Hell to Pay

Reader mode
He's a denarian rules for that is that even if the angel in the coin is running your body as a meatpuppet the angel is still trapped in the coin. People have done some incredible things in both Buffy and Dresden files also I think that the SI is in a partnership, like Nicodemus has. He is one of the most dangerous denarian's not only because of the fallen but because the human is in charge. Though andurial was a spymaster
and can hear anything in shadow or darkness unless warded or protected by angels.

I think Taz was more of a biomancer so the biological body and battle form are likely to be top teir.
 
For those of you who haven't read the prior entry or just haven't read it in a while, here's what happened:

Daniel (our Hiver SI) was dragged to Sunnydale as a "Swedish Exchange Student." He almost immediately picks up Taziel's Blackened Denarius by mistake. Taziel is a healing angel.

After trying to keep himself alive and not fuck canon, He gives into temptation and dresses as Doomguy on Halloween with a note that tells Doomguy to stop the spell. Which he does, by murdering Ethan.

Having fucked Canon by depriving Xander of his soldier-boy memories, Daniel decides to steal a rocket launcher and a lot of guns to take out the Judge on the assumption that Buffy won't/cant. Buffy Shows up with her own rocket launcher but Daniel shoots first, blowing up not just the judge, but Drusilla and Angel as well.

Whistler tells Daniel that since he broke it he gets to buy it. He's to fuck off to literally anywhere else and take over for Angel in LA once the time comes to do that. Daniel joins a Demon fighting group and ends up with a new name: "Saint". He also ends up with a heterosexual female life partner, Lazarus.

Saint and Laz and the rest of the group are hired by the council to kills some demons. They send Kendra to help. kendra and literally everyone other than Saint gets murdered, with Lazarus only surviving because Saint gave in and used Taziel's healing angel power. Hijinks ensue and Saint also heals Laz's mom in New York before going to hawaii.

Saint and Taziel rework their deal. In return for an entire week with zero input or interference from Taziel, Saint will take up the denarius for real.

In Hawaii during that week, Saint meets Aiko, they get attacked by a guardian spirit, and Saint finds out that Aiko is the daughter of Inari and a nature spirit. They start dating, and a Slayer attacks for murdering Laz and her mom (which he did not do).

Saint and Aiko head to New York where Saint sets up an account at Wolfram and Hart through the simple expedient of murdering people until they give him an account. Wolfram and Hart do not know that Saint is one of the Nickleheads. They also meet the new slayer (Anna I think?), and he gets her off his back. But before they can go to Boston to rescue faith, the powers lure him back to Sunnydale with Acathla.

Saint kills the Mayor, and then calls on a bunch of Inari worshiping murder-monks, the demonslayer group's underworld arms dealer connections, and Buffy, to assault a compound full of hundreds of demons in the desert. Saint tells Aiko he loves her, then assaults the demons they open Acathla and in closing the statue, Saint gets pulled into hell.

The end.
 
In case anyone has time to kill while waiting for the next chapter, let's go over some of the early Hiver fics you either came too late for or didn't know existed.

It's glorious, it's fun, it's... The Harry Potter SI. Silly and crazy fun.
Why be the dragon? Trick question. Be the dragon. (I can't remember if it was this or the sequel that anything happened...)
Reality is an illusion. What do you do afterwards? (Fly spaceships, duh)


But really, let's be honest here. The original HP SI is truly the best on this list.
 
Hah. This is one of those dimensions with distorted time relative to that setting's earth, isn't it? He isn't just dealing with the hellwalker's memories, gleaning off that creature's majesty as a murderous copycat. We don't even know that this is the first hell he's ruined. He's lived out the path of the Doom Slayer entirely in his own right.

Walk like them until they walk like you. He's mantled the Doom Slayer.

I hadn't read the previous story so I just binged the entire thing. I'm not regretting it.

Two rereads and a week later, I am very hyped for this story. Thanks for sharing Hiver, this is probably the story of yours that felt most like unfinished business.

that HP link is old enough it has no threadmarks so be warned going in
 
Thank you to all who provided recaps for those of us without the time to reread the original story from 4 years ago!

I have to say the choice of POV was a stroke of genius, because I was JUST as lost as Lilah as too who this wannabe Doomslayer was and why they were suddenly sprouting extra eyes and wings. It's rare that I get to empathise with a character in the opening chapter like that!
 
