#i'm kidding (maybe) but valentino wouldn't be (perhaps)#it is a kiss btw sete makes the appropriate sound effect and everything. very sweet very wholesome very gracious loser tm#//#brr brr#he makes for such a good foil because he's also so... idk image conscious but rather than use it he tends to get in his own way#complete contrast in their later narrativisation because they both identify a different turning point in their rivalry#(and for MY money they're BOTH overshooting by a few races)#and both make it about unsportsmanlike conduct from the other party. thing is they couldn't have reacted more differently#vale has a tendency with some rivals to play down how central they were to his career and it's not a coincidence (imo) that the biggest -#- victims are the two he had the best relationship with. marc isn't the strongest rival he ever faced. sete is dismissed completely#(which biaggi is to some extent too in that he calls his later rivals stronger but at least he allows biaggi his place in vale's story)#and like... buddy. prime!vale had 14 points in hand over sete with 3 rounds to go let's not pretend it was THAT comfortable my man#but that's what he does! and then sete by contrast makes it about moral injury which is a more flattering story than -#- 'yea he drew some pentagons and lit some candles and chanted a bit in latin and after that my bike would run out of fuel on the last lap'#obviously the relative amount they've discussed it post end of rivalry is completely lopsided but that's true of all but one vale rivalry#all that being said obviously sete did make it way too easy for valentino lmao. the hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby of psychological warfare#curse tag

Good evening my dear!
When I tell you I audibly screamed when I read this request I mean it my dear! I despise Valentino and I adore this request! I did change some things because it didn't make much sense for the reader to just pop into the studio randomly and start going ham, so I went with some light backstory and causally gave the reader the found family treatment, anyways enjoy!

