Fucking hell Nightbringer really gave me everything huh god
Henry 1.0 origin story
Cerberus origin story
Satan's cat thing origin story
"Goldie in Freezer" origin story
Levi's Ruri-chan obsession origin story
Mammon being scared of ghosts/horror origin story
More in depth version of Solomon & Asmo's first meeting/pact origin story
A painful reason for why Asmo's room looks like that
What the tsl characters would have been like irl (the absolute worst wtf simeon)
Mammon's issues finally discussed in depth
Mammon being extremely ride or die for Lucifer
Almost instant Mammon & MC friendship
Mammon being just so amazed by MC and also insanely supportive of them
Mammon being willing to do anything for his brothers, being more sure of himself, almost instantly following Lucifer's orders and making the others do so as well
Levi's issues discussed in depth.
Levi straight up saying he was depressed and still is
Levi's friendship with MC!
Levi & Lucifer's relationship!!!!!
Levi being shy and scared and just so 😖
Things being bad in the Celestial Realm even before they left
Asmo's issues being discussed in depth
Asmo very explicitly having body dysmorphia
The brothers being much more supportive and loving of each other
Lucifer being visibly scared of losing another family member and being insanely overprotective because of it
The brothers being slowly overtaken by their sins (something that was always a part of them but also something they could control as angels) and losing control of themselves
The brothers gaining new magic
Satan being a fucking mess
Satan not really fitting in and all of them being really awkward around him
Satan's issues being discussed in depth
Belphie's issues being discussed in depth
Belphie expressing passive suicidal ideation
Belphie talking about how he needs someone to blame for what happened to Lilith so he can process it/make sense of it even if that someone is himself
Lucifer's issues being touched on from from different perspectives/angles
Diavolo's issues being hinted at
Simeon's issues being vaguely discussed
More about Lilith! (remember my post about how lilith definitely wasn't a sweet little angel because there's no way the universe would let lucifer catch a break? I was right!!! She was as much a little shit as the rest of her family!)
More about the demon king! (He wanted to stop the war too🥺 also a whole line of previous demon kings!)
More about god/how angels work (all angels are brothers & sisters but not technically family the way lucifer & his siblings are!)
ADAM!?!?!?!?!?
Solomon & MC's Sorcerer & Apprentice relationship seen in full detail!
MC being absolutely amazing
MC being competent and powerful and dangerous and resourceful and confident and the brothers realising all that but them also being funny and snarky and chaotic and outgoing and homesick and caring
References to present (s1-s4) brothers (& how they'll tear solomon apart if he doesn't bring MC back)
NIGHTBRINGER!? BARBATOS!!!??? but past barbatos doesn't seem to know anything about MC and present barbatos is helping solomon bring MC back....so who...?
References to Noble demons and conservative demons and devildom politics
Angel - Demon prejudice /racism from both sides explicitly shown
The brothers being war criminals and how the devildom sheltering them nearly re-started the war between the two realms
None of them being able to identify MC as a human (it takes Diavolo a long time + Lucifer straight up denies it when MC tells him), Adam & Nightbringer saying MC has the "power of angels", MC's favourite manga being one where the youngest child out of 7 is described as being angelic (*cough*lilith*cough*), Diavolo, even after knowing MC is a human, going "what are you"..... me softly chanting: nephilim!mc nephilim!mc nephilim!mc
The lessons flow better? It doesn't feel like one arc is squished into two lessons and then you must immediately jump into another different arc. It feels like it's all just happening in a connected sequence?
Better pacing in my opinion. It doesn't feel rushed.... like the part where satan discovers cats and then later is seen still sitting next to the cat and watching it? It feels appropriately spaced out
MC's relationships with everyone doesn't feel isolated. Like earlier there'd be a lesson or two dedicated to one character and we won't see much of the other characters during it. Now it feels like everyone is there interacting with everything in a normal, natural way. Yes there are lessons dedicated to getting to know one brother but the others are there, interacting with each other and MC during that time as well
The emotions & relationships are discussed/written in a way that feels very real and believable that it becomes actually really moving (s1-s4 also did this well but in nightbringer because of arcs/scenes/relationships not being isolated, of things flowing better and having a better pacing, of them outright discussing their issues it has a greater impact - yes I cried more than once shut up)
In the end, Nighbringer is darker than og OM! but not in the "grrr gonna kill you" way. It's "darker" because they address more serious topics in depth

Your work is AMAZING! I hope you're proud of yourself! 💕
I was wondering if you could write how the brothers would react to finding out you're insecure about your body/ looks? I feel like Lucifer and Beel would be so so sweet to MC 🥰
Have a wonderful rest of your day and stay safe!
Thank you!!! 🥺 Sorry for the wait friend, I nervously kept rewriting this for a while 😆♡
MC Feeling Insecure (Obey Me!)
Tumblr media
"The truth is...I've always been insecure about my body and how I look." You say, confiding in your favorite demon one day.
»Characters: Demon Bros
»Tags: GN Reader, Fluff/Some Humor, Bulleted Style, Levi being down bad in his weird sweet way, Satan with the rizz™️
»Notes: I use beautiful+gorgeous+darling so if that bothers you then you should probably skip this!
Tumblr media
Lucifer:
"You like to give me headaches." (Affectionate)
He just thought you knew how beautiful you are, he was surprised
The avatar of pride was going to teach you a lesson, it's what he does best after all
"We'll work through it together. I'll show you what I love about you."
And show you he did; he kissed every part of you that he loved- which was everything
He would tell you how great you looked, even in front of others
He took pride in that; it comes in many forms you see
He gave you daily affirmations and was patient with you on your bad days
One day he held your face gently and made you look at him: "I've been around for centuries and have had the opportunity to see all the realms...and I'd never met someone as beautiful as you." ♡♡♡
Tumblr media
Mammon:
"Huh?"
He got real quiet...he was mildly annoyed
Actually, he started getting a little mad
How could you not see how perfect you are!?
Fine! Tch!
He took both your hands and looked at you intensely, knowing his face was burning
"Listen here-!"
"YoureTheMostBeautifulBeingInAllTheRealms!"
"You'rePerfection! ICantKeepMyEyesOffYou!"
Although his face was burning, he hoped in his heart that you understood how beautiful you are, it hurt him to think you thought otherwise
From then on he made an effort everyday (he hoped it helped) to tell you something he liked about you in his own Mammon way
Usually via text bc in person was too much for the tsundere sometimes
(1) New text from Mammon: Look all I'm sayin' is I know beautiful treasure when I see it, got it?
Tumblr media
Levi:
"Ehh!?!"
He was not having it!
He thinks you're the most perfect thing ever!
The most precious thing to have ever graced his disgustingly bleak life!
He felt a little bad at his outburst, he didn't mean to disregard your feelings
He knows a thing or two about insecurities after all
But he just cannot have you thinking that way and wanted to help you if he can!
The demon otaku pulled out a ready made powerpoint on why you're the absolutely perfect 3D partner
"L-look... all in all...you're beautiful! And I'll do a-anything I can to help you see that!"
He made it a point to worship you every day no matter how nervous he was
Yes he started a fan club, yes everyone else joined
Even Henry and Cerberus were a part of it
Tumblr media
Satan:
"Hm. To think, I didn't expect someone as gorgeous as you would actually give me the time of day."
Tbh he also understands insecurities with one's self
He didn't know you also suffered through the same; and he wasn't going to let you go through it alone
"For what it's worth, I think you're absolute perfection." He said placing a kiss on your forehead
Brought out some self help books and the two of you went through them together
He would leave you daily positive handwritten notes
That didn't stop him from telling you how gorgeous you are in person though
Tumblr media
Asmo:
"What!? I think you're absolutely gorgeous...Do you want to talk more about it?"
He was familiar with insecurities too, unbeknownst to...nearly everyone, so he sure as hell wasn't going to let you go through this alone!
He lent an ear and reassured you that you were so perfect and that you'll see it one day like so many others do
"Do you know how many demons and monsters we have to chase off everyday!?" "What!?" "Nevermind! But darling you are downright gorgeous down to your soul!"
Your personal hype man
Started hyping you up every morning before RAD...eventually everyone started joining in, even Lucifer
Tumblr media
Beel:
"You're perfect the way you are?"
This big guy was confused, he didn't mean to sound rude or anything to your feelings
He just wasn't prepared for your confession
He thought you were divine; if he didn't know any better he'd think you were from the celestial realm
No matter-- he was going to help you see your beauty one way or another
He hugged you tightly, "Thank you for trusting me"
He held your hand as the two of you talked and he tried to reassure you the best he could
He covered you in kisses and, if you were okay with it, gave extra attention to the parts you hated
"You're delicious in so many ways. You're really beautiful."
Looked up ways to make you feel better and made you a jar with little daily affirmation notes ♡
Like everyone else, also told you personally everyday how beautiful you are
Tumblr media
Belphie:
"...That's dumb."
Okay, even he thought that came out a little harsher than intended...leave it to him to be blunt
"I mean, I literally dream about you and when I'm awake you're better than any dream. You're beautiful."
He hugged you in hopes of making you feel better
"Look I'm not good at these things but I'll remind you everyday how amazingly gorgeous you are, alright?"
If you happen to nap/sleep together, he will whisper sweet stuff into your ear
"I'll keep saying these things until you believe it. And continue to, even after you realize it yourself."

Could you maybe write some headcanons for how the demon brothers would feel about an MC who has a service dog for anxiety?
If you don't feel like writing it or it's too difficult that's completely okay too don't worry.
(I'm a service dog user myself so I just thought it would be nice.)
I hope you'll like these headcanons and that I got everything right! If there is anything I need to correct let me know.
Also sorry for taking so long, I needed to be finished with a fic for a collab first!
Demon brothers x gn!MC
Warning: Belphegor's part has spoilers for lesson 16!
MC with a service dog for anxiety
Lucifer
Since he is one of the people in charge of the exchange program he made sure to also prepare everything for your dog. Anything from food to all the way to paperwork so you two can go anywhere without being disturbed.
He is a dog person so he got a soft spot for your emotional support dog. The dog is probably more spoiled than you, at least until he starts to actually like you.
Since you are in need of your dog he won't bother it. He knows the dog has its job to do.
Is honestly relieved that you got someone other than his brothers to rely on, especially that being dragged to a different dimeons is not good for your mental health.
Mammon
So not only does he need to take care of a human, but he needs to take care of their dog too now??
Before actually realizing that your dog is more than a simple pet he wanted to include it in one of his money making schemes. After you and Lucifer tell him off he actually gets it and backs off
He does a 180° with his attitude and is really glad that there is someone to be near you when he can't be there to protect you. Lowkey he and the dog have some kind of nonverbal agreement on how to help you with your anxiety.
Tries to spoil the dog and buy luxury items for it. You'll have to let him know what could distract your service dog or not. He honestly gets everything really fast.
Leviathan
Jealous that he can't take Henry with him the way you can do with your service dog...and looking at him he might need some service/therapy/emotional support animal outside of his fish.
He knows how bad anxiety can be, so he is both greatfull that you got some support and a bit jealous because of it too.
He is really chill with the dog, he even made a small spot where it can relax when you stay in his room.
He once saw Henry trying to get your service dog's attention and took it as a sign that both of your guy's friendship/relationship is made to last for a long time.
Tries to find animes where the protagonist has a service dog for anxiety so you could relate to more chatacters
Satan
He has only read about service/therapy/emotional supports animals so he was really curious of seeing one in real life.
Be prepared to be asked a ton of questions about your dog's training, routine, how it helps you manage your anxiety. He sees it as a way to both get to know you better and to learn something new.
Might use the way your service dog helps to convince Lucifer to let him get an emotional support cat for his anger. Lucifer, of course, denies his request.
Just because he is a cat person it doesn't mean he doesn't love other animals as well. He knew that service dogs go through some training to be able to adapt to different situation, but being dragged to hell might go out of what any service animal is prepared for. He will go out of his way to give him a bit of training and some protection spells.
Asmodeus
He adores dogs. He had to be told that service animals are not the same thing as pets, so he can't go around playing and dressing up the poor dog.
He will pout about it for a bit before getting over it but that just means he can focus in spoiling you even more.
Lowkey educates the Devildom by accident about service animals due to how many Devilgram posts he makes about you and your dog.
A/N: ok but there is one event where Solomon talked with a fish and apparently the god damn fish had better working conditions than humans...so yeah, I guess animals are really treated with respect down there.
He will make sure that your service dog always look at its best. His resoning? Seeing him be so cute and soft will help you with your anxiety. He does make sure to not really separate it from you.
Beelzebub
He was watched very closely at the begging by his brothers, so he wouldn't try to eat you or your dog. It didn't take long for things to settle and for him to start liking your service dog. Especially that he likes dogs.
He might or might not have tried some of your service dog's food...he felt really sorry and went to buy any and all snacks he could find. MC would probably have to remind him what their dog can and can't eat.
He sees the dog as part of the family and takes it upon himself to make sure that both you and your service dog are safe and sound.
If, by some chance, you have to be away from their service dog Beel will be the first one to volunteer to take care of him.
Belphegor
How the fuck did both you and your service dog sneak into the attic, more times than once?? The poor animal is acting uneasy the first time it sees Belphie.
Imagine if you decide to sneak into the attic alone for your visits and leave your service dog behind. Those would be the times when the dog is on high alert.
OK BUT imagine lesson 16. One moment the dog is with you and the other the dog is trying to understand how you suddenly got hurt and die...
If after the incident your anxiety gets worse, your service dog would put himself between you and Belphegor to try and distract you/put you at ease.
Outside of all the angst, Belphie is pretty chill with the dog. If he wants to cuddle with you he will even welcome your service dog in the cuddle pile. He is honestly relieved that you got some support system, especially after the whole lesson 16 affair..
Also a dog person, so he will be very fond of your service dog.

