Summary
Two weeks after the battle of the hotel, Charlie and the others are still reeling from their losses and changes. Alastor hasn’t returned, Pentious is gone, and there’s a whole new hotel to set up as they prepare for new Sinners in the program. And to make matters even stranger, an unexpected person shows up at the hotel doors asking for sanctuary: Lilith, Queen of Hell, missing for seven years.
Charlie is more than happy to give her mom a place to stay and hide after hearing the story of her kidnapping. But Lilith has other objectives in mind, and Charlie finds herself shoved into an empty pocket world made of literal nothingness for her own protection.
Well, nearly empty. At least she knows where Alastor is, now.

Summary
Barely a week and a half after Alastor’s contract is re-written, Charlie falls ill. Naturally, of course, she chooses the one day her father is out of the Pride Ring on business to grow sickly, and makes it Alastor’s problem.
Tending to Charlie while she is ill should not be a complicated endeavor, even so. And yet, it gives Alastor an uncomfortable amount of time to contemplate the nature of their relationship after The Beginning. As bonded survivors of the Nothing. As soul owner and owned soul. As family and friends. And, most frightening of all, as a parent and child.
His afterlife used to be so simple. How has it grown so complicated?
