Alastor: *looking at his hellphone* Why hasn’t he responded? The only reason I have this ridiculous thing is to ‘text’ him.
Lucifer: *texting Lilith* Lili how do you spell gorgous? 😭

Bloodlust and Butterflies just hit 100 kudos on AO3! 🥳
Tumblr media
[ID: A screenshot of my fanfiction, Bloodlust and Butterflies, on AO3; the summary reads:
“I’ve been stringing you along for years,” Alastor bragged. “I let you play your silly game knowing you didn’t stand the slightest chance of winning! You see, I’m simply not interested in anything you have to offer me!“
“Well, that’s not entirely true,” Lucifer said. “You aren’t interested in anything I’ve offered you, yet. Perhaps there’s something other than sex you’d be interested in. Another way to tempt you.”
(Divider)
Lucifer decides to tempt hell’s newest Overlord: The Radio Demon. It doesn’t go quite as expected – for either of them.
// End Summary; the next line shows the series this fic is a part of, and reads: Part One of The Unholy Trinity; the statistics read: Language: English; Words: two-thousand, two hundred and fifty eight; Chapters: nine out of nine; Collections: one; Comments: thirty-four; Kudos: one hundred; Bookmarks: thirteen; Hits: one-thousand, nine hundred and twenty // End statistics; at the bottom of the screenshot are two buttons (Edit and Edit Tags) // End ID]
Bloodlust and Butterflies is an AO3 Exclusive and my absolute favorite fic I’ve ever written. Give it a read if you want; just make sure to head the tags.

Might fuck around and make one-sided Radiostatic canon in UH3 just because I can.
Lucifer: *after noticing Vox’s weird, vaguely sexual obsession with Alastor* Do you think Vox is uh…
Lilith: In love with Alastor? Yes.
Lucifer: Does Alastor know?
Lilith: No.
Lucifer: Should we, uh… Should we tell him?
Lilith: Absolutely not.

Actually, the more I’m writing Alastor and Lilith interacting post-Metamours, the more I realize that Alastor has a soft spot for her. Lucifer would never get away with this shit.
It’s not unpressidented, either. From the moment the switch flips in his mind from, “this woman secretly wants to kill me,” to “oh she actually, genuinely does want to be my friend,” there is a noticeable difference.
He’s quicker to warm up to her, to open up and allow himself to express vulnerability. And while some of that is probably because Lucifer loosened the lid on Alastor’s bottled up emotions, I don’t think that’s the whole picture.
He defers to her in a way he doesn’t for Lucifer, even in subspace. He’s willing to let her take the lead in conversations and trusts that he’ll like where she brings them.
He uses her title as a term of endearment and continues to indulge her in her more royal rituals. Mentally, he refers to her as “the Queen of Hell,” where Lucifer is “the Devil.” Lilith could just as easily have been, “the First Woman,” or simply, “Lilith,” but no, he picked the royal title.
He sees her on her throne for the first time in Metamours and thinks she looks, “every bit like the Queen of the Damned.” Then on the Survey Fic epilogue, she’s “as regal and dangerous as the day he’d first seen her there,” and Alastor experiences, “All of the awe and none of the fear from that day fifty-five years ago […] along with a fondness that had been given fifty-five years to take root and flourish.”
I haven’t written Alastor’s reaction to Lucifer on his throne yet, but something tells me it’d be a lot less awe and a lot more wanting to knock him down a peg. Either by fighting, biting, or intentionally being such a brat that Lucifer physically leaves his throne to go punish him.
I know he tells Lilith that he views her as outranking Lucifer because, “your husband spent six years making a fool of himself trying to seduce me while I kept a running tally of his failures,” but I doubt Alastor ever called Lucifer “your Majesty,” with the same reverence he uses for Lilith.
I do kind of have to wonder if it’s a gender thing; if I unintentionally gave Alastor a preference for women before it was even shown on screen.
Like, I had heard Viv’s thing about how he tends to get along better with women than with men, but I cannot stress enough that I didn’t think this aspect of his character would be applicable to this AU.
Especially since Lucifer isn’t even firmly in the ‘man’ category of Alastor’s mind; he’s in his own category because even without knowing the term ‘nonbinary,’ UH3!Lucifer is a shapeshifting Fallen angel who has never been shy about the fact that he does not fit within the human social construct that is gender.
It wasn’t intentional, but I think I’m gonna keep it in mind when writing UH3 Alastor from this point forward.
So, anyway, I had an incorrect quotes idea that wouldn’t leave my head about the dichotomy in the way he views the Morningstars, despite deeply caring for them both:
Alastor, about Lilith: All women are queens.
Alastor, about Lucifer: If he breathes, he’s a thot (affectionate).

