Check out kaledya on twitter and tumblr, where she creates wonderful hazbin hotel works and HH au named Sinners Symphony with awesome designs. We're talking art work and q&as if you want to learn more!
Lore and ocs being used are all hers.
I just hope I am portraying kaledya's ocs correctly, since I am trying to stick to the romantic theme of my tale with AU versions of my ocs interacting with hers. While one is temporarily visiting from his universe.
Jumping with the Missing (enter the black swan pt4)
Elanye stopped showing up as frequently around Constantine when the last of the hotel's preparations were coming along. Reopening night for Hotel was getting closer and closer. Left Corbin showing up and leaving alone with packed cake pops to share. Each batch eaten had a completely different taste when they were eaten. Started a guessing game between Corbin and Octativa about the cake recipes used. Sometimes they got the right or wrong answer without keeping score. Always ended with two saying goodbye once they parted ways for the day. Just who showed up to pick up Corbin, were the fathers Constantine heard about.
Smaller of the two that shared similar traits with Elanye was her brother with a muscular build. Half his head was shaved with a complex braiding style to his remaining hair. Wore a robe of a druid with a hood drawn over a long sleeve shirt with an open collar and a pair of comfortable pants. Military way he laced up his boots carried a star enclosed in a circle pendant. His eyes softened upon greeting Corbin when he approached them with a bow.
"Go wait for me with your dad," Wywave instructed Corbin, "I'll be done soon and we can head to the hotel to see your aunt. You can only touch my potion box and not my medical bag. Got it?"
Left Corbin to bow and thank Constantine for the last few days as his student beside Octativa. Stating he will carry these lessons with him what he learned here with him. Quickly turning around and leaving Wywave to speak Constantine for a second.
"From what I heard about you and seen what you can do," Constantine addressed Wywave, "Playing helpful hermit is a waste of your talent."
"Well Your Highness, I have my reasons for doing whatever Her Highness wants of me," He reached toward his neck, "Since I know lengths an Overlord or a Sin will go."
He showed a beginning of a very visible scar to emphasize his point when he pulled down his sweater's collar. Story about he got away with his life after he was given his nasty reminder. Ran through his head like a slow motion film as he adjusted his collar with a blank face and dead eyes.
"Your sister and you aren't not typical sinners," Constantine shared his opinion, "That your knowledge and skills have shown that."
"Answers I wish I could give at this time," He had somewhere to be, "I'll suffer my sister's wrath if I don't tend to Alastor."
Letting Wywave go when he knew from experience about a sister's anger toward not being punctual. Being raised to always be on time was installed in Charlie and him. Had him watching them drive away after Wywave load up. Led him back to the hotel that evening to be greeted by residents in the parlor.
"Your highness?" Elanye greeted him with a head nod, "Would you like to join us for your sister's latest activity?"
"Being?" He looked over her attire with a raised eyebrow.
"Preening wings," She stepped aside to show him what they were doing, "Your sister's form of a trusting activity by grooming a person's wings. We need an even number of people with my brother checking on Alastor. I volunteered to come ask you …"
Charlie could be seen instructed the paired off people. Corbin gave an open objection about sharing Husk with Angel Dust in any way. Stating his aunt's owl was enough for him to do on his own without Niffty. Took place between a scratchy record player and Charlie tending to Vaggie's wings.
"So be it," Constantine took in Elanye's high waisted shorts and a halter style sweater with thigh high stockings and wedge sneakers. Same neat and tucked bun with ornate hair stick, An individual star enclosed in a circle hangs from the end of her only hair accessory. Same jewelry from her earrings to her Asmodean Crystal worn as a choker, "Am I to be paired with you?."
"Yes, your highness," She wasn't one to brag about aiding the harpies during molting season, "Care for me to share?"
She offered him an ungloved hand with a bandage completely covering it. Way it was wrapped allowed functionally for her. As her nail came with an image of an apple embel with metal fleck and lacquer, "I am not used to the new placement in the new kitchen and injured myself. My brother came in time to treat me before checking on Alastor."

