Summary
Alastor is no fool; he knows exactly where his soul will be going once his clock stops ticking. It’s pointless to argue and, in his opinion, even more pointless to show up empty handed.
He spends progressively more time attempting to contact the other side for some kind of mutually beneficial arrangement, bodies piling up in his wake. While Alastor has never been a stranger to nightmares, the surge of them he experiences with each failed ritual attempt is becoming catastrophic to his ability to function until the only time sleep claims him is by force.
But when those restless nights are replaced with hazy visages of dark hands combing through his hair, petal-soft lips upon his forehead, and the impossible sensation of wings cradling him, he realizes that he has attracted the attention of something much larger than a mere dealmaking demon.
But, Alastor is not a foolish man.
So, when this creature of dreams offers him a deal, what can he do but accept?

Summary
Alastor thinks of the sharp, focused eyes, locked on his face for so long that he often feels the need to cover his own to hide away from the intense scrutiny—how quickly Lucifer switches gears to do something again once it brings a hitch to his breath or jerk to his hips. He pauses the drumming of fingers, static shorting out for just a moment as he realizes that, perhaps, his lack of experience is a very good thing indeed.
Alastor didn’t know what he liked, didn’t know much of anything, so it stands to reason that Lucifer would do what he knew he liked first and then adjust it based on Alastor’s reactions.
He's practically been gifted knowledge on a silver platter on how to please Lucifer, he just didn’t realize it until now.

Summary
Lucifer is a touchy individual. Always has been, ever since the dawn of all creation. Snuggling with fluffy animals, his siblings, Lilith, and Charlie when she was younger, he loves—loved all of it. He’d put hands on shoulders and hold people close whenever they let him. He found comfort in touch of all forms.
For the shoe to be on the other foot, to be transported back to that fucking cage the second someone so much as brushes his elbow… It’s horrible.
It’s just what he deserves.
He’ll deal with it the same way he’s dealt with everything since he was cast down into the pit.
That is to say, he wouldn’t.
Not until he absolutely had to.

Summary
“My heat is next month,” Alastor begins, starting to pluck at the stray hair of Keekee’s from the fluff of the sweater.
Lucifer nods slowly, hands squeezing where they’re wrapped around his upper arms. “I know,” he says easily, “I’ve got my old room just about set up again. Did you need something more for your nest? I can sleep in the same pajamas for a few nights for you… Maybe a few pairs in case the first one loses the scent too quickly.”
The tightness around Alastor’s eyes grows, and barely-there glow of green at the upper corners of his mouth begins to show.
“Um, or not!” Lucifer exclaims, throwing his hands up in front of him. "Shit, sorry, I just assumed—”
“I don’t want that,” the demon bites out, causing that sinking feeling in Lucifer’s stomach to make another appearance. He seems to realize how that sounds, since he hurriedly follows it up with, “I want you there with me.”

Summary
Charlie fidgeted with the flashcards she held. “Look, dad, we all really enjoy having you. Really. It’s been amazing and you’ve done so much for us. But,” she grimaced. “We’ve noticed that your scents’ been a tad strong lately, and we’re wondering if you, you know, might be…” she trailed off in discomfort.
“Going into rut,” Angel Dust said from his spot across from Lucifer. He looked easy-going at first glance, but there was wire-thin tension in his shoulders. Lucifer focused his senses and caught the faint mustiness underlying his beta scent, and his stomach clenched.
It was unease. Charlie’s friend felt uneasy.
Because of him
////
Lucifer does not like being an alpha. Doesn't like anything about being an alpha. With the sudden realization that his rut is approaching, he struggles to cope with all the complicated feelings it brings with it; about him, the hotel, and his place in it.
He doesn't expect to find help in Charlie's annoying-as-shit "hotelier," but Alastor seems to know what he's doing, so...there's that, at least.
