Summary
"I tell you to keep going, not because it's easy. Not because it doesn't hurt. I tell you to keep going because there's no other way. To stop is to die. Life is in motion. In growth. In change. Life is in seeking and in finding. Life is in redemption. Each moment is a new birth. A new chance to come back, to get it right. A new chance to make it better." -Yasmin Mogahed
If angels can't be redeemed, then who can?
An angel falls from grace (by choice). A father deals with divorce (not by choice). Their stories intertwine, and maybe they'll find the forgiveness they need through each other.

Companion piece to my fic, Life is in Redemption (LiiR), for all the drabbles, one-shots, guest features, and other musings I come up with! These will be things like extended scenes, alt-POVs, side stories, or anything else that didn’t really fit in with the main plot.

Summary
The physical appeal had never registered for Alastor, him finding it much too uncomfortable and filthy for his tastes. But the power? The way lust clouds the minds of the masses and makes them bend to his every whim? The way his trademark and distinct crooning could be used to rip cries of pain and pleasure from a soul through nothing but sound alone? To intensify the whole affair by depriving his little darling of her sight and making his voice her whole world? Now that, that was appealing.

Summary
Jon has been thrown back in time.
In his own body again, but world-weary, softened, EXTREMELY powerful, and all around done with this shit.
Obviously he has to prevent the apocalypse, and his friends' deaths. And if his experience the first time around taught him anything at all, the world really is just avatars endlessly throwing themselves at each others' throats. He knows he's resigning himself to a life playing the part of the Puppet Master, and he shudders to think how close to Elias he's becoming.
So no. Instead, he decides to save the world... with the power of friendship-under-threat-of-death.
He makes a group chat. Hijinks ensue.

Summary
Everyone in Hell has a mark that ties them to a soulmate. Angel Dust never planned to find his, but when he does, he only has one thing on his mind: he needs to find a way to break the bond before the Vees intervene and take care of it themselves.
Thankfully, when your soulmate is the Radio Demon, he is more than happy to find a way to separate the two of you.
A soulmate AU from the perspective of a demi aroace author.

Summary
What's worse than dying? Going to Hell and not remembering why. A fortuitous encounter with the Radio Demon in the wake of your demise leads to a misguided deal, trading freedom for protection. Suffice it to say, you're a little upset when soon after he disappears. And just when you thought you got your afterlife together, Alastor comes back to yank at the chain around your neck.
If keeping up with your clandestine life as the most acclaimed erotica writer in Pentagram City wasn't challenging enough, you are dragged into the wonderful madness of the Hazbin Hotel. The more secrets you have to hide, the more tangled you become in the crossfire between power-hungry overlords and the deeper you find yourself in a second grave of your own making.
Never would you have expected to make a connection with the depressed, charming King of Hell himself. Nor did you expect your relationship with Alastor to become this intense and convoluted, least of all for him to show such possessiveness when, for him, you have always been nothing but a pet, a toy, a pawn.
One of them you feel could be your ruin, the other perhaps mutual salvation, and together they might make you burn.
