Summary
"Have you seen the roses?"
As this haunting refrain continues to pass across Hell, heralding strange events and odd behavior from powerful Hellborn, Charlie Morningstar is just trying to keep her hotel running as both a rehab and a halfway house for demons wishing for safety and protection, plan her wedding, and keep her sanity while dealing with her mother's return to the stage after an eight year absence and a trio of new media Overlords who might have shady plans.
But despite all the little problems piling up, there’s something even bigger afoot. Something is very, very wrong in Hell and Heaven knows what it is. After a year's absence and unnerving silence, they've approached the Morningstars with a bargain that will open up secrets left buried for millenniums and put the fate of Hell and Heaven in Charlie's hands.
No pressure.

Summary
Five years after the events of The Last Dance, Eddie Brock has his life together.
Sure, he's still grieving the loss of Venom, has no social life, and working for a tabloid that he hates, but he has his life. He has a future.
And for the past week he's been having disturbing dreams about Knull and hearing whispers about a new king in black.
With the Imperium watching him, a conspiracy theorist desperate to get him to talk about the secrets he's been keeping, and revelations stacking up one after the other, Eddie dives headfirst into something best left alone, because it has no intention of leaving him alone with or without his symbiote.
And all the while, he has to wonder: is Venom really gone for good?

Summary
Cree Deeproots saves Molly on the Glory Run Road and changes everything for the Mighty Nein, and, in return, the Mighty Nein changes everything for her.
A very, very AU and canon divergent retelling of Campaign Two with both new plots and twists on old ones.
(NOT CANON COMPLIANT WITH THE NINE EYES OF LUCIEN or anything released after November 2022.)

Summary
(written before hazbin s2; canon references are vague to nonexistent.)
After their stunning defeat, the Vees are on parole at the Hazbin Hotel, their souls owned by the royal family. As part of his begrudging reparations, Vox is working as the hotel's PR Manager, intending to stew in his resentment forever—but no one stays immune to Charlie Morningstar for long, and Vox is no exception.
Chronological, connected oneshots.

Summary
When he grabs Vox again, Vox doesn't come easy—he lashes out blindly with claws and rakes them across Val's cheek, opening a thin gash, and Val grunts as he seizes both of Vox's wrists with his two lower hands and takes hold of Vox's shoulders with his upper ones. Sparks prickle against his skin, sharp and biting, but Vox isn't trying to electrocute him—he's just vibrating like one large livewire, overloading just like the machine beside them.
"No—no, don't fucking—you can't—"
Vox struggles, jerking against Val's grip, breath coming in desperate, labored gasps. Val doesn't let go. Because that was never really the question, was it?
There is no world in which Val lets him go.
Or: Valentino handles Vox's crashout a little differently.

Summary
Vox's screen fills his field of vision, arresting his spiraling thoughts.
He's holding a needle and thread.
Alastor's smile is curdling at the edges, but he doesn't break eye contact. Vox's gaze devours him, always so wide and hungry, but there's something else lurking in his expression that has Alastor not quite as wary as he should be, perhaps, because it's not sadism or even cruelty in the way Vox is looking at him now. Vox's smile is calmer. He's quieter, no longer jumpy with excitement like he'd been earlier today, although still smug and a little too pleased with himself. Far more tolerable than before, at least.
"How about it?" Vox says, cocking an eyebrow. He holds the needle like an offering, like Alastor has a choice.
Alastor deliberately leans back, letting his head rest against the wall with the vain hope that it will make the room stop spinning. "By all means."
Or: Finally alone together, Alastor reopens some emotional wounds as Vox fixes his physical ones.

Summary
This is a mistake. This is a terrifying alien from actual outer space who eats people and, on a moral coin flip, only just decided not to annihilate the entire human race. Thanks to Eddie, of all people, apparently, and he thinks maybe Venom put a little too much faith in him.
But Eddie reaches his hand out anyway.
