Summary
After Vox gets his head ripped off, he suffers short-term memory corruption, conveniently forgetting the past seventy years. Lost in this new Hell and surrounded by people he doesn't recognise, Vox ends up at the Hazbin Hotel and is relieved to find his best friend, Alastor, is also staying there.
Alastor doesn't buy it and sets out to prove that Vox is manipulating him, but after a while, he starts to realise that Vox isn't playing a game and that he might have a second chance with this happier, younger version of his picturebox. So what if he has to bottle up the crippling anxiety and trauma of Vox trying to permanently kill him via angelic cannon? He can deal with the nightmares as long as he gets to have this version of Vox.
Of course when Vox's memories return, he neglects to tell Alastor. And everything gets messy when Alastor finds out.

Summary
After the events of season 2, Alastor carries Vox’s decapitated body back to the hotel and grows rather fond of it. He takes good care of it, cleans it, dresses it in better clothes, and decides that it deserves a head, so he grabs an old CRT monitor and doesn’t quite manage to attach all the wires correctly and it’s almost like having Vincent back.
Vox’s consciousness gets sucked into his newly whole body and he's less than thrilled to realise that he cannot move an inch thanks to Alastor’s shoddy wiring job. The irony of him now being The Radio Demon’s prisoner is not lost on him, so he decides to keep quiet until he can find a way to escape. Easier said than done.
Alastor realises that Vox is actually in the room with him, which he thinks is hilarious until he doesn’t. Suddenly, they’re talking about the past and why it all went wrong and Alastor finds himself hoping for a second chance with the man he cares about more than he’d like to admit.

Summary
Inspired by the comic by @BigTerrence on TikTok: "What If Alastor Woke Up In A World Where He and Vox Were Lovers?". I won't be using the comic shot for shot, this is inspired by it but not trying to recreate it in fic form.
~
Alastor was in the middle of executing his master plan when everything changed. He had only shut his eyes for a moment -- trying to rest and recover... but when he opened his eyes, instead of being tied to his favorite spinning chair he found himself in a warm, plush bed with shark themed sheets. At first, he figured Vox had taken pity and laid him there, but as his eyes wandered around the room things were starting to make less and less sense. When had Vox had the time to take several pictures of them together? Happy pictures? And, more importantly, when had Vox put a ring on his finger?Ah, well, the photo of them at an alter on the nightstand answers that question.
~
What happens when Canon!Alastor has swapped bodies with Married!Alastor? How will their Voxs react? What will they learn about themselves, and what else could they possibly fuck up?
Title of fic inspired by: Nothing Can Change This Love by Sam Cooke.

Summary
'The first notes ring out and he recognises the song instantly: La Vie En Rose. Unmistakeable, even when the pianist is hesitant at first, feeling his way along in the dark. And then...Vox starts singing. Softly, in French. In perfect French. Alastor is only human. When Vox turns that smile toward him again, singing a love song in perfect fucking French, he has to feign coughing into his hand to hide the telling red colour on his face.'
Alastor owns the only jazz club in town, Blanché. Vox is a self-identified crazy person looking to make a career as a musician. When Alastor hires someone a little different to bring in a new crowd, he finds he may have bitten off more than he can chew.

Summary
Vox has spent years living with his regret, mourning the loss of his dearest childhood friend with noone to blame but himself. But when Alastor not only makes his way to New York, but appears to be working in entertainment as well, Vox decides he's going to rekindle their friendship no matter the cost. As it happens, the cost isn't much... but is forcing them back into each others lives really going to work out the way he hopes? And can he survive his home life long enough to try?

Alastor has long since walled himself off to things like empathy or affection, having learned early on that such trust is only ever rewarded with pain. With his radio show doing exceedingly well, a new friend that shares in his special dietary delights, and his ever-looming debt close to being repaid, he has finally managed to claw his way out of the downward spiral that consumed his life for years. A downward spiral that started with Vox. But now that Vox is trying to force a reunion, all of his work threatens to crumble down around him. Can he play nice long enough to settle his debt, before everything falls apart? And... does he care that Vox's own world appears to be fraying at the seams?- Language:

Summary
"Oh yeah," Vox wheezed, laughing so hard that digital tears leaked down his screen. Even Alastor bit back a chuckle. "Since everything's a fucking Disney ripoff anyway, why not offer me your hand in marriage to save your kingdom or some shit? You don't even have to kneel at this height!"
Lucifer suddenly remembered an old story a temp Sinner at the hotel had shared. It was called the dick-in-the-can story and it meant exactly what it meant. The Sinner knew it would be a stupid endeavor, but they had decided to do it anyway. The dare wasn't even a tempting offer. It had no positive reward. It just existed. It was on the record. It was putting a hand in the cage, knowing that the animal inside was rabid, except the hand was the dick and the cage was an old Pepsi can. It was the act of doing it because why not. Why not be that one moral of the story to the dick-in-the-can fable.
OR
Canon divergence from both S2E5 and the S2 finale. Following the rally, Lucifer does a last-ditch effort to stop the war against Heaven by...offering his hand in marriage. To Vox. Of all people. Skip forward to post-finale, where Vox is now the lowly tech guy at the Hotel and still, somehow, the devil's spouse.

Summary
"Throughout past and present, the bloody fingertips will always almost touch, like they're destined, like they're meant to be. Dancing to music that doesn't sound with steps that don't exist, they will twirl in the hall of nowhere. Let the curtain fall, my love, and let the rot take us both away."
