💗Masterlist | AO3
Captain Hook (Peter Pan)
He was not excited about it. Sure, he enjoyed musicals, but not about witches and animals losing rights. He only agreed to go because: one, he wasn't entirely sure what it was at first and two, you had asked so nicely. He thought it was okay, but you find him humming the tunes here and there.
Favorite song: One Short Day - enjoyed the look at the new world, though he would be lying if he didn't enjoy Something Bad as well.
Leo (ROTMNT)
He did not need any convincing to come with you because he already bought pre-sale tickets before he even thought of asking you to join him. He will bring all the snacks into the theatre as it's the only thing that will stop him from singing along to ALL the songs. He cried during like 60% of the movie along with you.
Favorite song: Dancing through life (bc Fiyero)
Verosika Mayday (Helluva Boss)
She wasn't going to go with you unless you dressed up. And she means DRESSED up --- none of this just wearing pink or green shit. Verosika expects you to show up with her dressed up as Elphaba. She's Galina, of course. If you refuse, she will NOT see the movie with you and will go by herself or with someone else.
Favorite song: Says that it's Popular, but you found her singing I'm not that girl even since watching it.
Rapunzel & Eugene (Tangled)
Rapunzel has been preparing and singing the songs for months leading up to the movie. Eugene was happy to come along after seeing more about the movie, especially when he caught wind of Fiyero. They both have been singing the songs around the palace. You even caught both of them trying to master some of the dance moves.
Favorite song: Rapunzel has been trying to hit the high notes in No one mourns the wicked for weeks. Meanwhile, Eugene is rather partial to A Sentimental Man, surprisingly.
Justin Russo (Wizards of Waverly Place)
Of course, he's gonna tell you any inconsistencies with the magic in the movie. Though, he's made a promise not to do so at the theater, but rather during dinner afterwards. He wasn't against dressing up, especially since you've done so for his movies, but preferred to just stick to wearing the colors pink or green. Which was fine with you because you got to be the Elphaba to his Galinda. He is PISSED about it ending in a cliff hanger and having to wait a year until Part 2.
Favorite song: The wizard and I (Justin deeply understands Elphaba's desire to be seen as powerful and important. Not that he has admitted that to you. He also just finds the belts to be crazy).
Gwen (Total Drama)
She is not as excited to go, as she's not a huge fan of musicals, but is onboard to go with you since you want to see this. She isn't huge on dressing up for the movie, but agreed to wear black with some green to oppose your pink attire. Even though it was long as fuck, Gwen didn't hate it. And you will NOT let her live that down, blasting the soundtrack.
Favorite song: She thought that the final part in Defying Gravity was metal as fuck and wishes so badly that she could hit those notes tbh.
Stanley Pines (Gravity Falls)
He didn't see the big deal in two witches singing for 3 hours, but agreed to go along with you if you got the tickets and if you allowed him to sneak in food. While you two almost got caught by staff, Stan had to admit that he did enjoy the movie, crying at a part here and there. Plus it didn't hurt that it earned him some cool grunkle points with Mabel for knowing the songs.
Favorite song: What is this feeling? - Stan has so many people that he loathes, but none that he would sing this with (Though, he did get an offer from Gideon).
Includes: DJ (Total Drama), Demetri (Cobra Kai), Raph (2012 TMNT), Eddy (Ed, Edd, n Eddy), Daphne, Fred, Velma, & Shaggy (Scooby Doo) & Sir Pentious (Hazbin Hotel)
Note: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

DJ (Total Drama) - Watching Scary movies
"Okay, tonight is your pick." You said, settling in next to DJ on the couch, wrapping the blanket around you, setting your head on DJ's shoulder. Friday night movies have been a long standing tradition, along with switching who picks the movies. It's a good system. Well, mostly.
"I choose this one." DJ said, pointing to your beloved copy of The Shining.
"Are you sure that you can handle it, DJ? I can still switch the movie to something else."
"Na-nah, I can han-handle this."
"DJ...." You eyed DJ, shifting your head off of his shoulder. "I mean it. We do not have to watch this. I know that you hate this shit."
"But you love it." DJ said, "And I want to make you happy."
"DJ......" You paused, "That's so sweet, but you hate scary movies. And I know that you love me, but I also love you. So, please don't put that movie on, hun. I know that you really don't want to."
"Oh, thank you!" DJ said, smiling brightly, as you switched the tv from The Shining to Hocus Pocus. "Thank you. I wasn't sure how I was going to follow through on that honestly."
"I know." You laughed, "But I appreciate the effort, DJ." You went back to originally spot, snuggled up against DJ. "I do, but I think this is better."
"You do..? Are you sure..?"
"Mmhhh." You nodded. "I'm sure. Now you better keep it quiet during the 'I put a Spell on you' scene." You glance his way, "Or, this is the last movie night we do." You added, causing DJ to chuckle a bit.
Demetri (Cobra Kai) - Decorating
"Up a little higher, to the left."
"Like this..?"
"Lower, lower, lower ...... Stop, that's it. Right there." Demetri said, as you pinned the sign to the wall.
"Next time, you're going up. You're taller." You huffed, standing next to him.
"This was your idea."
"Oh please, like you're not having a good time staring at my ass while I was up there." You added, cutting off any protest or excuse he could have had, "Now help me with these ghost outside."
"How much more is there left....?"
"Another box and a half, D." You said, handing him a plastic ghost.
"What's so special about Halloween, anyway?" Demetri huffed, following you outside, plastic ghost in hand.
"Don't you dare say that in front of me Demetri." You warned, pushing the plastic ghost into the ground. "Halloween is the best time of year. So, I can't help it if I go all out."
"All out?! You have more Halloween decorations than Spirit Halloween."
"Now, I know that you're just being mean. I don't have that much." You said, "But, I do appreciate the help. It takes me forever to put this stuff up every year. So, thank you for that D."
