*Angel Dust is in his dressing room, trying his best to clean off the Robo Blob fish and Tiger Shark (Which he has taken to calling Bob the Blob and Striper the Tiger Shark) of the glitter they’re caked in. Outside in the Studio, every single surface imaginable is covered in glitter with the exception of the lights, creating a blinding effect to everyone who lays eyes on it. The Babies are currently playing around and having a field day in the glitter. Some of the actors even joined in, the body oil some are covered in helping GREATLY with gathering glitter. At the center of it all is Allie make Glitter Angels in the glitter, bleating and bwehing in bliss with his eyes so wide that they look like they’re about to pop o it if his head. Fortunately, with the glitter, the cameras are unable to work thanks to the glitter putting today’s shoots on pause in order to clean and fix ALL of the equipment clogged with glitter. Val in the meantime is trying to clean off the glitter and bugs that cover his body. A task that won’t be easy considering the Super Duper Glue that Boxie and Allie Bombarded him with.*

Angel: Yeesh, I know Allie has a love of glitter and everything, but who the Hell’s supplying him?

Striper: Beep Boop Beep. *Striper then spits out another envelope of letter and some white feathers*

Bob: *Looks at Striper in judgement* Beep Boop? *Translation: Why? Just why?*

~June 1923~

*Reader squishes her cheeks together as she and Edward gush over the baby. The babys parents, a former footman and maid, laugh softly at their former employers, both completely pleased that their child will be loved*

Footman: Then you're both okay with us coming back to work for you to make money to raise the little one

Edward: Of course! *Smiles happily* Another couple just left, *Narrows his eyes at Reader who smiles innocently* so there's an opening

Maid: *Sighs in relief* That's wonderful news

Reader: *Glares at them* On one condition though

*The two parents look at her worried*

Reader: *Smiles softer* Don't hesitate to ask us or the others if you need to step away from something to care for the little one

Maid: *Tears up* Thank you my lady

Footman: We won't let you down *Places a hand on his heart*

*As the two head off with the baby to go greet and introduce the little one to the rest of the staff, Edward sighs wistfully and nudges Reader*

Edward: So when are you going to give me some grandkids?

Reader: In around hundred years

Edward: *Blinks rapidly in confusion before pouting* Bu-but-!

Reader: K, love you, bye! *Runs off*

Edward: Awwww... *Deflats in sadness*

*Reader enters her room just as Umbra slips out of her shadow, Reader walks over to her desk and pulls out the secret stash of paper hidden under the false bottom of her desk drawer on these papers are little sketches drawn of Allie and Boxie*

Reader: *Tears up she looks through them* I miss them so much...

*Umbra whines as he nuzzles her, saddened about not being with his little brothers too*

☆

*Reader wheezes as she watches the two boys scamper around the penthouse, Allie is carrying one of Voxs plush sharks while Boxie chases him to get it back, Vox on the other hand grumbles on the couch about them possibly destroying it*

Reader: It's your fault for adding the shark obsession to Boxie

Vox: *Mumbling* I wanted him to be just like me...

*Boxie trips and starts tearing up, Allie stops and looks back before laughing at him*

Alastor: And look at that! A carbon copy *Smirks at Voxs glare before he grunts as Vox tightens the wires around his body*

Reader: *Gasps* Baby! *Hurries over to Boxie and picks him up* Shh, shh, shh, it's ok sweetie

Boxie: *Cuddles against her neck* Beep beep! *Cries as he points at Allie*

Allie: *Flinches before glaring at Boxie* Bweh! *Stomps his hoof*

Reader: *Sighs and pats Allies head* It's not nice to take someone elses toys and laugh at them when they fall

Allie: *Points at Alastor* Bweh!!

Reader: *Tilts her head* What did your Père do?

*Alastor chokes on air as he hadn't expected her to call him that... not that he shouldn't have seen it coming all things considered*

Allie: Bweh bweh bleat bweh! *Points to Vox then pretends to trip then point to Alastor then pretends to laugh*

Reader: *Glares at Alastor* So he learned from example

Alastor: *Glares at Allie* Who side are you on?

Allie: Meeeh *Points at Reader*

Reader: Awww! *Scoop him up*

Boxie: *Pouts before patting Readers face and using Valentinos voice* Mami!

*Vox chokes this time while Alastor scowls at the disgusting tone of Valentinos voice calling Reader that*

Vox: Since when could you mimic-!?

Reader: *Squeals and holds the boys tightly* That's right! I'm Mama!

Allie: Bweh! *Nuzzles her cheek*

Boxie: *Mimics Reader* Mama! *And cuddles against her*

☆

Reader: *Grins sheepishly* It's just be for a little bit

Alastor: Darling, this is a bad idea

Reader: Just a while

Alastor: I don't know the first thing about children!

*Allie and Boxie smile up at him innocently as Alastor scoots the chair away*

Reader: Just a few hours

Alastor: *Freezes before his head slowly turns to her with a creaking sound... that comes from Boxies speakers causing Allie to giggle* Hours?

