Hazbin Hotel - Dumb Lucifer Scenario Dump

Here are just a bunch of like random scenarios that popped into my head; usually when I was half asleep or hadn't slept for several days. Im not going to do anything with these beyond this post so if someone wants to like turn these into a short story or comic, feel free. Just link back and give me credit for the idea please ~<3 Id love to see what you make!!

Contents/WARNINGS: Heavy drinking; allusions to Lucifer being outcasted everywhere; potential sad ending on third one; Alastor casually breaking hearts; Lucifer needs therapy or meds or something Actual brainrot below the cut. Not beta read we die like men -ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈

Who Needs Magic Anyway? ₊˚ ‿︵୨୧

(Little bit of context; this idea came about because I was talking to @writteninlunarlight-years about the whole 'there is only one bed trope thing)

Lucifer and reader are both drinking together. They both get so plastered that the reader cant go home on their own and Lucifer cant make a decent portal. (The portals keep fizzing out, going to the wrong places.... Point is he cant do it right atm).

So Lucifer offers to have the reader stay with him for the night. Even in their drunkin state, the reader side-eyes Lucifer at his offer and the guy just keeps digging his hole deeper Saying stuff like:

Lucifer: I-I meant we can sleep together as friends. Reader: *blinks* Lucifer: WAIT-

Lucifer even offers to make you one of those stupid pillow walls in between you two if your really that uncomfortable. What a gentleman

Anyway, you both eventually end up in his bedroom and Lucifer changes into duck pajamas (because of course thats what he has. what else would the guy have really). Then you both look at each other awkwardly as you both realize you… don't exactly have anything comfortable to sleep in.

Lucifer quickly says that its fine! He will just magic you up some pjs! Easy! Well. The problem is when he does this, his alcohol infused brain defaulted the entire concept of sleepwear to mean 'Lucifer’s sleepwear.' So when he zaps you, you end up with a perfectly matching set of ducky nightshirt and pants to Lucifer’s very own.

Lucifer immediately wants to die.

Bonus: This entire thing has now made me headcanon that Lucifer cannot control his magic when he is drunk

Playing the Hero ₊˚ ‿︵୨୧

NOTE: I used a spider here, but really it can be any bug. Or whatever you want. I just did a spider because fuck spiders, and the idea of Lucifer cowering at a mini Angel Dust was very funny to me

Its late at night and as usual Lucifer cannot sleep. Lucifer is suddenly disturbed however, by the reader in their adorable pajamas. They are looking around nervously, with their hands hidden in their sleeves.

The man is immediately ready to do anything they ask cause they are just so darn cute.

The reader sheepishly asks him if he can kill a giant spider that has decided to make itself at home in their room. Lucifer, ever the sin of pride, (and maaayyybe wanting to impress them a little), excitedly says that of course he can! Completely pushing away the fact that, he too, is afraid of spiders.

They both go to the reader's room and as soon as Lucifer sees the spider he panics a little. (”Oh god, that is actually a big spider.”, ”Why are its legs so long??”)

Wanting to play the hero but also not wanting to go anywhere near the accursed thing, Lucifer thinks itll be a great idea to just- zap it.

Well, the thing is Lucifer’s hands are very shaky at the moment, due to a combination of having all the reader's attention on him and the fear of holyshitspider. So when he tries to zap the thing he completely fucking misses like an idiot.

The spider goes flying toward the two of them, resulting in both of them bursting out of the room screaming bloody murder and waking up the rest of the hotel.

Don't Overthink It ₊˚ ‿︵୨୧

(Again, inspired by @writteninlunarlight-years specifically her post about Making Flower Crowns for the Hazbin Men. This prompt takes place during Valentines Day, but you can easily modify it to be during a different holiday. Can be platonic or romantic.

Valentines Day comes around, and you decide to gift one to the infamous King of Hell. Because youll be sending it anonymously, you decide to go all out. You get him a super nice duck themed gift, handwrite him a card, as well as get him a stunning bouquet.

