…but a perfect song for Huskerdust would be Evermore by Dan Stevens from the live-action Beauty and the Beast.
Every lyric HITS
• It’s giving Husk being so incredibly proud of Angel getting to go to heaven.
• BUT, it’s also giving Husk “waiting by an open door” at the hotel’s bar alone fooling himself that Angel will “walk right in” and unwind with him at his bar like old times, as Husk stares forlorn into a drink with another he’s made beside him out of habit.
• It’s giving Husk seeing the ghosts of him and Angel around him like snapshots in time - angry, then wistful, then content, then irritated again. Closing his eyes but Angel is “…still there.”
• It’s giving Husk clawing his head at the memories so blissful yet almost painful to witness, as he slowly begins to realise what the hollowness he’s feeling actually is.
• It’s giving Husk slowly filling with understanding, warmth and vigour, embracing this newfound discovery as he hops over the bar and moves through the hotel with a pace we’ve never seen before towards the roof. He has to see the sky. He has to get as close to it as his chains permit to. To see the faint pearly gates of heaven. To…make use of the small time he has left. Because even though Husk knows Angel has “flown far beyond” his “reach…he’s never out of sight.”
• It’s giving Husk atop the hotel with his face dropping slightly as he sees Angel “…fade from view”, thinking “…of what might have been” if he hadn’t “realised the truth too late.”
• It’s giving Husk then braving a sad smile with hand outstretched to the sky where a phantom Angel rests his cheek against Husk’s palm, and they share a tender dance akin to Loser, Baby with a twirl and dip. And “As the long dark nights draw in”, Husk accepts his feelings, that Angel will always “be part of everything” he is…
…as he sings FOR EVERMORE atop the highest peak of the hotel.
For, oh, how lovely it was - albeit short - to have gained the ability to love again, than to have never regained it at all…
Hiiii ( ╹▽╹ ) sorry I didn't finished it, I'm 100% sure my computer was going to explode if I added one more frame.
For my Overlord Angel au I wanted to keep that kind of enemies to lovers, where at the start of their relationship Angel keeps being fake and putting on a mask he created due to thinking he's not as powerful as the other overlords, Wich annoys husk bc he sees right through him (as always) but then one day husk sees Angel defend one of his workers.
he does not stand people being rude to them because most are former sex workers, friends and people that suffered and he took under his protection, that now considers family. And he is VERY overprotective with his family.
Angel wreaks that bitch. My boy husk? Instantly fell. He fell HARD.
And angel is just like, damn I ruined my chance, now he knows I'm crazy :(
Husk: Not sure if you're going for 'pretty crazy' or 'crazy pretty', but either way I'd say you nailed it.
Angel Dust: Phhfft. Oh you. *turns away to hide his blush*
...
Angel Dust: *bitching about his latest work gig* ... and then Val turned around and blamed ME for the deal falling through! Can you believe that!? It's not like I could make the contract happen just by shakin' my ass! Tho, sure I could have put more effort into cozyin' up to that sleazy guy he was trying to swindle, but-
Husk: Legs, I've seen you freeze a guy's brain with a wink. You got looks that can destroy a man's wallet and ten men's sanity at twenty paces. If Val can't work with THAT, that's not on you.
Angel Dust: *tearing up slightly* Th-thanks, Whiskers...
...
Husk: *drunk and rambling* 'Angel'. Heh. Super ironic how your name turned out so fitting in the end.
Angel Dust: Huh?
Husk: Haven't had much of a reason or will to pray lately. Or- ever, really. But the first time you smiled like you actually meant it, you damn near put me on my knees.
Angel Dust: ...Guh. *angel_dust.exe has stopped working*
-Later-
Angel Dust: *pacing, gesticulating, pulling his hair* -And he just keeps dropping these things like they're old gum wrappers!
Cherri: Damn, bitch. You gonna lock him down or should I make a pass at him and see what comes out?
Angel Dust: Traitor! Faithless harlot! Now shut up and tell me what dress should I wear, I NEED to knock him speechless or I'll never be able to ask him out...
-Meanwhile-
Husk: Hey Charlie.
Charlie: Hi Husk! What's up?
