Cautions - SEXUAL THEMES (heavily hints at it, but still minors do not interact with this post because idk how far this goes in spice standards), no spoilers, DRINKING mention (DO NOT DRINK AND GET BUSY PEOPLE), Scanlan and reader are clearly stated to be slightly intoxicated in this and they are both consenting adults. Mention of BRANDING (on reader, past injury), MENTIONS OF DEATH AND KILLING, again, Bhaal is a god of murder and blood sacrifices from what I remember
Genre - Angst (hint of spice but nothing extreme)
Type - fic, series
Comments - Went in a bit of a different direction with this one! I liked it, a bit out of my comfort zone though. I would like to remind everyone though that just because this post gets a little spicy does NOT mean I'll be taking NSFW requests. I might consider spicier ones but for now I would prefer if you continued for wholesome/angst requests as I get more comfortable with writing again. I would like to make it known however that I am not a minor, a legal adult but will not be disclosing my age, but have personal preferences. (Originally this note was gonna say that this wasn't directed at anyone but that did change. I'm not changing my og plot because of the ask. I spent some time trying to get it just right sooo yeah, no, keeping my semi-spicy plot but not posting full on banging.)
Part 2—part 3 (you're here)—part 4 (not done yet)
Demon Worshipper, or redemption seeker?
The day was a success! Vox Machina not only successfully completed a mission (from a frankly shady guy) but got an extremely good payout for their quick work.
And guess what the party’s first choice is with their newly earned coin? The pubs all across this new town, who knew nothing about them and their.. rowdy escapades after they’ve gotten some liquor in them.
But sadly, the town learned quickly that they were in for a bad time. Very quickly the party got drunk, some more than others, while only a couple were merely sipping on their drinks.
In other words, Grog, Pike, Vex, and Keyleth were getting smashed. Then you, Scanlan, Vax, and Percy were just getting a nice buzz on. The 4 drunker ones got into several fights, leaving the entire party to be kicked out of every single bar, and inn apparently?? Word spreads fast of their rambunctious drinking I suppose.
Nonetheless, Vox Machina managed to find a decent spot in the forest outside of the town to set up camp. Keyleth passed out rather quickly, only small mumbles being heard from her tent. Vax drug his tipsy sister to their own tent, then Pike and Grog passing out against a tree nearby. Which left you, Scanlan, and Percy talking about this and that, mostly story telling.
The stories the three of you told were mostly before Vox Machina was formed, which was sort of nice. Talking around a campfire always happened, especially with you and Scanlan.
Speaking of which, “Alright you two, I’ll be turning in. Be sure to put the fire out before you go to sleep as well.” Right on time Percy. “Of course we will, you go on and rest that pretty head of yours.” Scanlan, ever the sweet talker leaned back, giving the white haired man his signature smile even through his slurred words.
Percy hummed, before walking to his own tent as gracefully as ever. Scanlan and you were the only ones by the fire now. Your face was warm, ‘From the fire, surely’ but it wasn’t. And you knew it wasn’t. It’s from being alone with Scanlan, the gnome being the object of your affection as of late. Almost everyone in the party could tell, everyone except him. It’s almost comical with how much you try to subtly show Scanlan how you feel. You’d think he’d see it almost immediately thanks to his ‘keen eyes’ he claims to have.
”Sooo, you have any other stories from your hometown? Or are you too busy staring at me?” The sudden voice from said gnome pulled you out of your thoughts, joined by him quirking his eyebrows up and down suggestively. You hadn’t realized that you were staring until now, how embarrassing!
But you chuckled, the alcohol in your system causing you to forget that you were trying to not be too bold. “Too busy staring, it’s hard to take my eyes off of you.” Your words may’ve been slurred slightly, and your mind foggy from the drinks earlier, but you’ve never felt this surge of confidence to genuinely flirt with Scanlan.
And it looks like your words did something to Scanlan, a small blush appearing on his tanned cheeks, but his smirk only grew. “Y’know, I was just thinking the exact same thing about you.” And now it was your turn to have the blush covered cheeks, but you didn’t back down. If anything, this encouraged you to continue flirting with him. “You always brag about your ‘conquests’ when it’s just us. How about you put those brags to good use?”
Scanlan only chuckled before standing up, holding his hand out for you to take. “My pleasure, but we’re gonna have to get a little ways away from the camp, if you follow.” He winked, and you felt giddy as you took his warm, soft hand and let him lead you hand in hand further into the forest but not far enough to lose sight of the camp.
With the faint glow of the campfire behind you and the gnome tugging you along, he finally stopped, making sure to pull you close by your waist. “You still want this, hot stuff?” He held your chin gently, gazing into your eyes with a fire you’ve never seen before. Though the both of you were a little too tipsy to be doing this with a right mind, he still wanted to make sure you truly wanted this.
You sighed dreamily, leaning your face closer to Scanlan’s so your foreheads were touching. “Does this answer your question?” And with that, you leaned in and kissed him. He was quick to return the kiss, showing all of the experience he’s gathered up to this point. And boy, was he experienced.
After just a few moments he began to tug you closer to the ground, trying to get more situated. Your back was laid against the grass, your lips never leaving the other’s. If anything the kiss got deeper, more passionate. Scanlan licked your bottom lip, gently asking for entrance which you granted with a sigh. The gnome reached one of his hands to your shirt, gently pulling up and feeling your bare side. You shuddered as his hand gently drifted around your torso, feeling your muscles and skin with an equally skilled touch.
As he felt around your torso he reached behind your back when he felt something.. rough? He felt around a little, trying to keep you occupied with the kiss, but you noticed with a flinch, pulling away from the kiss in a panic, leaving Scanlan confused and panting from the deep kiss. “Are you hurt?? What is on your back?” From what he could feel still, with his hand still under your shirt, was something circular? And a pattern in the middle of it. You quickly pulled his hand out from underneath your shirt to stop him from feeling your back, from him finding out your secret..
”Hey hey hey,” he cooed softly, pulling back from you completely to let you relax. He sobered up for the most part, the gnome being concerned with how much you freaked out, and he wasn’t entirely sure why. “You’re fine, I’m not gonna touch you anymore, I’m just worried.”
You quickly readjusted your clothes while avoiding Scanlan’s worried gaze, tears starting to form in the corner of your eyes. “I guess we drank a little too much..” Scanlan huffed as he sat down on the forest floor, letting you get recuperated. “You don't have to tell me anything, and I apologize for letting the alcohol maneuver me a little. Just.. let me help you back to camp so you can pass out in your tent and sleep it off.”
His voice is filled with worry, but sincere all the same. You glanced suspiciously at him but relented. That sudden burst of adrenaline made you tired, the alcohol only making it worse.
“Fine..” was all you slurred out, letting Scanlan take your hand even more gently than before, leading you back to camp, almost as if you hadn’t left. Grog was still snoring loudly, Pike leaned up against him like always. The twins were still shut in their tent it seemed. Percy was snoozing in a smaller tent nearby, then there was your tent and Scanlan’s, cozied up rather close, but leaving enough distance to allow privacy.
The gnome gently guided you into your tent, tucking you in but not before giving you some water to help with dehydration tomorrow. Then with one final peck on your forehead, you fell asleep, dreaming of who knows what.
~~~~~~~~~~
That morning you awoke to poor Keyleth puking her guts out, barely making it out of her tent. The ruckus caused everyone to wake with a groan, and a massive hangover.. For most of them at least. You awoke with a minor headache, but nothing too bad. Scanlan was already tuning his lute, trying to liven up the party with his music.
“If that isn’t a song that can get rid of our hangovers. Stop, or I’ll break the damn lute.” A very queasy Vex threatened, although it wasn’t too threatening as she threw up almost immediately after. You would’ve chuckled if you weren’t too busy trying to remember what all had happened after Percy left to go to bed. “I- I second that..” Poor Keyleth.
“Oh hush, none of you would be in this situation if you hadn’t tried to drink the tavern dry. Again.” Percy, ever the encouraging man, explained for the party. “Just because you’re allergic to having fun Percy doesn’t mean everyone else is. Let them enjoy it for once instead of being.. What’s the word, a prude?” The bard struck back quickly.
You almost laughed, but got busy cleaning up some of the camp site to help the others out a little. As you cleaned and took down tents you couldn’t help but feel Scanlan’s eyes follow you. He always looked away to focus on something else by the time you turned your head, but you could feel his stare linger onto your back. And that, made you concerned.
‘What happened last night? After Percy left it turned into some giant blur. I remember walking off, I think? Why did we walk into the forest??’