Thinking about UH3!Alastor’s feelings on cheating and adultery.
Content Warning: implications of period-typical racism for the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, brief mention of saneism/ableism
Alastor was born out of wedlock. Mainly because interracial marriage was illegal; his father was white and his mother was not.
His father eventually got married to a white woman Alastor has never met, and as far as Alastor is concerned, she’s the other woman. His mother was there first. It doesn’t matter that his parents weren’t married; the unfaithfulness was committed with his father’s new wife, against his mother, and not the other way around. (And honestly, he’s right.)
Meanwhile, his mother likely felt ashamed anyway, and I think he picked up on that. I think he hates his father – for many reasons, and this is one of them – and his step mother, and their perfect little family built on secrets and lies.
And then the Morningstars come along.
Because remember, when Lucifer first starts hitting on Alastor, he has no idea Lilith is in on it. He assumes, up until Bloodlust and Butterflies Chapter 6: The Pride Before, that Lilith doesn’t even know, and up until Metamours, he’s still somewhat convinced that it’s an open secret that Lilith tolerates the way his mother and stepmother did – each vaguely aware of the other’s existence, with neither being too happy about it.
What I’m saying is, Alastor spent SEVEN YEARS thinking he was Lucifer’s affair partner. Or at least that he was playing at being one, when he was still messing with Lucifer during the 6 year failed seduction.
He spent 7 years putting mental distance between himself and Lilith, because if he thought about her too much, he’d run the risk of comparing himself to the woman who stole his father from his mother. (He didn’t even like his father, but it’s the fucking principle of the thing!)
And Charlie adds a whole other layer to things.
Charlie is an only child. Just like Alastor (not including potential half-siblings he never met; I haven’t decided whether or not his father had other kids, but his mother never did).
If Alastor had been Lucifer’s affair partner – as he assumed he was for 7 years – he would’ve not only been stealing Lucifer away from Lilith, but stealing him away from Charlie.
I don’t know if he would’ve felt remorseful, exactly – remorse is a complicated emotion for Alastor, and one he very rarely experiences – but I think it would’ve been devastating all the same if he dwelled on it long enough.
All that anger and hatred he felt for his father and stepmother would be reflected back on himself. His ego would take a huge hit, which – if you’re not familiar with the realities of NPD vs the ableist armchair psych version – could lead him down a self destructive spiral because that’s his coping mechanism, that’s his shield.
So he couldn’t allow himself to think about Lilith or about Charlie. Even more than he couldn’t think about his feelings for Lucifer, he could not under any circumstances think about what that would mean for Lilith and Charlie.
I mean, it’s no wonder he reacted the way he did at the prospect of being under the same roof as them:
A record scratch played from behind Alastor’s head and static hung over his words as he spoke, “At the palace? Where your wife and daughter live?”
“Yes, well Charlie will be out with her friends, so we-”
“And now I’m questioning your sanity,” Alastor snapped, cutting Lucifer short. “Because that still leaves the matter of your wife. I can't imagine she'd be all jakealoo seeing her husband in a romantic setting with another man!”
Hey, how many times do you think Alastor had to consciously ignore Lucifer’s wedding ring?
Mans didn’t take it off when his wife left him in canon; there’s no way it came off during Lilith-sanctioned rendezvous while they’re still happily married. (The Lucilith divorce is NOT canon in UH3.)
Lucifer wouldn’t think anything of it – he’s not doing anything unfaithful; he’s not going against Lilith’s wishes; he has no reason to feel guilty or conflicted about wearing it – but to Alastor, it’s a symbol of the union he’s intruding on.
Gods, I wanna write this so bad. I have so many stories I want to tell in this universe.

