* The character Sinner in the ''Literature/{{Nightside}}'' book ''Hex and the City'' sold his soul for true love. Upon his death, he was told that his "true love" was actually a demonic succubus by the name of Pretty Poison, who had been roped into the job by Satan and spent ten years pretending to love him. Sinner didn't care, as from his point of view he ''was'' truly in love, and his refusal to give up resulted in Satan kicking him out of Hell because he was ruining the atmosphere. Pretty Poison got curious and followed him up, and [[spoiler:eventually got her angelic status back by sacrificing herself to save him - demons in the Nightside universe, if killed on Earth, lose all their power and become regular damned souls. And in the Nightside, demons and angels can't be entirely unkillable.]]

And in 'verse, it turns them back into an angel. As a bonus, she got to bring Sinner to Heaven with her because his HeroicSacrifice negated the Nightside, demons and angels can't be entirely unkillable.whole "selling your soul to Satan" thing.]]