Reader: ... Ok, love you boys! Be good for your Père, bye! *Runs off*

Alastor: *Eye twitches as he contemplates murdering her* Well... *Looks down at the two boys who grin* I suppose *Smirks maliciously* a little chaos is in order

~

*Screams, fire, and explosions are everywhere as Alastor, Allie, and Boxie all laugh maniacally while Alastor kicks his chair to move them as far away from the destruction as possible so it doesn't get linked to them. Even though he knows that it most definitely will but that he'll get away with it because Reader will raise hell to protect him and their children. Alastors eyes widen in shock and he nearly tips the chair over*

Alastor: What did I just...? *Looks down at the giggling boys in his lap and softens before sighing* She's making me soft again... *Grins as the two stick their tongues out at passersby* I suppose I did always want to give her real children *Grumbles* I suppose you two aren't so bad *Rolls his eyes at their excited grins before continuing to move down the hallway towards the studio* Oh spare me the melodrama

*The two giggle and hug him anyways causing him to huff*

Alastor: *Grumbling* You're lucky my hands are tied...

*Allie and Boxie snicker wickedly and start cuddling him*

~

*The boys run through the studio, tripping actors as they race towards Reader*

Reader: Val, no *Deadpans* We are not putting him in a diaper

Valentino: *Pouts* But Mamiiiiii

Alastor: *Huffs as he rolls to a stop by Reader* Must you use that derogatory name?

Valentino: *Glares at him with a smirk* Yes

Reader: *Happy* Al! *Looks around* Where are the kids?

Alastor: *Looks too after glaring at Valentino* They were on the way to you- oh...

Reader: What? *Looks in the same direction and snorts* Oh no

*Allies eyes are bigger than they've ever been before as he holds the spray bottle and continually pushes down to spritz body glitter into the air. He watches the glitter glisten before it falls onto the counter*

Reader: I think he's found his one true love *Heads over* Hey sweetie

Allie: Bweh!! *Points to the glittery counter* Bleat! Bweh bweh!

Reader: *Chuckles* Yes, it is shiny. Here *Takes the bottle and sprays a little bit on Allies paw* This is glitter

Allie: Bwe bweh *Eyes sparkling before he hugs the bottle*

Actress: Awww, he can have it if he wants it, Mommy

Reader: Thank you, baby *Scoops up Allie and brings him to Alastor to set on his lap* Now where...?

Alastor: Over there *Nods to Angel*

Boxie: Beep beep boop beep! Weeeeee! *Waves his arms around animatedly*

Angel: Fun *Chuckles as he brings Boxie back to his parents and sets him a Alastors lap* We're about to start another shoot. You might wanna get them out of here

Alastor: Right *Nods before coughing as Allie sprays Boxie, and unintentionally Alastor, with the body glitter*

Allie: Bweh!

Boxie: Beep! *Claps his glittery hands happily*

*Reader and Angel snort at the glittery Alastor who just sighs*

Alastor: I regret indulging your whims...

☆

*Over a hundred years in the future, Alastor sighs softly as he thinks back on that year wondering if her constantly being lost in thought back in the past was a result of her remembering her time there with them*

Alastor: Did you miss us just as much as we miss you, my darling?

Taglist

*All the Babies have set up a table with snacks and tea, with a slaughtered rat being the main course. All of the Babies are dressed up wearing pieces of their Pére’s usual suit. Annie is wearing his overalls, Boxie is usual bow tie, and Allie one of his monocles. *

Annie: Bweh? *Translation: Would you like some more tea, Alastor?*

Boxie: *Nods* Beep. *Translation: Indeed I would, Alastor.*

*Boxie then turns toward Allie with the teapot as Allie is currently using a knife and fork to messily cut and dig into the rat corpse.*

Boxie: Beep? *Translation: Would you like a cup as well, Alastor?*

Allie: Bweh bweh. *Translation: Don’t mind if I do, Alastor.*

*After Boxie pours Allie some tea, the latter takes a sip before literally diving into the rat to eat. Annie, undisturbed, offers Allie a napkin*

Allie: Bweh. *Allie then uses the offered napkin to give one wipe to his borrowed monocle before tearing into the rat again*

~March 1923~

*Reader poses in the mirror, striking exaggerated poses*

Reader: I could totally pass for a guy if I needed to *Flips her hair*

*Umbra snickers at her as Alastors clothes are way too big on her*

Reader: *Grins at him* Are you laughing at me young man?

*Umbra nods before shooting deeper into the clothes to hide*

Reader: He-mmph! *Blinks rapidly as she's suddenly behind a bunch of Alastors suits with Umbra. She raises an eyebrow at him before she hears footsteps outside the closet*

Alastor: *Opens the walk-in closet door and notices Readers dress on the ground and blush fiercely* I-is she-!? *Groans and runs out* How many times do I have to tell her not to wear my clothes? They don't fit her!

Reader: *Grumbles as she hears the door close* Do to... *Gasps scandalized when Umbra disagrees with her* You take that back! *Giggles as she tries to grab him* His clothes have always fit me!

☆

*Alastor hums happily as he brings tea and snacks to his room where Reader is waiting for him. He sighs wistfully as he remembers all the times before when they used to do this in their marital home so long ago*

Alastor: *Opens the door with a flourish* Darling! I'm back with our tea! ... *He freezes before sighing as the sight before him is too familiar with their past*

Reader: ... I can explain? *Grins sheepishly as she is currently wearing one of his suits, that doesn't fit her at all*

Alastor: *Sets the tea down with an amused grin* Can you?

