    Summary

    Mari knew how far she was pushing her brother. At some point, she had stopped caring. But when he attempts to kill himself on the day of the recital, all that frustration and anger came tumbling down, just as she nearly did. What's left is the hollow shell of the girl she once was, a girl whose desperation to make amends tears apart the people she cares most about and leads her to a place where things were good again, even if she lost everything in the real world because of it.

    Just because she survived the day doesn't mean things get better. In fact, they get much, much worse.

    Summary

    Make it quick. You get what you want, I get what I want.

    Alastor stills.

    I get what I want.

    Underneath his fingers, Alastor's staff splinters into a thousand tiny pieces.

    In the aftermath of Extermination Day, Alastor realizes the cards he had so carefully held to his chest have been made obsolete by none other than the King of Hell himself. What begins as an attempt to get the upper hand quickly derails, and, in a play for the long game, Alastor ends up in a relationship with the fallen angel.

    What's a little detour for power while he bids his time, after all?

    Summary

    Cain has been keeping close tabs on Lucifer since he moved to LA. He stayed at arms length, trying his best to not disturb the angel’s life, still vividly remembering the pain he felt the last time Lucifer left. But he just couldn’t bear to stay away completely, so he often looked for cases that involved trips to LA under the newfound alias Marcus Pierce of Chicago PD.

    Then, at night, Marcus would go to Lux and find a corner where he could just stand there and look at Lucifer from afar, all night long.

    Summary

    Two teenagers stand near the back, one with a purple hood and the other a mask signifying his position as a medic. They are soldiers, in a never ending war against the Syndicate. They are an odd duo, one refusing to kill and one trained to be a perfect assassin, but they are everything to each other.

    They are everything, and nothing without each other.

    The Syndicate fights for a power they don’t really need, unable to truly have peace when they’re missing someone. One day, Technoblade fights an orphan and the rest of them decide he needs to be adopted.

    Neither of the boys really agree, not it should work out eventually, right?

     

    OR

    I needed a war AU

    Golden Boys (Purpled and Tommy) are soldiers. Tommy doesn’t want anyone to die, and Purpled wants to protect the only family he has.

    The Syndicate finds them interesting, to say the least.

    Summary

    He hated this roof top. He hated the noise of the traffic below. He hated the protective railing he had to crawl over every time he came.

    The pro hero inched towards him. “Kid,” the man gripped the scarf around his neck. As he got closer he could see the dark green swirls that seemed to move under his skin. “Why don’t we talk about it?”

    Or yet another story of Midoriya being adopted by our favorite heroes.

    Summary

    Adam awakens as a fallen angel, a sinner in hell, cast away by the angels who had once claimed to ‘treasure’ him. Thinking there is no way back to heaven, he just wants to drown in resentment and spiral toward self-destruction.

    Of course, there is no way Charlie is going to let that happen, even when a powerful enemy is ready to strike soon.

    And maybe, just maybe, Hell isn’t such a bummer of a place as he initially thought.

    It's weird, being so used to pain and dying and slicing your own neck that the absence of pain and dying and slicing your own neck feel like... a loss. Like part of your routine has been abruptly taken from you and you don't know what to do with your time anymore.

    You make do.
