#tech savvy alastor

[shizukasobsessions]

Noticed that you seemed really interested in that little tech savvy Alastor au I wrote and just wanted to say you made me want to write a part 2 despite already having so many other aus past their due date, just saying that I was planning on leaving at that but since you didn't like the cliffhanger I decided to write another ask. Might take some time but bear with me here. Thanks for your reblogs!

~☆

Hello there!

I'm very happy that I made you wanting to add more to this AU! And I'm very excited to read what you come up with.

But please don't feel obligated to. I've been in fandom long enough, so I can deal with cliffhangers by now xD

My interest in your AU was further fuel, because I had similar thoughts weeks prior. In a nunalastor ask another anon mentioned Alastor's relationship with tech as a side note but somehow I zeroed in on that and even wrote a little headcanon myself. That was before I was aware your AU even existed. So finding the tag and your asks only added fuel to my smouldering coals xD

If you're interested you can read it here:

https://www.tumblr.com/shizukasobsessions/747593328032382976/i-like-to-think-that-as-much-as-he-tries-to-deny

But mind you it contains shipping content for implied two-sided radiostatic. So I can understand if you don't want to engage in that content.

Anyway thank you again for contacting me. I'll be patiently waiting for your next ideas when you have enough time!

Have a lovely day/night! <3

WE NEED MORE TECH SAVVY ALASTOR

Tech savvy Alastor

For weeks Lucifers phone has been messed with everything from his ringtone to his contacts have been changed. On one memorable occasion his pass code was changed and it took him 3 hours to find the new code that was written on the inside of his case. When he finally says enough is enough and sets a trap he finds Alastor with his phone. Thinking that he had won he confronts Alastor only for Alastor to laugh and say no one will ever believe you.

Unfortunately, Alastor was right. Lucifer goes to Charlie and tells her what Al has been doing and Charlie looks at her dad with concern and tells him he should go to sleep if he's seeing things. It's not just Charlie either! Everyone in the hote gives some form of the same advice!

When Lucifer insists he saw what he saw Charlie gives him a look and says that last week Alastor accidentally destroyed the TV because he was trying to turn it off and instead rouse the volume which startled him and led to the TV being a carcass.

Meanwhile Alastor is watching all this go done with a smug smile on his face. No one knows it's smug but Lucifer knows it's smug.

The TV incident was 100% intentional. One morning Alastor saw Vox take control of it and he destroyed it cause now it was corrupted.

[kanhotep]

Alastor would love to have a computer because while he still thinky vinyl is the superior medium for music he can't deny that it's more effective to have a digital music library.

He could also built a computer easily, the hardware is no problem for him.

Unfortunately he stopped keeping up with programming in the 60ies, there was just so much going on. And now he can't get any software that is not in some way connected to Vox he doesn't want to admit it, because he's the radio demon, this frivolous digital technology is beneath him, but there is a little part of him that is pissed about it.

Definitely pissed.

And in no way whatsoever melancholic, reminiscing of a past when he and Vox would build them together, Alastor working on the hardware and Vox doing the software.

A past where such actions were meant to be a pleasant hobby, a nice way to pass the time and not a commitment to an unreliable lifestyle that chained itself to whatever new trend arose.

No, he could never miss this old flight of fancy. But he can admit, that he misses the old Vox. His old chum used to be a nice company rather than a persistent annoyance.

[jyoongim]

Themes: posessiveness, slight yandere behavior, mentions of cannibalism, softcore smut,

After 7 years the Radio Demon is back!

But things arent how he left them…

Vox has taken it upon himself to be in charge of all things media

Radio has turned to Video

And Alastor’s little darling aint in her place…oh that just wont do

Your relationship with the Radio Demon was like a match made in Hell.

Alastor was a wild card by himself alone, but you? You never failed to keep him on his hooves?

You had been in the media world looong before Alastor popped up in Hell, having the title (ironic) Media Demon but somehow he managed to bring back the old themes that were once appreciated.

Not those podcasts or vlogs the youth were so prone to do

But things from the good old days.

Things that were considered ancient in the sense of modern tech.

Radio; Talk shows and actual live broadcasts.

Alastor and you quickly rose in popularity in the media realm [(you had a sneaky suspicion it was because he was terrifying and people honesty clung to an overlord’s word)]

You and Alastor had separate broadcasts, but you worked perfectly in sync with one another. Until one day…the Radio Demon disappeared, leaving you to run your show alone.

