    Summary

    Determined to win back Charlie’s love and respect, Lucifer agrees to participate in her team-building baking contest. Baking really isn't his forte, and he's not even allowed to use any magic. However, having to team up with Alastor really takes the cake. Although the demon does look quite fetching in his apron. Oh no!

    Or:

    Alastor’s attempt to bully Lucifer out of Charlie’s life backfires spectacularly. Even so, he soon comes to enjoy pushing Lucifer’s buttons and turning up the heat. Until things get complicated and Alastor finds himself entangled in a web of politics, lies and betrayals.

    Both POVs.

    Summary

    Without anything to really anchor him since Lilith left, Lucifer struggles with the weight of centuries trapped in Hell in a body that wasn't meant to permanently hold him.

    Alastor learns there is something far older and more powerful behind the King's delicate appearance than he realized and it only serves to drive him to ask more questions

    Summary

    He hadn’t even managed to put on shoes when Charlie’s loud, desolated groan at the other end of the hotel had made him rush out of his room, and his slippers and the hems of his pyjama bottoms were slowly getting soaked through. Why the fuck had he even bothered to change? He loved Charlie (see constants no. 1-4), but even he had to admit his current discomfort was solely the result of the list of healthy bedtime rituals she’d organised for him when, allegedly, the bags under his eyes had started developing a gravitational pull.

    In which Lucifer has insomnia, the hotel is moderately alive, and Alastor is in over his head.

    Summary

    Alastor comes across an unconscious and battered Vox while out on one of his strolls. He feels compelled to bring him back to the hotel.

    Ao3's formatting continues to defeat me. Why do you remove my indents? I don't know why it hates me, but at the time of positing this I've been working on this for like 2 hours. I'm tired. I want to go to bed. The story is readable. That's all I care about. Peace.
