    Summary

    “Maomao?” He presses, fingers closing over hers and lowering their joined hands to her lap, and she blinks in surprise at the use of her name. “What is it? What’s wrong?”

    “Their technique is sloppy,” she answers honestly. “I feel strain on my heart. They should have targeted the nervous system instead.”

    Master Jinshi stares at her like she’s spoken a foreign language he can’t even begin to try and understand. She tries to explain.

    “Certain snake venoms cause coagulation of the blood, which could have been effective and made the blood unable to move through my veins, but if the end result is simply making my heart stop beating by targeting the muscles involv-”

    “Maomao,” Master Jinshi says, very calmly, “I need you to stop speaking now.”

    (an assassin tries to kill jinshi with a poisoned blade that gets maomao instead) (she is obviously much less concerned about this than everyone else)

    Summary

    When Alastor met his Soulmate, Emily had filled a void he had forgotten he had. Then they had to be separated forever, it would never be safe for her to visit Hell for his sake. That void had widened larger than it ever had before, and the Overlord had to fail to learn how to live without his newly discovered heart. Years of wondering without direction or purpose led him to witness a silly interview with an even sillier Princess of Hell. Promising a chance at redeeming yourself in the Heavens. Promising a way to work through the sin that earned your eternal damnation. Promising a direction for Alastor to be with Emily...

    Can the Radio Demon make his way up there, or is he merely grasping at straws?

    Summary

    When Emily turned one hundred, a mark appeared on her chest, positioned directly over her angelic heart. She recognized it instantly, having heard of Soulmarks before. She was so excited to meet them, and had so many things to show them!

    When Sera realized her sister's mark led into Hell, she knew only pain would await Emily. Relations between a Sinner and an angel could only end one way. She could not stop her from seeking them out, but perhaps she could minimize the damage?

    When Alastor met his Soulmate, bursting into his place of work like a missile, he could only think of three things. What imbecile from high above tried settling an Overlord like him with her! What are these feelings of contentment he now has? What is going on with this native creature that he cannot get rid of...

    Summary

    Alastor's disdain for Emily's stubborn insistence that he is a great candidate for redemption is all too clear to Niffty. When the optimistic seraphim finds a critical weakness in his resistance, however, Niffty watches as the strongest sinner in all of Hell grapples with what he's worked for and what he never thought he could hope for. As Alastor allows Emily to see truths buried deep beneath a smile, Niffty worries that the efforts will leave her closest friend broken and damaged beyond all help.

    And, really, how much hope can the most brutal of sinners have in paradise?

    Summary

    The steady tick-tick-tick of the clock on the wall is the only indication that time is passing at all. A glance in its direction tells her it is nearly midnight—it has been less than a day since she watched him fall, since she watched that filthy demon scum Lucifer’s brat called a housekeeper drive her blade into his back. She should be sleeping—come the morning, she’ll need to stand before the remaining exorcists as their sole leader, to stand strong in the face of the tragedy that’s befallen them all.

    But lying here, in this bed where she spent so many nights with him, wearing a ratty old T-shirt bearing the logo of one of Earth’s rock bands that is much too big for her and still smells like him, nothing is real to her but the shape of his halo under her fingertips.

    —or, Lute goes back for Adam's body.
