No Sympathies: A Tale of Those Who Trespass Against Us is a supernatural horror/comedy novel and the first work of William David Cope, who would later go on to write The Atomic Time of Monsters and Wizarding School Mysteries.The setting is a re-imagining of both the realms of Hell and Heaven, the former taking many cues from The Bible, The Divine Comedy, and the general pop culture regarding both realms. In this interpretation, the Princes of Hell have ruled over their respective seven circles for eons after their failed coup in Heaven, known as the Fall. But beneath all of this, something is happening. A puny and ambitious yet Affably Evil imp named Pug has big dreams of graduating from simple tormentor to tempter in the mortal realm. Against the wishes of his master Mephistopheles, he decides to rise up to the mortal realm himself, going through all seven circles of Hell in the process. Along the way, he allies with Alichino, a Marquise of the Malebranche who takes an unhealthy shining to him, and Matilda, a former temptress of a succubus who lost her job after ending up In Love with the Mark.However, unbeknownst to all of Hell, something has gone wrong in the mortal realm, and soon Pug will be way in over his head when a great calamity befalls the realm. It'll take the efforts of both our unlikely heroes and the long overdue reunion of the Princes in order to face an evil the likes of which no realm has ever seen before.In Cope's words, it's a story about "the plight of the damned, the virtue of sinners, and what it would take to make the devil himself repent."

Even Evil Has Standards: It's stated that the Archdemons united very briefly to restrict tempting after humanity did something particularly appalling in the 20th century. It's heavily implied to be The Holocaust. Asmodeus and Beelzebub are filled with worry and indignation when Lucifer twists their news about the Intruders into something that serves his narrative of taking back Heaven.

comment
Humans Are Flawed: Even God has to admit that it was in mankind's nature to sin, and that they didn't need a tempter like Mephistopheles to do that — it's especially telling that the Intruders' formation happened without the knowledge of any of the denizens of Hell. At the same time though, He believes that they are all allowed to come to Heaven if they are willing to face such a flaw.

Delayed Reaction: Taken about as far as it can possibly go with Abbadon being impaled by Gabriel's sword - which, for context, happened near the beginning of creation during the fall of the rebellious angels. It isn't until the end of humanity itself, countless eons later, that he gets himself trapped in the main Intruder and finally realizes the sword was there this entire time. So THAT'S where the constant pain that drove him to take out his misery on everyone else came from...

Self-Inflicted Hell: As it turns out, this is what Hell really is. In God's words, everyone is welcome to Heaven, it's just that there are those who refuse to let go of their sins instead of just facing them in Purgatory. Even the Princes didn't realize this, as they were welcome to come back at any time. Upon realizing this, Lucifer decides to make more of an effort to help the damned souls on their way back up too.

Mammon tries to pull this on Sheol while they're trapped inside the main Intruder, only to get frustrated when Sheol complains once again about how Mammon had riches that he doesn't. Sheol's response is to bitterly point out that Mammon wasted all those riches for his own selfish gain. It actually gets through to Mammon, allowing the two to cooperate for once.

Lust: Asmodeus will screw anything while forgoing all else. Because of this, his circle is full of brothels and pleasure houses (not so pleasurable for the damned), and is by far one of the most poorly maintained areas in Hell.

Seven Deadly Sins: The Princes and the Circles they inhabit reflect these: Envy: Sheol is an obnoxiously whiny malcontent who desires what lies beyond out of his reach, and is therefore the closest to Heaven. Sloth: Belphegor is a lazy do-nothing who is content to just sit on his throne even as his own body atrophies. His circle is a barren desert where nothing grows, and the sand is made out of the ashes of mortals lying on the ground. Greed: Mammon is utterly obsessed with all that glitters and shines, decorating both himself and his city with gold and other precious items. His circle is full of unpleasant bureaucrats, unwinnable games designed to con demons out of their money, and above all, Mammon's avarice ensures that the city of Pandaemonium will never be finished. Gluttony: Beelzebub is a perpetually hungry slob who rules over a swamp of excrement and filth where most of the demons are looking for a tasty morsel, be it mortal or demon. Lust: Asmodeus will screw anything while forgoing all else. Because of this, his circle is full of brothels and pleasure houses (not so pleasurable for the damned), and is by far one of the most poorly maintained areas in Hell. Wrath: Abaddon is in a seemingly endless state of pure anger and fury, as are the rest of his demonic kin. His circle is a traditional Fire and Brimstone Hell, complete with rivers of lava and the damned reaching out to destroy things. Pride: Lucifer kickstarted the whole failed war in Heaven because humanity hurt his pride, and even now he sees himself as better and more righteous than all else. He's too prideful to notice that his wing gusts have frozen over his circle, as well as entrapped him in his tower where he keeps the worst frozen souls so that they may watch his future ascension, which will totally happen...

