Ehh. I've definitely encountered Radioapple fics where he's turned into a smol little woobie deer-boy, and I'm not personally into that. But I'm also very much not into dark-fuck-prince style Alastor, either.

Ultimately, I just want semi-feral!bottom!Alastor and service-top!Lucifer, and they're both very repressed and confused and weird about it. I don't want Alastor to be soft for Lucifer, but I am very interested in exploring his potential for vulnerability - as well as his deep commitment to never appearing vulnerable.

In ships where one character is harsh, domineering, and obsessed with control, and the other is comparatively unassuming and wants to be helpful and good, I'm almost always going to headcanon the one who's obsessed with control as the sub/bottom, because it's just what I personally find way more interesting.

I love when the relationship a pairing has with each other directly challenges the characters' sense of self. There's a lot of ways that can manifest. Having the prickly, obsessed-with-control character grapple with the fact that they want to be bent over a table and fucked stupid, while the character who feels like they exist to serve the purposes of others and is totally out of touch with their own authentic desires grapples with feeling possessive, lustful, and dominant is one way it can be done, and it's a ship dynamic I'm particularly fond of.

There's also some ambiguity when it comes to what landed Alastor in hell, as well as the shit he's done since he got there. There's no question that he's done some monstrous things, but when it comes to the stuff he's done in hell there's a certain degree of "When in Rome" moral flexibility at play, and the idea that he was a Dexter-style serial killer in life is a popular bit of fanon. Personally I enjoy the ambiguity of Alastor's character. I find a character who is skirting the moral event horizon and whose exact nature is a mystery, to be far more interesting than a character whom we know is simply a monstrous psychopath incapable of real goodness or empathy.

You have my interest!