You did what you could, but the people seemed to miss the charismatic broadcaster as much as you and soon you were approached by Video.

“C’mon y/n, This will be a great improvement to your brand.” Vox smirked as you sipped the tea you were offered. You frowned. You were aware that media came in all formats but you enjoyed the ‘old’ way. “I dont know Vox, i prefer to be out of the camera’s eye” you said. Vox had been begging for years for you to join his team and claiming it would ‘boost’ your reputation. You didnt need a boost. You were THE Media Demon. If anything, you knew it would boost HIS popularity.

“Radio is so old-fashion, video is the future! You should be up to date with these things” he said. You grimaced “i am well aware of the trends, but not everyone likes this new savvy way, it is good to have a little variety”

Vox was getting annoyed.

Having you on the Vees would not only boost his claim to fame, but it would boost his power.

“The people would love to see the Media Demon in the public eye. You use to sing right? How about music production? You would kill sales with that voice of yours”

He was trying to butter you up.

Everyone knew you were a renown singer. A popstar once. You only showcased it a few times broadcasting when it was late at night and were in a mood.

Alastor loved to hear you sing.

“If you made videos people, your image can skyrocket” he continued.

You set your cup down, standing, having heard enough.

“I appreciate the offer Vox, but I will decline. I quite like stereo” and with that you left.

You made your way to the Hazbin Hotel.

To Alastor’s radio tower.

You sighed as you sat and stared at the station.

Maybe i should take Vox’s offer you thought as you collected your topics and put your headphones on.

You turned on the radio and did a count set

“How ya doin tonight folks? Its your favorite radio host and tonight you are in for a treat!” you gave the daily Hell gossip and opened the line for discussions. Letting out a laugh from a few of the responses you finally sighed “I have been offered the damning chance to retire from radio” you started. “I am sure you are all aware that I am fabulous of course, but i mean reverting to video can you imagine? And the audacity of Vox to even suggest just a thing. I think i do quite alright for a media connoisseur” you giggled.

As you chatted away you were unaware of the dark presence manifesting in the tower.

“Dial in im opening the lines to hear your opinions”

You listened in

“I think it could be good to switch it up!”

“Youre the Media Demon you could crush anything!”

“Y/n youre incredible!”

“Video kills the Radio star!”

You were about to chime in when a deep static like voice sounded

“I think you mean Radio killed the Video star”

Your eyes widened and spun around to see Alastor

“A-Alastor?”

His devilish smile sharpened as he pressed a button to cut the lines and removed your headphones “its been a while darling”

You couldnt help yourself as you launched at him for a hug.

You quickly recovered and let him go, stuttering “oh oh im sorry but w-what are you doing here? I-i thought you were gone”

Alastor grinned, bringing your hand up to his lips to press a kiss to it

“Ooooh mon cher i could never stay away from you”

You blushed.

Alastor pulled you into an embrace, his grip a little tight

“So what it is i hear of you forsaking radio?”

Charlastor Week - Day 7 - Free Day

 An AU where Charlie and Alastor are podcasters. 🎙️ This one has been percolating in my brain for a while! Plot summary under the cut.

Alastor is the OG overlord of true crime. Back in his college days, he and his roommate Vox started what would become one of the first ever podcasts. With Vox’s tech savviness and Alastor’s knack for dramatic storytelling, The Hazbin Radio Program quickly became the podcast playing in every commuter’s car, gym bro’s headphones, and office jockey’s earbuds. Focusing on crimes where the victim “deserved what they got” might be controversial, but Alastor’s jazzy interludes and old timey radio schtick add a certain kind of whimsy to every episode.

As Vox grew their dorm room recordings into a digital media empire, Alastor struggled to remain authentic in a world being rapidly consumed by social media and influencer culture. The two friends had a huge falling out. Knowing it would mean death for his beloved radio program if he didn’t stay, Alastor remained under contract with Voxtek Entertainment. Years later, his listenership is dwindling, his sponsors are dropping like flies, and his desperation is stronger than ever to finally break away and have complete creative control of his show.

Charlie has big dreams, a bigger heart, and a behemoth of a family legacy she’s trying to separate herself from. The Morningstar family name is synonymous with pain and punishment, as their network of for-profit prisons house nearly every incarcerated individual in the country. But Charlie refuses to let her rich and influential father buy her way into the industry. The Happy Podcast’s moderate success was due to her hard work, passion, and the secondhand recording equipment she bought with her own money. Like every amateur influencer, she dreams of landing a contract with VoxTek Entertainment. Not for the bragging rights or all those sweet endorsement deals, but because she truly believes that her podcast can inspire her listeners to be better people.