Head Filled With Demons Part 5 (Steddie X You)
Tumblr media
A/N: I bare you...this final part. <3. I can always come back to them as I'm sure they have many more stories to tell now. When I wrote Maeve I pictured her looking very much like Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia from Buffy). I think she's a gorgeous lady :).
Enjoy!
Warnings: Demon Steddie X Human Fem Reader, SMUT, slight over stimulation (they are enjoying her and each other), DP, and everything else that comes along with these three. FLUFF, LOTS of mentions about how much they love her and vice versa, ANGST, final murder (brief), sassy evil Henry is back, mentions of their past summoners and what happened with them including their murders, Reader meets the woman that trapped them and makes a deal. I think that's everything.
Word Count: 7954
“Fuck!”, you screech into the sunrise as you march along the wooded path. 
“Oof someone’s angry.” A beautiful young lady dances past you towards a tree you feel like you’ve seen many times before but can’t pinpoint where. “Do you want to talk about it?”
“I’m, um, trying to save the… men… I love.”
“How so?”, she asks without looking your way as she does a pirouette.
“Um…They’ve been stuck somewhere they shouldn’t have been in the first place. They deserve to live a normal life and be happy.”
“What an odd word choice. What IS a normal life for a demon?”
Your eyes narrow in her direction as you try to follow her while she continues to do ballet steps you saw your own mother do numerous times. 
“Do I know you?”
“Let me ask you something, Y/N.” She twirls around a tree and when you chase after her, you find her standing at the edge of the hill looking off in the distance. “If you could take their place, would you?”
Your eyes snapped open, meeting Eddie’s worried look. 
“Are you alright? You were tossing and turning a lot.”
“Yeah, I’m fine. Is it normal for your summoners to have dreams?”
“What kind of dreams?”
You lay back against your pillow as you try to gather your thoughts. 
“Since I met you, I’ve been having dreams about Hawkins on fire.”
“I mean, yeah, I’m not surprised.”, Steve sighed.
“Sometimes…unique dreams come through though. One night I had a dream that you two died with me here in this house. I told you to go to Oblivion and you both refused with Eddie telling me that…he wasn’t going to lose another princess.” The demon’s fingers reached out to caress your cheek. “The morning my dad died, he talked to me and then disappeared somewhere with my mom. She told me to go easy on you because what was about to happen wasn’t your fault.
Steve blinks as he exhaled heavier this time. 
“Last night, I had a dream that I was trying to save you from your stone and this woman kept dancing around me, asking me questions.”
“Did you know her?”
“No, I don’t think so but she was gorgeous though. She had long brown hair and piercing brown eyes with caramel skin. She had on this pretty red silk, lace dress that was probably decades old.” Their eyes shot up to look at each other. “What?”
“Y/N, did she have any jewelry on?”
“Um, she was moving around a lot so I couldn’t see but she did have like a ring with a clear stone and some red in it, I think.”
Eddie gripped your cheeks a bit roughly and turned you to face him. 
“What did she say to you, Y/N? Did she ask you any questions or try to make a deal with you? THINK! We need to know?!”
“Why? Do you know her?”
Steve grabbed his friend’s wrist and motioned for him to release you. “No, baby.  We just… want to make sure it isn’t someone that can hurt you.”
Your gaze shifted between them both and you could tell they were both obviously upset about what you had seen. 
“Don’t do this again. Don’t hide something from me that could help.”
“It won’t help. Trust me. She can’t and won’t do anything.”
“So you do know her?” Neither of them answers and it infuriates you. “Fine. If you won’t tell me, I’ll find the answers myself.”
############
“What is this thing you’re using?”, Eddie asks with genuine curiosity.
“This is called a ‘microfiche’. It amplifies the tiny print on the paper.”
“Huh. Kind of seems like a waste of effort since you won’t find anything.” You and the demon beside you turn towards Steve as he sits behind you with his arms folded. 
Since they wouldn’t answer your questions, you went to the only place you could think of that may help, the library. You told the librarian what you were looking for and after glaring at you like you were insane, finally guided you to some newspapers and documents that may help. 
You were honestly surprised how enthralled Eddie was by what you were looking at. Maybe he thought you’d never find out anything about the stone so he wanted to learn what he could. As he sat beside you, he leaned his head on your shoulder while placing his palm on your knee. It was a comforting feeling; one you wanted to have for longer than the week timeframe you had left. 
“Oh shit. That’s Arthur.”
You paused the machine and made the image as big as you could. A man in his early twenties was being handcuffed and placed in a cop car. Steve suddenly appeared next to you as you read the information. 
Arthur Leeman (23), shown above, was arrested after being found near the body of rich aristocrat Michael Jameson (50) with a knife in his back. Jameson was found by his son Kevin Jameson (24) and swiftly notified the authorities. The young Jameson stated that Leeman was unhinged, claiming demons told him to kill the elder Jameson or the world would end.
“Fucking idiot.”, Eddie sighed. “We told him NOT to kill Michael because all fingers would point to him.”
“Plus, it wouldn’t help his situation. Kevin loved his dad even though he didn’t approve of his sexuality. But…Arthur was desperate.”
“Does it say what happened to him?”
You scanned the article until you found the answer. “He was found guilty and died in jail.” Glancing at their sad faces, you reached out caress them. “I’m sorry.”
They shrug and you continue your search. After about thirty minutes, you feel like you’ve hit a dead end until a drawing catches your attention. You recognize her from the memories they provided you and how she’s displayed in the image. Men are holding her arms behind her back as flames surround them. 
“Elizabeth.”
“Fuck me. They made her look like a crazy person.”
You point to the article underneath as you speak. “She did kill 20 people in the fire she started. It says they, um… they made an example of her by killing her in the town square.”
Steve growls as he stands and begins to pace. “She wasn’t crazy. She was a good woman before she met us. Before she found that fucking stone. Y/N, stop. Please. Don’t look for answers. Just…Just enjoy the time you have with us and let us fucking go.”
“I can’t.”, you whisper. “Even if I could, your summoners didn’t do research and their lives still got complicated. At least this way, I can find out if we have a chance.”
“Y/N.” You turn back towards Eddie, who had been absently flipping through the machine while you and Steve talked. “This thing says Lizzy’s belongings were given to her nephew. When her nephew was older, he struggled financially and sold her things to a museum.” He pointed to a photo of a group of people outside the building, posing for its grand opening. The person cutting the ribbon was Michael Jameson. “Arthur told us his boyfriend had given him the necklace as a present. He stole it from the box so I guess—”
“It was never documented as being sent there.”, you finished for him as you sat back down and searched through the paper. “The museum was closed in 1975 and was a vacant lot until…oh shit.”
“Until the mayor bought it and built the mall.”
Grabbing your bag, you quickly throw on your jacket and head to your next destination.
#############
“Hey honey. Haven’t seen you in a while.”, Paul grins from his spot at the security station. 
“Yeah, I’ve been taking some time off after my dad…”
“No, hey, I completely understand. He was a good man. I was glad to have known him. What are you doing down here today then?”
“Paul, that necklace you gave me…you said it was just outside of my stores cage?”
“Yes? I mean the box it was probably nestled in got knocked over but…”
“I read somewhere this mall was a museum for Hawkins before it closed down. Do you know what they did with the stuff inside it?”
“A lot of it was sold to other places. What they couldn’t sell I thought they junked.”
“Shit. Ok. Thank you.”
“Not a problem.” He glances at you worriedly as you turn to leave.
“Not that you asked but he IS a good soul. When they were in high school Paul Cassian and his girlfriend at the time found out they were having a baby. They decided adoption would be best since they were so young and couldn’t afford anything. Two years from now his son will reach out to meet him. Paul will find out he’s a grandpa and spoil his granddaughters rotten.”, Eddie grins.
Smiling up at him, he gives you a little wink as you enter the elevator to leave the basement. Something catches your eye and your hand shot out to stop the doors as you step out again. 
“Paul!” His footsteps bang against the floor as he comes skidding to your side. “No, I’m sorry if I scared you. Just…where was this picture taken?”
He follows your gaze to the image of the mayor outside with some construction men smoking a cigar with wide grins. Behind him was the tree from your dream.
“Um, behind the mall, I think.”
##############
Steve continues to stand there looking disgruntled as Eddie leans against the bark you were looking at. 
“I don’t get it. Why this tree? Why was she dancing? Why—”
“Why what?”, Steve asked. “What does it matter? She probably did it just to get your attention and it seems to have worked.”
“Why are you fighting me so hard on this?!”
“Because I know how this story ends, Y/N, and I refuse to feel hope where there is none.”
“How do you know there isn’t any?!”
“Y/N LET IT GO!”, he roared causing Eddie to rise to his feet but you didn’t move. You continued to glare at him as his eyes stared daggers into yours. 
“Oof someone’s angry.” Both demons abruptly came to attention as the woman from your dream appeared in front of you, winking as she walked by. “We weren’t formally introduced, Y/N. I’m Maeve.” She reaches out to shake your hand but Eddie quickly pulls it away and pushes you behind them. “Boys, now come on. If you can’t play nice and let me talk to the lady I’ll have to send you away for a bit.”
They both growl as she moves closer to the tree in front of her. “It’s been so long you both probably don’t remember meeting me here. I mean everything has changed!” Maeve playfully smiles as she sighs. 
“This is where you found them?”
“Technically, they found me.” She gestures towards the stone in your pocket. “It was so many years ago and the world was different then. It was much more…angry and violent.”
“Said the woman who owns a stone that requires someone to kill three people or their world ends.”
Maeve gives you a big, beautiful smile as she continues to absently move around you three. 
“I like her, boys. Honestly, I’m kind of impressed you actually followed your dreams; metaphorically of course. Usually when people call them, they don’t even care about what they see when they sleep.”
“So they are real?”
“When you meddle in the abstract, sweetheart, some things retain. It seems you have a gift. I bet you got that from your mother. She’s the one that got you into auras and stones, right?”
“Wait, does that mean they’re going to die? That the world will end?”
Her head tilts to the side at your questions. “Interesting. ‘Will they die.’ Not will I die. You really are selfless, aren’t you? Have you given any thought to what I asked you?”
“Yes.”
“Yes, what?”
“Yes, I would take their place.”
“Y/N, no! Don’t you say that. Do you hear me?” Their pleas flooded your ears as she continued to watch with a small smile. “You need to live your life. You deserve a good life, baby. We don’t. We’ve done enough fucked up shit.”
Maeve snapped her fingers and just like that they were gone.
***
“FUCK!”, Steve shouted as he continued to bang on the door of their home within the stone. “Come on, Edward! Get off your ass and fucking help me.”
Eddie sighed from his place on the arm rest of the couch as he shrugs. 
“What’s the point, Steven? It doesn’t matter. We can’t get out.”
“Are you fucking kidding me?! Of course it matters!  She WILL take that deal and she’ll be stuck in this hell forever! Fuck!” The demon stomped towards the corner his bat was in and tried to smash the windows to no avail. 
“You may as well just give up.”
“I can’t give up on her if I know I can save her! I have to try!” Steve froze mid-swing as he what he was saying finally sunk in. You had been saying the same things repeatedly but he ignored it feeling like it wouldn’t make a difference. Now he understood…
Eddie came over to wrap his arms around him before leaning back to cup his face in his hands. “Trust me, I get it. I don’t want to hope either because even just being here reminds me what we’d be coming back to but now it seems emptier without her. I know it’s going to fucking hurt when we leave but if this is what she needs then let her try. If she doesn’t, it’s just going to kill her. She’ll always blame herself… like I did with Chrissy.”
Steve kisses the demon’s lips as he tugs him back in his embrace before a wind blows and they appear again in your world. 
###############
“Y/N, are you ok?! What happened? Please tell us you didn’t take her deal.”
When they looked around Maeve was already gone and you had your arms folded starring out into the distance as you waited for them. 
“I’m alright. Come on. I have one more person I need to kill.”
Steve grabbed your arm as you turned to leave, your flat tone frightening them both. His voice shook as he took your face in his hands and searched your eyes for an answer.
“I-I— fuck—I can’t see what…what you did. Please, Y/N. Tell us you didn’t. Please…”
You softly smile as you lean up to kiss his lips before doing the same with Eddie. “Everything is going to be ok. I promise.”
***
“Hey, Y/N.”
“Detective Hopper. How can I help you?” 
He stepped away from his car outside your house as you headed for your front door. 
“I wanted to talk with you really quickly about some things, if that’s alright.”
“Of course, come in.”
The officer blinked as he apprehensively walked into your home. What he wasn’t able to see was your demons do the same. They had no idea what you were up to and it made them extremely nervous. 
“You’re not going to kill him right? Killing a detective isn’t exactly smart, princess.”
“So, how can I help?” You ignored him as you addressed the man who took a seat at your table. 
“Where were you a couple of nights ago around 9pm?”
“Um, I went to The Hideout for a date.”
“With a man named Noah Strong?”
“I believe so. I never got his last name. He asked me out on a date and then invited me back to his apartment. I left around…eleven or so. I wasn’t feeling so well. I’m still kind of shaky after my dad.” 
Hopper nods as you take a seat across from him. 
“You haven’t tried to call him or anything?”
“No, sir. We didn’t exactly click but what do I know. I haven’t been on a date in over a year so…” You force a giggle and he smiles. “If I may ask, why are you here? Is he alright?”
“Uh, no ma’am. Noah was found dead in his apartment. It was…it wasn’t pretty.”
“Oh my god. Oh my god! I…I didn’t notice anything odd or out of the ordinary. He did mention he worked with the mayor. Could that have anything to do with it?”
“Careful, Y/N.”, Steve warned.
“We are looking into that but I’m not too sure. We did have witnesses say they saw him with you at the bar so I just wanted to do my due diligence.”
“Oh, no worries. I completely understand. I wish I could be of more help.”
He nods again as he stands and places his hat back on his head. “Thank you for your candor. If you think of anything, you still have my card, right? The one I gave you after that first death.”
“There was another death?”
Your eyes meet before he scans you over. 
“Good catch, baby.”, Eddie smiles. 
“I didn’t tell you that the first time did I? Yeah, just…just continue to be careful and I’ll be in touch.”
After walking him out, you exhale heavily as you peek out the window and wait for him to leave.
“You handled yourself really well, honey.” Hastily, you turn away and head for your room to change your clothes. “What are you doing now?”
When you don’t respond, Eddie grabs your bicep and turns you around to face them. “Y/N, your acting odd and being cryptic. What’s going on? What happened with Maeve?”
“I can’t tell you.”
“Why?”
“Because I promised her I wouldn’t.”
“And? Who gives a fuck about her?!”
“You took her deal didn’t you?”, Steve grumbled. His fingers reached out to grip your cheeks, forcing you to look at him. “Tell us.”
“I can’t…because we both know you’ll try to intervene.”
Their eyes widen but Steve’s are the ones that glow before releasing you with a rough shove. “You stupid little girl. Do you have any idea what you’ve done?”
“I’m saving you.”
“We didn’t need nor ask you to save us. Now there’s no point in you killing your last person because I assure you, Y/N, if you get sucked into that stone instead of us when this is over we will burn this world and any other one we need to, to set you free.”
“I already lost one princess. I’m not losing another.”
At Eddie’s words, your eyes closed as a strangled cry left your throat and you fell to your knees.
Steve fell with you and collected you in his arms. “Please, Y/N. Talk to us.”
“Do you trust me?”, you whisper.
“I trust that you would do anything for us, baby girl, but we won’t allow you to take our place.”
Wiping your eyes, you pushed away from him and got to your feet. 
“Let’s go. I have a job to do.”
****
“Hello, sir.”
“Jesus Christ!”, the mayor jumps, placing his hand over his chest as he tries to catch his breath. “You, uh, scared the bajesus out of me, sweetheart. You can’t be doing that.”
“I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t mean to startle you.”, you grinned as you playfully twirled your index finger in your hair. “I just HAD to meet you. I’m such a huge fan of yours, Mr. Kline.”
“Oh, well aren’t you precious. Call me Larry, please.”
“Ok…Larry.”, you giggle as he seductively scans your body.
“This must be what hell is like for humans.”, Eddie growls. “You sound ridiculous by the way.”
They both stand on either side of you with their arms folded as they watch the display in front of them. 
“Maybe one day I can come work for you, Larry. I’m so good at taking care of people and doing what I’m told. You can tell me to do anything and I’d do it!” Stepping closer to him, you place your hand on the mayor’s chest. “Anything.”
“Well…I…um…how about this, honey? Why don’t you come with me to my house? It will just be us and you can tell me more about what your good at. Maybe give me a demonstration.”
His eyes glow with lust as you obnoxiously jump up and down and clap your hands. 
“Oh my god, I can’t wait!”
Your smile drops as you turn to head for your car so you can follow him in his. 
“You should have considered becoming an actress.”, Steve sasses. 
“Or a prostitute. Sounds like you’d be good at either or.”
“Don’t be jealous.”
After you climb into your car, they appear in your back seat. 
“Why would we be jealous of two-pump chump up there?”, Eddie gestures towards the mayor’s car as you begin to drive. “Maybe, you should fuck him. At least get a laugh or two before you’re sucked into your purgatory.”
“You know, I’m starting to think you two lied to me when you said the stone wasn’t a prison.”
“It will be for you because you will be by yourself. When we’re there, we have each other. What will you have?”
“The knowledge that you both are safe.”
As you stopped at a stop light, the interior of your car illuminated a bright red before a rough feeling palm reached out to lightly touch your forearm. 
“Honey, look at us.”, Steve cooed in his deep demon voice. 
When you did what he asked, they both couldn’t help but sigh when you didn’t flinch at their normal appearance. They were bearing it all to you for you to really see. When they were fighting, they had been moving around all over the place so you weren’t able to get a good look but now as their red eyes stared at you with empathy…you couldn’t ignore it. 
You weren’t afraid of them in this form anymore. To you, they were beautiful; perfect. 
“This is who we are, Y/N. We’re evil, murderous, violent demons. We don’t deserve the luxury of being safe or even happy. You on the other hand, have helped so many people.”
“Even a few who didn’t deserve it.”, Eddie chimed in.
“It’s time for you to live your life, baby. Not spend eternity trapped in your old one.”
The light changed to green and as the car began moving you tried to hide the tear that escaped from your eye.
 ###########
“Wow, Larry. Your house is beautiful!”, you obnoxiously exclaim as you pretend to be enthralled by the things around you. “Who is this? Your wife?”
The mayor saunters over and yanks the photo you were holding out of your hand, placing it back on the end table. 
“Yup but she’s out of town for the next few days. She’s always leaving me alone to fend myself.”, he pouts. “Would you like something to drink, Y/N?”
“Please.”
“I have some amazing wine here.”, he boasts as you follow him to the kitchen. “I save the expensive stuff for extremely special occasions and I think a special little girl like you deserves—”
Hitting him over the head with a nearby vase, he slumps heavily to the floor. Dragging him by his feet, you move him back to his living room, and begin tying him up with the rope you brought from the house.
“Wait, Y/N. Before you do this, please, tell us what you did with Maeve.”, Eddie pleaded. “If you didn’t make the deal then…then this is goodbye, princess.” 
Back in their human forms, he reaches out to caress your cheek. 
“If you did, then we aren’t letting you kill him.”
“I love you both so much. You changed my life and showed me things…you may think you don’t deserve happiness but if you could see things through my eyes…even just your memories… I did make a deal with her and I’m afraid you can’t stop me because he won’t let you. Will you, Henry?”
As soon as your eyes glance up, they follow your eyeline to see Henry slowly descend the stairs.
“Very good, Y/N. I’m not going to lie; this whole thing has been incredibly amusing to me. Watching you three run around as she tries to solve the riddle of your make shift hell. Seeing and listening to you pathetically beg her to stay.”, he chuckles. “Even I was riveted to see if she made that deal or not.”
“You can’t see it, Mr. I’m More Powerful?”, Steve spat.
“A ha, no, I can’t. While I AM strong, Maeve is way more powerful than I could dream.”
As he spoke, you had slowly shifted away from them towards the mayor and reached into your bag to grab the knife you had hidden there. 
“Now, I get to watch you both lose the girl you love WHILE she takes care of my kill for me.”  They both growl as Henry laughs. “What is that…two now Edward? May want to stop while you’re ahead.”
Eddie charges at him but the evil demon saw it coming, punching him so hard he flew into the adjacent wall. Steve came at him with his bat but he caught it mid swing allowing the nails to dig into his flesh as he pushed the demon back. 
 “Pathetic.”
“Hey Henry?” He turned to look at you just as you were throwing something his way that he promptly caught. “I said I made A deal. I didn’t tell you which one.”
Opening his hand, his eyes widened as he starred down at the stone that was now smeared with his blood.
“I guess they didn’t know but only demons can be placed into the stone to do the work Maeve needs done.”
“I think it’s commendable and beautiful you would switch places with them. I’ve watched them for years and never saw them connect to a summoner the way they did with you. To be fair, all the summoners were selfish.”, she rolled her eyes. “I’m afraid, my love, only another demon can take their place.”
“Then why did you show me that dream?”
“IIII didn’t show it to you. I just came through the door. I imagine your mother was trying to tell you something.” She smiles as she does a pirouette. “Maybe draw your eye to something? Something you missed.”
“Fuck me. Maeve what if I know another demon that you can have?”
Maeve blinks as she nods. “It will most likely be hard to get them. The only reason Edward and Steven were easy was because both their blood leaked on my stone. They had just escaped another sudden run in with people from their realm. Demons can heal pretty fast so you would have to time it perfectly.”
“I can do it.”
“If you don’t, they will get sucked in and the demon you are left with will most likely kill you.”
“I said…I can do it.”
She nodded in agreement as you turned to stare out into the Hawkins skyline. 
“I wouldn’t mention your plan by the way. They may try and stop you.”
With that she snapped her fingers and disappeared.
You sliced the mayor’s neck and he slumped to the side as he quickly bled out. 
“Now you’ll finally be in a cell, tortured forever for what you did to Chrissy and all the pain you caused!”
Henry’s eyes glowed as he ran towards you but as soon as he was inches away, Maeve appeared in between you two, stopping him in his tracks. Her eyes shifted towards the boys who were still on the ground watching everything with wide, confused eyes. 
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
Winking in your direction, white light abruptly blinds everyone as you hear Henry scream and her chuckles before both disappear. The sound of the gem hitting the floor startles everyone as you try to comprehend that you succeeded. 
“Edward? Steven?” You hurriedly run over to check on them. “Are you ok?!”
Eddie’s hands roughly reached up to grab your face. “That was so fucking stupid! I can’t believe… how did you…”
You own hand reached out to move his wild hair away from his eyes. “I told you. I had to try.”
His lips crashed to yours as he scoped you into his arms. 
“Steve, are you ok? We have to get out of here, NOW.”
The other demon ran over to grab the stone and made sure nothing else was left that would tie you to this murder before you three fled out the front door. 
***
As you stepped out of the shower, you were surprised they weren’t still in the bathroom waiting for you like they had done the previous times. You guessed since they weren’t technically tied to you anymore they were free to move about wherever they pleased which made you a little sad. You enjoyed having them so close. 
With a towel wrapped around your dripping frame, you found them sitting at your dinning table staring at the gem. 
“It, um, it changed.”, Steve murmured in your direction. “It says 001 on it. Maybe because Henry didn’t exactly have any weapons he used.”
“What should we do with it?”
“We can take it to another realm. A realm that is far enough away from this one he can’t come back to it and hurt you.”, Eddie sighs as he leans back in his chair. “I don’t think he can since he’ll be attached to the summoner but better safe than sorry.” His friend nods in agreement. 
“O-Okay. Um, how long would you be gone?”
“What do you mean, honey?”
“I just…I assumed that you two would want to travel alone for a while and this would be a good reason to. I can wait here or if I know how long I can come back…”
They were both staring at you now like you had gone crazy. 
“Y/N Y/L/N. You just risked your life to save us and gave us our freedom from a place we spent over 3,000 years alone in. What makes you think we would fucking leave you for one second?”
You grinned at them as Steve got up and walked over to you making it spread wider across your face. 
“What? No more poofing to places?”
“Poofing? That is the cutest fucking thing I’ve ever heard for us appearing somewhere.”
“Is there somewhere particular you wanted to poof to?”, Eddie asked when your face scrunched in thought.
“Can you still create an image from memory without us actually going there?”
“I think so. Where did you want to go, pretty girl?
“Take me home.” They both glanced at each other at your request and you immediately felt bad. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you sad or anything. I was just thinking…I could see where you come from…without it physically hurting and without you guys getting captured.”
Your arms wrapped around Steve as you pressed your head into his chest. The atmosphere shifted around you as the wind blew and you pulled back to not only find yourself dressed but in a room you didn’t recognize. 
“I lived in this room.”, Eddie sighed heavily as he looked around. “This is how I remember it the last time I saw it.”
It was a pretty bland room that reminded you a lot of the barracks you saw in the war movies you used to watch with your dad. 
“Was this where all the soldiers lived?”
“Yes, ma’am. I hated all the fucking white so I covered up what I could. I was able to keep and collect more guitars so…”, he gestured towards the wall. “I doodled on the rest. Steve’s dad fucking hated that but what could he say. I could keep up with his son so I got a bit more free reign.”
You laughed as Steve rolled his eyes and Eddie playfully shoved him. Your fingers grazed the literature he had on his shelves, your eyebrows furrowing in confusion when you tried to read the titles. 
“Ah. Um, our written language is a wee bit different from your own. This half here is stuff people had published, I guess you could say, and this half are things I wrote.”
“You wrote books?” He nodded. 
“Some of the kids liked when I told them stories so I wrote them down for them to enjoy.”
“And perform.”, Steve chuckled. 
“Yeah, yeah. We had fun.” Their eyes followed you as you moved towards his dresser. Beside it was a mannequin style rack that held his armor for when he was on the battlefield. It had some dings and scratches but all in all still intact. Noticing the pictures, you saw a couple of faces you recognized. 
“I saw this person is one of your pictures at the house in the stone.”
“My uncle. He took care of me the bulk of my childhood. After my mom died, he did what he could…even more so after my dad was captured and I took his place. I hope he’s doing alright.”
You reached to run your fingers along his cheek when you heard his tone change to a sadder one. He leaned passed you to grab the photo he had of Chrissy by his bed. 
“At least now I know what happened to her.” Wrapping your arms around him, you felt him put the picture down as he held you tighter to him. “The last thing your dad said to me, Y/N, was that it was ok for me to open my heart and that I wasn’t replacing her. I seriously never thought I’d fall in love again but I also didn’t expect you. Hell, I wasn’t even expecting Steve!”
Eddie smiled when he heard you giggle.
“I love you, sweetheart. Thank you for saving me.” Pushing up on your tip toes, you kiss him as he holds you to him. “Come on. Let’s see Steven’s obnoxiously clean and organized room.”
“Calm down, Ed.” The demon rolled his eyes as they opened the door and walked across the way. “My room was actually on the other side of the building near the kids but I thought this would be easier.”
“Why did they put you in charge of them?”, you asked as he opened the door. 
“Honestly, I think my dad assigned it to me as a punishment to humble me. My stats on the field were better than anyone else and he said that was why but… I ended up really enjoying it. They were all good kids.”
Eddie wasn’t far off in describing his friend’s space. It felt more or less barren with nothing seemingly out of place. In the corner, he had a desk with maps and notes written in that form you couldn’t read. 
“You see, Henry and his people were there…”, he pointed. “…and our people were over here. They used to sneak in over here so my father would have people stationed here. He always had me studying strategy.”
“I assume these books are about strategy and war to?”
“Uh, yeah, except…this one.” Steve yanked a book out and handed it to you. 
“Hey, I wrote that!”
“Yes, you did.”, he smiled. “It was about a warrior whose heart was broken after the girl he loved left him for someone else.” His smile faltered a bit as he took the book back and placed it on the shelf. “Eddie wrote me that right after the girl I fell in love with left me.”
“For the demon slayer?” He nodded at your question. “How does it end?”
“The warrior focuses on himself and his friends, the musical master, the sweet princess, and the strong but clumsy knight.” Steve reaches towards his nightstand shows you another picture you saw with him and another beautiful girl pointing their swords at the camera. “Robin. Fought a lot of battles together. I miss her.”
You circle him in your arms as he leans down to kiss your forehead. 
“I love you to, Y/N. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully thank you properly for what you did.”
A soft smile flickers across your lips as you look up at him with nothing but love.
“Yeah but…you can try.”
He laughs as he tilts your chin up so he can kiss you. As it steadily grows more passionate, you walk him backwards with the intention of pushing him onto the bed but you both are startled when he lands on your dinning room table. 
“Are you ok? What happened?”, you ask as your fingers run through his hair. 
“I, um, sorry. That was a harder memory to pull so it’s hard to maintain especially when you’re distracting me.”
“You say that like it’s a bad thing.”
Steve smiles as he lifts you up, spinning you around, and placing you down on the table as he continues to kiss you. This time instead of snapping away his clothes, he allowed you to remove them off his body as he did the same with you. 
“We have so much time now.”, he whispers as his hands roam your skin, down your back making your body tingle. “We can go as slow as we want to. Baby, you have no idea what you’re in for. Eddie and I spent hours even days exploring each other because we had all the fucking time in the world.”
As he spoke the other demon’s palms traced up his spine and around to his chest making Steve groan against your lips. 
“I wish you could touch me with your real hands.”, you murmured as your fingers clung to his neck.
“What if…what if I meet you halfway?”
You tilted your head, silently asking him what he meant and in response his mouth traveled down your neck to the valley of your chest to your breasts. A small, pleasure filled gasp left you as his tongue flicked along your nipple. It wasn’t his normal organ you come to know but his demon one that had your core clenching and your legs trying to pull his waist closer to yours. 
Your palms tangled in his hair as he alternated between them, wrapping his lips around the erect bud, and running is tongue along the sensitive skin that had you desperate beneath him. 
“Please, baby. I—fuck—I need…”
“What do you need, honey?”
“I need your face between my legs.”, you pleaded. 
Lifting you again, he carried you back into your bedroom and placed you on the mattress.
“Honestly, I’m loving the sounds you make when I play with your tits. Let’s let Eddie take care of your pussy. Trust me. He’s amazing with his tongue.”
The long-haired demon winked at you as he removed his shirt and climbed between you till you felt his breath hit your sex. Steve had undersold his friend’s ability because as soon as his long demon tongue licked between your folds, not only did you see stars but the whole goddamn universe. 
“Ed-Edward…oh…”
Steve’s palm roughly massaged one breast in his hand as mouth continued to slurp and lick the other. 
“It feels good, doesn’t it, baby?”
All you could do was nod while your eyes rolled back as Eddie flicked his tongue in and out of your entrance while his thumb massaged your clit. With hooded eyes, you watch the other demon rise and go behind his friend, grabbing his hips and yanking his ass in the air. 
“Keep your legs open, Y/N. Do you understand me?”
“Y-yes. Y-yes, I understand.”
Red light blinds your eyes as they change into their demon form. Steve takes hold of the demon in front of him, spitting into his hand before pumping his cock a few times and guiding himself into Eddie.
“F-fuck, Steven.”, he moaned as he began devouring you again. With Steve aggressively thrusting into him, he was now like a man possessed, his tongue reaching deeper inside of you and touching places you never thought possible. 
“Yes! Fuck…I’m…can-can I touch your hair?”
Focused on his task, Eddie didn’t answer but the other demon nodded as he heavily panted. When you fingers curled into his long locks between his horns, he hummed in ecstasy, the vibration being that last little push you needed as you came hard on his lips. 
Twitching beneath him, you felt the bed dip on either side as he carefully climbed as far up your body as you could. 
“Come…come here, princess. Careful.”, he warned as you slid lower underneath him till he was hovering above you. Craning your neck, your lips met his as they mingled together and he whimpered against them as he was nearing his climax. 
“You’re both so fucking beautiful like this. I love you. I know you feel like I saved you but…YOU saved ME.”
Eddie grunted loudly as he came, leaning back to passionately kiss Steve as he followed. They changed back into their human forms and fell onto the bed as they lifted you further up towards the pillows.
Steve wasn’t joking when he mentioned taking their time. Their hands and lips roamed every part of your body while one or both would stop to devour your cunt or thrust their fingers into your now dripping hole. Sometimes while they played with you they played with each other. 
While Steve was trying to make you cum his mouth for the fifth time Eddie deep throated him till he shuddered and spilled into his mouth. While Eddie was holding you to his chest, kissing and sucking on your neck, Steve was pumping his thick fingers into him as he nibbled on his shoulder. 
“Baby are you still here?”, Eddie chuckled as his lips ran along your jawline. 
“Y-Yeah. I…I here.”
“Hey, honey. Come on. You got one more in you. We haven’t even had our cocks inside of you yet.”
“Can’t…move…”
They smile as Steve grips you in his arms and rolls you on top of him. “Don’t worry, Y/N. We can take care of you.”
Your body suddenly came to life as you felt him guide himself into your core. Pressing your hands against his chest, you slowly grinded your hips against his making him groan. 
“Fuck baby girl. That’s it. See? We told you… you could do it.”
Eddie’s palm gently tilts your forward, teasing your ass with his tip before gradually pushing into you. Once again you were overwhelmed by the full feeling of them inside you at the same time, your mouth going slack with a silent moan as you tried to make any sound at all. 
“It-It’s ok, sweetheart. Let go and scream if you want to. Jesus… you earned it.”
“You’ve be quiet for too long, Y/N. Let go.”
They both thrust into you, matching each other’s pace as you threw your head back screamed so loud it probably woke your neighbors. 
“Fuck! Fuck, yes! You both feel so fucking good! Please…please make me cum.” They growled in pleasure as both sets of hands gripped your body and pumped into you roughly. “Fuck…I love you. I love you so much. Please, please, please…”
Your voice trailed off as you whimpered their proper names till your felt yourself quiver around them as the coil snapped and you collapsed on Steve’s chest.
“Good girl. That’s a fucking good girl. We’re going to fill you up, honey. Such a good girl.”
The demon’s arms held you tightly to him as he thrust his hips a few more times before you felt him warm your insides. Eddie soon followed, gripping your hair in his fist as he pounded into you till all of his release was inside you.
“P-Please…I can’t…I’m only human.”
They laugh at your joke as they carefully pull out of you before Eddie lifts you in his arms and carries you to the bathroom. As he starts to lean towards the shower to turn it on, you stop him. 
“Why don’t we take a bath?”
“I don’t see why not.”
“I don’t think we’ve ever taken a bath.”, Steve muses.
“Ever? Not even before showers were a thing?” After they both shake their heads, their eyes watch you with intense focus as you explain to them smells and how baths can help with certain things. This time you were the one to guide them in, smiling as they slowly sat down and you leaned against Eddie while wrapping your legs around Steve. 
Reaching for your wash rag, you handed it to him and showed him what you needed, wincing when he began cleaning between your legs. 
“Shit. I’m sorry. Am I doing this wrong?”
“No, no. I’m just sore.” Grinning, you watched him continue before finishing and leaning back to relax. 
“This is actually really nice.” Eddie sighs happily behind you. 
“I’m surprised you’ve never had one. Not even in your home?”
“No point. I mean we can snap ourselves clean.”
“I guess you didn’t notice when you where there that we didn’t have a bathroom.”, Steve smiles but it falters a bit when he sees your eyes get a bit glassy. “What are you thinking about, honey?”
“Just how glad I am that you’re still here.”
Eddie holds you tighter in his arms as the other demon caresses your cheek. 
After the water starts to get colder, you three get out and they help you dry off. As soon as you enter your bedroom, you feel the past couple of days hit you and you quickly crawl into bed with them following after. 
You feel them gently running their fingers along your face and down your arm as you fall asleep. 
“Nothing’s going to change.” Eddie states causing Steve to turn and look at him with confusion. “With us I mean. I can see it in your eyes, Steven. That worry. We already crossed that boundary and I care a lot about you…the same way I care about Y/N.”
“I thought maybe because we were free…we wouldn’t…need each other like that anymore.”
Eddie’s hand reaches over to grip the demon’s chin as he runs his thumb along his bottom lip. 
“I’m always going to need you. I love you to, Steven.”
He nods as he tenderly kisses the pad of his finger. “I love you to, Edward.”
***
“Oh. Hi there. I’m Detective Hopper.”  The officer scans Eddie up and down as he tries to get a read on him. 
“Hey there. I’m Eddie, Y/N’s friend.”
“Ah. Good, good. She needs some company after what happened. Is it just you or…?”
“Uh, me and our other friend Steve, sir. Would you like to meet him?”
“No, no reason to. I just came by to let Y/N know that it seems like Noah Strong’s death IS related to something having to do with the mayor so she doesn’t need to worry about something happening or anything like that.”
“Oh, don’t worry, Detective. Even if there was we’ll always keep her safe. Thank you for letting us know.”
The gentleman tips his hat before walking back to his car as Eddie closes the door. 
“Yeah, that will take some getting used to; being seen.”
“What did he say?”, Steve asked. 
“Y/N is in the clear more or less.”
“Yay.”, you grin as you come out from your bedroom with your suitcase. “It’s not going to look suspicious right? If we go on this vacation.”
“Who cares. If all else fails we can just run to another realm.”
“Eddie… Let’s keep that as a last resort.”, Steve sighs. “I’m kind of curious about this one and all the things we haven’t seen.”
“Well, where would you like to go first?”
“As long as we’re with you, princess, we’ll go anywhere.”

