    Summary

    Something dark stirs among the trees. Encroached upon on all sides by the invading Marquisate and the ruthless Eyrie, agitated by cults and rebellions, something has woken up in the heart of the Dimwood.

    In her hour of need, The Dimwood finds her champions: a conman, a disgraced deputy sheriff, a double-agent, a runaway, an equally disgraced lawyer, and a pastry chef accused of murder.

    They may not know it yet, but soon they'll be thrust together into a world of ancient magics and forgotten lore, haunted as much by the ghosts of old gods as the pasts they run from. Will they have what it takes to save the day?

    Summary

    Lucifer has tracked his movements; he has seen how he fills a room with dramatic flourishes and well-timed laugh tracks. He’s seen him squeeze shoulders and press his face close, coo at others with condescending head-pats and insulting taps to the tips of noses. The face Vaggie had made when Alastor bent over and kissed the back of her hand in a sick travesty of gentlemanly grace almost makes him laugh out loud at the memory. He covers up the sound with a small clearing of his throat. The pure, unadulterated disgust on her features was more than enough to ensure a repeat performance when she least expected it.

    That’s what Alastor did it for. The reaction. The control.

    Putting aside Niffty, there was only one other exception that he has noticed in his time at the hotel.

    Himself.

    Or: 4 times Lucifer touches Alastor and 1 time Alastor touches him back.

    Summary

    He looks around his room, at the evidence of Lucifer’s presence in his life. The spare coat near the door and the drawer full of identical bowties. He walks to the bed they share, sitting down slowly. He thinks of what he can’t see. The tiny rubber duck that sits on the edge of his bathtub, a vanity full of hair products and face creams, and the two long, flowy bathrobes on hooks.

    “Nope! I like yours! Looks like you’ll just have to get another one,” Lucifer had said with a huge grin on his face when he offered to get him his own robe instead of continuing to steal the demon's.

    Alastor leans back, flat onto the bed with his feet on the floor, and thinks.
