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.
Scene where the offspring of the sins are introduced, first two are mine and other two are of her design.
Fan child of Vaggie and Charlie is her own design.
Put to an end (enter the black swan pt2):
A late tea and homemade fondant fancies was served in the parlor of the hotel when Charlie intercepted Elanye and Wywave being picked up. She wanted to check in with Zon since he had been mending since the battle. Sight of a child had her inviting Zon and them inside for a long conversation. Learning of Corbins's circumstances after Vaggie joined them, Charlie hugged him. To only release him when he spoke he couldn't breath when turning blue. Had her apologizing and promising to find him a way back home.
"I want you to come to the hotel," She offered, "I don't want you to ever seem unwelcomed and lonely."
"Thanks." He yawned.
Elanye allowed him to rest his head on her lap when he was released from her arms and yawned. Zon assured Charlie they were fine on essentials for him upon asking if they needed any. Willing to see if her parents had some old clothes of her brother's. Zon went on to explain Rosie was kind enough to give clothes in his size and box of fingers.
"We better be going." Wywave thought it was the best.
One that carried Corbin back to their motorized carriage with Wywave following was Zon. Two deciding to take this kid in since he was already one of them from another universe. Elanye picked up on and found herself quietly agreeing with them. Being the one that would sit by him on the ride home back to the woods.
"Glad to see you're recovering," Vaggie commented on Zon's improved appearance, "Any changes with your wings?"
"Feathers or no feathers," Zon looked toward Charlie and Bloodmarch siblings, "I understand what you feel now."
"Hon," Vaggie was scared Charlie was up to something, "What are you bothering them about now?"
Zon said his farewells as Charlie filled Vaggie on her newest bonding activity for tomorrow. One that had Corbin with Chewy returning to the hotel around brunch time. Surrounded by four hell born demons that were in their teens as a part of Charlie's latest scheme. Since she sat next to him with her pet snake resting on her lap. Vaggie stood watching them from nearby worried this socializing activity wasn't going to work.
"I feel like this is a twisted version of my first day of summer camp," Corbin fed a finger to Chewy, "Um … I am Corbin Bloodmarch and I feel like Alice from the book, Alice in Wonderland. If anyone knows a hookah smoking caterpillar or talking flora. Aim them my way. Please."
"My dad's bong could work? I know where we can wander around sentient plants also." A feminine version of Asmodeus with horns and feathered tail spoke up. Her hair combed to the side of her head as she wore a simple ruffled dress and ballet flats with interest sparking in her eyes, "I am Osmodai."
"More like torture, I like it," Another one had urban cowboy appearance, "I am Smil."
"I totally agree with Osmodai and know where we can score," Last one was traditional coloring of a fox with black sections of fur. Thick, large furry collar and wispy fire for hair as he was casually dressed, "You can call me Wasp."
"What's this summer camp you speak about? Sounds fun." Another girl was a womanly version of Mammon with big bright eyes , "I am Monet."
"So do I," Corbin was thankful Wywave in this universe grew hemp, "Not that I am up to it with what I just figured."
Fact he was in the company of deadly sins offspring had him feeling less lonely for the short time he was here. Fact they were nothing like he imagined when he found Osmodai and Wasp staring. Down he looked at Chewy just sitting in his lap staring back.
"Here," He pulled a box of fingers from his Ducky Momo bag, "Just feed him one."
Charlie ended up trying to disencourage the use of drugs and being around men eating flowers. Had her suggesting they show off their magical gifts over getting high together and wandering around. Corbin thought he showed the high level spells he learned from Zon that morning to them. Divine magic he drew from to perform a few had Vaggie guessing they were exorcist base. Held white sparking quality that didn't hold an ounce of killing intent. Supposed book Corbin compared his current problem too wasn't revealed. Until he met the equally curious eyes of a wagging tail named Mirabelle. Clothes the girl on the cover of his book caught her eyes. Had her asking why he was reading all by himself while wearing gloves. He granted her the chance to learn of the story by reading it to her.
"Pretty." Mirabelle was allowed to flip the pages.
"Just promise me," Corbin promised her, "You wouldn't go chasing white rabbits down any holes?
"I promise." She giggled at the thought.
She then was shown how to pet Chewy when they took a story break. Where the weird cat was more a family pet his Aunt Elanye created for Zon. Seemed to have an unnatural attachment to him while he arrived here. She never learned why he was wearing gloves indoors during their limited interaction.

During one of Constantine's visits back to the hotel when the reopening celebration was getting closer. He watched another magical related display take place without a single witness. A single black rose Corbin brought from Wywave's garden. Laid on the coffee table with him looking at pages of a leather bound journal. Rested on his lap while his eyes took on a soft glow that surrounded the rose. Which started to change when the trimmed stem and small branched leaves grew. Petals spread wider and wider while others swirled around. Twisting and distorting in length in a vertical direction until a baton was formed. Just closed petals forming an unblossomed rose bud when budding one.
