Alastor met the others at the center of the arena, ears perking at the prospect of a four on one match.
“Feels like a hell of a lot of overkill,” Lucifer said, shooting him a look. “Pretty unfair odds?”
“You’re welcome to find a fifth if you’re so concerned,” Alastor replied as he examined his claws.
Lucifer’s eye twitched, his whip-like tail lashing. “Let’s just get this over with so I can teach Charlie and her team how a real pro plays.”
Charlie stepped between hem, brow pinched. “I really don’t think this is necessary. We need a Strategist and Alastor’s one of the best!”
“Says who?” Angel grumbled. “The Vees have been doin’ just fine without him.”
Alastor didn’t rise to the bait, instead signaling to Husk. The lights around them flashed, indicating the match was about to begin.

When Alastor leaves the Vees and becomes the Hazbin’s Strategist, he expects some growing pains with the newer, dysfunctional team. The last thing he expects is for Lucifer Morningstar, the best player in the sport’s history, to come out of retirement and join too.
Until he winds up in a fake relationship with the man, that is.
Trying to thwart the political machinations of the upper echelons of Hell, Lucifer and Alastor enter into a mutual partnership. The boundaries get blurred over the course of a year as they continually have to work on 'making it work'. Nobody ever said that fake relationships would be easy.
At a lively Halloween party hosted by his cousin Asmodeus and his boyfriend, Lucifer, dressed as a sexy nun, reconnects with his daughter Charlie and his best friend / ex-wife Lilith. Lilith mistakenly assumes Lucifer is dating a stranger at the party who, coincidentally, is dressed as a priest. She encouraged him to just go for it and give him a literal push in the right direction.
The "priest," named Alastor, introduces himself, and after some banter, asks Lucifer to pretend to be his boyfriend to avoid unwanted attention from another guest. Lucifer agrees and they both start their play, spending their time sharing drinks, laughter, and dancing together.
As the night progresses, their playful act starts feeling more genuine, blurring the line between acting and genuine connection.