How they fell for MC: Part 3
Leviathan:
Our favorite otaku does not fall fast or easily. He’s naturally suspicious and distrusting of outsiders, even more so since his arrival in the Devildom. This normie human shows up and wants to tease their way in? No way.
The whole TSL debacle? That was negative points. If he hadn’t been stopped Lotan surely would have killed you. (Which he remembers with much regret) He’s our boy, but our boy has a temper inside that meek exterior.
When you apologized, and began to interact, he kept you at a distance, definitely watching for any signs of deception.
‘They’re cute’ he’d think and blush. ‘NONONO! Absolutely not! No normie stuff, besides, they’d be better off with someone, anyone else’
Ahh his sin. Taking all his skill, ability, and self-confidence and assurance, and stuffing it deep inside himself. All that was left on the surface was jealousy and envy. Most of the time, he only felt able to do everything through the screen of his computer. No normie human could understand how he feels.
Wait, you actually do like anime and games? Hold up, put up or shut up. He demands you prove this. Quizzing you constantly about various animes and games. You play MMORPG’s? Even better. You’re gonna be his raid partner now. To stop the constant quizzing to prove how much you actually know, you show him pictures of bookcase after bookcase lining your room in the human realm. Anime, manga, figures and games lined each one.
His eyes widened, finally believing you. He may have a good friend here. Anime nights are a constant whenever he can sneak you away.
Slowly with each visit, each round of game and anime nights, he found himself thinking more and more about his Henry. Wait… when did that become a simple fact that they were that important to them? He feels his face flush and admonish himself for thinking like a normie. Then envy takes over. He berates himself for even thinking someone like you could like or even lo-love him back? He’s not worth it… and besides, you had to hate him deep down for trying to kill you.
But you happily came over all the time… you smiled at him. Even caught you blushing at him once. He does this over and over. His adoration for you growing by the day, partially content to love you from afar as he finds himself unworthy, and his jealousy demanding action, unable to hold it all in.
You meanwhile made it obvious to everyone that you loved this glorious Otaku, this demon of envy. Finally you helped him along by kissing his cheek one night after months of build up getting him comfortable with sitting close, then sitting side by side, eventually over time into very innocent cuddles. Both of you blushing, but he looked like a tomato each time… but when you kissed him? He jumped and threw himself sideways, stammering and gesturing, even apologizing… you calm him down, and tell him you love him. He looked at you stunned for a moment, his face somehow getting redder. You wondered if he was going to reach purple when his protests began anew. His envy causing ever self doubt to gush forward, ever argument for why that couldn’t be true. How any of his brothers were a way better choice.
You put a finger to his lips, told him that you love alll of his brothers… but you love him, you have to tell him why. Otherwise he would never believe you no matter how many times you said it. You have to fight his envy and overpower it with truth.
When you finish, you lean forward and kiss his lips softly, and whisper ‘I love you’ again to him.
He stammers, then leaning forward he kisses you back, his lips tight and trembling. He can’t say the words back yet… not those specific words. So he says ‘me too’