Elanye wore a flare- and -fit dress with skirt length to above the knee and plunging neckline. In a vermillion and black coloring modeled from one of her brother's designs. Wearing high collar mesh sleeves in a higanbana ( black) print. In these opened toed flats with rounded toe as her hair combed and styled. Pinned into a victory curl updo that was Corbin's suggestion. Ear cuff on her upper lobe of her left ear and moon's stone earrings. Metallic choker held a spider pendant Corbin recalled with sadden eyes.
Allowed her to take one of his hands in her own to give a pouch made from the fibers of discarded feathers. He knew the harpies, her owl, and Zon's feathers were used for materials. Assembly alone was completely done by hand from stitching to embroidery. Along with the braided cord used in a simple knot of the pouch.
"Call it my last gift," She was going to miss him, "A thank you for helping me realize something."
"Are you taking on that delivery girl job or becoming a surrogate?" He guessed.
"Both." She reached out a single hand to him.
Allowed to comb her fingers through his hair one last time all the way to the back of his neck. When she was reminded of a sparring accident took his ponytail. Pause of her hand on the nape of his neck allowed him to reach up. Where he slipped his own gift on to her wrist in the form of a strap. Allowing her to be taken the clutch in the form of a first edition book.
"Really?" She asked him, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."
"Something to remember me by." He thought.
Fact he modeled the book clutch after the first edition copy was a remarkable feat. Lettering that spelled out the title all the way down to the spine. Crisp sound the clutch made when her fingers pressed into the fabric. Gave the life- like illusion of her actually holding the book within her hand.
"Here," Corbin also handed a small wooden box pulled from his bag to her, "Gifts in there for Wywave, Zon, and you."
"Thank you," Wywave pat Corbin's head when he passed him, "Front or back?"
He chose the back seat when into his bag he placed his pouch and his book as he looked around. A large clearing in the woods was the same with one minor difference being his aunt's swing. Role woven from hemp fibers and a wooden plunk that were carefully pieced together. Hung from a frame then an old branch of the oldest tree of kindly old figure. Being the last to get on board with Cornelius for a long drive to the hotel. Celebration was taking place in the grand ballroom with a dance floor and band provided by recovered Alastor.
"You made it," Charlie greeted them in one of Wywave's creations, "Tailor my family uses fell in love with the design you submitted to her to create. Materials you also gave her to use had her wanting to meet her."
"You're going to be busy." Zon whispered to Wywave.
Wywave couldn't answer Zon since Charlie grabbed him to drag him across the room toward a demonic spider. Who gushed over the Wywave's formal wear in vermillion and black colors. Long sleeve with a high collar style shirt in an off white color with hand embodied detail. Pants were tailored came with a matching belt and gloves made from same materials. Came with wonderful hand embroidered touches Elanye sewed into them. Went with his dress boots and embroidered socks on his feet, that he made sure to poilsh. An individual star enclosed in a circle pinned to his collar of his shirt. His hair combed and tied by an embroidered ribbon with Bloodmarch crest. He wore earrings and an ear cuff on one of his ears simular to what Elanye wore. Left him in her company for the rest of night unlike his sister.
"Never knew your brother could look decent," Constantine approached Elanye, "Makes me wonder."
"Your Highness?" Elanye noticed the prince's closeness, "Why would this concern me?"
His answer came in the form of her being offered his ungloved hand and asked her to be his dance partner. Her owl wasn't any help when he landed on her shoulder with a beak full of meat appetizers. Ripping the chuck to pieces just feasting away without where he was perched.
"Sorry about him," She wanted to rim Hoo Hoo, "I blame Corbin for feeding him between meals."
"I am not bothered." He reached out.
Hoo Hoo accepted happily, by puffing his feather out for Constantine's hand.

Zon watched Corbin walk toward the elevators, Press a button and enter the first one that is dinged with sliding doors openings. Made Zon sadly sigh when he felt blessed to have him for a short time. Creating a sensation in his chest he slowly started to welcomed at times like this.
"Everything going to be ok?" Charlie asked, noticing he wasn't with Elanye and Wywave.
"Learning the meaning of farewell." He meant the ache in his chest.
"I sometimes forget you're still learning," Charlie forgot Zon was from, "Want to join the party?"
"I need a minute," He couldn't bring himself to move just yet, "Thank you."