The Happy Podcast is a mix of self-help, advocacy, social commentary, and whatever else Charlie feels passionate about that week. This can sometimes cause a bit of controversy, like when her strong feelings about prison reform lead to an unhinged rant about why a recently imprisoned axe murderer “deserves a second chance” because “he was a good guy who volunteered at his local animal shelter”. Despite this, she still snags an invite to the annual VTE Summit and is hoping to get some facetime with the media mogul himself.

It’s at the VTE Summit that Alastor and Charlie meet. Charlie is as starstruck as she is charmed by the mystery man behind her favorite guilty pleasure podcast. Alastor finds himself instantly drawn to the bubbly young woman who knows a surprising amount about true crime. In a cesspool of wannabe celebrities and people who would sell their soul for a brand deal, she feels like the only other person who’s in it for the craft and the content, not the clout.

Be it fate, coincidence, or a bit of meddling on Alastor’s part, they continue to cross paths and eventually agree to help each other out. Alastor teaches Charlie the art of presentation and storytelling while she brings his technical skills into the 21st century so he can start producing his podcast on his own.

As the pair dance around their feelings and look for any excuse to spend time with each other, Charlie asks Alastor to be a guest on her show. It goes so well, he asks her to be a guest on his. Even their audiences can’t deny the chemistry between them. No one would have thought this odd pair of podcasts would work so well together, but the sky-rocketed ratings and influx of sponsorships speak for themselves.

They both are soon to get everything they always wanted. That is, until Charlie starts to wonder exactly how Alastor knows so much about the victims he discusses on his show.

[kanhotep]

It doesn't help that we don't see Alastor engage with WiFi or Bluetooth or the like because c'mon Radioboy, that shit's gotta be right up your domaine😂

Not to mention that computer science used to be a prevalent female area and we know Alastor is particularly fond of women.

So yesss, I too will die on the "Alastor is tech savvy hill".

Unless he's less interested in radio technology and more into the entertainment style.

Cuz I gotta, we don't make radio like that anymore 🥲

Alastor doesn’t hate modern technology, he hates TV because he Vox

I mean, come on, he was a radio host in life during a time when radio was so new most people didn’t even have them in their homes. The very first radio station in the USA put out its first broadcast when he was, like, 20. His greatest artistic passion is something that would classify him as a tech geek by most standards.

+

Vox refers to him as being outmoded not because Alastor “refuses to use modern technology” but because Vox considers his domain as outdated and also the Vees thrive solely on ratings and engagement so he’s also trying to turn public opinion against any entertainment that isn’t them

What I’m saying is Vox’s propaganda worked so well it even convinced the fandom

[dewdr0pz-alt]

goin' back to old yazoo 𝜗𝜚 ‧₊˚ ⊹

summary: headcanons about Vox with an old-fashioned reader (like Alastor)

warnings: Vox is a bit of a stalker, mentions of Valentino, one mention of slavery from Valentino (talking about the reader's time), reader is an overlord (not really a warning but just a heads-up), Vox being a little jealous

a/n: hello, readers (i need to think of a name for you guys lol)! i know this wasn't requested, but i played Bad Parenting recently and the intro song has been stuck in my head for days 😭

tags: (as always, just tagging a few people i think would be interested in this, please let me know if you would like to be on or off of the taglist!) @o-kye @zuuriell @strangleetomz@ax-y10 @stars-around-scars-collective@blu3-lemonad3@myheartticks@mochamuff1n@unbeleevable@danvstheworld @radio-to-trenchcoat-demons @average-vibe @back-totheoldhouse @prettysinners @lovevxle

(listen to this while reading if you want!)

When Vox first saw you at an overlord meeting, he was pissed. Was there another one like Alastor?

He took a little bit of a liking to you when you retorted back at him when he made a passive-aggressive comment about you.

^^ "How'd you even get here? You probably don't even own a cellphone or a car with your old-timey ass. I bet you don't even know what those are." "First of all, cars were invented in the 1920s, so I know of their existence. Second, just because I'm old-fashioned doesn't mean I'm stupid or incapable. Being a tech-savvy businessman doesn't make you smart; I'd say all that screen usage has fried what's left of your brain, Mr. Vox."

