Soulmates never part, not even in death.

I'm sure you've heard of the common legend; The Red Thread of Marriage. The mythical East Asian folk tale that two people are destined lovers, regardless of place, time, or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch, bend, or tangle, but never break. And that's true, the invisible string the mortals called fate, that bound 2 or more souls together, could never be broken. No matter how much magical power you have, not even if you're a Goddess of Love that made the connection. It'll never be broken. The legend was a well common myth in ancient times. It held everyone on their toes, wanting to find their soul mate. But now, in the modern world, almost no one believes it. However, when two demons are pulled together by a said string... everyone they once knew will shift together. I'll tell you the tail of this Red String of Death. The last red string to ever tie itself around two pinkies. ♥DISCLAIMER♥ (っ◔◡◔)っ I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS!! IN THE INTRO, I DO NOT OWN THE SONG!!

[Overlord!Angel in (more or less) Valentino's canon position] Angel Dust is an Overlord and a successful pimp who prioritizes his employees' safety above all else. So when one of them is murdered, he's intent on making sure the killer suffers for it. When the perpetrator turns out to be an even more dangerous Overlord--the Radio Demon--Angel is forced to be strategic about getting his revenge. Alastor, meanwhile, is thoroughly enjoying toying with Angel and discovering the passionate, hot-tempered reality he hides under his tough Overlord persona. Their mutual plans to manipulate one another go awry when they end up sleeping together, which brings a lot of unexpected and conflicting feelings into the mix. Add in some violence, some resentment, a jealous lover and some nosy friends, and this relationship really doesn't seem possible. So why do they both still want it?

Pining, jealous Alastor. Spoiled rotten Angel. What started as just another job becomes something much less familiar. Rated 18+ for Chapter 6 onward | Plagued by affection for Angel and jealousy toward his 'clients,' Alastor comes up with a plan to keep Angel from having to work the streets. He didn't intend to become Angel's sugar daddy...but he has to admit, the position does come with certain benefits that are too sweet to give up. The question is whether Angel will ever be able to let go of his past and allow their relationship to evolve from a business transaction into something more genuine. And even if he wants to, will his past let go of him? (Beautiful cover art by the lovely s3tok41b4 on Twitter)

After being inexplicably let go from Valentino's employ, Angel finds himself a bit lost and lacking direction. Without Val to supply the discipline that's structured his life for the past 50 years, Angel goes looking for it from someone else. Luckily, and much to his surprise, it seems like Alastor is able and willing to provide exactly the control and intensity he needs. But as Angel soon learns, the Radio Demon doesn't do things halfway, and he doesn't compromise. If he wants what Alastor has to offer, he'll have to trade everything he has to get it. What does he have to lose besides himself?