The demon brothers with a main character (MC) with social anxiety
(bulleted headcanons on how each brother would react to an MC with social anxiety.) Gender neutral. MC is the reader. Slightly implied yandere (Belphie). Can be taken as platonic or romantic relationships.
Lucifer: 
•At first he assumed you were simply shaken up by suddenly being forced to adapt to life in a new realm.
•He knew humans were slow to adapt to new environments.
•The second one to notice there’s something… off about you.
•The way you froze up whenever anyone tried to talk to you.
•How you would always find a reason to quickly excuse yourself from any situation that required social interaction.
•He would go out of his way to help you with your schoolwork so you didn’t have to ask the instructors for help.
•He does everything he can to minimize the amount of interactions you have to have with others, but he’ll occasionally push you out of your comfort zone.
•He’ll be sure to reward you if you manage to successfully interact with one of your peers.
•He’s surprisingly soft with you, it’s probably because he thinks you’re extremely fragile. 
Mammon:
•He thought you were too enamored by his greatness to hold a proper conversation.
•The last to notice something is wrong with you. (Satan eventually points it out to him.)
•Mammon tries realllllyyy hard to look into this anxiety thing…
•Meaning he read half of an article and considered himself an expert on the matter.
•Will drag you to all kinds of parties to try and see if exposure can help ease your fear.
•He does all of the talking for you!
•He speaks up for you, advocating for you when you can’t find the courage to do so yourself.
•You’re his human, so it’s the least he can do…
•It’s not like he finds your shyness adorable!
•H-he doesn’t like you, not one bit!
Leviathan: 
•Knows almost immediately.
•He takes you under his wing.
•You share your little victories with each other.
•He thinks you’re just like one of his favorite anime characters.
•He feels like he can be brave when he’s near you, so expect him to hold your hand tightly when he’s advocating for you!
•You both support the other.
•He listens intently about all of your interests, they’ll soon become his own.
•He truly respects and admires you.
•Expect to become an anime fan of you aren’t already one…
•He understands your struggles, and willingly allows you to come to his sanctuary and unwind with Henry even if he’s not home. He trusts you that much.
Satan:
•Oh, he’s going to enjoy this.
•”What’s wrong, MC, cat got your tongue?”
•He eventually realizes your problem is a bit more severe than he was expecting.
•…You weren’t just shy, you must have a serious case of social anxiety.
•He will be a shoulder to lean on, but be warned, he will push you out of your comfort zone much more often compared to Lucifer.
•He celebrates the small victories.
•He finds you adorable, perhaps even comparing you to a cat.
•He does his best to control his temper around you.
•He would never forgive himself if he scared you away…
•Tell him if someone is bullying you. He can make sure this person doesn’t bother you again.
•Like Lucifer, he will help you with your studies.
•He leaves little notes of encouragement in your room, they always make you smile after a particularly rough day.
‘You’re doing great, MC.
I truly believe you’ve been making progress.
Oh, today I saw a cute pair of cat socks and they reminded me of you.
Check under the bed.’
•That day you found a pair of fuzzy cat socks under your bed.
Asmodeus: 
•”I know I take your breath away, but please talk to me…”
•”Ugh! You’re such a tease, you’re driving me crazy!”
•”I give you permission to speak to the most gorgeous demon in hell, me!”
•He is the second to last to realize something is wrong.
•First he thinks you’re intimidated by his beauty. (How could anybody not be~?)
•Next he assumes you’re barely talking to him just to be annoying.
•When realization hits, he feels absolutely ashamed of himself.
•He makes up for being so ignorant by doting over you.
•He… eventually realizes you don’t exactly like all of the extra attention…
•Like Mammon, he drags you to different clubs and parties to try and help expose you to social interaction.
•He introduces you to some friends of his that also struggle with anxiety. (Leviathan is one of them.)
•He’s the king of hyping you up, he compliments you constantly.
•”You ARE enough! Everyone will love you, and if they don’t… well, you have the most stunning demon in the Devildom by your side~!”
Beelzebub:
•He isn’t quick to catch on, only because he doesn’t really worry about what you act like. 
•He doesn’t let the fact you have social anxiety change his opinion about you.
•He’s not big on talking either, so you both find it easy to hang out together.
•He knows when you’re having a rough day. Expect a surprise hug if you’re having a rough day.
•He’ll take you out to eat if you’ve been making progress working on your anxiety, when you ask him why he sometimes takes you out to eat he smiles softly and shrugs.
•He never admits to knowing about your social anxiety, and he never brings up your social skills. 
•He’ll give you tickets to his sports match, knowing it’s a good chance for you to practice socializing.
•He’s always down for holding your hand or cuddling you if you ask.
•He doesn’t expect anything in return for subtly helping you, he just wants to see you happy.
•He will stand behind you like a bodyguard when he notices anyone picking on you. 
Belphegor (No attic in this case for convenience purposes):
•He teases you, borderline bullying you for being shy.
•When he realizes you actually have major social anxiety he doesn’t treat you any better, if anything the harassment becomes more frequent.
•You’re too scared to tell anybody about what Belphegor is doing to you. 
•One day a lower demon is bullying you for being unable to hold a proper conversation with him.
•He makes sure the lower demon knows that you’re his human, it’s his job to make your life hell. If anybody dares try to bully you they will face the consequences.
•Belphegor eventually decides to just walk you to school, escort you between classes, sit next to you at lunch, walk you back home, and even join all of the clubs you’re in- it’s easiest to make sure nobody is bothering you if he becomes your living shadow.
•Sometimes you swear you can see him smiling at you…
•He likes to nap beside you.
•He could never like a human.
•He’s just keeping you to himself so he has more time to harass you, right…?

Thank you so much for reading these headcanons!
I apologize for any spelling or grammatical errors, I’m the kind of person that jots things down quickly. That does mean that I rarely bother to check for mistakes.
I would love to hear some requests 💕 Feel free to leave random Obey Me thoughts in my requests too, I’ll share my personal thoughts on them!

Cutting you off pt3
Leviathan
Light angst/ fluff. Good ending !! GN reader
I had to change colors to avoid confusion lol
Levi was a jealous person. It didn’t took you long to notice that. I mean, he was literally envy incarnated and he did showed that pretty well.
Despite of that and the disastrous way you guys met, you did ended up having a good relationship with him. There were anime nights every week and at least one day you would dedicate to gaming with him.
At least there were when he actually approved your presence in his room
And it wasn’t even the fact that you were human, but he still hold a grudge at you for being a normie.
*And don’t get him wrong, he knows you watch animes and have enjoyed a manga or two and let’s not talk about you video games experience, but you’re still too normie for him.
And that’s way most of the time when you asked him to do anything together, he would take a long time before accepting, because he just couldn’t believe a normies like you would want to do activities with him.
Please! A normie like you asking him to see a new anime together? You’re probably joking.
You? Asking him how Henry 2.0 was doing? You were probably doing it to make fun of him!
But you still found patience to actually convince him that you just wanted to spend time with him and that it wasn’t a tactic to mock him later
Up until one disastrous day where everything went wrong
You couldn’t concentrate in class, you had a pop quiz and you had a ton of homework.
You were just praying for the day to be over so you could finally relax and spend time with Levi like you had planned two days ago, the new season of an anime you both liked was airing that day, and you were going to celebrate it by spending the day together.
After leaving school, you practically ran all the way from RAD to HoL, only stopping once you were in front of Levi's door answering his password to get there and finally relax.
“Hey Levi! Where were you after class? I had to drag Mammon all the way home because I couldn’t find you.”
He didn’t actually answered, but since he was looking at cd's you supposed he was too concentrated to actually answer you.
“You choosing what to watch? That’s wise, the new chapter won’t drop for another three hours”
“Levi?¨ Still nothing.
“You can just drop it, you know?”
“What?”
“I-I said you can drop it! The act!”
It was your time to be in silence. He turned around to look at you.
“Don’t act dumb! You know what I’m talking about!”
“I really don’t Levi. Please explain it to me”
He inhaled a little bit frustrated. “The act where you come in here pretending to be interested in my and my hobbies, wanting to watch an anime with me that you probably don’t even like!”
“Oh my… really? This again? It’s getting ridiculous, Levi.”
Levi dropped the cd's in his hands, position both arms at his side while walking towards you.
“You’re the one who’s acting ridiculous! Why pretend you like me?”
“I’m not pretending! I thought by now you would’ve realized I like spending time with you.” You explained, a little bit desperate this time.
“I know your type M-MC! Just pretending you’re interested, but you’re just passing the time cause I’m the only one who’s available right now!”
“Levi, what the fuck?” You frowned while painting your gaze locked with his. “I think I better leave”
“Yeah, there’s probably another demon you can throw yourself at by now”
You bit your tong to avoid answering. Levi often got into these moods and arguing with him was like yelling at a wall.
“You know what? Forget it, think whatever you want to think.” You opened the door and muttered an “asshole” before closing it behind you.
Levi knew it, he knew he was acting like an asshole and that it technically wasn’t your fault, but he had spent the whole day at RAD watching you pass the time with everybody else. Reading at the library with Satan, eating lunch with the twins, passing notes with Mammon during class and even walking through the halls with the angels. And please don’t even get him started on how you hugged Solomon during the morning after he gave you human realm chocolate he had retrieved for you!
Even though he knew he was in the wrong he couldn’t stop himself from thinking that MC was going to come to him and apologize at any moment. That’s how it worked before and he was almost sure that’s the way it was going to work now too.
Still, as time went by he was getting worried he had now scared you off for good.
It’s not like it was just an idea in his head, you were actively avoiding him now.
You stayed behind to watch Beer practice instead of meeting him after school to watch anime together, you had ramen dates with Mammon and even started watching movies with Satan! He didn’t bothered to pretend he thought they were lame normie movies, he still wanted you to watch them with him!
His breaking point came when he heard you laughing while playing video games with mammon and beel in the living room.
¨That’s enough! Stop it!¨ he sprinted to unplug the console before any of his brothers could stop him. Everyone stopped abruptly, not even having time to complain before Leviathan started yelling again. ¨I knew it wasn’t gonna be hard for you to replace me but this is enough!¨
You just watched him a little bit concerned, the brothers looked at each other a little bit confused by the sudden appearance of Levi’s temper tantrum and apparently not realizing it was directed to you.
“Man I swear Levi keeps gettin’ weirder by the day” Mammon whispered and frowned while he sunk by your side.
That same night, when you were in your room getting ready for bed you heard three little knocks in your door. You were pretty sure it had to be Mammon who was probably coming to spend time with you before falling asleep, a little ¨Come in¨ escaped your mouth almost in automatic.
“Hi” you lifted your head and observed Levi there, opening the door just enough so you could see his face. You kept quiet, and Leviathan took that as a sign to continue talking before his little window of bravery closed. “I-I wanted to say I’m sorry. About the game… and yelling at you… and, well, e-everything.”
You stood up from your seat at your bed and went started walking to the door without taking your eyes from him. Levi felt nervous and started playing with your doorknob while his gaze looked down.
“I-I know it was wrong, but I guess I was just… jealous. N-Not that it’s an excuse! I know you were just being your usual normie charming self. Just… sometimes it’s hard seeing you being so close with everybody, b-because I know they’re cooler than me, and that after spending enough time with them you’ll stop coming. Nobody would want to spend time with a yucky- eek!”
You interrupted him with a hug that caught him off guard. “Shut up”, you fix your posture so you could look at him without breaking the hug. “Levi I love spending time with you, and nothing will change that. C’mon, you know it.”
“B-But… I mean, you spent this last days just with my brothers and you looked just fine.” Levi spoke through scarlet cheeks and a little stutter. You gave him a sad smile.
“I mean… yeah, but they were just helping me pass the time. Don’t get me wrong I love them, but it just felt weird not spending every free time I had with you. They tried to help me take my mind off of our argument but it just wasn’t the same.” You finally broke the hug and looked at him while you tilted your head. “I missed you, Levi, but this can’t happen again, next time you’re feeling like this please just talk to me.”
“I’ll try to be better, I promise” You nodded and walked inside your room again. Levi stood there, a little awkward and unsure of what to do.
“Aren’t you coming in? We have a lot of catching up to do on a lot of Animes”
His face lightened up while he run to your bed. You were right, how could he doubt you?
Omg I’m so sorry It took me so long to finally post but work is literally killing me. Why can’t they just leave me be the silly little sheep writer I am 😩
Hope you like it guys! -B