Reader: ... no... *Fidgets with the long sleeves and mumbles* I wanted to look cool...

Alastor: *Perks up* Oh ho! Cool am I? *Saunters over to her side to tease her more with a deep purr* So you think I'm cool and amazing and wonderfully handsome with an amazing, absolutely impeccable taste in fashion?

Reader: Well, yeah, I'm pretty sure I've always said that *Unfazed much to his annoyment* I literally tell you that every time you take me clothes shopping

Alastor: *Gets in her face* You've never called me handsome

Reader: *Blushes purely from the proximity of his face to hers* No point in stating the obvious

Alastor: *Pulls back and turns his head with his ears pinned back to hide his blush as he grumbles to himself* You're still way too good at that

Reader: What?

Alastor: *Grins widely* Nothing *Picks at his loose clothing on her* Now, we can't have you dressed so immodestly for tea *Snaps his fingers using his magic to make the clothes shrink to her size* They're much better

Reader: *Gasps excitedly* I'm never giving this back

*Alastors eyes practically screams, "Of course you're not", but regardless, he places a hand on her lower back and guides her to the table and helps her into her seat before he divides up the tea and snacks. Ladys fingers for himself and some shortbread cookies for her. He pours their tea before he sits down himself across from her*

Alastor: So, you were telling me all about how you had pranked that idiotic picture box and the worthless little moth *Sips his tea before tossing a finger into his mouth*

*Reader grins and tell us him all about the pranks she pulled at V tower and how she had let all of Voxs sharks run wild in the studio after flooding it*

☆

*Reader quickly runs through the manor while desperately trying to hold onto Alastors HER pants as Alastor chases her*

Alastor: HOW ARE YOU STILL RUNNING SO FAST!?! YOU CAN BARELY KEEP THEM ON!!

Reader: *Cackles* SKILL ISSUE, AL?!

Alastor: OH SHUT UP!!

*Rosalie and Edward are calmly sipping tea as they watch the two*

Rosalie: Both 21 and they still act like children

Edward: Ah, to be young again *Sighs wistfully* Oh hello dear *Chuckles as Reader hides behind him*

Reader: Hi *Smiles innocently*

Alastor: *Pants* Y/N, give me back my clothes

Reader: ... eh *Looks away* You're just jealous I look better than you in them

Alastor: You look like a child in her fathers clothes *Smirks at her gasp*

Rosalie: Like I said, both 21 and they still act like children

Reader: I'm not 21 *Pouts*

Edward: *Amused* Oh? And how old are you really?

Alastor: Five

Reader: *Toss his hat at him* I'm nearly 50 *Narrows her eyes* I'm a grandmother

Rosalie: Oh! Is that why you adopt so many adults?

Reader: It don't matter how old or young, they are all my children

Alastor: *Worried* What about us?

Reader: *Pats Edward and Rosalies shoulders* Yes *I points at Alastor* No

*Alastor sighs in relief*

Edward: *Curious* Why not Alastor too?

Reader: ... *Looks away with a blush* I have my reasons... *Runs off*

Alastor: *Eyes sparkling* She was blushing...

Edward: *Pats his back* Then what are you waiting for? Go get her!

Alastor: *Grins* Right *Runs after her*

☆

*The day was peaceful, no screaming, no fights, no one was upset, and the crew was gathered around the bar for drinks*

Charlie: *Writing in the notebook that Reader got her to keep her thoughts organized* What do you think about this exercise, Vaggie?

Vaggie: *Leaning against her* Hmm, it's doable

Angel: *Leans on the bar* Oh come on *Grins* I almost had you *Tosses his cards down*

Husk: *Smirks* You're going to have to try harder than that

*Niffty sits on the ground petting Keekee while Razzle and Dazzle chase each other around. It was peaceful, it was lovely, there was not a problem in sight, and then there was a scream. Everyone flinches and looks up alarmed, until they relax as they hear maniacal laughter*

Angel: *Huffs in disappointment* You know, one of these days, that better turn into a scream of pleasure or I'm revoking his Y/N privileges

*Husk cringes while Charlie blushes*

Vaggie: *Grimaces* His name is the last thing I want to hear screamed

Niffty: With Alastors powers, he could make anyone scream *Giggles at the thought*

Angel: Hmm, *Grins* those tendrils sure could-

Vaggie: Nope! We are not have this discussion! *Shutter in disgust*

*Husk sighs in relief as Charlie continues to blush*

Charlie: ... I mean...

*Angel and Niffty grin with Husk and Vaggie look shocked that she's continuing the conversation*

Charlie: Y/N is only human *Looks at them all worried* Wouldn't Alastor need to be really gentle with her?

Angel: *Winces* Oh yeah, that's a good point

Niffty: Not if she likes it rough! *Giggles maniacally*

Husk: I doubt he'd be too rough with her. He already treats her like she's made of porcelain

Vaggie: Really?

Charlie: Aww!

*Another scream is heard upstairs followed by laughter*

Angel: You sure? *Doubtful*

Niffty: Oooo! I should write about this in my fanfiction! *Runs off*

...

