Summary
After his public defeat, humiliation, and collapse of everything he's every built, Vox is left unwanted by the general public and the demons he once called partners. With nowhere else to go, he finds himself at the doorstep of the Hazbin Hotel, fully prepared to mock it and leave the moment he regains his strength. He did not expect to want to stay, or for the Radio Demon to watch over him with soft but unsettling interest.
Or
A story about recovery from ruin, and the slow tangling of two very oppositional frequencies.

Summary
Vox is a silent movie star struggling to transition into ‘talkies’ after the massive success of The Jazz Singer. To remedy this, his producer hires an aspiring radio singer, Mr. Alastor Hartfelt, as a vocal instructor. Immediately smitten by Mr. Hartfelt, but completely doomed, Vox tries a new nightclub where he meets a beautiful woman, Alice Starhart, known for her beautiful singing voice, red coat and tight buttons. By some cosmic joke, Alastor and Alice tell him they are brother and sister. Vox finds himself in a love triangle with the brother and sister pair, completely torn between his feelings for them.
Only to find out…they might be closer than brother and sister.
Aka 1920’s au with a genderfluid Alastor and Vox in love with both versions. Loosely inspired by Singin’ in the Rain.

Summary
“He had planned this particular pitch for over two months, and had finally perfected it. This was probably the most important, and risky, proposal he had ever done. Trying to get the Radio Demon to be his boyfriend. He would have to present his heart on a silver platter, to a cannibal, and hope it didn’t get torn to pieces. Well, go big or go home.”
A rewrite of Vox and Alastor’s backstory where Vox makes a very different kind of offer, and where they actually try to communicate

Summary
Alastor glances over as Vox turns a corner without indicating. “If you truly detest parties, dear, then you could stay home.”
It’s a little flat, and there’s that old stab of worry in Vox’s chest that he’s said or done something wrong without realising he has. It’s not like they don’t piss each other off on the regular. There’s been the whole initial rivalry when they’d first met- the mockery, the sneering. (Until they realised that they were perhaps feeling other things than hatred. Then they’d traded blood and pain for drinks and careful steps forwards. The marriage contract had been a headache. Overlords of their caliber didn’t just give shit away. There were always strings attached. They found a loophole, like always, and Vox still remembers getting it witnessed by Carmilla and Zestial, the only promises made being “no one else gets to kill you.”
Romantic enough, sure.)

The new ballet teacher is calm, polite, and way too easy to tease. Josh can’t help himself.
