Lost but found twice

here‘s part ix masterlist: Lost but found twice This is the final chapter (for now) and takes place in the finale of season 2 warnings: graphic violence, Vox

V TOWER, PRIDE RING, HELL

The veil is heavy.

Unnecessarily heavy.

It drapes over your hair and shoulders like a funeral shroud pretending to be couture, and the dress—pearlescent white with metallic embroidery—fits too tight around your ribs, as if it’s been designed specifically to keep you from breathing.

You stand in the middle of the Vees’ prep room, chains built into the floor discreetly hooked to your ankles beneath the hem. Industrial lights buzz overhead. Velvette’s discarded measuring tape lies at your feet. Valentino lounges in a corner chair, admiring you like a grotesque wedding planner with a nicotine addiction.

And Vox?

Vox is pacing in front of you, full of static, laughter, and smug self-satisfaction.

His screen-face flickers with a looping grin as he recounts his own genius for the sixth time. “And THEN—” His voice spikes into a delighted squeal. “AND THEN I told everyone—all of Hell, all the cameras, the entire goddamn broadcast—”

I will be doing some one shots as a sequel but for now I want to thank y‘all for loving this story. I rlly had a lot of fun writing this!

Pink Clouds

Alastor x Reader

Y/N was always known to smile.

Not the sharp, calculated smile people compared to Alastor’s — that eerie curve that never quite reached his eyes, the one that dared others to guess what he was plotting. Her smile wasn’t like that.

Hers was soft. Warm. Fragile in the way porcelain was fragile — beautiful because it could break.

And sometimes, it did.

Because when Y/N felt too much — fear, sorrow, anxiety, guilt, numbness, anything at all — the sky answered her before she could steady her breath.

A puff of cloud appeared above her head when sadness stirred.

A breeze rustled her hair when nerves pricked at her skin.

A thin mist swirled around her ankles when she felt overwhelmed.

Drizzle. Rain. Sometimes thunder if her heart cracked hard enough.

She had learned to control it over years of forced composure, breathing exercises, and forcing herself to smile even when she was screaming inside. It was the only way to keep the weather from betraying her. And being put in charge of checking new residents into the Hazbin Hotel certainly didn’t make things easier.

Demons were cruel. Demons could sniff weakness like blood in the water. Demons loved to mock the girl who smiled too much.

Still, Y/N greeted each rude guest with a soft “Welcome,” bowed her head, kept her smile perfectly in place — even with dark circles under her eyes. She swallowed every flinch, every sting, every rising cloud.

Most days, only one person noticed.

Husk.

He saw the way her fingers twitched when someone shouted. He saw how she turned away to blink back tears when paperwork was thrown at her. He saw how she pressed her nails into her palm, grounding herself, whispering a mantra under her breath.

“Clear skies… clear skies… clear skies…”

And he remembered the night he truly saw her break.

It was late, long after most guests had retreated to their rooms. The lobby was dark, quiet except for the hum of a flickering chandelier. Husk was on his way to the bar to grab a bottle before calling it a night when he heard it:

A small, broken sob echoing down the hallway behind the kitchen.

At first, he ignored it. He had seen too much misery in Hell to go investigating every cry.

But something in that sound… It wasn’t despair. It was loneliness.

He followed the sound and found her curled on the floor, knees hugged to her chest, shoulders shaking violently. Her breath hitched as though she were choking on air. The shadows clung to her like a blanket too heavy to bear.

Above her head floated a cloud — small at first, soft and trembling like a frightened creature. It hovered low, flickering with silver light.

Then the first raindrop hit the floor.

Then another.

Then it became a downpour.

“Kid…?” Husk said gently, voice losing its normal gruff edge.

She flinched and looked up, cheeks blotchy, eyes swollen with tears. And still — still — she tried to smile.

“H-Hey, Husk,” she whispered, the word breaking in the middle. “I’m… I’m sorry, I’m trying to make it stop, I swear, I—”

Another sob pushed through her chest. The cloud swelled in response, rain thickening until droplets slid down her hair and clothes, mixing with her tears.

“Deep breath, kid,” Husk murmured.

“It’s— it’s so hard,” she choked out, voice trembling like a snapped thread. “Controlling it. Controlling me.”

He crouched down beside her with a heavy sigh — the kind that came from years of pretending he didn’t care about anything.

“Look at me.”

She lifted her tear-filled eyes.

“You don’t have to hide here,” he said softly. “Not from me. Not from anyone in this damn place.”

Her breath faltered, a mix of relief and heartbreak. Another rumble of thunder hiccuped out of the cloud. She covered her face with shaking hands.

“I’m sorry—”

“Stop apologizing,” Husk said, carefully placing a hand on her shoulder. “You’re allowed to have feelings.”

“But the clouds—”

“They’re just clouds, kid,” he said. “Not the end of the world.”

Her lip wobbled. “They make everything harder…”

“They make you you.” He hesitated, then opened his wing and gently wrapped it around her small, trembling form. “And that ain’t a bad thing.”

Y/N leaned against him, clinging to the front of his shirt as if he were the only solid thing in the room.

Something changed.

The rain softened to a drizzle.

Then to a mist.

Then the cloud pulsed with a faint glow — small sparkles forming inside it like little stars, responding to her slow, uneven breaths.

Husk blinked at it. “…Pretty.”

She laughed through her sniffles — a tiny, broken sound that made the air warm around them. The cloud dissolved completely, fading into nothing.

Husk gave her shoulder a final squeeze before standing. “C’mon, kid. Let’s get you something warm to drink.”

By morning, everyone knew about her powers — not because Husk ran his mouth, but because the first demon who insulted her that day found Husk looming behind them, growling:

“Say one more thing to her and I’ll turn you into confetti.”

Word spread. And eyes shifted. And interest — dangerous, curious interest — began to stir.

Most of all from Alastor.

Mornings in the hotel always felt like standing in the eye of a storm—quiet, but only for a moment. Y/N floated through the lobby with her clipboard pressed to her chest, her smile soft and steady, the kind that masked exhaustion too well.

Above her, a faint blush-colored cloud drifted lazily. Thin. Soft. Barely-there. The sort of cloud she prayed nobody would notice.

