Vox didn't take Alastor's rejection well, and used his hypnosis power on Alastor to make him agree to the partnership and, surprisingly, it worked.
Alastor is confused, doesn't understand how the fuck he got himself into this, and why the hell he's trusing Vox so much, when he doesn't even trust himself. And it's absolutely not like him to drink so much that he can't remember the end of the day, but this keeps happening and Alastor hates this. Pieces are in his hands, but falling apart and he can't make a clear picture, because few are missing... someone has to help him figure out, what the hell is happening.

This AU contains exploration and depiction of dark and heavy themes, like sexual assault, rape and abuse. If you are sensetive to this kind of stuff, I do not recommend reading. Proceed with caution.
Alastor and Vox make a deal, but later Alastor realises that he overestimated himself and can't pay the price. It doesn't bother Vox in the slightest though, he wants what was promised to him and will not budge.
Timeline and changes: after that scene in the bar Vox sucked it up and kept hanging out with Alastor. Hypnosis and Forced Broadcast events never happened. Alastor now knows about Vox's feelings and sees it as something to laugh at, and maybe use.
Now, let me yap a little bit here. Bare with me, it's somewhat important.
Usually i don't post masterpost before the comic itself, but, as you may guess, this comic is a... special case. The cover sums up the AU pretty much, and this isn't type of thing that i usually do. Usually i try to avoid sexual topics at all, because it makes me uncomfortable, but i guess the fact that Hazbin is an adult show and doesn't shy away from sexual topics, it kinda also makes me think about it too? And lately i felt like all the ways i torture Alastor in my works just isn't enough.
At first i didn't even want to draw this idea. But when i told it in my discord, several people got really excited about it, and wanted to see it, so, i decided to make this comic. But i thought, i'd just leave it discord exlusive, because it felt too dark and too out of character for me to make something like this on public.
And then i learned that apparently April is Sexual Assauls awarnes and prevention month and this comic fit right in the topic. And here's the thing, usually i rarely make occasion/event themed stuff in time (the pride series was an exception), so, the fact that i got this idea right before the month made me think that it wasn't a coincidence. Maybe someone out there needs to see this.
And trust, if not me, than my discord folks, that i didn't sexualize of romanticize any of this stuff and bad things are portrayed as bad, and not downplayed.
This comic is rather short, compared to my other long running comics (only 65 pages) (trust me, it's a small comic, considering that Forced broadcast may have over 200 sketched by the time of writing this post), and Alastor WILL get out of this situation, i know for some people that can be deciding factor on whether or not read the story. And no, this isn't smut. This gets as graphic as episode 4 of season 1, but nothing more. This comic may later get additional content, dedicated to Alastor dealing with trauma and his healing process.
I'm not putting tw tags on this post, but I will be tagging parts of the comic with TW tags for SA, especially those with most graphic scenes, and i will try to hide graphic pages under cut.
And once again, if you don't feel comfortable, you aren't obligated to read this comic, no matter how much of a dedicated fan of my works you are. Just in case. Your own mental health should be more valuable than anything else.

Sadly, Vox is back to life. And the story isn't over. But wait... NO WAY, THEY CAN TALK?!!!
Alastor is trying to sell the deal breaking to Vox as if Vox is the one who needs it, Like it's not Alastor who hates his life every day since they had sex. He is too prideful and too afraid to look weak to admit, that he would rather die forever than have sex ever again.
Also, if you missed my post, saying it here. I had a dream that was repeating the plot of this comic and i was Alastor. I DIDN'T LIKE THAT. So thats why this part kinda took longer, i think i need to slow tf down, but i can't. Like, when i don't have 100500 comments flying in every second, i'm like I NEED MORE, I NEED TO POST ANOTHER PART I NEED COMMENTS!!!!!!!!! and then i go and speedrun next pages...

Bonus. I think this sums up the whole comic. chain in Alastor's hand, like he has control of the situation, but the same hand has chain on it as well, and his face and neck have marks of abuse he suffers from

Woah it's not even 5 in the morning im earrrlyyy (who cares its white nights here at this time of the year and the sun is almost up already). um, anyway-
made this for some people that keep asking these. Mostly in tiktok, but sometimes here as well.
was debating on the last page, if i even should add it. It had different text, and even different setting, but it was too similar to the previous page... and then i sketched this and people in discord were destroyed, ao i was like, okay im adding that in.
I... i honestly lost the logic of Alastor's time manipulation, but it's there trust, i'm just dumb, and i could grasp the logic of that plan only for a short time, that was enough to sketch everything out, and then i lost it.
But basically, Alastor cut out 2 days, so if Vox catches on the leap year thing, Al would still have one day for safety. Or if vox suspected that Alastor somehow messed with calendars (which he did) and decided to wait one more day. But basically Alastor was pretending the whole year that he's not planning to look for any ways out, and kept playing the docile boyfriend role, so Vox wouldn't be suspicious.
And he even found some random alcoholic to chellenge Vox and make him drink to blackout (Vox knows Alastor has higher Alcohol tolerance and if Alastor would suggest a challenge, he would be suspicious of it)
I even had a whole scene in my head with said alcoholic and Alastor hiring him, bit then i decided that the comic doesn't need 10 pages of backstory for this random guy, so it never made it even in the first draft. Basically it's all in the dialogue, but in case you didn't get it because of course someone didn't: his wife sold his child for some drugs, and he made a deal with Alastor that Alastor would put her on the broadcast for a favour in return.
Usually Alastor doesn't do "requests" or even "commissions" (lol) because like. First of, radio is his form of art, his hobby, and he knows better than anyone when you try to make a profit out of your hobby, it stops being a hobby. That's why i don't do commissions too, haha. But in this case he's really despearte, and doesn't have much to offer to a random alcoholic he doesn't know, and being the asking position isn't his style.
Also, at this point i realised that to most people in hell in the alvox relationships Alastor is the predator, taking advantage of this cute naive newby in hell (10 years being dead is nothing) (Alastor has been dead for just slightly over 30 years, and in scale of eternal suffering it's also nothing, but people tend to forget that because of his power).
Somewhere like 60 years later, on r/radiodemon someone asks "how bad of a person you should be for TRD call you a monster?". Theories, theories...