What you didn't anticipate however, was Lucifer completely losing it when he receives the gift. Apparently its been decades/centuries since he last received a Valentine, let alone one as nice as the one you gave him.

He was the King of Hell after all. You assumed he got a million Valentines automatically because of his position. I mean, Alastor got piles of them so why WOULDNT the King of Hell?

Because of its anonymous nature, Lucifer's ever romantic heart gets obsessed with the Valentine. You love bombed the poor guy on complete accident. Lucifer starts trying to do his own little 'investigations' to figure out who made it for him, like comparing different handwritings to the one on the card and such. Lucifer even starts daydreaming about who it could be and imagining what they are like.

(if its romantic) Your afraid to tell him you did it because you don't want to complicate your friendship with Charlie. A part of you also feels guilty that you somehow managed to put yourself on such a high pedestal in Lucifer's eyes when... your just you.

(if its platonic) You don't want to break Lucifer's heart and tell him that you just wanted to do something nice. You feel guilty for getting his hopes up for something/someone that doesn't exist.

BONUS: At some point in the story, the reader walks by a trashcan/dumpster full of Valentines meant for Alastor that he clearly just trashed right away. Alastor hates Valentines day because everyone wont. Stop. BUGGING. HIM.

So it has some friends to lovers, h being a bf w/o the title, and just cutesy fun! But also smut every part😭

The first part will be posted to patreon next Friday, the 11th. I will start posting to tumblr when the story is officially finished on Patreon, or a bit earlier depending on how my schedule ends up working out!

Below is a sneak peek, but if you have any questions please lmk besties! I hope u love this h like I do thank you always for reading

——————

"It's okay," she said, the smile evident in her voice despite Harry not seeing the curl, "You're so silly, H."

It was the way her voice trailed off, taking on a deeper octave than before, that showed him just how close she was to finding the other side of her eyelids. He instinctively began running his thumb along the ball of her shoulder, a circuit that had him skimming her soft skin with the sleeve of her top pushed out of the way.

There was something about seeing her skin being dented by his touch, a touch that wasn't particularly strong or even rough at all. She wondered if she was able to feel the whorls of his print, the creasing of his knuckle. It was an innocent enough feeling, his hand upon her arm, but he felt his heart beginning to thump. His throat was thick enough he felt his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed.

This was another facet that only took on a life of its own, the casual intimacy that had been sparked between them now that they shared a home. Laying her head on his shoulder in a passing hug, resting her head on his lap, practically asking him to put his hands on her as she was lulled to sleep. Logically, he was sure this was supposed to get easier as it went, the more it happened the magic was supposed to lessen. But, that just didn't happen.

His heart still thumped heavily. His stomach tightened and pitted and warmed. His...  well, other parts of him appreciate the touching too, even if he chose not to focus on those parts of himself.

It felt more than wrong to acknowledge his baser interests in her, not when she was such a kind and loving friend to him. If that boundary between them was meant to be crossed, there were plenty of times both during their university days and the years that followed, that gave perfect opportunities for that line to be wiped away and crossed in favor of something new. Instead, they were still just friends—best friends, even.

You're not supposed to get hard over your best friend. Not when she was doing nothing but falling asleep in his lap. Not when she was relaxing in her own home in comfortable pajamas—even if they were comprised of a soft t-shirt and pair of shorts just a touch too small that rolled up at the hem, giving more and more skin for his eyes to feast upon. Without a bra, of course. A fact evident in the way her nipples would peak against the material.

No, he was not supposed to be hard over that. Not to mention the glaring fact that she spent nearly every weekend on a date with someone or going out with the express purpose of having fun and meeting other people.

There was also, of course, the most prominent issue: he's a virgin. Even if he somehow managed to see more than just a friendship in him, he would have no idea how to take care of her. (Y/N) was someone who had experienced enough physical affection that she no doubt knew what she enjoyed and what she didn't; there was little to no appeal to teaching the one you're in bed with how to the do the most basic of acts.

So he would keep his distance, even if the rest of his body refused to get on the same page.