You hadn’t even realized the whole camp was packed up until you’d found yourself with nothing left to do. And even after all of it, you came up with nothing. That feeling that something happened within that blur wasn’t comfortable. But there’s only one person that might know, and his name is Scanlan. Is that why he’s so quiet?? He hasn’t said a single word, mostly just humming and strumming his lute mindlessly. He’s never this quiet.. Something happened.
The realization struck you like a bull. ‘Does he know?? No way, he’d look way more concerned if he did. Maybe even.. scared. Either that, or he’s got a really good poker face.’
You sighed, knowing you’d have to ask at some point. You’d known the party for roughly a year now, but you never imagined ever having to tell them about your past.
~~~
The party was finally on their way to another town, and most of them were talking, laughing, telling a joke, but not Scanlan. He looked nonchalant but you knew that wasn’t entirely true.
You lagged behind the party, trying to come up with a way to try and talk to Scanlan without the others overhearing it and having questions of their own. The gnome in question glanced back at you, making some awkward eye contact, but didn’t say anything.
It wasn’t just you that noticed the awkward tension; however. Vax caught on quickly, but waited until now to go check on you.
“So, what’s happening with you and Scanlan? Some sort of lovers quarrel last night after we all went to bed?” He joked, but still meant well. Him and Scanlan are rather friendly, so he was able to notice quickly that the bard was quieter than normal, even with the party being so lively. But you shook your head, keeping an uncertain look as you stared at Scanlan, wondering.
“I’m.. not even sure. After Percy went to bed, Scanlan and I stayed up, just talking. I vaguely remember walking into the forest, but nothing after that. Something happened, or something was said.. And I’m afraid of what it was.” You wrapped your arms around your torso, trying to soothe your rising anxiety and worry. Nothing about this feels right, and you don’t want him to hate you for things you’re trying to change about yourself. Bhaal.. He was the most important thing for the better part of your life, but you want nothing to do with him anymore. You’re following the path of redemption, trying to better yourself each and every day.
Your thoughts spiraled, going back to the same conclusion: Scanlan has to know. There’s no other reason he wouldn’t be acting like this. But why hasn’t he said anything to the others? Him of all people would blab about that first thing he got the chance.
“I’m sure if you just talk to him, he’ll tell you. He doesn’t hold grudges for very long. Especially not against you. Do you not realize how smitten you are for each other? He’d be a fool.”
The half-elf chuckled, but patted you on your shoulder all the same. Vax quickly caught up with the rest of the party, leaving you with your thoughts and a tiny boost of confidence to try and ask Scanlan what happened the night before.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can’t do it. But surely you’re able to get over the fact that you and Scanlan are sharing a room for the night. Totally fine.
“Sooooo.. About last night.” Shit. “I’m sorry that I… kind of pushed you, even when we were too drunk to be trying to do anything.”
Wait, what? “What? I don’t even remember what happened last night, Scanlan. That’s why I was so distant and-” “No! Gods, I thought you were pissed at me!”
He laughed, and you joined him. It almost made you forget why you were talking about last night. Almost. “Why would I be mad, Scanlan? Did something happen?”
Scanlan hesitated, realizing that you really didn’t know anything. And so, he explained everything. From the both of you making out, to him feeling you up, to him feeling something odd on your back and how you freaked out, pushing him away.
Your blood froze, knowing exactly what he felt. Your branding, the last piece of your old life that you can’t just scrub or pray away no matter how much you try. It’s forever stuck with you, a constant reminder of the lives you took, of the strength it took to finally get away and start a new life to try and redeem yourself. And now? It’s coming back, all those memories you tried to keep away when nights got too quiet, and you got too deep in your thoughts. The constant ache of regret and sorrow of the lives that were lost thanks to the selfishness of the people that ran that cult. Scanlan doesn’t know what you did, but he deserves to know.. If you want him to stop worrying, and to truly trust and understand you fully.
“Scanlan.. I need to tell you something. And, I need you to listen to me. Okay?” He’s.. surprised, but nods, sitting silently just across from you. With that, you begin your tale.
A tale filled with bloodshed, a need to fit in and survive, of corrupted rulers, and the realization of what you’d been made to do. It all surprised Scanlan, and disgusted him a little. Yes, he still cares for you, and realizes that you’re doing what you can to redeem yourself and change for the better, but those things still happened. Though, he guesses he’ll just have to appreciate those parts of you as well.
When you finished, you sighed, ready for Scanlan to blurt out insults and accusations. Instead, you’re met with a gentle hum of acknowledgement. “M’kay. You’re different now, you’re trying to change unlike those assholes who dragged you into their fucked up religion for some desperate grab at power. You’re not like them anymore, so don’t feel ashamed of that chapter of your life.”
The relief that washed over you was immense, and so calming. “You don’t think I’m a monster? You don’t think that I should一should burn in hell for the rest of eternity??” Damn, this gnome has a grip on your heart that almost makes you laugh again. Of course he wouldn’t judge you! It’s almost silly how concerned you were to begin with.
“Of course not, you idiot! Sure, you did some things, but you’re acting like we just didn’t beat a shit ton of people with an inch of their lives for some gold in the back of our pockets. If anything, you being an ex-assassin makes you super badass! And if I’m being honest, kind of hot.” He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at you, being his normal, silly, flirtatious self. You laughed, finally feeling content with your past after so long of hating it and worrying that it’ll come back to bite you in the ass someday.
“Thank you, Scanlan. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to repay you for the kindness you’ve shown me tonight.” With a sincere and gentle smile, you reach towards him and lightly grasp his hand, enjoying the warmth that emanated from it naturally. “Ohhhh, I have a couple of ways in mind you could repay me. After all, we never finished our ‘special forest makeout’ session the other night. Mind if we, continue?”

Could you write a Laios x reader where reader gets injured right on the side kinda underneath her breast and Marcille tells Laios to heal her so he has to cup her breast in his hand. Laios and reader aren't in a relationship yet but have mutual attraction towards eachother so it's a little embarising but over all cute and fluffy and please so smut if possible. I'm sorry if that's to specific but I've had this scenario in my head for a while.
Could you please look at my rules? I forget which one specifically it is but it said NO SMUT because writing that currently makes me uncomfortable.
I didn't even see the smut part until I read through it a second time when I was starting to consider writing this. So, no. I apologize, but please read my rules next time.
I'M FREE TO COMMENT!!! My Dungeon Meshi boys w/ shy reader request is so good! Don't worry about it! It's good you didn't force yourself to write 👍 I understand that it's your personal opinion about Chilchuck! I love it especially how dense Laios is 🤣, both of you definitely didn't get together at first 😅, you're happy to listen to him talk about monsters 🗣️, Marcille & Falin loves it while Senshi is neutral & Chilchuck isn't thrilled about it 😠, you get along with Falin enough that she gives her blessings to you two 😊, he's more than happy to voice out whatever you whispered about what you're unhappy about to others 👂 🗣️, It might be weird for me to say this considering I requested this but I agree about Chilchuck 💯, I like the idea of him getting closer but refused to say anything because of his principles 🤐, you were shocked from Falin's transformation that he saved you (●__●), he actually blurted out his feelings 😲, your relationship with him is kept low profile as he doesn't want Marcille to scold him 😂, he would be able to read you 📖, I agree that it's cute if he's paired with a gentle giant 😍, you discuss recipes with Senshi 🗣️🥘, both of you take turns to tell stories 👍, you're not shy with him 🗣️, he has a charm of an older man 😌, he realised both of your feelings quickly & confessed when everyone is asleep except both of you (゜o゜; I'm pretty sure he never dated anyone either XD, he would talk for you despite being quiet himself 🗣️, you have your own non-verbal language with him 👐, and how wholesome it is 🥰 Thank you so much for doing my request because I love it so much :)
Of course!! It was a joy to do even though it took so long lol 💕💕
And thank you sooo much for your patience! It really makes my day already cause I just got up and saw this
Can I request headcanons for Chilchuck, Senshi, and Laios with shy GN s/o please?
Cautions - SPOILERS, Chilchuck being mean, Nemari the human shield™️ mention, Falin getting eaten, feral Falin, ooc (?) Chilchuck in his part, cursing cause I can
Type - fluff <3
Genre - head canon
Comments - ooooo, I love shy asks and idk why lmao. but absolutely anon 🫶 (don't ask why this took so long I beg of you 😭) slight confession route in Chil's part. Keep in mind that Chilchuck's part is my personal opinion based on how I perceived his personality in the show. Some of you may not agree with me, and that's fine, but be kind with your opinions 🫶
Dungeon Meshi boys w/ shy reader
Laios
He's dense asf
Y'all didn't get together for a HOT MINUTE
But when you do it's so cute omfg
Cause he's yapping on about different monsters and you're just there happy to listen to him 🥰
Marcille loves that you two got together
(let's say y'all got together after Falin got eaten by the dragon but before she was recovered.. mostly)
Chilchuck isn't the happiest though, he's strict about relationships mixing with business so he's a little pissy but he gets over it
Senshi doesn't care ngl, enjoys that he was there for you two to finally get together (he noticed almost immediately how you felt about each other when y'all first met)
Falin when she's finally gotten her bearings is so happy her big bro finally got with you (I'm telling you EVERY FUCKING BODY KNEW EXCEPT Y'ALL-)
With you being quiet you got along well with Falin before she got ate, she even told you about her time in the academy!
