History Fanfic / AMonsterAndASaint

* DidntSeeThatOneComing: Velvette is so shocked to learn that Sera is the Saint that she drops her phone, something she literally hasn't done since coming to hell.

* WalkingTheEarth: In self-imposed exile from Heaven, Sera wanders the streets of Hell with no permanent home, helping any sinner who seems to be in need by healing their injuries or listening to them talk about whatever they need to talk about. [[spoiler:Becomes more permanent later on; in the resolution, Emily reveals to her that Heaven sentenced her to spend the rest of her years atoning in hell. She is fine with this, since she was going to do it anyway.]]

* GoodFeelsGood: [[spoiler:After Valentino and Vox die, Velvette releases all the souls she owns from their contracts, feeling there's no point anywhere now that the Vees are done. She admits to Sera that it felt good.]]

* ImmuneToBullets: Sera has gotten shot at multiple times by demons, but they all bounce off harmlessly since they're not made of angelic steel.

* SignificantWardrobeShift: In Heaven, Sera wore an elegant blue and white gown fitting her status as the High Seraphim. After exiling herself to Hell, she clothes herself in various ragged garments and wraps her face in a bandage to hide her identity. [[spoiler:In the story's resolution, Sera is given her clothing from back in Heaven and decides to cut it up into a new Saint of Hell outfit.]]

It's also part of a series called A Helluva Hotel, and is followed by a series of one-shots taking place at the same time, one each starring [[VillainProtagonist Lute]], [[RightfulKingReturns Lucifer]], and [[GreaterScopeVillain Lilith]].

* AdaptationalVillainy: Deerie wasn't a good angel by any means in ''Helluva Boss'', being a terrible employer to the Cherubs who kicked them out for a minor mistake. Here, she ends up gleefully joining Lute's Exorcist rebellion to plan out the genocide of Hell. It's also revealed that the real reason she kicked them out wasn't because they accidentally killed Lyle, but because she didn't want to be bothered with the paperwork.

* GroinAttack: [[spoiler:After Sera kills Valentino, Angel takes Vaggie's spear and stabs what's left of him in the groin as a last "fuck you" to the abusive demon who made his life miserable.]]

* HiddenDepths: Velvette is revealed to [[spoiler:not actually approve of Valentino's rapist tendencies even if she ignores her reservations for the sake of her own gain. She's also not even really British, but Scottish (adopting the accent because it sounds sophisticated).]] Cherri is also revealed to have a Bachelor's in Literature.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Lute and the exorcists convince themselves that Pentious must be a hoax despite this making absolutely no sense simply because admitting the truth would mean admitting that they were wrong.