I still say that the Slayer Dreams have been consisting of a random Demon Screaming/Whimpering "He's Coming...".
Followed by said Demon's head Exploding.

Oh, and any one trying to read some thing Lewd into that, "I'm, Sorry. Your Princess is in the 'Other' Gutter."

    • I tilted my head back against the falling water and sighed. First shower in I'm not sure how long.

    "It wouldn't be hell if it was comfortable, would it?" Taziel commented, standing with her arms crossed, her wings folded, and her back against the wall with a smile.

    "Well, true." I said with a grin, opening my eyes to look at her, "Then again, it's good to be back."

    "Indeed, My Host."

    Turning off the water, I stepped out of the shower and reached for the towel to dry off as I looked up at the bright light above.

    "Taz?"

    "Yes?"

    "How… how long…"

    Taziel stepped out of the shower, shaking the water from her wings and light seemed to flow across her, forming her normal short white dress, "I have to admit that I am not entirely sure, My Host. Time there wasn't completely linear." She answered with a small frown, "Time in that hell dimension was significantly faster than here, however. Two, maybe three hundred years, tops?"

    I turned to her, staring at her as I stopped drying my hair, letting my hands and the towel drop, "T-three hundred?"

    "Likely less, but no less than two hundred."

    "How the fuck am I sane!?"

    Taziel smiled at me and reached to run her hand through my hair, "My Host, you are talking to a voice in your head."

    "Taziel!"

    She rolled her eyes, "I kept you sane. Honestly, it was less work than it sounds like. I had the Doomslayer's memories and their absorption into your mind to work with. Mostly, I just toned the dreams down so you were able to get enough sleep and was somebody you could talk to. You would be amazed how much that helps."

    "I look amazing for two hundred."

    "For a human anyway."

    "So, what now?", I asked, and finished drying my hair before dropping the towel, "Other than clothes?"

    Taziel shrugged, "Don't know about you, but I am up for a big steak dinner followed by finding the Powers That Be and fucking their shit up."

    I grinned at her and reached to mess her hair up, "Now that's a plan I can get behind." I said before walking past and out into the next room, looking over at Lilah Morgan, "Clothes."

    "Wardrobe, sir," she said and motioned to the side.

    Nodding, I walked over to check. It had everything from suits to underwear, jeans and t-shirts of various sizes.

    Pulling out a t-shirt I put it on before continuing with underwear and jeans, "Where am I?"

    "Los Angeles branch office, sir. Earth."

    City of the Angels.

    I couldn't help but smile at that as I turned to her, "How do I look? Be honest."

    Lilah hesitated for a second, "You could use a haircut."

    "…Good point. Or at least something to keep it out of the way. Maybe an actual shave too. Do you have any in-house or any recommendations?"

    "No in-house barber, no sir. But there are some highly recommended ones. We can make an appointment for you if you like."

    "Do that. Then I need some information."

    "…About, sir?"

    "Get me everything you have on the Powers That Be. Their champions, seers, locations. Everything."

    Lilah startled, "That's quite a lot of files, I'm going to need to check with…"

    "…No hurries. I'll have dinner first. Card." I said, holding my hand out to her.

    "We have been unable to get a debit card to your accounts yet, sir, but here is a WFH card. Unlimited credit." She said and pulled it and the documentation out for me from her folder, "It will work until we are able to get the new one to you."

    "Good enough." I said and put it into my pocket, "Put it on my tab. First of all, shoes." I said and picked up my sword on the way out the door.

    "Sir? While there is documentation to cover you for the sword, you may wish to cover it up somehow if you are to walk around with it."

    I paused, and felt like facepalming, "Yeah, you're right. Any recommendations?"

    "There are several options, but the simplest would be to simply leave it in the car." She suggested.

    The sword of a Cherub? The same sword that spent the last who knows how many eons getting corrupted in a hell dimension? A sword that never got dull, never broke? A blade that could slay any demon, any known being in existence, from lowest demon to highest angel, it treated them all the same, no special killing methods needed. Never mind exactly what… and who… I went through to get my hands on it?

    Leave that in the car?

    "Yeah, that's not an option."