You two eventually became friends and even let him ramble about his technology (even though it took a little explaining)!

I think he'd realize at some point that you weren't as interested about technology as he was and would be fine with letting you talk about things from your era.

If you two started dating, at first he might try to make you dress in a more "modern" way to better suit his brand, but soon enough he'd just let you dress however you wanted (he would love it if you had a blue flapper dress 🤭)

He wouldn't try to explain security cameras to you (he wouldn't want you to know that he watches you whenever you leave the house), which he claims is "just to make sure you're safe"

I think Vox would eventually become a know-it-all about your era

^^ "So like...wasn't there slavery in the 20s, cariño?" "Actually (🤓☝️), Val, slavery was abolished in 1865." "I was asking Y/N, Voxxy." "I don't care. Get educated."

He would for sure dance with you to vinyl records of your favorite songs to give you a feel of nostalgia <3

PLEASE TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOYR HAZBIN AU

So Vox is an angel, does that change anything about him on an emotional level ? (Like when he sees religious imagery, does it make him feel anything ‘inexplicably’?) Does his one sided rivalry with Alastor stay the same ? What’s the relationship like between the three Vs? Whatre his thoughts on Velvette’s church?

Angel’s in charge of the family mafia huh? So he must be pretty powerful… Does Val still have power over him or are they on more equal footing ?

So Vox is an angel, does that change anything about him on an emotional level ? (Like when he sees religious imagery, does it make him feel anything ‘inexplicably’?)

- Any mentions of religious imagery, especially christianity, make him a bit.. twitchy, but never the less, it doesn't bother him as much.

Vox can often come off as one; "oblivious" to the fact that he's an angel It essentially became a rule in hell to not mention that fact around him. Two; "passive," but everyone associated with him knows it's a bunch of horseshit and loves to mess with people once they realize it.

Does his one sided rivalry with Alastor stay the same?

- There's still a rivalry, albiet for different reasons.

Alastor: "People always say that I strike fear in everyone's soul, *cue laugh track* Hahaha! If only I knew what it felt like, correction if only I knew what anything felt like anymore! *cue laugh track*"

One of Hell's punishments that was inflicted on Al was the inability to feel anything because he was enjoying his time a serial killer a little too much. Because of this, he becomes severely bored years to come since what's the point in causing a lot of chaos when you can't feel anything from it? Now, don't get me wrong, he's still a heavily feared overlord, but now he's just so bored with a lot of things in Hell.

But then Vox came along. He essentially puts dread in everyone's stomachs because it's very likely he's a one-way ticket to getting yourself permanently killed without a cleanse happening. Alastor actually gets intrigued by him and thus starts their rivalry, it focus less on. "Radio vs TV" and more on, "He's very dangerous and could end me for good, he's the only one the peaked my interest and perhaps maybe give me the ability to feel fear."

Sure, there are exorcists, but all of them evenually leave anyway, too squirmy and skitterish for Alastor's taste.

But Vox just strides in everywhere like he owns the place, without even a little smidge of fright and treats everything like a game.

What’s the relationship like between the three Vs? Whatre his thoughts on Velvette’s church?

- Vox & Valentino: Both have been married for fifty years and it's still counting, as seen in the show it's implied that Vox has to calm down Val a lot of the time when he has a temper, this AU switches that. SHAU!Val isn't dumb enough to let Vox's temper get the better of him, because how knows what would happen if there's a pissed off angelic overlord. (Thank the lord it doesn't happen often.)

OG!Vox butters up OG!Val

SHAU!Val does it instead

OG!Val intentionally withheld information about Alastor coming back so he could push OG!Vox's buttons

SHAU!Val doesn't even entertain the idea

Yeah, Val can be a bit trigger happy, but he's not outright suicidal.

Valentino & Velvette: Both of them hold each other in high regard but aren't as close with one other since Val doesn't focus much on social media. Valentino is a very direct guy. The only Voxtagram posts you're getting from him are photos of sinners with holy bullets in their skulls as a warning to whoever crosses him. Velvette and her little cult of followers take a step further to spread the message, too. Essentially, she's on top when it comes to information around social media.

Velvette & Vox: Both being tech savvy, they get along quite well. While Vox controls all of the internet and anything tech in hell, he's more focused on the business side of things and selling products, when a new product sells, Velvette makes it so the message spreads further.

Angel’s in charge of the family mafia huh? So he must be pretty powerful… Does Val still have power over him or are they on more equal footing ?