The Forgotten one
Reader fic,
Warnings!!
Mild torture {I say mild but limbs are getting ripped off, I don't go into detail and there isn't much of it but be warned!!} I'm imagining reader as an eldritch horror, This is literally just the reader murdering the grape guy horrendously, Reader ended up in eternal damnation for a reason! Also I'm imagining the reader to be British??? I don't know why, that was accidental but if you get British vibes that's why.
You died centuries ago, your generation laid long forgotten, you could barely remember your life before the black death had claimed it, you could just barely recall the high fever, hurling over in your cot and spitting out the blood that had gathered in your mouth.
You probably weren't the best person since you ended up here, maybe you were a tyrannical peasant? A murderer? A person of the night? A thief?
Maybe you had a family, maybe you were wedded, maybe you had kids, maybe you didn't.
Who knows, you certainly didn't.
You wondered if you will ever be able to recall those forgotten memories about your life.
All you knew is that you climbed the ranks quickly once you ended up in the underworld, gaining many souls, and power one could only dream of, becoming a feared overlord.
You've gone through many names, The dark one, the Wicked, The witch, the Warlock, A child of darkness, the devil's child, {That one didn't age well},
Most recently though you were deemed as the forgotten one, always lurking, watching, never coming out into the spotlight unless necessary, sending one of the souls you kept in your place while you hid in your castle.
However decades of solitude gets rather boring,
So you decided to go out, see what was new, after all when was the last time you were out and about? The 70's? Oh you adored the results of that decade.
Well venturing out turned out to be such treat! Turns out that fellow who adored ducks's charming daughter opened a hotel to redeem sinners! Oh how darling it was!
You popped in to visit it, finding the residents quite lovely, you simply adored how Charlie thought that you of all sinners could be redeemed! It was quite a foolish thought
But you liked that hotel along with it's lovely little residents,and if playing along with the Princess's delusions of you getting redeemed after so, so many harsh years, would let you stay in that hotel and cure your boredom then it wouldn't hurt to entertain that foolish thought now would it?
And so you stayed as one of the residents on the path of so-called redemption!
you got along well enough with the others, although Vaggie and Alastor were suspicious of you at first, although you and Alastor got along well after bonding over how the noisy picture box was overrated, it had wow'd you at first but that quickly faded as it progressed,
It took Vaggie awhile to trust you, but after you had taught her some of the skills you had picked up in your lifetime you became like a parental figure to the woman, which played out well as Charlie was already quite fond of you,
You had practically proclaimed them both as your daughter and daughter in law, you adored them both, baking them treats, gifting Vaggie a pair of some type weapon, giving Charlie something related to unicorns, or a joint gift for them,
You quite liked their reactions upon receiving something they liked,
You liked seeing them happy a little too much, so much that you started giving the others things you thought they might like, expensive alcohol for Husk, shiny sharp knifes to hunt bugs down with for dear niffty, vintage radios for Alastor, tools and things for inventing for Sir Pentious, and matching clothes for Fat nuggets and Angel for Angel dust,
You liked seeing their expressions when they liked something, it gave a warm, bubbly feeling in your stomach,
You liked spending time with everyone too.
Chatting at the bar with husk, Angel dust explaining things to you that you don't know, watching your fellow residents sleep with Sir Pentious, sparring with Vaggie, scrapbooking with Charlie, watching one of Niffty's roach puppet shows, taking a trip to cannibal town with Alastor to visit Rosie,
You slowly began seeing the hotel residents like family, you didn't have a family, or at least you didn't anymore so you don't know exactly how they worked but you thought that this was good enough,
They were your beloved family now, formed from delusional hope,
and you were their family reborn from a forgotten era, burned to ashes and thrown to the dark pits filled with brimstone, sin and death.
You'd do anything for them, you'd die for them, you'd live for them, and you'd kill for them, they most definitely were your family now.
And you typically protect family, right?
Right?
You heard about what happened in Valentino's studio with Angel dust, the bruises.
You were displeased,
More then displeased you were upset, you were angry, how long has it been since you were this angry how dare someone lay a hand on your dear family member?
You waited until the majority of the hotel were asleep, most notably Angel,
You made up an excuse to go out, saying you had to check up on your castle after all you had unfortunate sinners working there and they're headless chickens without you!
Charlie told you to stay safe before she went up to bed with Vaggie.
You would be safe!
fortunately though, a certain Vee, would not be safe.
You did stop by your castle, to grab a spear with Angelic steel, you mentally thanked yourself for grabbing it a several extermination days ago,
You twirled it in your hand before a large sinister grin over took your face.
It had been awhile since you were out for blood.
Getting into the Vee's tower was disappointingly easy! Scaling up the wall and breaking a window? Child's play!
What wasn't easy was finding Valentino, the bald pimp moth guy, you had to look through several rooms, why did they have so many rooms? Did they even need these???
Nevermind all that, after searching for an inconvenient amount of time,
you finally found the one that had dared to harm your dear family member, you tilted your head as Valentino squinted to see who you were, unraveling his wings once he didn't recognize you.
He didn't look like much, he was tall, red eyes, and he looked like a grape with wings, the grimaced, oh poor Angel Dust, he had to look at this everytime he went to work!
Thankfully after this he didn't need too, you twitched, transforming into a more demonic form.
"Who the fu-"
He didn't get to finish the sentence as you swiftly kicked him in the kneecap causing him to fall, cursing you and wincing at the sudden pain in his knee, taking that moment you kicked him again, this time on his side, pushing him properly on the ground, placing your shoe on his ribcage you began to slowly crush his rib, grinning at the beginnings of a cracking noise
Unfortunately the little grape screamed out for the TV fucker to appear,
You could hear the sound of cables getting ripped out and the sound of footsteps.
"Val, what is it this time? Is it about angel dust again, I- ShIT VaL, wHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?''
And the TV man makes an entrance shouting, how annoying, well you could always deal with him later, raising your hand pitch black inky tentrals came out from beside you, wrapping the TV headed man and attaching him onto the couch.
Returning your focus to the soon to be deceased, again, grape
You bent down to wrap a claw onto his wing,
It was soft, maybe you could make something for Niffty with it, a blanket perhaps? Or maybe a coat?
You pulled out the wing as Valentino screamed out in pain, blood splattering onto you, the floor and the walls,
a door swung open behind you before quickly being closed, just barely leaving a gap for a phone camera to sneak though, the owner of the phone looked on in horror.
You kicked Valentino over causing him to hiss and groan as he now laid on his stomach, how unfortunate for him, who knew that if you horrendously abused your employees an centuries old overlord would be out for your blood!
You grinned at how helpless he was now, how pitiful!
You grabbed one of his arms and pulled, nerves and muscles separated and blood leaked out.
Vox looked on in complete and utter horror, he couldn't do anything,
Would he be next?
The Vee's floor was destroyed, Valentino was shredded and separated, stabbed in the head with the angelic steel you had brought along as to ensure he would NOT be coming back.
Both of his wings were folded and set neatly on the counter away from the carnage, after all if you were to make Dear Niffty something with them they had to be clean, mostly, you'd have to clean them again, who knows what diseases that man was carrying, Yuck!
You took some of the carnage and place them into containers before putting them in a bag to carry with you, you tucked the detached wings under your arm, dusting yourself off you checked the digital clock on the wall,
You should get back quickly, they'll be up soon.
Moving around the broken glass and furniture that had gotten caught up in the downfall of Valentino you made your way out the door,
You let Vox free from your tendrils, hearing him move to possibly inspect the remains of his business partner and whatever else.
You wonder if the third one was still recording?
Oh well, that's none of your concern,
You knocked things over, shattered, torn and destroyed anything you could get your hands on as you went down the Vee's tower, destroying what you could.
At the bottom floor a box of fireworks caught your eye, you supposed it was for one of the Vee's something, maybe Velvette's fashion thing or one of the skinned grape's filthy films,
Well either way, you were going to borrow the fireworks, set them up on the ground floor and light em' up,
The fireworks boomed onto the floor, sparkling and bursting into flames, burning and sizzling anything it could get it's clutches on.
You left swiftly after, getting bored, and you were practically done anyways.
You should head home now, and stop by your castle to dispose of that spear.
You hummed as you moved around the kitchen swinging a spatula around on your finger before checking on the meat that was beginning to brown in the pan,
"Good Morning [Name!]"
Charlie popped into the kitchen, turning your head to her, you smiled at her,
"Morning Dear Charlie, I'm preparing breakfast for everyone, French toast for the majority and I picked up some fresh demon meat to make something else for Dear Alastor since he doesn't like sweet things,"
"Really? That's so sweet of you!''
"Mhm, It's nothing, But be a dear and call everyone to the dining room so they can feast?"
You ask tilting your head as Charlie nodded with a 'Yes!' before hopping off to gather everyone for breakfast.
You turn back to the stove, poking your spatula into the simmering remains of Valentino, hopefully the peppers and seasons make him taste decent, you would hate for everyone else to enjoy their food and Alastor be the only one to not enjoy the meal.
Hopefully they didn't suspect you when the news covers Valentino's demise and the destroyed tower.
You are not a good person by any means, you were condemned for a reason, this all started to sooth your boredom, you can NEVER be redeemed....
Or could you?
Maybe this little makeshift family that you desperately want to protect could change you, make you a better person.
It was a foolish thought, but as long as you can make them a mildly concerning breakfast, spend time with them, give them trinkets you think they would like, you were willing to entertain that foolish thought, more then willingly.

Thank you for tuning in folks! I'm working on those Susan requests and the other WIPS I have in my pocket so look forward to those!