Random Facts About UH3 Alastor:
His father was an on-again-off-again feature in his and his mother’s lives until Alastor was 12, and is a big part of why Alastor has BPD traits and gets along better with women than men.
(If you’re new to this AU, or missed my other Cluster B Alastor posts, hi! Author has BPD and accidentally projected onto Alastor. Now I write him as intentionally having multiple Cluster B traits that I do, as well as the ones implied by canon.)
His parents weren’t married – to each other; Alastor has a stepmother he’s never met and doesn’t want to meet.
He claims that drinking was more fun during Prohibition because it was illegal.
He has rose-colored glasses regarding the previous fact; Prohibition-era Alastor absolutely complained about how much harder it was to get alcohol after the ban went through.
He doesn’t view nudity as inherently sexual.
He’s still more comfortable with others’ nudity than his own because he equates it to vulnerability.
He’s panaesthetic and bisensual. He doesn’t know those terms even exist, but picking microlabels helps my writing stay more consistent.
His aesthetic attraction isn’t based at all on gender, but he tends to feel more comfortable with physical affection from women than from men, which skews the sensual attraction a bit.
He can be sensually attracted to men and is sensually attracted to Lucifer, but 1.) it’s rarer and/or takes longer for Alastor to develop sensual attraction to a man, and 2.) Lucifer isn’t a man in the human gender binary sense of the word.
Lucifer is the only nonbinary person Alastor has ever felt any kind of attraction to, but that has more to do with lack of exposure to nonbinary people than anything regarding Alastor’s tertiary orientations.
Alastor may or may not have some gender fuckery of his own going on, but I doubt I’ll ever be exploring that in the main series.
I would describe Alastor’s gender as “man by default.” He doesn’t think about it very often. He’s not exactly an egg; it’s not that he’s in denial or unaware that being something besides a man is an option, it’s that he doesn’t care enough to pick a different label. He’s not dysphoric about being a man, but he’s not supper attached to the idea, either.
I think if he was born into Gen Z, he might identify as agender or cassgender, but as it stands, he inhabits the liminal space between, “I don’t feel strongly about my gender, which means I’m cis,” and “I don’t feel strongly about my gender, which means I’m not cis.” (Both valid experiences, btw.)
He’s 100% the type of person to tell a traumatic story from his childhood as if it’s a funny one and not understand why everyone’s looking at him like that.
He legitimately thinks that these stories are funny, because he’s twisted them around in his mind as an attempt to cope, but they retain enough of the original detail that on the rare occasion he decides to joke about them out loud, people go, “that’s kinda fucked up, actually.”
He has low empathy, but not no empathy. Every now and again, he does actually get some empathy, and every time he does it feels like a slap in the face – surprising and very unpleasant. If he could turn it off entirely, he probably would.
Remorse is a similar ordeal, rare but not unheard of, and he actively denies feeling it.
I started to write more about Alastor’s relationship with the concept of remorse, and remorse vs regret, but honestly, it needs its own post.
I projected a lot of my ace experience onto him, including the idea that kissing is boring 9 times out of 10. Not necessarily unpleasant, just… Boring. If there’s blood or biting or some form of D/s element, then it can be exciting, but otherwise we don’t get it.

