Summary
Striker kills Stolas during the Harvest Moon festival and his reputation skyrockets. Someone calls a hit on Andrealphus, and he begins the pursuit - but on the way, he stops to take care of another assignment: a fresh sinner, straight from Earth. He's going to kill them, of course.
Except they beg him to, and he's a killer for the thrill, not for givin' people what they want. He will kill them, eventually. He just needs to figure out how to make them suffer, first.
Turns out it's much harder than expected.

Summary
When the half-imp assassin Striker takes out a worrying amount of Ars Goetia Asmodeus calls a meeting among the Sins. Satan reveals he's behind Striker's rise to the top, and it piques Asmodeus' interest; an unafilliated hellborn willing and able to take out big players doesn't often enter the board, and so he gets in contact with him for a potential job.
Striker shows up, of course.
With a sinner in tow.
That... might be a problem.
(NOTE: can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone piece!)

Summary
For Dust’s first deathday, Striker decides to be incredibly chivalrous and takes them to Lust, where they’ve booked an appointment with one of the local facilities cleverly named Pleasure Delights.
“You’re coming with me,” Dust had said, grinning wickedly, when they were planning it. Like it wasn’t obvious. “I want you to watch.”
Striker ends up doing more than just 'watch'.
(can be read and enjoyed as a standalone!)

Summary
Marie wants to spar with Dust. Dust has good reason to decline, but neither Marie nor France believe them. Striker offers his services to show why Dust should absolutely not spar, ever.
*
"I’m not kidding.” They turn on the spot so he nearly walks right into them, pointing a shaking finger up at him. “Do not let me kill you.”
He pushes their hand aside, keenly aware of Marco, Marie and France staring. Softly – the burn of their rage and the ache of their teeth present in his mind – he says, “I won’t let you kill me.”
