Fate works in mysterious ways, Jaune Arc knows this better than anyone.

He was betrayed as an human, cast out of Heaven as an Archangel, but became a VERY successful businessman as the Devil.

Now, many, MANY years later after his fall from grace, he and his friends/employees at his casino are answering some quetions asked by YOU.

Yes, YOU, the reader.

No it's not a joke, you can ask quetions if you like. Anything as long as it isn't political or TOO religious.

It will be fun. After all, what do you have to lose?

...

...

...

Other than your soul.

The Adventures of Cuphead and Mugman! by tomodaphne
31 parts Complete
This is a retelling of the hit indie game "Cuphead". It tells the story of Cuphead and Mugman, two brothers who live in the mystical Inkwell Isles. While exploring, the boys stumble upon the Devil's Casino. They have a good run of luck, but then the Devil himself shows up and strikes them a deal: if they win, they get the whole casino, but if they lose, the Devil takes their souls. Cuphead blindly accepts--and loses! The Devil takes pity on the poor mugs and gives them a task: collect the soul contracts of his debtors in two days. Will they collect all the souls in time, or will the Devil take their own?! The Delicious Last Course takes place a week after the rest of the series. The Legendary Chalice, who prefers to be called Alice Chalice, takes our cup boys to her home, the mysterious DLC Island. One of her friends, Chef Saltbaker, has come up with a recipe for a Wondertart that'll turn Alice corporeal again, and she needs their help getting the ingredients from some fearsome foes. Will they be able to get the ingredients and make the Wondertart? Sure, you might have heard this story before if you've played the game, but I'm trying to put my own spin on this, y'know, fleshing out the plot and characters more. I really enjoy writing this, and I hope you enjoy reading it. I do not own Cuphead, only this interpretation of it and the character Candy Camera. Cover art by DeviantArt user thatonegalaxygirl. I have also borrowed a few lines from Indeimaus, Slimecicle, Vine, and tamago2474, among other places.

Its been nearly 400 years since Cuphead and Mugman defeated the Devil and King Dice. The boys are gone along with many of the friends they made on their journey. The only ones who remain are the Devil, King Dice, and their immortal crew of soulless workers. With the death of the boys the devil felt brave enough to begin taking souls once more from his gambling wagers. He even felt brave enough to trick people out of their souls again. The isles had no hero's so why even stop there? The casino became a dangerous place for far more reasons than the possibility of losing your soul. It became a place for all of the dark and demented to flock to fulfill their darkest desires. Drugs, prostitution, counterfeiting. It was all in the devils casino and for the most part the devil liked it this way. He had control over it all and he got the souls of those who used his drugs, his women and his fake money or even the souls of those who tried to double cross him. He won at every angle. The only thing he could never have set right with him was the annual slave show. A partner of his in all of his doings would pay him to host his black market human trafficking operation and the Devil found this man useful so he allowed it but never attended. He enjoyed a good hopeless soul but the way those poor people looked as they were brought out in chains, naked as the day the were born, some with fear some just done being alive after all they had endured, it just... it wasn't something he wanted to see. So he stayed away when it came to the casino until now. Now something has caught his attention and he won't stop until it's his and until he figures out why he feels the way he does. (🍋🍋🍋)
Angels & Devils [DISCONTINUED] - An Inkmare Story by UTMVNightLight
8 parts Complete Mature
[NSFW] In this world, we live in a world where everyone's AU has died out, only find out there was a heaven and hell. One per AU. Of course, the 'awares' had this place they could always go to to talk and was considered as the middle. The center, the heart. As well as hang outs, like a place for the Bad Time Trio, etc. Now, they have angels, demons, and the fallen. Fallens are angels who have committed a sin, but not evil enough to become a demon. They are frowned upon. Not considered the same. Sadly, most of them consist of young children. The angels and demons of course would fight. And at the heart of angel society, was Ink. He was the most cutest, pure, and innocent bean you could ever find. Then there was Nightmare. Being able to have him right around his fingers. Every year, if either on the Angel or Devil side, if there isn't another ruler to rule alongside the main one, or 'protector', then there is a specific time you have to find someone. Otherwise, you get kicked off as it is unfair to rule alone. The only reason Ink isn't kicked off is because he has someone ruling with him. Dream & Blue. Of course, Nightmare has only been able to stall by trying to find one, seeing them as not the one, and the counter gets reset. You can't do it forever though. Now, Ink terribly naive for a protector. Of course, he was the heart. He had a place in everyone's heart- With Dream & Blue being the next. Blue being a guard, and Dream being his 'right-hand man.' Most of the time being the one helping and guiding Ink. They soon find him to be missing, captured by the demons. Panic would be spread all over the place if they were to find out Ink was missing. With this, and a limited time to work with, considering if you were to officially become a ruler of somewhere, your heart has to actually want to leave if you were to leave. Would Dream and Blue be able to save Ink? Or would Ink become the next Queen? The next queen of the Demons? Join us on this journey to find out.