You two were close, not as close as her and Marcille, but enough so that she approved and gave you her blessing ☺️
Laios is loud enough for the both of you
When it came to that one dwarf couple that used poor Nemari as a shield he could tell that you were livid
He didn't appreciate her leaving either, but she didn't deserve to be used as a human shield either
He asked you to whisper whatever was going on in your mind to him, then he immediately said it out loud for them to hear
He doesn't entirely care that they're offended by whatever you say, because it's probably justified due to how selfish they are
He's there to help you speak your thoughts whenever your voice is too small, or for whenever you can't put it into the right words <33
Chilchuck
Yeahhh, probably not ngl
For one, he's married
I LVOE Chilchuck as much as the next person, and I want him to leave his wife for me, but it's clear that he still loves her in some capacity
Even if they're more than likely to separate or he's already gotten over her there's going to be a place for her in his heart
(idk what all happens in the manga I'm hella behind y'all but bear with me here)
Plus, he's incredibly strict about keeping things professional
No mixing business and pleasure
If he were to even catch feelings for you, he wouldn't make any advances or accept your feelings should you confess.
But hey, maybe something shifts during your adventure to save Falin (like when the 3 different parties got attacked by her mayhaps)
His first reaction is to grab you and to take you far away from the battle because you're frozen with fear (besties with Falin again cause I love her) cause your best friend had changed so much and is now incredibly hostile
Chil got ahold of Senshi's pan and squeezed the both of you under it
During this moment, he realizes that if he didn't pull you out of there there's a chance you could've died
And so, he blurts out that he loves you, even if you didn't return his feelings
Blah blah blah you kiss blah blah blah you're low-key together now but it's SUPER down low
Again, doesn't wanna mix business and pleasure and doesn't want Marcille jumping down his throat about his hypocrisy
But yeah I'd think he's easily able to read you and can just say whatever you're thinking based on facial expressions
Back to Nemari, he's immediately going off on how it's "inhumane" and "betrayous" it is to just use Nemari like some sort of flesh shield without any regards to her feelings on it all
He's softening up to the party and becomes more relaxed though cause ✨trauma bonding✨
But personal opinion, it more than likely wouldn't happen if we're going based upon his canon personality. He's strict to his own rules, even if he lets up once he gets more comfortable
I think he's cute with a shy partner, especially if they're taller
Gentle giant x chaotic gremlin sorta thing if you will
Senshi
Senshi is a fantastic cook and that wins you over
JUST TRUST ME-
All of you can't deny this, this dwarf is a fucking GOD when it comes to cooking
I know all of you are frothing for some of the shit he cooks
Gordon Ramsay be damned
You both discuss recipes and such, and when he gets the chance he tries replicating some of them with a monster twist 😋
And they're so much better than with normal ingredients??
You tell him about your home and the places you've visited outside of the dungeon, and he listens
OH YEAH WE'RE SWITCHING ROLES A LITTLE
You're shy and don't socialize with him at first, but his food is so soothing that you end up talking with him for hours
Shy where? Shy gone with Senshi
You both are talking about the various monsters down here, he tells you some of the crazier ones he's eaten and how he made them into a soup or smth
He won you through your stomach and his sweet older man charm
He's not a dad but he's got that advice like one?? Step up Chil he's got you cornered 🤧
Either way, perfect guy to go to about some things
I'm gonna say that the two of you got together after the golem thing
Sure, Marcille hated that cause it's low-key unethical but meh, they're sick and he's using stuff to his advantage to live peacefully down in the dungeon
Him being so observant noticed the crush you developed, and made him realize his own feelings, and this man doesn't beat around the bush!
He's straight out with it when everyone else is asleep and you decide to stay up with him a little during his watch one night
He's just straight up "I have feelings for you, and I've noticed that you feel a similar way more recently."
But keep in mind, this man might not've ever dated before while living in a dungeon for a good chunk of his dwarven life
He went outside like, once then went back??
Plus he was working on finding somewhere suitable to place his camp, getting a reliable food source, learning how to cook monsters after leaving the orcs, this man got too busy then got into a routine and didn't even bother thinking about getting into a relationship
But ngl it's super cute
Both of you don't talk much, but he talks for you
You came up with your own unspoken language through your hand gestures
Like these squeezes mean this, then this tug means that
Can I request headcanons for Chilchuck, Senshi, and Laios with shy GN s/o please?

He went outside like, once then went back??
Plus he was working on finding somewhere suitable to place his camp, getting a reliable food source, learning how to cook monsters after leaving the orcs, this man got too busy then got into a routine and didn't even bother thinking about getting into a relationship
But ngl it's super cute
Both of you don't talk much, but he talks for you
You came up with your own unspoken language through your hand gestures
Like these squeezes mean this, then this tug means that
Cautions - Fem pronouns, using "Faith", no real descriptions of Faith cause I can't remember how GBA described her 😔
Genre - Fluff, slight angst?
Type - head canons
Comments - Remember Dream World? Wellll, I decided to go more in depth with Faithful's past life with Kerano as well. (I will be referring to Faithful as "Faith" for this since that's technically her name according to GBA, and I wanna stick with this but I can make a Y/N version if anyone wants <3) I'm also gonna make a part two for Albus and Devlin for their past in dream world, then possibly a 3rd part about something idk (probably multiple lol)
If life could be a dream~
Faith is an artist, and always has been. Her early days consisted of her doodling on everything she got her hands on.
And as she grew, so did her talents. Her parents encouraged it, as well as her brother Joshua, who ended up raising little Faith when they were growing up due to their parents being absent for work reasons.
Faith was around 17 when she got her first serious commission from a bakery who felt like the place was getting a bit plain for both the owner and the customers
And boy, it was a SUCCESS >:DD
Faith was given so many compliments when it was done, and several offers for a portrait or 3 🤭
And that had her set for a good while lol, she both bought and made paints for her craft, some canvases while trading her art, and brushes from the market
She's 21 now, and living away from her brother in a different village. Not too far away, but enough so for her to remake her name in the town
It even helped that there were a few people who had traveled to her original village because they had heard of her amazing abilities!
Either way, Faith was set in her little cottage, painting away
She was there for about a year, aged 22
She's made plenty of friends while in the village and made quite the profit!
But one rainy night, as she mulled over her newest piece, a knock came from her front door
Which was.. odd, to say the least
But because she was up, she went to go see who it was even though she was covered in paint
She carefully cracked open the door, prepared with a greeting when she was met with the outdoors, not a single person to be seen
That's what she thought at least until she heard the cries of a small child at her feet, her eyes immediately darting to a small bundle in a basket, crying loudly from the cold rain hitting it
"Goodness.. a child??" Faith thought to herself, immediately grabbing the poor babe and bringing it inside
Her instincts led her, going to the fireplace and holding the small child close to her body to warm it up
As the child felt warmer, safer, it calmed down, cooing softly at the young woman
Faith sighed, feeling relieved when she finally saw the note attached to the basket the baby was in
It read as followed:
"Her name is Kerano, she was born on XX/XX/XX (idk when Kerano was born but assume the note is saying that she's at least 1.) Please, take care of her kind stranger."
There was no signature, or names aside from the name of the child. Kerano
It was a pretty name, one matching the sweet girl with the bright and curious eyes
"Kerano.. you'll be okay, I promise."
