Summary
Val grumbles. “Vox’s just being a little bitch about the parade. Don’t worry, it’ll kick in soon.”
“It” could be a lot of things. Some benzos. A horse tranquilizer. Oxy, like his mom used to take. Angel is half convinced that Vox’s breakfast is a cereal mix of uppers and downers, powder in those bright colored-capsules that you give to old people. Things that look a lot prettier than they taste. Not that he has much room to talk. He gets the same shit, just in different packaging.

Or: Drug-induced lobotomies are good for managing people who can’t manage themselves. They’re also great for PR.
Or, or: Vox looked really silly in the pride standees. Here's a fic about it.

Summary
“You are a girl!”
Angel is too high for this. He pats Niffty on the head, awkwardly. He thinks it’s her head, anyway. Everything’s a bit wobbly, and it’s not just the stilettos he’s wearing. “Yeah, sure, whatever you want, baby—lemme jus’ get—”
He doesn’t get to finish that sentence, but he does spew a modest circle of hot pink vomit on the hotel carpet. Chic! Somewhere, he can hear Charlie’s voice prattling about the importance of harm reduction. Small mercies, then, that he hadn’t puked on someone’s back-alley monster cock instead. He should get a star sticker for that alone.

Or: Angel and drag, over the years.

Summary
“Take a swan dive off of the roof,” he had said.
“Pray you’ll be born with a Quirk in your next life,” he had said.
Midoriya Izuku’s smiling face sits inside a case of mahogany; he is surrounded by flowers and estranged figures in black.
Bakugou Katsuki’s hands curl into fists. “Damn it, Deku,” he whispers, staring at his childhood friend’s unchanging portrait. “Why the fuck did you have to actually do it?”
In a hospital not very far away, a young boy named Akatani Mikumo is born.

it's not murder, it's research and waste disposal by mangotangerine

Summary
Vox relocates from New Orleans and finds himself a new home, new hunting grounds, and most importantly: Alastor, the biggest crush of his life. Unfortunately, the man fucking hates him. His attempts to turn Alastor’s simmering hatred to begrudging affection fail entirely, until a nighttime middle-of-the-swamp meet-weird (and some erotic knifeplay) over a corpse.
Follow two serial killers figuring out what kind of life they can build together. They meet each other's families, navigate the question of how Vox has evaded consequences for so long, and settle into something real. Underneath the domesticity, Alastor carries a 20-year-old score to settle, and when he finally gets the info he's been waiting for, he drags Vox into it with him.
A story of revenge, family drama, a soul-binding, uncovering each other’s closely-held pasts, through the slow and painful work of two people learning to be known, and eventually toward the question neither of them thought they'd answer: what does a future look like for people who never planned to have one?
OR: Two serial killers fall in love and fuck and it’s actually really deep, somehow. (You can easily skip the weird shit, it’s tagged and indicated in-chapter)

Summary
Lucifer didn't have a silver tongue before The Fall. If he had, things might have gone differently at the trial. That was one of the final parting gifts bestowed upon him by his siblings before they cast him out. There's a sort of twisted irony to it all. The snake, who gave up everything so human souls could choose their own destiny, always one over enunciated word from stripping it from them all over again.
All that to say, as a general rule, Lucifer doesn't influence Sinners. Not because he can't—far from it—but it goes against the spirit of the whole "Gift of Free Will" thing.
Of course, Alastor is the one to challenge that.

Summary
When Husk quit drinking, he promised himself a quiet life: no liquor, no noise, no drama. His tattoo studio keeps him steady, his art keeps him grounded, and the Hazbin Café next door knows his order by heart. He has his interns, his friends, the small community he’s built around ink and morning coffee — it’s enough. It’s peaceful.
Then Anthony walks in, all pink coats and nervous smiles, asking for magnolias to cover what love left behind. What starts as a commission becomes something slower, softer: easy conversations, quick-fire banter, and the dangerous return of warmth.
Some things can’t be rushed — not tattoos, not recovery, not love.
The color comes later.Bookmarked by matchinghalves
