Summary
"What do the stars say about me, Paimon?"
Silence. A second. Then another, and another, and another. It hovered between them, thick as tar.
"Earth's skies... do not mention you, My Lord. They offer no guidance, no shadows of the future."
Again, his tongue moved faster than his brain. "Maybe look up there," he said, gesturing with one clawed finger towards the speck that was Heaven. "They seem to have a lot to say about me."
He did not expect the venom his words brought to Paimon's voice.
"Unless you're interested specifically in brainless filth, I wouldn't bother with them, My Lord."

Summary
He rolled his eyes for extra emphasis. "Pfff! Oh please, baby duck. It takes waaaay more than a little tumble to hurt your old man! I'm stronger than I look."
"You're not just saying that?"
He pressed his forehead against Amiel's. "Promise I'm not, sweetie. I'd never lie to you."
Except that he had. And he would again, if need be. To protect his son. Keep him safe. And keep him away from himself, and the ever-growing pile labeled "Lucifer's issues" that was accumulating in the back of his mind. But there was no reason to tell Amiel that. If one of them had to have their memory of this moment soured by guilt, let it be Lucifer.
*****
This is my take on the "Charlie Has a Brother" AU idea, while also being a series rewrite/expansion, and a deep dive into the messed-up, complex psychology of Hell's Royal Family.
Buckle up buttercups, because the Morningstars are NOT okay.

Summary
If she were sixty and in Amiel's shoes, she wouldn't have believed herself, either.
But... she couldn't leave it at that. No. She had to point out all the things that made it certain that Lucifer Morningstar would never give up on this boy. All the things she herself couldn't say.
"Your Daddy... loves you very much, Amiel. You and your sister are the center of his world." Each word felt like downing molten iron. She kept going. "He's so very proud of you. There is nothing in this world that could make him leave you behind. Nothing."
The child looked away, gaze clouding with thoughtfulness. He was... remarkably pensive for his age. He gave no verbal response.
...
"Would you leave?"
Her heart stopped.
*****
Half a sequel to "The Queen's Way," half a what-if of "God Help the Morningstars," 100% pain. Neither is required reading, though if you enjoy Lilith angst, the former is bound to be up your alley.

The Queen's Way by Optimism_Personified

Summary
Lilith would go insane; she was certain of that. She already felt well on her way down that particular road. She couldn't get the word out of her brain. It repeated over and over like a whisper, quiet but haunting. It burned.
"An angel. An angel. An angel. An angel."
An angel had crawled out of her. She'd carried an angel for nine months. An angel had been inside her body.
The Queen had nothing to throw up, but her stomach did not care. She could already feel it, the bite of hot, acrid bile crawling up her throat.
She felt filthy.
*****
Part AU, part Character Study, and part me, the author, playing around with a character we know very little about before S2 comes out. For your sakes, I hope you like angst.

Summary
It’s an open secret that Marquis Andrealphus is an arrogant, self-serving, and vain creature. That he would scheme and lie and trudge through corpses, if it meant getting what he wants. For all the airs he puts on, there isn’t a noble who is not aware of Andrealphus’ nature.
But was he born this way? Was Andrealphus a spawn of evil from the moment he cracked the shell of his egg? Was the Frost Marquis born, or perhaps made, by decades of shaving away everything that had no place in a Goetia’s life?
To be a member of the Ars Goetia is a privilege, yes, but nothing says it cannot also be a sacrifice.
*****
This is the Andrealphus backstory that nobody asked for! It has everything! Goetic dads redefining the noble art of being a bad parent! Angst! Icyago being confusing and sad in equal measure! More angst! Gratuitous headcanons about how and what the Ars Goetia do in Hell!
I say, I say! Come one, come all! What's the point of having a heart if you don't let it get crushed every once in a while?

Summary
"It's simple," Leona pushes off from the fence he was leaning against, in the back of your mind you're impressed that Ramshackle's gate didn't collapse from the weight of the lion in front of you and at the same time you wish it did just to see his handsome, smug face falter for just a second.
"You stay at my place for a few days over break. Catch is, you have to do anything I tell you to do. Whatever you decide, I'm leaving tomorrow morning with or without you, so ya better figure it out, mousey."
You glare at his back as he nonchalantly walks away, and sigh. Are you really desperate enough to depend on Leona Kingscholar again?
...Yes. Yes, you are.
~*~
Ramshackle's prefect is (again) homeless for a few days.
They should be grateful for the offer to stay at the Sunset Savanna with Leona. But their feelings towards the upperclassman are... Complicated.
Leona is worse off. He just wants to see the calm, collected prefect finally break and be honest about how they feel. Nothing more than that.
Spring Break away from Night Raven College will be interesting this year.Series

Summary
Trapped in a coma, to escape the guilt and grief of losing his adoptive family-one he isn't sure he wants to wake up from- Angel finds himself falling down the Rabbit Hole and awakens in a twisted unhinged Wonderland, dramatically different from the one he remembers.
The reluctant defender of the memoryless White Rabbit he names Charlie and aided by the cantankerous and infuriatingly handsome Gryphon, Husk, his self-appointed Red Knight, to escape Wonderland-and possibly his coma-Angel must navigate dangerous terrain, deal with enemies and allies who appear and disappear at random, decipher grotesque clues, battle some pretty awful monsters, and save the mysterious "Golden Afternoon" from the tyrannical Queen of Hearts before the carnivorous Fright Train destroys the Web of Wonderland. Angel quickly learn there is far more to this place-and himself-than he ever imagined.
But something is lurking in the depths of Angel’s memory. Something sinister. Something-or someone-who will stop at nothing to make sure Angel's grief consumes him-and his beloved Wonderland