Since the church is used a ploy to lure more sinners into their power, Vox finds a lot of assumentment in it and often times indulges in entering the church to heighten her claims and further reel sinners in.

If anyone wants more info, please send an ask! :)

- Sadly, Angel is still under a contract with Val, fortunately though they more-or-less have respect for each other. Angel finds it hilariously ironic that he's right-hand man to a moth when he's the spider here.

[niiwa-angel]

The Vees are all, independently, smart, but the three of them together? Dumbest motherfuckers alive.

Velvette 'youngest overlord in history' is incredibly perspective. She noticed that Carmilla was the one who killed the angel just by watching her body movements. But her tactic for dealing with Valentino when he's ripping apart her models? Yell at him, dump fuel on the fire.

Valentino 'owns tons of souls and gets them through manipulation' is good at making people believe what he wants them to believe. He's violent and probably the 'muscle' of the three. He bedazzles his guns while in a meeting with the three of them.

Vox 'embodiment of capitalism' who is incredibly tech savvy and who recognizes the potential danger of Alastor and Charlie making a deal, dumps fuel on the fire with Velvette when she's mad at Val.

Just imagine these three living together.

Val: So I know the box says to cook the muffins at 320 but 420 is funnier so that's what we're doing.

Velvette: no no, cook them at 320 but cook them for 69 minutes.

Vox: Vel, you're a fucking genius.

~~~

Vox: Alastor is a radio demon!! He probably can't get wet! We'll flood the hotel!

Vel and Val: 👍👍

Nevermind the fact that Vox is a television and he can get wet. No, obviously the deer demon who's medium is radios is going to be weak to water.

~~~

Velvette: hypothetically, how bad is telling other overlords to go fuck themselves?

Vox: it's a bad idea but it's also funny as fuck.

Val: lick their arms, they love that.

[pokelolmc]

One of my new favourite Hazbin Hotel fic AUs is this weird crossover niche of "Alastor is/was a character from another fandom, before he snapped and became who he is today" AUs, eg. "Harry Potter becomes Alastor", and one random "Tim Drake becomes Alastor" fic I found on AO3. Because I find it interesting to try and figure out how to meld the other character's backstory, powers or personality with his.

And that inevitably led my traitorous brain to the idea of "Danny Fenton becomes Alastor" (because now DP and DC are forever associated in my lizard brain, curse you Phandom!).

Which is just...the weirdest thing ever, because they're just so different—like, how the fuck do you set up Danny to become Alastor, of all people?! It feels like the most unfitting character to do this with...

And that's exactly what my brain has decided to see it as a challenge.

Added caveat: this is an AU!Danny specifically from a generic angsty dissection fic scenario, where he's been traumatised by his parents and fucked over by the world (and he has no healthy way to cope)—then he's sent back in time, lost and completely alone

-Danny falls through a natural portal to 1900's Louisiana with no way back (something something, Clockwork's-out-of-the-picture, something something)

-Alastor being a mama's boy? Danny gets taken in by a loving mother figure after getting lost in time—a kind woman familiar with the supernatural who accepts his ghost half right off the bat. He sees her as his family. After a year or so, though, she dies. He spirals again. He dyes his hair brown and starts wearing glasses when he runs away to New Orleans to change himself and cover his tracks.

-Alastor feels like an interesting name for Danny to choose because it means "the avenger", and can also mean "defender of the people" (a meaning more apparent in the Scottish version "Alasdair/Alastair"), but could also have a negative connotation of "persecutor"; the character symbolism writes itself

-the normally tech-savvy Danny who finds old-timey stuff boring would be forced to find something to entertain himself in the 1900's. So he gravitates towards radio, with it being the closest thing he's got to modern tech. Give him several years or so to grow attached to it and enjoy the idea of working in it. He goes from fantasising of radio comms at NASA to a public radio host, playing with all the fancy knobs and dials.

-his ghost half is the reason Alastor's powers/magic in Hell is green

(also I heard someone say the typical human!Alastor design has the "Timmy Turner hairstyle", which I can't unsee now. And it's Danny's hairstyle too. Because we know how well Butch Hartman and originality mix. Male protagonist? There's only one hairstyle for that!)