Vaggie: Fanfiction? *Grossed out*

Husk: *Taking a swig of whiskey* Yeah, she's written fanfiction of at least everybody in this hotel by now, she makes me and Alastor read them occasionally

Angel: *Eyes sparkling while Vaggie and Charlie look horrified* I got to read these! *Runs after Niffty* Niffty! Wait up!

Charlie: How... creative? *Grins weirded out*

Husk: There's a lot of stories of you two

*Vaggie blushes as Charlie stands up*

Charlie: *Clears her throat* Well, then I'd better go ask her to stop *Inches towards the stairs* And I'll need to confiscate the stories... ya *Runs off after Niffty and Angel*

*It silent between Husk and Vaggie*

Husk: She's going to-

Vaggie: *Burying her red face in her hands* I know

☆

Alastor: *Eye twitching as he stands in front of the manor* Y/N! Get off the roof!

Reader: Never! *Sticks her tongue out and runs to the other side*

Alastor: *Sighs warily* She's gonna be what ends up driving me to the point of insanity... *Grumbles as he heads to the closet to grab a broom before heading upstairs to try and whack her off of the roof*

*The Babies are currently in the Hotel’s air vents. Boxie is helping Annie navigate around them whilst the latter is drawing up a map for future reference. Meanwhile Allie has some Robofish helping him cart around some water balloons filled with glitter and speakers with creepy pre-recorded messages.*

Boxie: Beep Boop Beep *Boxie gestures below to the hotel hallways just outside the vents.

Annie: Bweh. *Annie jots down some notes next to her makeshift map before following Boxie as he continues the tour. Allie takes the liberty of placing some speakers down to fuck with the guests later.*

Boxie: Boop Beep Boop *Boxie gestures to the Front desk below them.*

Annie: Bweh? *Annie looks between the vents to see Vaggi working at the desk* Bweh! *She waves and cries out before Boxie and Allie hurry Annie along. They don’t want to let Vaggi in on their secrets spaces now. Yet that doesn’t stop Allie from running back to toss a water balloon at that back of Vaggi’s head.*

Vaggi: Ese pequeño diablo... *To the newest guest* One moment, M’am. I have to take care of a small problem real quick. *Vaggi then pulls out her spear to start hunting down Allie.*

Awww, Boxie's showing her how to make maps, even though he could print out a map with the internalized map he's created in his head X3

~January 1923~

*Reader and Umbra sit on the roof of the manor watching Alastor look around for her*

Reader: Look at that loser... he's so cute *Sighs dreamily*

*Umbra perks up and nudges her before wiggling an eyebrow when she looks at him*

Reader: *Blushes and pouts* He's technically not a kid anymore, I can admire him...

*Umbra makes a very lewd gesture with his hands*

Reader: *Chokes violently* Umbra!

*Umbra snickers as he points to her then his head and finally makes the gesture again*

Reader: *Huffs as she curls up* I've only thought about that in regards to his demon form *Blushes as Umbra raises an eyebrow doubtfully before she grumbles* You try going through puberty twice...

*Reader smiles fondly as Umbras snickers while she thinks back to her deer demon*

☆

*Reader sighs softly as she leans back against one of the trees of the bayou, slowly turning a page in one of the many books she has stolen from Alastors library. The others sit next to her in a pile, while she isn't planning on reading all of them at that moment, she knows how much it annoys Alastor to have to clean them up after her causing her to snicker at the thought when she glances over to the pile. The fireflies flutter around her peacefully until the entire room shakes and the water splashes around the edges of the river as something massive starts walking round*

Reader: *Flusters as she curls her knees to her chest and hides her lower face behind the book. She glares at Alastor in his full demon form* Taking a stroll, Al?

Alastor: *Grins sharply* Why yes, I am *Squints with mischief before he suddenly plucks her into the air and snickers at her squeaks of surprise, he sets her into his breast pocket and continues on his walk* Why don't you join me, hmm?

Reader: *Burns redder* This is because of the books, isn't it?

Alastor: *Grins nearly wide enough to split his head in half* I haven't the faintest idea what you mean, darling

Reader: *Huffs* Liar

*Alastor cackles as he continues his walk with his flustered little doe in his pocket*

~

*Reader hums happily as she knits a pair of mittens for Charlie and Vaggie, one each for their hands and the third one connected so that when they're wearing it they're constantly holding hands*

Reader: ... *Pressing her lips together as she tries her hardest to ignore him*

Alastor: ...

Reader: Hm... *Ducks her head and pulls her knees up to attempt and create a bubble around herself to focus on her knitting*

Alastor: ... *Tilts his head*

Reader: Mmm *Pulls a blanket over her head to completely cover herself and block his view of her red face*

*Alastor snickers as as he makes his antlers longer and makes his radio frequency sound higher*

Reader: Go away!! *Whining as she buries her face in her knees*

Alastor: No ❤️

☆

Reader: *Hiding in the secret passageways in the walls of the manor that the staff uses to get around quickly* Day 23 in the chamber. They ain't found me yet but when they do, they gonna be surprised

*Umbra snickers as he runs around causing a skittering sound to be heard all along the walls. They can hear Alastor grumbling from the other side, muttering something about rats before he hurries along to try and find Reader*

Reader: You know, being in here reminds me of when I was testing out the ribbon he made me *Smirks* and made him help me all the time

*Umbra perks up with a massive grin as he too remembers the games they used to play*

☆

*Reader stares up at the top shelf where the book she wanted to read is sitting, Angel had snatched it out of her hand and thrown it up there earlier so she could go and hang out with him instead*

Reader: Note to self, kick his tall, skinny ass *Attempts to climb the bookshelf to reach it only to pout when the shelves are too thickly packed to get a good grip* How...? *Taps her chin before lowering her hand only for it to catch on to the bow tie around her neck, her eyes widen as she looks down at it before a grin stretches across her lips and she grabs the ribbon holding it tight as she calls* Alastor!

