In the Arms of the Father
A/N: Credit to Renowned-Wolf who was a huge help with this chapter.
You are asleep in bed when your woken up by Dusk pouncing on your chest. You look and see Dusk sitting on your chest giving you a big smile.
Dusk: Morning, big brother.
Y/N: Morning, Princess.
Dusk gives you a kiss on the cheek.
Dusk: Come on, Mom and I made breakfast for you!
She excitedly runs out of the room as you slowly get out of bed, groaning, and stretch making your back and various joints pop. You enter the dining room and sit at the table seeing that Dusk and Thorn made you steak, eggs, and hash browns for breakfast.
Y/N: You didn't have to.
Thorn hugs you from behind while Dusk hugs you from the side.
Thorn: We know.
Dusk: But we thought you deserved it.
Y/N: (smiling) Thank you, both of you.
Thorn kisses you on the cheek and Dusk kisses you on the other cheek before both leave you to enjoy you breakfast while Loona and Verosika look on from the next room perplexed.
Later in the day, you are sitting in the living room eating a sandwich when a portal opens and Millie and Sallie May step out.
Millie: Told you Pa would love his Father's Day gift.
Sallie May: Yeah yeah. (to Y/N) Hey, Y/N.
Y/N: How are my Southern Belles doing?
Millie gives You a kiss.
Millie: We were just celebrating Father's Day at the ranch.
Sallie May: And I wanted to catch up with everyone and see my hellhound stud.
Sallie May gives you her own kiss.
Y/N: How is Joe?
Millie: Daddy's doing great.
Sallie May: He's doing serious background checks on all new ranch hands now.
Y/N: Good to hear, tell him I said "hi" next time you see him.
Millie & Sallie May: Will do.
They both each give You another kiss before leaving the room passing by Verosika.
Millie: Thanks for letting me use your Asmodean crystal, Verosika.
Just then Dusk enters the room holding a present which she gives to you.
Dusk: Happy Father's Day.
You open the present and pull out a velvet case which you open to reveal a smoking pipe.
You smile at the gift.
Y/N: This belonged to Dad.
Dusk: Mom and I got it restored, do you like it?
Tears start to build in your eyes as you place your hand on Dusk's head giving her a kiss on the forehead before pressing your forehead to her's.
Y/N: I love it.
You hug and give each other kisses on the cheek before Dusk skips out of the room and you prepare to smoke your new pipe as Sallie May can't help but look on.
Sallie May: Why did Dusk give her brother a Father's Day gift?
Millie: Ever since their Daddy died three years ago Y/N has been Dusk's father figure.
Verosika: Y/N shouldered all the bourdons himself.
Sallie May's covers her mouth with her hands, ashamed she forgot such a thing, then looks back to you with all new respect, admiration, and affection.
Verosika: Come on, Cherri Bomb is on her way to help me record a few songs.
They leave you to smoke your pipe.
Later you and Octavia are getting ready to visit Stolas at the hospital with Octavia planning to give him a small potted plant for Father's Day.
Y/N: Ready, Via?
Octavia's downtrodden expression perks up a little.
Octavia: Yes, I am.
You use Verosika's Asmodean crystal to open a portal to the hospital lobby where Octavia asks Muffy for Stolas' room number while something gets your attention.
Karen: Seriously, again?! Another hellhound! We went through the effort of rescheduling just-
Y/N: The only thing you put effort into is making sure your husband doesn't know he's been cucked.
Karen: Why you-
Y/N: Wait, you're the slut that gave my mom and sister trouble.
Karen: That little flea bag and -
She's cut off as you draw your knife and hold it to her throat.
Y/N: Please, for the love of Lucifer, finish your sentence.
Fortunately for the Karen, Octavia calls you over.
Octavia: Come on, Babe.
You retract the knife leaving a small cut on the Karen's throat. She gives you a dirty look but is met with your death glare and Octavia glaring at her with glowing eyes as you use the Karen's shirt to clean your knife before you and Octavia exit the lobby.
Stolas is lying on his hospital bed, hooked up to an IV and a beeping heart monitor, when you and Octavia enter the room.
Octavia: Hey Dad.
Stolas looks up and smiles.
Stolas: Via, Y/N!
They walk up to Stolas' bed and Octavia places the plant on the nightstand.
Octavia: Happy Father's Day.
Stolas: Oh, Via, it's beautiful.