She checked the plants. Straightened cushions. Verified room repairs. The more she worked, the more the cloud pulsed, reacting to a dozen tiny flutters of emotion she tried desperately to smother.

“Kid,” Husk called from behind her.

She turned—only for one of his larger feathers to flick lightly against her forehead.

“Your cloud’s lookin’ real… rosy today,” he said, tone dry.

Her entire body flushed. She slapped a hand over her head as if she could hide it. “It’s not rosy! Just— atmospheric—”

A tiny droplet, warm and pink-tinted, landed on her cheek.

Husk snorted. “Sure. Atmospheric.”

She groaned softly, feeling heat gather behind her ears. “I swear it only does this when he—”

She cut herself off so violently that even the cloud hesitated mid-drift.

Husk smirked. “When he, huh?”

“N-no!” Her voice cracked. The cloud glowed brighter.

“Breathe,” he murmured, the gruffness of his voice softening into something older, protective. He nudged her shoulder with his wing, guiding her downward until her breathing evened. “Don’t gotta fight it with me around.”

Her lashes fluttered. The cloud, sensing her heartbeat slowing, softened around the edges.

“I wish it wasn’t so obvious,” she whispered. “I can’t hide anything.”

“Eh.” He shrugged, taking a sip of his drink. “Most folks lie with their words. You just tell the truth with the sky.”

Before she could answer—

A ripple of old-radio static crackled through the lobby.

Her breath caught.

Husk’s ears flattened. “And speak of the devil…”

“My, my—” Alastor’s voice glided into the space before his footsteps did. “Searching for you has become quite the hobby of mine today!”

Y/N turned, pulse leaping.

Alastor stood perfectly composed: suit crisp, posture impeccable, grin carved with effortless confidence. The air around him seemed to hum—warm, buzzing, alive. But his eyes… they shifted the moment they met hers. Something curious. Something too open.

And too dangerous.

The cloud above her blushed into a vivid, warm pink.

“I— I can explain,” she stammered, hands flying up like she could manually roll back her own emotions.

He leaned in slightly, monocle glinting. “Can you? Because I am most intrigued.”

Her heart shot straight into her throat.

“It’s just— when you give compliments, or you get really close, or— or when I think you’re about to— I don’t know! My powers just— react!”

“To me?” His smile twitched at the edges. Not mocking. Not cruel.

Interested.

Dangerously interested.

She choked on her own breath. “N-not in a weird way! It’s just— my body, and the weather, and— oh no— hold on—”

The cloud trembled, drifting sideways, edging toward the exit like it was trying to escape her embarrassment.

Her face ignited.

“NOPE— you are not doing this right now!” She grabbed the cloud with both hands—its texture like warm cotton, humming faintly—and shoved it through the front door.

The cloud floated outside, confused.

Alastor’s laugh sliced through the air—too genuine, too alive for someone like him. “Ah! Ingenious! A bit unorthodox, but most effective.”

“I hate this,” she muttered.

“I, on the other hand, find it positively delightful.”

She glared weakly. “Of course you do.”

Alastor offered his arm with a theatrical flourish. “Shall we? Come— I require your expert assistance.”

Her heartbeat stuttered. She slid her hand into the crook of his elbow.

The effect was immediate.

Warmth.

A slow, spreading warmth that radiated around them—like stepping into morning sunlight. The air softened; the faintest breeze curled around their ankles.

He paused mid-step, eyebrow lifting. “Is this… you?”

She flushed deep. “I—I’ll calm it—”

“Don’t.”

His voice dipped so low it barely sounded like him.

“It’s… pleasant. Quite pleasant indeed.”

Her breath faltered. The hallway lights glowed warmer. The air grew richer, sweeter. Everything softened.

Alastor’s posture remained poised, but something in him—something buried—shifted. His grin didn’t falter, but the edges lost their bite. His eyes, usually bright with mischief or malice, seemed almost…

Thoughtful.

They walked together, his arm snug around hers. Their steps matched perfectly. Her warmth blended with his static, creating a strange, delicate energy between them.

Behind them, Husk watched from the bar, quiet now, his expression unreadable beneath his fedora.

“Kid,” he whispered to himself, almost proud, almost worried, “you’re gonna change that monster. And hell help us when he notices.”

The mornings at the hotel had slowly become Alastor’s favorite part of the day, though he’d rather be exorcised than admit it aloud.

It had started subtly.

The first time, he appeared beside her at the front desk with a steaming mug of coffee balanced on a delicate saucer. The cup was ivory porcelain with a thin gold rim—too fancy for the hotel’s mismatched assortment of mugs. Its scent drifted up in soft curls of warmth: cinnamon, clove, chicory, and just a whisper of sweetness.

“Busy morning already, my dear?” he asked lightly.

Y/N blinked at the mug, startled. “Oh—thank you, Alastor. I didn’t expect—”

“No need for gratitude,” he hummed, tapping the counter with two fingers in a jaunty rhythm. “You looked… in need of fortification.”

Her cloud, soft and barely-there, tinted the faintest baby pink.

She slapped both hands over her head, mortified. “No—nope—stop—”

He chuckled, delighted.

From then on, it became routine.

Every morning, a cup waiting for her. Her name occasionally written in caramel drizzle. Sometimes a pastry from a bakery she didn’t even know existed—flaky and warm and wrapped in parchment he folded himself. Sometimes he said nothing when he delivered them, simply setting them beside her and strolling away with a grin that flickered mischievously at the corners.

And every time she tasted something he brought, he watched for her reaction like it was a private performance meant only for him.

Her clouds learned to betray her—golden dusk-colored when happy, rose-colored when flustered, warm mist curling gently around her shoulders.

She would groan and try to wave them away, and he would laugh under his breath, pretending not to stare at the way sunlight filtered through the pastel vapor.

Weeks passed like this. Small gestures, tiny habits, accidental routines that made them orbit each other without trying.

And then came that day.

Charlie was supposed to be interviewed by Velvette for a promotional piece on the hotel. Vox, of course, slithered along for his own amusement. The crew set up in the lobby—lights, cameras, wires—turning the space into a chaotic maze of cables.

