Let's get one thing clear out of the gate; this fic completely sold me on the idea that Alastor would cash in his favor with Charlie in order to marry her for his own personal gain. It would totally suit his character and be a great option for the actual series to take when the time comes. However, this fanfic completely fails to actually use this concept effectively; in such a story, Alastor should be the scheming villain that he is in the actual show, trying to usurp Lucifer's power or set himself up as his heir. As it stands this is a thinly-veiled Chaggastor shipping fanfic with a lot of meandering and people acting out of their canonical character. That being said, I cannot help but find myself oddly attached to this story; perhaps it's how clearly a lot of work went into expanding the world of the Hellaverse in believable ways, or that I can constantly see the boundless potential this story should have unlocked at every turn. Either way, I can only hope that the author improves their work going forward and that their next project takes canon into greater consideration.
Fanfic I am inordinately obsessed with this 4/10 fanfic
