Diavolo’s birthday is one of the most family-friendly celebrations in the Devildom, at least by demon standards. There are still plenty of demons that don’t necessarily agree with his efforts to bring the three realms together peacefully, but the naysayers can’t resist the lure of extravagant parties that silence their doubts and criticism - if only for a short time.

Halloween traditions from the human world amuse and amaze Diavolo and he vows each year to embrace them as part of his birthday celebration. The added bonus, if only a subtle one, is that the Devildom’s most deadly destructive mischievous demons have something else to keep them busy so that the human world can celebrate their version of Halloween with less chaos and bloodshed. Usually.

(The number of unsanctioned hauntings, accidental summonings, and demon-related deaths have steadily decreased in recent years.)

The Demon’s Lord Castle is decorated top-to-bottom in time for a legion of demon children visit in costumes, all of them hoping to trick and treat their way through the palace. The Little Ds enjoy dressing up too - or maybe it’s just an excuse to throw toilet paper all over the place (and each other) and pretend they’re dressed as mummies for the day. Lucky guests can spot Barbatos sporting some elaborate costume of his own design while handing out poison apple cider and warm cookies fresh from the oven. If you follow the echoes of delighted laughter, you’ll eventually stumble on the prince himself, weighed down by little demons hanging off his back and from each limb, dressed as a vampire lord wearing an impractical cape and his face painted with fake (?) blood.

(Diavolo’s costume inspiration is something he saw in a human world film once, but the threat of blood-sucking doesn’t scare demons nearly as much as it does humans. Even the youngest demons only giggle at the prince’s strange antics, not at all frightened by his elongated fangs. His lips and chin might be stained red for dramatic effect, but his sharp teeth and even sharper claws are very real.)

Later on Halloween night, Diavolo’s staunchest supporters gather in the lavish ballroom for a night of fine food, music, and dancing. It’s a rare occasion that demonic offspring, such as Mephisto’s kid brother, are invited to attend as well. Mephisto is teary-eyed at his lord’s most gracious gesture, so much that he doesn’t realize his family is seated at a table close to the residents of Purgatory Hall. Mephisto and Simeon are unofficial babysitters for Luke and the other underage guests for the night, even if they don’t know it yet. Any complaints are half-hearted at best and as far as babysitting goes, this isn’t a terrible hardship either. The young ones are kept busy with small gifts and served dishes made specially for their picky tastes. Bottles of sparkling juice, similar in appearance and but sweeter than real Demonus, are passed around and poured into plastic wine goblets. Little luxuries for little demon lords (and little angels-in-training).

When Luke and the demon children inevitably disappear at some point during the party, it doesn’t take long for their concerned chaperones to find them passed out underneath one of the tables in a cuddle pile of costumes and candy, exhausted from an entire day of excitement and far too much sugar.

A/N: This is my contribution to the @ficsforgaza Kinktober event! Please check out the other fics and show the authors some love for their amazing work this month.

Some fallen angels that change their name and count their cursed blessings when no one in the Devildom seems to care who they used to be.

Other fallen angels wish they could forge a brand new identity for themselves but can’t because they’re too recognizable to go unnoticed in the Devildom.

Fallen angels that observe demons and their chaotic whims with a sneer, as if they’re still from another world entirely.

Fallen angels that still write in scripture out of habit and speak the Celestial Realm’s language just to annoy the demons nearby that can’t understand them.

Fallen angels that attend RAD the first year it opens, hopelessly overwhelmed by most subjects but smirk at the easy 100% scrawled across every test or assignment involving Celestial Realm history.

Fallen angels that talk about the past like the Devildom is some temporary detour and for the longest time, they have to remind themselves that that place isn’t their home anymore.

Enlightenment | Michael x gn!Reader

Content Warnings: NSFW. Developing relationships, pining, jealousy/possessiveness, marking, sexual content. 1.8k words.

A/N: I've had this in my drafts for months, thank you so much to the anon that inspired this piece and I'm sorry you had to wait. Special thanks to @silverrings-n-prettythings for proof-reading this.

Diavolo's shower card artwork missed out on an awesome opportunity to insert Barbatos in the background somewhere. A shot of his back while he folds freshly-laundered towels, a blurry glimpse of his forked tail while the rest of him is out of view, or perhaps his hand holding the shower head for Diavolo and rinsing the shampoo from his hair like he used to.

Every once in a while, Barbatos gets nostalgic thinking about the days when the Young Master's tub was filled with toys and bits of magic that made the water shimmer and sparkle. The prince giggled excitedly every time he managed to splash his unsuspecting butler with a bit of water which Barbatos rewarded by scooping handfuls of bubbles onto his head and calling it a crown.

Now when it's time for his daily bath, Diavolo relaxes in solitude after Barbatos runs the water to the prince's preferred temperature, sets up the bath tray with tonight's choice of book and a warm cup of tea (or perhaps Demonus, if it was a particularly trying day), and leaves a fluffy towel on a stool nearby before he leaves the room and shuts the door quietly behind him (but never wandering too far, always near in case his master should need him).