Father and daughter smile at each other then Octavia leans over and gently hugs Stolas who reciprocates. You look on, letting them have their moment. The three of you talk about how the day has gone, Stolas talking about the various medical procedures he had to go through and Stolas asking you how you're handling the day.
Stolas: Y/N, I imagine this day can't be easy for you.
Y/N: I've managed. I've been Dusk's father figure for at least three years and she always celebrated Father's Day with me.
You pull out your new smoking pipe.
Y/N: She gave me this today, it used to be my Father's.
Stolas: Aww, she's just the most precious thing.
Eventually it came time to depart with Octavia giving Stolas one last hug and a kiss on the cheek.
Stolas: Wait, Via. I would like to speak with Y/N alone for a moment.
Octavia: I'll be right outside, Y/N.
Octavia gives you a kiss on the cheek before stepping out of the room while you walk up to the side of the bed and Stolas grab your hand.
Stolas: Y/N, my boy. I can't thank you enough for what you've done for my daughter. (tears up) You've made her happy in ways I never could.
Y/N: Octavia is very special to me and I love her dearly.
Stolas: I couldn't ask for a better son-in-law. (tightens his grip) Now, Y/N, there's something important I need to ask you. If anything happens to me-
Y/N: Stolas -
Stolas: If ANYTHING happens to me, (a tear rolls down his face) please look after my Via. Promise me.
Y/N: (deeply exhales) I promise to do everything I can to look after your daughter and the woman I love.
Stolas lets go of your hand and places it on your shoulder.
Stolas: Come here.
He uses what little strength he has to pull you into a hug.
Stolas: Truly could not ask for a better son-in-law.
They separate with Stolas laying down and closing his tired eyes as you exit the room.
Octavia: Ready?
Y/N: Ready.
Octavia: What did my Dad say?
Y/N: That he was eternally grateful for everything I've done for his precious little owlet.
You kiss and nibble Octavia's neck making her laugh.
Octavia: Y/N, stop it!
Y/N: He also said he couldn't ask for a better future son-in-law.
Octavia: Really?! Good to know you have his approval.
Y/N: Now you just need my Mom's approval.
The two of you laugh before opening a portal back to your and Verosika's house where you meet a couple of unexpected guests.
Y/N: Charlie, Vaggie?!
Charlie: Hey, Puppy.
She runs up and embraces you giving you a brief but passionate kiss before snuggling into your fur.
Y/N: What brings you here, not that I'm complaining.
Vaggie: She was feeling down so I suggested she see you and Dusk.
Just then Dusk enters the room.
Dusk: Charlie?!
Charlie: Dusk!
They hug with Charlie spinning Dusk then kneeling down and snuggling with each other.
Y/N: I think it's working.
Later that evening everyone is gathered in the dining room with you sitting at the head of the table and everyone enjoying a dinner prepared by Thorn, Dusk, Millie, and Sallie May. Afterwards you and Thorn put a tired Dusk to bed.
Y/N: Goodnight, princess.
Dusk: Goodnight, Y/N. Happy Father's Day.
Y/N: Thanks, Dusk, I love my gift.
Dusk just smiles as you give her a kiss on the forehead before saying goodnight to Thorn.
Y/N: Goodnight, Mom.
Thorn: Goodnight, Son. (she places her hands on either side of your face) You are so much like your father.
The two of you share a hug and give each other a kiss on the cheek.
Later you and the girls are sitting around the fireplace with you drinking a couple dark n stormies as Charlie and Vaggie ask about Fenrir while looking at a picture of him.
Charlie: Wow, you look so much like your father.
Loona: No mystery where he gets it from.
Vaggie: Did he teach you everything?
You finish your drink and talk with a slight slur.
Y/N: Yes, he did. Taught me fighting almost daily and he often took me hunting in Wrath.
Charlie: (excited) Really?! What was that like?
Y/N: If someone gets me another drink, I'll tell you.
At that moment Coco takes the empty glass from you while Apple hands you a filled glass.
Apple & Coco: Here you go, Daddy.
They each give kisses on the cheek.
Y/N: Thanks, my chocolate covered apple.
You return the kisses as Apple and Coco giggle then you take a sip from your drink.
Y/N: I was around twelve years old and Dad took us on a hunting trip to the wilderness of Wrath.