Holy shit, guys, kudos on Bloodlust and Butterflies have skyrocketed in the past week.
Tumblr media
It’s been in 3rd place for a while, but I think at this rate, it might surpass my Drarry oneshot, soon? Because no lie, this count has just about doubled since Dad Beat Dad aired. The kudos count was in the 200’s before.
The other fics in The Unholy Trinity are getting notes too. Hell, even Tempting Entertainment – the 2020 precursor to Bloodlust and Butterflies that has terrible pacing – is getting notes. Every day I get my kudos notification email from AO3 and I am blown away by how much love my fics are getting.
Not to mention the huge increase in comments, and my first ever fanart!
Thank you, everyone for your amazing support. I never could’ve dreamed that my silly PWP cannibal kink fic would turn into this. Every kudos, every comment, every bookmark, the fucking fanart – still can’t believe there’s fanart of my fic – it all means the world to me. ❤️

Hey, remember when I said I wasn’t sure when I was going to be able to canonize Lucifer’s gender fuckery in the actual text of UH3, and that I might never touch on Alastor’s?
“I…” Alastor faltered. He could sense Lucifer’s sincerity on the matter, despite it not being at all relevant.
Lucifer was, in his own words, ‘not bound by human concepts of gender,’ with a particular distaste for ‘that strange binary system that’s gotten so popular.’ He actively encouraged demons and humans alike to live as their true selves even if – hell, especially if – that truth was an unconventional one.
And while Alastor legitimately could not care less about his own gender, he didn’t have it in his heart to spurn such genuine kindness from Lucifer. “Thank you for your support on my hypothetical sex change-”
When it’s 1943 and your nonbinary queer platonic partner who is also the Devil tells you he’d support you if you decided to transition or experiment with your gender expression, but that’s not at all the thing you wanted to talk about and half these words don’t exist yet so you’re left fumbling with a lack of terminology.
Also I remembered, this one takes place in 1943 not 1942. Early 1943. Like, January or February. But definitely after the surveys start up.

📝 :3
Send me 📝 in an ask to get a random WIP snippet.
I couldn’t decide whether to give you the lead-up to a kink negotiation or Alastor being Alastor regarding concepts like remorse and feelings.
So here, have both! :3
Content warning for mentions of UH3-typical unrealistic kink, but it’s nothing explicit.
Lucifer was on him in an instant, gripping Alastor’s jaw between his fingers and forcefully tilting his face, angling it downwards so that Alastor’s eyes met his.
The Devil’s voice was like Hell frozen over in its icy calm. “I’ve got half a mind to tear that disobedient tongue right from your mouth,” he said.
“Lucifer,” Alastor purred, his voice slowly filling with static. “Is that a threat or a promise?”
“That depends,” Lucifer replied, releasing his hold on Alastor’s face. The warmth had returned to his words, and his gaze was firm but gentle. “Is it a fantasy or something you actually want?”
Meanwhile, in another UH3 WIP:
Alastor laughed, mirthlessly. “Remorse is for children and weak willed men. I outgrew it by the age of ten!”
“You’re not fooling anybody,” Lucifer teased. “Even if it wasn’t guilt, you felt something. And you were happy to know that you didn’t come between Lilith and I. You’ve got a heart in there after all.”
“Hahaha, on the contrary, my dear friend! While I may indeed have a heart, you’ll find it’s filled to the brim with bloodlust and spite! There’s no room for any of that emotional nonsense you’re blathering on about. I need every bit of it working towards my passion for performance! My romance with radio! And of course, my one true love, murder.”
I’m planning on breaking the last paragraph up a bit with some actions in between, but I really wanted to show off that dialogue.

