    Summary

    After the blackout that left Pentagram City without electricity for three whole hours, Velvette imposed a new rule: never, ever, even think about getting in contact with the Radio Demon without consulting her first. Vox agreed, but when Alastor contacted him to propose a deal he went behind her back to meet him.

    * * *

    “Very well, then everything we will say and agree upon until we stay in this fine dump will also remain a secret. Agreed?”
    Vox straightened himself. It was time. “Agreed.”
    They shook on it. Green smoke and blinding sparks erupted around them as their more primal, demonic form distorted their features, and when this part of the deal got sealed and everything returned to normalcy - did it, though? Could anything return as it used to be after this? - Vox sighed deeply and asked: “So, what do you want?
    [...] when Alastor finally answered all of his sensors exploded all at once because nothing, not even his wildest, most deranged dream could have prepared him for what came next.

    Summary

    “Those look rather more like medieval torture devices than instruments of sexual pleasure,” Alastor observed drily, looking over the array of items Vox had procured for his perusal.

    Vox paused in the middle of untangling a length of silk rope.

    “...Would that make you more or less into it?” Vox shot back, one eyebrow raised, his tone as wry as Alastor's had been. As though having the Radio Demon over at his tower, pawing through various straps, harnesses and machines Alastor couldn't begin to fathom the purpose of was just the sort of thing that happened for him, on a Friday.

    As it turned out – it was.

    Summary

    Vox couldn't be implying what Alastor thought he was implying. He simply couldn't.

    “Are you telling me that this won't subside unless we... have sex? Or – what? It's going to kill me?” Alastor ground out, refusing to lower his legs from his protective curl, doing his best to keep still and ignore the heat flaring over his skin – the pounding from below his navel.

    Vox's signal was difficult to read – or perhaps it was that Alastor was simply too distracted, the aching need between his legs making bile rise at the back of his throat. Vox didn't feel terrified, though, which Alastor liked to imagine he would if his life was actually on the line.

    The TV demon swallowed, his screen darkening.

    Summary

    Angel turns to The Radio Demon to ask for help in breaking his contract with Valentino. Alastor accepts, but he could never have predicted the consequences that would follow and now he has to wrestle with his entire perception of reality being shattered and the effect it will have on his life as a ghost from his past returns.

    (In other words, modern Vox and old Vox are two different people, only no one knows. Alastor, in his pursuit for more power stumbles on the latter who he never thought he would see again.)

    Summary

    “It's been a long time, is all. I couldn't resist gracing you with my presence.” The flourish is charming as ever but Alastor’s swallow looks painful. “I'd prefer a tad less strangling, but,” A hint of cruel mischief dances in his smile, “we both know how I make you emotional.”

    It’s an old dance. They wield their past like weapons, knowing precisely how to hurt each other.

    -or-

    A midnight visit after seven long years. Alastor and Vox confront their past and wrestle with their inability to trust each other. A dual character study of sorts, taking place over the course of one night.