And Faith kept that promise for the next 6 years, Kerano turning 7 and Faith turning 28
Kerano has grown up to be a very outgoing, curious, and brave child
She was always outside hunting for bugs and such, and always returning home covered in dirt and scrapes here and there
But Faith never cared, always tending to her scrapes and bathing her thoroughly before they had dinner
They were living the best life ever, and Faith never once regretted keeping Kerano. She was an absolute joy, brightening up the atmosphere whenever she spoke
But, Faith was ready for a new look, a new area to explore and to refresh her inspiration. And so, Faith and Kerano packed up and prepared to move to another village just a few days travel from this one
They had visited before for a commission, and it was a gorgeous town. Bigger than either were used too, but a lot more people there would love to buy her art, and Kerano would be able to explore the new place with other children
Along the way, Faith stopped to paint the scenery, and allowed Kerano to adventure a little, but not too far
This time Faith had the intense need to paint this stream in a small meadow, surrounded by a lightly wooded area
And Kerano was doing her normal adventuring, but this time, she was following a super pretty butterfly and travelled a bit too far
As she was chasing the bug, she failed to see the tree root in the path and tripped on it, but twisted her ankle in the process
It was painful, and she let out a scream proving it
Faith was oblivious of where Kerano had went, and how far, too invested in capturing the beauty for the first time since they left
It startled the woman, but she immediately dropped her palette and brush, looking for her child
She called her name, but could only hear faint calls that didn't lead her anywhere
A man that was in the forest happened to be near the screaming child, and immediately ran to her
He was tall, with dark shoulder length hair partially tied back, a few light scars on his face as well as a short beard
He was in a knights uniform, although it was banged up in a few places, it still shone with the kingdom's insignia
As a knight, his first assumption was bandits, which had been getting more common around these parts
And without a second of hesitation, he drew his sword and ran towards the scream prepared for anything
.. almost
What he didn't expect was a small child clutching her ankle, tears running down her face, framed with equally dark hair
She was scared, staring up at the tall man as he held his weapon still. Which he noticed, immediately putting it away with a small apology but with a wide grin
"Sorry 'bout that, didn't mean to scare you. But I promise I'm not here to hurt you, Knight's honor." He glanced down at the little girl's ankle, already thinking of what might be wrong with it
"Did you hurt your ankle kiddo?" He had several questions in mind, but didn't want to upset the girl further
But she nodded, her tears still flowing, but at a much slower pace
"Mind if I take a look?" She hesitated, probably a good thing. She was taught stranger danger then
"Right, I haven't introduced myself, how rude. I'm Knight Captain Albus York, at your service."
He exaggerated, but it got a smile out of the little girl anyways. "K-Kerano. Nice to meet you Mr."
He chuckled, not really used to being called 'Mr' but hey, she's a nice kid
"Now then, can I take a look? I can't promise it won't hurt, but I can promise that I'll help you feel better."
And as soon as Kerano let Albus touch her ankle, she let out another scream, which helped Faith finally find her
But, Faith immediately assumed that the dark haired man was the one who made her kid scream, so we went on the attack
And damn, she has a good slap
Albus was quick to introduce himself and explain the situation after Kerano caught Faith's attention
She apologized and thanked Albus for helping Kerano :D
Notes - There will be more, but for now I'm gonna leave it here (I hate this ending but it'll hopefully make sense?)
Hey, saw you wanted some angst, and that you write for Vox Machina. How about a short story where Pike sees her s/o killed while they all fight a necromancer, only for her s/o to be raised as a zombie?
Cautions - death, resurrection (this is gonna be gruesome), very harsh detailing, me guessing how a necromancer brings people back to life 💀, lots of unaliving, not short but I don't apologize
Genre - angst (no fluff) HAHAHAHA
Type - oneshot (someone give me a lesson on the different versions of fics, cause I don't think this is right 😭)
Comments - Omg ily 😍 this is gonna hurt my soul, and poor Pike, but it'll be great ✨ (I'm actually gonna start working on that Bhaal worshiper reader eventually, sorry about that! 😭) and the reader is a paladin of sorts, much like Pike, but it's implied mostly. Takes place before season 1?
Undead love
There was so much happening, and it was almost deafening. Blades hitting blades, yelling, cursing, spells being cast, cries of pain.
Fighting a necromancer wasn't entirely new for Vox Machina, having fought undead before, just not the person who makes them rise in the first place. It was.. disturbing, to say the least. Not to mention the stench of death surrounding the party, not that anyone had any time to really smell it anymore.
Vox Machina was brought here for a little extra gold, to figure out why there were so many disappearances in a small village. As the group searched, there were rumors being spread that there was a villager that was exiled due to studying dark magic. And with enough asking around, the group found themselves in a graveyard surrounding a small hut, it nearly covered in dead flora.
It was eerie, but as the group approached, the fight began. Skeletons and partially rotted bodies pulled themselves from the ground, worms and dirt covering them as they charged the group, some hobbling along slowly, but still put up a fight.
You and Pike worked together to put the poor souls to rest, like they should've been. The ones you could get to before the others, atleast. Keyleth did her best to restrain them so you and the gnome could do your thing, but the others were too busy trying not to get mauled or over run by the bodies.
After you had taken down all of the bodies, the creator of them stepped out of their cabin, and they weren't very happy to say the least.
What the villagers didn't tell your group was that this necromancer was very skilled in magical combat, as well as a sword.. so this was going to be a long fight.
Keyleth and Pike did their best to block any arcane shots or other spells, but couldn't get them all. You were always better at close ranged combat, so getting close to the necromancer was tough, but when you did it was even worse.
They had kicked you, slashed at you, tripped you, even some moves you've never seen before! And while you did your best to keep up, it was all for not when they caught you by the neck after they had stunned you by unarming you from your weapon.
You struggled against their grip, trying to kick and scratch your way away from the necromancer. Your party noticed immediately, Pike being the first to run towards you, screaming your name out, asking you to hold on a little longer.
But she was too late.
The necromancer pulled their blade back, then thrusted it through your chest, straight through your heart.
Pike stopped, watching as the necromancer twisted the blade, causing more and more blood to spill out as you screamed. You were begging through tears, begging for any god, your party, anything to save you from this pain.
The rest of the party stopped, tears pricking their eyes as they watched the necromancer play with you. The necromancer couldn't even give you the sweet release of a quick death, no, they drew it out which angered them all, Pike the most.
She didn't quite realize it, but tears were flooding down her face as she let out a pained yell alongside yours, rushing forwards to try and save you.
As she took her first step, the necromancer pulled their sword out of your chest, dropping your quivering body to the floor as they pointed their blade to your neck..
Pike stopped again, screaming out in horror as the necromancer plunged their blade into your neck, finally ending your life.
She fell to her knees, her shield disappearing in her sorrow. "N-No.. Starli-" she couldn't even finish her sentence before she threw up. She hunched over as she emptied her stomach onto the long dead grass, feeling weak and helpless.
The necromancer laughed before they began to dip their fingers into your blood on the ground, and.. drawing?
The rest of Vox Machina looked on in horror as the necromancer started to mumble in what sounded like old Latin. The markings they drew began to glow green, catching the attention of the grieving gnome several feet away.
The flow got brighter and brighter, the necromancer continued their mumbling as they stood again, using their blade to make a small gash in their palm, blood already dripping down.
They squeezed their cut open palm over your chest, where the wound was, and over some of the runes they drew before. The glow turned a deep red as it soaked into the ground, pulsing green yet again, signalling the spell had worked. Not that Vox Machina knew.
"Rise, my newest soldier, hear my orders!" The voice boomed throughout the forest, many flocks of birds nearby flying away out of fear, and shook Vox Machina to the bone.
Pike watched in a rekindled horror as you slowly rose again, a dead look in your eyes as blood dribbled down your chest, neck, and mouth. Your skin looked pale, the left over blood still pouring out of your wounds. Your eyes are glowing green now, showing that you were no longer there even if Vox Machina could see your body Infront of them.
"Y-you... Monster..!" Pike wasn't just angry, she was furious. Not only had the necromancer tortured you before they ended your life, but they refused to let you rest. How dare they?
She stood up, albeit on wobbly legs to confront the necromancer again. The rest of the party quickly can forward, standing beside Pike as they readied their weapons.
The necromancer only chuckled as they placed a hand on your shoulder, giving you a command that Vox Machina would've never been prepared for.
"Kill them, but leave that little gnome there for last." They stepped back, but you charged forwards, towards Vox Machina with your weapon in hand.
Even though you had risen again just moments ago your fighting was still top notch, which nearly bested poor Grog, who was still shaking and not quite processing you coming towards him.
He did his best, but you were too quick, taking any chance to strike him, but it came to a stop when a mace struck your side, flinging you a good few feet away from Grog. But it didn't do much as you were back up on your feet almost immediately.
Grog was terrified, not because of you, oh no, he could handle you.. mostly. It was Pike, and how she used her mace against you. But everyone knew that there would be no getting you back, and Pike knew it, she just needed to get close enough to lay you to rest.
"I'm going to take care of them, the rest of you deal with the necromancer!" Her voice quivered, but she kept herself as composed as she looked in your unfeeling, glowing green eyes. She loved you, so much. But this needed to be done by her.
"Pike, you can't be-" Percy tried to interject, but Pike cut him off immediately. "No! I need to be the one to do this." Her eyes were filled with unshed tears, her brows turned upwards but filled with determination regardless.
No one dared to disagree, but they were all worried about Pike, especially as she was about to fight her now undead lover.
As much as everyone wanted to help, there was no changing her mind, no matter how much they wanted to. And so, they went and fought the necromancer, and let her put you to rest..
