I don't own Helluva Boss or Hazbin Hotel but if I did, I would give Stolas a real lover and not a shitty one like Stella. I have been hooked on the show from the start, seeing Stolas and Blitz's love-hate relationship along with a few fan-made videos and fan fics, made me want to give it a try. If there's anything you want me to write for Alastor and Angel's dates or Stolas and Blitz's dates, let me know in the comments.
Time. Space. Reality. It's more than a linear path. It's a prism of endless possibility, where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know. So many possibilities, so many changes, and so many outcomes. I am your narrator. I am your guide into these vast new realities. Follow me and ponder the question… What if?
In a multiverse of infinite possibilities, is your destiny determined by your nature or by the nature of your world? Are we angels or devils? Is love meant to be caged or to be shared with a true lover? The Goetia family; is the richest and most powerful family in Hell. Young Prince Stolas was arranged to marry Stella when he came of age. His father bought the clown Blitzo to be Stolas's friend. But the two had formed a bond that made Stolas believe that he had a real friend. Years later, Stolas married Stella, but this marriage was more toxic than love. They had a child, a daughter named Octavia, but Stella never really loved Octavia. She only loved the luxury, riches, and power.
However, during one of Stella's so-called parties, Blitzo, or Blitz as he prefers, tries to break into Stolas's room and steal Stolas's book. Unfortunately, Stolas invited him into his bedroom. Blitz pulled on the charm and slept with Stolas to get the book. After that, Stella had been nastier and crueler to Stolas. Stolas finally got the divorce from Stella when Octavia was just seventeen. Stolas could finally be with Blitz, even though Blitz had his problems to deal with.
But in another universe, Stolas had decided to divorce Stella earlier before he had an affair with Blitz.
Another day in Hell or this case, the mansion of the Goetia family which was Stolas's version of Hell. He had just gotten out of bed, and taken his pills, then he walked inside five-year-old Octavia's bedroom to wake her up. Octavia loved her dad very much, she had more in common with him than she did with Stella. Just as Stolas came into the kitchen carrying Octavia in his arms, their mood turned sour seeing Stella waiting at the table. A scowl appeared on her face as she saw the happy father-daughter duo. Stolas put his daughter down and went to get breakfast. Via had only just sat down at the table when Stella looked like she was having a stroke.
"What is this?" she asked, pointing at Via's messy hair and pajamas.
"Stella, please not now," Stolas begged.
"Look at her! No pose, no class, and she looked like she just got into a fight! That is not how a proper lady is supposed to look or act!" Stella screamed.
Octavia whimpered hearing Stella being a drama queen. Stolas placed a plate of food in front of Octavia who started to dig in like a starving cat. Stella clutched her chest as if she was having a heart attack. "You filthy brat! Even Hell Hounds have better manners!" she shrieked.
Octavia was only five, but Stella treated her like she was just a burden or a nuisance. Stolas told Stella to drop the attitude in front of their daughter. But of course, she refused to listen to Stolas. She roughly grabbed Octavia by the scruff and dragged her into Octavia's bedroom. Stella grabbed a brush from the dresser and started to brush and tug at Octavia's hair. She forced Octavia into a small puffy hot pink dress and then she started putting about a pound of makeup on Octavia's face. By the time Stella was done, poor Octavia looked like a female version of Fizzarolli. Stella thought that Octavia looked so much better like this, but Octavia wasn't happy.
She tried to run to her father, but Stella grabbed her arm and then dragged her back. "A lady doesn't run in her dress," Stella stated in a harsh tone.
She made poor Octavia walk across the room while balancing books on her head to make her walk like a lady. The books would fall off her head after four steps, and Stella would make her repeat her walk every time the books fell. Octavia had tears in her eyes trying so hard to please her mother, but it wasn't enough. Stella would criticize the poor girl every time the books fell off her head. Stella had reached her breaking point when Octavia dropped the books for the twelfth time, she raised her hand and then slapped Octavia across the face. The slap left a huge bruise on her cheek.
"Your pathetic excuse of a royal!" Stella shouted, "I can't believe that you are my daughter! Your weak, poor excuse of a father has coddled you too much!"
