[Sequel to Sanctuary] Alastor (or rather, Father Bouchard) is caught between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, he has his calling in the church and his service to God. On the other, his love and irresistible desire for Angel. He knows he can't have both, but he finds himself struggling to let either one go. Angel, meanwhile, is still keeping a very big secret and letting Alastor 'believe the best of him.' He plans to share it eventually, of course, but it's just so nice to be seen as good for once. What he doesn't count on is Alastor finding out on his own. Or his reaction to learning the truth about Angel's history.

Angel has never felt like he belongs in church. Considering all the depraved shit he's had to do to take care of himself, he's not even sure he belongs in God's sight. That starts to change when he meets and befriends a priest named Alastor, who reminds him that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. No one else sees Angel the way Alastor sees him. He's never had anyone believe that he's capable of goodness and virtue. Still, he finds the experience so surprisingly comforting he can't seem to walk away from it. But developing feelings for a man who's sworn off romance in service to God would put Angel in a very complicated position. Especially if those feelings are reciprocated.

But their domestic bliss is interrupted when the rest of Alastor's family starts to enter the picture. His siblings and parents all seem to have their own ideas about who he should be and how he should act, ideas that may not sync up with the person he is now. Struggling to please them *and* keep his husband and child happy, the Radio Demon might no longer have the option to keep pretending everything is perfect.

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)

What do you do when you have a crush on a tattoo artist? If you're normal, maybe ask him out for coffee. If you're Alastor, you go all in and get him to put a huge, permanent art piece on your body as a means of flirting. And maybe in doing so, you realize that you're more of a masochist than you thought and the tattooing process can be...surprisingly intimate.

What does he have to lose besides himself?

Human!Angel AU involving Hanahaki Disease, demon contracts, mob boss Angel, jealous Alastor, lots of flirting, and LOTS of pining. Rated 18+ for Chapter 9 onward. | Alastor is in love, and it's quite literally killing him. If he can't get the object of his affections--a frustrated young mafia prince named Angel--to love him back, he risks more than just a broken heart. But somehow, when he tries to confess, he ends up in a different sort of relationship than expected: a contract for Angel's soul. Well, six of one, half a dozen of the other, right? He can still make this work if he's careful about it. Surely he can fulfill his promise to make Angel into New York's most successful mafioso, protect him from his abusive father, keep him out of his manipulative ex's clutches, and win his love, all at once. That will be the easy part. Keeping his own feelings in check, however, might prove a little more challenging.