Alastor: *Appearing through his shadows all too pleased to have been called by her* Yes Darling?

Reader: Angel throw my book on top of the book shelf *Points to it*

Alastor: *Grins maliciously* And you want me to kill him for it?

Reader: What?! No! *Panics before glaring at him as she realizes he's joking when he snickers* Just help me get the darn book

Alastor: But of course, my sweet *Grins mischievously*

*Reader waits expectantly assuming he'll use one of his powers to grab the book for her only to squeak when he grabs her around the waist and lifts her up onto his shoulders so she can reach it to herself*

Alastor: High enough? *Smiles innocently*

Reader: ... *Mentally screaming as she realizes that he could manhandle her like nothing* Ya... thanks...

Alastor: *Smirks wider* Are you going to actually grab it?

Reader: Right! Yes! *Grabs the book and holds it to her chest. The second Alastor sets her down, she bows deeply* THANK YOU!!! *And runs off*

*Alastor chuckles and follows after her anyways*

~

*Reader mumbles to herself as she goes through the list of supplies she needs before she heads out the front door of the hotel. She looks around before she realizes she still doesn't exactly know her way around before she grins mischievously as she grabs the bow tie around her neck and calls out*

Reader: Alastor!

Alastor: *Appears behind her* Boo *Snickers when she jumps* You called my Darling?

Reader: *Pouts at him* Yeah, I need some help navigating *Grins sheepishly* I still don't exactly know my way around here... So if it's not too much trouble-

Alastor: Trouble? Perish the thought! A lady should never walk around unaccompanied *Takes her hand and hooks it around his elbow before he whisks her off to do her shopping*

*The two of them spend the rest of the evening wandering around from shop to shop as Reader gets supplies for her room, knitting fabrics, and everything she needs for her crafts*

Alastor: Are you planning on making sweaters in every color of the rainbow for every guest of the hotel? *Snickers at the crates full of different colored yarn she is purchasing*

Reader: ... Maybe *Looks away awkwardly as she digs through her bag for the credit card that she got from Charlie*

Alastor: You still are the same... *Sighs wistfully as he watches her fondly before he quickly pays for everything in her cart before she can even get the card out*

Reader: Wha-? Hey!

Alastor: What kind of gentleman would I be if I didn't pay for a lady? *Smirks mischievously*

Reader: *Pouts* That only applies to restaurants!

Alastor: Oh, what a splendid idea! I know just the place we could go *Whisks Reader away once again as he has his minions bring the supplies to the hotel* They serve the best venison!

*Reader just sighs in amusement as she accepts her fate*

~

Charlie: Hey Y/N? You seen Alastor anywhere?

*Reader grabs her bow tie and summons Alastor*

Alastor: You called my Dearest?

Charlie: Wha-? How? *Baffled*

Alastor: *Flinches and glances at Charlie before glaring at Reader and whispering* I was avoiding her, you know

Reader: I know *Grins cheekly*

☆

*Reader hums the mission impossible theme song as she scurries down the hall, randomly rolling and hiding behind objects, not even acknowledging the obvious stares of the staff as they watch her with a laugh*

Reader: Stealth master *Grins mischievously*

Alastor: It's not stealthy when you're literally announcing yourself with music

*Reader screams as Alastor had appeared behind her from one of the staff passageways*

Alastor: *Rolls his eyes amused as he grabs her* Come on, you're not getting out of going to the tailors with me

*Reader whines as Alastor drags her to her room to get dressed*

*Somewhere in a dark corner with little light, Allie writes in a small diary he got at a crafts store*

Allie: *Mentally*

Dear Diary,

When I first encountered Boxie, hatred and distrust filled me at the sight of his face. Then he became my brother. We live together and we die together, yet every now and then he insults me with the greatest betrayal. I had hoped to prevent this within my little sister, Annie, before Boxie could corrupt her. Alas, with great help from Pére, Annie too has taken part in this betrayal and now hunts me down alongside the rest of our family. I have no one. No one that will defend me. That will stand beside me. Why do I insist on this futile effort despite repeated failure it’s because-

*Allie then hears small footsteps walking by. He stays completely still as he watches Annie s little hooves past by him underneath the door in front of him. He then resumes in his writing*

Allie: It is because I hope one day to succeed.

*Above him, Boxie’s screen lights up, letting Allie see the numerous prone to grab him in a heartbeat*

Boxie: *Using a recording* Hello there, *Switches to Alastor’s voice* Allie….

Vox: Val, what have you done?!?