"Are you okay?"

(Y/N)'s mumbled voice shook Harry from his thoughts. Blinking back to the real world, she was tipping her head up to look at him with sleepy eyes.

"Hm?" he hummed, aware of the way his hand had gone still on her arm and his bones had grown stiff.

"Do you want me to move or something?" she murmured, "So you can get comfortable? Sorry if I made your leg fall asleep."

Harry's skin warmed to a flushing red. Of course, he would grow restless when she was on his mind. Taking stock of his body, at least he knew he wasn't that hard; any longer in his mind and he may have had a problem.

"'S alright, 'm alright," he rushed out, "Jus' think 'm getting tired. Sorry."

She smiled up at him, her hair haloing around her head in his lap. "It's okay," she laughed, "Do you want to go to bed? We can keep watching tomorrow instead."

That was what he needed at the moment: distance. Some peace and quiet and a moment to get his head on straight. "Let's go to bed," he affirmed, mimicking her soft smile.

Her movements were lethargic as she moved off of his lap. A curling stretch had her raising her arms above her head, the hem of her top lifting just enough to show a sliver of skin above the waistline of her shorts. Harry quickly retracted his eyes, settling his gaze to his feet instead.

Turning to him, with eyes slightly hooded and limbs languid, (Y/N) gave him a smile. "Goodnight, H," she mumbled, "Thanks for making my night better."

Collecting him in her arms, Harry didn't have to think before he was reciprocating her hug. The scent of her perfume twisted around him, stray hairs tickling the tip of his nose. Her words echoed in his head.

He made her night. She made his life.

Putting mini rollos in a jar and shaking them sort of like a jar with fireflies the mini rollos light up with their own "dark fire" magic

It's very useful when there's a power outage! :3

Man the idea is so fun ! I tried to kinda replicate it irl with whatever I had lying around (not @ my home atm)

Dark fire lantern 1.0 one of them fell and started to actually burn a bit, rip mini rollo

Terrible aftermath of the mini dark fire rollos.

Two managed to stick and one fell hence why he's not on the pics, I tried to keep them against the sides of the candle holder with molten wax (didn't work) and sugar and water- (kinda worked ??)

I have an actual lantern @ home, I'll try to replicate it again with proper materials !

Say that AtM happened before the events of UtRH, or during but not after. And after Jason settles into his new normal as a parent, and Mini Bruce settles into his new life with a crime boss for a dad, Jason resumes his criminal activities and bat taunting.

He tells mini Bruce once night that he might get home a bit more roughed up then usual, because that's the night of his showdown with the bat and the clown.

Maybe Bruce follows because something is telling him that things will go horribly wrong or maybe Jason manages to drag himself home as he bleeds out, but either way mini Bruce now has to deal with seeing his last remaining family having his throat slit by his own father, who Bruce could and would have become without Jason's intervention, or maybe he even witnessed it happen.

I imagine it wouldn't make him overly fond of batman and his allies 🦇

Actually UtRH hasn’t happened in Antithesis of Magic yet!

Jason got transported to that alternate universe a few months after his meteoric rise through the Gotham underworld, so the showdown with Batman and Joker hasn’t happened (yet). It’s mentioned in passing during chapter one or two I think :)

[spiritoffox]

If I was writing a Dungeon Meshi AU of SVSSS, it would probably go like this (MoShang, sorta!BingYuan and implied QiJiu, kinda hopeful/YMMV ending(?), spoilers for DunMeshi):

- Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan are elf siblings (possibly twins haven't decided), born at the bottom of elven society

- SJ manages to gain enough money with both legal and illegal stuff to be somewhat respected (but nowhere near the level of the elf noble families) - he is also something of a rogue

- SY (still a transmigrator, the younger brother) gets accepted into a very good Magic school on a scholarship - mage, specializes in monsters etc. which makes his possible employment opportunities as a court mage/mage somewhat limited outside of dungeons (and they don't have the generational wealth nobles have to do whatever they want, they need to have a paying job)