Octavia broke into tears and ran out of her bedroom to seek her father's comfort. The second Stolas saw his little owlet in tears and the bruise on her face, the rage built up. He told Via to head into his bedroom and wait there for him. He marched into the room where Stella was and the two started screaming at each other. Even though Octavia was in another room, she could still hear her parents screaming match. Her makeup ran down her face from her tears and she now looked like a sad raccoon. The screaming got worse; Via couldn't take it anymore, and then she ran out of her father's bedroom and ran out of the mansion.
She didn't go too far but she just wanted to get away from her parents arguing. But as she was running, her tears made her eyes a little blurry and she ended up bumping into someone. An imp named Blitz, who had just left his life in the circus and went into the killing people business. The minute he saw Octavia crying her eyes out, he softened and helped her up from the dirty ground. "Whatcha doing out here all alone kid? Where's your parents?" Blitz asked.
Octavia didn't say a word to Blitz, she was still sniffling and even turned away from him. Blitz took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket and wiped away Octavia's makeup-tear-stained face. With all the makeup gone, Blitz saw how much Octavia had looked a lot like Stolas. "Your Octavia Goetia, right? Stolas's kid?" he asked.
"Y-Y-Yes." Octavia stammered.
Blitz held out his hand in front of Octavia; she took his hand and the two walked back to the mansion. Outside the mansion, Stolas was frantically calling out for Octavia and looking everywhere for her. When he saw Octavia walking into the front of the mansion holding Blitz's hand, his anxiety disappeared. He ran towards Octavia and hugged her tight. "My little starfire. I thought I lost you," he said, nuzzling his daughter.
The second he saw Blitz; he was filled with joy to see his old and first friend after a long time. He thanked him for finding his child and even invited him into the mansion. As tempting as the offer was, Blitz didn't want to intrude on the royal family. Of course, at that moment, Stella came out looking like a raging lunatic. "You bastard!" she shrieked.
He asked Blitz to take Octavia inside and make sure that she didn't hear the two of them argue. Octavia ended up pulling Blitz inside the mansion to show him around. Stolas turned to face Stella with anger in his face. "You and I were arranged for one reason. To birth a precautionary heir to the Goetia family. And yet, you treat our daughter like this?!" he stated.
"And why shouldn't I?!" Stella stated with no remorse for her actions. "She is a royal princess, you're the one letting her run around all wild and barbaric! How is she supposed to marry if she continues to act like a savage beast!?"
Stolas took a deep breath then he got closer to Stella. "You know what? I have been trying so hard to make it comfortable for us, to have this family. But it was never enough for you. The only reason why I endured your constant insults and cruelty was for that girl to have a normal life! I treated Octavia with love and kindness because I vowed that I would be a better father than mine ever was! I won't force her into a loveless marriage like I was. I want you out. Now!"
Stella's eyes burned with rage, "What do you mean… Out?" she slowly asked.
"I mean out!" Stolas shouted, "Out of this palace. Out of mine and Octavia's life. We are getting a divorce!"
"How dare you!" Stella screamed, "What do you think the rest of the Goetia family will think? And Andrealphus!"
She raised her hand to slap Stolas, but he caught it at the last second. "I don't care! What your arrogant brother thinks! And the only thing the Goetia family wanted from our marriage was my daughter! So, it's over! I'm done!"
"Fine," Stella stated as she pulled her hand out of Stolas's grasp. "I have no desire to stay in the place of a traitorous embarrassment or that pathetic excuse of a child."
She just marched out of the palace for good. Stolas felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off his chest; Stella was gone for good this time. He walked back inside the house to talk to Octavia about her mother leaving them. He started to look for them; he ended up finding them in Octavia's room. It was a sight to see, Blitz was playing with Octavia and making her laugh with his jokes. This was the first time that Stolas had seen his daughter having fun with someone besides himself. He knocked on the door to get their attention; Octavia ran to her father with open arms.
"Daddy. Mr. Blitzo is fun." Octavia said, happily.
"It's actually just Blitz. The O is silent. But I'm letting this little cutie get away with it." Blitz stated.
Stolas chuckled a bit before telling Octavia delicately about how Stella and he would be separated from each other. Octavia just hugged her father saying that he was the only parent that she needed. She then turned to Blitz asking him to stay longer. Before he could even say anything, Octavia looked at him with little owlet eyes and he melted. He agreed to stay for a few; Octavia was happy and so was Stolas. Not only was his toxic ex-wife out of the picture, but he could also catch up with his old friend. Little did he know, those feelings would grow into something new.
