A Radioapple SpyxFamily AU idea dump
It seems that I´ve become incapable of writing down my ideas into a decent story, so I will just dump everything into this post - and whoever wants to pick up these pieces and string it together into a coherent story is welcome to take them and run with it. I just need to get it out of the system otherwise I´m gonna mad here.
Setting:
SpyxFamily Universe - Cold War between Ostania & Westalis (if I wanted to be funny I´d have renamed them into "Elysiana" & "Ereboris" or smth like that, because there already exists Eden Academy, so why not turn it into "Heaven & Hell")
A/B/O- Universe (?)
Alastor as westalian spy known as "Smiles". He´s an expert in hiding in between shadows & and concealing his presence. (You only know he´s there when you see a creepy smile, but then it´s already too late for you.) Officially he works as a radio host at a radio station, which serves also the purpose to get the latest news from everywhere and subtly altering it if necessary. They also use it to communicate in code via broadcast. His excuse for getting almost murdered on the streets or for coming home with injuries will most likely be "haters of his radio persona" or "fanatic fans". Yes, he has a very intense fanbase (and hatebase), yes some might call him the radio demon.
He accidentally rescued a little girl called Niffty while on a mission, who refused to leave his side since then. And before he could get rid of her, his superiors had the brilliant idea to keep her, so he could take on operation "Strix", because it seemed that she´s smart (& old) enough to be enrolled in the famous Eden Academy.
Niffty is able to read minds, so she knows that the plan is to get closer to the youngest son of Sera Desmond, Adam. (You can imagine how the first meeting will go when I say that Adam will be terrified of her most of the time and will constantly try to convince everyone that she tries to murder him.) Lute will be his bodyguard, of course.
Our little gremlin will also make sure that Al gets a "wife"/mate/partner, because of course Eden Academy has this strange/stupid rule that the kids need to a whole set of parents to even have a chance to get into it. Al is not eager to go through the list of potential partners that his informant and old friend Husker provided him. Fortunately the problem solves itself with a chance meeting at the park where Niffty almost falls into a pond full of ducks.
And look who´s there! A cute little blonde (omega) with the name Lucifer, who is pondering his life choices and who´s in desperate need to prove that he´s NOT single and/or incapable of taking care of himself. See, he can still look after a kid and prevent her from falling head first into a pond. See, he can also sympathize with being a single parent, because he´s been in that role many years since Lilith´s death.
The wedding ring on his hand? Oh, that´s just an old remnant that he keeps wearing because he´s not really into finding a new partner & when they see the ring they usually back off and leave him be. Unfortunately it led to his new coworkers believing he was still married, because he had been too distracted (and not in the mood to talk about it) in giving them a direct answer ("I don´t have a wife"- "Oh sorry, husband then"). And somehow he talked himself into a corner with his adult daughter Charlie, too, because she believes he´s been dating someone for a while now. He had only been on a handful of dates because she had been constantly nagging him over the phone & then simply started lying to her about it to make her stop worrying.
Now he has one problem coming from two sides: His new coworkers invited him to a dance party, so he needs a dance partner - preferably his nonexistent husband, because he´s too embarrassed to admit he´s single now that he´s already been there for a while and never corrected this assumption. His daughter deems it appropriate to finally meet his new (imaginary) partner & make sure her dad is in good hands.
Lucifer also kinda fears that Charlie would actually throw away her carrier chances if she worried too much about him, because as much as he tried to hide his struggles from her, he knows she´s seen it. Luckily Charlie doesn´t (& hopefully never will) know how far he went to make ends meet for them, because he´s definitely not proud of it. He will never regret marrying Lilith & having Charlie, even though they got disowned by their families and never got the chance to finish their education at Eden Academy after they found out about them (and the pregnancy).
Lucifer is officially working a boring office job, but has a (regrettably) successful carrier as an assassin since his daughter´s childhood years, because he was desperate for money and would have done anything for his daughter to get her a at least somewhat decent childhood & education. His codename is "Rotten Apple" (he always leaves a faint smell of rotten apples behind) and he´s very good at disguising himself. His small and slender build also makes it easy for him to disguise as woman if necessary.
Anyway, Alastor & Lucifer come to the conclusion that it will benefit both of them if they entered a fake marriage. Lucifer is very glad he found Alastor, because not only can this man cook a thousand times better than him, he can also dance and make his coworkers jealous! Well, Charlie is not entirely convinced yet, but you have to forgive her, she´s very protective of her dad & worries too much (Vaggie is trying to convince her to let her dad be). Alastor is somewhat relieved that he found someone who has experience in child raising & knowledge of Eden Academy. He doesn´t care that his mate is older than him & already had a child roughly 20 years ago. If someone asks why he didn´t choose a younger one: He likes that they can enjoy the same things, such as music, dancing, playing instruments, etc. He´s also good with kids, has experience, doesn´t mind marrying someone with a child, does he need to go on? Ah, yes and both of them don´t ask too many unnecessary questions, because gotta keep their secrets.
Btw Vox is not happy about this fake marriage, because he wanted to play happy family with Al. (Niffty does not, she likes her new "bad boy" dad very much, thank you.)

hii uhh, i had a little idea that id like to share if thats ok, it might be quite triggering tho so be warned ‼️
a sinner demon reader thats based on a teddy bear, because theyre too soft and mushy personality-wise, and they ended up in hell due to being suicidal. like their whole body is covered in stitches thats supposed to be a metaphor for sh scars
do whatever u want with that info, u can even ignore it if u like, have a nice day ❤️
Tumblr media
Hazbin Hotel Cast with a Teddy Bear!Sinner Reader
Includes: Charlie, Vaggie, Angel Dust, Husk, Niffty, Sir. Pentious, Cherri Bomb, Alastor.
A/N: this is such an interesting idea! I’m going based on my own experiences as someone like this, along with research. I appreciate you for trusting me with this <3 I definitely WILL make a p2!! Might write for this sinner more tbh I loved writing them!! I thought you meant a child and I wrote that I’m so sorry 😭
Tumblr media
Charlie Morningstar
She truly didn’t understand why you were in hell.
You are such a sweetheart! She adores you.
When you showed up to the hotel one day, without clothes and covered in stitches, she was immediately worried.
She took you in and washed you up as best as she could.
You were like a child! Why were you even here?
She was happy that you wanted to be redeemed, however.
She became a mother figure to you.
You go to her when you’re sad and you hug her frequently.
She traces your scars sometimes and you two share a silent moment together.
A silent moment of understanding.
She loves picking you up and holding you!
She hugs you like you’re an actual teddy bear.
She’s the one you go to for emotional things.
She’s good at comforting you. She somehow knows what you wanna hear at all times.
Vaggie
She became a secondary mother figure to you.
She was Charlie’s girlfriend, so of course she was.
She understood your situation and was pissed heaven casted a sweetie like you because of your lowest point.
She’s the more levelheaded one.
She’s the one who gives you advice and stuff like that. While Charlie is the more emotionally supportive one, Vaggie is the more mature and steady one.
She also traces your scars. Even if you don’t like them, she tells you you’re beautiful no matter what.
When you told her more of your story, she almost cried.
A child feeling this way broke her to pieces. Especially since you were so soft.
Other than the sad stuff, she loves cuddling you.
You, her, and Charlie sometimes have cuddle sessions with you in the middle because you’re so warm + soft + squishy.
She would kill anyone for you. You’re just so adorable!
She tries to teach you to fight but gives up when you don’t want to hurt anyone.
Angel Dust
Honestly, he saw himself in you.
A lost, scared, and lonely child. You didn’t know the cruelties of the world, aside from those cruelties in your mind.
He tries his best to comfort you. He’s not the best with words, but he’s always there for you.
He calls you sugar bear! He loves you to death.
He would go to the ends of hell for you.
He treats you like he wished to be when he was the same way.
You two share a lot of similarities, so you bond well.
He nearly cried when you told him your stitches were scars from sh.
He embraces you any time he can.
He tries to be the parental figure he needed so you can have a better life, somewhere no one would judge you.
Husk
He’s stubborn, like a dad. He acts like one too.
A hardheaded, yet sweet dad.
He’s like the father you never had. Or did have. Whichever.
He’s the bartender, so he knew how to comfort.
But when you told him your story, he almost broke.
You two definitely sing some sort of song together. Maybe Angel or Vaggie joins.
He cuddles you and hides you with his wings.
If you give him baby doe eyes, he might just take you on a flight.
Husk is SUPER protective over you. He’s very similar to Vaggie in a way when it comes to protection.
He gives you good advice but he still hides behind his tough guy exterior.
He doesn’t understand why you’re down here, even if you tell him. You’re so sweet!
Either way, he adores you.
He loves patting your head and messing with your fuzzy ears.
Might even boop your nose once or twice.
Late night talks.
He probably talked you down from trying to commit again.
Niffty
Another tiny person! Yay!
You’re not a bad boy. She may be a psycho, but she would never call you bad.
Actually, she did once and felt bad once you cried.
She likes to hang out with you since you’re both tiny!
She cuddles and hugs you like you’re her stuffed animal.
Bug killers! Even if you don’t wanna kill bugs, she’s dragging you along anyways.
She tries to hide her needle from you since Husk told her what your stitches meant.
Alastor has to babysit both of you basically.
You and her do almost everything together! You’re best friends!
She sneaks into the kitchen and grabs you both snacks so you can watch a movie.
She makes you sleep in her bed sometimes so she can cuddle you.
Sir. Pentious
He’s a dad. Or, he was.
He treats you like he wishes he treated his son before he passed.
He acts like your father. An awkward father, but he still tries.
He also protects you.
Expect him to curl his tail around you and cuddle you when you’re sad.
He literally cried when you told him your story.
He tells you anytime he can that it’s not your fault. Your stitches are still beautiful.
Best girl dad ever.
Buys you anything he wants, even if he’s broke. (Except sharp things)
He teaches you some things about inventing!
You made him a little metal flower and he was so overjoyed. He took it with him everywhere.
He still remembers you, even if he’s in Heaven now.
Cherri Bomb
Chaotic auntie energy.
She would do ANYTHING for you.
She picks you up and places you on her hip like a baby.
She loves your ears! She also adores how sweet you are.
She wouldn’t admit it, but you’re the cutest thing she’s ever seen.
Even if you tell her your story, she wouldn’t see you differently. You’re a child, a child who went through so much.
Hangouts with her and Angel are a MUST.
They try to avoid doing the normal around you and focus on fun time.
She took you with her when she had a territorial fight one time and you almost cried.
She felt so bad that she bought you anything you wanted for a week.
She did anything you wanted to do, even if Husk or someone else said no to you.
Basically, if you wanted something, you went to her.
Alastor
He’s not one to like kids, really.
He was, however, kinder to you.
He did anything to protect you.
He was like your insane uncle.
He was the one who taught you how to use your abilities. Maybe to help you, or to manipulate you when you grow.
He made you jambalaya once and it became your favorite dish to share with him!
He introduced you to radio and he was happy that you loved it.
He started bringing you to his studio whenever he did a radio show.
He took you to an overlord meeting once. That’s how you met Rosie.
He pats your head like a dog lol.
Don’t expect him to be emotionally available. But he will be there to have fun sometimes.

Hello I was wondering if you would write a couple of head cannons of what Alastor,Husk, and Angel would do if they ever took in a child (like they just found them they somewhat surprised that a kid is down here the kid is also surprised that they're down there, like no one generally knows why this happened)
But like for whatever reason maybe it relates to them how they died, they're always covered in Moss and mushrooms and other forest stuff and always so damn cold, like this poor kid would probably latch onto anything warm if given the chance, also probably have to clean up anything that falls off or cough up from the kid (and of course the kid tries to help clean up because that's a nice thing to do)
But yeah this kid is basically is a pathetic little creature that is trying their hardest
Take your time with these little head cannons I don't want to over stress you 👍
A/N: I struggled with Alastor’s part here. He’s just…not the best parent. I also struggled with the title. I couldn’t just write, ‘reader who’s always cold ’cause they’re always covered with forest stuff’ because it’ll be too long.