- the brothers clash a lot over each other's choices which also results in some alienation between them

- SY goes off to study dungeons, SJ stays to build his growing empire of not-completely-legal activities

- SY gets known enough as an expert to get permission to go into various sealed/etc dungeons with the Canaries to study them (the Canaries are like the elven dungeon investigators/guards made up from nobles' children and convicts)

- Years pass in this stalemate between them, then one day Yue Qingyuan (elf, childhood friend, rediscovered heir to a noble family) arrives at SJ's doorstep to tell him that his brother was last seen entering a sealed dungeon months ago and not coming out since then. Additionally the dungeon started growing again which means that it likely has a new lord

- SJ decides to retrieve his brother (or his corpse then resurrect him then scold him a fuckton about being stupid)

- YQY can't go with him, but he can put him in contact with some adventurers

- months pass (bc traveling and making arrangements takes a lot of time)

- meet Shang Qinghua (still a transmigrator, also a dwarf now, rogue/cleric), his hubby Mobei-jun (ogre... what? I like the size diff... - warrior/mage btw), their buddy Liu Qingge (tall-men, warrior) and his sister Liu Mingyan (tall-men, mage/warrior) - there is a lot of multi-classing in this idea but eh

- and a warrior Luo Binghe (elf/tall-men) whom SQH is adamant they must take with them into the dungeon (because SQH is fairly sure that LBH's protag halo works just as well in this dunmeshi AU as it did in his novel)

- a few groups of the Canaries are camped outside the dungeon, not letting anyone in or out, monitoring the situation, preparing to storm and destroy the dungeon before monsters start spilling out

- so they (SJ and co) sneak into the dungeon, fighting monsters etc and eventually coming across some of the previous Canaries' bodies

- a lot of them were so destroyed/died too long that they couldn't be resurrected, SJ has a mini breakdown what this might mean for SY

- meanwhile we get a look at SY's side of the story, learn that they ran into a strange tall-men named Xin Mo in the dungeon and who turned out to be the dungeon's demon in disguise

- Xin Mo sweeps SY away and they make a deal, thus SY becomes the new dungeon lord

- he lives a quiet life studying the monsters in the dungeon (possibly mashed with his modern memories so the dungeon would start reflecting those too which would make SQH freak out a little while others are like "what twisted mind would come up with these concrete monstrosities" etc.) and creating new monsters too and there is a Luo Bingge look alike too tending to his every need (this LBH is made up of SY's memories of og!PIDW!LBH and some monsters)

- XM also feeds off of him and fanning his desires so that he can devour SY and break out of the dungeon eventually

And that's what I have atm. It would likely have a somewhat angsty ending with SJ not reaching SY in time so he gets half/mostly devoured and then how they all have to live with that. So like a hopeful ending bc they succeed, SY is alive but also really injured etc. but he could get reasonably better eventually.

I'm gonna try documenting my shifting journey :)

Heyy! I'm Pebble, I've been a shifter for 3 years and I've never actually tried documenting my shifting journey before? I feel like it would help me a lot to get my experiences out there <3

My main DRs:

♡My Hero Academia - Student(The one I've put the most energy into)

♡My Hero Academia - Room Mates with Aizawa(in our early 20s, before he became a teacher)

♡Stardew Valley

♡My little Pony Friendship is Magic - Mostly to heal my inner child tbh, i feel like watching so much of that show as a kid formed a part of my brain

Secondary DRs I'm not focused on ATM:

♡Dragon Ball Z

♡Harry Potter

♡Baldur's Gate 3

♡Legend Of Zelda

♡Naruto

♡Tinker Bel

♡Adventure Time

♡Royalty DR

♡ATLA

My shifting experiences:

I HAVE shifted before! though a mini shift, I'll give you my stories!!

My first shifting experience wasn't anything too crazy, but I had woken up in my sister's bedroom, completely shrouded in darkness. I was alarmed because i thought i had taken a nap in there. But after trying to alert someone, I woke up in my bedroom. This was far different than any lucid dream I've ever had, because it was sudden and surreal. I was having a normal dream and all the sudden I was in pitch blackness and groggy, I could feel my entire body.

