Summary
The night the Physical Kids’ Cottage burns down, Quentin is alone in his room, sulking. He could have been at the party downstairs. He’d been invited to the party downstairs. But ever since the... incident with Eliot, things have been weird between them. Quentin hadn’t wanted to mope around the edges of the room and pine for simpler days. And so he’s alone, forced to escape through his bedroom window, as the magical flames tear the Cottage down to the studs.
In the aftermath, Quentin, Eliot and the other Physical Kids are left to pick up the pieces, both literally and metaphorically, of what happened that night. And in Quentin’s case, of what happened months earlier, when he’d humiliated himself and lost the closeness of the most important friendship of his adult life.
Luckily, even if things can never go back to the way they were, that doesn’t mean they can’t be fixed. And in the meantime, there’s a shortage of bedrooms on campus in the absence of the Cottage...

Summary
Lucifer has always kept his distance from sinners. It's what keeps him (relatively) sane — if he gets too close, he is haunted by visions of the tragic mortal lives that landed them in Hell.
But in his new life at the Hotel, it is more difficult than ever to stay away — and when it comes to light that his daughter's insufferable facilities manager is gravely wounded, it falls to Lucifer to deliver his soul from Death.
In so doing, he falls headfirst into the sins, past lives, and heartbreaks of the one human whose contradictions he is powerless to resist.

Summary
“What is it?” Alastor says. “What's happened?”
Lucifer shakes his head. He doesn’t have the words yet to explain the gravity of his mistake. Alastor pulls Lucifer back into his arms, and Lucifer still doesn’t say anything — he just burrows deeper into Alastor’s embrace.
Soon, he’ll need to face them all. He’ll need to explain to Alastor, and the rest of Hell, what all this means:
That Tax Season has begun.
____________It is said that two things in this universe are inescapable: Death and taxes.
Lucifer is spectacularly bad at coping with both.

Summary
The Red Hood is a mystery. Someone that came into Gotham out of nowhere and immediately carved out a piece of Black Mask's territories for himself, establishing himself almost immediately as someone to be respected.

Summary
Alastor can admit, in the silence of his own head as he walks away from the first official overlord meeting since the Extermination Day that Wasn’t, that Charlie MIGHT have been right. He probably should have stayed home.
Not that he’d tell the girl that under pain of torture - that kind of hand-wringing and fretting wasn’t the sort of thing that should be encouraged in anyone, least of all the Princess of Hell.
“Al, I just have such a bad feeling -”
“Of course you do, darling - it’s a meeting of the overlords of Hell. By definition, no good can come of it”
“What if they” - she made an inarticulate gesture that reminded him painfully of her father - who was, by the way, sitting across the parlor from them, pretending to sketch, pretending NOT to listen, even though Alastor saw him roll his eyes far too often for a man sketching rubber ducks. “What if it’s some kind of -”
“Charlie, dear, the overlords of Hell are like starving wild dogs.” He gave her a pat on the head in sharp contrast to his words and then permitted it when she angrily swatted his hand away. “It’s always at least BORDERING on a trap. I intend to go anyway.”

Summary
He trusts Alastor. To a degree. It fluctuates, that degree.
It’s been on an upward trend despite his best intentions. He's opening his shriveled, disused heart to a common sinner and he’s—he’s surprised by how naturally it comes.
In which Lucifer and Alastor play a very long, very atypical game of twenty questions.