Which she gave by staying with him and leaving him to collect himself before joining everyone. Turning toward the crowd of faces here to show their support for Charlie's cause. Some were residents of the hotel in their finest just chatting up these guests while mingling. Others were people from the house of Morningstar checking out the princess' staff. Left Charlie excited as she mistakenly grabbed Zon's wrist and found a bracelet. tuck under the cuff of his sleeve of his collared v-neckline, white tunic made of a fine fabric. Hand embroidery, long vest worn over with a sash belt and lace up pants and military boots. Combed worn in a loose ponytail using a ribbon as his attire came in a vermillion and black colors.
"Another one of Wywave's designs?" She asked him, pointing out Wywave's bracelet.
"Makes carrying around things easier," He adjusted the bracelet with care, "One of his first gifts to me."
Always hearing a good love story beside her own left, Charlie went doughy eyed as she listened. From when Bloodmarch Siblings found him after another Extermination day ended. Barely a pulse when he was mistaken for dead with armor and a weapon beyond salvageable. Taken back to their home to be healed and shown kindness exists. Charlie and Vaggie were approached about aid in mending him and helped him with his recovery. Allowed the foundation of a friendship and romance to slowly form.
"You think I should introduce Wywave and my brother?" Charlie wondered, "Any thoughts?"
"I think that had already taken place." Zon pointed out her.
Charlie learned that her brother and Elanye's brother have already met due to Corbin one fateful day. Which made her grow excited over the future possibilities could take place for them.
"Ready to join?" She asked him with an offered hand.
"Trying to inform Wywave of your offer is going to make things complicated." He took her hand.
He pointed out to Charlie who her brother was dancing with Elanye with proper respect being used among manners. He was returned as the two were in sync as they moved on the dance floor. Lost in another conversation or debate with no notice for the outside world. Had Charlie rushing over using Zon as a dance partner since Vaggie was busy.

Returning to his reality was bittersweet as he purposely cursed the mirror to shatter. Which resulted in his gloved hand taking damage from use. He weathered the pain of his glove and skin of his hand splitting to the wrist. Almost reddish- orange blood pouring from torn skin that made up his damaged hand. He pulled the cover back over the mirror with his good hand as he heard footsteps. One that came rushing toward him and was not happy about the blood she saw. Had her sending her owl out to fetch help when she made her way to him.
"What have I told you about wandering around?" She looked over his hand, "Looks superficial."
"I used my first curse," He admitted, "Never been my strongest subject."
"Why would you do that?" She sighed.
"It's hell," He reminded her, "Why wouldn't I ?"
He would go on about being successful in casting, if Zon didn't call from the stairs. Dropping a cloth from where he stood down to Elanye to catch and wrap aroundCorbin's hand. Stating supplies they need to bandage up his hand can be found up stairs. When they should hurry before infection sets in or he bleeds out. On Elanye's shoulder Hoo Hoo returned, his head turning toward the mirror.
"Wait!" Corbin allowed Cornelius off his shoulders.
The snake dropped from his shoulders onto the floor toward something he smelled. A sweet, musk scent lingered in the air as he crawled toward something. He lifted a corner of the mirror's cover with the end of his tail to reveal this something. Came in the form of a grey wolf cub with clear blue eyes staring at them.
"A second familiar?" Zon and Elanye asked.
"Hello." Corbin welcomed his new friend.
Elanye picked up a grey wolf cub, figuring Lucifer was going to be angry that it wasn't a swan or duck. Seeing as he was secretly rooting for Corbin to get one. She dismissed already knowing she needed to give this cub a bath and treat Corbin's hand. She also needed to thank Alastor for alerting her. That met at least dropping by the hotel to spend a few hours with him. Had her already mentally listing what she was going to bring as a gift to him. Maybe a bottle of her brother's whiskey with a New Orleans inspired confectionery. Bring a Haggis using fresh ingredients from one of her personal recipes.
"I may have something you can use." Zon offered.
What he gave her was a book done in the craft of Anthropodermic bibliopegy, from cannibal town bookstore. Collection of 1930s tattoo art that Zon received as a gift from a female centuries ago. Left her to thank him as he took over treating Corbin's hand for her. Sharing stories of giving Charlie first aid as he pulled worked.
