millie’s long list of malex fics | Darken Up My Heaven, Brighten Up My Hell by AudreyBlanche
Michael isn’t sure what he had expected when he summoned a demon, but a guy about his age, looking rumpled and like he just stepped out of a trashy swashbuckler film, isn't it. The man – demon? – in front of him is wearing a wide, white shirt that gapes open at the neck to reveal a multitude of necklaces, the shirt tucked into leather pants that bring a blush to Michael's cheeks, with weird lacing at the crotch instead of buttons. Michael wonders if the lacing would make it easier or harder to get at what lay so prominently behind it. Guiltily, his eyes snap back up to the demon's face.
Cold eyes the colour of steel meet his and Michael swallows, hard. He has to look up a little and somehow that really does it for Michael.
Mystery solved. He is definitely, definitely into guys.
Michael needs a fake boyfriend to the wedding of his ex. So, obviously, summoning a demon is the way to go. Somehow, the demon didn't get the memo about the 'fake' part, though.
comment: oh hell yes, i love me some demon!au. this is so fantastic because it’s not even particularly angsty (at least not where demon!alex is concerned). it’s like a fake dating fic and a demon au fic had a baby and created this little gem, which i desperately wish there was more of. i wanna hear more about the adventures of michael and alex after the initial setup... if you can deal with the fact that there’s no sequel to this, get over there and read it! if you can’t... you should read it anyway and then come and cry with me.
have a fic you’d like to see on the list? let me know!
