Another joke with no fic to go into yet. Ft: my contrarian radiostatic dynamic where Vox isn't actually as into Alastor as everyone thinks, and Al keeps trying to hide behind "giving into Vox's fetishes" to cover the fact that he wants him a LOT more then he leads on

where would alastor fit into the staticbelle au, :0 ?

OKAY IT REALLY DEPENDS BC!! we still don't know exactly why alastor is at the hotel! it could be because he's there on orders from someone else, or he's there to entertain himself, or to manipulate charlie for reasons unknown, or something else entirely—and the reason will really impact whether or not he'd choose to try and get involved with charlie if she was already supported by vox. a lot of his sway over the hotel comes from the fact that it was crumbling into disrepair when he arrived and he fairy godmother'd it into a somewhat functional project, therefore winning him a ton of emotional brownie points with charlie, but he wouldn't have that opportunity at all here because i really don't think there's anything he could offer charlie that vox isn't already providing (or wouldn't be willing to START providing if it meant spiting alastor).

however. presuming instead that alastor is not at the hotel to protect or look after charlie, or help her project succeed (since these would already be satisfied by vox), it'd be fascinating if instead alastor comes back after seven years and immediately antagonizes vox into losing his shit and making charlie go "ooookay! i'm gonna have to put my therapy techniques in action because vox is clearly not over his situationship." and that's how her and alastor meet. i think she knows about the alastor thing but hadn't really seen what the problem was before he came back; everyone in hell has enemies after all, and a little healthy rivalry never hurt anyone, but seeing it in action is totally different. after the third time vox plunges the city into darkness because alastor called him an insecure freak on air she's like umm. we might need to talk about this.

she's super worried about vox because she's never seen him this upset about anything before. vox is relapsing hard into his paranoid-obsessive shit that he'd worked on really hard in the seven years alastor has been away, and now it's all rushing back and threatening to ruin everything he's built—but also, his sorta girlfriend princess independent contractor person (???) is now insisting he try to "make amends" and "practice healthy emotional regulation" and "please stop brooding over your pit of sharks with a bottle of tequila i'm really nervous about you falling in and electrocuting yourself even though i know you're waterproof, come watch a movie with me instead?" and he can't decide whether he resents it or appreciates it (both. it's both).

maybe having charlie around to redirect him and encourage healthier outlets for his anger, unlike how val and vel normally handle his radio demon bullshit, DOES actually get him to calm down a little bit. maybe even enough to reluctantly agree to supervised counseling sessions with alastor, because fucking dammit charlie has gone behind his back to talk to al about repairing their broken friendship and he was so excited, vox, you should've seen him, he practically insisted on having me arrange a meeting, i think he really regrets how things ended between you two and wants to do better, please just give it a chance?? cue the worst couple's counseling session in the universe with vox stiff as a board and shaking with repressed rage in his seat while alastor sips tea demurely across from him and asks oh-so-politely how him and charlie met, and isn't this such a charming little affair, and ooh, redemption? how interesting! charlie is eating this the fuck up, overjoyed at the thought of meeting TWO overlords interested in her plan while vox can't do anything about it but seethe and fantasize about shooting alastor in the face when charlie's back is turned.

this actually sort of turns into vox feeling protective over charlie completely without meaning to, because he knows alastor isn't being genuine, he knows he has ill intentions, and vox has invested too much time and energy and honest commitment into both charlie and her dreams to let fucking alastor destroy it all by taking advantage of her desperate need for validation. only vox gets to capitalize on her daddy issues, dammit. but there's real affection there too, reluctant and uncomfortable as he is with its existence, and it's making it extremely difficult for him to handle alastor's Everything without betraying the fact that he's become emotionally compromised and isn't just looking out for his business interests.

charlie, meanwhile, thinks she's going to get to kill two birds with one stone here: she can help vox get over / assuage a broken relationship that's clearly causing him a lot of distress, and she can rope another influential overlord into endorsing her project, which prods the door open that much further for her to enact real change in hell. but alastor isn't the same kind of monster as vox, and she might be a little in over her head this time—because she just can't stop herself from having faith in people's better natures, even when every indication is pointing the other way. it's a kind of earnest and willful naivete that's like blood in the water to people like alastor and vox. at least she knows—she hopes—vox would hesitate now. she can't really say the same for al. either way, she's going to keep trying, and it's really a race between charlie's ability to infect people with soft mushy friendship emotions by double-bluffing their manipulative plots and alastor's ability to pry people open like clamshells and inflict horrifyingly intimate betrayals on them.

(hint: charlie always wins the long-game. there's only so many times you can sarcastically banter about your feelings over scones with your archrival and your girlfriend supervising before you start actually making breakthroughs and unwillingly understanding each other. charlie has weaponized "ironically committing to the bit too hard" in her favor and it works everyyy time)

when the hoes are all sluts for each other, if you know you know

[urproblematicfav-ao3]

I want to do one of those "omggggggggg val is so abusive!!!!!!!!!! Alastor would totally save Vox after he was abused." Except its more like, "right. Al's gonna help. Right? Right? He's... He's helping...?? He is going to help isn't he???