Also, I wrote the taking-you-in-their-care part for Angel only. I didn’t include it in Alastor and Husk’s part because I dunno, so they’re pretty short in comparison to Angel’s.
Warnings: A bit of angst on Angel’s part
———
Angel Dust, Alastor, and Husk w/ a Child!Reader who’s always cold
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Angel Dust
• Angel will try to find your parents at first
• but once he realized that you didn’t know or have any family you could go to, he was quick to bring you to the hotel, as it was probably the only place in Hell that was safe
• after you two went inside his room, he quickly started to hide his inappropriate items from your sight, shoving most of them in his dressers and whatnot
• he’ll stop midway when you dove onto his bed, wrapping yourself up in his blankets
• it was then he noticed that you were shivering
• “Aw…” Angel’s voice was soft as he clicked his tongue. “Here, I have more for you.”
• you quickly fell asleep all warm and fuzzy that night
• only to have the bed full of moss and mushrooms the next morning
• anyway, about that, it’ll probably make him feel bad for you even more
• it’s even worse when you’re so nice and polite
• your innocence hurts him (It’s old info, but it was said in an old stream that Angel values innocence)
• but, uh, moving on from that, Angel’s fine with you clinging to him like a koala
• he has four arms (six if he extracts the rest), and he doesn’t mind sparing one to carry you and keep you warm all the time
• and speaking of keeping you warm, you two would most likely sleep in the same room and the same bed, so you two get to cuddle each other every night
• if Valentino wasn’t making him work his ass off that day…
• he finds it comforting, actually, seeing you wait for him while you played with Fat Nuggets
• or your sleeping form if he was coming back late
• it makes his afterlife in Hell just a little bit better
• and during those times he does find you sleeping, he takes the time to sit beside you, gently stroking your head as he holds onto the hope that if Charlie’s silly little dream really did work, he can get you a better life up there than anything he has to offer down here
———
Alastor
• well, don’t you just fit right in with the bayou portion of his room?
• he might enjoy watching you struggle to clean up after yourself at first, actually
• if you were a boy (or masc-leaning)
• that also applies to any other gender except for girls (or fem-leaning)
• if you were one, he might be more nice to you
• regardless, Charlie will probably tell him to help you since you’re his responsibility
• so he’ll give you a shadow minion to clean up your messes
• if Niffty isn’t on your tail already
• other than that, he won’t really help
• so don’t even try to cling to him
• he won’t hurt you, but he’s not hesitant to try to shake you off of him
• especially if it’s sudden
• he’s probably not even that warm, anyway
• he’ll also probably try to shift the responsibility of you to others
• by that I mean he just doesn’t take on the role of a parental figure that much (Husk probably looks after you more than him)
• unlike Angel and Husk, he won’t sleep in the same room as you
• the best you’ll get is a sleepover (in your room)
———
Husk
• shit, what do you want him to do?
• he can’t exactly do much about the plants-growing-out-of-your-body predicament
• or about your constant state of coldness, either
• well, maybe a little bit
• he’s quite soft and warm because of his fur, so you’d cling to him a lot
• he doesn’t exactly mind
• he just gives a grunt in acknowledgment and doesn’t even react at all after he’s gotten used to it
• you two would probably sleep in the same room, so cuddles are common
• well, uh, more like Husk passing out beside you is common
• actually, I think you two would sleep in separate beds at first
• the moment you asked if you could sleep beside him for warmth and comfort was when it became routine
• the question is: would he wrap his wings around you?
• ...I mean, if you asked
• he’s really not that opposed to many things
• just ask, and he’ll lazily comply
• you’re probably one of the few people who’d get to see him purr freely (who’s the other few? I dunno)

Heya! Saw you were in need of some hazbin requests- would you be okay writing something angsty? I liked your earthborn idea, so you can use that concept for the reader <3 maybe teen!reader is having a rly tough time mentally at the hotel? Panic attacks, loss of appetite, the whole lot of it. You can take this anywhere it goes, I won’t mind. And if you can’t/don’t want to write it no worries! (Also, on a serious note I am getting help currently. Please don’t worry about my mental well-being ❤️)
So abrupt ending, ran out of idea and then got a headache, hope you're doing well. <3
Cut because readers thoughts get real panicked
You weren't a sinner, you haven't even died yet.
Why were you here?
Was everyone right? Did you truly deserve this?
They can't be-, you are still mortal. Then why were you even in Hell?
Why Why why-
You couldn't tell anyone, not that you don't trust them! All of the people (are they even still people if they are dead? Demons?), are nice and you just don't want to worry them with the truth.
-
"Have any of you seen (Y/n)? They are always willing to help me with taste testing my food?" Niffty asked after finishing cooking for the hotel.
"Haven't actual seen them today. I think they are sleeping though the day. I would." Said Husk, cleaning a glass.
"They've been skittish the past few days when they aren't in their room." Alastor stated, "More jumpy that usual."
"(Y/n) haven't been like this since they first got here." Said Charlie with a remorseful look. "I hope I didn't push them to hard on redemption, I know they can be sensitive about certain things."
"Like how all of this could be for nothing?" Said Alastor with a chuckle. "They might realize that and miss their old life. Realizing that they can't actually get better than hell."
"I'm checking on them." Said Vaggie, getting up and heading towards (Y/n)'s room.
"Just don't be too pushy! And make sure they've eaten! And water!" Said Charlie after Vaggie.
-
Vaggie remembers the look on your face when you realized you were in Hell being the one who found you wondering aimlessly. Your transition to a sinner wasn't a pretty one, after accepting Charlie's offer at the hotel the two didn't see you for almost two weeks. Vaggie thought you left until Charlie convinced you to come out of your room.
You look lost when you opened the door. The two only realized that you were young, not a child but not completely an adult. Charlie didn't force you to talk about what you were thinking, just got you to eat something and drink water then take a shower with some borrowed clothes.
Vaggie had moved you to a closer room to the two of them. You didn't have anything to move out so you just followed the two. They kept an eye on you since, making sure you realized that this wasn't the end.
Vaggie grumbled on her breath, standing infront of your door. Knocking with no answer.
"Kid, I know you're in there. Just want to make sure you're okay."
"..."
"(Y/n) did one of these assholes do something? I'll kick their ass if they did." Vaggie continued. "... You haven't closed yourself off like this since you first got here."
Hearing a sniffle after bring that up, clued Vaggie in what might be wrong.
"Look, I'm not like Charlie and will break the door down instead of talking to you for 2 weeks waiting for you to open it."
" 'm fine Vaggie."
"When was the last time you ate?"
"..."
"Or drank any water? Or even took a shower?"
"Give me a second."
-
(Y/n) would have jump out of the window if it wasn't that far. They looked for any escape route from Vaggie and the conversation they would have. (Y/n) could hide in the closet but they spent their childhood in there, they dont want to go back.
With a quick push the trash under their bed and make themselves presentable, they open the door and Vaggie look unimpressed.
"Come on, Niffty made food. You're eating." Said Vaggie not giving (Y/n) a chance to say no by grabbing their hand and pulling them along.
"Okay..."
"Charlie gonna want to know what upset you." Said Vaggie, (Y/n) groaned in response.
"Can't we just say I'm fine? I don't want to talk about it."
"You're not fine. You've not closed yourself off in awhile."
"I needed some me time?"
"That shouldn't include ignoring your health."
-
Well it was the most awkward dinner, everyone was trying not to stare at (Y/n)'s disheveled shape while eating. (Y/n) ate almost half the plate before pushing it away.
"I'm full." They said.
"You haven't eaten in a week, you need to finish." Said Husk.
"That's all I can eat right now. If I try I'll probably vomit it back up which will put me back in square one." Said (Y/n), trying not to get annoyed with the others for caring.
"You still need to hydrate." Vaggie said putting down a glass of water infront of them, (Y/n) grimace at the glass as water didn't taste good to them.
"Fine just can you all go back to eatting your own food?" (Y/n) said, sipping on the water while everyone grumbled and went back to their own plates of food. Everyone became silent while eating when it just became to loud in (Y/n)'s head again.
-
You were fine, everything was fine. This water was... water. The food was fine.
Everything was just fine. Everyone was fine.
Why then didn't it feel fine?
Why couldn't you feel fine?
Because you were in hell-
Like all the people your family said would be there-
People like
You.
But you shouldn't be here. You never died, you don't even look like the people down here.
Down down down, why does you life always go that direction?
You really should breath.
-
The first one to notice was the only one who didn't take her eyes off of (Y/n), Charlie, seeing that (Y/n) just stops everything. Charlie went to them quickly, not touching them yet. Crouching down next to their chair, having everyone watching now. Vaggie gotten out of her own chair ready to help at any moment.
"(Y/n)? Are you-?"
(Y/n) took a quick inhale, barely putting down their glass in time for their body to exhale. Charlie realized that they were breathing too fast while (Y/n) realized they were panicking infront of people.
"(Y/n)?" Asked Charlie, startling (Y/n) out of their thoughts and almost out of their chair. They looked like a frighten animal at Charlie.
"...Fine, 'm fine, t'is fine, promise." (Y/n) said, trying to not worry Charlie.
"Just focus on your breath." Said Charlie. "Just close your eyes and focus, in for 5, hold for 5, and exhale for 5."
(Y/n) squeezed their eyes shut, trying to focus their ragged breathing to calm down.
Just focus
After a few minutes, (Y/n) keep their eyes closed not wanting to face everyone.
"Better?" Asked Vaggie.
"Hmm." (Y/n) mumbled in response.
"Want to take a shower, while I get Niffty to fix up your room?"
"Hm- yeah."
-
While (Y/n) being in the shower, Charlie and Vaggie went with Niffty to (Y/n)'s room. Which just was littered with all things; trash, clothes, and random things.
"I never seen their room this messy before, hope there aren't any bugs. If there are any, they wouldn't be for long." Said Niffty getting to work quickly.
Charlie helped by ridding the bed of covers, pillows, and sheets. Vaggie taking anything that seemed dirty to be washed and getting new bedding for the bed, while looking for clean clothes for (Y/n) to wear.
"What do you think bothering them so much?" Asked Charlie.
"Probably thinking that they'll be suck here forever." Said Niffty.
"...That's probably true but they believe in redemption that I'm working on, are they second guess it?"
"(Y/n) has a habit of pushing their problems away until they can't." Said Husk, standing at the door way with a drink. "I'll take the clothes to them if you want." He said to Vaggie before she handed him the clothes.
"But they know we are here for them. Why can't they trust us with helping them though this?"
"They are probably use to going though it by themselves, they don't usually talk about who they were before hell." Said Vaggie, putting a hand on Charlie's shoulder. "We'll be here to help them up again when they need it."
"I know, I just want the help them before it gets to this." Said Charlie before (Y/n) appeared in the doorway of their room.
"Oh wow, you all did a good job. It looks way better." Said (Y/n) nervously after hearing what Charlie said. "I apologize for what happened. Not use to people wanting to help me before it becomes their problem when it gets to big."
"Well we'll be here if you ever want to talk about it." Said Charlie.
"Thanks. I'll try if it happens again."

I was wondering how a Dazai!Reader from BSD (preferably 15 year old Dazai) would interact with the HH crew
Btw, I love your stuff sm, have a lovely day if you see this!
Gender : GN
Pronouns : None
Info : I haven't watched BSD for a long time, so it's probably wrong/inaccurate, sorry. Reader have 15 years old.
Message fom Raccoon : What ? Dad!Lucifer ? Dad!Alastor ? Okay, take that Dad!Husk !
TW : Suicide (mentionned); SH (mentionned)
Tumblr media
General Headcanon
Finally.
After all this years of trying, after all this attempts, you were finally dead !
And what do we do when we have achieved such a feat ? We drink until the morning !
As you drank, you recounted your feat of finally dying to the bartender, some sort of cat-bird demon.
He gave you a judgmental look when you told him you were 15 and died of suicide.
But you were used to it, people often judge you while you were alive and was trying every second to die.