Velvette had Charlie cornered, firing questions faster than Charlie could respond, each one coated in glitter and judgement.

“So, like, how do you plan to make sinners want redemption? Do you even have a real marketing strategy?” Velvette asked, snapping her gum.

Charlie, distracted and overwhelmed, kept glancing nervously at the camera crew, at Vaggie mouthing “focus,” at the list of talking points she’d already forgotten.

Y/N tried helping direct demons around the lobby, the cloud above her soft and neutral. But when Vox strutted toward her, she stiffened.

“Hey sweetheart,” Vox purred, voice modulated with static. “You look tense. If you ever need a break from this dump, you should come work with me. I take good care of my staff.”

He leaned closer. “And my favorites get even better perks.”

Y/N stepped back, uncomfortable, the air around her tightening. A small, silver-edged cloud flickered above her, pulsing with warning.

Before Vox could get any closer, a shadow fell across them.

A cane tapped sharply.

“Vox,” Alastor’s voice lilted, smooth and dripping with something dangerously pleasant. “Harassing hotel staff? I expected boredom from you, but not desperation.”

Vox’s screen face flickered irritably. “Relax, old-timer. I’m just talking.”

“That’s precisely the issue,” Alastor replied, smile widening. “Everything you say tends to offend the senses.”

He stepped in front of Y/N—no hesitation, no theatrics. A clear, deliberate placement of himself between her and Vox.

Y/N’s cloud burst into soft peach-pink fluster.

Rumors started immediately.

Whispers slithered through the hotel like smoke:

“Did you see Alastor step in like that?” “He never protects anyone.” “They’re totally a couple.” “The Radio Demon’s gone soft.” “He must be in love with her.”

He heard every word.

And he hated it.

Not her—never her.

But the implication that he was weak. That she had made him so. That they could mock him for it.

The idea gnawed at him like static in his skull.

He would turn corners only to see more whispers. He would enter a room and feel eyes dart away. Demons watched him not with fear, but with amusement. Pity.

Pity was intolerable.

And worse—some demons began hitting on Y/N boldly, convinced Alastor had “gone soft,” convinced nothing would happen to them.

He watched her brush them off, always kind, always polite. He watched her force her smile even as her cloud grew darker with exhaustion.

He watched the strain, the way she worked herself to the bone to keep the hotel running, to help Charlie, to keep the peace.

And he found himself grinding his teeth whenever someone stepped too close or spoke to her too familiarly.

Despite the irritation burning under his skin… his feelings toward her only grew.

Softened.

Deepened.

Unraveled him.

He hated that he couldn’t stop it.

He hated how easily she made him smile—genuinely, unconsciously, effortlessly.

And he hated how every whisper, every rumor, every implication that he was changing… was true.

The whispers didn’t stop.

If anything, they multiplied.

Every time Y/N walked through the hotel halls, demons paused mid-conversation. Some smirked. Some winked at her. Some looked at her like she was fragile glass the Radio Demon kept on an unsafe shelf.

And every time she passed, warm little pink wisps of cloud betrayed her—floating, swirling, embarrassed. She’d wave them away furiously, cheeks burning, muttering under her breath for them to please behave.

But stress layered itself over her slowly, like dust gathering in corners until it becomes noticeable only when you try to clean it.

Her cloud reflected that—usually soft and pastel, now a muted gray that followed her like a tired shadow.

She hid it well. She always hid it well.

But Alastor saw everything.

He saw her stumble out of the kitchen with two trays at once, too polite to ask for help. He saw her cover for other staff, take extra shifts, handle late-night check-ins, smile until her face ached. He saw the way she rubbed her eyes when she thought no one was looking. He saw her laugh at someone’s insult just to avoid making conflict.

And it gnawed at him.

One evening, while she was reorganizing a supply closet that absolutely did not need reorganizing, he leaned against the doorway with his arms crossed and said, casually,

“You work far too hard, my dear.”

She jumped, nearly knocking over a box of soaps. “Alastor—! You scared me!”

“Apologies,” he said, not sounding apologetic at all. “But truly, you run yourself ragged.”

She forced a smile. “I don’t mind. I like being useful. Charlie needs the help.”

“And what about what you need?”

She blinked like the question was in a language she didn’t recognize.

“My needs?” she echoed. “I— I’m fine.”

A little storm puffed above her head, a soft drizzle barely forming before she panicked and waved both hands.

“No—no—don’t start—go away—”

Alastor stepped closer, the shadows behind him stretching like eager listeners.

“Your powers,” he murmured. “They are… revealing.”

“I know,” she groaned, cheeks burning. “They’re stupid.”

He tilted his head sharply. “Nonsense. They are fascinating.”

Her heart skipped.

His voice was smooth, too smooth, and her cloud flushed peachy-pink again.

She nearly shoved it out the door with a frantic wave. “Stop that. Please.”

He laughed—quiet, genuine, and far too fond.

She hurried past him, mumbling something about needing to finish a task that didn’t exist.

He watched her leave with narrowed eyes—not in annoyance, but in contemplation.

His fondness had become inconvenient.

And dangerous.

And the demons noticed.

Every. Single. One. A few more days passed and the rumors got even worse and one day she couldn't find Alastor anywhere.

Y/N had already checked the kitchen, the lobby, the bar, the lounge, the tower staircase—every corner she had ever found him lurking in. But today the hotel was overflowing. Demons lined the hallway walls, shouting, complaining, demanding rooms, demanding attention, demanding her.

And she kept smiling.

But the clouds swirling above her head—the soft, anxious gray—kept flickering darker with every new voice thrown at her.

Her voice stayed calm. Her hands stayed steady. Her smile stayed warm.

But the cloud pulsed.

“Next in line, please—yes, I can put you in a double suite—no, sir, throwing the clipboard at me won’t make it go faster—”

Another dozen demons poured in through the front door. Another gust of wind shivered against her ankles.

She needed help. She needed Alastor.

And he was nowhere.

She moved through the hotel again, quicker this time, skirts brushing the floor, cloud rippling anxiously above her as she scanned every room.