But every once in a while, Barbatos finds more reasons to hover and help the prince with his routine. He always wants to help and feel wanted by the now-grown demon that's the closest thing to his own offspring he may ever have.

Featuring: The Demon Brothers x gn!Reader

SFW // Content: Bittersweet angst with a happy ending. It's implied that MC has been gone for a significant amount of time and that the demon brothers spiraled after MC disappeared. Includes mentions of unhealthy coping mechanisms including: drinking; implied self-isolation, depression; destructive or violent behaviour; mention of blood/injuries; mentions of Lesson 16 events. 6.9k words.

Read The Worst Goodbye (part one) here.

So, that teaser video is basically a reminder to people that haven't caught up to S4 OG that they should probably do that in NB Chronicles before the new lessons come out.

Featuring: The Demon Brothers, the Dateables (most briefly/vaguely mentioned) + gn!Reader

Content/Warnings: Mentions of unspecified health problems, surgical procedures and medical devices. Relationships with the cast are intended to be platonic but may be interpreted as romantic in nature (friendship was the focus here rather than romance). Word count: 3.2k.

A/N: This is dedicated to surgery!anon who requested something for their upcoming surgery. Based on the vague details mentioned to me, I assumed there might be some overlap with my own experiences which is what this is loosely based on. I guess I wrote what I would've liked to have read before my own procedures. I hope this provides some comfort to you as well.

A/N: Shaking off the rust. I blame the new Nightmare cards by the way. I wanted to write this for the OCs and figured I should show some of the others some love too. Like always, my fav bias is showing. (Most of Asmo's section is based on things that occur in the bath scene of Desperation.)

I really love the idea that fallen angels have uniquely different experiences than other demons.

Sure, they might be demons now, but once upon a time, they used to be something different. Falling doesn't magically erase countless years spent living in a completely different world, eating different foods and wearing different clothes and waking up and falling asleep under a different sky.

Fallen angels have memories about places that used to matter to them a long time ago - my old room, which dining hall had the best view of the gardens, which kitchen was easiest to sneak into for a late-night snack. They talk about places - a flower field or a river or lake - where they shared common experiences and memories they can still think of fondly. Demons that overhear them realize the places they're referring to simply don't exist in the Devildom.

I wonder what they would think about this? It's strange when other angels are mentioned in connection with a memory: perhaps those angels aren't as reputable or powerful as the Seraphim, but they're still once-treasured enough to not yet be forgotten. They're old friends lost in time.

How often do fallen angels revert back to speaking or writing scripture out out habit? How awkward is it to ace a test about Celestial Realm history when they struggle to recall the Devildom-centric events for those same periods in time?

Fallen angels sometimes refer to back home like something from an old memory. Sometimes they refer to Devildom holidays or traditions as things demons do as if they're not demons themselves. They're demons, but they weren't always. They're similar, but not exactly the same, either.

It's almost habit to talk about themselves as if they're an angel and a demon, because they're a unique breed of creature that's lived as both.

Maybe the OM! version of boop would be caw! and Karasu feathers floating across the screen.

All the characters are just spamming your notifications while comparing how many you send them in return. They're posting screenshots in their group chats and DMs like it's some sort of competition to see who gets caw!-ed the most from you.

(Or maybe they're all blowing up your notifications and don't realize you shut off your D.D.D. hours ago to avoid the drama, which inevitably starts more drama because it's them.)

bittersweet

pairing: barbatos x gn!reader

cw: none, just angst. :(

a/n: a little blurb I'm reposting from my other blog. it was inspired by this post (thank you @arvandus and everyone else that chimed in with their own ideas about hell coffee!). this is a twist on the hell coffee drink where it reveal's the drinker's feelings and not the brewer's.

Barbatos makes a hasty retreat to the kitchen after he delivers the tray with coffee and breakfast to your door. He busies himself with baking something—anything—to take his mind off the way his insides are knotting up.

It’s not long after when he looks up as the door swings open and Asmo steps inside. They simply stare at each other for a moment. Asmo’s eyes are far too knowing and it’s difficult not to squirm under his scrutiny.

“Hell Coffee?” Asmo asks, more serious than one might expect from the demon who’s always so involved in everyone else’s love lives.

When Barbatos says nothing, the other demon nods and turns to leave, hand resting on the door but he doesn’t push it open. He spares a final glance over his shoulder. “Do you want to know if they liked it?”

Barbatos knows what your usual tastes are. Perhaps different versions of you would shudder at the bitter taste while he watched, heart soaring at the revelation. In other timelines where you're a notorious sweet tooth, you compliment how wonderful the coffee is, the way he knows you like it, even though it tears his heart in two.

Perhaps some things are better left unsaid.

“No, I don’t.”