Flashback to the Wrath Ring wilderness where a twelve year old you is seen sitting by a fire while sharpening a hunting knife. Your father's deep gruff voice is heard.
Fenrir: Boy.
You sheath your knife before quickly standing up and turning to your father who's walking up with a nervous Thorn following behind.
Y/N: Father?
Fenrir: Your Mother and I are hungry, feed us.
He tosses you a bow.
Y/N: Yes, sir.
You gather your quiver and arrows while your parents converse.
Thorn: Are you sure about this?
Fenrir: Y/N has to learn, if not now then when?
Thorn: Is he ready for-
Fenrir: He'll never be ready if we keep codling him.
Thorn sighs in defeat.
Thorn: Be careful. If anything happens to him, it's your ass.
Fenrir: (smirking) Of course, have some faith in us.
Y/N: Ready, father.
Thorn: Be careful, son.
Fenrir: Boy, today we hunt Hell deer.
Y/N: Yes, sir. Where do we go?
Fenrir: The way of Hell deer.
Y/N: Uh, right.
Father and son make their way from the camp and into the wilderness.
Y/N: Which way?
Fenrir: Your hunt, you tell me.
Y/N: South?
Fenrir: (slightly annoyed) Is that a question?
Y/N: South.
You start jogging South, followed closely by his father, until he notices something and stops.
Y/N: Tracks, they're fresh!
You continue tracking until you spot the Hell deer and take aim with your bow as Fenrir quietly advises you.
Fenrir: Stay calm, breathe.
You let loose your arrow which goes through the Hell deer's leg but it runs off.
Y/N: Damnit! Now it's guard is up. Sorry Fa-
Fenrir: Don't be sorry, be better. You didn't kill it, however you shot it's leg, it can't get far. (you smile) Let's finish your hunt.
You follow the trail of blood and broken branches until you once again spot the Hell deer. You ready your bow and arrow.
Fenrir: Relax, don't think of it as an animal. It is simply a target. Clear your mind, breath in, feet solid. Steady yourself, exhale, and release.
You shoot the arrow, hitting the Hell deer, making it fall over.
Y/N: I got it!
Fenrir: Good, boy.
As you make your way over, a hog comes barreling in and starts devouring the deer.
Y/N: It stole our kill!
You take aim again, but your father stops you.
Fenrir: Wait, boy! Arrows and bullets are useless, the armored hyde is too thick. You have to pry your way under the hyde or go for the underbelly. Watch me.
Fenrir sneaks up on the hog and jumps on it's bac,k grabbing the tusks causing it to fall on it's side where Fenrir tears out a chunk of hyde with his claws and rips the head off killing it.
Y/N: That was awesome, Dad! Hope I can do that one day.
Fenrir: One day soon. You've gotten faster, stronger, better. I'm proud of you, Y/N.
Y/N: Ha, maybe one day I'll be better than you.
Fenrir: If you haven't, then I've failed.
???: (mockingly) Aw, ain't that sweet?
You and Fenrir turn to see an imp wearing makeshift armor made of bones and surrounded by similarly dressed imps.
Y/N: Who are you?!
Fenrir: We have no quarrel with you!
???: That's where you're wrong, fleabag. Name's Skull Death, by the way.
Y/N: Stupid fucking name.
Fenrir: (sarcastic) So intimidating.
SD: Shut the fuck up! Now my boys and I have been tracking that hog all morning and since you took the kill from us, I think you owe us some compensation.
Y/N: We don't owe you shit!
Fenrir: Boy.
SD: So just, uh, hand over the hog and all your possessions, your weapons, your clothes, everything.
Fenrir: No.
SD: Alright then, hand over the kid and-
Fenrir: Touch him and you will die.
SD: Well, those are your only two options, so take it or-
You shoot an arrow through SD's mouth and out through his cheek.
Y/N: We choose option three.
You fire two more arrows hitting another imp in the throat and a third one through the eye and out the back of her head.
Meanwhile Fenrir draws his axe and cuts an imp in half and another then buries his axe in the face of a third imp.
Three more converge on you. You shoot one with another arrow, then draw your hunting knife and slit the second one's throat before gutting the third.
SD just keeps yelling at his men before a larger imp shows up and starts grappling with Fenrir. Fenrir gets a few cuts with his axe but the imp keeps coming, clearly hawked up on some kind of drug.
