    Summary

    He stays with her until the sun dips low and disappears. He helps her climb in bed, relaxes her clenched fists and snuffs out the candle.

     

    It isn’t love, not yet. But it will be.

    Summary

    There's an odd girl at the back of the throng.

    To the casual eye, she looks completely average. She wears the same soft cream and dull yellow uniform of the other girls around her. She is small and slight, and her cheeks are dotted with freckles. Among the other palace girls surrounding her, she blends in perfectly. She could be any girl from any far-flung village of Li.

    But her eyes—they are what catch his attention. They are what draw him in.

    Or: Snapshots of Jinshi and Maomao, throughout the years--of their scars, their mistakes, and a little red string that endures through it all. An exploration of love, fate, and the choices we make, told in twenty-six parts.

    Summary

    UPDATE 1/24/25: Fortunately not directly impacted by the LA fires, but dealing with the fallout

    “So—say we go ahead with this cockamamie notion of yours. How do you suppose we measure our success in determining a victor?”

    “Now that’s easy. C’mon, Al, you’re smart, use that handsome head’a yours,” he grinned slyly. “You’ve made it in showbiz back Up there and way Down here. What’s the key to stayin’ relevant? Stayin’ on top? What’s the one thing that’ll make or break ya?”

    “Ratings,” Alastor said without hesitation—upon which his entire face lit up, cracking a grin to match Angel’s. “Ratings.”

    **•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙**

    An unlikely wager between Alastor and Angel Dust triggers a butterfly effect that threatens to wreck havoc on the tenuous power balance in Hell. As they say, the demon’s in the details — especially when this particular demon finds himself stumbling in-between the lines of his contract. What happens when Angel challenges Alastor to shake up the status quo in Hell for a second time in a century, and makes history as Hell's first (willing) radio guest star?

    Alternatively and fondly summarized as: I think I accidentally created Loveline: Hell Edition. Or: Angel Dust Goes On The Radio
