    Summary

    Cassettes are about thirty years after Alastor’s time, he knows. Lucifer’s lips pull into a wobbly smile, thinking of Alastor, of how he must have thought CDs were just a bit too far in terms of technological advancement. Hell, Alastor would have loved cassettes had he been a radio host during their heyday. Cutting off some poor teenage boy’s mixtape in the middle of a titular love song to shout out the name of the radio station?

    Yeah.

    Yeah, he would have loved that.

    Lucifer finishes collecting the fallen cassettes and putting them back into their box, picking up the whole thing and bringing it over to the desk. Tonight's a night of indulgences, anyway. What’s one more?

    Lucifer idly wonders just where going back to his old lover’s place of work to record himself talking through the feelings of betrayal and abandonment on the old equipment falls on his list of sub-par coping mechanisms.

    Summary

    “You are something else,” Alastor mutters, his smirk turning kind of deranged as he watches the commotion in the water when an alligator thrashes in it to get to the human meat.

    “Oh, darling,” Lucifer huffs, successfully pulling Alastor’s attention to him as he steps into his personal space. He stands on his tip toes until the barrel of the Winchester rests against the center of his forehead. “You don’t know the half of it,” he whispers with confidence, grinning a bit too wide with the slightly too sharp teeth and his eyes might have an unnatural red glow. Risky, putting it in one word.

    And yet, he watches as the man’s pupils dilate slightly.

     

    Got him.

     

    or; Lucifer gets to know Alastor when the latter is still human

    Summary

    Lucifer has two problems:

    1. The celestial energy that keeps him alive is slowly draining away and without a way to staunch the flow it won’t be long until he dies
    2. Charlie wants him to do trust exercises with that grimacing radio freak Alastor

    One of these things is much worse than the other

    Summary

    He hadn’t even managed to put on shoes when Charlie’s loud, desolated groan at the other end of the hotel had made him rush out of his room, and his slippers and the hems of his pyjama bottoms were slowly getting soaked through. Why the fuck had he even bothered to change? He loved Charlie (see constants no. 1-4), but even he had to admit his current discomfort was solely the result of the list of healthy bedtime rituals she’d organised for him when, allegedly, the bags under his eyes had started developing a gravitational pull.

    In which Lucifer has insomnia, the hotel is moderately alive, and Alastor is in over his head.

    Summary

    Alastor is not a man who makes mistakes. That’s what he prides himself on most, never dropping a liquor bottle, never leaving a trace at a crime scene. Being neat, precise, collected.

    Until Lucifer sits down at his bar.
