Just a quick note: this story was written *before* season 1 of Hazbin Hotel was released. All parts featuring characters from the show are therefore based on the pilot, which is why "my" Lucifer is different from how he turned out to be in the show :)... more>>

Christmas depression is a frequent occurrence, and many people suffer from it. The protagonist of this story does too, but they choose a different and somewhat unconventional way to handle the season. When Duke Agarus, a member of the Ars Goetia and demon royalty in Hell, finds himself overwhelmed with the increasing traffic between Hell and Earth, he needs assistance. The only option is an Earth-born who carries the seed of Hell in them, and among the one thousand possible options, only one fulfills the requirements set by Agarus himself, King Bael, Lucifer, and St Peter. And amidst an episode of snowy depression, who could decline such an offer? This is not the conclusive story of the newest member of the Ars Goetia but rather a glimpse into their life between Hell and Earth.

Please keep in mind that this is more of a collection of interconnected short stories, not a traditional novel. The stories are all set in the shared universe of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, but some of the demonic lore is different to fit the plot.

Starts off a bit slow, picks up pace later. <<less
