Summary
Every now and then, Vox allows himself a trip down memory lane, back to when he and Alastor were good friends. This night, Vox rediscovers an old bit of memorabilia that has him reminiscing, all about one night when he and the Radio Demon shared a drink or two. The memory is a bittersweet reminder of what could have been, and what almost happened; lips meeting for the sweetest of stolen moments.
This work serves as a prequel for Bluest Monday, but is not essential reading for that story - an optional bonus, if you like.

Summary
The year is 1989. Vox and his closest friend Alastor have maintained a strong allegiance for decades. Thus far, Vox has been the Radio Demon’s biggest admirer and protégé, always more than a few steps behind; always wanting more than friendship. The 80s bring with them a new era for televisual media - TV is finally becoming king, threatening to cause a rift between the two friends. Vox, desperate to keep Alastor in his life, doubles his romantic efforts. Alastor, desperate to maintain control and power, decides to indulge them.
A story in which Vox finally gets the man of his dreams: a flighty wicked demon who loves to push his buttons. A story about true friendship, true love, even - but also about how it eventually has to end in tears. A story about how there may be potential to salvage it, after all. Only time can tell.

Summary
Alastor and Vox had been lovers once, for a brief period in 1989 - and it had been glorious. Nothing ever lasts forever, though; sadly things ended in tears, leaving them both as bitter rivals.
However, change is on the horizon. One late night phone conversation has altered the course: Alastor, reassessing his life after narrowly avoiding death at the hands of Heaven, is finally ready to try and repair the damage done between them. Together, the two old friends - (old lovers) - navigate a new dynamic. Can they secretly rekindle the love they once had, while also keeping up appearances as nemeses, preventing the rest of Hell from finding out?
(This fic is technically a part two, however this story can stand alone by itself. Part one takes place in the past - reading it is not required to enjoy this story, but it is recommended for the best experience.)
Discontinued but with a fully summarised ending.
