Your Coal
by Angrish (Lettuce Bean)
- Recommended: by Hanashan
- Status: Completed
- Synopsis: You didn't ask for this. Who the hell signed you up for this shit?
Okay, it wasn't as bad. Demons here just wanted to eat you except they couldn't because another demon told them not to. That was reassuring. Time to cause as much trouble as you could just to screw back with them.Maybe it wasn't as terrible as you thought. Or you were just adapting to this place, breathing demon air, sleeping in demon beds.
You liked these people; yes, they were people to you. They meant something to you.
Then when one of them killed you, you came back to be a stand-in, a living ghost of someone you never knew.
You couldn't hurt them like they hurt you. But it wasn't about that anymore. Now it was how spitefully you were going down.A retelling of Chapters 1-16 of a reluctant MC who learned to trust and got punished for it.
- Comments: YMMV, the MC is incredibly arrogant and kind of unlikeable, so fair warning their personality might not be your cup of tea, or the disjointed storytelling. I couldn't get past the first chapter because of the Reader.
- With a tropes page.
Cause You Don't Really Want To Go by polandspringz

- Synopsis: Mammon had been dealing with his brothers’ insults for millennia, long before the human exchange student had shown up in their world. Since their fall from heaven, he had been the one tossed into the most fires, had the most bones broken, and been locked outside at least twice a week in the absolute zero temperatures that Hell’s nights reached. Any small mistake was met with a new demeaning jab, anything larger was met with a new string of bruises and cuts along his flesh.
It was fine. He had always been fine.
So why was this time so different?
Tears in Starfall by Angrish (Lettuce Bean)

- Status: In Progress
- Synopsis: Stars rise and fall, and so will he. Except he can’t remember a time he had done anything but fall.
Belphegor, the caged demon who hates, lies, and breaks more than promises.In contrast, you do not trick him. Nor are you capable of lying. And that’s fine because only truths hurt him the most.
An abridged synopsis of a demon who would take everything back just to mess it up again, but then he’d have the chance to change what counted. Instead, he watches as the human who could’ve given him more than redemption finds fulfillment in the worst elsewhere.
- Comments: Another take on the "MC doesn't forgive Belphegor"-type stories, with more spotlight on Belphegor and his feelings. Made by the same author of Your Coal, if you thought the MC was too abrasive in that story, this one has a much different angle and response to their original death.
Journey to the Attic by astairekin

- Status: Ongoing
- Synopsis: Regular human kid gets zapped down to the Devildom and ends up being an excellent catalyst for character development, as well as found family magnet. Retelling of Obey Me's Season One (Lessons 1-20), though the adherence to canon gets looser and looser as the fic goes on.
- Tags: Family of Choice
- Comments: It's quite wordy, so be prepared for that before reading, but it's absolutely worth it on my opinion. Super heartwarming, deals with a lot of the stuff canon glosses over (mainly Lesson 16), and gives you some delightful original characters as well.
- Comes with a tropes page.
