Lies on the Radio for all the Souls to Hear by SapphireNightshade

Summary
He never planned it, but Vox fell for Alastor’s charms, and fell hard. And he made the mistake of confessing to the man he loves, only to be brutally rejected. After having his heart broken, he gives into Val’s advances in hopes of a distraction looking to escape the loneliness, only to fully realize just how abusive Val is.
When Alastor disappears, Vox is disturbingly relieved and largely tries to put him behind him, though his mind still strays to him at times. Until seven years later, the man who broke his heart comes crashing back into his life and immediately rips open his wounds all over again.
Though he cannot figure out Alastor’s play for the life of him, he suddenly keeps purposely dropping into Vox’s life. Until one day he shocking asks Vox to leave Valentino for him.
Vox knows Alastor doesn’t love him, but he still cannot resist a chance to be closer to Alastor than he had ever been allowed before. Alastor has every intention of killing Valentino and using Vox to do so, however the man he got to know was not at all what he expected of the noisy picture box.
Wouldn’t it be a shame if their arrangement actually started to mean something?

Summary
Alastor has his own motives and ambitions when he finally gives into Vox's less-than-subtle pining for him. From the beginning he established very firm boundaries on where he stood on physical affection and what inclinations were firmly off the table.
The man he got to know was not at all what he expected and over time he slowly came to appreciate him more and more in his own way. Vox never asked for more than what he was willing to give, and little by little, he slowly began to seek out physical affection from the idiot box that had wormed his way into his life and confidence.
Just Alastor and Vox being sweet together.

Summary
When you tell people that you work as a janitor for an academic facility, most people hum and comment on how the monotony must make it a very straightforward position. And in most other places, surely it was. But not if the place you work is the Magnus Institute.
Infamous for its urban legends or as a mockery of academia —depending on who you asked— the Magnus Institute was a looming figure in the eyes of the London people.
And working there was. Just. Weird.
Exploring the perspective of what the goings on of the Magnus Institute and events in the Archives might look like from the outside, especially without context.

Summary
Lucifer believes in his daughter's dream and wants more than anything to make her proud, but there's one problem - he doesn't trust Sinners. Charlie thinks that if he just spent more time around them, he would become more sympathetic, and while Lucifer isn't convinced, he's willing to give it a chance for his daughter's sake. Well, he at least starts spending time with one Sinner, anyway. One Sinner who he can't help but be just a little captivated by. And this was probably not what Charlie had in mind when she'd told him to get to know Sinners, but he is learning about his people, so that's what counts, right?
Meanwhile, Lucifer was the last person Vox expected to run into at the club, but he certainly wasn’t about to pass up an opportunity to network with the King of Hell himself. Sure, the guy wasn't known to be the greatest king, but he was still one hell of a connection to have. Though, to be fair, this really wasn’t the kind of connection Vox had been aiming for. But surely Lucifer - the guy with the biggest holier-than-thou attitude Vox had ever met (and that was saying something) - surely he wasn’t actually interested in him like that… right?

Summary
If Alastor had been paying any attention to the film Vox had selected, he might have thought the premise rather ridiculous.
Though a 'flux capacitor' did sound like something Vox himself would come up with, so he supposed he could forgive the other man's fascination with the movie.
As it was, the film was little more than background noise to the symphony of his own thoughts, his hooves tucked up onto the couch and Vox's arm slung over his shoulders. His head was nestled comfortably under Vox's screen, the hum and whirr of his fans occasionally blowing out a burst of air that made one of Alastor's ears flick. He watched the television with half-lidded eyes, idly running a claw up and down the fabric stretched over Vox's thigh.

Summary
Angel turns to The Radio Demon to ask for help in breaking his contract with Valentino. Alastor accepts, but he could never have predicted the consequences that would follow and now he has to wrestle with his entire perception of reality being shattered and the effect it will have on his life as a ghost from his past returns.
(In other words, modern Vox and old Vox are two different people, only no one knows. Alastor, in his pursuit for more power stumbles on the latter who he never thought he would see again.)

Summary
Vox has spent years living with his regret, mourning the loss of his dearest childhood friend with noone to blame but himself. But when Alastor not only makes his way to New York, but appears to be working in entertainment as well, Vox decides he's going to rekindle their friendship no matter the cost. As it happens, the cost isn't much... but is forcing them back into each others lives really going to work out the way he hopes? And can he survive his home life long enough to try?

-
Alastor has long since walled himself off to things like empathy or affection, having learned early on that such trust is only ever rewarded with pain. With his radio show doing exceedingly well, a new friend that shares in his special dietary delights, and his ever-looming debt close to being repaid, he has finally managed to claw his way out of the downward spiral that consumed his life for years. A downward spiral that started with Vox. But now that Vox is trying to force a reunion, all of his work threatens to crumble down around him. Can he play nice long enough to settle his debt, before everything falls apart? And... does he care that Vox's own world appears to be fraying at the seams?- Language:

Summary
Time had lost all meaning. Even the hunger pangs that used to alert him to the passage of days had disappeared, his demonic body getting used to this new form of internal damage. It wasn't as if it had any permanent effect on him, after all – he couldn't starve, couldn't gain or lose weight – so the desire to eat was more of a habit carried over from his living years.
He had little to do but try and sleep, jolting himself awake when he moved an arm in his unconsciousness, ramming it into the unforgiving walls of his prison. Because he'd had the audacity to roll over, the size of the box changing while he'd slept – at times big enough to rotate in, to spin on his heels – at others no bigger than a coffin, the first one he'd ever had.
