    Summary

    Alastor didn’t meet his eyes; his gaze stayed fixed on the gun in his hand as he opened the cylinder and tipped the remaining bullets into his hand. He looked at them for a moment, rattling them around with muted clinks before finally taking one between his fingers and slipping it into a chamber. “Have you ever played Russian roulette?”

    Eyes wide, Vox couldn’t suppress his derisive snort. “Fuck no. Why would I?” He watched Alastor snap the cylinder back into place and give it a spin, the chrome flashing like a disco ball. Vox swallowed. “Have you?”

    The smirk Alastor shot him was dark and dangerous, and he felt his heart clench. “Once. It was quite a rush.” With his thumb, he pulled the hammer back; there was a decisive click as it locked into place. “Fancy a game?”

    Summary

    Out of options and desperate to contact the other side, Alastor sells his soul preemptively to ensure that the demon he summons must grant his request for power.

    The demon he ended up summoning by the name of Vox, who is as insatiable as he is impossible, gives him far more than he bargained for.

    Alastor’s life, and afterlife, will never be the same.

    ____

    Or: Alastor wants power, Vox wants Alastor, and they both are tasked (by Vox himself) with learning how to coexist without killing each other.

    Complicated, bloody, deranged domesticity ensues.

    Summary

    “The camera also only shows so much, capturing the world in black and white.” The man tapped the blunt side of the knife against Vincent’s cheek. “Did you know there was a time when those with blue and green eyes were considered clairvoyant? Can you see the future, Vincent Whittman? Perhaps that was what made you a decent weather boy. Are you sure you should have strayed from that path?”

    or: Up-and-coming (and extremely charming) TV personality Vincent Whittman catches the attention of New York's latest (and, Vincent can admit, also extremely charming) serial killer, beginning a dance through the decade of evading police, absolutely killer ratings, and perhaps changing the trajectory of Hell itself...except things never tend to go according to plan now, do they? For better or worse, the Rockin' 50s are here!

    Summary

    “Do you want to dance?” Vox blurted out.

    Alastor regarded the demon in his room. This puzzling man who consistently steps over the line, who Alastor should’ve killed over and over again for touching him. Alastor should say no, but he doesn’t for some reason, not to Vincent.

    Alastor finds himself chuckling and offering his hand out for Vox to take. “Only if I get to lead this time, Vincent.”