♡This second one still freaks me out. I was just laying my head down, talking to my boyfriend on the phone - but when i look up I'm in my DR bedroom for only a split second. It was absolutely insane and I had no idea how to react still.

♡My third one was me waking up to Kirishima gently nudging my shoulder, as my eyes slowly adjusted to my blue digital clock in pure darkness that i HAD SCRIPTED - I could hear him laugh and say "C'mooon, brooo!" and I have no idea the context of what was going on. I was just peacefully in my bunk bed! i guess that tracks, bc i still have no idea why he woke me up.

♡My fourth one was very vague and I don't have a clear memory of this, but it's my most recent success:

♡I woke up in my DR bed after a super rough day, and after allowing myself to relax and assuring myself i have all the time in the world to shift - I realized that something changed. I don't remember seeing anything, but when I wrote to my friends I said something like I could see my room but I don't necessarily remember it. Tbf, that was like a year ago and I'm hopping back into shifting again :)

Let me know If you have any questions about my DRs!! :)

[priscilla9993]

how would you torture killian psychology in the underworld?

Psychologically... Hades would make him think that he's talking to his actual family members or support system when in actuality, they're all illusions. The magic would read Killian's regrets or nightmares and filter them into illusions. Liam would be telling him how hurt he is that Killian became a pirate and never stopped becoming an alcoholic, how he disowns him as a brother bc he can't believe he failed as an older brother to guide Killian to the good side. Maybe to rub it in, illusion Liam might rub in that he's in the underworld bc he had regrets over leaving Killian alone after a stupid death by dreamshade, but after seeing the pathetic mess that Killian had become, he feels ashamed to have wasted his life trying and sacrificing so much for Killian when his little brother never amounted to much. Brennan wouldn't be winning dad of the year, but I expect his illusion to make Killian regret killing him by leaving Liam 2 behind as a fatherless orphan. I also want him to say that he "honestly, bc being dead gives him nothing left to lose" was so glad that that he left Killian behind bc his kid self was so needy for love and attention, another mouth to feed with the wars and taxes going on, but regrets not taking Liam with him.

If going onto David, it would be how he'd never accept Killian, no matter what he says, but only tolerates him bc he doesn't want to ruin his relationship with Emma.

Emma, well, she would go on about how upset she would be over Killian being weak to the darkness to how Killian never shares with her his past, despite them living together and prepared to be with one another for life. She'd say about how she'd let down her walls but he can't give her one small bit about his past, even though she's supposed to be the one he can share stuff with. Maybe there'd even be a hint of how Killian is too stubborn for her liking and has the loudest snoring, a turn off for her.

For the whumpy bits, maybe the illusions could be tortured versions of characters, whether physically shown or just audio of screams, whimpers, and cries of help being echoed throughout the chambers. Hades taunting that he could make it stop if Killian decides what to do next, aka get tortured instead of the loved one, giving Emma or someone else relief from the suffering for an hour or so. No one is truly getting hurt but Killian, yet Hades loves to see his defiant and strong acting side drop as he grits his teeth and agrees to the torture, Hades not giving in until Killian begs for the pain to begin.

Keeping Killian always walking on eggshells, unable to anticipate his next move. Despite being dead, Killian can feel every physical thing as if he were alive, being kept on the brink of exhaustion, sleep deprivation, hunger pangs galore, and being messed around with mind games and rounds of torture. His punishments for being boring or mini breaks from everything are always solitary in that open cell area. I want to say that his cell is always filled with audio playing of his worst moments that he regrets or Captain Silver shouting commands at him, taking him back to his fearful days as a kid, but knowing he can't do anything fulfilling the orders.

I don't have any more atm but what a great ask! Thanks for asking, Abby! XD

[otaku-babu-vibes]

I don't like games were you have to grind.. I knew the moment going in the reverie corridor and not all of the characters were there, that that's what the game wants you to do. 😫

I spent from 7am - 3pm just trying to lvl up characters to 130. pom-poms don't drop enough in the hills. I honestly stopped at lvl 129 for like 6 characters and then I did the golden gacha, and Olivert and Schera are lvl 124.. I wanna die..