-he becomes a serial killer because he's snapped over the years after all the shit that's happened to him; he's developed a bitter, cynical and self-aggrandised ego and thirst for justice and revenge, and he's all alone with no one to keep him out of the dark echo chamber leading to villainy

-a serial killer with ghost powers plays cat-and-mouse with cops, and never leaves a trace; before he starts killing, he's already made deals with and intimidated the ghosts that come to New Orleans through other natural portals (it's a portal hotspot) under a new ghostly persona. He has both sides of the city fearing or respecting his power. Every ghost who goes to New Orleans knows whose territory it is. They just never link the ghost and human together. He becomes like an even worse Plasmius. It sets him up for Overlord stuff in Hell from the getgo

-the cannibalism was a...happy accident. On a whim, he decided one guy's crime was too insufferable to die without torment, so he took the guy back and...tortured him the way his ol' folks knew best. He starts cutting people open as if trying to relive what his parents did to him, but from the other end—as the person with all the power. Taste-testing what he cut up came incidentally, but he decided he didn't mind it and made it a routine.

I can imagine a villain!Danny with more narcissistic tendencies, but my main trouble is where the overblown confidence and charming/manipulative skills come from. After all, Danny's pretty socially awkward. How exactly does he grow into that?

[sunsetmountainlion]

Hello just wanted to know, in the Eve's Garden AU. What does Eve think of the other Overlords?

Almost all of her information about them comes from Cain, who’s the most involved in the overlord scene of the family, the news which she doesn’t watch often, and the newer residents of the Garden. But it’s enough she does have opinions on them all. (I’m only including overlords we actually know stuff about.)

Zestial: He’s the only living overlord she’s met in person. Upon learning of the Garden he began making a habit of sending any children, sinner or Hellborn, that wandered into his territory over to her. After a pattern emerged she asked to meet up and they had a lovely chat over some tea. Shes not a fan of everything he does but he has a moral code, including not hurting or terrorizing children, and they have a mutual respect for each other.

Carmilla: She holds respect for Carmilla despite having never met her. Cain told her about what he observed of Carmilla, Odette, and Clara and how he definitely gets strong motherly vibes off of Carmilla, and Eve is quick to respect another mom trying to protect her kids from the dangers of Hell. She’s even purchased some Carmine weapons to arm the Garden’s guards.

Valentino: If he shows his face within two hundred feet of the farmland’s borders he’s getting a blessed bullet through the skull.

Velvette: To someone as old as Eve, Velvette comes off as a bratty, obnoxious child trying to make herself seem bigger and stronger than she actually is. Eve watched one video of her and declared, “she has a mountain of insecurities she’s hiding behind that act.”

Vox: Eve is mainly aware of him because of the threat of him getting into the Garden’s servers, but she has a lot of tech savvy sinners working to keep their stuff safe from his influence. Other than that she just sees him as kinda sad after the whole Vox VS Alastor thing. He’s obviously got some weird one sided crush on him and can’t move on.

Rosie: Cannibal Town and the Garden are actually remarkably similar in many ways. While Cannibal Town is much more violent it also has its own code of morals and is one of the better places to live as long as you abide by its rules. While Eve doesn’t like the whole cannibalism thing she thinks that if she and Rosie ever met they could get along.

Alastor: When he first began making a name for himself she was prepared to fight him should he attempt to target her or her sons, but she’s never actually seen him as a true threat. A lot of his attitude comes off as showboating to her, a dog barking its head off to hide its filed teeth and tucked tail. She wonders if his bite can really back up his bark.

STATICRADIO FIC RECOMMENDATIONS

Ever since I’ve finished watching Hazbin Hotel, I’ve been absolutely obsessed with these two and their dynamic, as a result, I have been researching and stocking up on good (dare I say exquisite) fanfictions about these two psychopaths…so why not share my library with people who want it (ik there are some out there 🫵)

Also some things I need to mention:

Most of the fics recommended are gonna be very Vox and Alastor centered (Ofcourse with background and/or side pairs)

This list is not in any particular order and is also based on what I find good and satisfies my personal preferences when it comes to these two, so some of these may not be to your liking, but I still hope you can find at least one that you can enjoy!

all fanfics mentioned are sourced from Ao3

Most are either incomplete, ongoing, or just haven’t updated in a long time, BUT THEYR ARE STILL SO GOOD AND WORTH READING 🙏

Alastor, Altruist, Died for his Friends. That was the headline. Vox made sure it was plastered all over Hell the moment he'd seen that demon flee for his life. After he remained missing, Vox accepted that he really was dead. Dead and gone. No rival. He and the Vees were now free to rule Hell as the Overlords they'd always dreamed of being, and the plans were finally in motion.