After a few hours, you were drunk and followed the bartender back to his place, a small apartment in a quiet corner of Hell.
You shouldn't follow someone to their home, you know that, but for your defense, you were drunk and he was a cat. And you have a weakness for cats.
Two things making it impossible to refuse his invitation.
And, if anything ever went wrong, you always had your gun with you, which had appeared at the same time as you in Hell.
The bartender's name was Husk and he kind of adopted you ? You weren't even sure if one sinner could adopt another sinner.
Life was calm with Husk, and you somehow helped him with his work.
By that I mean you were stopping the powers of other demons with your power, so you used it to kick out all the assholes who attacked him from the bar.
You and Husk had this dynamic of "Father who will kill for his child & Child who will sacrifice themselves for their father."
And then, one day you had to move to the Hazbin Hotel because Husk find a work there.
Alastor was surprised to see that Husk now had a kid–he didn't think it was possible for an alcoholic like him to have a child.
And he learned that Husk had cut down on his drinking, so he could be a better father.
*very kindly and not at all suspiciously notes this fact in the back of his mind.*
The hotel was quite shocked to know that you were a child from a fucking mafia and that you had died of suicide at 15 years old. If Husk hadn't informed them about that, they never would have suspected it.
Your humor worries them more than anything else.
Charlie is worry every time you make jokes about suicide while your dad rolls his eyes at it.
Husk was used to your jokes after a few months of living together.
The hotel wasn't.
Charlie is like your older sister, optimistic and a little naive at times.
She always tries to make you see the bright side of things and to make you forget this idea of double death.
Spoiler : it doesn't work.
Lucifer sees you like one of his children.
He spoils you like he spoiled Charlie when she was just a child.
Husk often makes side eyes at him, accusing him of trying to steal his child.
And that was true.
Lucifer, Charlie, Husk and Angel Dust are the ones who are the most concerned about your mental health.
Alastor wanted to make you sign a contract "I become powerful and Alastor releases my father from his contract in exchange of stopping trying to kill myself."
You didn't sign it.
Alastor tried to use you to spy on Vox and the Vees because he was bored and wanted some entertainment.
It worked.
Alastor do radio shows with you sometimes, you two are called "The RadioDuo".
His audience LOVES you.
You gained Alastor some listeners btw.
You help Niffty with her work at the Hotel.
Even if Charlie said you didn't have to do it, you do it anyway.
Vaggie take all your guns because you apparently “didn’t need” them.
You managed to recover them with a little manipulation.
Angel Dust could see himself in you.
You reminded him of his little human self, Anthony, broken by the world and wanting to end it. A family running the Mafia and forcing him to join it.
You're a bit like him, but compared to him, who fought to survive, had a reason to survive, you had nothing, no reason to fight, and you gave up.
When Angel Dust isn't working, he usually stays with you and Husk.
He doesn't want to abandon you, leave you alone in such a rotten world. He wants you to be protected and to be the child you never could be.
He will never let anyone touch you, never.
Husk and Angel Dust are usually the ones who bandage you after SH, Angel Dust doesn't say anything as he does it, because he understands. Husk doesn't speak as well, but you can see that by doing so he's blaming himself, making you instantly regret it.
Don't try to kill yourself in front of them, please. They're already worried enough, don't add more.
Hotel Hazbin was, in a way, your family.
And you would kill everyone in this room before killing yourself before anything happened to them.

Heyoo!! I was wondering if I could request A, D, F, K, L, P, Q, T and X for Angel Dust x reader for the Hazbin fluff alphabet? Thank you!!!💕
A, D, F, K, L, P, Q, T, and X for Angel Dust
I hope this one is okay, I feel Angel may be another character I'll have difficulty catching right, but nonetheless I hope you enjoy, Anon!
Apologies for such a short note, I'm getting another headache coming on.. I think I will write out this post and rest.
For the Tunes segment I would like to apologize for having a trash taste in music, I naturally gravitate to songs I already know with these kinds of questions..
Tumblr media
ATTRACTION:
This one is very tricky, given that Angel throws himself at any guy he sees. Though, that's because he feels it's what is expected of him, is it not? At least gathering from his wiki as well as his actions within the series... Pinpointing his type is a little difficult and what he knows he's attracted to. But what about subconscious attraction? He needs someone who's willing to deal with his sarcasm and meanness, but won't totally blow him off. But he also needs someone he can just unwind with, you know? Very hard to say, and comparing how he acts with the rest of the cast is offering little idea.. Definitely going to need to be patient with this one, too, but that's not exactly an attraction thing.. hmm..
DATES:
A club may be his first go to, especially if this before he starts taking the redemption thing seriously. Though, that's not exactly the best date idea now is it? You go there to get drunk or take enough substances to not think straight for the next week; or to fuck. Sure, you can bond with someone over a shot, but is it really.. genuine? Add in he might be stressing over you like he did with Niffty if this is within the second half of the show's current timeline, and you get drunk before he can.. No, my mind keeps wandering to the two of you simply having an at home date. Together, at your place or yours. If it takes place at the hotel he takes you to his room. Less of a date as it is a hangout session, and he might try to initiate sex.. More experienced with intercourse than the romance side of things, so that's going to take time too.
FAMILY:
Sinners can't have biological children of his own, but Angel Dust is fine by that. Perhaps he feels responsible for a moment and admits (likely internally) that he can hardly keep an eye on himself, how can he keep an eye on a child? There's also some level of fear that the kid would follow in his foot steps and end up in a nasty situation, Angel knows he's not exactly the best.. role model. He's more likely to ascend than be a father.
KISSES:
Oh he loves physical affection. Sure, a lot of it is going to be sexually charged. Diving into the romance vs sex side of things, it may take him a while to fully get a grasp on the difference between lustful feelings and romantic ones and how to act them out. Not all kisses and cuddle sessions need to end in intercourse. He loves giving you quick kisses, long kisses, kisses with tongue, kisses without tongue. He's not picky at all. His favorite place to kiss you is really anywhere on your face... but if you give him the chance he'll say his favorite place is more... down south
As for receiving, I think he stands at around the same.. point.. Yeah, point! Not picky when it comes to him getting affection!
PETNAMES:
He calls you everything under the sun. From schnookums to Honey, you've heard it all. He defaults to Baby and Babe, though. Tends to replace your name with something endearing unless there's something serious going on or he's trying to get your attention. Similar to the above segment he's not picky about what you call him, but he does seem to get this look in his eye if you call him something rather sweet and innocent.
QUESTION:
Oooo this ones tough....
He asks what your favorite position is/j
No, but real talk, I think if you two were alone and you're in his room... perhaps in one of your hangouts... he might let his walls slip a bit, ask you some real.. personal stuff, perhaps seeking some sort of validation or even reassurance. This is more likely after a rough day and after a drink or two.
TUNES:
Perhaps I'm biased because I've been getting back into Maneskin but I can imagine you two absolutely BELTING it to this song! Not exactly a "couple song" per say, but definitely a song that you two vibe with together!
youtube
As well as this song, for the same reasons above
youtube
Though I'm also picturing the Reader and Angel drunkingly singing Tally Hall's version of Just A Friend (while the pair are giggling and getting way into it, you know just having a good time!)
youtube
XRAY:
It depends on how long you two have known each other. Are you guys a quick fling that fell together fast, or were you both a slow burn? If your relationship formed quickly, he may be a little stumped on reading you.. which can sometimes lead to him being a little insensitive to your feelings and vibe. Or awkwardly standing there unsure of how to approach you, likely slinking away to let you handle it on your own. But in something that had left more time for the two of you to get to know one another, he's going to let you vent and complain to him. He can tell somethings off with just the tone of your voice or if your wording is a little off. You two aren't totally in sync, but he's not as clueless as the former.

Hello hello for the third time!!
Once again, your fics absolutely BLOW my mind away!! And I'm here to request just a silly fic with Angel Dust (platonic) and a feral!child reader, who always gets into trouble with his workplace and the hotel?
(I mostly just wanna read Valentino be shit on lmao)
Yours Truly,
- XIN 💠
(P.S, I RLLY WANNA BECOKE UR FRIEND OMG)
Good evening my dear! You requested this at the perfect time because I had to stop the feral child I am related to from running over the elderly with a grocery cart so that's definitely going to play into this not the hitting the elderly with a cart but the general vibe, ALSO THATS SO SWEET OF YOU TO SAY, I'M OPEN TO FRIENDSHIP JUST MESSAGE ME ON HERE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I MESSAGE YOU FIRST IT'LL BE FROM THIS BLOG OR MY MAIN ONE (I've been on Tumblr for like 5-6 years now and I still don't know how it works) YOU WILL GET ME YAPPIN' ABOUT HAZBIN, SENDING RANDOM SNIPPETS OF MY WRITING WITHOUT ANY CONTEXT AND MILDLY ODD EDITS OF SOUP
@fuck-this-shit-xin
Tumblr media
Favorite babysitter
(Or alternatively Valentino gets beat by a child)
Angel dust & child reader, platonic!!!
Warnings:
I got carried away, Valentino loses a wing and both Antennas, nothing graphic surprisingly no unholy jokes mainly because the reader is a child, this is a shorter one, mild OOC
Tumblr media
Angel dust didn't mind children, he preferred not to be around them because well, he wasn't the most child-friendly person to be around
However it was just his luck that the hazbin hotel's resident feral child had decided he was their favorite babysitter.
You had shown up one day at the doorstep of the hotel with a note taped onto you just saying 'Good luck '
It was suspected you were some type of bomb at first but that quickly was pushed aside when it was found you were just feral, you weren't a bad kid you just didn't listen, climbed onto the walls, tabletops, bit into things you weren't supposed too but you could be a very sweet kid, playing with the Egg Bois, helping Charlie by drawing, helping Husk dry the glasses or hunting down roaches with Niffty,
That last activity had been banned since you almost stabbed one of the Egg Bois.
You were a very sneaky and little clingy thing that was evident with you latching onto his legs at random times, sometimes he wouldn't even notice you until it was pointed out or he looked down and bam! There you were wrapped around him like a baby possum sippin' on a juice box.
He made it a point to make sure someone was distracting you as he escaped the hotel to go to work, unfortunately for him Sir Pentious who was meant to be watching you was distracted by his egg minions almost smashing themselves while trying to recreate action movies and you ran after him following him through the city and into the Vee's tower, shockingly due to plot convenience you weren't noticed until Valentino was yelling at Angel dust for who knows what before any work could be done, he pulled out Angel's contract for whatever reason, maybe to make a point? You didn't really know but you didn't like that what looked like a giant dressed up purple grape was yelling at your favorite babysitter so with your little legs you stomped up to Valentino tugging on his wings that acted as a robe, he looked down in fury that quick turned into angry confusion
"Who the fuck brought their child to set?!"
Valentino shouted looking around as his employees looked around shaking their heads, a rush of pure panic rushed through Angel dust, when did you get here? He didn't even notice you? Wasn't Sir Pentious watching you?!
Before he could even get a word out you stomped your leg and pointed at him, eyes full of pure fury.
"Say sorry!"
"¿Qué? What did you just say?"
"Say sorry!"
Valentino leaned uncomfortably in, opening his mouth to say something but Angel had grabbed you in his many arms fully intending to take whatever hit Valentino could throw at you, however you had a different plan, with a large frown on your face you wiggled your way out of Angels arms and pounced onto Valentino, your little clawed hands tearing into his wings, leaving small puncture wounds behind as you climbed up him, the contract that bounded Angel dust's soul to Valentino floated down to the ground.
Valentino yelled out words you couldn't quite understand as his wings flared out, you took the opportunity to steal his hat and bite into it tearing it apart before throwing the remaining fabric onto the ground.
The unholy studio's employees could only watch stunned as you grabbed onto his antennas completely ripping them off, if he couldn't fly because of his damaged one before, he definitely had no hope of it now.
