By The Lantern-Light (A CherriSnake AU)

No-one else's expertise comes CLOSE to that of the great Sir Calixte Pentious...until he hits a rut, which isn't helped by the routine demolition of his workshop. His arch-nemesis, 'Cherri Bomb' as she calls herself, is starting to become more and more of a nuisance!
But in a dark (and quite inconceivable) turn of events, their lives are about to get very, VERY messy.
They must learn to work together, along with Pentious' adopted twin sons (who do not know when to shut up, so be prepared for that), in order to climb up the social ladder of Industrial Europe while avoiding the piercing gaze of aristocrats with malicious intentions.
Mystery, history, comedy, and romance, oh my! Did I mention that it has ~steampunk?~
--There are a few things I would like to point out about this story:
TW// Suggestive/sexual language, mentions of sexual abuse, prostitution, violence, strong language, substance use, and other themes that may upset some readers. These topics will be addressed in a respectful manner. I will place warnings above chapters that contain any explicit content (with the exception of strong language).
--I'm always accepting constructive criticism, so feel free to comment! Some things I am working on and would especially appreciate:
American vs. European spellings; character voice/tone; word choice in physical descriptions
-"Hazbin Hotel" and its characters are owned by Vivienne Medrano (Vivziepop) and her crew. I do not claim to own any characters unless specified.
