Summary
It’s an open secret that Marquis Andrealphus is an arrogant, self-serving, and vain creature. That he would scheme and lie and trudge through corpses, if it meant getting what he wants. For all the airs he puts on, there isn’t a noble who is not aware of Andrealphus’ nature.
But was he born this way? Was Andrealphus a spawn of evil from the moment he cracked the shell of his egg? Was the Frost Marquis born, or perhaps made, by decades of shaving away everything that had no place in a Goetia’s life?
To be a member of the Ars Goetia is a privilege, yes, but nothing says it cannot also be a sacrifice.
*****
This is the Andrealphus backstory that nobody asked for! It has everything! Goetic dads redefining the noble art of being a bad parent! Angst! Icyago being confusing and sad in equal measure! More angst! Gratuitous headcanons about how and what the Ars Goetia do in Hell!
I say, I say! Come one, come all! What's the point of having a heart if you don't let it get crushed every once in a while?

Summary
Families are complicated.
But Hell's Royal Family should be an exception to this rule. A marriage between two people who love each other deeply, an adorable princess to one day take the throne, and a younger brother to support her throughout it all. Doesn't sound anything less than perfect.
And yet...
The fairytale marriage is anything but a fairytale. The King of Hell hides away from his kingdom. The Queen shuns her second child, unable to look beyond her hatred towards Heaven. The demon princess carries a too-big destiny on too-small shoulders, and the lone angel in Hell is stuck in a world that he doesn't belong to.
The cracks in their perfect family keep on getting larger and more obvious, until the pieces that make it up can no longer fit together.
*****
A deep dive into the tangled, emotionally-constipated depths of the Morningstar family's minds. Part AU, part S1 expansion/rewrite, part psychological family drama, and 100% me, the author, beating you, the reader, over the head with my trusty angst stick (there's some fluff in here too, I promise).

Summary
Stolas, despite his new roomates and co-workers, has never felt more alone than in the last two months.
It's getting to him. The hatred all of impkind, minus three, feels towards him. He's tried to ignore it all. The boos and jeers that follow him like shadows. The cheers that erupt whenever he so much as stumbles while out in public.
Ignoring it is not working.
His own mind is his worst enemy. The depression gnaws at him, now that he doesn't have the pills to keep it at bay. His long list of failures is a thicket of weeds, their grip tight around his neck. He can only go without air for so long before he chokes.
*****
A little glimpse into Stolas' life Post-Sinsmas. How he adjusts, how he doesn't, and how he slowly sheds the stigma associated with his name, bit by bit, one unexpected friendship at a time.

Summary
Their marriage made quite a splash, once it went public. One of the most sought-after models in the world, with a penchant for perfection. A notoriously free-spirited singer, known for his down to earth attitude and carefree nature.
Some called it a fairytale wedding, others a divorce waiting to happen. Opposing personalities, demanding work schedules, careers that required constant sacrifices.
They made it work. One year later, they're THE celebrity power-couple. The poster children for success. But glossy magazine covers tell one story; reality tells another.

Nearly a decade has passed since Stolas regained his powers and Andrealphus lost his. In the years since, Stolas and Blitzø have built a happy life together, Via is on tour with her band and Loona, now an independent private investigator, still lives in her and Blitzø’s old apartment.
One evening, Loona realizes that fate has a funny sense of humor as she finds herself in a seedy strip club in Lust. What she doesn’t expect to find is a long-lost bird. But the years have changed him…OR
Almost a decade after his fall from power, Loona stumbles upon Andrealphus working in a strip club, selling himself to survive. Without much thought, she takes him in - just like a stray in need of shelter.
NEXT UPDATE: LATEST 18.8. hopefully sooner 🙏 (I say as if I'm not the one responsible for writing it)

Stolas didn't marry Stella. Instead he chose exile with Blitzø, the demon he's loved since he was eleven years old.
This is the story of their first year of marriage.
Sequel to "My Best Friend's Stupid Fucking Arranged Marriage." You don't HAVE to read it to read this, but it's a one-shot so you totally should.
