Summary
But then they were out on the street, standing before the most glorious silver steam train, emanating warmth and hissing quietly to a stop, and Frankie couldn’t feel any stinging cold in his bare feet at all.
For a moment the boys stood, looking, hand in hand, bathed in the warm golden light coming from the carriages. The world around them seemed quiet, sound softened by the snow.
“This is just like Polar Express,” Donnie whispered.
“Yeah.”
“We have to get on.”

The Hazbin Express by AstariaTherese
Fandoms: Hazbin Hotel (Cartoon), The Polar Express (2004)
24 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Imagine the classic (Polar Express)—the beloved Christmas story of wonder and belief. Now imagine it with Alastor from (Hazbin Hotel) as the conductor.
The journey to the North Pole takes a violently unhinged turn as Alastor runs the train with zero patience, even less mercy, and a grin that promises disaster. Hot chocolate is served by his “friend” Husk, and the engine is operated by the wildly enthusiastic (and deeply concerning) Niffty, and survival is never guaranteed.
Will you make it to the North Pole in time? Will you meet Santa?
More importantly—will you survive the ride?

Summary
“Well hello, honey!” Lucifer said with his usual cheerful smile, “How were the kids for you this time around?”
Alastor let out a sigh and sat back on one of the booths in this train car, Lucifer immediately walking around and sitting behind Alastor so the taller man could lay his head in his lap.
“That bad, huh?” Lucifer said with a light teasing voice, but it was gentle enough to make Alastor relax.
“This one kid keeps pissing me off.” Alastor complained tiredly, his fake smile falling off his face and just turning to a tired frown.

Or; Alastor and Lucifer are both employees on the Polar Express. This year is their daughter’s first time getting to ride the train! Things go… bad.

Summary
After losing his Soul Reaper powers, Ichigo Kurosaki’s soul did something drastic: it repressed his memories, shielding him from truths he wasn’t ready to face. Now, back in the world of the living, he’s struggling with fatigue, gaps in his memory, and a confusing sense of isolation from friends and family alike.
When his father suggests a “change of pace,” Ichigo signs up for a semester abroad in the United States, hoping a new environment will help him find himself again. What he doesn’t know is that this ordinary exchange is about to turn extraordinary… and lead him straight to a certain magical train bound for the North Pole.
Some journeys can’t be planned—especially when a hobo and a mysterious conductor are waiting to guide you.
Or in other words, this is the tale of Ichigo Kurosaki and The Polar Express.