"With the amount the stuff, you owe me." Demetri huffed, sticking the second ghost alongside yours.
"I think that we can work something out." You grinned, "Who knows? Maybe I'll change your mind on Halloween...?"
"I'd like to see you try."
Daphne, Fred, Velma, & Shaggy (Scooby Doo) - Haunted House
"I thought that today was our day off."
"I don't think that we really ever get a day off, Shaggy." Fred said, following you closer towards the looming haunted house.
"Besides, this will be different." You said. "I just know it."
"Yeah, we're paying to go in!"
"Shaggy, we'll be fine." Velma said, "These people are paid minimum wage, so they'll probably put in minimum effort."
"I don't know about that...." Fred grumbled, watching two people run out screaming.
"C'mon guys, it'll be fun!" You said, "I never tag along on your adventures, so this is the one time that I can join."
"Of course this will be great. Right guys?" Daphne said, staring between the other three: Fred, Velma, and Shaggy. "Right guys?" She emphasized, wrapping an arm around your shoulders.
"Right." They said in unison, as you grinned brightly.
"Oh! Thank you! I promise that you won't regret it." You said, pulling the others into a hug. "I heard that this is the best of the best in town."
"Which mean it'll be third best from what we've seen," Velma snickered to Fred, causing Daphne to elbow her. "Ow, hey!"
"What Velma means is...." Daphne said, "I'm sure that it's great."
"Yeah! Lead the way!" Fred boasted.
"You won't be the only one scared, Shag." You said, "I'll be too. Stick you me." You grabbed his hand, giving him a smile, as you all entered closer and closer to the entrance of the Haunted House.
"You don't have to tell me twice."
Eddy (Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy) - Costume Contest
"What are you supposed to be?"
"I'm a mobster, duh."
"Huh, that would not have been my first guess." You said, causing the shortest Ed to groan.
"Then you have no taste," He paused, taking in your costume, "Clearly...."
"Ok, Clyde, take one guess at my costume, then." You challenge. "If dislike it so much, you must know what it is."
"Of course I know what it is! Give a guy a second, jeez!" Eddy rolled his eyes, taking a minute to look over your costume. "Uh.... a witch....?"
"Wow... you're bad at this." You snorted, "Guess I can consider the prize all mine, then."
"Please.... If I can't tell what you are, how are you gonna win!? It's gonna be me who takes home that prize money, sweetheart."
"Sure, Why don't you take that smug attitude and sh-Double D, wait!" You said, reaching out and grabbing his arm. "Just the person I wanted to see."
"Greetings (Y/N). Fantastic and accurate Aphrodite costume."
"Aw, well thank you Double D." You said, keeping your eyes on Eddy's fuming form.
"What?! Who is Aphro-Abhro whatever!?"
"Aphrodite, Eddy. Aphrodite is the greek goddess of love, beauty, and pleasure. We learned about her in History class."
"Thank you Double D." You said, letting your grip go on him, watching as he slinked forward into the crowd of other party goers in costumes.
"So, brainiac knows who you are? Big deal!" Eddy said, "There ain't no way that you're gonna beat me in this contest."
"Wanna bet?" You said, "Winner gets the Loser's Halloween Candy, the prize money, and gets to pick the loser's costume next year."
"Oh, you got a deal."
Beetlejuice (Beetlejuice) - Handing out Candy
"Remember the order, Beej. It's important."
"Of course, of course." Beetlejuice waved you off, grinning. "It's not my first Halloween, babes." He grabbed the candy bowl off the table. "Now, I got some suckers to see."
"Beej...."
"I said, to give suckers too! Calm down!" Beetlejuice yelled, quickly opening the door before you had time to respond. "Trick or treat?"
"Um..... don't we say that." You peaked over Beej's shoulder, finding a group of small children. A little girl in a fairy princess costume stepped up.
"Okay!" You said, stepping forward, grabbing some candy out of the bowl that Beetlejuice was holding, and dropping it in the little girl's bag. "Here you go. Happy Halloween!" You said, watching the little girl run down towards her mom on the street.
"What gives, babes? Don't trust me....?" He pleaded, big ol' dark eyes staring up at you.
"Beej... I think that we should play to your strengths.... Maybe I take all the kids under 12 and you handle the older kids with tame scares."
"Tame....? Ah, babes, there's nothing tame 'bout me."
"Beetlej-"
"Ah, not the B word, babes. Can't end the party before it started." Beetlejuice said, "I'll play by your dumb rules. But, if a 16 year comes up here, I will not be held back on my scares."
"Fine. You have a deal."
"You will not regret this babes."
"I hope not," You said, "But for now, stop eating the candy, B. That's for the trick or treaters!" You snatched a mini Twix out of his hand.
Raph (TMNT 2012) - Pumpkin Carving
"What is that supposed to be?"
"A face!" You grinned, turning your pumpkin so Raph could see. "Or well, it was supposed to be a face."
"Why are we doing this again?" Raph asked, "Because it seems like a waste of pumpkins."
"It's fun!"
"I'm covered in pumpkin guts. I wouldn't call that fun." Raph snarked, his slight frown growing into a smile at hearing your laugh.
"C'mon, try it. We'll put candles in them and put them out."
"Why?"
"Because it looks cool, Raph. And it'll look cool while we watch our movie later."
"Fine." Raph grinned, watching you continue on with carving out a face on the pumpkin. "Though, still sounds like a fire waiting to happen."
"Well, good thing that you guys already have a fire extinguisher from Donnie's many explosions, hhhmmm?"
"Yeah, yeah. Hand me the knife." Raph grumbled, taking the knife from your hand, and continuing onward to puncture the pumpkin. "Does it have to be a face..?"
"No, it can be anything really." You said, "First time...?"
"Well, between constantly training and saving the city, didn't think to add stabbing pumpkins to the list."
