Summary
He stared at himself in the mirror, fuck he hated the man looking back at him. He spread lines of coke over the sink in snorted them with practiced ease. He dusted his nose and looked at himself in the mirror once again. He faked a smile to himself, Angel Dust was a persona he was used to by now. All he’s ever done since he was 14 was fake. After almost a century of faking, he’s fucking exhausted of it. He doesn’t even know when he’s being real and when he’s faking it. Maybe Husk was right… maybe he wasn’t being authentic. But after a century of faking, how do you even know who you are anymore?
OR
Angel Dust is trying to be himself, but after so long of being someone else, maybe he doesn't even know who he is anymore

Summary
Valentino had gotten Anthony (Angel Dust) into the high life; snorting cocaine, making money hand over fist, and had even talked about making him into a big star someday. But the problem was, that particular ‘upgrade’ would come at the cost of his soul.
And that was a trade Anthony was not quite willing to make.He knows the only real way to keep his soul out of Val's reach is by tying it to another Overlord. And while the gambling demon was not exactly his number one choice...he may very well be the best one.

Summary
“We don’t just show up together. We make ‘em believe there’s more goin’ on. Give ‘em somethin’ to really talk about. You an’ me…closer than just business partners. It’ll keep ‘em guessin’.”
Husker’s ears flattened slightly, the suggestion making his fur bristle. “You mean…pretend we’re…?” He couldn’t even finish the sentence, the idea so foreign and yet oddly tempting.
Angel shrugged, his grin widening, revealing his sharp teeth. “Call it whatever you want. Pretend, act…a few touches on the chest here, some close whispers there. Whatever, just enough to keep ‘em off balance. Hell, it might even be fun. Besides, kitty…when was the last time you had a li’l excitement in your life?”
Or,
Husker and Angel get into a fake relationship as a quid-pro-quo. Chaos, tomfoolery, and shenanigans ensue.
NOTE: THEY'RE BOTH OVERLORDS IN THIS ALTERNATE UNIVERSE!

Summary
“Fuck rules.” Angel comes to a stumbling stop, jabbing a stiff fingertip into Husk’s chest. Husk swipes his hand away, scowling. Spurred on, Angel continues: “This is Hell. Rules died the minute we did, honey, and you’re too old to act like a martyr.”
Sinners don’t get pregnant in hell—not ever. But Lucifer seems oddly convinced that Angel Dust is, in fact, very.
Now sheltering both his delicate sense of self and a baby he unwittingly commits to carrying, Angel must decipher this concept of (after)life. Where do you balance the realities of pregnancy in Hell? Forget wanting, how do you perform the job that Angel does, with the contract he has, while deciding whether or not raising a damn kid is something you could even do?
You just do it. You figure it out, and you see it through.
On brief Hiatus! Will be back soon.

Summary
Life in Hell is chaotic unless you stick to what you know. In this way, it's unsurprising that many sinners go back to what they essentially did in life and Angel Dust is no exception.
Maybe it's not the most pleasant existence....maybe it's not even tolerable a majority of the time.
But the sex business was what he knew and has been built for since he was alive.
It's all madness, sure, but there was a method to it.
So when he comes across the Gambling Demon Husk, he's thrown off.
Everything the overlord does is just....not how things are done in Angel's world.
It's like he's intentionally doing everything the wrong way.
And Husk doesn't seem to care.
The worst part: Angel likes Husk's way better.

Summary
After decades of abuse under Valentino, Angel forms a plan to escape. It all rides on convincing the famous gambling overlord, Husk, to make a bet for Angel's soul.
Husk knows appearances are everything as an overlord, so he conceals his true self behind his legendary poker face. When he meets Angel, he realizes he’s not the only one hiding behind a mask.
Husk agrees to save Angel from Valentino's clutches, but a regular soul contract just won’t do. Instead, Husk binds Angel's soul to him in demonic matrimony, convincing himself that a fake relationship will be good for publicity and keep his reputation intact.
Angel is pleased with his new arrangement, and his new husband, but Husk is determined to keep it as a business deal. His troubled past and morality quickly begin to clash with his desires, and Angel is nothing if not persistent in his pursuit of something more.
As Angel breaks down the walls of Husk's past to help him heal, and Husk stitches up Angel’s wounds, their bond begins to strengthen. Will it be enough to help them fend off the enemies that wish to sabotage their happy ending?
A fluffy slow burn rom com with feral smut and murder husbands!

It’s softer than before, slower. Husk kisses him like they’ve got all the time in the world.

“You did perfect, baby.” Husk says then, eyes warm and soft and he doesn’t know what to do with it, with the heat spreading through his chest, the stuttering of his own heart.

Summary
Husk is a down on his luck drunk who’s running out of money and second chances when he lands a job at The Mirage, the last queer speakeasy still standing in 1937 New York City. It’s a decent job and nothing more—until Friday night, when he first catches sight of the club’s star dancer, Angel, and an instant attraction threatens to turn his whole world upside down.
Angel is juggling two lives, a mob boss’s son by day and a cabaret dancer under the thumb of a cruel pimp by night. He loves the crowds, the glamor, the excitement, but he pays a heavy price for all of it, a price nobody but the new bartender seems to see.
Both men have the odds stacked against them, but they can’t help but be drawn to each other. Still, after the cards they’ve been dealt, it’s hard to believe in happy endings. Can coked out whores and washed up drunks like them ever really make it out of the gutter?
A Huskerdust-centric human AU set in 1930s New York.

Summary
Huskerdust 1920s-30s Human AU
There was a reason Isle-de-Mont was more commonly known as “Pleasure Island.” Between the casinos, clubs, brothels, and speakeasies avoiding the laws of the mainland safely off the coast, a man could lose more than just his wallet and shoes if he wasn’t too careful. Husk should know, it was where he’d once lost everything.
Angel Dust didn’t get stage fright. He had performed on this stage three nights a week for the past year and could do his act forwards, backwards, and upside down with his head underwater without breaking a sweat. But that wasn’t the problem. The problem was that this was his last performance, and only he knew it.
In which two losers crash into each other’s lives at the wrong time. Or is it the right time?

Summary
Alastor came to the 'Happy Hotel' for some good entertainment.
The residents were all fairly unique. Charlie, Princess of Hell, over-energetic, incredibly naïve, far too quick to trust people. Vaggie, hotel manager, Charlie's partner, not trusting at all, in fact rather distrustful of everyone except the princess. Husker and Niffty, his own contractees who had arrived alongside him four weeks ago.
That left...Angel Dust, the porn star. A rather interesting doe; flirtatious, witty, and, above all, confusing.
Alastor had no idea why the other deer would not leave his mind for even a second.

Summary
“It seems like you’ve run out of things to bet with.” The cat demon said with a slight smirk. Much to Angel’s dismay, it seemed like he was enjoying making the other Overlord writhe.
“Him.” Valentino slurred, pointing at the boytoy on his lap. Husker looked at him, before shifting his gaze back to the moth demon, confused as to why he’d bet someone else.
“I said things—”
“His contract.” Valentino interrupted. “I own his soul, I’m betting his contract.”
___________________________________________________________Or, an alternative universe where Husk is still an Overlord and wins Angel’s soul. After a rocky start, they slowly begin to enjoy each other’s company, allowing for a relationship based on trust to blossom.