“Alastor?” she called, quietly, then louder. “Alastor…?”

No crackle of radio static answered her. No shadow stretching along the wall. No polite, taunting chuckle.

Nothing.

Her stomach tightened.

The cloud above her deepened into a heavier, stormier gray. It hovered close—too close—threatening to break.

“Hey, sweetheart.”

She turned to see Angel Dust leaning against the doorway, pink eyes softening when he saw her trembling smile.

“A-Angel… have you seen Alastor? I can’t find him anywhere and the front desk is drowning and Charlie’s with a guest and—”

Angel scratched the back of his neck, guilt flashing across his face.

He didn’t normally look nervous. But right now? He did.

“Listen… doll…” He sighed. “I was gonna tell Charlie first, but…” His eyes flicked up at the cloud above her head. “…ya look like you’re about two seconds away from makin’ it rain in the lobby.”

The cloud rumbled faintly. She flinched.

“Angel… what happened?”

He winced.

“He quit.”

Everything in her chest dropped.

“…What?”

Angel lifted both hands in a calming gesture.

“Yeah, he… he said he was done. Just up and walked out. Didn’t tell nobody where he was goin’. I only know ‘cause I saw him storm off earlier. He looked—”

Angel searched for the word.

“—pissed.”

The cloud above her dimmed, sinking low enough to brush the top of her head like a cold touch.

“That—” she swallowed hard, trying to keep her voice steady, “—that doesn’t make sense. He wouldn’t just leave without—without saying something.”

Angel softened.

“Babes… I think this whole rumor crap is gettin’ to him more than he lets on.”

“I—I know,” she whispered, heart twisting, “I know. But he wouldn’t just—He wouldn’t leave me without—”

Her breath hitched.

A raindrop slid off the edge of the cloud.

Angel stepped in and rested one of his hands on her shoulder, gently.

“Go find him, sweetheart. If anyone can snap him outta that moody radio funk, it’s you.”

She nodded shakily.

Then turned toward the doors.

As she left, the cloud followed her like a silent, stormy halo.

And Angel watched her go with a sigh.

“…Christ,” he muttered, “you two are a mess.”

The moment Y/N stepped outside, the city air felt heavier.

Not hot. Not cold. Just… weighted.

Hell was always loud—car horns made of screams, street vendors hawking questionable meat, the constant buzz of neon signs—but today something about it felt off. Muted. Like the whole street was holding its breath.

Her cloud hovered low as she walked, trailing behind her like a small storm trying to keep up.

She tried to regulate it—breathing slow, shoulders back, trying to hold onto that practiced, polite smile she gave the world—but her chest felt tight.

He wouldn’t leave. He wouldn’t leave without saying something. The thought repeated like a heartbeat.

Every few steps, the cloud flickered. A little darker. A little lighter. Like it couldn’t decide what emotion to mimic.

She passed a cluster of demons lounging outside a club. They paused their conversation to look at her—first at her face, then at the cloud. A few whispered.

“Guess Alastor finally ditched his little pet.”

“Think she cried him off?”

“She looks ready to storm.”

She kept walking. Kept her back straight.

But their words twisted, curling deep under her ribs.

Another rumble of thunder pulsed faintly overhead.

The streets grew quieter the farther she moved from the main plaza. The neon signs buzzed with static—the kind that sounded almost like him. For a moment, she stopped and looked up.

Alastor’s magic always left a trace, an after-echo in the air.

But this? This wasn’t him.

This static was sharper. More mechanical. Cold.

She shivered.

Still, she kept going.

Rosie’s tea shop soon came into view, tucked between a butcher shop and a florist that only sold carnivorous plants. The front windows glowed with warm, rose-colored lanterns, and the scent of spiced honey drifted through the door each time someone passed.

The soft bells above the tea shop door chimed as Y/N slipped inside. Warm light bathed the little shop in rosy hues, lace curtains glowing in the afternoon sun. The scent of tea leaves and sugared fruit wrapped around her like a blanket.

Rosie looked up from the counter, her smile blooming instantly—sweet, welcoming, with that delicate southern charm she carried so effortlessly.

“Well now,” she said, voice lilting like warm honey, “that little cloud above your head tells me you’re in quite a tizzy, sugar.”

Y/N’s breath trembled. “M-Miss Rosie… I’m so sorry to bother you, but—have you seen Alastor?”

Rosie didn’t miss a beat. “Oh, darlin’. He left ‘bout ten minutes ago.” She wiped her hands on her apron and tilted her head. “Just missed him by a hair.”

The cloud above Y/N darkened into a heavier gray, swirling anxiously. She wrung her hands together.

“I’m trying to find him,” she said, voice shaky. “Angel told me he quit—and the hotel’s getting so busy and everything’s piling up and—and I just—”

A soft rumble rolled through the little cloud. Tiny flecks of mist shimmered in the air.

Rosie stepped closer, not startled, not fazed. Calm as ever.

“Oh, sweetheart…” she murmured, placing the gentlest hand on Y/N’s shoulder. “Take a breath for me, now.”

Y/N tried. The cloud crackled faintly overhead but loosened a little.

Rosie smiled—warm, steady, and reassuring.

“Don’t you fret, my dear. He’s probably already makin’ his way back to that hotel of yours.” She gave her shoulder a soft, motherly pat. “That boy’s got a habit of wanderin’, but he always circles back to where he’s needed.”

Y/N nodded, swallowing hard, the cloud lightening just a shade.

“Thank you, Miss Rosie.”

“Anytime, sugar. Now go on—before your storm decides to settle in my shop.”

Y/N let out a weak laugh, turned, and hurried out the door— cloud swirling close behind her as she ran.

The city felt off the moment Y/N stepped onto the cracked streets. The usual hum of neon, the clatter of claws, the chatter of demons—all seemed muted, swallowed by a heavy tension.

Her cloud trailed above her head, dark gray with faint flashes of lightning, feeding on her anxiety and fear.

He’s coming back… he has to be.

She sprinted through the side streets, skirts whipping around her legs, wind tugging at her hair. Demons darted past in panic, eyes wide, limbs flailing.

“Wh-what’s happening?!” she shouted, heart hammering.

