Summary
Husk thought he could outplay anyone. That no one could take anything from him that he wasn't willing to gamble with. He was wrong, and Angel paid the price for his arrogance.
Three weeks after Angel is taken, Husk finally finds him, alive, but beaten. As he frees Angel, Husk is forced to confront the weight of his pride, the cost of his failure, and the kind of monster he’s always known himself to be but never cared to confront until he met Angel.

There's a Heart Shaped Hole In My Chest, And Baby, You’ve Got The Bullet by Transparent_Existence
Fandoms: Hazbin Hotel (Cartoon)
13 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
Husk doesn’t usually hunt his own debtors, but tonight he’s restless, bored, and the casino’s thrills aren’t enough to fill the voids in his afterlife. Tracking a runner into a smoke-choked jazz club deep in Pentagram City, he expects a routine collection, instead, he finds Angel Dust.
Angel knows better then to tempt fate by flirting with men who collect souls, but he’s never been able to resist a challenge. And when the new face at the back of the bar isn’t instantly enamored with him, he takes it as one.
What starts as a momentary distraction in a smoky bar quickly leaves each of them feeling like they’re standing before a loaded gun and daring it to go off. Because sometimes the bullet doesn’t kill you, it just opens old wounds to new scars.

Summary
“If we’re gonna keep doing this,” Angel says quietly, “ya gotta promise me one thing.”

“Whatever happens,” he says, “stay away from the tower. If I’m late gettin’ home, if I don’t come home at all, don’t go lookin’ for me. Don’t come after me.” Angel takes the bottle from Husk’s hand, drains the rest, winces at the bitter taste. “Just stay here an’ wait for me to come back.”
~.~
Angel and Husk have been careful to hide their new relationship from everyone, but secrets don't stay secret forever, and once Valentino catches on he decides to have some fun at their expense.

23 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
The case is closed. The danger has passed. Their business together should be over.
But when Detective Jack Husker returns to his office to finish writing the report he finds something more enticing than paperwork waiting for him on his desk.

Summary
They said it was casual. Convinced themselves that it was nothing more.
Then touch became need, taste became memory, and every sound they made together started to ring differently. Husk smelled like a vintage memory, he tasted like spiced vices and warmth and every time Angel got close, he thought he’d happily drown in that cocktail of aromas. Angel's voice is gleeful melancholy, an old song playing off a love word record. A tune that Husk wants to keep stuck in his head for however long eternity is.
Casual has quickly become the wrong word for what they've built, and without it, both worry this can't last.

Summary
A week has passed since Husk stayed the night in Angel’s room, and neither of them has been the same since. Angel fears he pushed too far, that he’s become too much to handle. Husk fears he’s hurting Angel without meaning to and losing sight of their arrangment. And somewhere between the barstools and closed bedroom doors, they’ve lost track of what casual really means.
When Husk invites Angel to his room for the first time, it’s more than just another hookup. And what starts as an experiment in role reversal to give Angel the power he’s often denied becomes a challenge in maintaining the roles their agreement requires them to play.

Playing that first hit album on the jukebox, Husk waits for Angel to make his last tour through the city while remembering one-night stands that were never meant to mean anything but lingered like lipstick stains on a glass he never bothered to wipe clean.

Summary
There’s a birthday marked on the calendar, a cupcake in the corner drawn in soft black ink. The kind of simple note that's meant to reserve the day for joy, for balloons and laughter, for frosting kisses and candles flickering in tiny gusts of excited breath. But there’s no celebration waiting. No banner strung across the ceiling. No paper crowns or giggles echoing down the hallway. The oven is cold. But the silence is warm as a grave dug deep into my heart.
~.~
I'm emotional, so I'm writing about my daughter, who would have been six today.