*Reader moves closer before Vox grabs her*

Vox: You are not jumping through the hole!! *Carries her off as she whines*

~November 1922~

*The sun beamed down in the barren room as Reader sits with her back against the low wall under the window. She flips through the Bible that Michael had given her before he left, this is the second Bible she's been given by him and it wasn't until she noticed the little scribbled note in the corner in the back of the book that she realized it was the exact same Bible he had given her in Heaven*

Reader: I wonder if after I die, Michael comes back to retrieve this Bible

*Umbra purrs as he lays out in the sun, he picks his head up, tilts it then shrugs and nods*

Reader: Pfft, you're no help when you're sun nap dazed

*Umbra purrs louder as he rolls onto his back and stretches*

*Reader looks around the room somberly as most of the few items that were in here had been taken by Michael and what little was left, such as clothes and hygiene products that he has no use for in Heaven, had been pilfered by Rosalie and Alastor. Alastor has been using Michaels products for himself and she noticed his saddened looked every time he gets ready, she imagines he likes to think that Michael is there with him teaching him how to take care of his appearance like he had originally taught him as a boy. Umbra had show Reader through his drawings that Rosalie will sometimes hug Michaels clothing while she sleeps, sometimes even wearing some of his shirts as a night gown. She hopes that the cologne she had bought and left in Rosalies room, the same one that Michael used to wear all the time, brings Rosalie some comfort as she's noticed Rosalie spraying it on the clothes*

Reader: I wonder how Michael and Speaker are doing up there? They haven't visited in a while... *Smiles softly* It's funny how different yet similar they are to the them I know in the future

☆

*Heavenly light filters in to Michaels office as he sits behind his desk doing paperwork, he narrows his eyes before they snap up to the door just as Reader burst through*

Reader: Hi Michael! *Grins as she runs up to him*

Michael: *Staring at her with softening eyes as he remembers her doing this exact thing in her youth too before he shakes his head as he knows she doesn't have any memories of their time together before* Hello Y/N, what brings you here today? *Furrows his eyebrows* And how did you even get into Heaven?

Reader: Abel *Smiles innocently*

Michael: *Sets his pen down slowly* What do you mean Abel...

Reader: Uhhh, nothing? *Looks away worried that she got him in trouble*

Michael: *Sighs* So I'm assuming Abel has taken Adams place in visiting you

Reader: *Pouts and mentally apologizes to Abel* He likes to hear the stories that Adam has told me, mostly the ones where Adam talks about him

Michael: *Relaxes* I suppose that's understandable. Adam was never quite a good father figure to Abel

Reader: I mean, it's not like he really had a lot of experience being raised as a kid to base being a father off of. He did have a lot of regrets about how he raised his boys though

Michael: *Nods* It's a shame that he could never rectify those mistakes

Reader: Which is why he likes to hear the stories so he knows that Adam did care for him *Smiles softly as she walks over to open window at Michaels side* Have you ever considered being a father?

Michael: *Confused* I am a- *Clears his throat as he almost forgot that she doesn't know* I mean no, angels aren't exactly allowed to have children

Reader: *Nods* That makes sense

Speaker: *Appearing in a bright light* They can if He allows it

Michael: *Blushes* My lady! No!

Reader: *Eyes sparkling* BABY ANGEL!?! *Looks at Michael hopeful*

Speaker: My lady, yes *Narrows her eyes mischievously* I want grandbabies

Michael: *Groans as he buries his hands in his hair to cover his face* I don't even have a wife

Speaker: Hmm *Amused by the lie as she tilts her head still wondering why he hasn't married his doe yet*

Reader: There's plenty of women around *Leans on his desk as she tries to look under his hands* and you have all of eternity to find the right one

Michael: *Glares at her* Don't you have a hotel to run?

Reader: Not until four

Speaker: It's almost four, dear servant

Reader: It is?!

*Michael sighs and summons a portal for her*

Reader: Thanks! See you guys later! *Runs through the portal*

Speaker: Be safe *Smiles serenely*

Michael: *Glares softly at The Speaker* Your eavesdropping is getting worse

Speaker: *Shrugs* I can't help if I'm omnipresent

*Michael huffs as The Speaker laughs*

*It's quiet in Michaels former bedroom for a bit, Umbra slowly covers his mouth*

Reader: THAT FUCKER HAD ROSALIE!! WHY DID HE SAY HE DIDN'T HAVE A WIFE!?!

*Umbra cackles as he rolls around on the floor before both of them freeze at a gentle knock at the door*

Maid: Is everything alright, miss?

Reader: *Grins sheepishly* Yes, I'm fine!

*They wait until they hear the maid walk away before Reader sighs and looks out the window*

Reader: I'm kicking his ass when we get back... *Spots a pair of mourning doves flying through the sky and smiles softly* Emily always reminded me of mourning doves

*Umbra tilts his head*

Reader: Or pigeons *Chuckles* I wonder how the sisters are holding up. I'm pretty sure Emily got hit by the beam too

☆

*It is a beautiful day in Heaven and you are a menace to the natural order*

Reader: ...

Emily: ...

Sera: ...

*All three of them stand outside the community kitchen as everything burns. Several angels are flying around to put it out*

Reader: Sorry...