"Well?" Corbin asked his snake resting on his shoulders what he thought of his attempt.
"Crude transformation of a flower into a decorative stick," Constantine shared his two sense, "A dagger or a short sword would be more practical."
"Your highness," Corbin closed up his journal as he turned to him, "Vaggie has a no weapon rule, so practicing is a tad limited until I get home."
He then was careful in closing up his journal rather feeling foolish for being caught off guard. Mental noting he needed to develop his empathic abilities to detect other people. Left to him to straighten out his posture and shuffling his legs around.
"You do have a name and tell me that you can do more than alter flowers." Constantine addressed Corbin.
"I am Corbin Bloodmarch and this is Cornelius, Your highness," He drew attention to the snake, "Vaggie's list of rules kinda limit what I am allowed to do."
As he spoke when he ended up reversing this baton by turning it back into a single black rose. He picked it up and put it back into his backpack along with his leather bound journal.
"Barrier I'm perfecting has introverted or an extrovert points directing depending on how you do it," He admitted, "Trying to perfect the effects."
They would have gone on, if clicking chocolate fudge cake styled heels with a bow on the back. Alerted them to Elanye joining them to remind Corbin of his shift to watch Alastor. Had him excusing himself from Constantine with the proper bow when he ran off.
"Be back in time before Zon arrives," Elanye warned Corbin, "Zon doesn't want to pick us up again when it gets dark. You know how the woods get when it gets dark."
Got Corbin to turn back to her direction to acknowledge her with Cornelius having his head strokes. Apologizing for being rude to Constantine when he was leaving the area. Would look forward to further discussing his spell some time later this week. All with a bow again before Elanye allowed him to leave them alone. She put down a serving tray filled with a mismatched tea set and a sliced up Victoria sponge.
"Woods?" Constantine only knew of one location in hell by that name, "You live in such a place with feral hellhounds and harpies? Simple snaps of a branch triggers wails of woe?"
"Yes, Your highness since usual quietness works wonders for Corbin and myself with our empathic abilities," She picked up Corbin's book, "No distractions and educating him works wonders as he learns a few survival skills. We don't bother the harpies or hellhounds unless they request our help."
"What of the shades? Aren't you bothered by their running around and their screams?" Constantine asked, trying to figure out why.
"It's why we don't travel at night since exterminations have damaged massive areas of the woods," She moved about, "We've looked after the woods for years now, Once an entombed tree is damaged by an angelic weapon, or cleansed by holy flame. Zon and my brother take the tree down without out harming others."
She went on to explain that her brother and Zon have to take the damaged tree down before rot sets in. If not, wood would rot away in the most unpleasant way. Leaving a mess that takes days to clean up and salvage what they can. Her eyes filled with a familiar sorrow and grief she showed the day they met.
"That boy has living through all of that?" Constantine Asked about Corbin.
"Yes your highness, raising and watching him grow within the seven rings have been fun." She recall the memories Corbin allowed her to see.
She then picked up the books he left on the coffee table were Dimensional Travel from what Constantine guessed. Among them was advance tomes about spacial and portal magic.
"I going to need to review with him about picking up after himself," She whistled for her owl bowing out to Constantine, "I'll be right back in fetching your sister."

The activity of the day was an unofficial runway of formal gowns using a glamor charm. A few residents of the hotel, Charlie, and Vaggie got to watch for most of the afternoon. Giving their opinions about the color and style of what was being shown off. Narrowing down the choices to two, a sweetheart neckline with military twist and a thin strap one with a front slitted skirt. That were being worn to by Charlie and Vaggie during the hotel's reopening.
"I leave copies of the sketches at the reception desk for your to look over," Wywave got up, "Get back to me in the usual way, so I can have something wonderful for you to wear."
"Thanks for being able to do this last minute." Charlie was thankful.
"Give me a chance to drag Zon out and socialize." Wywave wasn't bothered.
Charlie happily took up his sketch book to look over the pieces he didn't reveal to everyone. These were more casual with an off the shoulder and ribbon like quality for everyday activities. Now ones for a nightclub or dance club visits had touch of a sexual appeal to them. Thigh high slit to the side of the skirt or a knee length skirt with a slight flare. One of many pieces of Wywave's hidden talent that had Charlie and Vaggie taking their time.
"You should go in to business." Charlie made a suggestion.
"More of a hobby for me." Wywave shrugged.
He then got up and walked over to where Corbin was quietly sitting with an ice crystal wrapped in a cloth. Allowing the chill to soothe a sting to a bump he got to the back of his head. Poor thing slipped in the kitchen and landed wrong by accident. He was lucky Vaggie found him in time when she was alerted by Cornelius.