Then Vox went out for donuts, and everything came crashing down. Because Alastor wasn't dead.

Chapters 6/19

After his crushing defeat at the hands of Alastor, Vox decides he needs to take a more hands-on approach in order to destroy the Radio Demon.

Of course, his best course of action is to exploit the other’s weaknesses… if he has any.

The only problem is that means Vox might have to get a bit closer to Alastor than he previously thought (in more than just one way).

———

Or; Vox finds out the Radio Demon’s true weakness — affection.

Chapters 13/14

Vox has never danced much, and certainly never with another male. He’s a little nervous, but Alastor’s here. He looks at the man’s face, and they’re about the same height. He’s still smiling. He smells like rot and decay and blood, but everyone does, at least a little. Vox can hear the static cackle in the air.

He wants to kiss him.

He doesn’t, not yet. But he wants to.

Throughout the years, things change with Vox and Alastor, and they stay the same, too.

Five Times Vox and Alastor Danced and One Time They Didn't

“I say, good fellow, what are you doing on the ground like that?”

The voice was perky, cheerful, and bright. It had a crisp mid-Atlantic accent, the kind Vox remembered being all the rage for stage and film performers back when he first entered the broadcast industry. The diction was crystal clear with every sound enunciated separately to maximise clarity, the consonants clicked and the vowels were broad. It was a performer’s voice.

A voice for radio.

...

Five times Vox and Alastor danced and one time Vox and Alastor didn't.

From their first meeting through their friendship, to their enmity and fighting. From infatuation to yearning to animosity. Dancing is a partnership, is it not?

Oh shit.

Chapters 1/1

Vox is haunted by his choices years after the fact. Nights when the static in his head got too loud, when he couldn't breathe, however artificial it was, where he grabbed that radio by his bedside and fiddled with the dials, looking for any present shows, any sign of his voice.

Nothing.

This absence was killing him, again.

Once Alastor’s back made contact with the brick wall and he had nowhere else to go, his smile more of a gruesome snarl with the corners of his mouth still tipped up in a mock smile and eyes radio dials, Vox was able to get close enough to notice a slight shade difference in his red shirt, just below his shoulder. His lower lip looked more swollen than normal too- no, Vox would not be admitting to knowing what shape it usually was to anyone besides himself- causing him to frown.

“You’re a great friend,” Vox said sincerely, placing a hand over the one on his frame, leaning into the touch. “Thank you, Alastor.”

“You’re welcome, Vox.”

Chapters 4/?

“Help…”

The image of Alastor trying to crawl on his wounded stomach, those delicate fingers curling helplessly in air, reaching towards Vox — a smile stitched-up and eyes that screamed — the essence of a soul that twisted on the palm. Help, the fragment of Alastor’s soul had pleaded. Please. Help. Help. Help. Pleading with his enemy. Alastor couldn't even recognize him. Vox hadn’t even paused to think as he grabbed Alastor's hand, and the smallest bit of his own soul twined around, deep deep deep, merging fully with that fragment of Alastor, anything to steer him away from the awful finality of nonexistence. Vox's mind rejected the notion. His conscience exorcised the option from reality.

Post-Finale. The Hotel finds Alastor right on the front lawn, unconscious and bleeding, still injured from Adam's blade. While he recovers, all of Hell scrambles to find out who his mysterious rescuer is.

Meanwhile, Vox tries not to freak out that he might have accidentally made a soul bond to save that deer asshole's life. All he had wanted to do was to scope out the ruins of Alastor's radio tower. Fuck him for being curious, he supposed.

If Vox didn't like it, he wouldn't lie, but he would never be rude. No, instead, he would propose his own liver to perfect the flavor. Anything Alastor wanted.

Chapters 14/16

The year is 1989; Vox and his closest friend Alastor have maintained a strong allegiance for decades. Thus far, Vox has been the Radio Demon’s biggest admirer and protégé, always more than a few steps behind; always wanting more than friendship.The 80s bring with them a new era for televisual media; TV is finally becoming king, threatening to cause a rift between the two friends. Vox, desperate to keep Alastor in his life, doubles his romantic efforts. Alastor, desperate to maintain control and power, decides to indulge them.

A story in which Vox finally gets the man of his dreams; a flighty wicked demon who loves to push his buttons. A story about true friendship, true love, even; but also about how it eventually has to end in tears. A story about how there may be potential to salvage it, after all. Only time can tell.