Valentino dropped to the ground screeching, arms reaching up to throw you off only for you to start crawling around his back like a little bug leaving more scratches and wounds
Angel dust once he recovered from the shock of you absolutely tearing apart Valentino tried to grab you fully intending on taking you and booking it to the hotel where you'd be safe,
Unfortunately you were freakishly strong and in angel's attempts of trying to pull you off ended up pulling one of Valentino's wings out.
"Are you going to say sorry now?"
Valentino let out a groan of disoriented pain,
That didn't sound like an 'I'm sorry' to you, so you climbed up his remaining wing and ripped a large chunk of his fluff from it, Niffty would be proud!
"¡Lo siento! ¡Lo siento, solo vete!" the still disoriented Valentino shouted from the ground,
You smiled as you stood up from the overlord and skipped towards Angel dust, your eyes caught the contract that had floated to the ground, now you didn't know what it contained because you couldn't read but you assumed it probably meant something to the purple guy and so you decided that you should rip it.
"[Name] get over here' I gotta get you outta here before-" Angel dust started as you swiped the contact off the floor and ripped it to shreds, the smoke-like chain briefly appeared around Angel dust's neck before breaking apart and whooshing away.
Angel was stunned for a moment before a large grin broke out on his face, before anyone could say anything he picked you up, raised a certain finger up and shouted that he was quitting, after all Valentino didn't have his soul anymore, and frankly the work environment would be awkward now to say the least since a child had just inflicted permeant damage to his now former boss, he could find another job.
Unfortunately someone who didn't have good morals called the security team and now Angel dust was running down the Vee's tower holding you, he would pull out the guns that he kept in I assume his ribcage or something but you were right there and the gunshots would hurt your little eardrums, eventually the two of you outran them and returned into the safety of the hotel.
Angel dust sat you down on the ground as he breathed in, catching his breath while Sir Pentious rushed to you lifting you up while asking where you were before looking at Angel in confusion.
"Aren't you ssssssupposed to be at work?"
"I quit! Lil' chronic juice-o-holic over there ripped up my contract and fucked up Valentino! hAh!" Angel said still trying to catch his breath as you slipped out of Sir Pentious's hold and ran to go bug Husk for a juice box.
The news of you ripping Valentino's antennas and a wing out made hotel news, you were lightly scolded by Charlie about taking the violent route but she gave you ice cream and bought you a toy as a reward, Alastor saw great potential in you, Husk patted your head saying that you did good, Vaggie would eventually decide to teach you how to fight, you got being feral down but it couldn't help to teach you to be more calculated, Niffty was happy when you gave her the big clump of fluff for her collection, she already had some from her earlier interaction with the now antenna-less moth but more couldn't hurt!
And Angel dust, well he owed ya big time although he did scold you for following him into a dangerous place [thank goodness you didn't see anythin' unholy or Vaggie would've had his head!]
He spent a little more time with you the following week before he decided to do some job huntin', he would sneak you some candy or a extra juicebox when he could, and the two of you would watch kid friendly Disney or dreamworks movies on the hotel's TV.
Valentino laid down in his hospital room, full of fury that he got injured by a child of all things, a small child that had some type of connection with Angel dust who's soul he no longer owned, he swore that he would get payback against the child, unfortunately for him the mere presence of that child would strike enough fear into him that he wouldn't be able to make a move, and even if he could he wouldn't be able to do anything to the feral child.
He got off easy this time, he wouldn't be as lucky the next he messed with your favorite babysitter again.
Tumblr media

An Ansgty fic about Platonic!Angel Dust with a 13 y/o fem!reader that has very bad trust issues but they somehow manage to form a strong big bro <--> lil sis bond??? Maybe he comes back to the hotel all bruised up thanks to Valentino (ugh, how I hate that man 👌👁👄👁) and when reader tries to help him he snaps due to the stress of the situation and yells at her/throws something her way and now the reader is scared that Angel might hurt her, so he reaches out slowly trying to make it up for his error but the reader flinches away from him, running stairs down to lock herself in her room and to not came out for 1 week only letting Charlie and Nifty enter her room??
I agree, Valentino is literal garbage.
You Ok?

"I'm gonna head to work.", Angel says, picking up his bag with work items and putting on his jacket.
"Ok.", you nod, carrying Fat Nuggets.
"If ya go out, make sure you ain't followed. Keep an eye on your surroundings, be sure ta take your phone and a weapon.", your older brother says and pats the top of your head.
You nod again with a smile.
"Good. You have my number and the hotel staff is around, 'kay? Make sure ta tell 'em somethin' if some guest is being an asshole to you.", he says and kisses Fat Nuggets on the top of their head. "There's a twenty in my vanity drawer, bye!"
Once he leaves, you and Fat Nuggets look at each other.
"Wanna raid the candy pantry?", you ask, earning an oink in return. "I didn't hear a no!"
Putting the pig down, you go out of Angel's hotel room and close the door behind you two.
"Ok, on three.", you get ready to run. "One, two.."
The pink little pig also readies himself.
"Three!", you shout.
Both of you race down the hall.
.
"What did I say Angel baby?"
The spider demon backed up till he hit a wall, having no where to run. Valentino steps closer, placing a hand on his employee's cheek.
"I told you not to talk when dancing. You know how much costumers like quiet pretty things.", the moth demon coos softly.
Its a false sense of security.
The soft touch turns into a violent one when Valentino clutches onto the spider's jaw tightly.
"Ack!", Angel gasps and tries to push the demon's hand away.
"Let's teach you again, yes?"
🕸
Hours have passed.
You and Fat Nuggets lay on the lobby couches, bored out of your minds.
There was not much to do.
You were sitting at the bar with your pig companion, playing find the broken glass. But Husk quickly told you to beat it and that he didn't want to deal with anyone today.
"He deals with random demons all the time! Dang cat works at the bar for Satan's sake!", you huff.
"Oink oink", Fat Nuggets snorts.
"Yeah, yeah. I know.", you reply and turn to lay on your side. "Charlie is doing whatever, Vaggie is with her, Niffty is..somewhere, and the red guy doesn't like being around me or Angel.", you list of with a groan. "And Pentious is annoying."
The pig rolls onto his stomach and sniffs at you with little snorts.
"I just wish there was more fun around here. I can't really do anything.", you mumble.
The sound of the lobby doors opening catches your attention, making you sit up from the couch and look to see who walked in.
Its your brother, covered in bruises and blood. He wears a pained grimace as he limps into the lobby.
"Angel!", you shout, rolling off the couch and run up to him. "Are you ok? What happened? Oh god, your eye is swelling. Let's get you some ice and-", you reach out to him.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!", he snaps, hitting you away with his bag and letting it go.
The bag slams into the wall and falls to the floor, the room becoming deadly silent.
.
Angel just got back from work and everything hurt. Valentino kicked him out for the day since the bruises wouldn't look too attractive to costumers.
All he saw was red but his other senses were on high. So the spider demon reacted on instinct when there was a loud voice and a hand coming toward him.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
He knows the bag hit someone before flying to the wall. When he takes a second to calm down and looks at the small demon backing up, he realizes who it was.
"Oh shit-", Angel gasps, letting your name slip out with guilt. "Kid, I didn't mean to-", he moves forward with a hand lifting up towards her.
She flinches back clutching their arm, shivering in fear as tears roll down their cheeks.
"Don't touch me!", she manages to get out before running off.
"Wait, kid!", he tries to go after them but hisses at the pain coming from his leg.
Stumbling over to the wall, Angel leans against it and slowly lowers himself onto the floor. The spider demon doesn't notice he's crying until Fat Nuggets comes up to him to lick off the tears that have fallen on his hands.
"I'm sorry.", he whispers before closing his eyes tightly and sobbing, covering his face with two of his hands. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry!", his other set of arms wrap around his legs as he balls himself up before whimpering out another apology.
🕸
You locked yourself up in your hotel room and the little door for Fat Nuggets. Not wanting to risk it, you also angled a chair under the doorknob. Just the thought of Angel kicking down your door and beating you was terrifying.
Not again. I don't want that to happen again. You think of how your living life was and close your eyes. They're dead! I killed them twice! They're gone!
There was some comfort from holding the pillow and burying your face into it. All you wanted to do was stay hidden away until he forgot about you.
A knock on the door made you jump.
"Hey, you ok in there?", the voice of the princess comes through. "I brought dinner."
You slowly get off the bed and quietly make your way over to the door. Taking a peak through the gap on the bottom of the door and feeling the vibrations on the floor, you confirm that its only her outside.
Upon the door opening slowly, Charlie smiles at you in relief.
"Alastor made your favorite.", the blonde says.
"Thanks Ch-Charlie.", you stutter and quickly take the plate, widening the door gap for a second to bring the food inside, closing the door and locking it.
"Oh. I wanted to talk, is that ok?", she asks.
"I don't really want to go out and talk right now.", you say, moving the chair back.
"How about just talking like this? You don't have to leave your room or open the door.", the princess offers. "I just want to make sure you're ok."
"I'm..ok.", you say, rubbing your arm.
"Mentally?", she asks.
You stay quiet for a few seconds.
"Is anyone mentally ok in Hell?", you answer her question with a question.
She sighs and you hear her shift outside the door. You sit down, leaning your back against the wall and pick at your food.
"That is a really good question.", Charlie says. "However the answer is obvious."
You eat a bit of the food.
"Can you tell me what happened?", she asks after a bit.
"Angel-", you take in a deep breath before continuing. "Angel came back from work all beat up. I was worried a-and reached out to him but then he..", you take another breath, feeling your chest ache at the memory. "He hit me with his bag."
Your curl up into a ball and hug yourself.
"Is he ok?", you ask in a whisper.
"Vaggie took care of him, he's ok.", she says.
"That's good.", you hiccup, hugging yourself tighter.
"I'll come back in the morning, or I'll send Niftty to check up on you, ok?", Charlie says.
You can hear shifting outside. She probably sat on the floor too.
"Thank you for telling me. That took a lot of courage.", she says before saying goodnight and leaving.
.
Angel skipped work.
He didn't want to go back, and he also needed to apologize to you. Problem was that you didn't leave your hotel room for almost a whole week, only opening the door for Niffty or Charlie. The princess suggested that they'd do a therapy session, but he didn't want to do that. It would make it seem forced and he wanted his sister to know that he was not forced to apologize.
So on the seventh day of her being locked up in her room, he got all of their favorite snacks and went over.
Angel knocked on their door, but she didn't answer. "Hey, I got you some snacks.", the spider demon says.
Nothing.
"You ok kid? You've been in your room for a week now. Everyone's been worried. Heck, even Husk!", he waits for a response, but still doesn't get one.
Sighing, he goes to sit down and leans his back against the door, placing the snacks next to him.
"I should'a came by and said this earlier but I'm sorry.", he says and looks down at the floor. "I didn't mean to hit you, I reacted on instinct. It..", he bites his lip before continuing. "It was a trauma response. I heard you being loud and when you tried to touch me I freaked out."
He looks up and covers his eyes with one of his arms, trying not to cry.
"I just want you ta know that I'd never hurt you on purpose. And-", he sniffs and starts wiping the tears that start falling. "What I did wasn't ok and I understand if you don't trust or forgive me, I understand if you hate me now and never want to speak or see me again.", the mascara he had put on earlier was now ruined. "I just want you to know its ok. All I want is for you to be safe. I'll be happy with just knowing that you're ok."
Suddenly he falls back, before he can hit the ground, he's engulfed into a hug from behind. The spider demon feels her hold onto him tighter and also as she leans her head against his back.
"You're ok, right?", they mumble. "You're not hurt anymore?"
"I'm ok.", he confirms, moving an arm back to pat the top of her head. "Are you ok? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."
His sister nods and sniffles.
"C'mon. Sibling cuddle therapy.", he says before moving them into a proper hug, letting her rest their head on his chest. "Let's watch movies and get sugar high, we can even do some pranks on the girls.", he lists off, petting their head with one hand and rubbing their back with another as the other set of arms just holds them.
"Mhm.", she hums in agreement.
"Ok, I'ma pick ya up now. 'kay?", he says and lifts them up after they nod, making sure to grab the snacks as well.
