Do y’all know what we’re missing in the Overlord Husk AU genre?
A fic (or fics ; 3 ) where Angel goes to Overlord Husk himself to get free from Valentino.
Imagine: Angel is fed up with Valentino, the studio, the clients, the whole Valentino & Vox thing, the entirety of the Vee’s operation.
So one day, after he gets off work, Angel disguises himself, expertly swipes a pack of cards from Husk’s casino as he walks in, sweet talks his way into learning what room Husker’s in, sneaks his way into a meeting with Husker.
He takes off bits of his disguise, You know who I am?
Doesn’t everyone, kid? Your face is plastered everywhere.
Angel grins, Most everyone, but never hurts to ask.
Angel starts shuffling the deck and Husk thinks Angel wants to play a round, but Angel’s playing an entirely different game.
He tells Husker what he knows about him, his casino, how he plays in soul contracts. Doesn’t bother with his sob story, Husker knows who he is, he can put the pieces together himself. Angel pulls out the King of Hearts from the deck.
You’re the King of Souls, baby.
And what? You’re trying to become my Queen? Because I’m not interested-
No, don’t be silly, Sweetheart, I wanna be your ace.
Husk raises an eyebrow, mildly interested.
Angel starts dealing out cards for a round of poker.
Do you realize how many people can’t shut up after a night with me? It’s like their brain turns to mush or something and they can’t remember why they shouldn’t be talking ‘bout certain stuff. I know things about Overlords and their operations and their right hands and their subordinates, etc etc that no one else does.
Husker stares at Angel. He’s considering everything he’s heard.
Husk flips over his cards, he has a pair of Kings.
I can get you any information you seek, help you with expansion, provided additional in-house appeal. I can make you so much money, bring in so much business, make sure you always have the right cards to play, all you have to do…
Angel flips over his hand to show a pair of aces.
is win my soul.
Husker grins at him, thrilled by the game and intrigued by the proposal.
Angel grins back.
Do we have a deal?
And then later they fall in love, he frees Angel, and they become THE power couple of hell 💋