Husk: I just wanted to let you know that you were right. I do feel much better ever since I started saying what I actually think instead of covering it with cynicism.
Hazbin Hotel/Angel Dust AU that I can't stop thinking about! This is not completely thought out, kinda just jumbled thought threads.
Warning: The usual stuff that's talked about/discussed/implied when it comes to Angel Dust's line of work
Takes place years before before Charlie Opens the hotel but the timeline isn't super important other than that.
Another extermination has come and gone and Angel Dust is expecting another grueling year trapped under Valintino's thumb, with a higher probability of it sucking even more since the sleez has solidified himself as an overlord. But then, he gets to the studio and Valintino is nowhere to be found. That's not nessicarrily an odd thing, the stronger Valintino got the less he showed up. But then the news spreads; Valintino got extermated.
Valintino is gone and dead, meaning Angel's contract is null and void. And Angel...Angel doesn't know what to do. He's worked for Valintino for so long, and sure he hated the dick but he never expected that he would actually be free. What did he do now? What could he do now?
He still needed a job, money, to take care of himslef so he wouldn't end up exterminated next year, so he stuck to stripping and porn(maybe a few singing gigs if he could get them), it's kinda all he knew in terms of making money, and no way in Hell(pun intended) was he going to crawl back to his father. Luckily he had Cherri to rely a bit on, so he wasn't completely alone in such a sudden change. He refused to sign another contract, but because he was still so well known the people he worked with were fine with that as long as they got a taste of the business Angel brought in.
Things changed when he saw a John getting handsy and aggressive with another demon, and stepped in. He didn't need to step in, but seeing the demon getting ab*sed and hurt like he used to snapped something in him. From then on, Whever he saw something like that happen, Angel would step in, even if he had to shoot up the f*ckers.
Before long he was known for more than just a Pornstar, he made a name for himself as the Pornstar who took care of others in the buisness, and soon demons were coming to him. They wanted his protection, even willing to sign a contract to him.
At first, Angel was vehemently against it. He didn't want to be like Val and dealing in sould never sounded all that interesting to him. But, eventually, after one too many demons came to him bruised up, and beaten, he agreed. His contracts were pretty simple, he got a percentage of their earnings, not a lot mind you, like 10-20%, and in exchange he'd beat the shit out of anyone that tried to hurt them. Biggest of all, they could pull out of the contract whenever they wanted, and If he hurt them, the contract would immediately be void.
When word got out that Angel was taking contracts, more and more s*x workers came in droves.
His own income, on top of what he got from the contracts, allowed Angel to buy an entire apartment building, which many of his contractors took up residence in. From rent and working hard Angel was able to buy Val's old studio, gut it, burn it down, and rebuild it from the brimstone up! He started making his own movies(P*rn and nonp*rn alike) in the studio and more people would come, wanting fame and fortune.
Slowly, Angel was started building his own territory, filling the power gap that Val left, except stronger since his employees actually liked him.
After years of hard work, and shooting *ssholes, Angel became an Overlord.
Basically:
-Angel Dust pulling himself up and protecting others in the industry from what he went through
-Slow Burn Angel unintentionally becoming an Overlord(Maybe making a pact with Cherri and them working together similarly to the Vees' situation?)
-Angel is a good boss and people love working with/for him
-Angel still works in porn and such, but hes calling the shots now, and even acts in nonporny stuff because he loves acting, singing, and dancing(love a Creative King)
-Eventually Charlie does seek Angel out to be her first patron to the Happy/Hazbin Hotel. Since he already has a reputation for protecting those under him, she thought he'd be the best option, and his position as a Overlord is also a big selling point.
-Angel also having a preexisting connection to Alastor and/or Husk sounds hilarious
If Angel Dust and Husk's romantic relationship went public in Hell, every demon would be making memes like:
And Angel would be so fucking mad about it!
He'd make sure to go into rooms first and hype Husk up before he followed. "Everyone get ready to meet my handsome, wonderful, dazzling boyfriend! Clap for him or I'll fucking shoot you!"
Cherri: Ha! Pentious! I told you I knew it! You owe me 100 bucks!