Pike kept a shaky but firm grip on her mace as she approached, her lip trembling as she looked you in your cold, hate filled eyes. As she took in a deep breath, you lunged, weapon in hand and ready to end Pike.
You were fast, too fast, but she's trained with you for too long to not know your moves. She knew your preferred weapons, the weight of them, the style, and how you used them against enemies. The only thing she didn't know was how you went for the kill, which threw everything she knew out the window as you threw a small knife at her.
She dodged it, turning her body to the left as it flew right by her throat. Pike would've done something back, but you swung your leg into her iron clad chest, knocking the wind out of her as she landed on the ground, mace forgotten somewhere along the dead ridden field.
Without giving her a chance to catch her breath you jumped onto her torso, bringing a much sharper knife to her throat. Pike just barely grabbed your wrists before the blade was lodged into her neck, arms shaking as she tries to push you back. Her eyes mist over again, feeling the hatred burn from your eyes as you put all of your weight into inching the blade closer and closer..
"S-Starlight..." Pike begged, even though she knew you couldn't hear her. Her iron clad hands shook, the knife slowly inching closer to her throat. Even though you were trying to kill her, she couldn't help but see the kind soul that was always pushing her to do her best, to make sure she was okay after every fight. But that same face died, and would never smile at her again.
Now, she has to put you to rest. The last thing she ever wanted to do.
Using the littlest bit of strength she had, she moved the blade to stab the ground. Pike took one of her hands off of your wrist, placing it on your forehead, her hand glowing with that familiar, heavenly glow. "Rest, love, and may the Star Bright guide you to where you belong."
Your body slumped, the necromancer's magic forcefully being dissipated. Your once green glowing eyes return to their natural color, and your face that was once filled with anger now looks down at Pike with relief.
The dwarf leaned up, holding onto your still bleeding body as your movements slowed significantly. The dark magic that was being used to forcefully reanimate your body slowly seeping out, but that didn't stop you from bringing your cold blood soaked hand to Pike's cheek. Stroking it softly, you mouth the words 'I love you.'
Tears pricked her eyes, her hand reaching up quickly to cover yours as she muttered those three words back.
And with a soft smile, you close your eyes, letting your body go slack as you die yet again, in her arms this time. Never awaken and hold her close, to reassure her that you'll be alright, and that you both will survive.
Hello! I have a juicy one shot request for you today, full of angst!
It's angel dust x male reader and goes as follows:
Reader and angel were both part of the mafia and secretly became a couple for quite some time but reader died in a shootout a couple of years before angel's death and both angel and reader assume that the other got sent to heaven. Many years pass and by pure chance they meet at a bar but after so many decades in hell they don't really recognize eachother (that and the fact that angel is a spider demon dude helps with him not being very similar to his living self), later that night reader is in bed and he realizes "HOLY SHIT WAS THAT ANTHONY" and immediately runs to the hotel to find angel who also just realized that he met reader just a few hours later. They reunite and cry tears of joy after too many years spent alone in hell

Comments - Nahh, you're good man. No rules broken yet 🤧 BUT OMG I LOVE THIS it's so cute but it's gonna make me wanna cry 😭 (testing out banners, thoughts? Made by me btw in PicsArt) and omg I'm so sorry for being dead 😔 AND, I'm basing this partially on episode 6 where Charlie goes to Heaven. I low-key hate the ending, it feels rushed but I'll probably end up rewriting it later (I'm gonna start adding word counts ISTG)
Till death do us part
Your whole body felt so hot, your heart thumping so loudly in your chest it almost gave you away. You can barely breath, not wanting to give not only your position away, but Anthony's.
It all went wrong.
The information given to both of you was fake, you were set up. They were gonna kill you and him if you were caught. You only had 3 bullets left in your gun, and there were about 5 guys looking for you and Anthony. Shit...
The two of you were hiding behind large crates, trying to come up with a plan and quick. There was an exit to your right, but it would force you to pass by an open area where the guys hunting you down would see you. Trying to make a run for it wouldn't go well, they would just shoot you down. Trying to lay low would just lead to the inevitable, them catching and beating the both of you half to death. But maybe..
"Damnit!" Anthony softly muttered, breaking your line of thought. "What're we gonna do?" All you could do was look at him, with the softest look in your eyes as you told him the only plan you could think of, "We need a distraction."
He was.. confused for a moment, but he quickly caught on as he saw you prepping yourself to run out the opposite way the exit was, but he stopped you by grabbing your shoulder. "I- no! I'm not about to let you get yourself killed just to save my ass!" The trembling hand on your shoulder was an easy sign that he didn't want to leave you here by yourself.
"Anthony, we don't have another choice.." You turned around and placed a hand on his cheek as you continued, "we're sittin' ducks here, and I refuse to let you get caught by these fuckers." There was a determined look in your eyes, but also a softness deep down that showed how much you cared for the mafia boss's son.
"Oh, and I'm just supposed to let you die?" Anthony was on the verge of tears, because he knew you were right, but he didn't want you to get caught by his family's rivals just to get beaten or worse.
"I can escape, you just have to believe in me. Can you do that for me, my angel?" You could feel tears prick your eyes as well, but you forced them back with a soft smile as you leaned your forehead against Anthony's, but all he could do was worry and think the worst. But he nodded, giving you one final passionate kiss before he let you go.
"Don't die on me, got that?" Anthony looked stern, but the tears in his eyes told a different story. As you nodded, you could hear the footsteps and jeers of your rivals get closer, this was your only chance to get Anthony, your angel, out of this mess.
You jumped out, letting your last bullets fly strategically as Anthony ran under the radar, through the door, and into the outside as quickly as he could. Every shot he heard made his heart sink, but he still held out hope. You promised him after all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Angel Dust sat straight up in his bed, panting softly as he woke up from that nightmare. The day he lost his everything.
He didn't notice until fat nuggets licked his face to try and comfort him, but tears were running down his cheeks from the painful memories. He remembered that day like it was just yesterday, even after so many years had passed.
Angel sat up, wiping away any left over tears to start getting ready for the day.
After he finished his morning routine, he slowly walked down the stairs to the main lobby of the Hazbin Hotel and was greeted by Charlie's smiling face and overly excited personality.
Her voice was too loud, considering he was still hungover from the night before, but had a new outlook on life and it was thanks to Husk. "Mornin' Char, we doin' anything today?" Angel yawned, stretching both pairs of arms and arching his back slightly.
"Yep! 'Cause I've got some big news for everyone! Speaking of which, could you sit in the main room until I get everyone? I still need to find Alastor and Husker before I announce it." She looked like she could barely contain her excitement as she ran off before Angel Dust could answer. But he shrugged, sitting down on the plush sofa and chose to scroll through voxtigram to pass the time.
About 10 minutes later, Charlie had arrived with Husker in tow, Alastor appearing from the shadows not too long after. "Alright everyone! Today, I would like to introduce you to.." Charlie paused, to build suspense, until she pulled out a strange looking man from somewhere. You. "Our newest patron!"
You waved, albeit awkwardly at the strange group of sinners. You weren't new to hell, far from it, but there were only a few you really recognized. Husker, your bartending buddy from a few years ago that you met at a bar you worked at. And Alastor, him being the radio demon and all.. But everyone else, as far as you knew, you had no history with.
Before you could try leaving the room to escape the awkwardness, Charlie nudged you slightly. "Go on, introduce yourself!" She was so sweet it was hard to say no, if we're also not counting that Vaggie was staring at you with a small glare.
"Uh, hi?" Is how you started, but continued even after you heard Alastor chuckle. And while Angel couldn't help but feel a little.. off when you said your name, it being very familiar, but he shrugged and put on his classic porn star persona as he introduced himself to you.
"Nice to meetcha~ I'm Angel Dust, but you can call me yours," he winked at you as others groaned but you couldn't help but feel as if he was familiar as well.. it was probably nothing though. You did have a dream about how you died last night, so it's just a weird coincidence.
As everyone else introduced themselves, they began to leave, but the ones that stayed were Charlie, Vaggie, Alastor, Husk sort of as he went back to his bar, and Angel Dust following him. You stay in the main part of the lobby as you converse with Alastor and Charlie, them telling you a bit more about the hotel.
Over at the bar, Angel couldn't help but stare at you, barely even touching his drink. "Alright, why are you staring at the new guy?" As much as Husk prided himself on being able to read people, Angel was throwing him off with how quiet he was being, barely registering that Husk spoke to begin with.
"Huh? Oh, he just.. reminds me of someone." He barely looked at Husk when he answered, keeping his puzzled gaze on you. "From when you were alive?" Husk was curious, and he may or may not've noticed how you looked at Angel Dust when you were introduced to the staff and patrons.
