Here for another fic rec post, Hellaverse edition. I hope the links work and are correct, it's always a struggle for some reason.

To the authors - if you would prefer not to be tagged/included, please reach out to let me know.

Mirroring from the main Hazbin Hotel website in case the site goes down for some reason, and also to keep track of what was posted when (and thus when it became canon). Go read it on the original site. First page here.

Disclaimer:

Hey all! As is always the case with rec lists, this is completely subjective and curated to my somewhat picky tastes! For background, I am a panromantic/demisexual 30+ married woman with AuDHD. I've also been in fandom/writing for 20+ years.

My Preferences:

> I love crisp and clean writing, but I can usually overlook grammatical errors/typos if the storytelling is compelling enough. How Al + Lucifer are characterized, however, is extremely important to me. > I gravitate towards top!Lucifer but thoroughly enjoy them as switches (and enjoy reading exclusively top!Al as well).

> I can be picky about my slowburns. I have ADHD so if it takes more than 100k> to hold hands, occasionally my brain goes BRRR and gives up altogether. Absolutely no shade to very slow burns, they can be absolutely beautiful, it's just the way my attention span works.

> I don't read unhappy endings or hurt no comfort fics (who hurt u?). However, if an unhappy or ambiguous ending happens within a series installment, I can continue so long as some sort of happy or hopeful ending is on the horizon. > I don't really read poly fics, I am very much a monogamous RA shipper. However, there are a few fics on this list (like... 2 or 3, very small amount) that there is some kind of background poly relationship happening but the RA boys take center stage.

It goes without saying that this is not an exhaustive list. There are nearly 6k radioapple fics on A03, I am sure I have overlooked some bangers or fan-favorites. These are just MY personal favorites, the ones that I have personally bookmarked to re-read again and again in the future. If I simply listed fics that I liked/enjoyed reading, this list would be 87x times as long.

I organized this list to the best of my ability so that people can 1. find specific tropes they are interested in and 2. avoid potential triggering subject matter. However, at the end of the day, you are in charge of your mental health and are responsible for reading the tags of each fic on this list. Always take care of yourself first.

There are many fics that have overlapping tropes/subject matter. I tried my best to place fics under headers that I found the most fitting. Occasionally, I could not for the life of me PICK ONE, so there are a few fics listed in multiple places.

In an attempt to embrace self-love and pride in my works, I will add my own fics as well.

If you find an error with how I've labeled something, please PM me and PLEASE PLEASE be kind about it. I've spent WEEKS on this rec list and have put so much work into it! <3 Part 2 will be up shortly.

Legend:

If something is labeled as 'Haitus,' that means it has not been updated in at least six months (since Sept 4th, 2024)

If Mature/Explicit Content,

🍎📻 = Top!Lucifer/Bottom!Alastor

📻🍎 = Top!Alastor/Bottom!Lucifer 

📻🍎🔄 = Top/Bottom Versatile

If the fic is not tagged with this info and I was unable to glean it from the material (i.e. hands jobs, oral sex, mutual masturbation, then it will not have these designations)