He carries them over to his room.
"Fat Nuggets misses ya.", he said before opening the door.
"I missed him too.", his sister replied. "I missed you."
"I missed you too kid."

Demi Demon || Alastor x Reader, A3 part 10
Synopsis: Alastor disappeared for 8 years, leaving you confused, crushed, and angry. You spent those years building up your new self and protecting the haven from dangers left and right. What will happen when he returns to the new changes? Will he return anytime soon? Could you even go back to the way things were?
Previous part
Part 10: wear this tonight
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You cheated!" Nym cried.
"It's quite rude to accuse someone of cheating. Especially when they've won fair and square." Alastor gathered the cards and stacked them neatly together. "Another game, little devil?"
"You bet!" She slammed her hand on the wood table. Alastor inwardly grimaced. His plan wasn't working. Nym had bothered him about teaching her a card game since the early morning. He couldn't do anything about her either with his soulmate in the other room listening carefully. It had only been a few weeks since his scare incident with the Nym and Thatcher.
"You should have asked for Husker to teach you. He's an easier opponent for beginners," Alastor said as he shuffled the cards. If only the cat Demon had been here to hear the dig.
The conversation was carrying upstairs to where Niffty and I were cleaning. Winter hadn't been terrible this year and now we were reaching Spring. The windows were all open and sending a cool breeze through the house. It was one of those days where it was freezing in the shade but sweltering in the sun.
Niffty was cleaning the kids' rooms while I organized and cleaned the master bedroom. The carpets and wood planks were reverted back to their new state, the curtains freed of dust, and everything else returned to their original state.
I kneeled on the floor to fix the boards under the bed. Shadows caught my eye and I found a few books hidden in the corner on Alastor's side of the bed. I pulled them out and examined the titles, surprised that none of them were covered in dust like the rest of the room.
Human Anatomy - Sex Explained
Intimacy In The Bedroom
Impress A Lady Under The Sheets
My hand covered my mouth as my cheeks started to burn. Alastor and I had gotten more intimate in the last few weeks but we never went all the way. It was something that crossed our minds in the moment, something I think we both wanted to do, but we never actually talked about it.
I opened the one that was titled Intimacy In The Bedroom. The first half of the book was mostly text about intimacy before the bedroom and all the things Alastor and I had already done.
The second half was when things got...graphic.
I put the book down.
Did he actually want to have sex with me? Last we had spoken about things like that, he wasn't really into the act itself. Had that changed? Did he want to do it or did he think I wanted it and was doing it solely to satisfy me?
Then another thought crossed my mind.
As far as I knew, he was a virgin. Was he reading these books to educate himself? To ready himself in case I ever did want to go all the way? It seemed like something he would do. Always the all-knowing Demon, always the master of everything, always in control.
The door handle turned. I shoved the books under the bed and shot to my feet. I pretended to walk in his direction as Alastor stepped in. He immediately tried to touch his mind to mine but I kept him in a shallow spot.
"Please entertain the small child," he said, casting a glance over his shoulder as Nym trailed behind him with the deck of cards.
"We've only played three rounds," Nym whined. I chuckled and approached her.
"You have a longer attention span." I placed a careful claw on her shoulder. "Give him a break for awhile."
She made an annoyed, disappointed look before crossing the hallway to her and Thatcher's room. Her brother was out playing with a new friend.
"How gracious of you." Alastor cupped my cheek and planted a kiss on my lips. I wrapped an arm around his back and laid my head on his chest. He held his cane in one hand and the other held my shoulders.
"Don't forget we have the celebration gala tomorrow night," I reminded. Charlie had finally finished the event details and had sent invitations out to everyone two weeks ago.
Alastor's eyes narrowed. "Why are you keeping me at such a distance?" He prodded my mind in an effort to connect deeper.
"I have a surprise for you," I replied a little too quickly. "You'll get it by tomorrow."
He continued to look at me for a moment longer, trying to decipher if I was being honest or not. Fortunately it was partially true so he didn't ask further.
So after dinner, with Alastor up doing one of his broadcasts in his office, I snuck out to Arleen's store. My claws tapped on the cobblestone street as I walked up to the porch. The sign read CLOSED but a single light still flickered in one of the side rooms. I opened the door, a simple ring from the bell above, and found the gorgeous butterfly Demon working on a project at her desk. The room was covered from floor to ceiling in all kinds of silk and threads. Arleen in a clean room was something to be concerned about.
"And so she arrives," Arleen teased without looking up. She was wearing her typical purple skirt, white shirt, and gold jewelry on her neck, hands, and waist. Her tan skin looked soft under the yellow lantern light. While most of the city already had electricity now, some people like Arleen enjoyed a good old lantern every now and then.
Her red butterfly wings and long, thin tail were surprisingly still. She was usually so full of energy and spunk. I leaned against the wall and waited, watching her stick out her tongue as she finished a difficult seam. She leaned back, examined it for a few seconds, then nodded her head in triumph.
She jumped from her seat with such energy that I flinched. She glided past me, wings fluttering as she did, and showed me to the closet where all her finished orders hung. She pulled out a black suite and hung it up on an empty rack. She flipped on a light switch and held up her hands.
"So? What do you think?" she asked, practically tripping over her words. "Figured you'd want to see his first."
A smile pulled on my lips as I examined the outfit. The suit jacket seemed like a typical jacket until I unbuttoned it to reveal a red underlining. The black vest underneath somehow seemed darker, though I blame that on the bright red surrounding it. The button up underneath was one of his usual red shirts that I had managed to snag from his wardrobe. The pants were pretty much his usual black ones with brighter red accents on the bottom.
So much red and black.
"Perfect," I purred. The texture was softer than his usual attire and I couldn't help but rub it between my fingers a little longer.
"Here's yours." Arleen pulled out a dress and hung it beside the suit. My mouth dropped open and I took a step back to examine it fully.
The dress was primarily a deep red, almost maroon like my color, but had black backgrounds that looked like the night sky. It wasn't too flowy and not too form fitting. It looked like it would fit perfectly on me and fall at just the right spot at my ankles. It gave me enough room to move around without tripping on anything.
The top of the dress was a low cut. The sleeves would fall just over my shoulder. It came to a point in front of my chest rather than trying to fit to my breasts in a revealing way. It was exactly as I had envisioned it would look like, exactly my taste and colors.
"You've done it," I said, mouth still agape. "I can't...you're amazing."
Arleen's wings fluttered at the compliment. She twisted her toes into the wood floor and clasped her hands together. "I was worried you might not like it."
"You must be joking. This is outstanding!" I stepped up to touch the fabric, even more shocked at how soft it felt. "I don't know how you've managed to do this."
"I'm just relieved you like it."
"Thank you so much for doing this. Especially with all your work."
"Oh it was nothing. I was honored that you asked me to do this for you. So you like them both?"
"Of course." I continued to play with the fabric. I couldn't wait to wear it.
"Good. Both fabrics are a little tougher than what I usually make because of claws and everything."
I glanced at my razor sharp, black claws. "Smart."
"Oh! I have something else." She practically lunged into the closet and came back with a black box. "I know you said you had jewelry, but I thought maybe the Radio--Alastor--could wear something else." In the box was a set of gold studs and earrings.
"Where would they go?" I asked. My face was warm with embarrassment.
"On his ear things." She pointed to the top of her own head. "They're just clip ons. They go on the black part of his ears. If you guys don't want to use them you don't have to, it was just something I thought would look good on him. You know, the designer in me and everything. Always coming up with crazy ideas."
"We'll give them a try." I took the box before she could psych herself out of it. "I've never seen him with something like this on. I'm curious to know what they look like."
"Oh, good." She rocked on her heels and locked her hands in front of her. "So, want to take the outfits with you?"
"If you don't mind, I'd like to keep them here until tomorrow night. I don't want him to see this yet."
"Sure, no problem."
****
"That's all we have time for today folks. Thanks for tuning into this very special broadcast." Alastor flipped the switch and leaned back in his chair. He could never grow tired of always ending his broadcasts that way. So chipper yet threatening at the same time.
He stayed in the quiet little office for awhile. He had to attend Charlie and Lucifer's little gala tonight. He had been dreading having to deal with the other Overlords after his leave of absence. Though the only good thing that would come out of this event was the improve of status of his soulmate's relationship and image. Perhaps after tonight she wouldn't be considered an easy target anymore; wouldn't be someone others would attempt to kill in order to rid him from both realms.
He was dreading the interaction with Vox most of all.
Letting out a heavy sigh, he finally pushed himself out of the old chair. He swung his cane behind his back and entered his room through the connecting doorway. He was surprised to find his soulmate missing. Surely you knew you needed to leave soon. He could sense you were in Reagan's room so perhaps you had already gotten yourself together.
Something on the bed caught his attention. He crossed the room to find a black suit laid out on the comforter. A small white card laid on top of it: Wear this tonight
His smile quirked up at your chicken-scratch handwriting. Part of him wanted to wear his usual attire like he had planned, purely out of spite of this soft command, but the other part of him was curious what this new suit would look like on him. Not to mention, you had clearly gone out of your way to obtain it and had even said the day before that you had a surprise for him.
So, he put it on.
He went to the full mirror in the far corner of the room to look himself over. He had always worn red with black accents, never black with red. It was an invert of his usual outfit but he didn't hate it. Though he wasn't sure how he felt about the black tie instead of a bow tie. He was also unsure how to feel about the fact that his tail had been taken into account and hidden under the jacket. Had you made this yourself or had you asked someone? If you had asked someone, he would need to ensure they didn't reveal that information to anyone.
A knock at the door drew his attention. He could sense your presence and admitted you in. His eyebrows quirked up and all words left his mouth as he watched you enter. You were wearing a gorgeous maroon dress that looked like the night sky. Your exposed shoulders showed off your smooth skin. Only little white scars remained to tell the story of your difficult past.
The dress itself was astounding but you made it even better. Your black horns curved perfectly over your head and were even adorned in gold jewelry that swung whenever you moved. Your black claws and skin blended together - a perfect combination of Demon and Human. The Angel part of you was seen only in your sweet magic.
You seemed uncomfortable in his prolonged silence. You shifted twice and messed with the dress for no reason. "What do you think?"
"You're beautiful," was all he could manage. He wanted to say more but it felt as if his words wouldn't quite hit the mark. He wanted to continue to look at you, take you in, drink in the way your body curved, and meet the sharp gaze that was a little hesitant at the moment.
He blinked twice to reel himself back in. He crossed the room and held out a red claw for you to take. It looked like you had lengthened your claws a touch as he folded his own around them. They seemed sharper, deadlier. He turned your hand over and placed a kiss on the back of it, watching as your face turned a slight shade of pink. Were you wearing makeup?
"Astounding you are," he said next. He straightened up and ran his hand carefully along your soft arm. "The perfect embodiment of a powerful Demon."
That made you look up at him. You finally let his mind in and he gathered up all the information you had been hiding away for the past two days. He could feel your confidence slowly building from his single compliment.
He brushed his knuckles along your cheek and noticed the long earrings. They were the family crest--a combination of his symbol and yours--but the one that lay on your chest, which you had been holding onto since the beginning, was his crest. He preferred you to wear that one.
"Oh, I have something else." You looked at your palm and conjured a simple black box. He was surprised to see such magic from you but didn't have any time to comment on it. His attention was drawn to the gold jewelry inside the box. "Arleen said these would look good on you. What do you think?"
His fingers brushed against yours as he took the box to examine it further. They seemed like rather simple gold studs. He had never considered jewelry. His mother and sister always loved the necklaces and earrings he had found for special occasions. He had seen other men wear a single earring before but did that suit him?
"Maybe we can see how they look?" you pressed gently.
"Very well." He handed back the box and sat himself on the ottoman at the foot of the bed. A smile crept across your face as you followed, grabbing one of the studs and putting the box beside him. Your claws brushed his ear first--avoiding the natural flick he always had when you touched his ears--then clipped the first stud on. He half expected there to be pain, instead finding only slight discomfort at the new feeling.