A feast for a Demon
Tumblr media
Summary: You know people dying in their sleep. What if you almost dying in your sleep because the demon next to you is unconsciously eating your soul while you two are asleep.
Inspired by @the-ghost-of-panda Vampire AU and the masked event
Warning: Implied killing, Soul devouring, and Immoral action
Tumblr media
Lucifer
He notice something was off with your heart beat.
Lucifer can barely hear your heart beat. He turns to you and notice how pale you are.
He quickly sat up and shake you awake but all you responds was whimper.
Lucifer looks over your body and there he saw your soul gotten smaller. That's when he realize that he may have unconsciously feed off your soul through skin touch.
Usually he has better control over that whenever you two are holding each other and others.
He kick himself internally for being careless for letting this happen.
Lucifer had no choice but to open up a rift to his circle of hell.
He enters it and left it open as he looks and saw a couple of souls close to each other. He cast a power void to draw in the souls close to him.
Once their close enough he draw them into his room and he enters.
Once he has a souls in his room, Lucifer lay you down on your back and place the soul over your chest and with few demonic chanting. The soul scream as it enters your body.
However it wasn't enough, your soul isn't as bright as before.
He has to make everything right what it uses to be.
So he walk back and caught a couple more souls. souls after souls until on the tenth soul, he sees that your soul is back to its normal flare and shine.
Lucifer waited and watch as the color of your skin returns and your heart beat return to normal.
He sighs and pull you into his arm and hold you close to him as he whisper an apology into your ear before kissing you forehead.
Mammon
Mammon didn't realize had he had done.
He woke before you which out of the ordinary but shrugs it off.
He gets out of bed and head to the bathroom and did his daily routine.
When he came out of the bathroom, he notice that you had move from your spot.
He sigh and walks over to your side of the bed. He gave your shoulder a slight shake, but you didn't responds at all.
He pulls back the blanket and immediately his whole body run cold when he saw your soul was barely lit.
He scream your name and quickly grab your by your arms and start shaking you franticly.
But your head limp to the side. He scream for help and that's when Lucifer and Levi rushes into his room.
Lucifer quickly took you into his arms and carry you out while Levi stood next to Mammon then both he and his brother followed Lucifer.
After finding out that the reason your soul is so weak is because Mammon unconsciously fed off it.
Feeling guilty for what he has done. He begs for Lucifer to help him. his brother agrees and two of them head to Mammon's circle of hell.
Lucifer told him that he has to be the one to catch and bring back the soul. Mammon agree and went off with Lucifer standing by the gates waiting.
Mammon return with five bright souls in his hands and the two return to the house.
Lucifer told Mammon that he has to do the ritual himself since he did this to you. Lucifer would do this himself since he won't let anything happens to you. But he has to teach Mammon that his action has consequences.
Luckily Mammon perform the ritual perfectly, most likely due to having your life on the line.
Lucifer left the room with Levi and look over his shoulder to see Mammon seating by the bed with your hand in his with his head laying next to yours.
Leviathan
Knew something was off with you but thought that you might be tired from the late night gaming you did.
He carefully crawl out of his tub just to make sure that he didn't accidentally wake you up.
He pulls up the blanket up to your chin, and head to the aquarium to feed Henry.
Then he head to his computer and start doing his morning browsing through his socials. With every so often he peek over his shoulder to see if your up. Each time his concern grow when he notice that you have move at all with barely seeing you breathing.
After couple of minutes he decide to get up from his chair and walk over to the tub.
He call out your name, and when you didn't respond. He reach down and cup your face. He immediately gasps when he felt your skin run cold.
He quickly grab and pull the blanket away and there he look in close and saw your soul is fading.
He slap a hand over his mouth and realize that he could be that cause of this.
Scared, he quickly ran out of his room and into Satan. He burst in and cry for help. Satan listen and suggest that he need to replenish your soul with another.
Levi ask how. Satan told him that he could go to his circle and grab a couple since your soul is different from the usual soul that could be there.
After that, Levi head out to his circle while Satan stayed behind to look after you.
When Levi returns he was carrying ten to twenty souls with him.
Satan perform the ritual while Levi assist by handing Satan the soul. On the ninth soul, Satan stop and tells Levi that you soul is back to normal.
Now the question is what to do with the reminding souls.
Levi didn't have to think hard and just carry the remind souls to the twin's room and gave them to Beel who happily accepts and start feasting on the souls.
Levi return to you and lay down next to you and bury his face into your shoulder happy that your still alive.
Satan
He notice right away.
He had you laying on his chest, when he notice that your skin is colder.
He open fling his eyes open and looks down to see that your barely breathing.
He quickly set you down on his bed and exam your whole body for anything that my result from an affect of a hex or curse.
However it wasn't because of anything magic related. But his own demonic side fed on your soul while you two were sleeping.
He curse under his breath and realize that he has to replenish your soul with another, and maybe more.
Mammon burst into Satan's room yelling that breakfast is ready. He immediately flinch when Satan shot him with a wrath full glare. He order Mammon to stay with you while he leaves and he to his circle.
Satan didn't take long. Rather grabbing few bright souls, he prefer grabbing as much souls he can grab in a close range.
He end up grabbing twenty souls.
He return with Asmo and Belphie seeing him carrying souls into his room and follow behind in secret.
Hearing Mammon yelling at Satan from outside of the room. Both brothers are worried.
Meanwhile, Satan ignores Mammon yelling as he put all his focus on the chanting as one by one he place a soul over your chest, let them scream in pain as they enter your body.
on the sixteenth soul, Satan stop and shove the reminding souls to Mammon and kick him out before slamming the door shut.
Satan ignores his brothers calling out to him from out in the hall and sat on the edge of the bed, look over you one more time before laying down next to you. Hoping that you don't remember anything about this whole thing and felt this was horrible fever dream.
Asmodeus
He didn't know right away.
Asmo got up and turn to you and kiss the crown of your head before getting up and did his regular beauty routine.
When he was filling up his tub for your shared bath. He head back to bed and gave you a gentle shake on your shoulder.
But his cheerful smile slowly drops when you didn't responded. He kneel by your side of the bed with his face looking at yours.
He calls your name and gave your face a gentle slap and realize that your not waking up. In a panic he pull you out of the cover and into his lap, He set his ear by your chest and gasp when he hears your heart is beating slowly then normal.
He gently set you back in the bed and quickly rushes out of the room and in the twin's room. There he spots Beel doing his morning pushes up and begs him to help him.
When Beel realize it has something to do with you. He agrees and left the house with Asmo.
Out in the town, Asmo looks and spots four witches. He puts on his classic charming smile and walks over them with Beel going around from behind.
Asmo approach and in an instead he immediately put them all under his charm. Then he lead them to an alleyway where Beel is waiting.
They both return to the house carrying four souls with them.
Asmo let Beel enter his room first before walking in and closing and locking the door behind him.
Asmo knew that fresh souls are better then getting souls from his circle. Plus it would have taken forever for him since his not as good as catching souls.
He carefully chant a demonic ritual and Beel carefully set each soul on your chest waiting on each one to enter your body.
Luckily your soul needed only three.
As thanks, As gave the last soul to Beel and tell him not to mention this to the others. He agrees and devours the soul before leaving Asmo's room.
Asmo sighs and quickly remember that he forgot that he left the water running. He gave you a quick kiss on head before running back into his bathroom. Acting as if what just happened an hour ago didn't happened at all.
Beelzebub
He didn't notice until someone pointed it out.
Beel woke before you for his early workout. He slide out of your bed, got up and head to the kitchen.
It was Levi who enter your room to see if your wake so he can show you his new game he just got from the mail.
Levi's scream cause Beel to stop what he was doing and ran straight where Levi was which was your room.
Levi is cradling you in his arms while on the floor crying out that your dying.
Beel looks down at you two and with closer look he notice your soul isn't as bright as before. Then it hit him, his worse fear came to life. He accidentally ate a piece of your soul.
He gritted his teeth before marching out of the room as Levi cries out where is he going.
Beel didn't waste time and head straight to his circle of hell. Where he swiftly shift to his demon form. Looking a path where there are more soul in one path.
He quickly flies back and catch all the souls in that path. He quickly flew out of his circle and head straight back to the house. He didn't came in by the front door instead through your window scaring Levi.
He ask Levi to preform the ritual that will replenish your souls with the souls he got. Levi seeing how serious Beel looks he agrees and start the ritual with Beel handing him soul each time one enters your body.
Once its all done. Levi sighs and lean against your bed while Beel sat next to him. Both look at your sleeping form and happy to see your breathing normally and your soul is shining brightly.
Beel just realize that he still have a couple of souls in his hand and seeing the hassle of taking them back. He decide to devour them instead. As he chewing through one soul. He hands Levi one.
Levi hesitant at first before accepting Beel's offer and the two start eating while keeping an eye on you.
Belphegor
Notice when he saw you as he woke up.
As he slowly wakes up, Belphie notice right away that something is off with you.
He open his eyes to see you barely holding on his chest as you snuggled right into his side.
He calls out your name, but you didn't responded.
He quickly sat up and shake you a good shake, and he felt your skin cold to the touch.
In a panic, Belphie quickly grab his D.D.D and call the first person in his contact, and that was Asmo.
Asmo quickly rushes into the attic and saw Belphie holding you close to his chest as silent tears fall from his eyes.
This feeling of holding your nearly cold body reminds him too much of the time he killed you. He can't help to feeling dread.
Asmo examine and notice that your soul is weak and that is cause by being feed on. When Belphie heard that from Asmo.
He begs him to help him. Asmo agrees but they need to get some souls to replenish yours and tells him that they move quick.
Belphie brough up the problem that his circle is too far and both of them aren't necessarily best at catching souls that are wondering in their circles.
That's when Asmo suggest on humans in devildom. Belphie argues that aren't humans in devildom and the only humans are you and Solomon. That when Asmo mention witches.
Belphie was shock, but quickly ask Asmo to stay with you as he head out. Asmo knew what Belphie is planning and nod.
Belphie left and after an hour returns in his demon form with six shining souls in his arms as Asmo notice blood cover half of Belphie.
Belphie hand the souls to Asmo as he kneel beside you.
With his knowledge of demonic arts, Belphie was better to do the ritual then Asmo. He did the chanting perfectly as Asmo set each soul one at a one on your chest.
With fresh souls and Belphie perfect performance. It only took two souls to bring your soul back to normal.
Asmo pat Belphie on the back and hands him a soul. While he start devouring one for himself.
Belphie took it and start devouring it and remember how he loves eating souls. But he always have this rule that you are the exception. That he will never let this happened again.
Note:
Aren't I evil 😈
I would've titled this as "The disadvantage of dating a demon lord" But... As I was typing this down, it became more... dark and I have may written Asmo's part too dark? I guess And since it is canon that they eat souls and I love the idea of "If vampires feast on blood of humans, why not have demons feast on human souls but via removing the soul or skin on skin contact" unconsciously while you and one of the demon characters sharing/sleeping in one bed.
If you notice that Lucifer's is shorter then the rest is because I got into writing for the other brothers hence having Lucifer's part with him doing it solo.
I was planning Mammon's part like Asmo and Belphie and that he was going to kill a witch and take their soul to replenish yours. But decided against it.
Also, the method, was inspired how in Princess Resurrection replenish the soul of the Main male (Hiro Hiyorimi) lead of that anime. (I love Liza Wildman!)
If there’s grammar or spelling error, please let me know and don’t be shy to leave a comment or reblogging with cute tags. I just love to see you guys thoughts on this :3

Come with me, and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination
Synopsis: y/n used to reside within Hawkins lab, until the massacre… she was the one whom watched eleven send Henry into the upside down but she is constantly tormented by her demons… the ones inside her head… how could she betray Henry like that? Well the reader comes across a very familiar person… but he isn’t all that he seems. (A very horror-y aspect to it all)
Trigger warnings: attempted killing, gore, blood, violence, psychotic 001, psychotic vecna, food talk, death, all that stuff. If you’re sensitive to this then please read at your own discretion.
A/N: Yes I’m obsessed with this man but… how can I not be? I mean cmon look at him😩🫶🏻 and yes I’d also join him… I in fact volunteer as tribute.
The lab was always a nightmare. In the past, present and future. It would always haunt you. It was the type of memory that was certain to leave a bad taste in your mouth. It was awful to say the least. But it wasn’t just that… no… it was more than that. It was Henry- you remember the day like it was yesterday,
Your body stood rigid eyes full of fear as you watched how el threw him against the wall, the edges of the wall beginning to crack and fly off like dust as Henry’s body began to melt into the wall… melting like he wasn’t a human. Melting in such a terrifying inhuman way. You wanted to help but you couldn’t, he had killed your and elevens friends. Even if those friends did bully you relentlessly it didn’t give him any rights to hurt them. They were just children. The way Henry screamed in pain begging for your help looking you dead in the eye as he begged for you to do something… but you didn’t. You just stood there hands by your sides, clenched into fists as you breathed heavily. The wall sucked him in as he flew out of sight, his screams being heard for the next few seconds until the wall quite literally sealed shut as if nothing had happened “we’ve got to go, come on,” eleven spoke grabbing your wrist as she pulled you towards the door “we need to find safety. Come on. We aren’t welcome here anymore, the bad men are after us. Come on y/n.” Her voice desperate, and you simply went along with it… head empty… brain thoughtless… your body going into autopilot. You had really just betrayed the man who helped you with everything. You felt guilty as anything but knew it was for the best, right?
-a few years later-
“You’re such a dingus oh my god!” Robin burst out laughing as she shoved Steve who was shoving as much banana into his mouth as he possibly could, you watched on slightly disgusted.“Cmonitsaworldrecordformostbananainthemouthright?” Steve spoke in such a way no one understood him. You groaned out rolling your eyes “that’s so gross Steve! Eat with your mouth closed!” You almost begged making him roll his eyes at you but he listened silently eating the rest of the banana which was all mushed up in his mouth, and once the banana was all gone he looked at both you and Robin “tough crowd huh?” He asked purposely opening another banana much to robins disgust, watching as Steve took another huge bite of the banana smiling widely at both you and Robin to try and torment you and you grimaced “no, you’re just disgusting..” robin continued as she and Steve continued bickering about whether scoffing a banana down was gross or not “at least I didn’t swallow it whole! Would you of rather me deep throat it-“ “what the fuck Steve that’s rancid!” Their argument went on back and forth but you weren’t focusing eyes locked onto the fact that there was a figure standing in the doorway your eyes squinting trying to figure out who was there “I’ll be back in a second guys,” you spoke standing up not even being acknowledged by the arguing teens…
You walked out into the hallway but no one was there, your brows furrowed as you gulped slightly. Weird things always happened in Hawkins but especially since two weeks ago… you started having more frequent dreams about the lab. About the horror that consumed your every day life in the lab it simply just wouldn’t go away. “Dustin?” You asked nervously eyes flicking back and forth “I swear to god if you and your dumb friends are playing a prank on me I will not be happy…” your voice unbeknownst to you had gone from being shaky to being echo-y as if you were in a endless tunnel. “Dustin stop this right now! I swear to god if you and your silly friends don’t come out right now I-“
click click click click tick tock tick tock tick tock
Your breath hitched a chime soon following the ticking and you soon found that there was cobwebs everywhere, dust as well, there was absolutely no human touch to it anymore as if no one had been here in decades. You spun around looking around for somewhere to run, but everywhere was boarded up… what the fuck? You quickly darted towards the front door as you heard the chimes getting closer and closer to you. You began pulling and yanking at the handle of the door not stopping until you had quite literally fallen over from pulling so hard, pulling the door handle off as well “classic! What the actual fuck” you spat out quickly forcing yourself to stand before you looked back towards the door… or well… where the door was. There was no door there anymore there was only vines that caressed the edges of the door as if waiting for an unsuspecting victim to cross its path, you let out a shaky breath unsure on what to do exactly before a sudden scream grabbed your attention,
“Y/n!!! Please! Please! Help me! I-I’m stuck! I cant get out! Y/n!!” The voice was scarily close to Eddie’s and you immediately without even thinking about it sprinted out of the front door, running to where the voice was coming from but the closer you got the further away it became his screams only growing louder and louder, screaming your name for mercy as tears stung your vision and you weren’t quite sure whether it was because of the fear you felt or the wind piercing your vision but before you could think much more of that your body collided against another body, your body collapsing onto the ground as you panted “Eddie?” You squinted looking up “ouch, why wouldn’t you recognise me?” A different voice spoke the screams stopping “look who decided to finally join me,” his voice was soft and gentle a sincere smile on his lips “someones a sleepy head this morning,” it was as if he was reciting a script to torment you… his body still clothed in that white sterile outfit,
He then held his hand out for you to take his skin still soft looking, yet little almost invisible markings were on his skin… as if his skin wasn’t his but instead of recognising the red flags in this whole entire situation to carefully reached your hand out grabbing a hold of his as he pulled you up gently his blue eyes full of trauma and sadness before he slowly let go of your hand, a stray tear had trailed down your cheek and he was quick to capture it with the pad of his thumb turning his hand to face himself as he stared at the clear liquid staining his thumb “why do you cry?” He asked and you stared in silence “why don’t I cry?” You responded rhetorically making him tilt his head to the side as if questioning you before he dropped his hand back down by his side “there’s no need to cry… I’m the same person as I was…” he soothed but there was an undertone to his voice that told you, you couldn’t trust him. He then looked back into your eyes “the offer still stands.” He spoke, slender fingers reaching forward to gently caress against your cheek “join me,”
He spoke so softly so sincerely it was almost hard to not say yes to him but you knew… he had changed in ways that you didn’t want to experience. The chimes were still in the distance and you knew that most definitely was a pawn in his game. Just like you… you were nothing but a pawn in this fantasy of his. His eyes searched yours and yours did the exact same thing back to him before you shook your head “this shouldn’t be real life… it isn’t real life. You’re fake, Henry. Stop trying to get in my head.” You demanded making him pull back a frown forming on his face “I don’t understand why you would say such a thing. This is real life. Or maybe you’re fake. Who’s to say you aren’t dead.” He almost threatened you, gaslighting you in the most ridiculous way. You stared silently staring at him before letting out a soft laugh… “I love when you laugh” he spoke making your smile disappear in an instant. “This is real life, yes, but you… YOU. You aren’t real.” You spat out and just as Henry was about to twist those words on you again you cut him off “and I am real, one, realer than you… because if I was fake… then would I be able to do this?” And in one quick movement you threw your hand forward attempting to throw him but his large hand wrapped around your wrist turning your wrist in such a way that it caused you so much agony, your lips parting, shuttered breaths leaving your lips as you tried to pull away from him “ah, ah, ah… I wouldn’t try that if I were you.” His slender fingers curled further around your wrist tightening in such a painful way that your knees buckled beneath you as you began to kneel in agony until your knees touched the ground and he let go of your wrist
“I don’t want to hurt you,”
He shook his head along with his words before exhaling softly “but if I have to, I have to… okay?” His eyes remained on you but you didn’t respond watching how he tilted his head to the side staring at you “I’ll give you one last chance, y/n, join me.” He spoke as he crossed his arms over his chest, you breathed heavily cradling your wrist like a baby as you began automatically shaking your head but you feared what he would do to you if you didn’t and so your shaking head soon turned to nodding the smile that appeared on Henry’s lips being unrecognisable “that’s what I like to hear” he then slowly walked towards you as he helped you stand carefully “I just wanted to rule the world with you y/n, yet you and Eleven had to ruin it. Didn’t you?” He whispered gazing into your eyes, tears forming in your eyes “you’re just so guilty aren’t you? Pent up with so much guilt and regret for leaving the only person who could save you… isn’t that right…” you didn’t dare look into his eyes before he grasped onto your chin forcing you to look at him “isn’t it?” Your eyes searching his before you slowly nodded “yes.” You whispered out feeling completely weak against him,
“I’m sorry, Henry.” You whispered out and his eyes softened “don’t be. Be grateful we met again…. Come with me and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination, you’ll be happy with me. I promise. Those bad things that happen to the people you love… they won’t happen ever again. Now that you’re with me.” He whispered into your ear as he pulled you closer and closer until you were wrapped up in his embrace, the smell of him still lingering… he smelt of the lab… he smelt of everything wonderful: flowers, daisies, the cologne he always wore and just everything you loved… but that didn’t distract you from the fact that his human form, the clothes beneath your fingers seemed to melt into nothingness. You froze… you could feel the way something on him moved. It felt like some sort of sea creature or alien… or unearthed creature… and that’s when you noticed it… tentacles slithering up and down his body “Henry” you whispered out hands now resting against his chest trying to push him away “Henry I don’t like this” you spoke panicked your anxiety rising. “Henry stop this!” You yelled wriggling against his vice like grip “hush… y/n… hush… your suffering is about to come to an end… you said you wanted to join me… so you’ll join me.” He said his voice now totally demonic. It didn’t sound like him… it sounded like some sort of monster.
You continued struggling as you hit at his abdomen in hopes of getting out of his grip “struggling will make it worse” he spoke in such a horrific tone that it made you struggle worse and then that’s when you felt it… your sunglasses in your pocket, your knew it wouldn’t do much but it was something and so you reached into your pocket despair setting in as you desperately lifted your sunglasses above your head before penetrating the arm of the glasses straight into his eye his grip on your loosening as he doubled over his large left hand crushing your sunglasses into nothingness, your legs quickly carried you along the world full of debris your breathing heavy as you sprinted away from him but the further you got the closer to him you remained… it was horrifying. You looked over your shoulder seeing a large tentacle coming straight your way, it was vine like, as if he had control over nature and just as it was about to wrap around your ankle you jumped back watching as it curled around nothing,
“You can hide y/n but you can’t run forever… remember what papa said? The more energy you burn the harder it becomes… you stop now and this’ll be easy for you. I promise.”
He spoke tormenting you as you continued running not stopping, your chest ached eyes full of terrified tears. You ran towards Steve’s home that was completely boarded up again the door that once disappeared now replaced “no no no no oh my god” a soft scream left your lips as you banged on the door loudly “don’t ignore me sweetheart… you can’t ignore me… I won’t let you” he seethed out the sound of his voice now right by your ear and you tensed up “you betrayed me y/n… I won’t ever forgive you for that… but if you join me we can start that process of forgiveness. Cant we?” His nails stroked against your back before he turned you around to look at him “can’t we?” He asked tilting his head as he leaned his head forward eyes a darker shade of blue as he glared into your eyes expectantly, he watched as you sobbed, his head moving back as he took a slight step back a sudden softness overcoming him as he stared at you “or do you need a little longer to decide, hm?” He asked and your breath hitched trying to back into the doorway more as you watched how this figure of his seemed to shrink down into the real Henry a small smile on his lips “I can see you’re struggling. And that’s okay. You’ve got time…” a grandfather clock chimed just a few meters away before he gently grabbed a hold of your hand “not everything’s as it seems… I promise we’ll be happy together one day.” He spoke with a little smile eyes glowing with that warmth again before you sniffled looking at him “I’m sorry Henry.” You whispered and all he did was smile before pulling you close again holding you in such an angelic way that you immediately calmed down in his embrace… “don’t be. You’ll join me soon and realise that, that’s the best thing to do.” A smirk tugged at his lips as he closed his eyes keeping a hold of you….
‘Come with me and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination. Take a look and you’ll see into your imagination… we’ll begin with a spin travelling in the word of my creation, what we’ll see will defy explanation,
If you want to view paradise simply look around and view it. Anything you want to, do it. Want to change the world? There’s nothing to it,
There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination living there you’ll be free if you truly wish to be…’
“Come with me and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination…” the voices were all of Henry’s, Steve’s, Eddie’s, robins… all those you loved but there was that deeper voice of that monster you didn’t wish to encounter again “y/n!” A voice yelled and you fell out of Henry’s arms watching as he smiled watching you fall through the door that was once again no longer there, his figure disappearing as you landed straight into Steve’s arms “Jesus christ! Thank god…” Steve stared down at you eyes full of worry “are you okay?” You then removed the headphones from your ears that were constantly playing the same lyrics over and over again your breath hitching as you stared up at Steve horror in your eyes “she looks exactly like max when she had that experience” Lucas spoke eyes full of worry and you realised your other friends had now appeared there… “what did you see y/n?” Max asked and you stared at her “a monster…” you whispered unsure of how to describe him or it. You didn’t even know… but you watched as everyone looked to each other… and in synchronisation they all spoke the same simple name…