"Carving. We're carving pumpkins. Not stabbing them." You pushed your completed pumpkin towards him, showcasing the bat design carved in the front of the pumpkin.
"Same difference."
Sir Pentious (Hazbin Hotel) - Fall baking
"These are looking great, Pen." You said, placing another sheet of cookies on top of the stove to cool before icing them. "Secret recipe..?"
"Not really," Sir Pentious bashfully smiled, continuing to mix another bowl of cookie dough batter. "Jussst sssomething I learned down here."
"There's cooking classes in Hell...?" You laughed. "Sign me up!"
"Well, I- ah- I could teach you." Sir Pentious said, "I mean, I wouldn't sssay that I'm the bessst or anything. But I would enjoy the company and all. Only if you'd wa-"
"I'd love that Pen!" You said, cutting him off from any further rambling. "You're the best!"
"Of courssse. Anything...Ah!" Sir Pentious yelped, pulling back his hand from the hot pan he had just touched.
"Pen, do you need help? Are you okay?"
"I am fine," He said, wincing as felt you grab his burnt hand.
"You're gonna need some aloe. I'm gonna grab the first aid kit, Pen." You said, running back towards the entrance of the kitchen, and grabbing the first aid kit from the cabinet.
"I can handle that, my dear. The resst of the cookiess ne-"
"And that can wait, Pen. Let me help you." You smiled, walking back over to him. "Here." You grabbed his hand, gently dabbing some aloe of his burn. "This will help."
"Thank you, my dear." You couldn't help but smile at the bright red flush on his face.
"Of course," You grinned, "Now be careful or you won't be teaching me anything."

Earth angel, Earth angel, will you be mine?
My darling dear, love you all the time.
“You killed it tonight, V.”
“Of course I did.”
Verosika expected nothing less from her performances. Afterall, she didn’t get where she was by just coasting on talent alone. She worked hard and paid her dues to become one of the most popular singers in all of Hell as a succubus. As tradition after the last show on tour, Verosika and company ventured down to the closest bar for some shots.
“This one okay?” Vortex glanced over at Verosika, gesturing beside him.
“It’s fine.” Verosika stated. Sure, it was run down and had drunken men spilling in and out. She could barely read the sign, The booze was also probably not as good as Hell. Earth bars always seemed to be stingy on getting and giving the good stuff.
But other than that, all bars are the same and walking inside only confirmed this. Humans all over, staggering and stumbling throughout. Sticky floors, cheap cologne, and peanut shells everywhere.
“I’ll grab some drinks for us all.” Vortex said, heading towards the bar, as Verosika and Company occupied two booths. Everyone else fell into chatting while Vortex came back with drinks, placing them on the table. Automatically, Verosika grabbed her drink and fell into old patterns. After doing the same after concert bar routine, it felt all natural.
“Ohh, V, fresh meat 9 o’clock.” Coco smirked, jerking her head towards a group of young men, watching with x-rated eyes at Verosika and her group. More specifically Apple, Milky, and Josh
“Oh, well, this is just too easy. Milky, Apple, Josh, go work your magic on these fuckers.” Verosika grinned, watching them leave their table. Free drinks for a quickie or some cheap flirting was standard. Humans were so easy to please.
The best part? Verosika barely had to lift a finger. She could just enjoy her night, and recoup from performing with getting buzzed. Her days of sucking dick and kissing ass were over.
Well, mostly.
She had some few instances, especially when trying to get into other higher spaces in Hell. As a Succubus trying to be a performer, she had to….solidify some deals using her other talents. As she became bigger and bigger, others started to treat her better and take her more seriously. Big wigs like Asmodeus and Beelzebub not only respected her, but they actually liked having her around.
“Can’t believe we have to play in the Pride ring tomorrow.” Coco muttered, “It feels like this tour is never over.”
“Oh please, this is nothing.” Verosika rolled her eyes, taking more of her drink. “At least it’s the Pride ring. The sinners are easy to please.”
“You always say that, but then go all out anyway.”
“They paid good money for a ticket, might as well give them a show. I fucking hated ho-” Verosika cut her sentence short, her attention glued towards Josh, Apple, and Milky with the group of Humans, who seemed to have gotten more of their buddies around her three succubi. She watched her crew get slightly jostled around, anger bubbling inside her.
Call it mother instinct or whatever the fuck, but Verosika knew that they were dealing with assholes.
“Hey! Shithea-” Verosika sprung up, glaring at the group of men that had gathered around her succubi. She was cut off before she could fully finish what she wanted to say.
“Ah, you jealous, baby?” A man with a crooked grin, stated, stepping forward towards Verosika and Vortex. The leader, so it seems. “I think that a bitch like you needs to be put in her place.”
“What?!” Verosika stormed over to the group, Vortex quickly following after her. “Say that again, dickhead.” She snarled. “Who the fuck do you think yo-”
A sudden blur stopped Verosika in her tracks, halting her sentence on her tongue. She watched as this leader was knocked flat on the ground, groaning, and clutching his nose.
“Ow! That fucking hurts.”
Verosika turned to find the source of the voice, finding you standing in front of her. You were holding your one fist in your hand, clutching it close to your body. From what Verosika could tell, a bruise was already starting to form across your knuckles. Though, you were too busy, looking over at Josh, Milky, and Apple to even notice the way your knuckles changed color.
“Why you little bitch?!” The leader yelled, “You broke my nose!” He sprung to his feet and the rest of his crew backed him up as he walked towards you.
“Step the fuck back,” Vortex growled.
“Oh please, you think that all of us can’t take you.” The group of men laughed.
Vortex glanced around the empty bar and then at Verosika, to which Verosika nodded, grinning devilishly.
“Okay, then let’s make it a fair fight,” Vortex stated, transforming back to his hellhound form.
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you.
