Summary
“So. Dying huh?” The man has a showman’s smile, one Val can recognize at a glance, “That must be awful. Tell me, friend, how long do you have?”
Before Val can answer, the man speaks up again.
“That was a rhetorical question; I already know. You have fluid in your lungs, and like three other diseases in your system, which are figuratively and literally eating you from the inside out. You’ll be lucky if you even last the next few hours, let alone to the morning.”
How does he-
“But I can help,” the man leans in, his showman’s grin widening, “I can get rid of that pesky disease for you, it’ll be like you never even had it. For ten whole years as well, that’s practically a lifetime!”
oOo
OR: Dying from an unknown disease, Val makes a deal with a strange demon. What comes next is more than he could have ever anticipated.

Summary
And how funny is that?
The great Valentino, the man who took hell by storm, a part of the most influential and dangerous trio in hell, and (unofficial) partner to one of the most powerful overlords, afraid.
Because their brand, as Vox constantly tells him, is perfection.
Despite the flaws and grits underneath, they always present a shiny finish. Harmonized and unstoppable. It’s only within the private walls of their home when they allow themselves to be anything else.
This image, as Val has been told, is what gives them their power. It’s about the trust and fear they’ve built within Hell's ever changing community. It’s what allows them to be on top. There is no room for anything less than perfect.
What would happen when Val isn’t perfect anymore?
OR
Valentino has always had shitty eyesight, but what would happen when he finally went completely blind?

Summary
After attempting suicide, Thanos realises that the relationship he has with Nam-gyu will never be the same again. Things can only get better or worse from there.
“Fuck you for doing this to me,” Thanos spat, but Nam-gyu let the insults roll off his shoulders. He sat there with his arms crossed over his chest as they waited on someone to stitch Thanos up.
“Fuck you for making me have to come here with you,” Nam-gyu retorted. “If you hadn’t done this, we wouldn't be here right now.” There was a sharpness to his tone, but despite it all, he knew Nam-gyu cared. Yet, his care was what got under his skin. Why did it take a suicide attempt to get him to look at him like that?

Summary
A small part of Gi-hun's eyes stayed bright. When Sang-woo noticed, the world stopped, and he couldn’t do what he was prepared to do. Warm droplets of rain fell down his face, and he begged that Gi-hun would walk away and end this, but he couldn’t leave him alone. Couldn’t leave anything alone.
Figures.
Sang-woo let out a shaky breath and took his hand.

Summary
With his life falling apart, Thanos decides to attempt suicide. When a sudden thought of his mom pulls him back, he decides to reconsider and call her. While speaking to her, he lies and assures her he's been doing well. But there's a particular lie that gets him into trouble: he tells her he has a boyfriend. When he's asked to come over with his "boyfriend" for dinner, he sets out to find someone who will act the part. Behind a garbage disposal, he comes across someone who's willing to do it.
“You’re coming with me,” Thanos said suddenly.
The man burst into laughter. “I’m coming with you? Who the fuck do you think you are? You just ruined my goddamn evening.”
Thanos grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and lifted him from the ground. He then shoved him roughly against the wall and covered his mouth with the palm of his hand. The man squirmed hysterically under his grasp, but Thanos wasn’t letting go.
“Shut the fuck up,” Thanos spat. “You’re going to do exactly as I say, or I’ll kill you.”

Summary
Nam-gyu's eyes shoot open and he lets out an involuntary yelp. Any ache in his body dissipates as if it were never present to begin with. Thanos is in front of him, his lips pulled back into a smile and a familiar shine in his eyes. He's pumping his fist out rhythmically to the blaring music, jerking his body around to it. Nam-gyu's heart is beating harshly in his chest and he lifts shaky hands out of his pockets to feel his pulse. His stomach doesn't hurt, his knuckles aren't bruised or covered in anyone else's blood, and most notably, Thanos is alive.

Summary
Hwang In-ho stared at the square mask. None of the others noticed the look of intent in his gaze, and the almost-imperceptible shake of his head.
The soldier inserted the key into the lock and twisted it. There was a snap. He pulled away the piece of broken metal and held it up.
“The key has broken in the lock,” he said matter-of-factly. “Players 456 and 001 will have to remain shackled. I’m sorry.”
---
In which In-ho devises an excuse to stay (quite literally) by Gi-hun's side. Story continues into post Season 2.

Summary
Aziraphale looked away, and poured himself another drink. “In any case, that looked unpleasant and I’m sorry to hear that’s a regular occurrence for you.”
Crowley felt weird, like he wanted to yell and punch a wall and cry and hug Aziraphale all at once. He settled on being defensive. “Oh, save it. You probably think it’s what we demons deserve for our wickedness.”
Aziraphale’s gaze turned serious. “You don’t deserve that, Crowley,” he said, quietly but firmly.
