Summary

“Good afternoon, Pentagram City!”

That familiar voice, echoing out on the air after seven fucking years. Did anyone else miss it? Vox is fairly certain that’s a no. But he has. He’s missed it so badly that the return of the sound gushes into the hole in his chest like a flash-flood.

Alastor taps a finger on the base of the mic. “I do apologise for my absence, but even the best of us need to take a little sabbatical from time to time. And i can assure you that I shall not be going away again any time soon.”

Relationship: Alastor/Vox

Characters: Alastor , Vox, Alastor’s Shadow

Other Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Established Relationship, Alastor's 7 Year Absence, idiots with issues, Alastor is Bad at Feelings, POV Alastor, Confessions light mentions of gore? like description wise, Asexual Alastor

Summary:

Alastor doesn’t need anyone.

He never did, even in life, and the idea of changing that has always tasted like arsenic and old leather, stuck like a bit between his teeth.

He knows what he is. He’s cruel, he delights in it. He’s a killer, and he can dance to a mean tune. He’s a clever hand at the piano, has a good voice, and a radio show he holds precious to himself.

The thing is… he’s not sure Vox did change things when he came along. He just… inserted himself into Alastor’s general orbit, and… never left.

So I started Cardboard Bones before S2 began airing. I’ve already said i’m not changing my plans to fit in with canon, and that goes for Overlord forms too, so here’s Vox in the AU when he goes all big bad and mad ehehehe

Relationships: Alastor/Vox, Valentino & Velvette & Vox, (background Val/Vox but not romantic at all)

Characters: Vox, Alastor, Rosie, Velvette, Valentino, Charlie Magne | Morningstar

Other Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Established Relationship, Asexual Alastor, Blood and Injury, everyone is bad at feelings, Extermination | Purge, Singing, Married Couple, Alliances, soul contracts, Arguing, Canon-Typical Violence, Swearing

Summary:

Alastor glances over as Vox turns a corner without indicating. “If you truly detest parties, dear, then you could stay home.”

It’s a little flat, and there’s that old stab of worry in Vox’s chest that he’s said or done something wrong without realising he has. It’s not like they don’t piss each other off on the regular. There’s been the whole initial rivalry when they’d first met- the mockery, the sneering. (Until they realised that they were perhaps feeling other things than hatred. Then they’d traded blood and pain for drinks and careful steps forwards. The marriage contract had been a headache. Overlords of their caliber didn’t just give shit away. There were always strings attached. They found a loophole, like always, and Vox still remembers getting it witnessed by Carmilla and Zestial, the only promises made being “no one else gets to kill you.”

Romantic enough, sure.)
