    Summary

    “Deal’s not a deal till we shake on it, pal.” the boy extended his hand. “The name’s Alastor.”

    Vincent looked him up and down warily, but accepted his hand. He gripped it tightly, and gave it a strong tug, just like his father had taught him. “I’m Vincent.” He deepened his voice just a smidge. 'You can always tell a real man apart from a daisy just from his handshake', his father always said.

    Alastor gave a slight giggle in response, seemingly amused by the bizarre greeting. Vincent still wasn’t sure if he was laughing at him or if he just laughed at everything. He found he didn’t care that much either way, now that his initial anger had passed. Alastor had a nice laugh.

    Murdermedia AU: Alastor and Vincent meet as children one fateful summer. For years to come, they will cause immutable impact in each others lives, for better and for worse.

    Summary

    Vincent’s problem was always the same: he wants.

    He wants, he wants, he wants. And no amount of getting or receiving will ever change that fact, will ever close the cavern inside of him that always wants more. Getting is secondary, underwhelming in comparison to the thrill of wanting. Of chasing. When he found something he wanted, he pursued it single-mindedly. He made a plan, he pulled his strings, he put every piece of the puzzle into place. That was when he was on top of the world. Receiving his prize was little more than a participation trophy, and by the time he got it he had usually already found another want. Want, want, want.

    Sometimes, at night, he wondered if his luck would run out, and when. What happened when he met someone he couldn’t charm or bully into giving him what he wanted? Who was immune to his silver tongue, his clever quips, his flashy smile or a flirtatious bat of his mismatched eyes? What happened when he took a risk that didn’t pay off?

    When Vincent takes a spring break trip to New Orleans to celebrate his upcoming college graduation, he may just find the answer to that question where he least expects it.

    And it will alter the course of his life forever.

    Summary

    Exiled to the VeeTek R&D division and hidden away from the public after his disastrous breakdown, Vox finds a device that lets him see Alastor's thoughts. When he realizes that the radio demon really is in love with him, he decides to try and get Alastor to act on his feelings one last time- especially because Alastor might destroy much more than himself if he can't confront the truth.

    Seeing Alastor's memories play out in front of him forces Vox to think about his own, but can he learn from his past mistakes? Or will another attempt at winning Alastor over cost Vox what little he has left?

    Summary

    Vincent Whittman has been demoted. One of the best Crime Correspondents America has ever seen has been burdened with the amateur task of trekking down to Southern Louisiana in the vibrant, multi-ethnic city of New Orleans to personally investigate the harrowing murders that have been seeping fear and plaguing the local tight-knit community. So instead of dishing out executive orders in his gaudy office in Uptown Manhattan, he is forced to march down viscous, algae-filled and alligator-infested swamp waters with sticky pomade running down the back of his neck. The hot, humid and oppressive climate slowly eating away at his carefully curated persona of perfection, as a charming local Radio Host around him acts clueless.