“You should ice that hand,” Verosika stated, handing over some ice wrapped in cloth to you. “It’ll stop the swelling and dull the pain.”
“Thanks.”
The bar has died down, with just Verosika, Vortex, Coco, Apple, and you. The other half of her crew left, going back to Hell early after the commotion, not that she blamed them.
“You’re a fucking dumbass. Why would you do that? They easily could have killed you or something right there.”
“Your friends were in trouble.” You stated, wincing as you place the ice pack over your swollen, purple knuckles. “I’m not gonna sit back and watch it happen.”
“I had it handled. Tex had it handled.”
“Is this your way of saying, ‘thank you for helping me back there.’?”
“Why?”
“Like I said, your friends and you needed help. And I hate watching assholes like that get away with their shitty behavior because no one steps up to them. They think everyone’s indebted to them.”
Verosika has been on Earth enough to know that it wasn’t often Humans did something for one another. There were enough Sinners ending up in Hell everyday that proved that theory.
“Oh how very brave of you.” Verosika smirked. But, Verosika always respected someone who was willing to stand up and stick it to the douchebags. “My shining knight.”
“Yeah, well, that was before I knew that that guy,” You said, gesturing over to Tex, who was talking to Coco and Apple in a separate booth. “was a wolf-dog-thing.”
“Hellhound.” Verosika corrected, “Tex is a hellhound.”
“Oh,” You said, “Which brings me to my other questions— How do you guys know a Hellhound, exactly?” You paused, “I mean, you do owe me. I practically saved your life.”
“I don’t know about ‘saving it’,” Verosika said, transforming back to her usual succubus appearance, “but you got it.
You didn’t think that it was possible for this girl to get hotter, but she just proved you wrong. Hot pink skin, black shiny lips, white hair, little heart shaped marking on her cheek, pink tail that ended with a heart-shaped point. But, her pink eyes and bright smile stayed the same.
“I am a succubus.” Verosika stated, “Tex, here, is my bodyguard.” Verosika smiled, leaning in closer to you, “Actually, you napped a pretty popular succubus. Famous pop star in Hell and Earth. You really scored big.” Verosika said, watching you taking in her appearance. “Verosika Mayday. And who is my shining knight?” She whispered, grinning at the color that fanned across your face.
“(Y/N).”
“Hmmm, I think that I’ll stick with my Shining Knight.” Verosika said, “So, any other questions….” She trailed off, watching as you shook your head. “Good because I still wanted to get in a dance and drink before I go.” She stood up and held out her hand. “Well…?”
“Well….”
“Are you joining me or not, bitch?”
“Join you….?”
“A dance, dumbass.” Verosika scoffed, grabbing your hand, and dragging you away from the table. “We have the place to ourselves, so might as well enjoy it!” She called out to you, flashing a dazzling smile. Bright white sharp teeth shining under the low bar lighting.
Sure, your hand was throbbing and the drinks were starting to give you a pounding headache, but who were you to deny Verosika a dance? Especially when she smiled at you like that, making you feel lighter than ever.
“You’re right,” You called back to her, smiling.
“Of course, I am. It’s about time you caught on.” Verosika grinned, hearing you laugh, and pulling you closer to her. “Don’t worry, you’ll have more time to redeem yourself.”
“Oh? Are you going to be spending more time with me, Verosika Mayday?” You joked.
“Depends on how good of a dancer you are.” Verosika said, “Or if you feel like sharing your golden heart,” Verosika grinned, twirling a finger around the chain on your neck. “So far, I’m regretting the whole night based on what you’re doing.”
“Oh you like having me around, I know you do.”
“Whatever.”
Earth angel, Earth angel, the one I adore
Love you for ever, and ever more.
“So happy to have you here, Verosika!”
“I’m glad to be here.” Verosika stated, a tight lipped smile on her face. “The Pride Ring is so exciting. I-”
“Exciting?” Verosika’s attention was drawn towards Vox, the host. Verosika never cared much for him. Him and his associates, Velvette and Valentino did nothing but look down on her due to her status as a Succubus. Being a famous one didn’t matter. “You’re from the Lust Ring! I can’t think of anything more exciting than that!” He laughed, causing his crew to rush in hitting the laugh track button. Verosika laughed lightly, following along.
“I guess, I just love performing in the Pride Ring and meeting the different Sinners.” Verosika said.
“Speaking of…..” Vox trailed off, “The word on the street is that you’ve been over on Earth quite often.”
“Well, I’m a Succubus, which kind of comes with the territory of working with Asmodeus.” She chuckled lightly.
“Ah, no, no, no. This seems more frequent. Maybe personal….?”
He was baiting her. She wasn’t biting.
“Unless you count sucking dick personal…?” She laughed, deflecting the question, grinning at the slow frustration that overtook Vox’s features.
“So, you aren’t visiting a human….?” Vox stated, “We got word from an inside source, stating that you went to Earth once a week to visit a human. They made it pretty clear that it was the same human.”
“Your source is wrong. I wouldn’t waste my time with a human—let alone be tied down to one.” Verosika said.
“Hmmm, my mistake then,” Vox growled lowly, zapping the smile back on his face, while turning towards the camera. “Well, you all can see Verosika Mayday Saturday night! Get tickets while you can!”
In her peripheral vision, she sees several crew members rushing around and in a moment, she knows that her denial to spill and give Vox what he wanted was the cause.
“And cut!”
“Always a pleasure, Vox, But I gotta get going. I have to go t-”
“To Earth.”
“How d-”
“Like I said on air, inside source.” He grumbled, grabbing a stack of papers from a looming assistant.
“Right…”
“I will break this story, Mayday. A succubus desperately visiting a human on Earth? That’s a good show. That’s good ratings.” Vox threatened, “Lying on my show tonight was not smart. Making me look like some hack was not smARt.” He glitched. A telltale sign that he was getting frustrated, causing Verosika to smirk, hiding her nerves.