A harsh, mechanical hum answered—static.

Her pulse leapt. Alastor.

She ran faster, ignoring the chaos around her. Rain streaked from the cloud above, soaking her hair and clinging to her clothes.

And then she saw it.

Red and black flashes. Wires whipping like snakes. Screens flickering neon green.

Alastor knelt in the center, coat ripped, stitches torn, blood mixing with ichor. Niffty darted around him, swiping at wires, while Husk struggled beneath a coil of cables.

And looming above them all—Vox, grinning, wires coiling around his body like living serpents, screens buzzing with cruel delight.

“Oh, well, well, well, if it isn’t the little weather girl herself,” Vox sneered. “Came to play hero, did you?”

The cloud above Y/N roiled violently. Rain poured, lightning forked, thunder rolling like cannon fire.

“Vox!” Y/N screamed, barreling toward him. “Leave him alone!”

Alastor snapped his head toward her. “Darling—no! You shouldn’t be here!”

She didn’t stop. Shoving past the last of the fleeing demons, she threw herself between Vox and Alastor, pushing his metal arm just as it lashed toward him.

The wires tightened around her wrists and waist. She gasped. The storm above her erupted—black, furious, lightning flashing across the street.

“Oh, my! Brave, aren’t we?” Vox’s voice crackled with static, dripping with malice. “Think you can save that smug little deer? Or do you just like making storms for fun?”

“Stop!” she yelled, spitting at one of his screens. The spit sizzled faintly on contact. Vox recoiled slightly, caught off guard.

The storm above her swirled violently, rain pelting her face, sheets cascading down her back. Lightning forked across the black clouds, thunder shaking the street. Her hands trembled, storm-charged, as wind tore at her skirts and hair while Vox’s wires lashed around Husk and Niffty.

Alastor straightened, voice rising above the chaos—smooth, theatrical, but sharp enough to cut through the static.

“Y/N is nothing to me!” he bellowed, arms wide, his tone slicing through the air. “Nothing at all! Mere entertainment! A foolish little girl who cannot even control her precious emotions!”

Vox’s grin widened, static buzzing with delight. “Oh? Really, Radio Boy? Is that so?”

Y/N’s chest tightened, shock and pain twisting her gut. Her storm answered with a crashing downpour. Rain streaked her cheeks, soaking her hair and clothes. She lifted a trembling hand toward him.

“Alastor… please… that’s not true!” she cried, voice barely audible over the thunder.

He didn’t flinch. In fact, he stepped closer to Vox, spreading his coat theatrically, tilting his head, voice silky, cruel:

“She is nothing but a silly little nobody! She cannot even command her own weather—just look at her now!”

The words struck her like daggers. Her cloud boiled, pouring heavier rain. Lightning split in jagged flashes, illuminating the street in stark white.

Vox hissed, satisfied, tightening his wires slightly around her. “Oh? So she’s just a weak little girl, is she?” he sneered.

Y/N’s hands flailed uselessly. “Alastor… why? Why are you saying this?!”

Alastor turned to Vox with a sly, wicked grin. “Why, Vox, my dear, I must convince you, mustn’t I? That she is nothing. That I care not for her feelings.”

Vox’s eyes gleamed. “Exactly! Show me! Prove it!”

Alastor spun his coat back, eyes still hidden in shadow. “She is a foolish little girl, Vox! A stormy, weeping, pitiful little nobody! Nothing! Nothing!”

The rain intensified, sheets pouring down like rivers. Lightning branched violently across the black cloud above her. Y/N brushed her temples, trying to hold herself together, her chest aching with every cruel word.

Vox advanced, wires writhing. “Is that right, my dear doll? You’ve been nothing to him? How amusing!”

Before she could react, a surge of static knocked her off balance. She was flung backward, spinning through the air like a ragdoll. Rain hit her full force, soaking her completely, plastering her skirts to her skin.

“Y/N!” Husk lunged, catching her mid-fall. The storm above her cracked violently—thunder booming, rain pelting down relentlessly.

Alastor’s voice rang out, calm and clipped, sharp and old-timey, masking tension beneath: “Release these little nobodies, Vox, and I shall consent to be your prisoner.”

Vox tilted his head, smirk widening. “Ah, I see… and what are the conditions, Radio Boy?”

Alastor gestured toward Husk, Niffty, and Y/N, voice cutting through the storm: “These little people… are not to be harmed.”

The wires slackened slightly around Y/N. She coughed, rain filling her mouth, lungs burning. The storm shifted into furious streaks of pink lightning, flashing across the sky in fury and despair.

“And,” Alastor continued, voice dripping with mock theatrics, “you will lay your hands upon Charlie Morningstar.”

Vox laughed in disbelief static approval. “THAT'S IT? It's a fuckin Deal!”

Alastor’s grin sharpened as he tossed Y/N aside—enough to make her stumble, but Husk caught her. She fell to her knees, water streaming off her hair, rain plastering her clothes to her skin.

Her storm raged—black clouds, forked lightning, pelting rain, thunder echoing her heartbreak. She clutched Husk’s arm, anger, fear, and hurt mingling in the storm above her.

Her gaze never left Alastor’s back, even as he theatrically bowed, voice echoing across the street: “Darling, do try to keep that temper in check—or the entire street may need umbrellas.”

Husk whispered, steadying her. “Come on, kid. Let him handle it.”

But she couldn’t stop glaring. The storm mirrored everything inside her—fear, fury, hurt, and the aching longing to reach him through the chaos.

The grand hall of the hotel gleamed with crystal chandeliers, polished floors reflecting the glittering chaos of preparation. Servants scurried about, demons whispering, eyes darting nervously toward the glowing contraption at the far end—the weapon that Vox and Carmilla had conspired to build, powered by Lucifer himself.

Y/N’s cloud swirled above her head, a dark silver tempest with sparks of lightning flickering in rhythm with her heartbeat. She adjusted her gloves, eyes scanning every wire, every glowing panel, every crack in the floor that might give her a chance to shut it down.

Vaggie moved through the crowd with precise determination, negotiating, arguing, and keeping Carmilla distracted.

