- A relatively new writer in the fandom, their "Helluva Boss 'Episodes'" series features very tight characterization, good pacing, interesting and believable additions to the Hazbinverse lore and an excellent balance of both drama and comedy. "Heist-'n-Mighty", in particular, feels like it could be an actual episode.
- Recommended by Magma Tea Merry
- He’s a professional writer by trade, and it really shows; His series ”The Holy Monster Saga” is a wonderfully intriguing and suspenseful multi-part story concerning a crazy priest who goes after our merry band of murderers. The pacing, characterization and dialogue is very tight and feels true to canon, and the relationships between the characters are explored in detail and given a lot of nuance and depth, especially in part 2 which concerns Moxxie finally getting fed up with Blitzo’s mistreatment of him in the wake of Unhappy Campers and leaving the company.
General Fics
Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.

- Synopsis: Taking place immediately after Ozzie's, Blitzo and Stolas face their relationship, Millie and Moxxie experience in-law problems, and the daughters begin to find their identities in the world. An overarching 'whodunnit' arises, leading to a tragedy befalling the crew. How will their stories resolve when the tie-that-binds comes up cut?
- Comments: Temporarily canon-divergent, overall an incredibly well-written 'What-If?' fic. Majorly depressive and angsty after the first interlude, albeit with a mood uptick as the fic goes on. Spoiler
- Warning: Major character death, graphic depictions of violence, references to suicidal tendencies and drug use.
- Recommended by: Gordhanx
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: Enough is enough. Moxxie is done with his boss' increasingly worsening treatment and insults, finally serving ties with I.M.P. and quitting.
- Comments: Very bittersweet but wonderfully cathartic two-shot of Moxxie finally standing up to Blitzo and quitting after enduring too much of his rotten treatment. While it is rather painful to see the little guy, and to some extent Blitzo, throughout this short story, it is very satisfying to anyone who is tired of seeing Blitzo treating his supposed best friend like crap too often.

- Synopsis: What if the wedding massacre in ”Exes And Oohs” went a bit differently? Like, say, Crimson’s mafia putting up a bit more of a fight than expected and giving Millie and Blitzo a slightly tougher time… And what if a small piece of debris with sharp edges landed within reach of a certain Bound and Gagged freckled imp, giving him a chance to free himself…?
- Comments: This is a rewrite of the climax of ”Exes And Oohs” where Moxxie gets a chance to shine alongside both Millie and Blitzo - Not only does he put up even more of a fight both before and during the wedding ceremony itself, he also gets to pull a Badass Out Of Distress by freeing himself and joining his wife and boss in the Curb-Stomp Battle, even returning the favor with a Big Damn Heroes moment of his own… And all of this is done in a way that feels perfectly in-character and gives all three of them something to do without overshadowing each other. For those of you who were disappointed at Moxxie not getting to do anything during the fight scene, sorely miss him being portrayed as an equal to his colleagues and are tired of his Designated Victim status in the fandom, not to mention wanting to see him deal a seriously damaging blow to his abusive father, then this one-shot might be right up your alley.
- Warnings: Some graphic depictions of violence

- Warning: Graphic depictions of violence and self-harm, entirely skippable sex scene in chapter 6.
- Recommended by: Tropemaster849
- Status: One-Shot
- Synopsis: The cinderblock reads JUST MARRIED. (A bit of a different spin on how things could have gone at the end of Exes and Oohs.)
- Comments: A pretty interesting story where Crimson figured out Chaz's con before Millie and Blitzo could save Moxxie and decides to drown both of them. Yet it actually takes a very sweet turn when Moxxie's better nature gets the better of him and when Millie and Blitzo do come to save him, he has them save Chaz as well and they actually make up. If you want a story where Chaz gets to live or Moxxie forgiving him, this is for you, even though it's only a one shot.

But now that his past as come back to haunt him, will things get better or worse?
- Comments: An interesting take on the angel I.M.P. AU, wherein only Blitzo and Loona were angels, before falling and becoming the demons we know, though with several new issues and problems to contend with. The new, damaged take on our favorite demons is fascinating, their complicated relationships with each other are well handled, and the mysteries are genuinely intriguing. It's got plenty of great angst, intrigue and suspense going for it.

- Comments: An incredibly well written fic featuring a plethora of entertaining OC’s and storylines. Stylised as a perspective flip, the story is part Slice-of-Life, part adventure serial, with seriously emotive scenes. Engages with the worldbuilding of the Hellaverse in incredibly fun ways and even adds onto it with ideas of its own. An easy recommend.

- Status: Ongoing
- Crossover with: Hazbin Hotel
- Synopsis: An Hellaverse office AU. Blitzo; attempts to expand his business throughout the realms, and with a big loan from Stolas, sets up shop in the Hazbin Hotel. With new members of the team, new dangerous challenges and the ever looming threat of bankruptcy over their heads, everyone struggles to adjust and keep the business afloat, despite their many, many differences.
- Comments: While not set in the same continuity as Thicker Than Water (Hazbin Hotel), the fanfic does use several of its characters (mainly Liz, Marty and Rachel) along with other OCs from Aragem and DaggerLobo's fanfics. While the story does a good job introducing them to new readers, some might still be a little put off by it.