“Show me proof.”
Silence.
“Hmmm,” Verosika stood up from her seat, beginning her descent off stage, “Well, until then, see you at the show, sweetie.” She hummed, sugary sweetness dripping off her words, as she continued out of the studio.
Even while walking out, Verosika knew that she was regretting that. Sure, the Vees don’t respect her and never will, but she had to respect their power. One that she currently was fucking with.
“Playing with fire, V?”
Verosika continued down the hallway, Vortex following her, with a slightly amused Velvette on her tail.
“I know what I’m doing.”
Lie.
“I doubt that,” Velvette grinned, watching as her words washed over Verosika, making her halt to a stop. “Because Vox will find proof, darling. And based on how much you pissed him off tonight, he will not hesitate to release whatever he finds.” Velvette laughed, moving to stand in front of a still Verosika. “That’s too bad, too. I loved having you come around, really. Because, you’re royally fucked, darling.”
Verosika didn’t move, as Velvette left her side, laughter bouncing down the hallway.
“This was the right move, right?” Verosika asked as she continued down the hallway, Vortex following her, wincing as Velvette’s cackle bounced off the walls. Verosika reaches into her pocket, pulling out a small golden heart, and holds it tightly in her fist.
“Second thoughts?”
“About them?” Verosika glanced at Tex, “Never.”
“I mean, about your move back there.”
“Yeah, that’s gonna come back and bite me.” Verosika muttered, getting into the car, waiting outside for her, “But, it’s nothing I can’t handle.”
Another lie.
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you.
“Are you really telling me no?!”
“I think I am.”
It was always so much fun whenever Verosika visited you. At first the visits were small and quick and friendly, and then they turned into long and frequent and more than friendly. The pink succubus was all you really looked forward to.
And she knew it.
“And why?” Verosika said, “Are you not having a fun time with me?”
“Wha- Of course, I am!” You said, “I just…. I mean…..” You sighed, “V, I can’t just join you in Hell. I have people here. I have work and friends and my life here.”
“But, I can’t stay up here with you.” Verosika stated, “Not in a normal way.”
“Is this what this is about? V?”
“I- Pl- Ugh! Why can’t you just come with me?!”
“I can’t just go off with you in Hell, V. I have a life.”
“Ptff, that’s what we want to call it.”
“Fuck you,” You spat, “I have a family here! And friends! And a job that I don’t absolutely hate.”
“Everything is here, except for the demon who fucking loves you!”
Silence.
It feels like time slows down, as you watch Verosika’s anger drain and sadness creep in.
“I love you and I can’t be with you all the time. It’s killing me.” Verosika sighed, “Please….”
“V… You know that I love you. I always have, but I can’t uproot my whole life to go to Hell. And I think that you know that.” You said, reaching out and grabbing her hand, taking it in yours. “Will you please tell me what this is really about?”
“There are rumors. About us.”
Verosika always told you about how famous she was down in Hell and that she’d keep the relationship quiet, which you were always fine with. Afterall, it’s not like you have been completely honest with your friends and family about Verosika. Verosika and you had come to an agreement months ago that everything would be kept as under wraps as possible, which often meant that Verosika made no mention of a relationship in Hell at all.
Though, that’s the funny thing about relationships and love, it changes our behavior anyway.
“Okay. How do you want to handle them?” You said, watching Verosika’s nervous form. “I’m behind you with whatever you want to do.”
“They’re getting suspicious of my trips to Earth and are speculating that it might be due to a human.” Verosika sighed, “One of the major bigshots in Hell apparently is working on getting evidence of this and wants to publish the big story. They’re trying to pull a gotcha moment live on me. I don’t know how much longer I have until the story is live. I just need more time. Mor-” Her soft, vibrant pink eyes burn into yours. Your stomach sinks at the sight.
“V, I’m with you. Let me know what you need.”
Famous last words.
I fell for you, and I knew
The vision of your love's loveliness.
“And now joining the stage, Verosika Mayday!” The host shouted, as thunderous cheers and roars erupted from the crowd. Shallowing up your dead silence.
Your eyes remained trained on Verosika as she walked out onto the stage and music started playing. Watching her smile and sing. Your stomach sank and the knife in your chest went deeper.
It has been months and nothing has been easier since you split from her. You would be lying if you haven’t been obsessively stalking Verosika’s earth social media. Playing her songs on repeat. Watching interviews. Other normal breakup things.
But this….. This was different.
“...be here.” Verosika smiled brightly at the crowd. The knife twisted with every second her smile flashed the crowd. “Alright! For this next one, I have a cover.”
Murmurs around you within the crowd whispered what it would be.
“As many of you probably know, I recently went through a break-up. A hard one.” Verosika said, “But, this song…..” Verosika paused, and for a moment it seemed that she stared into your soul, her smile falling slightly, “This song was our song.” Her eyes locked in on yours and it was then that you knew that she saw you in the crowd.
Music swelled around the venue, as Verosika began to sing. Tears welled in your eyes as flashbacks flooded your mind. This was her dream and witnessing it again was beautiful. She was beautiful.
Things would always ache when thinking of Verosika.
She caught your eye again, as the song came to a close. You could’ve sworn that you saw a tear in her eye as well.
“...You’ve been a great crowd!” Verosika yells, exiting the stage with a puff of smoke for a costume change.
Gone.
Seeing her disappear hurt more than when she was present. It hit a little too close to home.
You understood that the break-up needed to happen – afterall, living in Hell was out of the question and Verosika couldn’t keep sneaking back and forth with all the suspicions raised. So a break-up. For now. Maybe for good. Who knows?
Your phone buzzed. Pulling it out of your pocket, a heavy feeling rises into your stomach as you read the text.
Note: With my own Graduation happening soon, I wanted to write something related for others who may also be graduating.