All for Nothing: Pug's quest to become a tempter was doomed to failure even without Mephistopheles' intervention, as there are no more humans left living in the mortal realm. Mammon's great city of Pandaemonium, designed to show something could be made in Hell, is reduced to rubble by both the Intruders and Sheol coming down and crushing eons worth of work. Lucifer's entire plan to retake Heaven was pointless, as it was perfectly willing to forgive him and the other Princes at any time.

While the both of them are stuck inside the main Intruder, Mammon chastises Sheol for failing to check himself before complaining about what others have, pointing out that he could work his way out of the mess himself. In response, Sheol gives Mammon a rather bitter lambasting of his own for chasing gold instead of making things better for everyone like he loved to preach so often. It actually gives the lord of Greed pause, especially given that it's coming from the hitherto obnoxiously whiny and self-entitled Prince of Envy.

Satan: In this story, it was Mephistopheles who adopted this moniker.

He's a huge Archdemon with a serpent's torso, a body fully decked in armor, six wings, and he embodies the sin of Pride. He's also been looking forward to a rematch with Heaven for millennia.

Hope Spot: At first, Sheol opens up the portal to the mortal realm for Pug, signifying that his quest is complete. Then Mephistopheles shows up with Moloch in tow to stop him. Then the Intruders show up to invalidate Pug's goal altogether.

Shout-Out
 No Sympathies / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: A lot of Matilda's backstory regarding meeting her husband takes details and outright mentions some from the classic country song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", right down to Matilda being in a bind, because she was way behind, and she was willing to make a deal. Lilith being Lucifer's daughter is an homage to the character of Satan's daughter in Paradise Lost, which also influenced the portrayal of Lucifer himself to some extent. Lucifer being stuck in a lake of ice, meanwhile, homages The Divine Comedy (the "Inferno" section especially) and how Satan in that novel was trapped in the same way. The Intruders are nods to the horrors of H. P. Lovecraft and Junji Ito, though Word of God says that they're meant to be second-rate imitations to highlight their Generic Doomsday Villain nature.

 No Sympathies / int_c93a6560
comment
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Abaddon has a massive sword sticking through his chest, which aggravates him to no end, and which is mentioned at several points to have been owned by Gabriel; all she did was raise the sword in self-defense when he bum-rushed her and skewered himself on the blade. Amazingly, he doesn't seem to notice the sword's very presence until his Despair Event Horizon while he's trapped in the main Intruder.

Cry for the Devil
 No Sympathies / int_cc2db2cb
comment
Cry for the Devil: As this is a story from the point of view of demons, the reader is invited to pity their plight to an extent. Most demons are frustrated that humans are seemingly favored over them by God, and the Princes, for all the horrible sin they indulge in, got some really raw deals with their transformations into monsters. And then there's the situation with demons like Pug and especially Matilda, who aren't bad people at all.

"Eureka!" Moment: Mephistopheles had one when Sheol begged for Cain's damned soul, realizing that he could make a business of sending similar souls to Hell via Sheol's mouth portal. Lilith gets the idea to consult Heaven about the Intruders when Pug absentmindedly states that the monsters could easily be taken out by them.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Pug gets fired up at his friends when they suggest that the trip to Heaven to warn about the Intruders is a hopeless undertaking, but he also uses his anger to remind them of their strengths. Just about all of the Archdemons go back on their sins, especially Lucifer, when they're faced with being stuck in the main Intruder forever.

Cain and Abel: Both appear in a chapter fittingly about the first time a person committed evil and got sent to Hell. Here, Mephistopheles fed Cain's bruised ego so that he had the motivation to kill his brother. However, God states that he didn't need the demon's encouragement to do that anyway, robbing poor Mephistopheles of his accomplishment.