Angel nodded, but let out a small sigh. "Meh, I'll think of who he reminds me of eventually." He chugged the last of his drink before standing up, presumably to go to his room. As he began walking, you couldn't help but watch him, wondering why his voice and demeanor was so familiar.
Alastor noticed, and him being him, decided to poke a little fun at you. "Oh my, are we falling for another patron my good fellow?" His static voice made you jump slightly, as he was just sitting quietly as Charlie rambled on before. But you were quick to shake your head, denying the radio demon's claim.
"No, no. He's just.. familiar is all. Probably just deja vu. Besides, my partner when I was alive might be in heaven, he's the only one for me." There was a small smile on your face as you thought of your sweet Anthony, completely unaware of what the future held.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few days had passed, and you and Angel Dust had become pretty good friends. While he would flirt with you on occasion, it was all in good fun.
Everyone in the hotel could see how close the two of you had gotten in the short time you've been here, it would've been impossible to notice! How you two just, clicked. No one could understand why, but you balanced each other nicely.
Angel was already falling into a routine with you, unconsciously of course, but there was always a lingering guilt in the back of his mind as he thought of his lover when he was alive. He was redeeming himself for him after all. No matter what he did over those days, he couldn't help but develop feelings for you.
You felt the same way as Angel, unknowingly. You loved Anthony with all your heart, and just knew he was up in heaven waiting for you. But Angel.. well, he was not only drop dead gorgeous, but he showed his real self with you. It was hard to not fall for Angel's charismatic nature, and it reminded you of Anthony's personality.. odd, but not uncommon. Sometimes people have the same humor, way of talking, and favorite drink as others that they never even knew. Right?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been a week now, and you and the gang are at the club! Paid by Charlie while she was up in heaven of course.
The night was great! You all were enjoying yourselves with some shots, and watching poor Sir Pentious fail to woo Cherrie Bomb several times.
During the night, you and Angel being the most sober were trying to keep Nifty under wraps as she continuously causes chaos. First she starts raking some loan shark's shots into a garbage bag, then she finds the cleaning closet and tries to steal the chemicals hiding in there, then she's left with Husk who is forced to baby sit her.
And now, Angel and Cherri were getting into a small disagreement, along with Husker.
"Y'know, we can do this fucking shit every fuckin' night!" Cherri yelled over the music in the club. It's clear that Angel was done, Husker included and Niffty was drunk.
But even with Angel's sour expression, she continued. "You don't have to spend all of your off hours 'working on yourself' you little bitch."
Husky was quick to shut that down though. He knows the issue, and he expressed that. "The hotel isn't a problem in his life, it's-" he paused, not quite finding the word as Angel looked away, but quickly saw a man that he truly hated. Before Husk could say something, the spider sinner spoke with a grave tone. "Valentino." "Exactly!" Husker finally continued, unaware of who Angel saw, and only you put the pieces together, but didn't want to interrupt what was happening. Not until you needed to though.
"So why don't you-" Husk continued, trying to give Cherri a piece of his mind before Angel stopped him again. "No, Valentino," and he pointed to a large crowd, the moth overlord in the center of it with two others in his arms.
Angel was clearly disturbed, seeing his boss at the club when he's supposed to be relaxing. "Let's get the fuck out of here- come on." He began walking and you followed suit, wanting to make sure Angel wasn't alone. Husker and Cherri can handle themselves after all. But.. "Where's Niffty?"
The question startled Husker, who was holding the bug just moments ago, but you managed to catch a glimpse of her.. going towards Valentino, muttering the word 'bad boy' along the way. "Uhh, Angel?" You quickly pointed out where she went, and Angel's eyes widened even further.
Angel immediately went after her, pushing through the crowd as best as he could, you following right after him. You've heard a story or two from Angel himself about how awful the overlord was, and you refused to let him get his hands on the spider you've gotten so close to.
He was angry, not his usual charming self, pushing and cursing at people with a quieter voice trying to get to Niffty. When he did catch her, it stopped him right Infront of Valentino himself, the man not sparing a second to greet Angel Dust.
"Holy shit, Angel Dust? What are you doing here baby?~" he cooed, surprised to see his star at the club as well. "You didn't get enough dick today?" He made a suggestive gesture, clearly teasing Angel even though he knew how hard he worked him earlier.
"Funny." Angel said in a monotone voice, nowhere near amused with the joke or with Valentino. You could tell that he just wanted to take Niffty and get back to the hotel. But Valentino wasn't about to let that happen, not yet. "Who's this chiquita?" Gesturing at Niffty, who was clearly twitching at the thought of getting closer to the 'bad boy.'
"You bringing me fresh meat?" The implication was disgusting, and you almost spoke up when Niffty lunged a bit at Valentino, trying to bite him.
He made another joke, something about a kink, but Angel was clearly tired and just wanted to sleep. "Fuck off Val." He muttered turning to leave but Val was not happy. "Excuse me?"
You expected Angel to just walk, but he doubled down. Which was kind of hot. "I said fuck off!"
"I may have to put up with your bullshit, but you ain't fucking with any of my friends." He was stern, but setting a very clear boundary. It reminded you so much of.. wait, Anthony?
"You forget who you're talking to?" Valentino was fuming now, not used to Angel fighting back. He quickly stood up, using the smoke of his cigarette to make a chain on one of Angel Dust's wrist, pulling him close. "I own you bitch."
Angel looked scared again, and you stepped closer, ready to throw hands, and Valentino noticed but didn't back down. "Yeah, you do. In the studio, and you can do anything you want to me there, just like our deal says."
You were proud of him right now, but also sad. This is your Anthony. The man you were trying to get redeemed for. He was down here in hell, where he didn't belong. "But out here, I get to do what I want. So once again, fuck off." You saw Valentino raise his hand, going to slap him, and you moved quickly, but not quick enough. "Angel!" You called out, seeing Niffty fling out of his arms and Angel bleeding slightly from the harsh hit.
You wanted to rip Valentino limb from limb, but that wouldn't make it any better for Angel. He needed you, and you needed to make sure that he was okay.
Instead of pummeling Valentino, you went to Angel, pulling him into your arms as you checked his face, just like you did when you both were alive. "Enjoy the rest of your night, bitch, because I'm going to enjoy making you pay for it tomorrow." Both you and Angel glared at the moth demon, and you finally had it.
"You may own Angel now, but I swear that I'll make you pay in the future. Watch your back you bald headed fuck."
You gently lifted Angel up to his feet, holding him close as you hear Cherri mutter 'dickhead' behind you, also worried for Angel. "Fuck it, it was worth it." He muttered, leaning into you and wiping the blood from his face away. "You did good kid," Husk said, patting him on the shoulder as you went to Cherri's table. But not before Niffty ripped some of Valentino's neck fluff, making him scream girlishly.
Cherri split off from your group, with Sir Pentious finally returning, and you all went back to the hotel. It had been a long night after all, and you were all laughing along the way.
But when you finally reached the hotel, Husk Niffty and Sir Pentious went to turn in, Angel too but you stopped him. "Hey.. can we talk for a sec?"
Angel thought he had an idea of what you wanted to talk about, so he stayed. "I'm fine, really. You know I'm gonna bounce back, no matter what Val does to me." And while that has been in the back of your mind, you shook your head. "Thanks for the comfort, but that's not it. Angel.. what's your real name?"
If you were right, it would not only fill you with joy, but you'd be so upset. Anthony didn't deserve to be in hell, he was the sweetest person you knew, and was meant to be in heaven. But you held two of his hands nonetheless, giving him both a nervous but hopeful expression.
And Angel.. he was lost, he couldn't tell why you wanted to know his real name, but he also wanted to tell you. "It's.. That's uhm, kinda private babes, why do you wanna know?" He tried laughing it off, even thought about making a weird joke but he could tell that this wasn't the time. "I.. I think we knew each other when we were alive."
You gave his hands a gently squeeze, and unconsciously threaded your fingers with his. "Please.. I just need to know if you're really him." Even though you were desperate, you would never force Angel Dust to tell you. But it didn't hurt to try.
Angel was conflicted. Not just because you were familiar, but he didn't want to be heartbroken if he got his hopes up. He wanted you to be his lover from when he was alive, but he also didn't. You were supposed to be in heaven, and he's supposed to be trying to redeem himself to be with you again. You sacrificed yourself to save him after all, those bastards in heaven would be lucky to have you.
"Anthony." Angel was taking a leap of faith, watching you carefully.
Your eyes welled up with tears, and you took one of your hands to place it onto his fuzzy cheek, stroking it gently with your thumb. Then suddenly, you pulled the taller spider into an embrace, fully letting your tears flow down your cheeks.