Bond- Chapter 4
Two chapters in one night? It's more likely than you think, especially with my garbage sleep schedule. I'm enjoying developing these characters. That said, this chapter definitely highlights the enemies of 'enemies to lovers.' No warnings for this chapter, but I have an author's note at the end, sharing some thoughts on the progression of their relationship that I advise you check out after reading.
Demon hunting is a socially isolating lifestyle. It's best to work with another hunter or several others, or loneliness creeps up on you. That said, when you spend all of your time with the same people, they can begin to annoy you. Remember to get space when you need it, and if you and your partners don't click, there's no shame in finding another hunting buddy. It's not like you're chained together anyway. -Henry Bayshore, 'Hunting for Dummies'
Felix doesn't expect to be particularly productive during his first day of research, and he proved himself right. He'd taken a couple more general books on demon summoning, hoping he could at least learn the basics of what the ritual was. He really should have paid more attention when Elodie talked about spells. His rudimentary knowledge meant that reading the complicated texts were slow going.
But he couldn't ask Elodie for help, or Mikaela, though she'd be a great asset. If they knew there was a demon bound to him, they'd try to kill it, and Felix couldn't risk losing his own life. Not when he still had a job to do. Besides, after staying awake for so long, even sleeping through the whole morning wasn't enough. By ten o'clock, Felix was exhausted, so he marked the page in the book he was reading and turned go to bed.
"Will you move?" he asks Ace, who was sitting on the edge of his bed, blocking his space.
"Why?"
"Because I'm tired and want to sleep," he says. "And that's my bed."
Ace just smirks back at him. "But I'm your guest. Shouldn't you be a gracious host and let me have the bed?"
"You don't sleep."
Ace hold up a finger, irritatingly close to Felix's nose. "Ah-ah, I don't need to sleep, but I still can."
Felix shoved his hand away. "You're not taking my bed, Ace."
"I don't see why we can't at least share. It's big enough for the both of us."
Felix rolls his eyes but decides not to fight it anymore. He's too tired. Ace is still blocking the entrance to the bed, with it being set in the corner, so Felix awkwardly steps aside him, climbing into the bed. Trapped between Ace and the bedroom wall, Felix rolls to his side, facing away from the demon, and tries to go to sleep.
Ten minutes pass, and he feels a sudden, rhythmic shaking of the bed behind him. He looks over to see Ace bouncing his leg up and down, still sitting on the edge of the bed. "Would you stop that?"
"Stop what?"
"Rocking the bed."
Suddenly, something is lightly touching the back of his neck, oddly caressing his skin. Felix whirls around and grabs it. He's holding the spade of Ace's tail, which he lets go of immediately. The demon just laughs. "That's funny, I've never had someone complain about that before. Usually they enjoy it when the bed starts rocking."
"You know what I mean. I need sleep," said Felix, rolling back onto his side.
There was a short silence, for perhaps a minute, before Ace spoke again, "Wanna make out?"
"No."
"Wanna snuggle?"
"NO!"
Aggravated, Felix yanked the bed's only blanket over himself completely and squeezed his eyes shut. He just wanted some sleep.
Suddenly, he heard a snicker of laughter behind him. "What?" he asked flatly.
"Nothing. Goodnight, Darling."
Felix finally found an uneasy sleep, hoping that Ace hadn't lied about everything and wasn't plotting to kill him while he slept.
Morning arrived, and Felix had not, in fact, been murdered during the night. With his eyes closed, he enjoyed the relative peace for a moment before the events yesterday began flooding his mind again. Right. Demon. Summoning. Stuck.
With a deep breath, he opened his eyes, ready to face the day.
And came face to face with Ace staring right back at him. Felix shouted in shock and rolled backwards. "Finally," said Ace, laughing. "I was wondering how long it'd be 'til you woke up. You should'a seen the look on your face." Somehow, in the middle of the night, Ace had stepped over Felix's body and slid into the small space between him and the wall.
Felix just groaned. The day was already off to a terrible start. He moved to get off the bed, momentarily forgetting about the chain. Ace made no move to follow him, so when Felix reached the edge, the chain went taut, causing him to lose his balance and fall. Ace just laughed again before rolling out of the bed himself, grabbing the chain from the center, and forcing Felix to his feet.
In the bathroom, Ace continued his streak of childish behavior. Felix began to get undressed to shower. "Would you turn around?" he asked Ace.
"Aw, you're not gonna give me a show?" he responds, sitting on the bathroom counter and trying out one of Elodie's perfumes.
Suddenly, Felix realizes another problem. He can't take his shirt off, as the chain connecting them keeps him from sliding out of his sleeve. He returns to the bedroom, pulling Ace along with him. He finds a pair of scissors and the shirt from the top of the sleeve to the collar. "Turn around," Felix repeats once they're back in the bathroom, with a strong sense of authority that even has Ace doing a double take. He makes a 'tsk tsk' sound, but otherwise complies while Felix strips and turns on the shower.
Felix has never been one to sing in the shower, but apparently, Ace is. As Felix tries to clean himself as fast as possible, Ace belts out a chorus to a Whitney Houston hit that would bring tears to the singer's eyes. Tears of pain, that is. Felix pokes his head out from behind the shower curtain and tells Ace to shut it, to which he responds, "Jealous?" and continues singing anyway. Felix thunks his head against the wall of the shower, trying to calm himself down before continuing.
Ace must hear his pause, with shower sounds not changing, because he suddenly pipes up. "Want some company?" Felix doesn't dignify the question with a response, finishing up in silence before shutting the water off, and another complication arises. His towel is on the wall next to the far side of the shower, the chain is out the front. Felix is left awkwardly stretching through the entire length of the shower, one hand close at the front of the shower, where the chain is still connected to Ace and the other reaching for the towel. After significant struggle, he manages to catch the cotton between two fingers and pull it back towards himself.
Drying himself off, Felix puts his new pair of pants on and wraps the towel from his torso to just beneath his arms. "Wow, you really are a prude," Ace comments at the way he choses to cover himself. Felix just rolls his eyes and leaves the bathroom.
Elodie's door is open, but her room is empty, so Felix enters and finds the sewing kit she keeps on her. Years of hunting have made them both experts in basic clothing repairs, a skill Felix has found surprisingly helpful recently. Back in his own bedroom, he ignores Ace yanking on the chain and snickering as he sews three buttons into his shirt along the line he cut. Finally able to dress, Felix undoes the buttons, slides his shirt on and then closes the top. The sleeves are now a little uneven in tightness, but it's better than wearing the same shirt for days.
"What's your problem?" asks Felix, finally reacting to Ace's antics.
The demon just shrugs. "You brought me here, you can deal with it."
"I'm sorry, is this just… revenge for being summoned?"
"Maybe," says Ace, in a way that certainly means yes. "Maybe some inspiration for you to solve this damn problem for both of us."
"You know, you could help with that," says Felix, opening the door and going downstairs with Ace still jingling the chain behind them.
He doesn't let up on his antics in the kitchen either. As Felix tries to make breakfast, Ace blocks his way to the fridge, turns off the stove while Felix is cooking eggs, and very nearly trips him with his tail.
"Would you quit it?" Felix hisses, finally adding the eggs as well as a toasted bagel to his plate.
"Quit what?" comes a voice from behind him, and Felix freezes. He catches Ace's expression too, and he also has a look of shock on his face.
Felix turns to see Elodie walk into the room., returning a glass to the kitchen. "Nothing," he answers quickly. "Just, erm, was trying to kill a fly and it kept getting away."
"I see," says Elodie. "You feeling any better? I haven't seen much of you lately, and I wanted to talk about catching that demon."
"Do you really think it's worth our time?" Felix asks.
"Absolutely, I bet it's tracking us. It found our room," says Elodie. "Hell, maybe the summoning failed because it was already here, just out of sight. Maybe it knocked us out and we couldn't see it."
Felix begins adding jam to his bagel, trying to think of a way to answer Elodie's question that gets her to back off the summoning without becoming suspicious. If she tries summoning Ace with Felix already bound to him who knows what would happen? "Why would it just knock us out?" he finally asks. "It could have killed us last night."
"Maybe it was trying to send a message," says Elodie, uncertain. She sits down at the kitchen table, pondering the situation.
"Well then it did a pretty poor job. It should have at least let us know what it wanted." Felix pulls a fork out of the kitchen drawer and sets in on his plate.
"What's your theory then?"
Felix looks at Ace, who's leaning against the countertop, an uncharacteristically serious expression on his face. "Maybe your summoning had an issue. It was your first time trying it, after all. And maybe it's a weak, pathetic demon who's too scared to come after us face to face." His tone is sharp as he ends his sentence, and he looks at Ace out of the corner of his eye who responds extremely maturely, sticking his tongue out at Felix.
"Maybe. Let's lay low for a few days; make sure it doesn't pop up and come for us when we aren't ready."
"I agree. I'll do some reading and see if I can find anything about failed summonings." Elodie nods.
"I'm going to go to the store today for some groceries. You need anything?"
"I'll text you," says Felix as Ace next to him says "Oh, how about a good red wine." Felix ignores him and picks up his plate, wondering where his fork went. He opens the same drawer and picks up another one as Elodie turns to leave.
Felix picks up his phone and begins adding a few things to a list for Elodie. "So, maybe a nice Merlot, what do you think?"
"I'm not asking Elodie to get you wine," says Felix, sending the message.
"Why not? Forcing me to be around you is bad enough, but having to do it sober is just cruel," says Ace.
"Because I don't drink wine; if I ask her to buy some, she'll be suspicious."
Felix takes the plate to the kitchen table and Ace follows. Only when he sit down does he realize that the fork is missing again. "Ace, did you take my fork?"
"Hmm, why would I do that?" asks Ace, fluttering his eyelashes. Felix rolls his eyes and fishes yet another out from the drawer. He eats as quickly as he can, ravenous after the last few busy days.
Felix tries to settle in for another day of research, but Ace does not let up on his antics. From talking nonsense to himself to wandering around the room, going through his stuff and testing the lengths of a chain. Felix gets so wrapped up in trying to study one of the books that he doesn't notice that Ace has looped the chain around his front while he zoned out, leaving the thin chain tangled up around his chest. He nearly falls out of the chair trying to fix it, and Ace cackles.
After several hours and no new answers, Elodie brings him food. Chicken and rice and some grilled vegetables. Felix takes a break from reading and allows himself to eat more slowly, enjoying his rest from work. He zones out a little bit, just relaxing for a while. At least, until he hears a snicker from the bed to his left.
He turns over to see that Ace has snatched his journal. He has a pink pen in his hand, and is doodling over the faded writing and sketches on the pages. "What are you doing?" Felix whisper-yells, knocking the pen from his hand. He tries to nab the journal as well, but Ace turns away, holding it just out of reach.
"I'm just making some revisions," he said. Felix stares at the pink scribbles, which are certainly are not improvements.
"Where'd you even get that pen? Give it back!"
"It was on the desk in the library. And, no, I don't think I will."
Felix lunges for his journal again, only succeeding in jostling Ace's arm a little bit, causing a small "click" to come from the back of the book.
"Ooh, what's this?" Ace asks teasingly, and Felix's blood runs cold. Ace opens up a hidden compartment in a journal, and half a dozen polaroid photos fall out. "What are these? Are they of you?"
Felix gets out of the chair to grab at them, but Ace kicks the chair out as he tries to get up, causing Felix to slip on to the ground. Ace pins him down. "Just a sec', I wanna look at these real quick." Felix just freezes, giving up completely. He's too weak to fight back; he can't argue and yell or Elodie will hear. He's completely stuck.
"Oh, is this a young Elodie?" asks Ace, holding up the first picture. Felix knows the photo of him and Elodie sitting on a tree branch on Dyer Island. "She was adorable, and you… well the bowl cut wasn't a great idea."
"Ace, please stop," Felix says desperately, angry at having his privacy completely invaded. The demon doesn't listen, he just keeps flipping through the photos until he comes to the last one.
The last is Felix's favorite. He's seventeen in that picture, which Elodie took. It shows him and another boy, just a year older. The other boy is looking at the camera, a look of pleasant surprise on his face as a young Felix leans in and kisses him on the cheek. "You never told me about a boy in your life," says Ace. "You've got good taste; how come he's not out here hunting demons?"
With renewed anger, Felix stands up, making another attempt at grabbing the photos. He catches the one in Ace's hand between his fingers and tries to pull it away, but the photo rips in the process, causing Felix to stumble back down, eyes beginning to water.
"Well now look what you've done," taunts Ace, picking up the pieces of the photo and turning them over. "Oh you left him a note on the back. 'Dear Sebastian, you'll always be here, in my heart. I-'…Oh fuck." Ace trails off and a genuine look of remorse crosses his face. He doesn't finish reading the photo.
'I miss you.'
Felix is crying now. He'd just destroyed the last photo of him and Sebastian, his first love, and one of his best friends. There was so little left from the Pariahs, and now, another artifact had been destroyed.
"Sorry," mutters Ace. But it's half-hearted. Felix doesn't respond, just sitting down on the bedroom floor and sobbing, holding his head in his hands. He stays like that for a long time. Ace is mercifully silent.
When he finally composes himself and stands up, he doesn't look at Ace, though he can feel the demon's stare directed towards him. Instead, he turns to the desk, where he sits down and opens the next tome. The demon has caused enough pain already. It's time to send him away.
Final Note: Ace obviously crosses a line several times this chapter, and while it's not a surprise due to his demonic nature and the situation he finds himself in, it does raise some concerns about the progression of Felix and Ace's relationship. Obviously, a lot of fiction contains unhealthy, toxic relationships. But I know a lot of folks don't jive with that, myself included. So without causing any spoilers, I just want to let everyone know that Felix is not about to be a pushover this fic, and Ace has a lot of reflecting to do before any sort of relationship is possible between them. The tension and Ace's ass-hattery will not be swept under the rug in a would-be unhealthy relationship. Thank you for reading, and I appreciate any and all feedback.