Includes: Santana Lopez (Glee), Eddy (Ed, Edd, n' Eddy), Belle (Disney), Angel Dust (Hazbin Hotel), Alejandro (Total Drama), Stolas (Helluva Boss), Donatello (TMNT), Ponyboy Curtis (The Outsiders).
SANTANA LOPEZ will not stop bragging to anyone within a 15 foot radius about your hard work and how smart you are. She will scream and holler when you walk the stage. She does give a shit if she's 'disrupting' the ceremony. She's proud of her partner damnit and she's gonna let that be known!
EDDY has waited for this day for a long time. Having someone with some education besides Sockhead will definitely come in handy for him. Mostly due to how often he pisses Double D off. Oh, and yeah, yeah he's proud of you and all that mushy stuff. He does give you kudos for finishing through with as good grades as you did.
BELLE is excited for any new opportunities that come your way as a result of your new education. She has made sure to voice her openness to go wherever you are going. She loves listening to you talk about what you have learned and is always asking you questions.
ANGEL DUST is taking you out for a night of partying, which is long overdue. He knows how hard you've been working and is ready to fucking celebrate. Now that you have more free time, he wants no excuses for why you can't come. He's so pumped and you definitely appreciate the fun night out with Angel.
ALEJANDRO is more than willing to listen to your rants about your classes or gush about specific topics that you are writing about for papers and projects. He will take any and all pictures throughout the ceremony. He even videotapes when you walk across the stage. He acts like such a proud Mom throughout the whole ceremony.
STOLAS plans a whole weekend of pampering for you after your graduation ceremony. He is beyond proud, but is more worried that you have worked too hard. So, he decided to ensure that you got the rest and attention you deserved. After all, you deserve the best!
DONATELLO is excited to see how you will apply this newfound knowledge that you acquired. Of course, he's proud and excited for you. Although, he's not there in person due to.....reasons. He's hooked up cameras and is watching the whole thing live. He's texting you live reactions as they happen.
PONYBOY CURTIS is in awe of you. Sure, he's smart and all that, but he can't help but be impressed and awestruck by your determination. He brings the whole gang to cheer you on at your graduation ceremony. He knows that they're all gonna embarrass you and be loud, but you deserve this attention for all your hard work.
Yeah, you make me feel like I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long
“Are you sure that you’re ready for this?”
“This is what I have been working towards, Luci.” You smiled, “I haven't been more sure of anything in my life. I want this. I’ve earned it.”
“I guess that I just thought that you weren't actually going to leave,” Lucifer said, stepping towards you, and grabbing your hand. “Leave me.”
Oh. So, this conversation is actually happening. You wince, unsure if you could bear having this heavy conversation right now. Charlie told you over and over again this week that the portal to Heaven will open at 9am on the dot tomorrow morning. You didn’t want to be late, especially with how long it took for Charlie to get the portal to even come get you. Luckily for both of you, Emily and Sir Pentious have been trying to push things along faster for you.
But now, Lucifer wanted to have the ‘stay here with me’ conversation. Right now, Lucifer was looking at you with these big eyes and small, sad pout. Right now, you were seriously considering not going to heaven and staying. Right now, you were thinking crazy. Right now, you were irrational. Right now, you needed to be stronger than ever, even if it meant your heart was breaking from the inside out.
“Lucifer, I've tried to have this conversation a bunch of times with you!” You step back, pulling your hand from his grasp. “You never wanted to have it, so I figured that we didn’t need to.” You crossed your arms.
“Because I never thought that this day would come.”
Okay. That hurt.
“Wow, you must think real high of me, then.” You scoffed, “Some stupid sinner who keeps trying and trying at redemption, but never making it. Just a fucking joke.”
“Hold on, I didn’t mean it like that. I ne-” You couldn’t bring yourself to look at Lucifer at that moment. If you did, you knew that you’d break.
“You’re almost as bad as Alastor.” You whisper, not fully meaning it, but looking for ways to wound him the way he had done to you.
“Don’t you dare compare me to that-that man.”
“Then, don’t throw your abandonment trauma onto me!” You sighed, hoping that blowing out the air from your lungs would also dispel the anger. No such luck. “You knew that I was working towards this since the day that I met you. You met me in Charlie’s hotel for fucks sake!” You slowly meet his gaze, ignoring the way that your heart twisted at the look in his eyes. “I am leaving for Heaven tomorrow, Luci. I love you, but this is bigger than you and I.” You said. “I need to do this for Charlie. Heaven needs more sinner representation up there to prove her hotel works.”
“I know. I know that. Believe I do,” Lucifer said, taking steps up to you and embracing you in a hug, “But why you? Why must they take you?”
“Luci-”
“No, no, no, no.” Lucifer mumbled into your hair. “Don’t say another word. I’m sorry. I know how hard you worked for this. I never meant to shit on your progress. And I definitely didn’t want to spend our last night like this.”
Last night.
Last night.
Oh, tomorrow was going to be brutal.
“I could never ask you to do such a thing.” Lucifer said, “I was just being emotional. I’m-I’m being selfish.”
“I know. Me too,” You muttered, bringing yourself closer to Lucifer.
“Remember: Apart, but never forgotten,” Lucifer whispered, gently kissing your forehead.
Your heart cracked even further in your chest, and you hoped that Lucifer couldn’t hear the sound.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
“Are you alright, dear?”
“I wish you would stop asking.”
“I’m-” Sir Pentious paused, hand outstretched and frozen, about to touch you, but almost like he was too afraid to make contact. “I’m sorry.”
“Stop apologizing.”
“I’m-I’m worried about you.” Sir Pentious said, “I want you to know that I sshall alwayss be here for you.”
You didn’t mean to be a pain. You didn’t want to be miserable. You were in Heaven—the very thing you have worked towards with Charlie for over a year!
“Would it be helpful to inform you that Emily has been getting letters twice a day from Lucifer?”
