    Summary

    1920s New York City.
    An ambitious young reporter and a celebrated radio star find themselves tied to the same fate by a murder. In a world shaped by newspapers and airwaves, they influence public opinion while gradually reshaping one another's lives.
    Under Alastor's influence, Vincent begins to break free from the rules, institutions, and authorities that once confined him, setting his sights on ever greater power.

    But some chains are only forged after others have been broken.

    Summary

    "For what is a man, what has he got? - If not himself, then he has naught - To say the things he truly feels - And not the words of one who kneels - The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way"

    Following the finale, the hotel and the Vees decide to forbid the now-free Alastor and the now-subdued Vox from seeing each other after the stunt they’ve pulled, afraid they’d cause more trouble for hell.

    But obsessive hatred runs quite deep, and if the two can’t find a way to ruin each other’s lives in hell, they’d risk everything to find another way in another place.

    Somewhere out there exists a universe in which Alastor and Vox are as close in every sense as possible. Geographically, temporally, emotionally. An alternative version of Al and Vincent on Earth in the modern times. One day, they begin to get spontaneously possessed by their demon counterparts, whose plan consists of tormenting each other in their bodies.

    Their possessions won’t always be timely consistent, leading to a few teeny-tiny... mishaps.

    Summary

    When the other Vees don't show up to stop Vox, Alastor is forced to, once again, save the day himself. He offers to make Vox a deal. One martini in exchange for saving the world.

    Of course, every deal made in Hell has much more to it than what the words alone say. Their personal history with the cocktail goes back to the 1960's, a brand new sinner named Vincent getting the lay of Hell, a wide-smiling patron of the arts, and an utter refusal to ever define a relationship.

    It's a love story, if you squint.

    Summary

    By 37, Alastor Hartfelt had a lot of issues. The newest? While at a party in honor of one of his least favorite people alive, he was introduced to a houseguest of theirs so unbelievable that he nearly usurped that title in their first five minutes alone.

    He killed men like Vincent Whittman: a Maryland transplant, eight years his junior, hand-gifted a position far exceeding his skill, simultaneously unaware of just how much he makes the lives of everyone around him worse and 100% willing to weaponize that the second it’s convenient. He would have killed him if the disappearance wouldn’t have been so easy to trace. Because now they were not only coworkers; he was also his (unwilling) tour guide to all things Louisiana. But when a night resolves in the last way Alastor expected, he realized Vincent was also three other things: still at the mercy of his hormones, easy to manipulate with praise, and so enthralled by the ‘world’ Alastor opened his eyes to that he quickly proved willing to do anything for more - from advocating for him to other whites, to scrubbing their blood off tile.

    As long as they’re both getting something they want out of it, Alastor supposes it could be good to have him around.