It’s not Wednesday, but UH3 brainrot has once again consumed me.
I’m supposed to be catching up on Ace Alastor Week, and instead I’m writing ahead in the Season 1 fic.
Sneak peek below, heed the tags.
Content Warning: self harm*, blood, references to canon-typical violence, implied/referenced child abuse, inconsistent terminology regarding sex and gender**
*Whether or not this is self harm could probably be up for debate, but I, personally, consider it to be a form of self harm. Please put your own health and safety first; read with caution of feel free to keep scrolling. Stay safe, readers.
**Alastor sometimes conflates sex and gender because he just doesn’t think about or care what people have in their pants. He grew up in a time where the two were considered interchangeable; while he knows neither sex nor gender are static/that not everyone matches up with the gender they were assigned and will call a trans person by their chosen name/pronouns, gender them correctly, and treat them exactly like he’d treat anyone else, he still gets the terms a little mixed up from time to time. He wouldn’t gatekeep someone based on their transition status, because the physical state of someone else’s body isn’t his concern unless he’s actively in the process of killing them. And even then, he’s not focused on sex characteristics of any kind.
“And all this time, I thought it was mere population control!” Alastor ranted ino the private connection. He was pacing across his meticulously sound-proofed hotel room while his shadow flew from wall to wall.
“Well,” Lucifer began, but Alastor wasn’t done speaking and didn’t care for being interrupted.
“Ha!” Alastor laughed, threading a hand through his own hair. “Can you blame me?” he asked.
A rhetorical question, but Lucifer gave his best attempt at answering. “It is p-”
“They’ve got no style, no finesse! And barely any skill!” Alastor’s shadow curled its claws into fists, and Alastor removed his hand from his hair to keep himself from pulling it or digging his claws into his scalp as he felt the urge to do the same.
“Year after year, decade after decade, it’s nothing but artless, soulless slaughter!” Alastor laughed again, manic, hysterical, and lacking any and all joy. “Is it any wonder I assumed it was simply a mindless masacre?”
“Alastor-”
“Entertainment…” Alastor dug his claws into the inside of his palm, attempting to ground himself with the pain.
“If killing Sinners for one’s own entertainment is so damned Holy, then why is he in Heaven while I’m down here?” Alastor demanded, static rising in his voice. “Why, one could argue that he’s worse than I am!”
“He’s certainly killed more Sinners than I have by now, considering how long the Exterminations have been in effect.” Hell’s history books were patchy at best, and Lucifer only talked about his – and by extension, Hell’s – past in vague, non-specific terms, often while drunk or sentimental. Or both.
Alastor’s claws began to draw blood. “And from the combination of what Charlie and Lilith and you have all told me, he’s a vulgar, disrespectful chauvinist!”
The pain no longer felt like an anchor. It was fuel on the fire that was the rage burning within him, the wrath he felt at the injustice of it all.
“My mother raised me to be a gentleman,” Alastor said. “Any disrespect I show is based on a woman's actions, not her sex. But Adam expected Lilith to bend to his whims simply on the basis of her gender! He talked down to Charlie, likely on the same logic!”
“And yes, I kill because I enjoy it, but I’m selective with my victims! I enact vengeance on behalf of the weak and vulnerable! In life, I corrected the injustices of a corrupt system, and in death I punish those already Damned by their sins!”
Blood was seeping through Alastor’s knuckles. He pushed his claws deeper, sinking them into the meat of his palms.
“So why…?” There were bloodstains on the carpet. Niffty would be quite upset if she learned that the blood was Alastor’s rather than one of his meals’.
“Why?” Alastor repeated, barely audible above his own feedback. His cheeks were wet. He must have gotten blood on them at some point.
Everything was silent for a moment, save for the static Alastor couldn’t reign in.
Then, Lucifer spoke. “It’s complicated,” he said, quietly.
Alastor made an animalistic sound deep in the back of his throat, something between a growl and a whimper. But he let the Devil speak.
“I don’t know the particulars, but murder and vengeance are both Damnable sins.”
“Then why isn’t he Damned,” Alastor said through gritted teeth. “Why hasn’t Adam Fallen?”
Lucifer sighed. “Nepotism?”
Alastor laughed. “Oh, that’s rich coming from you!”
“What the fuck do you mean by that?” Lucifer asked, his volume increasing. “My Father kicked me out of Heaven for falling in love with Lilith and for daring to dream of a world where humanity wasn’t bound by eternal ignorance.”
“And he gave you a kingdom!” Alastor swung his arms, flinging blood across the room with the sheer force of the movement. “He let you and Lilith elope when he could’ve smited you both! Do you think he’d give the same courtesy to his other angelic children, or do the rumors of you being his favorite son hold true, hm, Lightbringer?”
The radio began to smoke and glow with a faint golden light.
“Get that name out of your fucking mouth, Alastor.”
Alastor ignored him, ignored the projections of his power.
“My father never would’ve shown me such benevolence if I’d disobeyed him the way you did yours.” Alastor moved to inspect the bloodstains on the walls. “And the best thing he ever gave me was a lesson in the inherent cruelty of man.”

