleep? So what if he flinches every time someone raises a hand too quickly? So what if his father constantly looks at him with worried eyes?
He’s fine. It’s fine.
Everything’s fine.

Summary
Something is wrong in Hell- other than the usual- and Lucifer has to take it upon himself to get to the bottom of it. But when old faces from Heaven pay him a visit, things are turned on their head as Lucifer starts to realize things go way deeper than he first thought. As the horrific implications begin to build, Lucifer must do everything he can to protect Charlie, the hotel, Hell, and perhaps even Heaven. Old foes he thought long put to rest rise again and threaten everything he's ever known. With unexpected allies, Lucifer must learn the truth about what is threatening to destroy everything Heaven and Hell stand for, and most importantly-to stop it before it becomes too late.
This will be a mix of lore, including the Cthulhu Mythos.

Whoa-o-o-o. This fic, man! WOW! Reading this is the absolute best use of my time, and I'm not saying that lightly (I mean, have you SEEN the word count?). I've kept coming back week after week for the past 2 years, so definitely take a gander on this one if you're looking for an epically fun fic that masters snarky character interactions, complex and entertaining lore drops, and genuinely fluffy heart-to-hearts.
(The last scene in Chapter 20 is my favorite but there are soooo many to choose from; but that one is for sure my comfort chapter haha. NO MORE EXTERMINATIONS! Maybe try to extort two different dumbasses next time, Sera! Yess! Chapter 115 is ALSO fire btw. We're getting to the penultimate chapter and it is SO SO SO EXCITING, whoo hoo!)

Summary
A few months after stabilizing the Circus and coming to terms with their permanent life there, the gang agrees to bring Caine back- on the condition that Kinger rewrites his code and removes his power over the world.
Caine awakens to find himself on relatively equal footing with humans for the first time in his life. Can he learn to listen and understand them now that he's no longer bound to his program's original purpose? Will the humans ever be able to truly forgive him for everything he's done to them? Can anything truly change?
Featuring Caine trying human things, found family bonding, and a healthy dose of angst while everyone processes their various traumas and learns to accept this new world they're making together. Or tries to, anyway.

Join Caine as he tries to acclimate to his new honorary-player status and explores one human-crafted Glitch City, trying out new things like food! Like waiting at stoplights! Like
getting hit by a truck, Jax you little twerpthunderstorms! Like being included on an adventure! Like being... loved? Last one pending, I hope. ;) -

Or, Caine gets
buried aliveput in the box and has a Bad Time, until Pomni and Kinger show up.His stage. They were under his stage. They'd trapped him under his stage. Where he'd announced his adventures everyday (his systems continue to hum angrily at him at his lack of any) and his humans got progressively more irritated with him. Where he poured his heart out with endless ideas, hoping to please at least one of them. Scratch had placed his failsafe prison under his stage.
Caine doesn't know why that detail was sticking out to him so much.
Every continuation of this series is another gem to add to my treasure chest of re-reads.