Sir Pentious: We all love Angel! You should've asked if he was IN love with him.
Husk: I thought that was implied.
Sir Pentious:
Cherri:
Husk, looking straight at Cherri: Congrats kid, you just won 100 bucks.
Niffty, in the corner: *exploding because this means even more inspiration for her Huskerdust fics*
Angel, in the other room: *having a mental breakdown because Husk is apparently in love with him and Sir Pentious claimed everyone loves him. And now it’s conflicting with a 100 years of being told he’s unlovable*
Do y’all know what we’re missing in the Overlord Husk AU genre?
A fic (or fics ; 3 ) where Angel goes to Overlord Husk himself to get free from Valentino.
Imagine: Angel is fed up with Valentino, the studio, the clients, the whole Valentino & Vox thing, the entirety of the Vee’s operation.
So one day, after he gets off work, Angel disguises himself, expertly swipes a pack of cards from Husk’s casino as he walks in, sweet talks his way into learning what room Husker’s in, sneaks his way into a meeting with Husker.
He takes off bits of his disguise, You know who I am?
Doesn’t everyone, kid? Your face is plastered everywhere.
Angel grins, Most everyone, but never hurts to ask.
Angel starts shuffling the deck and Husk thinks Angel wants to play a round, but Angel’s playing an entirely different game.
He tells Husker what he knows about him, his casino, how he plays in soul contracts. Doesn’t bother with his sob story, Husker knows who he is, he can put the pieces together himself. Angel pulls out the King of Hearts from the deck.
You’re the King of Souls, baby.
And what? You’re trying to become my Queen? Because I’m not interested-
No, don’t be silly, Sweetheart, I wanna be your ace.
Husk raises an eyebrow, mildly interested.
Angel starts dealing out cards for a round of poker.
Do you realize how many people can’t shut up after a night with me? It’s like their brain turns to mush or something and they can’t remember why they shouldn’t be talking ‘bout certain stuff. I know things about Overlords and their operations and their right hands and their subordinates, etc etc that no one else does.
Husker stares at Angel. He’s considering everything he’s heard.
Husk flips over his cards, he has a pair of Kings.
I can get you any information you seek, help you with expansion, provided additional in-house appeal. I can make you so much money, bring in so much business, make sure you always have the right cards to play, all you have to do…
Angel flips over his hand to show a pair of aces.
is win my soul.
Husker grins at him, thrilled by the game and intrigued by the proposal.
Angel grins back.
Do we have a deal?
And then later they fall in love, he frees Angel, and they become THE power couple of hell 💋
You may or may not have seen my HH stuff on Tiktok 😭😭
I wanted to post my Hazbin redesigns on here one bc l've literally been neglecting Tumblr and I feel bad and two, they've been getting a ton of love on Tiktok so I wanted to share them here as well!
I wanted to once again thank all of you for the incredible amount of support you've given me over the past few weeks! It's insane, I couldn't be more grateful to all of you🙏💖
What do you get when the former Gambling Demon has a daughter with the one and only Angel Dust? Well, you get a four armed cat that's a master con artist even by Hell's standards.
Chrissy works at a seedy carnival where she does Tarot and Palm Readings for anxious Sinners. She can read your future, even change it 'round some too. You may be destined to come to great harm in the next month, but with this amulet she's willing to sell you, you shall have lady luck on your side. A mysterious force cloaked in shadow schemes for your downfall, but if you take a teaspoon of this elixir once a day, you will find all attacks on you redirected. She can give you anything you need for the right price.
When Angel and Husk met their baby girl, they knew they had to do right by her. Unlike Henroin, Angel made sure that his child never questioned his love for her, and Husk always made time for her to make sure she never felt ignored and worthless. Chrissy learned many things from her dads growing up, like how to manipulate cards to win any game, and how to win an unfair fight. "Always bring a gun to the knife fight, baby." "Actually, bring four."
Chrissy loves her dads and hopes to make them proud every day. Even if she isn't confined to the Pride Ring like them and her aunties, she stays close to visit them often in her adulthood. Angel always greets her with a many-armed hug, followed by a wing around the shoulders from Husk.