"Still with us?" Wywave kneeled down toward him.
"Yea," Corbin allowed him to check him, "Since I promised Mirabelle I finished reading Alice in Wonderland."
He openly flinched when Wywave checked surrounding area to see, if swallowing had lessen. Had him being allowed to visit the hotel's hidden library until lunch was going to be served. He just needed to keep wrapped ice crystal to his bump and keep from further injuring himself. Got him a thumbs up from him when he started out his journey to hidden part of the hotel. Collection as nothing like found in vast palace of high class demons or royalty of hell. Most of the books were saved from living world, saved from during burned or taken from abandoned dwellings. Some were restored by expert hands or others were first editions humans kept as collect item. Were set in a few shelves in a room for hotel residents to enjoy. Now held a mirror that Charlie wanted stored away when it was found.

How Constantine found himself outside the tree line of tortured human shaped trees infested with harpies. Thick fog clouds rolled around the base of these trees and foliage. Lack of natural light and clusters of trees didn't stop him. He was willing to take the risk to step within, trying to not break or damage a single branch. Sight that greeted him was a man in tattered robes of a druid.
"Welcomed your highness," Hooded figure's voice stopped him, "Is there a reason why a member from House of Morningstar pays us a visit? Being this place with entombed souls in the trees and hellborn harpies isn't that interesting ."
"I was informed by a woman whose family calls this place home," He found his sharp vision couldn't make out this hooded figure, "Fact a gifted child also lives here piqued my interest."
Even a rustic lamp held in gloved hands by this hooded figure didn't reveal his gender. Who whistled toward a harpie that sat on a tree above his head just staring at Constantine. An octagon shaped lantern within one of her talons held a soft glow. Her reflective eyes with silver lining stared at Constantine. Not a drop of feeling could be found in them as he stared back at her.
"Your highness, She'll be your guide if you dare wander further in," Constantine was further warned, "Stay on the trail and you'll find the clearing."
"What if … " Constantine found the figure gone.
Forward Constantine moved when the figure vanished into the darkness of the trees. Faint online wings were made out by wisps of fog before sight of them was lost. Leaving Constantine's walk through the woods when a dirt trail was revealed. He noticed when he got further and further away from where he entered. He noticed a few trees that he could see carried scars of attempted arson. Speakers were hidden away within the top of the trees where branches stuck out. From them a soothing voice that had Constantine halting in his steps to listen.
Gave him a chance to access the damage to other trees, Ones with the bark burned away with others had their intards in clear view. Showed signs of treatment since they seemed to be thriving. Had him picking up his pace until he entered a clearing. Two buildings opposite of each other stood in the eastern and western areas. Cabin with camouflage architecture and moss friendly roof. Almost went unnoticed when he looked around for signs of life. What he found was wisps of light floating past his face. Toward the direction he turned to find Corbin sitting within branches of a tree. His eyes brightly glowed as will- o- wisps surrounded the dead branches. Ones furthest away from him were darkened in color with a soft glow.
"Revival rituals are never easy," Elanye's voice caught Constantine's ear, "Including ones used on trees like this one since it's oldest one in this section of the woods. Corbin has been trying since he climbed up and missed lunch."
"Does he share your empathic abilities?" Constantine inquired about Corbin.
"His fathers are my brother and his husband," She pointed out, "A Druid and ex- exorcist are excellent teachers."
Before Constantine could react to what she said about the ex- exorcist comment. Wisps burst one by one as small tree leaf buds on outer branches sprout. Leftover sparkles for bursting lit up the area around the tree.
"I was able to reach her," He yawned, "Am I seeing things or that the Prince of Hell is standing there? 'Cause the story I told Mirabelle about the glass city wasn't for small children."
"He's talking about the Bloodmarch family's fairytales," Elanye informed Constantine, "They have a horror aspect."
"Explains why she couldn't stop mumbling about fragile dwellings with transparent walls." Constantine recalled his niece's babbling.
He wasn't able to become lost in thought when he heard whispers of gratitude in the air. Got louder when he followed them to the tree Corbin was still in. His body started warming up from the ground under his hooves. He felt his heart become wrapped in this strange sensation. Followed by a sense of grounded-ness as his breathing slowed followed by tears. Which he figured was coming from the roots of the tree in the ground. Elanye invited Constantine to a cup of tea until he felt better.
"Coming down," Corbin got ready to jump down, "Watch out below."
Using a wind sheer spell to soften his landing when he decided to jump down instead of safely climb. Had Elanye calling him a daredevil with a sigh before advising him to go eat before Zon found out. Had Corbin doing as she asked not wanting to get trouble or grounded.