I am enjoying the daydreams a LOT tho .. I'm not much of a fan of mini games, atm I only like magical girl Alisa and pom-pom party.. I did get a new mini game I will try..

[landograndprix]

helloooo! im not sure if you've answered this already, and im so sorry if so, i was wondering if you were going to do the part 2 to charle's ending and lando's ending for mini me, mini you?? i understand if its not your priority atm w feel the magic (which is so good!!)

hope you're doing well x

I've actually answered something similar earlier today! ☺ this is all I'm able to give you for that series for now, so here's a little sneak peek I guess 😭

hi so really silly lore thoughts here (not canon yet so very dubious atm but i am HEAVILY CONSIDERING)

both are deities (or at the very least nonhuman , yk the kind where people make stories of them idk) that have long since integrated into human society , fos controls (or has power over gruagayegshgfhdhdg) sunlight and is often associated with the golden hour, sunflowers and bunnies (which is funny considering who he is - not quite the most sunniest of personalities but idk im thinking on it)

while as omi has power over the mist and fog, guides travelers or the lost on their journeys using blue morpho and dragontail butterflies (he also guides souls to the afterlife)

when together theyre known as faux auroras, and known to appear only to children or those who simply need comfort, their powers combined make mini faux auroras which they use to comfort them (+ idk summoning little magic animals thatd be cool??????) they stay around until they feel like you got the comfort you need, ofc they do reappear sometimes

anyway my sillies fr :3c hope you enjoy my ramble LOL i might make designs of their deity forms but we'll see

BuffyTVS/Marvel Fic Idea

Timeline: the Buffy show happens in the late 90’s/early aughts (?) and ends before the (Marvel) Invasion of New York happens and makes ‘superheroes’ and ‘gods’ more commonplace. I headcannon that SHIELD is very okay with the old Watchers Council way of handling (controlling/abusing/neglecting slayers) and are happy to leave them be. I imagine they’re less cool with Buffy and co taking over to run it after the old Council is blown is killed by minions of the First. Thankfully, they’ll be too buys with Stark and co by then. Timelines can be adjusted to make things work.

So remember when Willow, Xander, Anya, and Tara brought Buffy back to life by calling on Osiris (see Urn of Osiris)? Well, in my prompt Osiris (a cannon character in Marvel) exacts a price for the ritual to work. A few weeks after Buffy is successfully resurrected, they discover that Willow is pregnant and when the baby is born it has a symbol of Osiris on it somewhere. Could be an unknown father (demi-god?) or a mix of DNA from the four of them. A mix could have Xander’s magic unluck or a connection to the hyena, a touch of Anya’s past demon life, Willow and Tara’s magic.

The baby can be raised with the scoobies or not. Maybe sent away when Sunnydale evacuates for the last battle. Both Tara and Anya die by the end of the series, so maybe joint custody between Willow and Xander. Despite the mark the kids is as normal as a kid raised by witches, slayers, and watchers can be.

Until…

In the Moonknight series Arthur Harrow (former avatar of Khonshu and current devotee of Ammit) fights the Ennead (Egyptian gods that watch humanity and live in the Overvoid/Celestial Heliopolis), which is led by Osiris’ avatar, a man name Selim. Selim dies in the last fight to contain Ammit.

And when Selim dies… the child of the scoobies with the Osiris mark is empowered as Osiris’ avatar. Will the scoobies be accepting of that? Will they think their kid is evil/possessed?

Moonknight gets to meet the new avatar or Osiris, a slayer/witch/watcher raised possibly demigod. That surely can’t go badly.

I'll probably write at least a few scenes of this, but it would be OC heavy.

Demigod OC making friends in New Asguard? How do the Ennead and Asgardians get along? Does anyone know? Drop me a line! I'd love to read Moonknight comics but all I have atm is google and the mini-series.