You head snapped up, facing Sir Pentious, who wore a smile at your new demeanor.
“He-he’s writing me?” You said, as Sir Pentious nodded.
“Emily’s been sstoring them for when you’re ready.”
You are ready. You are so ready.
“Would it be okay to read one?” You say before you can fully think through the consequences of doing so.
“Of coursse.” Sir Pentious grinned nervously, “I brought one, jusst in casse. I had a feeling.” He said, handing over a white envelope, your name scribbled across the front in red, cursive ink.
You waste no time ripping it open, scanning the letter for its contents.
Hey Hi Hello Dear (Y/N), I miss you. Charlie misses you too! I should have mentioned that first Anyway, how’s Heaven? Is it still bright? I haven’t been there since the dawn of time haha. Probably hasn’t changed a bit. Hell sure has. Without you, everything is duller. Hell is just hell now. You always made it feel like heaven. I wish that I could be with you there. I wish things were different. I wish that I could spend every lasting moment with you, angel. You have my heart and my soul, so please take good care of them while in Heaven. Apart but never forgotten, your beloved, Lucifer
You re-read the letter multiple times, trying to rationalize ways that this was truly happening. That you were reading a letter from him. Your heart sank, knowing that this was probably the closest you would get to him for forever. This is how you would spend your time in heaven, missing him. You know that he wouldn’t want that for you, but that didn’t stop you.
“I wish you could be with me here.” You whisper, folding the letter up and placing it inside the envelope once more. You turn to Sir Pentious, “Thank you for everything. You have been a really great friend through all of this.”
“Sshall we go and get the other letters?” Sir Pentious smiled, as you nodded.
The ache in your chest deepened, and you were sure that your heart was in complete pieces.
Hazbin/Helluva: Asking to go to the Eras tour/Barbie movie
Note: Can't ever forget girl summer of 2023💖
💗Masterlist | AO3
Charlie & Vaggie have been waiting and waiting to see the Barbie movie since it was announced. Charlie has had your outfits planned months in advance and Vaggie helped decorate part of the hotel for the premiere night, turning the hotel into a Barbie dream house. It has been months and the three of you are still finding glitter on the main entrance carpet.
Alastor is absolutely against any music that does not involve jazz. He refuses to even play into the idea of going with you, which you expected. Though he does find it sickeningly nice of you ask, sweetheart.
Husk immediately tells you no, while looking up showing times for the Barbie movie. He buys the tickets after hearing enough of you talking and talking about it. He grumbled the whole way in, but you caught him laughing and invested in the movie, despite what he says.
Angel Dust bought the Eras tour tickets before you could even suggest going. He is so fucking hyped. He expects you to dress up in your favorite era and you better know all the goddamn words, bitch. He will cry if you make friendship bracelets with him and share them.
Sir Pentious is confused mainly. He's tried to go to Angel and have him explain this Taylor Swift and the Eras, but cannot seem to understand it all. He wanted to impress you with his knowledge after you asked him to go with you. It's cute, even if he isn't getting it.
Lucifer had fucking tickets before they were announced. He surprised you with them, a bright smirk on his face. He knew how much you wanted these and he is more than happy to do whatever he needs to do to ensure that you have a great time.
Vox wants so badly to be Reputation, but he is so 1989. He is all for this concert for the publicity and VIP treatment. Also, just to splurge some money on you. Okay, a lot of money. But, he puts his foot down at being forced to dress up as 1989 or Speak Now. He wants to be Reputation and just let him have it, damn it.
Velvette has been planning her fucking outfits since the tour was announced. She's not that into Taylor whatever, but she wasn't stupid and knew how much of an Internet sensation this was gonna be. She had to go, and if she was, might as well bring you along.
Adam laughs in your face. He can't believe that you would honestly fucking suggest going to see Taylor Swift with him. He makes fun of you for thinking that that was a smart move, but begrudgingly goes with you anyway. But, you fucking owe him, big time.
Lute would rather see Oppenheimer than Barbie. She tries everything to convince you to drop the Barbie movie from the Barbenheimer movie marathon you suggested, but no dice. Once you offered to see Oppenheimer more than once and a few other movies that she wanted to see, does Lute actually join you for the Barbie movie.
Blitzo is fucking pumped for this concert. Anything for an excuse for him to dress slutty and get drunk is fine with him. Besides, hearing drunk Blitzo try and sing long to the words, but get them all wrong is so funny and precious. He was not happy at how much you recorded it for blackmail, but also proud because same.
Moxxie & Millie were more than excited to go with you, planning your outfits all together so that none of you wore the same era. Although, you definitely couldn't dress up as Lover or Reputation because those were M&Ms and you couldn't pry it from their cold, dead hands.
Stolas is over the moon that you want to see Barbie with him. He's been hearing about it, but wasn't too interested in it all that much. Well, until you asked him to go with you. He immediately began to get his outfit together in the spirit of the Disco dance sequence of the movie. It was fucking amazing.
Ozzie & Fizzeroli were more excited than you for the concert. Ozzie had everything taken care of for both Fizz and you. Worried about what you're gonna wear? Don't worry, Ozzie's assistant has been gathering your outfits for weeks, with Ozzie s final approval before revealing it to you both. All you and Fizz had to worry about was having fun.
Verosika Mayday has been waiting for this movie for months. She denied it, but you noticed how she sent you all the Barbie memes and behind the scenes stuff. If you don't go all out and dress up, she doesn't know who you are and will sit on the other side of the theater.
Striker had no clue what the fuck you were babbling about. So, he looked into it, and was not fucking thrilled about it. But when he bought tickets to Taylor Swift, the grin on your face was well worth the 3+ hours of pure 'torture' he was going to endure.
Summary: Despite cheesy, the ending kiss is always the best part.
💗Masterlist | AO3
Kiss me, beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
“You look ridiculous.”