No words needed to be spoken. All the two of you needed was to be in each other's arms, finally reunited after so many years of believing the other was in heaven. You both sobbed, holding the other tightly as if he'd disappear. And from this moment onwards, you swore silently to protect your angel from anything. No matter the cost.
Hello! I have a juicy one shot request for you today, full of angst!
It's angel dust x male reader and goes as follows:
Reader and angel were both part of the mafia and secretly became a couple for quite some time but reader died in a shootout a couple of years before angel's death and both angel and reader assume that the other got sent to heaven. Many years pass and by pure chance they meet at a bar but after so many decades in hell they don't really recognize eachother (that and the fact that angel is a spider demon dude helps with him not being very similar to his living self), later that night reader is in bed and he realizes "HOLY SHIT WAS THAT ANTHONY" and immediately runs to the hotel to find angel who also just realized that he met reader just a few hours later. They reunite and cry tears of joy after too many years spent alone in hell
Hope this wasn't too long of a request lol, let me know if i broke any of your rules so that next time i'll be more careful, with that said have a nice day!
Cautions - Drug use, shooting, death, cursing, sad angel 😭, mention of angel oding from drugs, MALE READER - fem DNI this is for the gay guys, crying, both sad and happy, reader being a bartender down in hell, Valentino, SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 6, Angel arguing with Valentino
Type - oneshot
Genre - angst to fluff <33
Comments - Nahh, you're good man. No rules broken yet 🤧 BUT OMG I LOVE THIS it's so cute but it's gonna make me wanna cry 😭 (testing out banners, thoughts? Made by me btw in PicsArt) and omg I'm so sorry for being dead 😔 AND, I'm basing this partially on episode 6 where Charlie goes to Heaven. I low-key hate the ending, it feels rushed but I'll probably end up rewriting it later (I'm gonna start adding word counts ISTG)
Till death do us part
Your whole body felt so hot, your heart thumping so loudly in your chest it almost gave you away. You can barely breath, not wanting to give not only your position away, but Anthony's.
It all went wrong.
The information given to both of you was fake, you were set up. They were gonna kill you and him if you were caught. You only had 3 bullets left in your gun, and there were about 5 guys looking for you and Anthony. Shit...
The two of you were hiding behind large crates, trying to come up with a plan and quick. There was an exit to your right, but it would force you to pass by an open area where the guys hunting you down would see you. Trying to make a run for it wouldn't go well, they would just shoot you down. Trying to lay low would just lead to the inevitable, them catching and beating the both of you half to death. But maybe..
"Damnit!" Anthony softly muttered, breaking your line of thought. "What're we gonna do?" All you could do was look at him, with the softest look in your eyes as you told him the only plan you could think of, "We need a distraction."
He was.. confused for a moment, but he quickly caught on as he saw you prepping yourself to run out the opposite way the exit was, but he stopped you by grabbing your shoulder. "I- no! I'm not about to let you get yourself killed just to save my ass!" The trembling hand on your shoulder was an easy sign that he didn't want to leave you here by yourself.
"Anthony, we don't have another choice.." You turned around and placed a hand on his cheek as you continued, "we're sittin' ducks here, and I refuse to let you get caught by these fuckers." There was a determined look in your eyes, but also a softness deep down that showed how much you cared for the mafia boss's son.
"Oh, and I'm just supposed to let you die?" Anthony was on the verge of tears, because he knew you were right, but he didn't want you to get caught by his family's rivals just to get beaten or worse.
"I can escape, you just have to believe in me. Can you do that for me, my angel?" You could feel tears prick your eyes as well, but you forced them back with a soft smile as you leaned your forehead against Anthony's, but all he could do was worry and think the worst. But he nodded, giving you one final passionate kiss before he let you go.
"Don't die on me, got that?" Anthony looked stern, but the tears in his eyes told a different story. As you nodded, you could hear the footsteps and jeers of your rivals get closer, this was your only chance to get Anthony, your angel, out of this mess.
You jumped out, letting your last bullets fly strategically as Anthony ran under the radar, through the door, and into the outside as quickly as he could. Every shot he heard made his heart sink, but he still held out hope. You promised him after all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Angel Dust sat straight up in his bed, panting softly as he woke up from that nightmare. The day he lost his everything.
He didn't notice until fat nuggets licked his face to try and comfort him, but tears were running down his cheeks from the painful memories. He remembered that day like it was just yesterday, even after so many years had passed.
Angel sat up, wiping away any left over tears to start getting ready for the day.
After he finished his morning routine, he slowly walked down the stairs to the main lobby of the Hazbin Hotel and was greeted by Charlie's smiling face and overly excited personality.
Her voice was too loud, considering he was still hungover from the night before, but had a new outlook on life and it was thanks to Husk. "Mornin' Char, we doin' anything today?" Angel yawned, stretching both pairs of arms and arching his back slightly.
"Yep! 'Cause I've got some big news for everyone! Speaking of which, could you sit in the main room until I get everyone? I still need to find Alastor and Husker before I announce it." She looked like she could barely contain her excitement as she ran off before Angel Dust could answer. But he shrugged, sitting down on the plush sofa and chose to scroll through voxtigram to pass the time.
About 10 minutes later, Charlie had arrived with Husker in tow, Alastor appearing from the shadows not too long after. "Alright everyone! Today, I would like to introduce you to.." Charlie paused, to build suspense, until she pulled out a strange looking man from somewhere. You. "Our newest patron!"
You waved, albeit awkwardly at the strange group of sinners. You weren't new to hell, far from it, but there were only a few you really recognized. Husker, your bartending buddy from a few years ago that you met at a bar you worked at. And Alastor, him being the radio demon and all.. But everyone else, as far as you knew, you had no history with.
Before you could try leaving the room to escape the awkwardness, Charlie nudged you slightly. "Go on, introduce yourself!" She was so sweet it was hard to say no, if we're also not counting that Vaggie was staring at you with a small glare.
"Uh, hi?" Is how you started, but continued even after you heard Alastor chuckle. And while Angel couldn't help but feel a little.. off when you said your name, it being very familiar, but he shrugged and put on his classic porn star persona as he introduced himself to you.
"Nice to meetcha~ I'm Angel Dust, but you can call me yours," he winked at you as others groaned but you couldn't help but feel as if he was familiar as well.. it was probably nothing though. You did have a dream about how you died last night, so it's just a weird coincidence.
As everyone else introduced themselves, they began to leave, but the ones that stayed were Charlie, Vaggie, Alastor, Husk sort of as he went back to his bar, and Angel Dust following him. You stay in the main part of the lobby as you converse with Alastor and Charlie, them telling you a bit more about the hotel.
Over at the bar, Angel couldn't help but stare at you, barely even touching his drink. "Alright, why are you staring at the new guy?" As much as Husk prided himself on being able to read people, Angel was throwing him off with how quiet he was being, barely registering that Husk spoke to begin with.
"Huh? Oh, he just.. reminds me of someone." He barely looked at Husk when he answered, keeping his puzzled gaze on you. "From when you were alive?" Husk was curious, and he may or may not've noticed how you looked at Angel Dust when you were introduced to the staff and patrons.
Angel nodded, but let out a small sigh. "Meh, I'll think of who he reminds me of eventually." He chugged the last of his drink before standing up, presumably to go to his room. As he began walking, you couldn't help but watch him, wondering why his voice and demeanor was so familiar.
Alastor noticed, and him being him, decided to poke a little fun at you. "Oh my, are we falling for another patron my good fellow?" His static voice made you jump slightly, as he was just sitting quietly as Charlie rambled on before. But you were quick to shake your head, denying the radio demon's claim.
"No, no. He's just.. familiar is all. Probably just deja vu. Besides, my partner when I was alive might be in heaven, he's the only one for me." There was a small smile on your face as you thought of your sweet Anthony, completely unaware of what the future held.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few days had passed, and you and Angel Dust had become pretty good friends. While he would flirt with you on occasion, it was all in good fun.
Everyone in the hotel could see how close the two of you had gotten in the short time you've been here, it would've been impossible to notice! How you two just, clicked. No one could understand why, but you balanced each other nicely.
Angel was already falling into a routine with you, unconsciously of course, but there was always a lingering guilt in the back of his mind as he thought of his lover when he was alive. He was redeeming himself for him after all. No matter what he did over those days, he couldn't help but develop feelings for you.
You felt the same way as Angel, unknowingly. You loved Anthony with all your heart, and just knew he was up in heaven waiting for you. But Angel.. well, he was not only drop dead gorgeous, but he showed his real self with you. It was hard to not fall for Angel's charismatic nature, and it reminded you of Anthony's personality.. odd, but not uncommon. Sometimes people have the same humor, way of talking, and favorite drink as others that they never even knew. Right?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been a week now, and you and the gang are at the club! Paid by Charlie while she was up in heaven of course.
