#but I don't think I'm too far off here since Lucifer's pretty 'blah' about the general fuckery that goes on in Hell

For the devil bastard au and subsequent aus derived from it. How would Luci react to Vox's flat out obsession with Alastor?
Well it's Hell, and stalkers are probably dime a dozen, so I think the general reaction would probably be more blase than it should be. Not that the folks in the hotel are unbothered, just that they underreact to it. Sort of like how Charlie's response to Alastor slaughtering and eating a bunch of professional criminals right in front of her hotel in a bloody rampage was concern and mild disappointment rather than, you know, shock and horror.
"-a bit more sadistic than I'd hoped," she says.
That is to say, Lucifer's initial reaction in the main branch of the Devil's Bastard AU is more along the lines of irritation with a vague sense of, 'Seriously, why this guy?'
But then when Lucifer learns Alastor's his kid and the overprotectiveness kicks in? Yeah, Vox made the right move to back off. Things get hectic enough in the aftermath of the reveal that Vox is able to slip into the back of Luicfer's mind for a while. Once things settle down, however, and Vox gains the confidence to start having his drones fly over the hotel again, Lucifer kind of does a mental double take as he re-registers the fact that his son has a stalker. Never mind Alastor saying that Vox is not important and he's more than capable of dealing with that subpar megalomaniac picture box.
See, it's hard for Lucifer to believe that when Vox is still breathing. Buuut... He's trying hard to mend things with Alastor, or at the very least, not to fuck things up further. So even though the sound of those buzzing drones hovering in the air like a bunch of vultures makes Lucifer sick to his stomach, he doesn't immediately go to smite Vox. That won't stop him from vaporizing the drones if he catches them, or from making his displeasure apparent if he and Vox were ever to cross paths.
And when Angel drops how Valentino spoke to Charlie the day she went to the studio? What he did to her?
Charlie has to physically restrain Lucifer from storming through the portal he opened up to go to Vee tower and obliterate the whole thing, along with everyone inside.
I'll gloss over the Kid AU since the stalking element isn't as present there. But in the Raised Together AU, Lucifer very much Did Not like Vox from the start. He thought Vox was a bad influence on Alastor and tried to discourage the friendship. Which of course only made Alastor like Vox more. Lucifer felt kind of vindicated when things went sour between Vox and Alastor, but also furious on Alastor's behalf. Still, Alastor refused to let Lucifer do anything to Vox, both out of pride and not wanting his father fighting his battles for him, and lingering sentiment towards Vox. This greatly disturbs Lucifer.