Im definitely gonna keep updating whenever I find more, or if I recall any! Please give the authors and writers of these fics much love and support! They did amazing jobs and deserve so much! (Also please feel free to recommend fics to me or ones that you think should be added to the list!)

Do you think with both Royal Guard AU and Dadstaticradio Au, wouldn't Charlie be a bit influenced by her dad/s? I mean Canonly she is just a more sweeter ver of Lulu. Could you imagine in RoyalGuard she got influenced by her father figuer Alastor to love Radio and some of her clothes reflect 1920. While in Dadstaticradio AU her clothing is both a mix of business with 1920's flare, some blues pop here and there, and she is bit cool headed since well she is raised by two Overlord Ace Gay dads.

Like Dadstaticradio AU Charlie is waaay more tech savvy and inherits Alastor's more radio charisma.

Dadstaticradio dads be qwq *wipes hanky on eyes* when Dadstaticradio Charlie sweetly roasts Katie Killjoy to the point she can't talk back.

She would absolutely be influenced, early on in dadstaticradio's discussion we figured Charlie's fashion sense would be affected to at minimum make her suit pinstripe like both her parents. Charlie would probably have a little more of a realist perspective rather than pure hope and optimism, though obviously she still believes in her good cause either way

Would you consider making a master post or something for your hh stargazers au?

YESSS! Sorry this took me forever to answer, but I do plan to make a master post soon! I'm not the most tech savvy (in fact, I'm usually the opposite), so I gotta figure out how to do that first on Tumblr. 😅 Believe it or not, I just learned how Twitter master posting works not too long ago too. Haha- God help me. If anyone could give me advice on how to do it that'd be great. For now, here's a sneak peek of the next update! Focusing more on Vaggie & Alastor as we've already met the Magnes!

His usual suave demeanor is slipping, much to his cohorts' amusement – and concern. Velvet can do little more than roll her eyes at his antics. Valentino, on the other hand, is convinced that all Vox needs to do is get fucked and relax.

wonder about early days angel and the way eternity stagnates development in hell. by earth numbers he's older than valentino and probably husk (i am not 100% on the ages they were meant to be when they died but 1940s-1970s is a good long gap regardless), but he feels younger in part because of the voice acting, in part because of whatever vibes have been chosen for the different characters. he's tech-literate, he's culturally up-to-date, he even has an undercurrent of that youthful burnout naivete where you go as hard as you can until you crash without quite believing in the crash (and that's probably because there's no such thing as dying of an overdose in hell, so can the crash ever occur or do you just chase more and more vicious cycles of self-destruction?? forever???)

I wonder what he was doing for the 20-odd years he was in hell before valentino was around, and how that also plays a little into not knowing anything about alastor (or, for that matter, husk later on). whether the average sinner isn't paying attention/able to really conceive of who the overlords are unless they're explicitly making themselves very visible (the vees perhaps being considered somewhat tactless for doing so to the extent that they do?) -- how he got into sexwork, which was pre-valentino from what little I've seen beyond the show, and I'm guessing was not endorsed by his family/was a post-death development probably? I mean, maybe not, we'll see. and whether his being a sexworker was in any way an (outwardly) glamorous glitzy occupation until the porn industry of the 70s came along

what his situation was so that he thought signing with valentino might signal a potential step up in his fortunes, despite possibly having the itch in the back of his head that nothing good could come of it, and how his permanent stagnant "youth" might play into impulsive decision-making and his particular coping mechanisms (as holdovers from his lifetime, but updated to fit different eras)

who was angel when he first came to hell, and who was he when he met valentino, and how much difference was there between those two people?

actually this post was meant to be "I wonder how valentino got a hold of angel, considering you'd think angel might be a little savvy to the cruelty that is hell, and that perhaps val at the beginning played very nice, and genuinely seduced him, and whether all of that was 100% a ploy or not," followed by the real question i had which was "when did val gift angel with fat nuggets, and what was the context? was it part of getting him under his thumb, was it after signing away his soul, was it as an "apology" after treating him badly the first time...?"

but yeah. all of the above plays into it. think angel has perhaps been looking for kindness in hell for a very long time, before valentino was ever in the picture, and the way he treats fat nuggets and sticks with cherri is a sign of who he is when he's not performing long before he turns a corner with the hotel

but mostly this post was inspired by my brain going

fat nuggets

i too would search through the rubble for you. valentino did... one (1) accidentally good thing for angel. that'll do pig
