Summary
Ȟ̷͖e̵̦͋l̸̩̕l̷̝͐o̴̳̚, darling," Alastor said sweetly.
Too sweetly.
Lucifer laughed nervously. "Uh h-hey there, baby.”
Alastor's grip on him tightened. "You dare to send a child to do your dirty work?”
"Come on, Al! It was funny!”
Alastor wasn’t laughing, though his eyes gleamed in a way that suggested he wasn't truly angry. But despite this, his shadows continued to wrap themselves around Lucifer's wrists, pinning them to the floor. That definitely didn’t awaken something in Lucifer. Blushing hotly, the king waggled his brow suggestively.
“What are you planning, Bambi?” He asked.

Summary
Alastor is no fool; he knows exactly where his soul will be going once his clock stops ticking. It’s pointless to argue and, in his opinion, even more pointless to show up empty handed.
He spends progressively more time attempting to contact the other side for some kind of mutually beneficial arrangement, bodies piling up in his wake. While Alastor has never been a stranger to nightmares, the surge of them he experiences with each failed ritual attempt is becoming catastrophic to his ability to function until the only time sleep claims him is by force.
But when those restless nights are replaced with hazy visages of dark hands combing through his hair, petal-soft lips upon his forehead, and the impossible sensation of wings cradling him, he realizes that he has attracted the attention of something much larger than a mere dealmaking demon.
But, Alastor is not a foolish man.
So, when this creature of dreams offers him a deal, what can he do but accept?

Summary
It’s 1925 and Prohibition is the law of the land. In New Orleans? Laissez le bon temps rouler. Organized crime keeps the liquor flowing, the bars open, and guarantees that New Orleans remains the same town it's always been.
But when a case of mistaken identity almost gets jazz pianist Alastor killed, he finds himself becoming an object of interest to the Morningstar Syndicate—and its leader, Lucifer Magne. Lucifer is a puzzle Alastor can’t crack and, as they are drawn into each other’s orbit, Alastor begins to wonder if there is more to the man than meets the eye.
If there is, Alastor intends to find out.

Summary
Lucifer had known that getting along with Alastor wasn’t going to be easy, but he hadn’t thought it would be this hard, either. And for the record, Lucifer had been more than prepared to cut him some major, major slack. Waking up to learn that you had no eyeballs left to speak of and that you were effectively under house arrest until your only chance of ever seeing again had recovered enough to try to pull off a literal miracle in Hell would have been a hard pill for anyone to swallow, let alone for someone with the personality of a wet cat. Frankly, Lucifer isn't even sure why he cares so much. If Alastor wants to handle things himself, then so be it.
After all, it's not like he's the guy's keeper.

Summary
Did you know that the Spotted Lanternfly's favorite food is the wood of the Ailanthus tree, commonly known as “tree of heaven”?
Alastor, head of the entomology department, knows that he is a devourer, he takes and he feeds and sates whatever his body demands and then he moves on, and he has never felt much remorse about that- life is too short and people are too much work: they always want too much of him.
He doesn’t really understand what he’s done to pique the interest of the school’s new heartthrob professor: Lucifer Morningstar, but that's fine- Lucifer will tire of him once he realizes that Alastor’s only real passion in life is tiny gross things with six or more legs. If only he would stop asking him questions like he actually cares about Alastor’s answer:
"What's your family like?"
“What's with the invasive species obsession?”
TLDR: “People aren’t pets, Alastor. You don’t get to pin them up on your board and watch them squirm."