The axe gets stuck in the large imp's ribs and gets pulled from his hands forcing Fenrir to fight with his claws. Despite getting several slashes the larger imp manages to pin down Fenrir who looks up and sees his son getting overwhelmed by other imps as SD walks up to you and hold him at gunpoint.
SD: Ha ha! I've got plans for you, mutt!
Fenrir's rage consumes him and he tosses off the larger imp.
https://youtu.be/aNPgcGlSFE8
He breaks free and charges at the imps, tearing a few in half, ripping others to shreds with one swing of his claws, biting the head off another, rips a boulder out of the ground and throws it crushing three more imps, punching one so hard they splatter on impact, and then he turns back to the large imp and rips both his arms off and uses them to beat the large imp to death.
SD is frozen with fear, having let you go as Fenrir stomps over to him. Before SD could even start begging for his pathetic life Fenrir gets his hands on him, we don't see what happens but hear SD's horrified pain filled screams that come to a sudden halt as a loud splattering noise is heard. Fenrir sits down on a rock and looks at you, who has a shocked expression.
Fenrir: Y/N, Son, come here.
You steadily, almost timidly, walk to your father who gently grab your head and inspect you for any injuries before gesturing you to sit across from him. They momentarily sit in silence.
Y/N: Dad?
Fenrir: I'm sorry, Son, I didn't want that to be how you found out about my other half. I have led a violent life. Being in Hell, the violence won't stop. I've been trying to prepare you for any oncoming violence that you will face. But what you saw just now is in you too and you must control it.
You can't help but look down before Fenrir kneel in front of you and puts his hands on your shoulders.
Fenrir: Know this. No matter what, I will never hurt you or your mother. This is a long dark journey and I will guide you as best as I can for as long as I can. Do you understand? Are you ready?
Your expression changes to resolve and determination and you nod at your father who has a proud tear roll down his face as he smiles.
Fenrir: Again I am sorry, Y/N.
Y/N: Don't be sorry, be better.
Fenrir smirks and chuckles.
Y/N: Ha, I actually got a chuckle.
Fenrir: You're a smartass like your mother.
You look down and sees SD's bag and look through it finding a bottle.
Fenrir: Be a shame to let that go to waste.
You pull the cork out and smell what's in the bottle and your face scrunches up in reaction before you hold it out to your father who refuses and points telling you to drink.
You manage to choke down a mouthful cringing at the taste while handing the bottle to your father who, with a smirk, chugs the whole bottle before tossing it over his shoulder.
Y/N: Are we taking the hog back?
Fenrir: Yes, grab the head. Also it's probably best if your mother doesn't know about this.
Y/N: Know about what?
The two of you laugh then tie up the hog and Fenrir carries it back while smoking his pipe. He offers it to you, though you decline making Fenrir laugh.
The flashback fades to modern day and you had just finished your drink and nodded off to sleep as the harem gave you loving looks, each one fantasizing about what kind of father you would be.
Loona envisions herself watching you training your puppies, three daughters named Freki, Geri, and Garm, who all resemble their mother and a son who looks exactly like you named Fenrir.
Verosika envisions you teaching how to play guitar to your son, Baldur. A ruggedly handsome incubus with the eyes, claws, and teeth of his father as well as a short hellhound muzzle and a goatee tied into two braids.
Millie envisions three children. Twin sons wrestling with each other, Magni and Modi, who have horns and cloven hooves like their mother but broad, stocky, and muscular builds like their father. Along with a daughter, Thrud, who's smaller than her brothers but faster. Millie looks to Sallie May needing all the help she can with these three.
Octavia envisions her and your sons, twins Huginn who's reading the stars and Muninn who's tending the plants.
The succubi each envision having children with you. Apple has a son named Freyr, Coco has a daughter named Freya, Kiki has a daughter named Gefjon, and Milky has a son named Bragi.
Charlie envisions having a son named Surtr, he has his father's eyes, teeth, and claws and from his mother he got his horns and black wings and a burning crown floating above his head. She and Vaggie embrace at the thought of raising a child together with you.
Mara and Cherri Bomb, as sinners, are unable to bare children but know for a fact that the others are gonna need all the help to raise your children.
Each of them gives you a kiss and leave you to peacefully sleep as the scene pans over to a picture of you and Fenrir sitting around a fire.
End of chapter. Happy Father's Day to any dads reading this and to the two best dads in the Hellaverse