Sera: *Looks down at her confused* Why are you apologizing?

Emily: Ya? *Tilts her head confused* You were just standing there

Reader: *Looks away awkwardly* No, it's because I tried to help add in the chocolate chips

Sera: *Laughs softly* Adding two cups of chocolates isn't going to start a fire Y/N

Emily: *Giggles and hugs Reader* It must have just been faulty wiring

Reader: *Raises an eyebrow* In Heaven?

Emily: ... Weeell... um...

Sera: *Rests a hand on their backs* How about we start a new batch at a different community kitchen?

Reader: *Muttering to herself as she follows the two* I'm going to be setting a lot of fires today...

~

*Seven different community kitchens had burned before the three ended up in Sera and Emilys kitchen*

Sera: This doesn't make any sense... *Steeping her fingers together as she sits at the counter watching Emily attempt another batch with extreme caution*

Reader: I told you it was my fault *Huffs as she lays on the couch to avoid the kitchen*

Emily: It's not your fault Y/N! *Smiles weakly* I'm just having an off day in the kitchen

Reader: Oh no it's entirely my fault. I'm banned from stepping into any kitchens in Hell

Sera: What? Why?

Reader: *Sighs before getting up, grabbing the fire extinguisher, and handing it to Sera. Then she walks over to a cabinet and pulls out a pot, fills it with water, and sets it on the stove. She doesn't even touch the dial before the water immediately catches fire* God nerfed me with shitty cooking skills so I wouldn't be perfect *Dramatically clenches a fist to her chest as she looks away*

*Emily and Sera stare at her astonished*

Sera: Oh... *Puts out the fire*

Emily: I thought you were just being silly *Hugs Reader* I'm sorry for laughing!

Reader: *Hugs her back with a laugh* It's not your fault, no one believes me until they experience it first hand

Sera: *Clears her throat awkwardly* On that note...

Reader: *Sighs as she shuffles out of the kitchen* Ya, I know... *Plops on the couch again* Can you tell everyone I'm sorry about the fires too?

Sera: *Smiles softly* I'll let them know *Heads off to inform everyone about the ban*

Emily: *Grins* Just sit tight! I'll make you the best cookies in the whole afterlife!

Reader: Thanks Em

☆

Reader: *Sniffles* They truly were the best cookies I have ever eaten

*Umbra growls softly*

Reader: I love you but there was no way in hell I wasn't about to eat every single last one of them before even considering bringing them to the others

*Umbra huffs and turns his back on her as Reader laughs at his little tantrum*

*In one of the Hotel’s many hallways, the Babies are helping Nifty clean up as punishment by Vaggi for another one of their glitter rampage. Annie and Boxie simultaneously swipe sweat off their foreheads when they finish sweeping and mopping their section of the floor. Just in time as Vaggi walks by to check on their progress*

Vaggi: Much better than how you left it.

*Vaggi nods in approval much to Annie and Boxie’s delight. However, Vaggi then raises a brow in confusion when finding no sign of Allie.*

Vaggi: Where’s Allie? *Vaggi then frowns as she puts her hands on her hips* He better NOT be trying to skip cleaning up his own mess!

Nifty: *Out of nowhere* He didn’t! He’s been helping too!

*Vaggi then notices how Boxie’s red and black broom started to squirm before one end rises revealing a dusty and glitter covered Allie. Upon closer inspection, Vaggi realizes that Boxie essentially glued a stick to Allie’s back to use him as a broom*

Vaggi: I guess… that’s one way to help clean up.

Allie: *Proudly* Bweh!

~September 1922~

*Reader wipes her brow with the back of her hand as she lets the breeze cool her down. For the last few hours she's been helping Caleb weed the flowers beds around the church*

Caleb: *Clears his throat awkwardly* Thank you again for helping me, Miss Liefde

Reader: *Grins* Of course! I used to do the this with Keith all the time, it's no biggie

Caleb: *Makes the motion of the cross over his body at the mention of Keith* He was a good man

Reader: The best

Caleb: ... Soooo... *Glances over at her* Have you given my proposal any more thoughts?

Reader: *Sighs warily* I don't need a exorcism, Caleb

Caleb: But that thing we saw! I know Keith decided to brush it off, but I've noticed it around the church every time you visit!

Reader: *Smiles gently* And he's harmless, Caleb

Cabel: *Eyes widen* You know what it-

Reader: He. And yes, I've been with him longer than I've been here

Cabel: *Growls in annoyance* Is this another one of your guys' vague riddles?

Reader: Maybe *Winks*

Cabel: *Sighs* I often wonder if you're even human sometimes because how can someone like you ever be related to any of humanity

Reader: *Mumbling to herself* I don't know, Adam's kind of a bitch too. I think I fit right in...

Cabel: What?

Reader: Nothing! *Notices the time* Oh, don't you have a meeting to get to?

Cabel: *Checks his watch* Ah, yes, thank you. Are you sure you're okay with finishing this on your own?

Reader: *Smirks mischievously* Who said I'd be alone?

