In his desperation to find a date in time for the annual Helloween bash, minor-rank demon Kev summons a coworker he once hooked up with. But when the smoke and sulfur clears, it isn’t demon Ira standing in the ring, but a very perplexed, very human mortal named Archer.<br><br>Archer is cute, confused, and willing to consider going as Kev's date ... for a price. Turns out this isn't the first time Archer's met a demon, and he wants his soul back.

Date from Hell

“I know. You haven’t gone near this, and you had chances.” He paused. “If you’re not really here because of my blood, is it so hard to believe I’m not really offering to take you with me out of guilt?”


Kev swallowed. Archer had a point, but he still felt so weird about everything. He really was just awful at making decisions. Here Archer was, offering him a way out, and he was unsure if he should take it because he was feeling things he could barely remember having ever felt once, and he wanted more. To keep feeling this way, maybe, definitely to understand what was going on. How to make sense of what was happening.


Archer’s hand dropped to his side and he stared unblinking at Kev, speechless for long minutes. Kev waited, afraid of Archer’s response, but wanting to know. A demon wasn’t supposed to feel any of these comforting emotions, and ever since Archer had showed up, Kev could almost convince himself he was still human.
