Summary
Valentino and Vox are, yet again, not on speaking terms. Valentino usually deals with it the only way he knows how to… By being even more of an impulsive asshole towards everyone around him, fucking his favorite rebound, and continuing to be utterly oblivious to any valid criticism - until Vox will inevitably realize how stupid he was and come crawling back.
But this time hits him harder than usual - and Angel Dust becomes the unwilling witness to Valentino's mental breakdown - quickly noticing that not being in control of his emotions makes Valentino nothing but even more unpredictable. All he knows is that he’d rather be anywhere else than continuously getting caught up in this never-ending trench warfare the two Overlords refer to as a relationship.

Summary
“The same way that you are the main character of your story, you are only a secondary character in everybody else's story.”
There are many fanfics that make Vivziepop’s characters across shows form meaningful connections. Cohesive universes where everyone has an important role and contributes to the plot.
I’m doing the opposite. Sure, demons in the Hellaverse might cross paths from time to time, but why would anything come from those interactions? This is me mashing random characters together, having them interact in entirely irrelevant ways for two hundred words, and simply letting everyone go on with their lives afterward.

Summary
Angel comes home from a rough day at work surprised to find Niffty still awake - and completely out of it.
The unexpected encounter helps them both find some much-needed calmness in the insanity that is hell, and they learn a lot about each other, even if they're still far from opening up.

Award winning literature. Or it would be if it weren't monsterfucking smut on AO3.

Summary
Light streamed in through the stained glass windows, catching the dust swirling through the air. It reminded him of a cathedral, of Sunday mass spent paying attention to anything but the preaching.
Sanctuary. That’s what they called the main room in a church.
“Look, I already told ya before— I’m here for the free room. You can’t expect me to be excited ‘bout all this other bullshit.”

Review will follow. For now, just know this was a great experience - especially if you're into stream of conscience, scrambled reality, and some A-tier healing.
Do recommend. -

Summary
Angel is overworked for the holiday season and things only get more troubling when Husk gets roped into the filming of Travis' latest movie. Nostalgia and friendship make a potent recipe for romantic feelings Angel isn't ready to have.
or
Angel and Husk accidentally make a Hallmark parody complete with happy ending.

Summary
Alastor wants. Angel Dust, unfortunate creature, is seemingly made to be adored, whether he wants to be or not. By the crass, the philistine, the utterly unappreciative; by those who hadn't the faintest notion of the true value of beauty in a brutally ugly world.

Bookmarker's Notes
Alastor has developed an obsession with Angel Dust, and one day, starts acting on it. What starts out as a spontaneous decision to rent out Angel's time for a weekend soon spirals into a relationship in which both men need to learn to navigate each other's wants and needs.
This fic has:
- some insane and detailed eldritch lore
- beautiful characterizations of three-dimensional characters that balance fragility, trauma and humanity with undeniably monstrous traits
- a plan to upturn all of hell by killing both a disgustingly sleazy Valentino as well as an incredibly powerful and volatile Vox
- some of the most beautiful writing
- lots of references to mythology and classical as well as contemporary literatureI'm currently on chapter 42 (Kevin got punted!)

Bookmarker's Notes
Yes, their blurb is right, they literally just make toast here. Go read it. Nobody's so busy that they don't have 5 minutes to spend on toast-related media.
This fic has:
- cultural significance
- toast