Cabel: ... *Glares at her* I'm throwing you in a trough of Holy water *Walks off*

Reader: Bring it!! *Laughs lightheartedly* You know, *Looks down at Umbra in her shadow* I wonder if they'll ever find out how much of a douche Adam is before we kill him

☆

*The day was peaceful, Charlie and Vaggie were running around the hotel, Angel was hanging out with Cherri, Niffty is cleaning the rooms, Husk is getting drunk behind the bar, and Alastor is currently away from the hotel taking care of things. Reader decides to have a nice day in to sit in her room and work on her knittings. All around her are yarn in various shades of red and black as she works on yet another plushie of Alastor to go on her shelf full of Alastor merch that she has self-made. She is humming quietly to herself when a golden portal opens up in the middle of her room and she sighs in absolute exhaustion*

Reader: Hi Adam...

Adam: *Slides in on his knees playing the air guitar* What up Spitfire!!

Reader: *Snorts* Here to raid my snacks again, I see

Adam: Pfft, more like here to make your day more awesome than it ever could be *Raids her snack cabinet anyways before he sits down next to her and kicks away one of yarn balls* You still obsessing over that red guy?

Reader: Ya *Continues to knit unashamed*

Adam: *Glancing at her nervously as he tries to pretend to be cool* You ever make anything of anyone else?

*Reader points to the shelf of plushies and a few merch of other residents in the hotel*

Adam: *Scoffs* I meant of someone cool *Crosses his arms with a pout*

Reader: *Smirks* I know *Reaches under her bed and pulls out two plushies one of Adam and another of Lute* I made you guys from memory, I didn't know what you two look like under your masks so I had to leave the masks on

Adam: *Eyes sparkling as he takes them* Yoooooo!! These are sick! Can I keep them?! I gotta show them to danger tits!

Reader: Is it safe for her to know you come her?

Adam: ... Fuck *Huffs as he leans back* No, it's not *Plays with the plushies* She'd fucking flip out on me *Holds up the Lute plushie as he speaks in a mock of Lutes voice* "Sir, you shouldn't hang out with those heathens! We need to eradicate them all! They're diseased and depraved!" *Snaps his fingers at her* Which you guys totally are

Reader: *Nods* We are

Adam: *Leans against Reader as he looks over the plush of himself* How do you stand it?

Reader: *Rests her head on his shoulder* God sent me here for a reason *Shrugs* Gotta listen

Adam: ...When I destroy the hotel *Glances down at her* I'm bringing you back to Heaven with me

Reader: *Smiles softly as she closes her eyes* Not if we kick your ass first

Adam: Ha! Bring it, Spitfire!

☆

*Reader smiles fondly as she looks at the stained glass window of Adam and his family*

Reader: He had his good moments too... sometimes. I mean, surely he couldn't have made it to Heaven just because he was the first man, he had to have some good in him too... right?

*Umbra sticks his tongue out*

Reader: Abel on the other hand is a complete sweetheart. Same with Peter, which was not something I expected from him

☆

*Reader sips on her lemonade as she watches Abel and Peter argue about the better scented candle*

Peter: But lilac has such a unique and lovely smell, it's like spring come to life!

Abel: But cotton candy, so fun and sweet. It's like you're eating the actual thing

Peter: Exactly, I'm just gonna be hungry every time I smell it

Reader: You two have the strangest arguments

*Both boys look over confused*

Peter: How do you mean?

Reader: You're arguing about candles *Laughs softly* Heaven must really not have a lot to do

*They both open their mouths to argue against that, but...*

Peter: Well... *Looks around nervously* I wouldn't put it that way...

Able: *Pouts* Well, what makes Hell so great?

Peter: Oooh ya, what's Hell like?

Reader: Think Sodom and Gomorrah

*The boys shutter*

Peter: That bad?

Reader: It's Hell *Raises an eyebrow amused*

Abel and Peter: *Pause* Oh. Ya, that's fair. Totally to be expected

Abel: Why do you stay there? Isn't it scary?

Reader: Nah, I've got a few Overlords as friends *Chuckles at their blank looks* Overlords are powerful Sinners that own other Sinners souls

Abel and Peter: *Both pale* ... oh

Peter: *Laughs nervously* Well at least Michael gave you angelic steel wings to protect yourself with *Shutters* I'm glad I don't have to deal with that

Reader: Hmm... *Stares Peter down*

Peter: *Blinks and glances around confused* What? Is there something on my face?

Reader: *Smiles softly* No... you're just so different from my worlds Peter

Abel: Oooo, how? *Excited*

Reader: My Peter was a leader, he helped protect Jesus and was completely willing to go to war in seconds at his word. Plus... *Looks Peter over* My Peter died in his 60s by being crucified upside-down by Romans

Peter: *Trembling slightly* I think I need to go lay down... *Hurries off*

*Reader watches him leave while Abel sits there pale and trembling*

Reader: I've said it once and I'll say it again, this world is way too soft

☆

Reader: *Stretches after she tosses last of the weeds into the compost pile. She high fives Umbra* Done

*Umbra purrs loudly before the two of them freeze when a splash of Holy water hits them. They both look over to Caleb unaffected*

Reader: Really? *Unimpressed*

Caleb: ... It was worth a shot *Moves away from Umbra*

*Reader facepalms as Umbra decides to mess with the priest and chase him around causing Caleb to quickly run back into the church*
