Hi would you possibly consider the following idea?
Vox had a human wife who as far as he knew when alive was a perfect house wife and had no sins. She died young due to a mugging gone wrong and when he died himself and arrived in Hell he assumed she was in Heaven.
However reader is also in Hell for multiple murders of people who flirted with her husband/got in the way of his goals/tried to harm him
Reader doesn't realise Vox is her husband/in hell until Voxtech/The Vs becomes a big thing.
Thanks for reading hope its a good idea.
Cannibal Town never cared much for gossip outside its borders. We had our own rhythms, our own feasts, our own ways of ignoring the world unless it broke down our doors.
So I didn’t hear the rumors until they’d grown teeth.
Whispers of war. Heaven getting bolder. Hell sharpening its claws. And a name everyone said with equal parts awe and fear:
Some overlord… some machine tyrant… someone powerful enough to provoke angels.
Normally I wouldn’t have cared. But something inside me—something old, something bone-deep—pulled like a hook under my ribs. A strange tug that wouldn’t go away.
So for the first time in nearly a century, I left Cannibal Town.
And the moment I stepped outside, the feeling got sharper. Heavier. Like something was… watching me.
Not in the predatory way I was used to.
Like I used to be watched every day by the same pair of warm blue eyes.
Until my eyes closed forever.
I shake the thought off and follow the rumors through the city until I reach the tower.
It’s massive—sleek metal and mirrored glass, electricity humming up its spine like a heartbeat. The closer I get, the stronger that tug becomes, like invisible hands are guiding me to the front door.
The second I step inside the lobby—
Blue electricity bursts through the air like a whip.
I flinch, throw my hands up—
The lobby dissolves around me, melting into static.
When the light clears, I’m standing in… an office?
No—an aquarium. A room surrounded by glass tanks full of glowing blue liquid, bubbling softly. Sharks swim through the water, reminding me of my husband’s obsession with them. Screens line the room like ghostly faces, flickering with glitching light.
At the center is a massive desk. A throne-like chair.
My heart thuds painfully.
A voice crackles from everywhere at once—speakers, screens, the air itself.
Something touches my face.
A large hand—blue claws, familiar in shape even if I’ve never seen them before. The grip is rough, startled, then instantly gentles, trembling against my cheek.
And a TV screen stares back.
A man. A man with a television for a head, his blue eyes blown wide with shock.
“…Honey bunny?” he breathes.
Nobody has called me that in ninety years.
My throat tightens painfully. “Vincent?”
His hand falls from my face like I burned him. Electricity crackles off his shoulders, losing all sense of direction.
He stumbles back a step, shaking his head. “Darling… what are you doing down here? How are you alive? How did you survive the exterminations?”
His voice cracks. His body glitches, pixels jumping as if even he can’t hold himself together.
“I thought— I thought you were in heaven. You can’t be— you can’t—”
His right eye flickers, and I see it clearly now: a thin, jagged crack across the glass. Like someone hit him. Like someone broke him.
“Vincent, breathe,” I say softly, stepping toward him.
“No— no, don’t—” His voice spikes, distorts. “It’s not Vincent. It’s Vox. I’m not— I’m not him anymore—”
The lights in the tanks flare. Sparks rain from the ceiling. His whole body shudders like a system overload.
“Vinnie,” I say, firm, using the nickname only I ever used, the one that made him blush when he was human. “Look at me. Breathe.”
I grab his arm—hard—and yank him toward me. He startles, claws flexing in panic, but I hold tighter, grounding him the way I used to when nightmares woke him at 3 a.m.
“I said breathe, or I will stab you, I swear to God.”
His whole body jerks—then folds.
His knees give out, and he collapses against me.
I catch him easily, arms wrapping around his shaking form. He grips my clothes with desperate strength, like I’m the only thing keeping him from falling apart.
He drags in a ragged, stuttering breath.
“W-why?” His voice is a glitching whisper against my neck. “How? You were good. Pure. You… you shouldn’t be here.”
I stroke my fingers along the back of his head, across the warm hum of his screen. “I’m here. That’s what matters.”
I tilt his face up gently.
“My sweet, silly man. You never knew everything.”
He stills. A silent question in his burning blue eye.
“I wasn’t perfect,” I whisper. “People who flirted with you… people who hurt you… people who tried to ruin your life? I made sure they didn’t get the chance.”
“You— you did that for me?”
“I’d do much worse,” I confess, brushing my thumb over the cracked corner of his screen. “You were my entire world. You still are.”
He stares at me like I’m a miracle he doesn’t know how to hold.
His claws rise tentatively—almost afraid—and curl against my waist.
“Please,” he whispers, trembling, “tell me you’re real.”
“Tell me you’re staying.”
“I’ll never leave you again.”
He makes a broken, static-laced sound—half a gasp, half a sob.
And he pulls me into a kiss.
It’s desperate, electric, almost painful in its intensity. His screen presses warmth against my mouth, static tingling along my lips as though he’s afraid I’ll disappear if he stops touching me.
I kiss him back just as fiercely, my hands holding the edge of his screen, my body against his.
He holds me like someone drowning.
When we finally break apart, he rests his forehead against mine.
“Ninety years,” he whispers. “Ninety years without you. I became a monster.”
“You became powerful,” I correct gently. “And I’m proud of you.”
His claws dig lightly into my back as he pulls me into another crushing embrace. “Don’t ever leave again. Don’t ever—”
“I won’t,” I murmur into his chest. “Not even death could keep me away. You should know that by now.”
He laughs—small, broken, relieved. “God, I missed you.”
I smile into his shoulder.
“We have a lot to catch up on,” I say softly.
His eye brightens, warming with a love that never died. “Then we’ll start now… Honey Bunny.”
“And you’re still my Vinnie,” I whisper.
He shudders, holding me tighter.
“You have no idea,” he breathes, “how long I’ve waited to hear that again.”