Y/N crouched beside a control panel, fingers hovering over buttons she didn’t fully understand, heart hammering. She could feel the storm responding to her anxiety—each passing second adding another gust of wind, a spark of lightning, a low roll of thunder.

Then she saw him.

Alastor, bound in the wheeled chair at the center of the room, still impeccably dressed despite the chaos, watching her intently. The storm above her shifted instantly—heavy rain threatening to pour, lightning branching dangerously close.

She scowled, gritting her teeth. “Darling, you shouldn’t be here. It’s about to become very dangerous.” His voice cut through the thunder.

Y/N glared back, anger and frustration sparking through the storm. “Why do you care?” The clouds above her roared, but no rain fell—just the thunder warning her heart’s turmoil. She stepped past his chair, trying to focus on the controls, but he reached out, voice soft but sharp.

“Darling… you do know why I said those things.”

She whipped around, lightning flashing near her feet, eyes blazing. “Oh please! You’re just as bad as Vox with your ego! You… you just make it better for yourself!”

Alastor’s crimson eyes softened, just enough to betray the truth behind the theatrics. “Darling… I was only trying to protect you. I didn’t mean any of it. I promise. After all this… we’ll talk.”

Y/N’s stormed intensified, small sparks of rain beginning to drip. “I don’t need you to protect me. And for your information, we don’t need to talk. You said it all to stroke your own pathetic ego. I… I’m so stupid to think… me and you could ever—”

Her words cut off as lightning arced sharply at his feet. Alastor froze, eyes widening, staring at the brilliant flash.

The storm above her shifted again, softening into a drizzle. She took a deep breath, letting the wind settle, forcing the drizzle away. She smiled, though it was tight and careful, a mask for the storm still brewing in her chest.

“Great… now it’s drizzling. Don’t worry, Alastor,” she said, voice steadier than she felt. “You do you, and I’ll do me.”

She turned back to the controls, shoulders squared, determination flashing in her eyes. Charlie and Vaggie moved alongside her, weaving past Carmilla’s distractions, trying desperately to stop the weapon.

But no matter how hard they tried, the panels refused to shut down. The hum of energy was relentless, Lucifer trapped within its core, his power channeling into the device with an unyielding force.

Alastor’s eyes, crimson and sharp, flicked between Vox and the weapon. “My, my… it seems your little playground has grown tiresome,” he murmured, tone light but deadly. Sparks danced along his fingers, his presence alone sending a ripple through the storm above Y/N.

Vox laughed, static crackling, wires writhing like snakes. “Ah, the radio boy finally decided to play! How quaint!”

The two collided, a symphony of chaos and power. Red sparks and static met crimson light and old-timey magic, the room shaking with the force of their battle. Y/N ducked under falling debris, heart pounding, trying desperately to reach the control panel.

Her hands flew over buttons, pulling levers, rerouting power, anything to stop the machine, but every attempt seemed futile. Sparks arced, wires lashed, alarms blaring as the weapon thrummed with energy.

The storm above her mirrored the chaos—lightning crackling, wind whipping, a heavy drizzle falling over her shoulders. She bit her lip, forcing herself to focus, each pulse of fear and frustration feeding the storm, but also sharpening her determination.

Alastor’s voice, distant but cutting through the din, called her attention once more. “Darling… focus. You’re far more useful alive and stormy than dead and drenched in despair!”

She smirked despite herself, the force of his words barely piercing her heart, and returned to the controls with renewed determination.

As the battle raged, the weapon’s hum grew louder, Lucifer’s cries echoing faintly in the back of her mind. Sparks flew from Vox’s machines, smoke curling from the panels. Alastor and Vox’s duel shook the room with violent energy—one side elegant and calculated, the other jagged and malicious.

And through it all, Y/N’s storm became a beacon. Lightning arced not only from her cloud but danced across the room as if joining her in the fight. She yelled over the clamor:

“Charlie, Emily! Help the people! Vaggie! I need help!”

The three of them worked in tandem, Y/N’s storm and her precise manipulation of the panels creating a fragile opening. Alastor’s crimson gaze met hers for a fleeting second, a flash of reassurance hidden behind his carefully crafted cruelty.

The city streets outside the hotel were chaos incarnate. Smoke curled from shattered neon signs, sparks arced across broken panels, and the hum of the weapon grew deafening. The ray, unstoppable inside the banquet hall, now stretched across the streets, pulsing with a deadly green energy that no one had yet managed to shut down.

Y/N’s cloud swirled dark above her, a furious gray storm with sparks of lightning. She crouched by a control panel that had been ripped outside, fingers flying over buttons, levers, and wires—doing everything in her power to divert the energy, but the ray continued to hum, unstoppable, dangerous.

From the side, Emily darted in, weaving between fallen debris. Her hands glowed with faint energy as she helped redirect sinners caught in the ray’s lethal path, pulling them to safety. Y/N spared a glance at her, grateful but unable to linger; the weapon needed stopping.

Suddenly, Vox crashed near the base of the weapon, his body lashing wires in all directions. Sparks hissed as electricity ran along metal panels.

“Not good,” Y/N muttered, charging forward to intercept him. She barely had time to register Alastor being thrown back, a shot tearing past him, before Vox’s pet mechanical shark lunged, clamping its jaws around his torso. Crimson eyes flashed, and for a moment, it seemed like he might be crushed.

Emily was there instantly, pulling the shark off, her magic flaring to shield Alastor from the remaining gunfire. Charlie rushed forward, catching Emily as she fell from the ray hitting her wing. Y/n rushed to help them but in a heartbeat, Vox’s wires lashed toward Y/N, wrapping around her arms and throat. “I don’t think so!” he hissed, grinning through the chaos.

“Let me go!” Y/N screamed, struggling, the rain from her cloud now pelting down in sheets, her storm responding to the terror and adrenaline of the moment.

“Oh, my dear little deer boy, look who I have,” Vox sneered, taunting her as he tightened the grip. Alastor, clutching his side, grimaced in pain, crimson eyes locked on her.

“Let her go!” he roared, his tentacle-like appendages lashing toward Vox.

