But My Best Enemy Is You (Formerly Of Ducks and Mishaps) by Jethro_P38

Summary
Despite Lucifer's insistence that the situation was accidental, Alastor believed it to be a deliberate act of cruelty. Regardless of the circumstances, they are now stranded in 1929 New Orleans as humans. Through a series of misadventures and unfortunate events, a mutual attraction blooms that neither will admit to as they endeavor to find a means of returning to Hell.
"Alastor's eyes, now a shocking, familiar shade of brown behind round spectacles, widened in a mixture of horror and fury. He opened his mouth to unleash a torrent of insults, but the only sound that escaped was a choked gasp. The air felt thin, the sunlight a harsh, unbearable presence on his skin. He felt a deep, profound sense of displacement, a feeling that had been alien to him for centuries.
Lucifer, in his human form, simply smiled. It wasn't the condescending smirk of the King of Hell, but a gentle, almost empathetic expression. "Welcome back to New Orleans, Alastor. Let's take a little walk down memory lane, shall we?""

Summary
It's 1927 and Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers don't know it yet, but they've just found a friend for the ages.
As years go by, and the three musketeers grow from plucky children to mischievous teens and, finally, to young men and women--will the small crush you harbour for Bucky Barnes ever blossom into something more? Or will the war that threatens to tear the three of you apart succeed before you even get the chance?
An autobiography of sorts--and a winding road. The ways in which you loved Bucky Barnes span years, decades, lifetimes. It ends in Russia, or the Arctic, or Times Square--depending on who you ask.
But it starts in Brooklyn.

Summary
Cecyl has just arrived in St. Louis and already been robbed, beaten to a bloody pulp, been forced to survive on nothing but their wit and hard work, and so much more. But never in their life had they imagined a man like Atlas May would find them and recruit them to his empire. Even less did they ever consider that underneath limestone arches in an illegal bootlegging ring they would finally find a family and the love of their life. This is the story of Cecyl Clearwater at the Lackadaisy and the mayhem they inadvertently caused. Or rather, as they would put it - the mayhem was already there; wearing a blue suit, playing violin, and grinning wide. All they really did was unlock it.

Summary
Jean Kirstein never expected to be working as a gardener at a sprawling manor house far from home.
He certainly never expected to stop the Lady of the house from flinging herself from a tree at dawn.
But after one unexpected meeting and a stolen candlestick, Jean strikes up a friendship with a woman who, like him, has lived through the unimaginable.
As they find solace in each other despite the class divide, they steadily unravel the secrets of the strange society they inhabit.
Note: This is a slight continuation of one of my other fics ‘A Walk on Seal Beach’. The same political situation is unfolding in post-rumbling Paradis, but just a few months later. Reading the previous story isn’t essential, but it does offer a little extra context.

Summary
A twenty-first century Louisianian experiences a time slip one day in their hometown after stumbling upon a haunted object that once belonged to Alastor.
Guess who's back!!
That's right. Amber. And with a new fandom and story.
I think this trope has been done before but I've only read one story like it so we'll see how this goes. Of course there will be no real updating schedule as usual so...
Anyway, Alastor is an absolute monster in this! There's obviously going to be gore, murder, knives, etc. Therefore if you don't like that stuff... why are you even here?
I miss writing so I hope everyone enjoys!
PS: Feel free to comment! It really helps my motivation when I see that people are actually enjoying my writing!!

Summary
Yeosang was sixteen.
Too pretty for his own good. Too quiet. Too polite. The kind of beauty that drew unwanted eyes, even when he was dressed in plain clothes and bowed so low his forehead kissed the floor.
He belonged to no one.
And that was dangerous.
San met him in Kyoto.
In the home of a politician who liked to "collect" pretty things. Yeosang had been brought out to serve tea—to smile, bow, and disappear into the background. Like a vase. Like a doll.
San was already wealthy then. Already feared.
And the moment Yeosang stepped into the room—elegant, silent, too composed for someone so young—San didn’t look away.
Not once.
“Who’s that?” San had asked, even though he never asked about servants.
The politician laughed. “That one? Korean. Abandoned in the city years ago. I keep him around for display.”San’s eyes didn’t move. “I’ll take him.”

Summary
In life, Alastor took a wife—not for love, but for convenience. Sweet, trusting Alice adored him despite the blood on his hands, convinced that beneath his wicked grin lay a man worth saving. But before she could prove it, death tore him from her, leaving only shattered dreams and unanswered prayers. Now, in the depths of Hell, Alice is no longer the hopeful girl who once loved a monster—Hell has burned that part of her away. She wants nothing to do with the husband who never truly wanted her. Yet when fate—or some cruel joke—pulls them both to Charlie’s Hazbin Hotel, Alastor finds himself facing something he never expected: regret. For the first time, he wonders if he had feelings for her after all. But Alice is not the same woman, and she no longer believes in redemption—especially not for him. If Alastor truly wants her back, he’ll have to do what he never did in life: prove he’s capable of love before it’s too late.

Summary
"She's the only heavenly thing he's ever believed in. The only creature in his merciless, cruel land who could kill him with the purity of her sins. And at times, in his loveliest dreams, he imagines she does."
Small heath had always been a purgatory of poverty and brutality, a land that spun around rapidly from the axis of morality, but some swear there had once been a still point of a turning world, an enigma, a girl that had watered the withered flowers and cleansed the soiled canals.
One could only recall her name by a brief whisper of an annual winter's snowfall or hushed murmurs of folks stuck in the puzzling mystery, still searching for answers..or perhaps awaiting a closure that never came.
For Thomas Shelby, her name was a silent prayer, a plea conveyed in every syllable of her name like a sonnet.
River Jude Darling, was his sacred symphony and he had kept her as such even while she still strolled around the gritty district that she had never belonged in.

Summary
Soft amber lights spilled across deep burgundy walls. Smoke curled in the air, sweet with perfume and bitter with cigars. A low jazz band crooned in the corner, the trumpet crying like a heart in confession. Women in sequins and feathers laughed as they brushed past men in crisp suits, but there was something electric—something beneath the surface. Here, every glance lingered too long. Every touch meant something more.
Felix’s throat went dry.
Han leaned close, voice low in his ear. “Welcome to the Velvet Cabaret.”