Cw: abuse, SA elements

Ok so, concept:

Alastor yoinks Vox up after a particularly bad fight ends in his face getting shattered. Al is one of like, maybe 4 people in Hell who understands his biology and can actually help swap out his head. Thing is, the only kind of TV set that Al owns are all 60s era, so Vox is back to having a fat fucking head. (Not for long, Vox quickly orders himself a flat screen because fuck that.)

Charlie offers to let him sign into the Hotel, just as a temp thing until he feels ready to go home. He has to follow the basic rules(try and be nice, don't cause problems in the common area, snitch on Alastor IMMEDIATELY if he's being a cunt, no fighting etc etc), and if he wants to he can join in on group therapy or hang out during sleepover pillow fort night.

Vox agrees, but its mostly because he just doesn't wanna deal with the fallout with Val yet. He initially spends almost all of his time in his room, being a fucking stalker weirdo freak guy.

Alastor is REALLY pushy. Like so fucking pushy and weird. He really wants to take advantage of this rift between voxval to squeeze himself in and obtain Vox's affection for himself. So he's extra...nice? Nice isn't the right word. He's extra charming, and so fucking physically pushy. Husk is kinda jealous about it.

Charlie catches on basically immediately. Vox is depressed, and has already tried to fuck her to feel better about himself, which she rejected because thats a inappropriate power imbalance and she's genuinely trying to help him get at least a little better. She tries to convince Al that he needs to be gentle and avoid trying to push for a sexual/"romantic" dynamic with Vox, especially considering their personal shared history. Its messy. And will end in Vox getting his feeling hurt. It's not a "no". Al can eventually try to ask Vox out later, but right then it's a bad idea.

Alastor, immediately, interprets this as a "challenge". He doesn't ever like being told what to do in the first place. And Charlie point blank saying "Do not do this." Uhhhhhhhh doesn't go over well.

So, Alastor, pushy pushy Alastor, goes and fucks Vox almost immediately after.

Vox briefly feels better. He likes that Alastor explicitly shows him affection, especially sexual affection. He's very insecure about his body, and sex was often a way to make himself feel valuable, especially with Val who has his pick of the litter when it comes to fuckable bitches.

Charlie finds out. She is unbelievably pissed off. She'll be okay, because she loves him and will work through their issues together. But she's very fucking mad.

(This is actually what this wip was about)

Specifically the problem is, The Hotel is Charlie's, and everything under it is her responsibility and her property. Alastor directly disobeying her is not only horrifically cruel to Vox, but a baffling amount of disrespect to her. He knew that. He did it anyway. He doesn't like that he can't have his cake and eat it too, and can't really deal with whatever vaguely guilt shaped thing keeps crushing his chest is doing to him.

Alastor gets distant. Vox is hurt and confused. Charlie confesses after some prodding that she really doesn't want to admit that Al was only using him for sex, and to get back at her.

Vox ends up crying and gets incredibly upset about this. Like, the guy you used to be in love with saves you from you horrific domestic violence situation, brings you home, and then uses and abuses you the same way everyone else in Hell has. Charlie tries to comfort him but it just doesn't work out.

I think eventually this would end in a proper reconciliation. Alastor apologizing. Vox being horrifically triggered by it because the last time The Radio Demon said "You're right, I'm sorry" was the same night he got thrown out a window to die. Charlie giving Val the fucking shovel talk and telling him he needs to get his shit together and not treat his husband like that. Val very awkwardly trying to get better, at least a little bit. But we'd get somewhere. Even if its messy.

Also def cute pillow fort and board game trust exercises. Vox deserves to be in a softer environment and get to do stupid shit for awhile. I think Vel would stop by and visit, just for updates from the polycule and to check on him. Also she definitely immediately swaps teams to kick Vox's ass at any of the games.

Anyway. A thing I think about excessively but am bad at actually writing so like.

[urproblematicfav-arsonk]

New polyship dynamic:

Charlie is just as weird and possessive of Alastor as Vox is so when she finds out he has body pillows of Al, she immediately is like "❍ ᴥ ❍) can I have one plssss" while Alastor stands there like "woman we are married why the fuck do you need a body pillow of me"

Vox and Charlie teaming up to be absolute creeps at Alastor when

[urproblematicfav-ao3]

Vox humiliation week fic idea: where Charlastor cucks Vox for a TV ad, because thats the closest he will get to getting any dussy.

But because he's a good boy during it, Charlie offers to let him fuck Alastor as a reward only for him to immediately cum the second he puts it in.

Al fully starts crying because he's so disappointed and Charlie gently pulls Al away like she's protecting him with the most >:( face possible

And Vox just has a mental breakdown on the floor

the ship name is musicalcuckchairs btw
