I finally got around to watching Helluva Boss, and like I do with everything, I must turn it into a sterek AU.
Stiles is a demon imp who runs a assassin-for-hire business in Hell alongside weapons specialist Boyd and his (slightly unhinged) killer wife, Erica, and Stiles' adopted hellhound, Isaac. But getting through the day without causing trouble is hard when mischief is part of your nature.
(Longer description - containing spoilers - below the cut)
On his tenth birthday, the youngest Goetia demon prince, Derek, is gifted his grimoire; an ancient tome full of spells to help him learn about and control an element of reality. In Derek's case: the stars.
However, the powers of the Goetia also come with obligations, namely an arranged marriage and the obligation to produce an heir. When Derek was told this, his world fell apart. In order to distract him, his father took him to one of the circuses performing in the rings of Hell. It's there that Derek's life changed forever.
One performer, a little imp, caught his eye. He was terrible at the tricks he was performing, but Derek found it funny anyway.
After the show, Derek's father approaches the ring leader and offers to pay for the young performer to be his son's friend. The boy's father agrees and the young imp - Stiles - is taken to the Goetia manor.
They spend the day together and Derek falls in love. But when Stiles leaves, Derek returns to the life of obligations that haunts him.
Years later, Derek's wife is throwing a celebration of their ongoing marriage, despite the fact that she despises him. Derek spends most of the night with his son, Eli, reading him stories as he falls asleep. But finally, has to join the party. He clings to the shadows, trying not to draw attention to himself when a security guard calls out to him. He looks up to see them dragging in an imp.
Derek freezes. It didn't matter that it had been years--it could be eons and he would still know that face, those eyes.
The guards explain that the imp had been caught trying to break into the prince's personal quarters and offer to take him away, but Derek stops them, telling them that he'll handle it. The guards release Stiles and Derek tells him to follow him, leading the way out of the ballroom and down the hallway to his room.
Once the door is closed, Derek pins Stiles against the wall, asking why Stiles was trying to sneak into his room.
Stiles, flustered, tells him that he wanted to see him. It's a lie--he was there to steal Derek's grimoire in order to use the spells to portal to the mortal realm to murder people (for his job).
One thing leads to another and the two end up sleeping together.
Having had enough of his wife and having provided an heir to the Goetia throne, Derek is free of his obligations and leaves his wife. But the problem with a Goetia prince dating a 'lowly' imp is that Stiles thinks Derek uses him for a cheap fuck (there's no way he could ever love someone like Stiles so their relationship must be nothing more than the prince getting off on the idea of getting fucked hard by a peasent) and Derek thinks Stiles only ever sleeps with him because he needs the grimoire to get to the mortal realm, leaving the two of them entangled in a mess of unrequited love, loneliness, and feelings of worthlessness.

I recently read the synopsis for the original Swan Lake ballet, and I just really appreciate the writers of The Swan Princess (1994) making it perfectly clear what a bonehead the prince is across all versions of the story.

No one has ever fumbled a bag so hard as Derek fumbled Odette.
YOU HAVE KNOWN HER ALL YOUR LIFE AND YOU CAN’T EVEN THINK OF ONE OF HER PERSONALITY TRAITS TO NAME ???
Even if you don’t even really LIKE that trait about her you could’ve just SAID IT to show you at least knew SOMETHING about her Jesus Christ you absolute buffoon

Here’s is a synopsis of my new Sterek story, for those of you who are curious!
(Huge shout out to @outtoshatter for helping me with this summary and also the awesome title name)
Flattery. Derek's life is full of it. Fake smiles, fake compliments, fake people. It's exhausting.
Desperate for a night away from the high-expectations and rigid life of royalty, Derek escapes to a small tavern where he meets a sweet, attractive, genuine man who only gives him the name "Mischief". He has Derek swooning by the end of the night, and Derek doesn't swoon. Their night together, the first and only real connection Derek has had in years, if not his whole life, ends too soon, and he must return to his responsibilities.
Stiles isn't ready to give up on the mysterious, handsome "Samuel" that he met in the tavern, convinced they have a connection. He finds himself risking family secrets and even the peace of his own kingdom just to keep that connection even when it seems impossible.
As circumstances force them together despite betrayal and aching hearts on both sides, Derek must fight both his heart and Stiles while Stiles struggles to prove to Derek that everything between them is real.

A Dance To Remember
Prince Derek x Princess Reader
Summary: based off this post
The celebration of my dads recovery and everything going back to normal, a ball was planned everyone was invited, I flattened my dress out preparing myself "princess yn" the announcer said opening the door for me "thank you" I murmured before walking down the stairs carefully I looked around and the people who were here were royals or nobles no one I really wanted to interact with, I started to wonder around the ball room listening to the music which was played "good evening" I smiled as derek approached "good evening prince Derek" I curtsyed blushing at his handsome appearance he was wearing a baby blue suit and his hair neatly brushed back
"what have I said just call me derek" he grinned offering me his hand "care for a dance" he asked but all I did was shake my head "I don't know how to dance" I said but he gently took my hand leading me out the door onto the balcony which was lit up by the moon light and decorated with flowers and different plants no one was out here except us "I'll teach you" he whispered carmly bringing me closer to him "I don't-" I murmured but got cut off "come on it'll be fine" he murmured placing both of his hands on my waist "wrap your arms around my neck" he said staring into my eyes I stared back as heat rose to my cheeks turning them a bright pink as I wrapped my arms around his neck "now follow my lead" he smiled and slowly began stepping "one two three one two three" he whispered to me before we eased into a complete silence just staring into each other's eyes just swaying to the music the moon making his eyes gleam and glow "you look beautiful" he blurted out making my breath hitch "what" I asked again not knowing if I heard him correctly "I said you look beautiful" he said more confidently making my blush grow darker "thank you" I smiled looking down at the ground "you look quite handsome yourself" I murmured He quickly moved one of his hands and moved my face to look up at his "the moon makes you even more beautiful" he whispered bringing his lips down to mine our lips gently grazing eachother in a passionate kiss "I love you" he said pulling away
"I love you to my prince in dancing shoes"