“No chance, fuck everyone, heaven and hell. I don't care who I have to kill as long as I WIPE THAT STUPID SMILE OFF YOUR DAMN FACE,” Vox replied, pressing the weapon to fire, aiming at Alastor at close range.

“Al—A-Alastor!” Y/N cried, tears mingling with rain as the wires constricted.

Alastor’s eyes blazed. “I’m coming, darling!” he shouted. In a blur, his tentacles lashed through the air, knocking wires aside. Lightning from Y/N’s storm crackled dangerously above, her fingers twitching as fear and desperation swarmed her thoughts and took root in her clouds.

Then it happened—a brilliant bolt of lightning, her own storm channeling through the chaos, struck Vox. Sparks flew, the weapon overloaded, and Y/N screamed as electricity surged through both her and Vox. They collapsed, Vox screaming in static, Y/N unconscious, rain still cascading off her hair.

Alastor was there in an instant, catching her as she went limp, cradling her gently in his arms. The battle raged on briefly—Valentino and Velvette moved to bring Vox down, betrayed by his power hunger, and with the help of Emily and other overlords, the weapon finally powered down, Lucifer freed from its core.

Alastor set Y/N down gently on solid ground. She groaned, hand pressed to her side, limping slightly. He moved to support her, fingers brushing wet hair from her face, his crimson eyes soft and tender.

Her cloud shifted above, rain falling lightly, softer than before, reflecting the weight she carried.

“Alastor… thanks,” she whispered, voice shaking. “I… I can’t… not right now.”

“Please, darling… I’m really… I’m sorry,” he murmured, leaning close, voice gentle as he rested a hand on hers. “I tried… to protect you.”

Y/N let out a shaky breath, tears running down her face. “I know… but it still hurt, Alastor… so, so much.”

He leaned closer, ignoring the rain soaking his coat. “Darling… can you ever forgive me?”

Her lips trembled into a small, tentative smile. “Yes.”

The rain intensified softly, gentle droplets, as if the storm above her finally released its tension. She let herself relax in his arms, letting go of the fury, the fear, the grief. The clouds poured rain—but this time, it wasn’t destructive, just beautiful, cleansing.

The rain had softened to a delicate drizzle, pink-tinted clouds curling gently above her. Y/N leaned against Alastor, chest pressed to his, storm above her glowing faintly, as if breathing with her own heartbeat.

He lifted a hand to brush damp hair from her face, crimson eyes warm, full of affection hidden behind his usual theatrics.

“You know,” he murmured, voice soft and velvety, “I adore the way you throw yourself into everything… even when the world threatens to crush you. The courage you carry, it humbles me, my darling.”

Her cloud shimmered at his words, tiny flashes of pink lightning threading delicately through the mist. She lifted her chin, a shy smile tugging at her lips.

“And the way your mind works,” he continued, voice low and melodic, “how you see patterns, possibilities, even in chaos… it’s a marvel. So clever, so thoughtful, my dear heart.”

The drizzle brightened, sparkling with pale pink, rain droplets catching the glow of the storm above her.

“I love,” he said, leaning closer, “how your laughter carries through a room, even when things are grim. How it lingers, filling corners of the heart I didn’t even know were empty. And… how you make storms look beautiful, even when they’re wild.”

Her cloud bloomed, turning a soft, radiant rose, lightning dancing gently through the mist as though rejoicing. Her lips curved into a genuine smile, and the tension in her shoulders melted.

“I adore the way you care for others, fiercely, even when it costs you, even when you fight battles alone. You… you are extraordinary, darling, and I…” He paused, letting his words sink in, “…I am utterly enchanted by you.”

Y/N’s storm swirled with delicate elegance, soft rain falling over them like petals. The pink and silver light mingled, illuminating both of their faces, reflecting a moment of quiet triumph over fear, battle, and doubt.

She rested her head against his chest, whispering, “Alastor… you really mean that?”

His grin softened, losing all pretense, becoming tender and intimate. “Every word, my darling heart. Every word.” He brushed her hair back and kissed the top of her head gently.

They held each other in silence for a moment, letting the world settle.

Then, she pulled back just enough to look him in the eyes. Serious. Determined. She jabbed a finger into his chest—right over his vest buttons.

“Don’t you ever,” she said firmly, “—EVER—say anything like that again. Or I swear I will strike you with lightning. Actual lightning.”

Alastor blinked—then burst into a warm, delighted laugh. “Oh, my! A threat from my favorite tempest. How utterly charming.”

She narrowed her eyes, holding her ground. “I mean it.”

His grin softened, losing its sharpness, becoming something tender… devoted.

He chuckled, arms tightening around her. “Never again, darling. Never again.”

Her storm rained softly, peacefully now, the pink clouds shimmering, beautiful, alive—a reflection of her joy and their unspoken promise. And Alastor held her close, whispering quietly:

“You are mine, my heart, my storm… and I will never let you go.”

Your vanity lights buzz softly as you lean closer to the mirror, just a final stroke of lipgloss/lipstick actoss your lips.

Perfect.

Noona's Dukedom Gave Me Brain Worms

@beloveds-embrace legit gave me brain worms. We aren't going to talk about how long this damn thing got. Can be read without context of the Dukedom AU but it makes more sense if you've read all the possible endings. Shout out to @strangergraphics for the cute divider. ***It got a little bit away from me... Word count: Shy of 6K

Sneaking into the stable of the noble house of Price was a bad idea. He knew it. The hunger gnawing at his spine pushed him forward despite his mind’s warnings. Due to the starvation, his body was smaller than it should have been. He used that advantage to sneak between the slats in the fencing and to hide below the edge of the empty stalls.

Voices and clopping of hooves lifted over the walls. The grooms were rotating the horses in the paddock, he would have a few moments to scrounge for something to eat. He would even take the horse’s oats at this point.

Darting from the stall he scanned the walls for a full door; the horse food would most likely be up to keep away the rodents. His hand nearly touched the handle when a swish of skirts had him unlatching a stall with a large black horse and hiding. The horse did not care for his presence and began to flick its ears and swish their tail.

