    Summary

    “We survived monsters. I think we can survive one party.”

    “I mean,” Will says slowly, “we could go. Just for a bit.”

    That’s the deciding vote.

    Mike swallows hard, pride bruised and aching. He forces the jealousy down, packs it away somewhere tight and sharp in his chest, where it can’t spill out and make things worse. He nods once, stiffly, lips pressed into a thin line that he hopes passes for a smile.

    “Yeah,” he says, even though the word tastes bitter. “Sure, sounds fine.”

    or; Mike isn’t on board with going to that party, so he suggests staying in the basement to play instead, except this time, they actually go. And he is jealous.

    Summary

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    Summary

    “Does Angel Dust tend to nest in his suite?” Alastor asked without preamble.

    “Why’re you askin’ me?” Husk asked gruffly, briefly trying to feign ignorance. A single raised brow from Alastor was all it took to squash that recalcitrance out of him, his shoulders and wings dropping. “Yeah, yeah – fine. But why’re you askin’ me now? It ain’t like Angel’s gonna steal his own shit and pretend like it weren’t him. Besides, he ain’t anywhere close to bein’ in heat. It’s not him, boss.”

    *

    Items have been going missing around the hotel. Nothing of any value or consequence - just people's personal effects. Regardless of their importance, Alastor cannot simply stand by and let somebody rob folks in his territory, right under his nose.

    He sets out to catch the thief - and picks up a less than useful helper along the way in the form of one miniature monarch - but comes up empty handed. Empty handed, that is, until later that evening.

    With his past racing to catch up to him things and quickly spiraling out of his control, he might find that less than useful helper has a use after all.

    Summary

    He hadn’t even managed to put on shoes when Charlie’s loud, desolated groan at the other end of the hotel had made him rush out of his room, and his slippers and the hems of his pyjama bottoms were slowly getting soaked through. Why the fuck had he even bothered to change? He loved Charlie (see constants no. 1-4), but even he had to admit his current discomfort was solely the result of the list of healthy bedtime rituals she’d organised for him when, allegedly, the bags under his eyes had started developing a gravitational pull.

    In which Lucifer has insomnia, the hotel is moderately alive, and Alastor is in over his head.

    Summary

    Lucifer has always kept his distance from sinners. It's what keeps him (relatively) sane — if he gets too close, he is haunted by visions of the tragic mortal lives that landed them in Hell.

    But in his new life at the Hotel, it is more difficult than ever to stay away — and when it comes to light that his daughter's insufferable facilities manager is gravely wounded, it falls to Lucifer to deliver his soul from Death.

    In so doing, he falls headfirst into the sins, past lives, and heartbreaks of the one human whose contradictions he is powerless to resist.