You grabbed another one. He wrapped an arm around your perfect waist and earned an endearing laugh from you. His fingers fiddled with the soft fabric as you messed with his ear tuffs. His eyes closed at the sensation, especially when you gave them a quick rub at the base when you were done.
"There." You stepped away to examine your handiwork. He stood and found the mirror again to see for himself. The gold jewelry had been placed only on the black outline of his ears. He was shocked to hear himself think he looked pretty good with them.
"I suppose they fit," he said.
"We can take them off if you don't like them." You came to stand behind him.
He turned around. "Do you like them?"
You blinked in surprise. "Oh...uh...well, yes. I think they look really good on you." He could sense the surprise came from him asking for your opinion. It felt natural for him but he supposed that he didn't ask for it as often as he thought he did. "You look handsome."
He didn't react. His hands were still, his feet frozen in place, and his smile as he had left it. The only thing that was moving was his wretched tail. It swooshed under the fabric of his long black jacket. 
His breath caught in his throat when your eyes searched for the source of the sound. He commanded his tail to stop and placed a quick kiss on your lips to distract you. It worked but not in the way he had expected. You chuckled and reached up to wipe your thumb across his lips.
"Careful Al, I've got lipstick on." You rubbed your fingers together to rid your skin of the dark lipstick. He was eternally grateful that you had gone back to using the nickname.
"Then let us go before I find better ways to pass the time." He looked you up and down and snuck his tongue out to run along his teeth. You rolled your eyes at the remark and swiftly left the room. He trailed close behind, watching as you ran your hand along the wall where his shadow was holding out a claw to you. He banished the mischievous shadow as you reached the stairs.
Outside, the night was warm and carrying a salty breeze up the cliff. You instinctively wrapped an arm around his waist as he teleported the two of you down into Hell.
The palace was exactly as it always had been, save for the enclosed ballroom. Vox and I had been instructed to arrive somewhere else to await a grand entrance to the rest of the guests. Vox was already waiting, taping away at his phone. I felt Alastor physically and mentally stiffen.
Vox noticed our arrival. "My my, don't you look astonishing," he greeted. He shoved his phone in his pocket and walked towards us with open arms. He was dressed in a bright blue vest with silver stitching and laces all over. He wore a white shirt underneath and a matching blue suit jacket. He topped the whole thing off with his usual red bow tie. "How have you been?"
"Alright I suppose." I held out my hand first so Alastor wouldn't get upset. Vox took it and placed a kiss on the back. His eyes jumped up to Alastor's for a reaction.
"I'm glad to hear it. You know, you don't—"
"Alastor." All three of us turned at the sound of Lucifer's voice. "You can wait for her in the ballroom. I need to speak with the two of them." Lucifer was wearing a black version of his usual outfit. It was weird to see him in a dark color.
Alastor's grip tightened on my shoulder.
Go. I'll come find you after, I instructed gently.
Alastor hesitated a moment longer, waiting until Lucifer was standing literally toe to toe with him. He casted his gaze to mine. "Very well," he said and unstuck his hand from my shoulder. The sound of his footsteps and cane echoed down the hall until we couldn't hear it any longer.
"Well then, are you two ready?" Lucifer smiled.

The Devil Takes Care of His Own 3/?? [Alastor/Gender Neutral Reader]
Series: Hazbin Hotel
Chapter Name: Checking In?
Chapter Summary: you’re faced with a dilemma as the happy hotel opens its doors to you
Text from: The Boss
“WHAT. THE FUCK. DID YOU DO, NEWBIE?”
Oh no...
“WHAT DID YOU DO?!”
Fuck... oh fuck, oh god no, please.
“WHY ARE SO MANY OF MY CLIENTS COMPLAINING ABOUT YOU?!”
The drop of your stomach echoes with a fluttering impression, while a surge of heat, abrupt and uncomfortable, licks at the lining of your throat all the way up to your jaw and it bleeds into your ears; the burgundy walls all around you begin to shrink.
“SOWBELLY SAYS YOU BROKE SOME SHOT!”
“*shit you broke some shit”
“AND THAT COFFEE SMELLIN HIPSTER FUCK SAYS-”
With a resounding clack, your phone slips from your grip and plummets to the sturdy countertop below, a noise that makes the three people around you flinch (you notice distantly), but your brain- your outermost awareness- doesn’t even bother. Because your entire world is now summing up to the blurbs of rapid fire notifications assaulting the LCD screen. Message after heated text message just filled to the brim with expletives and threats and perpetual capslock until this massive wall of verbal abuse blurs your vision; makes your head throb in sync with the increasing thump-thump of your heart.
The device vibrates against the bar and its screen lights up with another message alert, this one demanding your immediate response before declaring you a “useless piece of shit”, and then not long after comes a voice mail about a minute in length.
You’re not gonna listen to it though, you’re gonna grovel.
A tap from your right middle finger brings the digital keyboard to the glass, and your digits begin dancing across the letters to formulate what you consider to be a heartfelt apology, and you beg forgiveness for your transgressions as a lowly delivery person.
But three paragraphs in your hand forces a sudden stop; typos in need of amending due to the constant use of the backspace key, an entire sentence underlined by red squiggly lines with no break between the nonsense letters, and without realizing it at some point you accidentally pulled up the emoji list and now thirty percent of your sniveling is made up of a bunch of cartoons. It’s an odd sensation, you think as you stare back at the jargon, a backlog of muscle memory for modern technology yet you can’t even design coherent text messages in order to save face.
In order to save your fucking job.
All because your goddamn useless hands won’t stop fucking shaking.
Suppose it’s a futile effort at this point- your ass is one hundred percent absolutely and totally fired now.
Meaning no money for bills, no money for food, for utilities, for clothes... Here comes your eviction notice- goodbye lumpy mattress, and a fine greeting to the filthy streets of Pentagram City. A steep price for your compulsive philanthropy, go figure that that’s how things operate down here. How bass ackwards.
But that’s alright, that’s okay, you’ve been through worse you think- you’ve been- you’ve...
You’ve suffered through worse before. Homelessness? Ha, nothing compared to the shit you’ve seen willingly, a temporary setback, maybe a coworker will let you sleep on their couch. The new girl, what was her name? Stacy? Yeah, she’s pretty eager she’ll let you crash with her- it’ll give her more of an excuse to “befriend” you but that’s alright. Sacrifice comfort for survival, right?
“Newbie.”
Not the first time, definitely won’t be the last; life in a concrete jungle is such a fickle bitch, especially here in-
“Newbie!”
-here in Pentagram City.
Present time. Post death. Hell. The here and now.
Impossibly small hands are pulling the apples of your cheeks into fleshy bulbs, folding your lips as a pout, and the darkened corners of your vision dim until Niffty’s lone ocular takes precedence in sight; a triad of quick blinks help anchor your focus.
Oh. How wonderful. Yet another episode... how many does that make today? Certainly way more than usual.
You blame the stress.
“Newbie, you okay?” Niffty asks with a tight throat, and a bob of your head delivers your response.
“Just havin’ a... moment. But I’m alright now.”
She glances down to her right in the direction of your phone, still glaring at you from the grainy surface of the bar, and it’s as if you can literally see the gears in her brain start to rotate. You’re fairly certain that she’s about to put two and two together and get four.
“That’s just my own bossman, Mr. Terry. Well, pretty sure he’s my former boss now.”
“Is it cause of today? When you helped me?”
Your knee-jerk reaction is to mindlessly blurt out a response that would confirm her suspicions, but luckily whatever humanity remains in tact notices her pitch- not necessarily concern rather something akin to it paints the undertone- and it clamps your mouth shut with an audible click of your teeth. Because what you were about to do, what you were about to say, be it directly or indirectly that was going to shift at least some of the blame on to her, and that would be completely unfair. The fault doesn’t lie with her. It’s entirely your own. First off the little lady didn’t even ask for your help, she didn’t beckon to you she didn’t plead for interception, you swooping in to “save the day” was your body’s reflexive need to act, to just do something instead of perpetuating the stereotype of morbidly curious bystander. Second, the manner of which how you saved her was incredibly, stupidly sloppy- a path of damage shadowing your trek and all you left behind was a substantial cost of repairs and replacements. Since when was charging through a line of stores ever a good idea?!
No, you made the decision to do something about Niffty’s situation, so you could’ve found a better way to engage it- actually you should’ve found a better way, but your lapse in judgment cost some people tools, resources, products, and even some clientele, thus costing you practically everything, and now Hell is demanding its pound of flesh from someone’s hide.
Don’t let her believe that it may come from her.
“Nah, I accidentally pissed off some clients recently,” you say as you gently take hold of her hands and remove them from your face. “No need to worry about it, kiddo.” Which none of that is a lie in any capacity, sometimes your cleverness does in fact shine through.
Niffty doesn’t seem to think so, though obviously there’s no way for her to know without some form of mind reading, regardless her face falls into a displeased frown complete with round, bulgy cheeks. “I’m not a kid, Newb. Besides you’re younger than me!”
Oh, she’s so friggin precious, you’re gonna miss this youngen. “In terms of dates, sure. But my, uhh, ‘departure time’ so to speak-” you decorate this with air quotes “-gives me some years on ya.”
“Yeah, by a few at most.”
... No? By, like, ten-ish years? Are you missing something?
“Dude I’m pretty sure I died somewhere in my twenties.”
“Okay? And?”
Okay, yeah, you’re definitely missing something. The tingles on the back of your neck prove this.
She’s not a child, is she?
“... Niffty, how old were you when you bought the farm?”
“Twenty two.”
Alright, okay, that’s dope- how long until the next extermination? That’s a thing you’ve heard about, and you’d really love to volunteer yourself to be first in line right about now. The sooner the better, really.
From pit in his stomach comes an eruption of raucous glee, such an intense reaction that it forces Angel Dust- long forgotten until now- to bend until he’s bracing himself with two hands on his knees, the other pair clutching around his heaving abdomen, as he cry-laughs at your expense.
Meanwhile, the feathered feline fellow manning the bar makes a sound in the back of his throat loud enough to reach your ears, and when you give him your attention he deems the conversation relevant enough to glimpse at you from the corner of his amber eyes; there’s a deep green bottle entrapped in his massive paws and with a tip of the neck he takes a hearty swig before he finally mutters whatever is on his mind. You catch a whiff of the unmistakeable odor of bitter, cheap booze.
“Didja really think Niff’s a kid?”
...
Ten minutes.
Ten whole arduous minutes spent enduring rigorous taunting and not-so-light-hearted ribbing from all three demonic compatriots; statements such as “not so bright are ya, smooth talka?” ala Angel and “no wonder you’re so weird” courtesy of Niffty force the tips of your ears to sear with your cheeks quickly following the same trend.
In your defense, Niffty’s rather small stature and youthful disposition makes her seem much younger than she actually (apparently) is, and sincerest apologies to the court but she’s the most humanoid individual you’ve encountered downside- other than Charlie, of course- so how were you to know that she wasn’t a child in danger solely based on the information you were given? It’s not like you had the time to stop and ask!
And if this trio of assholes would take a few moments to consider your perspective then maybe they wouldn’t be so quick to jump straight to mockery, so until they do they can just suck your bits.
____________________________________
Some time passes, you’re unclear on how much for you refuse to even so much as think of your phone right now, and though you’ve yet to receive anything further from Mr. Terry- no more text messages, no more voice mails, no more notifications- and though the hotel’s three residents have retired from their cruelty and are seeking entertainment elsewhere- Niffty on a dusty painting, Husk at the bottom of a bottle, and Angel Dust... doing whatever in another room- still you find no peace.
No respite from this fuster cluck of a situatio.
And you don’t know what you’re going to do about it.
But you gotta do something, can’t let this continue to fester, so take a deep breath: one, two, three, four- and let it out: five, six, seven, eight- and repeat. Clear your head. Think about this logically.