The swishing of skirts continued, nearer and nearer to the stall with the upset horse. It stopped and he ducked further down, holding the door shut but not letting it latch for fear that the sound would travel. Three loud breaths in his ears and the horse pawing at the straw were all the sounds that he could hear.

“Child, I need you to come out of there. Now.”

Loyalty

Kyle 'Gaz' Garrick x f!reader

I got this idea cause of @chaosandmarigolds's post (I asked permission to write this so I swear I ain't like stealin shit-)

Idea prompt:

“And where do your loyalties lie?”

“they lie with my wife.”

Warnings: fab!reader, violence, inaccurate understanding of royals and knights and so on. Angst/comfort. suggestive but no details of smut. just like sentences. mid af.

"Please..." Your voice cries out to the court. To your King, your Queen. "I didn't take anything. It wasn't me!"

A commotion sounds out behind you. Turning isn't necessary when you can hear your lover's roars of rage behind you as the commander holds him back. More voices from the knights shout over the court's noble rulings as they are sentencing you to prison.

For what you may ask?

A jewel from the neighboring royal's items had gone missing. A giant pink diamond, said to be worth hundreds of thousands.

Without any proof, you had been blamed for it. But to prove your innocence, you'd have to admit to another thing.

But how could you throw the love of your life to the wolves like that?

Hey, remember that shadow, fiend, War's inner darkness thing that he fights in Eden? What if somehow he actually didn't kill it, only separated it from himself and thus making it another being. A twisted version of War without honor or restraint to keep it in check. So I was wondering if you would write a scenario where this shadow War appears after Eden and kidnaps War's human to use them as bait , though does not hurt them as it realises it shares the same bond with them that War does.

HOO BOY! I had fun with this, thanks xxx <3

—

The horseman’s furious shout echoed through the dead streets and rang in your ears even as you were swiftly and roughly carried, further and further from your guardian, who’d at last seemed to notice your absence.

War’s search for the fragmented pieces of the Armageddon Blade has been as exhausting as it has rewarding, for you, specifically. The horseman had eventually realised that you still aren’t invincible, and even the last survivor of humankind needs to rest every now and then.

He’d found a literal hole in the wall; a rotting shell of an old supermarket who’s rear walls were still semi-intact. He’d pushed you into a storage room at the back, telling you to sleep, then he took up his quiet vigil at the store-front and watched for anything encroaching upon his charge.

It’s a necessary one, the temple priest says, as you weep at the steps leading up to the grand mausoleum- inlaid with gold and obsidian. You wrap your arms around yourself as they tell you of your duty, inform you of your sacrifice. The statue of the god of wrath and death looms tall and menacing behind him, his bone white mask a single flash of pale amidst the dark, swirling robes that cover his limbs. You shiver as you look upon it, flesh cold as you imagine your final moments pleading at his feet.

A sacrifice, they say.

Summary: Four concrete walls have been your sight for the last year. Caregivers and doctors see you every day to ensure your heath. Then three months ago, they introduced you to him. A creature not from this world that you can tell. He does not speak but the two of you have an understanding and one another.

Author Note: When this popped up in my feed, I started to bounce off of the walls like a crazed animal. I love this idea so much. In the future, I would love to write out a whole story like this. For now, I'm just going to do at least two parts, maybe three for this.

Blaring sirens jolt you back into reality. Your heart instantly leaps into your throat and lodges itself there. The whites of your eyes clear even in the limited light of the dingy cell you dared to call home.

Instinctively, you wrapped your arms around your knees and carefully watched the only entrance and exit to this singular, minute room. The alarm meant something. Terrible things. Nothing ever good came from it. Your head was plastered to the tops of your knees as you observed for any incoming threat.

Okay so I just read your losing interest chapter and as I am STILL SOBBING I offer you this blurb (not a request, just word vomiting my tears( and WARNING: As a medical student, I recommend breathing un-polluted air, NOT H2O

Now that the reader realizes she is surrounded by basically 4 Blairs in different skins, she weighs her options. These are men about 3 times her size and each built like a brick shithouse. Even if she successfully escapes she will always be dragged back. She begins to believe that there is no truly free future for her besides. She sits in the bath contemplating her fate and looks down to see that the water is overflowing a bit and oh shit, that bathwater is beginning to look mighty breathe-able.

warnings: dark themes? yeah i think this counts as dark themes. very brief suicidal thoughts, emotional manipulation, very brief smut and mentions of smut, excessive alcohol intake (hinging on alcoholism), emotional outburst.

surprisingly, in the following days, you were compliant of their wishes to keep you inside. you didn't put up much of a fuss besides that one time at supper and made no attempts to escape. mostly because you knew you wouldn't be able to get past the electric fence and you wouldn't get far when they have eyes and ears everywhere so there was really no point.

It was a quiet night. Eerily quiet. The sounds of the summer insects ceased, the hot air still, unmoving. You were in bed, trying to sleep. You had no clue what time it was, all you knew is that you were hot and exhausted.

You roll onto your side, huffing as you throw the covers off your body. You close your eyes again, trying to will yourself to sleep.

A moment later, you hear a creak coming from the far side of the room where the doors to the balcony are.

You immediately sit up, scanning the room.

“Hello?” you call out, your voice wavering as you slip out of bed. You immediately grab your knife from the drawer of your bedside table, walking around the side of your bed to stare at your slightly ajar balcony door.

Your heart drops in your chest, but before you can say anything, a hand holding a rag clamps around your mouth. Soap was right outside your door. If you could just— Your scream is muffled as you try to fight off the intruder, swinging your knife back and hitting flesh, trying to stomp on their foot, kick them, anything. The intruder lets out a strangled cry from your stab, pulling your head back farther. You know you’ve made contact when you feel blood trickle down your hand. Serves them right for trying to kidnap you. The intruder wraps their arm around your torso, yanking you back as they shove the rag over your nose, forcing you to inhale the fumes.

Your movements become more sloppy as the fumes enter your nostrils, your eyes fluttering as you fight with everything in you to stay awake. Your knife clatters on the ground as you become limp.

“That’s it, go to sleep,” a man’s voice whispers in your ear, sending a cold chill throughout your body. And with that, you succumb to unconsciousness.
