Summary
Alastor notices that Lucifer seems to be suffering from the aftereffects of Vox's attempted coup and, well, he's never been one to turn down such a prime opportunity to make a deal with a Morningstar. Lucifer doesn't have to know what Alastor is really gaining from the arrangement.
A companion piece to Toothless featuring Alastor's POV. The idea is to be able to read both of them separately if you wanted.

Summary
“What, do you think this is my entire plan? A year-long espionage campaign conducted for the sole purpose of seeing the spymaster of this realm in his shirtsleeves? Get over yourself.” Caleb had thought that a trip to an herbalist’s shop had seemed like a perfectly innocuous prospect. Doing so while following Essek through the maze-like alleys and corridors of the Night Market had even seemed like a pleasant way to while away a chilly autumn afternoon. Now, though? Now Essek is sprawled out on the divan in Caleb’s study, looking anxious, flushed, and more than a little feverish. Caleb has to admit: the day’s events have taken a bit of a turn.

Summary
Alastor doesn't care for his second gender--second genders in general. He doesn't like not feeling in control of his body, his mind.
Needing things.
He has had one rut, and that was all he was ever going to have as far as he was concerned.
Lucifer on the other hand is extremely confident in his second gender, and knowing creation inside and out, sees everyone's instincts as necessary....everything is just...biology. How they were created. So, why is Alastor so against it all?

Summary
As a grease monkey turned college freshman, Dean's constantly three seconds away from being stressed out of his mind. It hardly helps that he's finally figuring out his sexuality in his thirties.
What might help with that stress is a little phone number (and a big credit card bill). If he can't figure out how to be bisexual in person, he can at least give it a go over the phone, right?
(It's probably a bad idea, but he really can't help himself.)

Summary
Although Alastor and Lucifer have been dating for a few months, they haven’t bothered with taking the next steps. Truthfully, Alastor has never been interested in any of that - until one evening, when he sees Lucifer wearing his red overcoat.
(Half-naked.)
And that’s when everything spins wildly out of control.
-- in which they learn about every form of romantic intimacy, together (aka the 18+ spin-off for Of Saints and Sinners)