The first step should be an apology, of course, but your gut tells you that a simple “I’m sorry, didn’t mean to, won’t happen again” just wouldn’t suffice- not for a group of pissed off demons at least. And your employment with Mr. Terry is a measly two weeks young, nowhere near enough to build up some sort of history of positive work ethic, so starting with him is practically a fool’s errand already.
After all, your enigmatic boss isn’t known for his mercy.
... maybe...
Maybe you’re on to something with that assessment.
Maybe you shouldn’t apologize to him first but rather save him for last. Work up the list of priorities instead of down.
Starting with the demon you pissed off first: Mrs. Sowbelly.
Two pokes at your back.
A delicate, graceful exclamation of “FUCK!” comes bellowing out of your mouth as the abrupt shock nearly sends your ass careening to the floor, your hands scrambling upon the bar in order to hook stability.
Mere seconds later and you find Charlie over the slope of your shoulder with her right index finger pointed in your direction; the look on her face suggests that your squawking startled her. In this moment your mouth works much faster than your brain and an apology is already leaping off your tongue... that is until you notice the person standing next to her.
Now, not to be rude about it, but there’s nothing inherently striking about this individual; gray tinted skin, long white hair pouring down the length of her spine, a few inches shorter than the blonde at her side, and a large pink eye staring straight at you with something like irritation. For the most part, she looks human- not humanoid like Charlie and Niffty, but like you.
Human.
And that’s why she’s stealing your attention.
“Hey Newbie, I want to introduce you to the Happy Hotel’s manager and my partner, Vaggie.” Charlie says with a somewhat forced smile, likely residual from your outburst.
With your eyes trained on the gal in question, you blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. “Howdy, pleasure to meet you.”
Vaggie doesn’t say anything back.
Luckily, however, Charlie keeps the conversation rolling.
“The two of us actually wanted to talk to you about something important. Is... is that okay?”
For your anxiety? Anything that even remotely parallels “we need to talk” is a near guarantee to sending your heart to the racetrack, so no it’s not okay in that regard. That being said, given her response earlier, before Mr. Terry battered you with derisive texts, and the fact that she called the manager/her girlfriend over is... well, you’d be lying if you said that you aren’t intrigued. Skeptical, maybe even paranoid, but intrigued. So you give your consent.
“Cool beans! So, umm, I think I’m just going to cut to the chase here,” she clears her throat, “we want you to stay here. At the Happy Hotel. To be rehabilitated.”
...
....
“I’m sorry, fucking what?”
The question is out before the rest of your body has time to process Charlie’s words, but even when you fully digest the information you’re still left feeling perplexed. What does she mean “rehabilitation”, what all does that entail, why did she have to call her girlfriend for this?
And, oh, how her patience seems to know no bounds for the smile that curls on her lips is soft, and her brow pulls together in what you can only call generosity. Like she understands your confusion; makes you wonder how often she goes through this schtick.
“Allow me to explain our predicament since you’re still new.”
And she does, in great detail, weaving a copper-scented tapestry with threads dyed the shades of suffering and heinous sin. In less pretentious terms, she regurgitates material you’ve only heard in passing. Hell is bursting at the seams with its substantial over population issue, one that only grows more exacerbated with each newcomer, and with limited real estate and even more limited resources the powers that be reached the conclusion long ago that a percentage just... has to go. Enter the exterminators, a team set out from the tippy topside whose sole purpose is to literally slash some numbers in half once a year.
Charlie doesn’t like this, in fact her exact words are “it kills me inside knowing that my people are being systematically annihilated” and honestly they kinda make you equate this to that of a speech from some representative- an authority figure, someone with power, which makes sense if this is her hotel. It’s pretty, the way she feels about the annual genocide, but you’ve yet to hear her alternative solution if she has any to begin with.
As the saying goes, actions do speak louder than words.
That’s when she genuinely explains the hotel’s purpose: to purge the demons of their vices, purify their souls, make right their wrong doings from when they were alive so that they can walk through the pearly gates as a reborn person, faultless and whole. Redemption. Rehabilitation. Because a hotel is only a temporary pitstop between two destinations.
The idea... makes enough sense, you guess.
“I mean, that’s neat, super admirable, and the whole idea of reforming demons instead of just- ya know- offing them sounds way better in comparison. But uhh- what does this have to do with me?”
“Well,” Charlie looks over at Vaggie before advancing her explanation, “you’re new. You haven’t regained your memories yet, your body hasn’t adapted yet, you still have your humanity- I mean you helped Niffty out of a tight spot without any expectation of a reward!”
“Nah, I just did what felt like the right thing at the time.”
“Exactly! We need someone like that here!”
Ah.
Now the picture has clarity.
What Charlie said earlier, “... if I can help just one demon find redemption here then everyone else will believe too!” that was merely another way of saying “we haven’t succeeded yet.” And judging by the way the hotel’s current residents, this motley crew of friends(?), they’ve been trying with people who have been here a lot longer than you have- you, a newbie that hasn’t gone through “the Change” yet, hasn’t full acclimated or been assimilated into the disgusting system of eternal suffering. Like they have. If redemption can be had here it’s more likely to be found with a newcomer like you, and if you can be saved then it’ll prove possible for anyone else.
At least that’s what you’ve surmised from the situation.
It doesn’t sit right with you though.
You did something topside to warrant your arrival here, or maybe you did a lot of things, or maybe you didn’t do enough, you don’t know and that’s the point. You don’t remember. There could be a mountain of skeletons shoved into your closet that you’re completely unaware of and until further notice that’s where they’re going to remain if they even exist.
You. Don’t. Know.
There are way too many unknown variables regarding your past- no, you’re very identity, and though you’ve been reassured on numerous occasions that that’s actually the standard here for newcomers... that doesn’t mean you deserve a second chance. Because who you were may not deserve it.
So don’t waste the room on a potential lost cause, is what you tell them.
“All the more reason to try it now before your memories can influence you.” Vaggie says in a firm voice, the very first you’ve heard her speak. 
And admittedly the logic is sound, you’re not trying to dispute that, it’s just... 
Not you- a clattering racket against the bar top- anyone else may deserve this opportunity- disrupts the conversation- but not you- and it takes all of two seconds to determine the source. It’s your phone, probably Mr. Terry announcing you officially dead to his business.
“Do you have a place to stay?” Still Vaggie.
As of right now, no, you really don’t.
“Residents can board here for free, you just have to stay clean- no sinning, at least as best you can.”
That’s not too bad, you think. Maybe you should-
No! No, one “good deed” doesn’t merit a shot at atonement. It’s not going to negate whatever it is you did to topside to leave you downside.
...but you’re more than likely out of a job now, one that barely paid enough to cover expenses to begin with, and losing your apartment is trailing not that far behind.
“What do you say, Newbie?”
“I-” the sudden dryness in your throat drags forth a minor coughing fit. “I don’t know if I deserve it.”
“Only one way to find out.”
Sacrifice comfort for survival, right?
You take a deep breath. “O-okay. Where’s the check-in sheet?”

Just thought about this, but could I request a platonic ask with the Hazbin Crew (or just Charlie and Vaggie) with a frankenstein-esque sinner reader? Stitches all over their limbs, mismatched and it’s a common sight to see their limbs falling off their body and they only sigh before picking it back up?
They’re very nice, just tired and getting fed up/disgruntled with their own body and how it’s scarred, mismatched and always falling apart.
Good evening my dear! I wasn't too sure how to make this into a full oneshot so I made it into headcanons hopefully that's alright!
I actually have a OC very similar to this however she's a ragdoll so taking inspo from that

The first time they witnessed you lose a limb it freaked the majority of them out [Alastor only widened his grin because he's creepy like that]
The lot of you were just hanging out and doing a trust fall exercise and poor Sir Pentious was the one to catch you, he was not expecting your limb to just come straight off, like he was holding you and your arm was beside you on the floor.
And you just causally sighed and wiggled out of a panicking Sir Pentious's arms and grabbed your arm grumbling about having to sew it back on.
I imagine you may have to sometimes reinforce certain parts because sometimes you just go running and SNAP the stitches on your leg becomes undone and your face meets the ground.
There's a sewing kit almost anywhere in the hotel for you to use in emergencies,
Niffty is skilled with sewing so I imagine if you let her and don't mind getting stabbed a couple times she'd sew you right up in mere seconds, I imagine if you don't mind melding fabric to your skin she'll sew on fabrics with pretty patterns on, maybe it'll make you feel better about your loose limbs.
Angel dust LOVES coming up with nicknames for you, Frankie, Patches, Frankenstein's long lost child, patchwork, ragdoll etc etc
I'm gonna be honest Alastor probably tries to munch on your fallen limbs, I can see him grabbing your fallen arm and booking it out of there while you chase after him yelling for Vaggie to do something.
Vaggie gets your limbs back
Going off the fabrics if your okay with that going on your skin Charlie definitely buys some for you as a surprise, she'll ask Vaggie on whether or not she thinks you'd like a certain fabric patch.
I think having a bunch of patches gifted to you by loved ones is a nice thought, we adapt habits, traits, mannerisms etc etc from people we love and the people that love us sometimes adapt our habits, traits, mannerisms etc etc from us, we're a lovely mashup of ourselves and the people we love.
I imagine Sir Pentious would build something to help keep your limbs together, like a brace or a prosthetic covering of sorts?
Alastor gives you a patch and it's just arm themed, he probably steals your limbs like five times in a week,
"DAMN IT AL, THAT'S THE FIFTH TIME THIS WEEK STOP."
"no"
You have to get Vaggie to help you retrieve your limbs before Alastor makes your arm into an arm pot pie or something.
Husk would help you with carrying anything super heavy, particularly if it's alcohol because he is NOT risking your arms ripping off and no more drunky tipsy times [I can't legally drink I don't know how it works and I don't wanna know.]
Whenever Charlie asks for a hand and your arm has been detached you hand her your arm, freaks her out for a second before she's just like "Haha very funny please don't do that again"
Charlie definitely works on making sure your comfortable in the hotel, if you're ever insecure about your scars she'll take a pen or something and doodle around them.
Honestly Charlie probably thinks your mismatched patches look cool and you remind her of a plushie she had as a child,
If your filled with cotton like a plushie do expect hugs.
Tumblr media

The Devil Takes Care of His Own 2/?? [Alastor/Gender Neutral Reader]
Series: Hazbin Hotel
Chapter Name: Miscommunication 
Chapter Summary: miscommunication runs amok at the hasbin hotel and you’re at the center of it all 
The Has-been Hotel is... you honestly don’t know what you were expecting when Niffty described the place but it sure as hell wasn’t... all of this.
It’s grandiose in both concept and execution, a towering beast of red brick and daunting spires and white marquees lights that draw the gaze up, up, up all seven plus stories until you’re gawking at the luminous, colossal eye nestled at the tippy top of the building; an amalgamation of various parts, such as the rusty boiler of an old locomotive on the left side and the splintering ruins of a ship smashed into the right, it’s as if the architecture had whipped up a variety of blueprints, couldn’t decide on which one to use, then hurled them at the wall to see what stuck. Each individual structure stacks on one another at such awkward angles, not enough to topple over but sufficient to deceive your brain into thinking that it will.
The sort of anxiety that you get when a cup sits dangerously close to the edge of a table.
Niffty skips from one foot over to the other in an energetic, repetitious fashion until they both carry her closer to the grand double-door style entrance, and with a flourish of her skirt she twirls around until she’s gracing you with a toothy grin. “This is it, Newbie!” The declaration is made, and you feel the skin around your mouth pull into a smile of your own before you can even think about it. Her joy is infectious. 
“Cool!” You respond, “umm... I’m gonna kinda stick around until you can get inside, is that okay?”
Her grin quickly drops and her brow pinches, though neither are done out of disgust or anger or any sort of negative reaction. If anything she merely looks confused. Then she asks her favorite question: “why?”
“Cause- I dunno, what if it’s locked?”
“But.. it’s a hotel. Why would it be locked?”
“I don’t- friggin know! Look, I just.. have to make sure you get inside safely! For my peace of mind.”
