updated my multichapter radioapple fic (linked here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/75043786/chapters/196090761) with another alastor pov! not as much lucifer in this chapter as there was in chapter 4 or 5 (he is still there however, as it is a 7.4k long chapter after all XD), but i'm nevertheless pretty proud of the outcomes of alastor and lilith's conversation here:
Prying himself from out of the chair he was seated in, it's easy to make his next words appear inconsequential. “I remember you speaking of your discerning taste when it comes to records, Your Majesty…is that still in the books for this evening parley?” “An evening parley, is it?” Lilith repeats back to him, humming to herself as she rises from her chair. “…An interesting choice in diction for what is, for all intents and purposes, simply two potential allies making each other's acquaintance, wouldn't you say?” Alastor finds himself grinning, despite himself. “Well, Your Majesty, it is just that I find that I am better off treating everyone as an enemy who must first be persuaded to an armistice, rather than someone who I blindly trust to already be a sure and done deal.”