The Ink Demonth 26
Today is Demon.
This takes place in the Ink Demon Henry AU.
=============================================
Audrey woke up in a black void.
Looking around, she couldn't see anyone or anything else. She was the only person in this void. The only thing bathed in light while the darkness churned around her. But... how had she gotten here? The last thing she remembered was being consumed by the Ink Demon.
Was this... Was she... dead?
"No. No no no." She shook her head, pulling at her hair. "I can't be dead. I can't! I need to get home!"
After everything she'd gone through, it couldn't end like this. She had to get home! She'd been through too much to just fail!
"You're not dead," a familiar voice said from behind her.
Audrey whirled around, expecting to see the Ink Demon menacing her, or at the very least Henry menacing her while wearing the Ink Demon's form.
Instead, she saw Henry sitting on the ground, with the dapper little Bendy clinging to his arm. He looked tired. They both did. For once, Henry looked... normal. There was no black sclera, no inky tears running down Henry's cheeks. Just an exhausted man holding a child-sized demon close to him.
"...Where are we?" Audrey asked.
She didn't approach them. Nearly every interaction she'd had with the Ink Demon/Henry had been strange and more than a little threatening, and she was pretty sure this interaction was going to be more of the same. She didn't trust him. She didn't trust either of them. Whoever Henry had been before, he had clearly been changed by this latest Cycle and his fusion with the Ink Demon. This had to be some kind of trap.
"We're inside the Ink Demon," Henry said, patting the Bendy between his horns. "You're a part of the collective entity now."
"Because you ate me!" Audrey snapped.
"We integrated your ink into ours," Henry said, somehow still calm.
"No, you ate me!" Audrey insisted, stalking closer to jab her finger at Henry. "Why?! Why did you do that?!"
"We wanted to give you power," the little Bendy at Henry's side answered. His voice made Audrey jump a bit, as it was very disconcerting to hear the low, guttural voice of the Ink Demon coming from such a tiny body.
"We're tired, Audrey," Henry said, holding the little Bendy a bit closer. "We want this to end. And we think you can end it."
"And how does eating me factor into that?" Audrey folded her arms.
"You need to take the End Reel to a projector," Henry said. "We figured it would be easier to do that with the power of the Ink Demon."
"The followers of the usurper will try to stop you," the Ink Demon added. "You could not overcome them as you were. They would overwhelm you."
"Why couldn't you just do this yourselves?!" Audrey demanded. "Why rely on me for this?! WHY EAT ME?!"
She was so tired of all of this. She was tired of people saying the weirdest, vaguest shit she'd ever heard and offering absolutely no explanation for any of it. She was tired of weird monsters chasing her and trying to kill her. She was tired of running and hiding. She wanted this to be over. She just wanted to go home. She didn't want to have to do anything else for anyone. She didn't ask for any of this. She didn't ask to be the heir to some kind of weird ink dimension.
Henry watched her as she began to sob, covering her face with her hands. Slowly, he got to his feet, picking up the Ink Demon in one arm before going over and using the other to enfold Audrey in a hug. Audrey hesitated for a moment before collapsing into him, wrapping her arms around and holding tight. The Ink Demon patted her head with one gloved hand.
"I'm sorry you got dragged into this, Audrey," Henry said, his voice quiet and gentle. "You didn't deserve any of it."
"Then help me go home!" Audrey sobbed into his chest. "Let me leave! I don't want to be here!
"In order to leave, you'll need to play the Reel," Henry said. "It'll send you back to the real world."
"Why didn't you tell me that sooner?!" Audrey demanded, beating a fist against Henry's chest. "Why didn't you tell me that from the beginning?!"
Henry hesitated, glancing at the Ink Demon. Looks of guilt crossed both of their faces.
"We were.... consumed by our own rage," the Ink Demon offered. "We only thought of the hurt we wished to inflict on others."
"Plus, getting the Reel would have been dangerous for you," Henry added. "But... We came to an understanding with Joey."
Audrey frowned, pulling away. "An understanding? I thought you hated him."
"We do," the Ink Demon growled, his original Ink Demon appearance beginning to peak through as his fingers and teeth sharpened and his horns seemed to grow longer. "I am very displeased with this outcome. I do not believe he will be true to his word. He never has been before."
"He said he wants to make amends," Henry explained, reaching over to absentmindedly pat the Ink Demon between the horns, returning him to his small Bendy state. "He said he'd get the Reel from the Pit and bring it here. And then we could send you home."
"He will double-cross us," the Ink Demon grumbled.
"If he does..." Henry paused, the sclera of his eyes flashing black for a moment. "We'll deal with it."
Audrey sniffled loudly, wiping her nose on the back of her less inky hand. "So I just... need to get the reel to a projector and I can go home?"
Henry nodded. "The Lost Ones will try to stop you but you can handle it now. We'll help you."
"Yeah, it was really helpful to eat me," Audrey muttered. "Whatever. Thanks, I guess."
"It's time to wake up," the Ink Demon said. "There is work to be done."
And slowly... Audrey's eyes began to open.
It was time to go home.

Oceanic Appreciation
Super self indulgent and projecting onto mc and Levi here but I hope you like it!
Warnings: mc+Levi have a stutter, mc repeats the same word two times in a row sometimes, nd coded mc+Levi, they/them mc, Levi misspells from speedtyping, Levi calls mc Henry once
As MC lays on the floor of their room, thinking about everything and nothing in a chaotic jumble of thoughts, they have an urge to ramble about something to their favourite demon; Leviathan.
‘ener me was stupi- Oh my GOD I HAVE TO TELL LEVI ABOUT MY FAVOURITE JELLY!!!’ MCs thoughts are focused on one thing, and that thing is telling Levi everything about their favourite type of jellyfish.
And so, MC sits up fast and sends their best friend a text.
Silly Nerd !!!! (Levi)
__________________________________________________________________________________
Hey Levi!! Could I come to
your room later? I wanna
hangout 10:57 A.M
??!!
You really wanna
hangout with me??
Uhh ok what time!!
Around 1:20 maybe?? Is
that okay?
Yeaj perfevt!!
**yeah perfect
lmao
Anyway thanks Levi!! C u soon! Read at 11:00 A.M
__________________________________________________________________________________
As MC and Levi end their quick chat, MC stands up. They switch to their preferred music app (Levi hacked it onto their D.D.D for them), connect their headphones to it, and put on their favourite playlist. MC walks over to their desk. They pull open one of the drawers, and take their sketchbook out.
Picking up their pencil and opening the book, MC starts to draw some jellyfish, and many variations of it; be it human versions, anatomically correct, or cartoony ones.
MC does this for two hours, sometimes spacing out or getting lost in scenarios with the music. And when they look over at their D.D.D, it’s 1:00 P.M, and MC feels like moving around.
MC stands up, putting the book away, and leaves their room to walk around the HoL for a bit, and s stops by the kitchen to get water, as their throat feels uncomfortably dry. After finishing their cup of water, they walk out of the kitchen and pull out their phone to check the time, hurrying quietly over to Levi’s door to be there two minutes before 1:20 P.M.
And MC waits, fidgeting with their fingers patiently and excitedly.
‘20… 30…. 50… 1:20!! Okay now you can knock MC!!’
They knock, the exact way they always do: one, one, two, one. And Levi opens the door immediately after.
“O-oh hey Henry! I didn’t think you’d actually show up, LOL! Anyway… what game did you want to play?” Levi exclaims.
“Actually Levi, I wanted to talk to you about something…” MC realizes how upsetting that sounds, “OH! OH NO, it’s not- it’s not a bad thing don’t worry!!” They sputter out, trying to reassure Levi that they weren’t mad. “I just wanted to tell you about my favourite jellyfish! Is- is that okay??” They say nervously.
“… Your favourite jellyfish!? LOL MC I know everything about them! I made them!!” He brags. The slight blush he has gives away that he’s flattered MC likes creatures of his element, though. He continues, “But sure, tell me all that humans know about your favourite one. Hearing it from my player two would be epic!!”
And tell him everything, MC did.
“My favourite has a few names, but is mainly known as a ‘Moon Jellyfish’, it’s very cute and is both the easy- the easiest to take care of AND its stings can’t be felt by humans, making it the most har- harmless jellyfish to humans. They usually travel alone, but on occasion move in groups called ‘a Smack’. Also!! Also, thanks to both Global Warming on Earth and water poll- pollution, the water temperatures are hotter, making it easier for them to live freely. Unfortunately, these little guys are targets of both sea,,, air, and land predators, making their lives shorter than they already are. The longest they usually ever live up to is one year. And they can asexually reproduce! They- they have a little clover-like design on their top and can touch by that to reproduce. They’re super cute and I love them so much!!”
Levi looks almost zoned out, with how intense he’s staring at MC. But then he says “Woah, MC… You know so much about them!! I’m happy you like jellyfish! I can’t believe it!!!! Can I- Can I tell you about my favourite kind of snakes??” He finishes excitedly.
“YES!!!!” MC says giddily, happy to be able to bond with him.
The two went back and forth sharing their interests and fixations, up into late hours of the night (switching to playing games while talking) and eventually fell asleep, controllers in hand, and game temporarily abandoned for the night.

Come with me and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination.
Synopsis: y/n used to reside within Hawkins lab, until the massacre… she was the one whom watched eleven send Henry into the upside down but she is constantly tormented by her demons… the ones inside her head… how could she betray Henry like that? Well the reader comes across a very familiar person… but he isn’t all that he seems. (A very horror-y aspect to it all)
Trigger warnings: attempted killing, gore, blood, violence, psychotic 001, psychotic vecna, food talk, death, all that stuff. If you’re sensitive to this then please read at your own discretion.
A/N: Yes I’m obsessed with this man but… how can I not be? I mean cmon look at him😩🫶🏻 and yes I’d also join him… I in fact volunteer as tribute.
-
The lab was always a nightmare. In the past, present and future. It would always haunt you. It was the type of memory that was certain to leave a bad taste in your mouth. It was awful to say the least. But it wasn’t just that… no… it was more than that. It was Henry- you remember the day like it was yesterday,
Your body stood rigid eyes full of fear as you watched how el threw him against the wall, the edges of the wall beginning to crack and fly off like dust as Henry’s body began to melt into the wall… melting like he wasn’t a human. Melting in such a terrifying inhuman way. You wanted to help but you couldn’t, he had killed your and elevens friends. Even if those friends did bully you relentlessly it didn’t give him any rights to hurt them. They were just children. The way Henry screamed in pain begging for your help looking you dead in the eye as he begged for you to do something… but you didn’t. You just stood there hands by your sides, clenched into fists as you breathed heavily. The wall sucked him in as he flew out of sight, his screams being heard for the next few seconds until the wall quite literally sealed shut as if nothing had happened “we’ve got to go, come on,” eleven spoke grabbing your wrist as she pulled you towards the door “we need to find safety. Come on. We aren’t welcome here anymore, the bad men are after us. Come on y/n.” Her voice desperate, and you simply went along with it… head empty… brain thoughtless… your body going into autopilot. You had really just betrayed the man who helped you with everything. You felt guilty as anything but knew it was for the best, right?
-a few years later-
“You’re such a dingus oh my god!” Robin burst out laughing as she shoved Steve who was shoving as much banana into his mouth as he possibly could, you watched on slightly disgusted.“Cmonitsaworldrecordformostbananainthemouthright?” Steve spoke in such a way no one understood him. You groaned out rolling your eyes “that’s so gross Steve! Eat with your mouth closed!” You almost begged making him roll his eyes at you but he listened silently eating the rest of the banana which was all mushed up in his mouth, and once the banana was all gone he looked at both you and Robin “tough crowd huh?” He asked purposely opening another banana much to robins disgust, watching as Steve took another huge bite of the banana smiling widely at both you and Robin to try and torment you and you grimaced “no, you’re just disgusting..” robin continued as she and Steve continued bickering about whether scoffing a banana down was gross or not “at least I didn’t swallow it whole! Would you of rather me deep throat it-“ “what the fuck Steve that’s rancid!” Their argument went on back and forth but you weren’t focusing eyes locked onto the fact that there was a figure standing in the doorway your eyes squinting trying to figure out who was there “I’ll be back in a second guys,” you spoke standing up not even being acknowledged by the arguing teens…
You walked out into the hallway but no one was there, your brows furrowed as you gulped slightly. Weird things always happened in Hawkins but especially since two weeks ago… you started having more frequent dreams about the lab. About the horror that consumed your every day life in the lab it simply just wouldn’t go away. “Dustin?” You asked nervously eyes flicking back and forth “I swear to god if you and your dumb friends are playing a prank on me I will not be happy…” your voice unbeknownst to you had gone from being shaky to being echo-y as if you were in a endless tunnel. “Dustin stop this right now! I swear to god if you and your silly friends don’t come out right now I-“
click click click click tick tock tick tock tick tock
Your breath hitched a chime soon following the ticking and you soon found that there was cobwebs everywhere, dust as well, there was absolutely no human touch to it anymore as if no one had been here in decades. You spun around looking around for somewhere to run, but everywhere was boarded up… what the fuck? You quickly darted towards the front door as you heard the chimes getting closer and closer to you. You began pulling and yanking at the handle of the door not stopping until you had quite literally fallen over from pulling so hard, pulling the door handle off as well “classic! What the actual fuck” you spat out quickly forcing yourself to stand before you looked back towards the door… or well… where the door was. There was no door there anymore there was only vines that caressed the edges of the door as if waiting for an unsuspecting victim to cross its path, you let out a shaky breath unsure on what to do exactly before a sudden scream grabbed your attention,
“Y/n!!! Please! Please! Help me! I-I’m stuck! I cant get out! Y/n!!” The voice was scarily close to Eddie’s and you immediately without even thinking about it sprinted out of the front door, running to where the voice was coming from but the closer you got the further away it became his screams only growing louder and louder, screaming your name for mercy as tears stung your vision and you weren’t quite sure whether it was because of the fear you felt or the wind piercing your vision but before you could think much more of that your body collided against another body, your body collapsing onto the ground as you panted “Eddie?” You squinted looking up “ouch, why wouldn’t you recognise me?” A different voice spoke the screams stopping “look who decided to finally join me,” his voice was soft and gentle a sincere smile on his lips “someones a sleepy head this morning,” it was as if he was reciting a script to torment you… his body still clothed in that white sterile outfit,
He then held his hand out for you to take his skin still soft looking, yet little almost invisible markings were on his skin… as if his skin wasn’t his but instead of recognising the red flags in this whole entire situation to carefully reached your hand out grabbing a hold of his as he pulled you up gently his blue eyes full of trauma and sadness before he slowly let go of your hand, a stray tear had trailed down your cheek and he was quick to capture it with the pad of his thumb turning his hand to face himself as he stared at the clear liquid staining his thumb “why do you cry?” He asked and you stared in silence “why don’t I cry?” You responded rhetorically making him tilt his head to the side as if questioning you before he dropped his hand back down by his side “there’s no need to cry… I’m the same person as I was…” he soothed but there was an undertone to his voice that told you, you couldn’t trust him. He then looked back into your eyes “the offer still stands.” He spoke, slender fingers reaching forward to gently caress against your cheek “join me,”
He spoke so softly so sincerely it was almost hard to not say yes to him but you knew… he had changed in ways that you didn’t want to experience. The chimes were still in the distance and you knew that most definitely was a pawn in his game. Just like you… you were nothing but a pawn in this fantasy of his. His eyes searched yours and yours did the exact same thing back to him before you shook your head “this shouldn’t be real life… it isn’t real life. You’re fake, Henry. Stop trying to get in my head.” You demanded making him pull back a frown forming on his face “I don’t understand why you would say such a thing. This is real life. Or maybe you’re fake. Who’s to say you aren’t dead.” He almost threatened you, gaslighting you in the most ridiculous way. You stared silently staring at him before letting out a soft laugh… “I love when you laugh” he spoke making your smile disappear in an instant. “This is real life, yes, but you… YOU. You aren’t real.” You spat out and just as Henry was about to twist those words on you again you cut him off “and I am real, one, realer than you… because if I was fake… then would I be able to do this?” And in one quick movement you threw your hand forward attempting to throw him but his large hand wrapped around your wrist turning your wrist in such a way that it caused you so much agony, your lips parting, shuttered breaths leaving your lips as you tried to pull away from him “ah, ah, ah… I wouldn’t try that if I were you.” His slender fingers curled further around your wrist tightening in such a painful way that your knees buckled beneath you as you began to kneel in agony until your knees touched the ground and he let go of your wrist
“I don’t want to hurt you,”
He shook his head along with his words before exhaling softly “but if I have to, I have to… okay?” His eyes remained on you but you didn’t respond watching how he tilted his head to the side staring at you “I’ll give you one last chance, y/n, join me.” He spoke as he crossed his arms over his chest, you breathed heavily cradling your wrist like a baby as you began automatically shaking your head but you feared what he would do to you if you didn’t and so your shaking head soon turned to nodding the smile that appeared on Henry’s lips being unrecognisable “that’s what I like to hear” he then slowly walked towards you as he helped you stand carefully “I just wanted to rule the world with you y/n, yet you and Eleven had to ruin it. Didn’t you?” He whispered gazing into your eyes, tears forming in your eyes “you’re just so guilty aren’t you? Pent up with so much guilt and regret for leaving the only person who could save you… isn’t that right…” you didn’t dare look into his eyes before he grasped onto your chin forcing you to look at him “isn’t it?” Your eyes searching his before you slowly nodded “yes.” You whispered out feeling completely weak against him,
“I’m sorry, Henry.” You whispered out and his eyes softened “don’t be. Be grateful we met again…. Come with me and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination, you’ll be happy with me. I promise. Those bad things that happen to the people you love… they won’t happen ever again. Now that you’re with me.” He whispered into your ear as he pulled you closer and closer until you were wrapped up in his embrace, the smell of him still lingering… he smelt of the lab… he smelt of everything wonderful: flowers, daisies, the cologne he always wore and just everything you loved… but that didn’t distract you from the fact that his human form, the clothes beneath your fingers seemed to melt into nothingness. You froze… you could feel the way something on him moved. It felt like some sort of sea creature or alien… or unearthed creature… and that’s when you noticed it… tentacles slithering up and down his body “Henry” you whispered out hands now resting against his chest trying to push him away “Henry I don’t like this” you spoke panicked your anxiety rising. “Henry stop this!” You yelled wriggling against his vice like grip “hush… y/n… hush… your suffering is about to come to an end… you said you wanted to join me… so you’ll join me.” He said his voice now totally demonic. It didn’t sound like him… it sounded like some sort of monster.
You continued struggling as you hit at his abdomen in hopes of getting out of his grip “struggling will make it worse” he spoke in such a horrific tone that it made you struggle worse and then that’s when you felt it… your sunglasses in your pocket, your knew it wouldn’t do much but it was something and so you reached into your pocket despair setting in as you desperately lifted your sunglasses above your head before penetrating the arm of the glasses straight into his eye his grip on your loosening as he doubled over his large left hand crushing your sunglasses into nothingness, your legs quickly carried you along the world full of debris your breathing heavy as you sprinted away from him but the further you got the closer to him you remained… it was horrifying. You looked over your shoulder seeing a large tentacle coming straight your way, it was vine like, as if he had control over nature and just as it was about to wrap around your ankle you jumped back watching as it curled around nothing,
“You can hide y/n but you can’t run forever… remember what papa said? The more energy you burn the harder it becomes… you stop now and this’ll be easy for you. I promise.”
He spoke tormenting you as you continued running not stopping, your chest ached eyes full of terrified tears. You ran towards Steve’s home that was completely boarded up again the door that once disappeared now replaced “no no no no oh my god” a soft scream left your lips as you banged on the door loudly “don’t ignore me sweetheart… you can’t ignore me… I won’t let you” he seethed out the sound of his voice now right by your ear and you tensed up “you betrayed me y/n… I won’t ever forgive you for that… but if you join me we can start that process of forgiveness. Cant we?” His nails stroked against your back before he turned you around to look at him “can’t we?” He asked tilting his head as he leaned his head forward eyes a darker shade of blue as he glared into your eyes expectantly, he watched as you sobbed, his head moving back as he took a slight step back a sudden softness overcoming him as he stared at you “or do you need a little longer to decide, hm?” He asked and your breath hitched trying to back into the doorway more as you watched how this figure of his seemed to shrink down into the real Henry a small smile on his lips “I can see you’re struggling. And that’s okay. You’ve got time…” a grandfather clock chimed just a few meters away before he gently grabbed a hold of your hand “not everything’s as it seems… I promise we’ll be happy together one day.” He spoke with a little smile eyes glowing with that warmth again before you sniffled looking at him “I’m sorry Henry.” You whispered and all he did was smile before pulling you close again holding you in such an angelic way that you immediately calmed down in his embrace… “don’t be. You’ll join me soon and realise that, that’s the best thing to do.” A smirk tugged at his lips as he closed his eyes keeping a hold of you….
‘Come with me and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination. Take a look and you’ll see into your imagination… we’ll begin with a spin travelling in the word of my creation, what we’ll see will defy explanation,
If you want to view paradise simply look around and view it. Anything you want to, do it. Want to change the world? There’s nothing to it,
There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination living there you’ll be free if you truly wish to be…’
“Come with me and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination…” the voices were all of Henry’s, Steve’s, Eddie’s, robins… all those you loved but there was that deeper voice of that monster you didn’t wish to encounter again “y/n!” A voice yelled and you fell out of Henry’s arms watching as he smiled watching you fall through the door that was once again no longer there, his figure disappearing as you landed straight into Steve’s arms “Jesus christ! Thank god…” Steve stared down at you eyes full of worry “are you okay?” You then removed the headphones from your ears that were constantly playing the same lyrics over and over again your breath hitching as you stared up at Steve horror in your eyes “she looks exactly like max when she had that experience” Lucas spoke eyes full of worry and you realised your other friends had now appeared there… “what did you see y/n?” Max asked and you stared at her “a monster…” you whispered unsure of how to describe him or it. You didn’t even know… but you watched as everyone looked to each other… and in synchronisation they all spoke the same simple name…