Something clicks in her head, you can tell by the way her face slackens, the way her eye widens a fraction, and how her already open expression just... opens up more. What this all means you can’t say for sure but you’re hoping that it stems from the epiphany of self preservation and survival instincts, or rather her lack thereof. You can’t afford to worry about her well-being after this. Got an un-life to live and all that.
A smile, tiny in size but genuine in nature, blooms on her face, and warm, fuzzy relief swells in your chest at the sigh; seems the little lady finally gets it.
“You should come inside and meet everybody, Newbie.”
...
Or not-
That’s-
You-
That’s not- the response that-
“W-why?”
The giggle she emits is light and airy, girlish- not quite like a child’s or even a teenager’s yet akin to. Like she knows something that you don’t. “I think you’ll like them, hell you might even become friends!”
“I don’t need- I have friends-” the rest of the statement disconnects from your voice due to the emotional and mental whiplash you’re currently suffering. Because this is not the direction you were anticipating. The direction you were hoping. A moment of clarity to break apart the cloud of teenage hormones- to bridge the gap between childhood and adulthood in her head so that her sense of self preservation might serve her better in the future! That’s all you’re wanting.
Accountability from her. Not an assessment on how pathetic she finds your existence.
But then her smile slips into something a little more somber and the wind in your sails- that is the ire in your throat- immediately deflates. “Please?” She asks.
Hear that? Those are your heartstrings being tuned and plucked and strummed by a diabolical mastermind forever trapped in the body of a teenage girl. Under your breath do you curse the softness in your chest as your feet begin pursuing her prints.
____________________________________
There’s something off about the hotel’s entrance, and you’re already aware of what that something is for it lacks any semblance of subtlety and tact. 
The walls don’t match.
That is to say there’s quite a large patch that coils around the doors from one side of the moulding to the other, with the jump between textures and slightly off-coloring of the material a harsh sensation. “Repairs from an intruder” Niffty tells you; “a big ass red flag” is what you’d call it.
The youngen grasps one of the dusky doorknobs and you have just enough time to note the twin stained glass panels on either door before she shoulders one of them open- oh fuck, these doors are so much bigger than her!
That’s too goddamn endearing.
Crossing the entrance’s threshold and into the foyer doesn’t leave you with any flesh wounds or broken bones, which is a normal expectation otherwise, yet still that doesn’t embolden even an iota of morale. Just makes the oxygen in your lungs slip through pursed lips.
The interior’s lovely, though.
It has a particular aesthetic to it, a sort of old timey feel inspired by early 1900s Hollywood- gold trimming glistens in the low light around the wall’s seams, a wombo combo of creepy eyes and apple silhouette patterns smatters across the wallpaper and windows and furniture, and varying yet complimentary shades of red- some orange based, others with purple undertones- as far as your eyes can see. Chipped marble statues stand tall along the length of the rich, ruby red rug, and both design choices run down the walkway between your feet and the front desk. Safe to say the rest of the establishment follows this decorative draft.
It’s all very gaudy- not something you would’ve chosen.
Niffty announces her arrival with the verbal enthusiastic accompaniment of a “new friend”, which makes the skin on your face heat up, makes you feel coy, however, then her declaration is only met with the ripples of her voice bouncing from wall to burgundy wall, and the silence (emptiness) becomes baffling.
And a quick glance around the space the two of you occupy yields no other results, it’s just the two of you.
Empty.
Obviously there’s electricity in the building, you can easily point out the amber light sources and random puffs of cool air from the air conditioning, so it’s nearly safe to say that this hotel is functioning. At least somewhat.
Don’t most, if not all, functioning hotels have... tenants? People checking in? Employees, managers, a friggin cock roach?! Life?
Why keep the lights on if no one else is here? No one else except... you and Niffty. Why would she bring you here? Knowingly, of all things, given how she spoke of this place with such familiarity. Unless...
No.
Your eyes find her red, curly locks- she wouldn’t- and the hairs on your arms rise with the pebbling texture on your skin- she wouldn’t- and, oh, how the comprehension of age old adages such as “stranger danger” and “curiosity killed the cat” spreads in your chest.
You had no reason to trust her four hours ago, and you have no reason to trust her now.
Seems like her self preservation isn’t the only one that needs fine tuning around here.
Slowly, quietly, you lift your leg and just as discreetly lower it back down behind you, and you mirror this silent shuffle on your right, back and forth, until the tips of your fingers caress a cool, grainy surface. The doors.
Feel for the doorknob- “huh, is no one here?” she mumbles- a metallic globe nestles into the meat of your palm- “that’s weird”- your fingers fold around the bulb- “I was hoping that- what’re you doing, Newbie?”- the knob turns, not by you. It’s not you. You’re not twisting the door open.
The doorknob is moving and it’s not because of you.
A sensation of lofty weightlessness replaces the solid slab against your back, a flurry of butterflies erupts in the pit of your stomach, and the visual of Niffty standing amidst dim lighting slips into the recesses of your peripheral as you fall backwards with the retreating door. However, a pair of hands immediately clench around your biceps and from that point of contact you can physically feel their arms expend force to halt your body’s natural inclination to follow the pull of gravity.
“Whoa there!” Someone says from behind- the owner of the hands and your personal savior, you’re assuming. And judging by the higher, decidedly more effeminate pitch of the voice, your pillar of support is a young lady.
Brief peek up through your lashes confirms all suspicions and you’re, like, ninety five percent sure you’ve fallen in love.
A young gal, somewhere in her early twenties, is staring back at you with her groomed brows creasing the impossibly pale skin of her forehead. But it’s the way she’s looking at you, the manner of which you’re able to meet her lovely doe eyes, is what leaves you weak in the knees.
She’s hunched over you. Spine bowed, shoulders raised, neck craned, spun gold tresses spilled around her face kind of hunched because she’s taller than  you by a significant amount.
You’re ready to go ahead and propose.
“Umm, hi there,” the (hopefully) future Mrs. Newbie says through a lopsided grin, “are you okay?”
This next moment of stupidity will hound your psyche later on tonight until the only thing that lulls you to sleep is the sheer exhaustion of socially awkward-induced anxiety, however in the meantime there’s no stopping the response that jettisons out of your mouth. “I need to call heaven because they’re missing an angel.”
“... what?”
“I mean my legs must be broken cause I’ve fallen for you.”
____________________________________
Over a glass of water, serviced by an individual whom you can only describe as a winged grump cat- and was, supposedly, here the entire time you were questioning a child’s integrity- is where you apologize to the blonde hotel owner, Charlie; she attempts to wave it off with a flick of her wrist but this doesn’t suffice, not for you at least.
“No no, I’m really sorry- it’s just...” at a momentary loss for words, your index fingernail lightly scrapes into the grainy pattern of the bar. “I’m fairly new here so a lot of things are still pretty jarring.”
“Guess that explains the meat suit, then.”
This astute observation comes from her companion, a long-legged fellow by the name of Angel Dust who’s currently scrutinizing you with his sharp, mix-matched eyes; at a whopping seven foot something this guy looms over everyone in the room with all four arms laced over the tuft of white fur billowing out of the plunging collar of his suit. Bug-based, you think, like an arachnid maybe but with six limbs instead of eight.
“-arachnids are not insects because-”
Nope, none of that, not gonna have an episode spice up your (less than) stellar first impression.
“Yep, been here for about a month now. I’d like to think I���ve adjusted well enough but, ya know, still get thrown through a loop sometimes. Like this hotel for instance! Never would’ve thought that friggin Hell would have one, no offense.”
On a bar stool to your left pipes up Niffty; “is that why you thought I was gonna attack you, Newbie?”
Naturally you’re utterly unprepared for her rather perceptive question, cause she can determine your, a total stranger’s, apprehension but not an aggressor’s intentions when their teeth are poised around her noggin?
Well, no sense in denying it now, you suppose.
“Sorry about that, Niffty.”
“Oh no worries!” She giggles, “it’d be pre-etty stupid to blindly trust someone like that.”
A few beats pass with the two of you staring at one another, her donning a toothy smile and you puckered lips, and shortly after you disrupt the unofficial contest with a single nod of your head and a “fair enough” tacked on to the finale.
Turning back to Charlie, you tell her that the offensive essence of your statement about her hotel didn’t really make itself known until just now, and apologize for your insensitivity once more. “I guess I just didn’t think anything like this was plausible, but here I am drinking complimentary tap water in a lobby of a hotel in Hell.”
“’Complimentary’, my ass.” The winged cat, Husk as you were told earlier, grumbles under- his? that voice definitely sounds masculine- breath.
“Okay, just tap water then. I’m drinking tap water in-”
“I-it’s okay, Newbie!” Charlie interjects, palms raised and fingers slack. “You’re not the first one to doubt the Happy Hotel, though I do appreciate your apology.”
... want some of that non complimentary tap water to wash down that foot, self? Jesus, if you didn’t feel like shit before then boy howdy do you feel it now; way to trash her gig like that.
“But I believe in this project, no matter what anyone else says, and if I can help just one demon find redemption here then everyone else will believe too!”
FUCK, you really just shat all over this literal-but-not-really angel’s dreams! God you’re such-
Wait.
Wait wait wait... rewind that, what did she say?
“Redemption,” you stress the word, “whaddya mean by that?”
Her mouth blinks open repeatedly not unlike that of a fish before she quickly clears her throat and continues. “Umm.. rehabilitation? To fight against the overpopulation issue?” She must see the lack of recognition on your face. “The entire reason for this hotel?”
Unfortunately for her nothing is distinguishable, not one bit of information or even hearsay within your recollection to mend the rift of miscommunication here, and you explain as such.
“Isn’t that... why you’re... here? To be rehabilitated?” She asks.
You shake your head, “I was just escorting Niffty home so she’d get back safely. This is the first I’ve even heard of your project.”
“Yep yep! Newbie here saved me from some guy that was trying to kidnap me, said he wanted to use me as bait against the bossman, can you believe that?” Niffty scoffs, chased by a large, arcing roll of her one eye. “Completely clueless. But thanks to our new friend here I didn’t have to do anything!”
Angel Dust, apparently with a desire to be a part of the conversation once more, emerges into your line of sight from your right and levels you with a somewhat twisted sneer; lots of fangs, this one, hopefully he’s not a biter.
“So... what? You lookin’ for reward money or somethin’?” He jeers, and it takes some exertion of personal willpower to not clench your hands out of irritation.
Doesn’t mean it’s not showing on your face, however.
“No dude, just seemed like the right thing to do at the time.”
“Tch, ya think we’re really fallin for that crock of shit?”
“I don’t care what you think?” Your tone is calm, steady, no need to act like a jackass even in the afterlife- a concept that has obviously eluded this guy’s notice. “That was my reason for helping, ‘s not my problem if you don’t believe me.”
In your peripheral you can see Charlie’s silhouette veer a little to her right/your left; it’s a slight tilt in her neck that seems to tip her center of gravity, drawing her blonde hair over her right shoulder in a curtain of pale gold, however it’s her eyes that capture your absolute, full attention. Round and unblinking, they probe into you with such vigilance that your stomach churns from the intense concentration, except it’s done in a way that brings a sort of glossy haze over her round, pretty face- like she’s looking at you but she’s not seeing you.
Normally you’d be flattered by such an attractive person outright staring at you, openly, but uhh... right now? Yeah, no you’re not, you’re actually feeling pretty anxious right now.
Guess Angel Dust is tuning in on the same wavelength as you because he says her name in the form of a question. And, still with a far away vog clouding over her features, she merely discloses “I need to call Vaggie” then treads towards the building’s entrance.
“... what?” Is all you can get out in this disorientation.
“Vaggie is Charlie’s girlfriend,” Niffy whispers behind a cupped hand.
Which doesn’t actually answer much of anything for you, nevertheless you appreciate her effort and thank her for it.
Then your left pocket comes alive with rhythmic tremors, a clear indication that your phone is receiving some sort of outward correspondence. Ah, a text message from... oh no.
Text from: The Boss
“WHAT. THE FUCK. DID YOU DO, NEWBIE?”
“Oh fuck me.”