Moxxie Morningstar by an_undead_gamer_45
- Recommended by: th3w1t3r
- Status: Ongoing
- Crossover with: Hazbin Hotel
- Synopsis: Most demons knew Moxxie as some unassuming imp working for a small but growing assassination company specializing in revenge from beyond the grave, nothing particularly special about him; but most demons were wrong. After I.M.P.'s commercial is seen by a certain hotel owning princess, Moxxie's true identity comes to light and several uncomfortable truths are unearthed along with it. This is the story of the runaway prince of Hell: Moxxie Morningstar.
- Comments: inspired by the 'Dad Alastor' AU found in Growing Up Impish., this fic takes that idea and cranks it up to even higher levels of absurdity by making Moxxie the adopted son of Lilith and Lucifer Morningstar as well as Charlie's brother, it's only in it's early stages but the fic is off to a great start thus far.

With the weapons expert and the princess on the run and Loona joining a resistance group, will they manage to rescue their loved ones… and possibly overthrow Alastor once and for all?

A Lamb In Hell By That_Guy_Who_Writes
- Recommended by: th3w1t3r
- Status: ongoing
- Crossover with: Cult of the Lamb
- Trope Page: A Lamb In Hell
- Synopsis: There is always a sense of wonder when one reaches theirs goals, especially if said goals seemed impossible. Getting revenge after a lifetime of wrong, standing at the top of a company after starting as a janitor. Accomplishing such things leaves one soaring high in their lives until a single question blindsides them. What now? That was the question that plagued the Lamb after his triumph over heretics and death alike. His cult thrived and expanded, his word second to none and his reign absolute over the land. Yet countless years spent nurturing and appeasing his flock has left him weary and eager for an opportunity to forego his responsibilities for the briefest of moments. The Lamb knew this was nigh impossible, for what cult could function without a leader? Despite knowing this, he still prayed for a break from his taxing work. Until one day, his prayers were answered in the form of a weathered grimoire.
- comments: the basic premise is that the lamb has grown bored of his position as the god-king of his world and decides to take a vacation in Hell to recapture the thrills he once knew when crusading in the name of his cult. The fic is still in it's early stages at the time of writing this, but it's hit the ground running in terms of humor, characterization, and pacing. This is a chaotic ride you don't want to miss.

Fan Songs
- The Ringleader (Fizzarolli's Show) by PARANOiD DJ featuring CaptainDoofkin & Adelaide Smyth
- Recommended by: Tropemaster849
- Comments: A total bop that also happens to tell a good story. Taking place after "Ozzie's" where Blitzo goes back to the circus he used to work at in hopes of recapturing some happier memories, only for Fizz to show up and remind him of the truth-Fizzarolli has everything Blitzo could ever want and he knows it, while Blitzo, as the song puts it, ignores anything good his life gives him. Props to the singers as well, as both Fizz and Asmodeus sound nearly identical to the main show.
- Downhill Til I Die by Channel Nobody Watches
- Recommended by: Tropemaster849
- Comments: The Villain Song that Striker deserves. Not only does it sum up his motives perfectly, it also has a moment that seems take place during the episode he debuts in where he tries to win over Blitzo, but when it fails, he doesn't care. After all, nothing but death will ever take him down. The country/rock vibe also fits perfectly and helps bring the song home.
- Just Look My Way' (Stolas' Lament) by PARANOiD DJ
- Recommended by: Gordhanx
- Comments: A very melancholic and somber song from the sad, love-stricken prince himself, as he laments how distant his beloved acts towards him. Works hauntingly well as a predecessor to Stolas Sings as the prince reflects on his strenuous duties, his dysfunctional family, his deal with the imp, his passionate desire towards his paramour, his confusion to his distance, his realization of his fault to it all and eventual resolve to be better. You truly feel for Stolas throughout and Paranoid does a utterly fantastic job not only sounding incredible close to Bryce Pinkham's portrayal of the prince but capturing the many emotions felt from beginning to end. it was so good, Viv and the team even turned it into an official Animated Music Video with Bryce himself singing this beloved song.
- Signal by PARANOiD DJ and Cycoriot featuring Archnephilia
- Recommended by: Gordhanx
- Comments: A brand new pop single from our favorite alcoholic succubous popstar Verosika Mayday, as she sings about her dysfunctional former relationship with Blitzo. The lyrics and melody give us a good look into how bitter and hurt she still is over how he treated her when they were together, how she finally had enough of his bullshit and has now risen above him in terms of status. A perfectly fitting song for miss Mayday and her bittersweet former romance.
- In My Sights by PARANOiD DJ featuring Edward Bosco
- Recommended by: Gordhanx
- Comments: Striker gets another Villain Song from the Hellaverse Fan Song writer himself. And it's a great fit for him. Mixing both a western ballad with the sound of a modern rock number for a perfect theme for the cowboy bounty hunter. It does a great job summarizing his motives, his drive to see his mission through and how bloodthirsty he can be if you're unfortunate enough to be his target.