Ribeira and Douro Valley: Porto

We headed out of São Miguel before dawn and caught an early flight to Porto. After an overlap with a Frankfurt flight and an April Fool’s landing, we made it in about two hours. Taking an Uber from the airport, it looked like your everyday city, but once we approached Ribeira and saw the Douro River and bridges, it was pretty magical.

Day One: Ribeira

After three years inside, I had forgotten how romantic and whimsical European cities are 🥰. We dropped our bags off at the hotel, Hotel Carris Porto Ribeira, which was in a great location—close to the river, restaurants, and sites. After walking around for a little bit, we had lunch at Terreirinho, a tapas place. It was very charming, and the food was perfect for light bites. 

Afterward, we walked to and across the Don Luis Bridge, which the metro shares with the pedestrian walkway—scary! The views from the bridge were beautiful. 

Before heading back to the hotel, we stopped inside a mini mart across the street to pick up a bottle of green wine and saw they had pasteles de nata—like one-fourth of the reason why we were in Portugal! We picked up a couple, and they were among the best we had in both Porto and Lisbon!

SO good. Compared to dan tots, they were sweeter with a crispier crust. We digested and hung out at the hotel before heading out to dinner. We tried to go to the highly rated Taberna dos Mercados but didn’t realize they require reservations, like, years in advance. Restaurants close at 3 and then open at 7, so dinnertime means swarms of tourists frantically looking for places to eat. Luckily, we are 90 years old and were among the first wave of dinner goers. We walked around and stumbled upon Adega Dona Atonia and lucked out. The staff was so nice, and the food was delightful. We shared cod dumplings, seafood rice, and rosé. 

After dinner, we enjoyed the views of the bridge from our hotel balcony. It was worth splurging a bit to stay in the center of the city and get room with a view. 

Day Two: Douro Valley

For our only full day in Porto, we booked a tour in the Douro Valley to take in some valley views and valley vinho. We woke up early and found a café that was technically open, but they were not pleased we showed up exactly at 7 a.m. It wasn’t great, but the old pastries and latte gave us some sustenance before our drive. We were picked up by our tour guide, Ricardo, and the rest of the tour group, who were CHATTY. They hailed from Rochester, Montreal, and Seattle. We sat in the front and mostly listened in on their conversations. Ricardo was not the best tour guide—nowhere near Fernando in São Miguel. And he was an insane driver. But the tour was good overall. Our first stop was at Croft where we tried three ports and cheese. 

Next, we went on a boat ride in the river. It was cool but felt like a time filler. Bring me to the next vineyard, please!

I can’t remember where we had lunch (Ricardo was not good at keeping us in the loop). But it was pretty good. I had the shredded cod, Roobz got the pork, and we also got carrot soup and chocolate cake. Outside the restaurant, there were random peacocks, so that was fun!

Our last stop was at Quinta dos Castelares. We tried their rosé, moscato, and red wine from an oak barrel. We saw the views of the valley on the way back—lovely!

The drive back was wild and rainy. Ricardo told us about a good fado place and made a reservation for us, which was the only nice thing he did. It was at Galeria de Paris and was great, but he failed to mention it was 19 euros per person, so Roobz had to run to an ATM. Classic Ricardo. It was nice, though, because they only served drinks so you could really take in the music and learn the history of fado without the clinks and clanks of people eating. 

For dinner, we were without a plan, so we had to wander in the drizzle a bit until we stumbled upon Porto à Noite. We may have just been hungry and grumpy from the rain, but I loved everything so much. We shared the seafood salad, I got their salted bacalhau (cod), and Roobz got the pork chops. It was the best meal we had in Porto, and the waiter was also funny. 

I’m glad we stumbled upon good places to eat and fun activities for such a short stop. I could have spent a day or two more to really take in the city, but it was a good amount of time for a two-week vacation with four stops. I’m glad we had an enjoyable experience and no food busts like in Rome #neverforget. With that, we were ready to head to our final stop: Lisbon, baby!