The night was great! You all were enjoying yourselves with some shots, and watching poor Sir Pentious fail to woo Cherrie Bomb several times.
During the night, you and Angel being the most sober were trying to keep Nifty under wraps as she continuously causes chaos. First she starts raking some loan shark's shots into a garbage bag, then she finds the cleaning closet and tries to steal the chemicals hiding in there, then she's left with Husk who is forced to baby sit her.
And now, Angel and Cherri were getting into a small disagreement, along with Husker.
"Y'know, we can do this fucking shit every fuckin' night!" Cherri yelled over the music in the club. It's clear that Angel was done, Husker included and Niffty was drunk.
But even with Angel's sour expression, she continued. "You don't have to spend all of your off hours 'working on yourself' you little bitch."
Husky was quick to shut that down though. He knows the issue, and he expressed that. "The hotel isn't a problem in his life, it's-" he paused, not quite finding the word as Angel looked away, but quickly saw a man that he truly hated. Before Husk could say something, the spider sinner spoke with a grave tone. "Valentino." "Exactly!" Husker finally continued, unaware of who Angel saw, and only you put the pieces together, but didn't want to interrupt what was happening. Not until you needed to though.
"So why don't you-" Husk continued, trying to give Cherri a piece of his mind before Angel stopped him again. "No, Valentino," and he pointed to a large crowd, the moth overlord in the center of it with two others in his arms.
Angel was clearly disturbed, seeing his boss at the club when he's supposed to be relaxing. "Let's get the fuck out of here- come on." He began walking and you followed suit, wanting to make sure Angel wasn't alone. Husker and Cherri can handle themselves after all. But.. "Where's Niffty?"
The question startled Husker, who was holding the bug just moments ago, but you managed to catch a glimpse of her.. going towards Valentino, muttering the word 'bad boy' along the way. "Uhh, Angel?" You quickly pointed out where she went, and Angel's eyes widened even further.
Angel immediately went after her, pushing through the crowd as best as he could, you following right after him. You've heard a story or two from Angel himself about how awful the overlord was, and you refused to let him get his hands on the spider you've gotten so close to.
He was angry, not his usual charming self, pushing and cursing at people with a quieter voice trying to get to Niffty. When he did catch her, it stopped him right Infront of Valentino himself, the man not sparing a second to greet Angel Dust.
"Holy shit, Angel Dust? What are you doing here baby?~" he cooed, surprised to see his star at the club as well. "You didn't get enough dick today?" He made a suggestive gesture, clearly teasing Angel even though he knew how hard he worked him earlier.
"Funny." Angel said in a monotone voice, nowhere near amused with the joke or with Valentino. You could tell that he just wanted to take Niffty and get back to the hotel. But Valentino wasn't about to let that happen, not yet. "Who's this chiquita?" Gesturing at Niffty, who was clearly twitching at the thought of getting closer to the 'bad boy.'
"You bringing me fresh meat?" The implication was disgusting, and you almost spoke up when Niffty lunged a bit at Valentino, trying to bite him.
He made another joke, something about a kink, but Angel was clearly tired and just wanted to sleep. "Fuck off Val." He muttered turning to leave but Val was not happy. "Excuse me?"
You expected Angel to just walk, but he doubled down. Which was kind of hot. "I said fuck off!"
"I may have to put up with your bullshit, but you ain't fucking with any of my friends." He was stern, but setting a very clear boundary. It reminded you so much of.. wait, Anthony?
"You forget who you're talking to?" Valentino was fuming now, not used to Angel fighting back. He quickly stood up, using the smoke of his cigarette to make a chain on one of Angel Dust's wrist, pulling him close. "I own you bitch."
Angel looked scared again, and you stepped closer, ready to throw hands, and Valentino noticed but didn't back down. "Yeah, you do. In the studio, and you can do anything you want to me there, just like our deal says."
You were proud of him right now, but also sad. This is your Anthony. The man you were trying to get redeemed for. He was down here in hell, where he didn't belong. "But out here, I get to do what I want. So once again, fuck off." You saw Valentino raise his hand, going to slap him, and you moved quickly, but not quick enough. "Angel!" You called out, seeing Niffty fling out of his arms and Angel bleeding slightly from the harsh hit.
You wanted to rip Valentino limb from limb, but that wouldn't make it any better for Angel. He needed you, and you needed to make sure that he was okay.
Instead of pummeling Valentino, you went to Angel, pulling him into your arms as you checked his face, just like you did when you both were alive. "Enjoy the rest of your night, bitch, because I'm going to enjoy making you pay for it tomorrow." Both you and Angel glared at the moth demon, and you finally had it.

You gently lifted Angel up to his feet, holding him close as you hear Cherri mutter 'dickhead' behind you, also worried for Angel. "Fuck it, it was worth it." He muttered, leaning into you and wiping the blood from his face away. "You did good kid," Husk said, patting him on the shoulder as you went to Cherri's table. But not before Niffty ripped some of Valentino's neck fluff, making him scream girlishly.
Cherri split off from your group, with Sir Pentious finally returning, and you all went back to the hotel. It had been a long night after all, and you were all laughing along the way.

Hiii!! I saw that u wrote for dungeon meshi as well! Could you write fluff with laios in a modern setting? Maybe now that’s almost summertime, could it be summer themed? Or any other that you feel like writing lol. Ty!!!🫶🏼🫶🏼
Cautions - SPOILERS, a little bit of cursing 🤏, Chilchuck almost drowning (he's fine)
Type - drabble
Genre - fluff
Comments - YESSS, BEEN 20 MINUTES AND HERE YOU ARE 😭😭 so, this is mostly world building, BUT, laios stuff too dw. You are a mind reader lmao, I was JUST thinking about a modern au sometime today! This ended up being about the main 4 on accident, but I tried to make it mostly about Laios 😭
Modern!Laios
So, the golden kingdom is sort of how the modern world would be like, everyone is in harmony, no deaths (except old age depending on species race??), everyone has phones, internet, no more dungeons
So modern, but with a touch of fantasy, kinda like Onwards! (Such a good movie go watch it rn)
And jobs are more modern now, like Laios is a sous chef in a well known underground restaurant that's owned by a dwarf named Senshi! Chilchuck is a lockpick, then Marcille is a teacher! Falin is doing some out of state studying, wanting to keep the art of magic alive, Shuro is a fencing teacher, and Nimari does construction!
But let's focus on the main 4 😋
Laios and Chilchuck met when Laios locked himself out of his shared house with Falin several times cause he left it at work, in his car (had to pick that too cause the doors locked on him) and so that developed a small friendship (not that Chilchuck would call it that) between the two
Marcille knew Falin while they were studying magic together (like in the anime but modern) and so Marcille met Laios through her
Before Falin went away to study abroad Marcille and Laios held a going away party for her and Laios invited Chilchuck, where he may Marcille and Falin (Nimari and Shuro were there too but I'll say how they met everyone in another modern post if someone wants 🫶)
Now back to the restaurant- Laios and Senshi works at (Senshi owns it btw) Laios had always been a good cook while growing up, also taking any and all cooking classes he could while in high school
And he was amazing at it!
So good that THE Senshi, owner of the famous underground restaurant that turned monsters into FOOD, groundbreaking isn't it?? Sent him an invitation to come WORK DIRECTLY UNDER HIM
Laios had always wanted to cook monsters, and after visiting the restaurant once or twice growing up?? HELL YEAH HE WANTED TO WORK FOR SENSHI
This all happened in the span of about 7 years I suppose?
Now, summer time ⛱️
Laios definitely invites everyone to go to the beach, even his sister when she comes to visit from her studies!
And while Senshi is hesitant in leaving his restaurant (he kinda.. lives there too.) to see the beach he caves and says yes, but refuses to wear swim trunks. He looks like a barbeque dad lmao, full on Hawaiian shirt and some tan shorts, and some sandals as he's making some summer themed monster food for everyone
Marcille is the one trying to get him to wear trunks, gives up, but wears a super cute 1 piece to make herself feel better
Chilchuck is kinda in the same boat as Senshi, but wears trunks and the Hawaiian shirt, but sheds it later to go play chicken with the twins and Marcille out in the ocean while they wait for the yummy food
Marcille and Falin are going against Laios and Chilchuck!
Who won?
...the girls
Chilchuck very quickly got pushed into the water, damn near drowned cause he wasn't prepared to swim after being knocked off of Laios' shoulders by Marcille (who he was talking trash to)
But after he stopped dying and held less of a grudge with Marcille after she dried him off, Senshi finally finished the food!
It was some grilled kraken skewers with some veggies, each customized specifically to everyone :D
They all spend the rest of their time at the beach telling stories, enjoying the skewers, and having general fun lol