Guys, I have a conundrum.
Apparently, I fucked up Alastor’s DOD in that I thought it was deer season but was off by a few days.
So, I was gonna retcon his death and move it to December 1933. But then I realized.
It’s the Great Depression. People are Hungry. Even in better times, not every hunter is going to obey hunting laws, but I’d imagine the number of people willing to hunt out of season goes up when your only other option is to starve.
And I think there’s something kind of poetic about Alastor being killed by a poacher while attempting to dispose of evidence.
Two criminals meet in the woods with a bullet as their introduction. One was trying to avoid starvation, the other was satisfying a hunger of a different kind. Both were doing what they thought was necessary, either to survive or to bring justice where the law failed to do so. (Vigilante Alastor is UH3 canon, btw.)
So, my question is:
The results of this poll may not necessarily decide what I make canon, but I’m curious to see your opinions.

Half-Baked Thoughts on Alastor & Charlie’s Dynamic!
(Season 1, Episode 5 Spoilers Below)
Ok, listen… Do I really think canon!Alastor sees Charlie as a daughter? No. He’s 100% doing that to get under Lucifer’s skin.
But. As a long-term Radioapple shipper who loves the idea of an Alastor-Charlie father-daughter dynamic, that musical number will be fueling me for months thank you very much.
Y’all don’t know this, but the UH3 endgame is Alastor basically becoming part of the Morningstar family.

10. Is there a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?
18. What’s one of your favorite lines you’ve written in a fic?
I’m Bored and Anxious So I Slapped Together a List of Fan Fic Writer Asks
Thanks for the ask!
10. Is there a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?
The fact that UH3 gets such a huge, huge amount of positive feedback still surprises me. UH3 technically started out as a rarepair PWP nonsexual smut fic in 2020.
Now it’s been a critical part of at least 2 aroace awakenings, several people’s introduction to nonsexual kink, and gets an almost constant flow of comments on everything from my portrayal of Alastor’s aroaceness to the Lucilith interactions to polyamory to cannibalism kink and aaaaa how did this happen??? It’s got fucking fanart, for fuck’s sake!
It amazes me every day.
18. What’s one of your favorite lines you’ve written in a fic?
Ok, so I don’t have the best memory and needed to actually go and find one. I kind of had one in mind, but then I came across this:
He had a laundry list of excuses – it was simply very enthusiastic blood drinking, lips are sensitive and very convenient to bite, tongues have a fun texture to chew, Lucifer tastes like heaven – but even that had backfired, the sheer number of them suspicious in itself.
And it was so fucking funny I just had to share. Alastor is so deep in his denial here it’s hilarious.
This was back in Bloodlust and Butterflies – Chapter 3 Blasphemy, when Alastor was still calling his make-out sessions with Lucifer “not-kisses.” He’s my favorite unreliable narrator. <3

I am proud to say that I’ve dropped my first F-bomb from Alastor in a fanfiction.
He didn’t say it out loud – because he’s classy like that – but it is there.
