Summary
Something terrible happened to Alastor in his human life and when he wakes up in Hell, he finds himself as prey for the vicious sinners around him. Desperate, he makes a deal he comes to regret.
Vox is fascinated by the deadly, untouchable Radio Demon and somehow manages to charm the man who initially wanted his head. They strike up a friendship that leads to some fluttery feelings on both ends, but before anything can develop, Alastor's deal (and a certain moth-demon) cause complications.
Misunderstandings and broken hearts ensue, and a blossoming romance sours into something messy and hateful.
And then Alastor disappears for 7 years. When he returns, his fight with Adam leaves him wounded and vulnerable, and Vox decides that it's time to put an end to the man who destroyed both his heart and his afterlife.
But his complicated feelings for Alastor won't let him end his life and it turns out that they miss each other more than either of them realised. Can they salvage the ashes of their relationship, or will Valentino and questionable deals destroy them both?

Summary
Vox glared at Alastor. “You’re still not planning to tell me a single fucking thing about what to expect in here?”
Alastor leaned back and gave him a long, appraising look, his eyes sweeping down the length of Vox’s body. Vox’s screen felt warm, and he glanced down at his knees as Alastor leaned forward, opened the mini-fridge, and removed a bottle. “Champagne?”
“You’re a fucking asshole,” Vox growled. But he took the bottle.

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
He’d sold off his limbs and his skin and his heart, packaged piecemeal for the public. Val got everything else, scraps of misery and love bundled together until he forgot how to tell the difference between the two.
His mind is the only thing he has left.
or: Angel Dust is in his dressing room, or a bathroom, or an office, or a motel, and it was always going to happen this way.

Summary
The massive, colossal failure of VoxTek Angelic Security is going to have to be carefully erased from the minds of the entirety of Hell if Vox is going to stay in business, but that’s a problem for future Vox. Present Vox needs to figure out a plan so he doesn't die horribly first.
Waking up screenless, body smashed, with a hole in his chest courtesy of an angelic spear, and trapped in Alastor's nightmare of a room is not part of that plan.

Summary
A single, sharp thump against his ribs. Hard enough to feel. Hard enough that his breath hitched. He couldn’t stop watching Vox. Vox shining. Vox gloating. Vox destroying the King of Hell in front of thousands. Vox basking in triumph like it was a second skin.
The cameras zoomed in on his grin. The curve of neon light across his face, lit like desire or malice or both. Alastor’s fingers flexed against the restraints. The ropes burned. He liked it. Hated that he liked it. His smile didn’t break, but it faltered, just a flicker, a millisecond, a glitch. He felt heat coil in his gut, something foreign and unwelcome and dangerously alive.
“Damn you,” he whispered, barely audible, his radio voice cracking beneath the words.

Summary
The word lovesick floats to the surface of Vox’s mind, unbidden and absurd. Lovesick, as if the Radio Demon has ever bent to anything so pedestrian as longing. What use does a creature like Alastor have for love?
But the fever is real, and the scent of it is thick in the air, curling into Vox’s vents until his fans stutter on.

Summary
“What the fuck,” Velvette says, stomping forward, “is wrong with you, Vee?!”
“What’s wrong with you?!” he demands right back. “If it weren’t for you two, we’d be drinking margaritas up in Heaven right now!”
“Oh, sure,” she says, rolling her eyes so hard he’s shocked they don’t pop right out of her doll head. “And would that be before or after you killed us all with that nuke?!”
Or: The Vees, after the battle.

Summary
"Vox loved telling him about his favorite movies and, on occasion, subjecting him to them as if he were initiating Alastor into some sacred rite. He especially doted on his Marilyn Monroe—could go positively breathless talking about her. And that evening, Alastor had been just drunk enough to indulge him, wearing the faintest smirk as if he were doing the poor boy a tremendous favor."
or: Vox and Alastor bond over classic films in ways neither of them strictly planned.

Courtesy of Vox's sadism and Valentino's pheromone-laced smoke, Alastor gets high—and not at all mighty.

Summary
Vox realizes at the most inopportune moment possible that he is still quite pathetically gone for Alastor, and thus saves his life—in exchange for a deal. Alastor, on the other hand, strives to be inopportune at all possible moments, and thus learns what he is willing to sell in exchange for his own life. After all, "love" can be interpreted in so many different ways.

Summary
Vox was pretty much going for a celebratory fuck with Val to top off what has so far been the best day of his un-life, right in front of Alastor’s proverbial salad, mostly to rub in his old friend’s helplessness and discomfort. Alastor’s always been lame and weird about sex—the guy has no interest in it, and not even in a fun, dramatic way! He just thinks it’s boring and pointless and, as he once actually said, uncomfortably damp. So Vox isn’t under the impression that he could get Alastor to actually participate—
Except he actually kind of is. Participating.

Summary
“What’s a demon like you doing in an alley like this?”
Vox was across the length of the alley in a flash, his atoms scrambling themselves in his haste to get away. He rematieralised from his electric form to flatten his back against the grimy wall, claws digging into divots between brickwork. His eyes blew wide, the light of his screen casting a dim glow along the length of the alley as he swung his head back and forth, looking for the source of that—that voice.
A voice like a door inching open on a stray wind. A voice like a branch brushing against a tombstone. A voice like a floorboard creaking in the dead of night.
But no one was there.
~*~
A re-imagining of Vox and Alastor's first meeting in Hell that asks the question, 'what would their relationship look like if it was one-sided on Alastor's half?' The answer: not good for Vox.

Summary
He is the deer in the woods, lying on the ground with the hunter standing over him. He is choking on his own blood in his final moments. He has been stabbed in the heart. He has been shot in the head.
Hell is becoming prey after spending your life being a predator.
