    Summary

    Barely a week and a half after Alastor’s contract is re-written, Charlie falls ill. Naturally, of course, she chooses the one day her father is out of the Pride Ring on business to grow sickly, and makes it Alastor’s problem.

    Tending to Charlie while she is ill should not be a complicated endeavor, even so. And yet, it gives Alastor an uncomfortable amount of time to contemplate the nature of their relationship after The Beginning. As bonded survivors of the Nothing. As soul owner and owned soul. As family and friends. And, most frightening of all, as a parent and child.

    His afterlife used to be so simple. How has it grown so complicated?

    Summary

    Two weeks after the battle of the hotel, Charlie and the others are still reeling from their losses and changes. Alastor hasn’t returned, Pentious is gone, and there’s a whole new hotel to set up as they prepare for new Sinners in the program. And to make matters even stranger, an unexpected person shows up at the hotel doors asking for sanctuary: Lilith, Queen of Hell, missing for seven years.

    Charlie is more than happy to give her mom a place to stay and hide after hearing the story of her kidnapping. But Lilith has other objectives in mind, and Charlie finds herself shoved into an empty pocket world made of literal nothingness for her own protection.

    Well, nearly empty. At least she knows where Alastor is, now.

    Summary

    Charlie has always loved deeply, even when she shouldn't.

    It's a trait from her father, who loved to the point of falling. He loved her mother, even if she were a woman who did nothing but hurt him. He loved his brothers and sisters, even as they cast him out for rebellion. He's never wavered in that love, even as he was hurt time and time again.

    That is something Charlie and Lucifer have in common: They both love deeply, desperate to help no matter the cost. They, to her mother's disdain, are alike more than most would like to acknowledge. Charlie though, is not ashamed of their likeness. Their kindness, their love is a strength, even if most would claim the opposite.

    It's what's fueled her belief that sins could change, could improve. It's what's motivated her father to support her. They are mirror images, and it shows in the future unfolding.

    Summary

    It was mostly quiet between the two of them for a long moment. The only sound was Lucifer soft sniffles and the soft jazz music that Alastor was playing from his staff.

    “There's more, isn't there?” Alastor asked. Lucifer feels Alastor's hand fall to the small of his back and rub his thumb into his back.

    Lucifer pulls back from Alastor hold. He uses the sleeves on the pink sweater to whip his eyes.

    “I'm supposed to be stronger than this.” Lucifer lets out a bitter laugh, as he lets his hands fall to his lap. “I'm the king of hell, for fuck’s sake.”

    “You are allowed to feel hurt, Lucifer.” Alastor says. The weight of his hand falls onto Lucifer's shoulder, making his eyes turn to look at it. “Even Kings bleed.”

    ~~~

    Or Alastor crashes out on Charlie for not apologizing to Lucifer and leaving him in such a mental state for days after the battle with Vox.

    Summary

    Lucifer should have known Heaven would never let him keep the home he had managed to carve out of Hell.

    He should have known they would never let him keep his daughter.

    After Charlie's birth, Heaven makes the decision that a half-angel shouldn't have to bear growing up in Hell. Instead, she is to be sent to Earth and fostered by a human. Adam is placed in charge of deciding who that human should be, and as retaliation against Lucifer and Lilith, choses the worst possible candidate.

    Who could make for a worse father than a serial killer, after all?
