Summary
Cross posted over at my tumblr; finally getting around to posting this here.
demonsanddogweeds gave me the following prompt:
“Average day in the Spire before meeting Rhys.”
I imagine this takes place very soon after Cole first “arrives” at the Spire, but I was deliberately vague with the timeline since Cole himself probably isn’t too great with time. It’s also appropriately dark and angsty, given the setting, so beware if you’re sensitive to talk of imprisonment and the despair that comes with that.

Summary
The 48 are why I originally joined Ao3: 48 files I had in my documents of fanfics that I wrote and kept for fun, purely for myself, now posted in the hope other people will have fun too. I've long since finished those 48, but the idea remains.
The Hazbin Hotel series is that more than anything. I'm having so much fun with a series not yet finished and a character not yet understood. We'll see if any of them remain acceptable after the next season starts.

Summary
The kid looks at Alastor. Then at her spellbook. Then back at Alastor.
"You're not a dog," she says.
Alastor wrinkles his nose. "I should hope not."
(Or: Six-year old witch, Imogen Woods, steals her late grandmother's spellbook and tries to summon a hellhound, hoping for a puppy to become her new familiar. Instead, she accidentally summons one of the most powerful beings in Hell, Alastor, the Radio Demon.
They strike a deal where Alastor must celebrate Imogen's birthday on earth with her every year until she is eighteen. In return, he gets her soul ... terms and conditions permitting, of course. Unfortunately, deals are difficult to maintain when Alastor begins to feel like a father to the very witch who summoned him.)

Summary
The others have their own sordid pasts, to be sure, but it's different for Astarion. Being a monster is one thing. Being a monstrous, pathetic, conniving, little whore is entirely another.
There’s no cure for being owned by Cazador Szarr. There’s no fixing what Astarion is. He'd have to be crazy to believe otherwise.

Summary
Link is used to being the strong one. His job is to be there for others, and he'd do anything for his friends, especially Zelda. It's his purpose in life, and it makes him feel fulfilled. As for his own needs, he's self-sufficient and likes it that way - he can't fathom anything different.
But when the Demon King's attack beneath Hyrule Castle robs Link of his strength and vitality, he finds himself in the unbearable position of not only having to grapple with sudden and profound weakness, but also having to rely on others when it comes to his own wellbeing.
It might surprise Link to learn that his freinds are more than willing, able, and even happy to give him the support he needs as he works to get well and regain his strength during the course of his journey to find Zelda and save Hyrule a second time.
This fic is all planned out, but number of chapters is TBD!