“Shut up.”
“But, you also look good, too.”
“Obviously,” Heather rolled her eyes. “Not that I had many options with Chris’ tacky tastes. Like, really? The mean girl in hot pink? Cliche much.” She rolled her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest.
“You probably had a lot of more options than me to be honest.” You laughed, “Though, you and LeShawna did a great job.”
“We try.” Heather said, “We’re trying to win the challenge, afterall.”
“I know. This is probably the most fun I’ve had with a challenge.”
“Bite your tongue before Chris hears and changes the last challenge at the last minute.” She hissed, glaring at you.
“Would you two move it already?!” Duncan said. “I’d like to actually start the challenge.”
“Chill, Hot Topic. We’re coming.” Heather spat, slipping her arm around yours, and tugging you with hers towards the makeshift dance floor Chef pulled together.
“Finally!” Chris huffed, “We’ve been waiting forever.”
“Drama Queen,” You muttered under your breath, causing Heather to snicker.
“Now that everyone is here, we can begin.” Chris said, “For the last part of the challenge, the losers on the aftermath show are voting for prom royalty in tribute to the classic high school dance at the end of the teen romcoms.” You glanced around the room, catching a glimpse of the two fake plastic crowns Chef was holding. “Two crowns, two winners,” He said, gesturing to the crown you were staring at. “Now, for the pairs. Chef and I decided to have some…..fun with it.” He laughed. “The pairs are going to be with one member from each team, just to keep things fun for me.”
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
“Lighten your grip, hulk.”
“I’m barely touching you!”
“Tell that to the dent in my shoulder!”
While obviously handsome and charming in his own way, Justin was the last person who you wanted to partner with in this challenge. Though, one glance at Courtney and Heather’s heated glare between each other, and suddenly you were glad that you were stuck with Justin. Even so, you would have preferred to have been partnered with Lindsay or Beth.
Or Heather, really. Sure, the bald girl was can be a major bitch. But she was honest, fun, and loyal. You have watched her threaten everyone and once she warmed up to you, you knew that she would burn and destroy others for you. Not that she’s ever told you that with words, anyway. But you could feel her affection, as prickly as it might be. A rose with many thorns.
Though, you didn’t mind the thorns.
“Alright, let’s get the music goin’”, Chris grinned, as Chef turned on the music, causing many of them to wince at the volume. “Now remember, your fellow ex-contestants are voting for the winners. Two more minutes until the winners are announced, so make them count!”
Ugh. This sucks.
“Damage my ankles and I swear t-”
“Oh, oops~” Heather smirked, giving Justin a small smile, as she collided into his side, pulling an annoyed Courtney along with her. “My bad.”
You laughed as Justin huffed, annoyed. You caught Heather’s eye and grinned, winking at her.
“Heather, I swear to go-”
“What?” Heather scoffed, “It was just an accident.”
“Sure, sure,” Courtney muttered, “An accident to save your little girlfriend.”
“Shut up.” Heather grumbled, “It’s not like that.”
But we could be, you think, knowing good and well that Heather would gut you if you even indicated that to Courtney in this moment.
“But, you want it to be.” Justin chimed in, sharing a knowing look and slimy grin with Courtney. “Y’know, red really is your color.”
“One more minute!” Chris yelled.
“Shut it before I fucking claw your eyes out,” You glared, eyes blazing and locking in on Justin, quickly shifting them towards Courtney, “And you, you little bitc-”
“The results are in!” Chris yelled, catching everyone’s attention.
“And the winners are…..” Chris snatched the card from Chef, quickly opening it with a flourish.
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
“I was fucking robbed!”
“Seems kind of on brand for the ‘teen romcom’ though,” You said, watching Duncan join Beth on stage as the winners of the challenge. “The lovable nerdy girl winning. The popular mean girl losing.” You sighed, “So on and so on and so on…”
“Whatever,” Heather scoffed, “The endings are the worst part anyway. The underdog winning. The girl gets the guy. The ending kiss. Such bullshit.”
“I don’t know. It’s cheesy, but cute.” You said, reaching over and grabbing Heather’s hand in your own. “The ending kiss was always my favorite.” You glanced over at Heather, grinning. “And by the looks of it, you do too.”
“Shut up!” Heather rolled her eyes, trying everything in her power to not look over at you, despite the heat building and building in her face. A dead fucking giveaway. A stupid weakness.
“Y’know, we never got a chance to dance. Would yo–What?!” You laughed, catching a glimpse of Heather’s still red-faced, knowing expression. “I told you that I like the cheesy endings.” You smiled, placing your hands on Heather’s hips.”
“Uh-huh,” Heather’s arms slipped around your shoulders, “And what was that you liked about endings?”
Oh. Oh.
So, it’s happening?
“You’d be interested in that?” You questioned, keeping your full attention on Heather, as your face grew warm. “I thought that you hated endings, Heather.”
“I do, but I’d be interested. Very interested.”
“Alright, then I think that I can arrange something for y-” You smiled. Though Heather cut you off, kissing you, pulling herself and you closer together. Time seemed to slow down. Angels singing. All of the stupid, but true cliches.
“Impatient,” You breathed out, grinning at Heather once your two pulled apart for air. You leaned your forehead against hers, not daring to look at anything but her.
“You were taking too long.” She hummed, “And you promised me a movie-ending kiss.”
“I did, didn’t I?” You smiled, “Well then, I think that we should try it again, if you’re up for it.”
“Fuck yes,” Heather whispered, “Kiss me.” She demanded.
You rolled your eyes at her tone, but quickly and excitedly took her invitation, kissing her again.
“I could get used to this,” You whispered, pulling away to catch some air.
“So could I,” Heather muttered, “As long as you don’t make me watch any of those god-awful teen romcoms.”
“Really?! But they’re like us….” You said, “Popular girl. Underdog. Amazing kiss at the end.”
