StaticRadio is such a cute relationship to me because Vox just seems like the type of boyfriend to ask so many questions that Alastor has no fucking clue how to answer.
Alastor could just be sitting there on the couch, peacefully minding his own business, when suddenly.
"Al, would you love me if I was a worm?"
"Babe do these pants make my ass look fat?"
"Alastor, if me and Nifty were falling off a cliff who would you save?"
"Baby, if all my limbs were chopped off would you still wanna date me?"
And everytime this happens Alastor has no idea what to say. He's so used to being the mastermind, of knowing what to say no matter what the circumstances. But then he starts dating Vox and for the first time in years Alastor is quite literally at a loss for words. Because what the fuck is the right answer here.
They love each other so much but Al is so old-fashioned and Vox is so modernised, they're so diffrent it's so cute.

🫀I've seen some people confused about the many different radiostatic ship names, so I'll try to explain some of them here
VoxAl - The common ship name technique of just mixing characters names together
RadioStatic - The one that's most known around the fandom, can be used to describe either mutual or one-sided
Radiosilence - Vox likes Alastor, but Alastor doesn't reciprocate
OneWayBroadcast - Newer version of Radiosilence made by tumblr user @/onesidedradiostatic since people are often confused by the radiosilence tag
Radio/Silence (With space) - Do not use this, please remember not to space when you use the radiosilence tag, since radio/silence is a different fandom entirely
Staticsilence - Alastor likes Vox, but Vox doesn't reciprocate
StaticLoveTune - The ship name people used back in the early pilot days, l've seen some people to this day use it for fluffy or mutual radiostatic

Radiostatic fic, where when Vox is watching the hotel prepare for the Extermination and is like “they're going to FIGHT?!” he (internally) freaks out and decides to use the opportunity to try to get a deal out of the princess of hell himself. After all, he has the tech to fight - Angelic Security - it'd be remiss of him to not offer it to the princess and raise his status over that old timey prick!
–
“Vox, you of all people know that Angelic Security shit is a scam. Get your ass back in the chair.”
“Nonsense, Velvette! It's simply…untested. And what better way to beta test its worth than by using it against a direct assault from heaven?”
“If you die, I'm taking your room.”
–
So he goes over to the hotel to offer his help.
(Vaggie tries to stab him when he asks for a deal in exchange, and he doesn't know why he's so desperate to help, so he decides to offer it free of charge).
Alastor tries to veto it entirely, citing how all of his technology is both flashy and useless, but he's outvoted by Charlie. (She doesn't trust Vox, nor does she believe in his tech, but she's not in any position to not accept help where she can get it - at worst, she figures it doesn't work and Vox abandons them).
Alastor and him ignore one another to the best of their abilities - they're both too busy (and stressed) to even really bother with their normal hostilities. The most they do are just a few snarky lines whenever they cross paths, but overall it's fine. (Vox will absolutely not admit to himself that it's kind of nice to not be at each other's throats, for once. They've even had to work together once or twice).
So now Vox is struggling to help the hotel with the oncoming assault, and convinces himself that he'll be long gone before any real danger arrives - he's only here on the off chance they survive to up the status of the Vees. (Totally no other reason).
Except. He doesn't leave the night before, and surprises even himself by showing up ready for the fight.
And the fight actually seems to be going really well! (Vox refuses to acknowledge being impressed by Alastor’s shield, even to himself).
But then. Not too long after the shield breaks, Adam appears. And Vox doesn't understand why he feels like his heart has stopped for the second time. He does his best to ignore it, but then Adam effortlessly kills Pentious and all he can think about is the same thing happening to Alastor.
(He can't die like that loser, I'm the only one allowed to kill him! There's no way that pretentious angelic prick took him down!)
When Lucifer finally arrives to take down Adam, Vox disappears. He will find Alastor, because no one but him is allowed to kill him. He refuses.
Vox finds where Alastor was injured, but with him not being there Vox knows there's only one place he'd go - his radio tower. And he's right! He finds Alastor, alive! (Vox does not admit, even to himself, the blatant relief that goes through him).
Alastor does his best to defend himself, assuming that Vox is there to end him. However, Alastor is barely functioning and despite his best efforts, Vox isn't deterred.
–
“I'm here to help you, asshole! Let me see that injury so we can fix it, and then we can try to kill each other!”
–
Vox refuses to take no for an answer, and does stitch up Alastor's injury. (Vox cannot believe Alastor even survived it).
He succeeds in closing his wound, and ends up looking like he's lost a fight to a badger - covered in scratch and bite wounds. Vox complains about it the entire time, but he's secretly relieved Alastor is alive enough to not take his help lying down.
Anyway, after his help, Alastor finally gets himself ready to return to the hotel. (When he first stands up, he falters and tries to catch himself with his staff - obviously it fails with it broken - and Vox catches him instead. They refuse to look at each other as Vox helps Alastor leave his radio tower and walk back to the hotel).
It's not until Alastor asks Vox how long before he can expect to be on the news that Vox realizes he has no intention of letting anyone know that Alastor is injured. (Alastor obviously doesn't believe him, but Vox does keep quiet about it. He doesn't even tell Charlie when Alastor does his best to keep it from her, as well).
It's not until they arrive with the brand new hotel, Lucifer being present, and everyone recovering after the failed Extermination, that Vox realizes he intends on staying at the hotel, even without his original excuse.
(He needs to make sure Alastor recovers, after all).