ooh I would like to contribute to the pairing ask
And I'm going to give you a bunch to choose from because I can't decide and also that way you get to do the ones that you find the most fun without trying to do the ones you don't have ideas for (pick whichever you like and feel no pressure to do them all):
wyatt and the manticore baby (this can be gen or romantic, whichever you prefer)
chris and bianca in the past
piper with her niece/nephew (gen, dealers choice for which child)
patty and paige (gen)
victor and henry sr bonding as mortals in a magical family
elise with one of the charmed ones offspring as honorary aunt
more of the baby morrises all grown up however you would prefer
piper re-meeting bianca in the future (gen)
phoebe and andy (gen), preferably with time travel involved, bc we get told andy cares a lot about all the sisters and vice versa but we don't really get to see that as much with phoebe
a charmed one with their ex bf in an unexpected situation (gen, again dealers choice of who)
time travelling wyatt and chris (gen)
and prue and paige (gen) either in a world where its a different sister that dies or after they've both died and they're looking at the mess and drama of future generations and Judging
I went ahead and added this to the initial post bc I did not originally, but I think that one pairing per an ask will probably be easier bc if I do all of these, it will end up being so long that someone will murder me for ending up on their dash. That said, I am begging you on my knees to resubmit the others because I want to do literally all of them please please please
Pairing: Wyatt Halliwell ? Sebastian Johnston (half-manticore baby)
-----
Trudging through the empty cavern, Wyatt kept glancing over to Sebastian uncertainly. His expression was uncharacteristically steely, normal jovial mood absent. Prior to their run-in with the demon, Wyatt had been the same way, intent on finding his siblings and cousins. He still was focused on finding them, but felt his attention split as they walked between worry for them and replaying the demon's words.
"Poor demon," she cooed, dodging the potion Wyatt threw. Darting into Sebastian's face, she smiled maliciously as she said, "Blonde of hair, fair of face, never will-"
She slammed into the wall as Wyatt snarled wordlessly, trying to get to Sebastian's side as the half-manticore shook off the daze that her spell had left them with. Sebastian opened his mouth, eyes narrowed, but the demon beat them to it.
Throwing her head back to let her hair fall back, she grinned as she threw out both hands. Half a second too late, Wyatt was caught in the blast as she telekinetically threw everything in her past. He lost sight of Sebastian as the demon's workstation flipped and-
Oh, wow, the Underworld really had tall caverns actually. Wheezing for breath for a minute, Wyatt heard the demon start her little rhyme over again absently as he tried to convince his lungs to take in a breath. That was good, because she wouldn't recite her weird... prophecy? spell? whatever over a corpse. Probably. You never could tell with demons.
Also there was no way that Sebastian, who came right behind Chris and Penny as the most likely Warren kid to fight demons by themselves - despite not even being, y'know, a Warren - was killed by one telekinetic blast. Chris did worse, and didn't that thought send a pang of worry about his younger brother through his chest.
Or, actually, that might be that one of the potions on the demon's workspace was apparently acidic in nature, and Wyatt's hand was burning a little now. Fuck.
Bracing himself, Wyatt sucked in a breath and pushed the table back and sat up. The demon was on top of Sebastian, one hand cupping his face as she finished her rhyme, "-of the Charmed One's embrace. Unrequited love is such a pain, little demon, let me spare you of it."
"Get away from hIM," Wyatt roared, throwing hands out, magic distorting his voice in the last minute. At his shout, both Sebastian and the demon's heads snapped over to look at him. Sebastian's eyes went wide, and he bucked his hips enough to startle the demon. Just as the energy blast was about to engulf them, Sebastian shimmered away, unfortunately taking the demon with him. The blast slammed into the wall, destroying the entire shelf of potions lining it.
Wyatt felt more than heard Sebastian reappear, spinning on his heel just as Sebastian came into view. Sending the demon sprawling onto the ground, Sebastian rolled to one side, scrambling onto his feet as the demon rose with a screech.
"Wyatt!" Sebastian pointed at the remains of the demon's knife collection scattered on the ground opposite of them, and Wyatt didn't hesitate. As the demon raised her arms, Wyatt threw out his arm and the demon's destroyed armory went flying at her.
"Well, that seems like karma," Sebastian commented, breathless, as the two watched the demon burst into flames. Seeing as the entire debacle started when the demon sent her own armory at them, Wyatt couldn't help but agree.
Blonde of hair. Fair of face. Something about a Charmed One. Unrequited love. Years of looks between family members and gently teasing comments that Wyatt never quite got.
Sebastian had been one of Wyatt's best friends since he was a baby. Whenever Sebastian spent time with someone, they were almost always guaranteed a fun time that they needed. Beyond just genuine joy, Sebastian would always have his friends' backs. He was Chris and Penny's most consistent backup in a demon fight. He was the person that Melinda would call when she wanted a friend to party with or play video games against. He was the person that would go after Parker when she got a too desperate need to prove herself as a witch. Even if they hadn't been friends themselves, Sebastian's love and care for Wyatt's family would have more then earned Wyatt's love. Despite his heritage, Sebastian was a compassionate person who loved deeply, and he was one of Wyatt's best friends.
But as the pit continued forming in his stomach, Wyatt knew that he didn't love him as more than a friend.
There was no guarantee that the demon had been telling the truth. But Sebastian's expression had been painfully exposed.
Demons were cruel, and it would be so characteristic of a demon to throw that in Sebastian's face right in front of the person he loved.
The thought kept taunting Wyatt, and he knew he needed to resolve it somehow. They were still tracking his siblings and cousins, and whoever managed to subdue multiple Warrens was sure to be dangerous. Being distracted was dangerous, but Wyatt couldn't bring it up to Sebastian and risk hurting him right-
"Dude," Sebastian said, and Wyatt stopped his anxious tirade of thoughts as Sebastian snapped in front of his face.
Blinking, Wyatt looked between the fingers in front of his eyes to Sebastian's face. He was still tired, still worried, but there was a familiar look of bemusement in his eyes as he looked at Wyatt. One hand was on his bicep, a light grip keeping him still, as he dropped his other hand.
"You back with me?" Sebastian asked.
Wyatt nodded mutely.
"What's wrong?" he asked. "You spaced out for like. Five whole minutes. None of those demon's potions did anything to you, right?"
Wyatt shook his head. Sebastian opened his mouth to say something else, but Wyatt blurted out, "Blonde of hair, fair of face."
Sebastian's mouth snapped shut, as his gaze became unreadable. After a few moments of uncomfortable silence as Wyatt struggled to find words, Sebastian tilted his head and asked, "And? Is there a problem with that?"
His voice was guarded, but not hostile. Wyatt nearly tripped over his words as he frantically shook his head. "No! Just I don't know if-"
Sebastian's shoulders dropped an inch as his eyes softened. "Wyatt, I'm an adult. I don't need-"
"I'm sorry," Wyatt interrupted, guilt heavy in his stomach. He knew, logically at least, that he wasn't obligated to return feelings, but Wyatt never enjoyed hurting people, and to hurt one of his best friends was excruciating. "If I could, I would."
Wyatt winced at his words, because it wasn't as if Sebastian was unlovable, just that Wyatt didn't-
"No," Sebastian nearly snarled. Wyatt started, and Sebastian nearly looked as startled as Wyatt did. Still, he continued, "I don't need more than friendship, Wyatt. That's enough for me. As long as-"
You're happy, Wyatt mentally finished. Or you find someone. Some kind response that highlighted why Sebastian was great and why Wyatt felt awful.
"-she's happy and safe, I'll be okay."
Wait, what?
"But we need to get going to find them, because the longer we wait-" Sebastian was still talking as he turned to continue, but Wyatt was still stuck on the "she" part.
Had the demon actually... specified Wyatt? Thinking back, there was no actual guarantee that it had been Wyatt the demon was talking about. Blonde of hair, fair of face, and something about a Charmed One? Yes, that was Wyatt. It was also Melinda and Peyton. And sometimes Penny, but seeing as she was a lesbian and Sebastian knew that, Wyatt thought it safe to assume that Sebastian would have had plenty of time to get over it if it had been Penny.
Oh, boy.
Face burning, Wyatt interrupted, "She?"
Sebastian turned back around, voice fading as he took in whatever expression Wyatt had. They were both silent for a minute before Sebastian's lips quirked up. He couldn't control the grin as he asked, laughter in his voice, "Wyatt, did you think-"
"Blonde of hair, fair of face!" Wyatt protested immediately, feeling just a little stupid.
Sebastian outright began laughing as he finished, "Never will feel the daughter of a Charmed One embrace. Unless you have something to tell me, which I completely support-"
Wyatt pushed past Sebastian as he kept laughing, face burning but heart lighter than it was.
As he continued on his path, Wyatt heard Sebastian fall in step just behind him, still laughing. They still had demons to vanquish and family to save, but at least he wasn't responsible for breaking one of his best friend's heart.
Wait. Did that mean Sebastian liked his sister?

Hoping on here to say I finished my reread of trk like…months ago? and any meaningful discussion i could write has been lost. so instead here’s some notes i wrote in the margins!
“Blue saying she wouldn’t have been friends with Noah when he was alive?? Bitch I would! This kid is rad”
“I will eat her” — about Gwenllian being mean to Noah
Lots of sad faces anytime Noah does anything
“Go look in a mirror, Ronan”
Lots of “oop” about pretty much anything revolving Blue/Gansey
“Aww, he’s a dad.” — about Ronan (though he’s more malewife tbh)
“Ronan Lynch is a LIAR”
Lots of notes on PTSD and how Gansey obviously has it
“If Whelk wasn’t already dead, I’d kill him”
“Letting Calla touch a ghost that’s been moving through time for 7 years seems like a very bad idea.”
“We get it! Gansey is the cutest boy that ever lived and has a huge heart! Whatever!”
“You can’t tell me that Gansey isn’t a little bi!”
“Here we go!” — about 6:21
“Just be poly”
“Fiat lux?? Amabo te??” Ronan’s latin is terrible
“Get him Adam!” Ronan’s latin is terrible pt. 2
Lots of notes about how Orphan Girl/Opal is a mirror of Adam and how Adam loves her and protects her bc he sees himself in her and how Ronan loves them both so much.
“Oh, Noah.” “My angel!” “bby :(“ “Noooo” (I’m a Noah stan through and through)
“Yo fuck this demon!”
“Sooo interesting that Piper kills Greenmantle with wasps right after Gansey puts himself in front of possessed Noah to protect Blue.”
“I love her. My toxic wife” — about Piper
“She was feeling a special sort of extravert. What? A narcissist?”
“Gansey, love, don’t start with ‘She’ll keep the eye.’”
“Stop flirting” — about Henry and Gansey
“Wooow. A korean criminal and we just learned Henry was kidnapped as a child bc of his mother?? No way that’s related at all!”
“Gasp” — Henry / Seondeok reveal
“Stop flirting” — about Ronan and Adam
“Seeee? Declan can be funny!”
“Adam saying ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’ and it’s just Ronan having to talk to Declan.”
“So Niall did the magical equivalent of a parent using their child’s social security to get a credit card.”
“About time” — about Blue realizing she’s a hypocrite
Lots of screaming about the kiss
Notes on racism and how Henry is Korean, not Chinese.
Lots of confusion bc I thought we (and the characters) already knew Ronan had dreamt Cabeswater, but everyone is acting like they didn’t know. But then Gansey mentions that HE also thought he already knew that? So more confusion.
A note about how Gansey tells Adam not to break Ronan and then a note about how off the rails Ronan goes in TDT bc Adam doesn’t text him back immediately.
“His native language is thought. That’s so powerful. Henry, I wish we got more of you.”
“Mr. Gray, put the gun away, he’s just a kid!”
“Laumonier rubs me the wrong way and I don’t know why. Like, yeah they’re criminals, and they’re Piper’s dad/uncles so there’s already something wrong with them, but there’s something super weird about them that goes beyond that. Weird vibes. Super weird vibes.”
A break down of “unguibus et rostro” and everything Adam could have meant by that.
“Yo FUCK this demon”
“Not Henry and Blue being immediately accepted by Gansey’s parents. You’re telling me they’re not poly????”
“Everyone knows and everyone knows that they know and nobody is saying it.” — about Gansey
I’ve studied both Korean and Latin (among other languages) and every time an author plays with linguistics or uses foreign words to describe something the characters or going through, I get so giddy. The section on 정 or jeong, and how easily Henry explains it to Gansey is probably one of my favorite parts. I have a whole break down over it in the margins followed by “just date already!!”
“Noah reliving his death over and over is just like Gansey having PTSD.” (I probably could do a lengthy post on this, but I will refrain)
“No!! (yes!!)” — about the sweater
“Yes! It was!!” — about the story being about Noah. (It’s not really, but it also really really is)
“I could write essays upon essays about you Noah. You are my tragic little boy, and I love you.”
There’s more, but I’m bored and have things to do. I already started on rereading TDT, so maybe I’ll do more posts on that series at some point.

Lets say Henry made a room for Ben at his house. Would Ben ever go to his house? I'm really curious about this, since, in 'Back to where it all Began' chapter 7, he mentioned something about making Ben a room. (If Henry made a room for ben) What would Henry put in it for him? Would he try to copy what June did for his room or go for something different? And how would they be if Ben came over, along with shadow? Would they act different around them?
I think it would take a lot of convincing to get Ben to stay with Henry. The only reason I say that is because they still have a lot of bad blood between them. There will be awkwardness between them. Bendy and Shadow would probably do things to break the ice. They'll try to get them to relax so it's not so tense around the house.
Henry doesn't have a problem with Shadow. He's even grateful to the ink cat for their help back at the studio. It would just be strange to have a cat that size roaming the house. Bendy certainly loves playing with them. Ben and Henry will just need time to get used to one another.
As for the room, Henry would try to get things he thinks Ben would need. He would make sure the demon would have choices in how he wants his room, just like he did with Bendy.
