Summary
New Orleans, 1928. The Bayou Butcher has been active for years, but only recently has his case begun drawing real attention.
When Evelyn Bennett takes a position as Alastor’s secretary at the local radio station, she quickly realizes he is not what he seems:
She sees enough to know better and decides to look not too closely.As their connection deepens through music, work and conversation, curiosity becomes something far more dangerous.
What forms between them is built on what is noticed and what is left unspoken.
A slow-burn story about control, awareness and choice.
Where love is not redemption and staying is a decision.Note: The chapters are still being edited for clarity and continuity.

“Think of it this way, my dear– wouldn’t you rather have the assistance of a man who’s informed about this wonderful city?”
They narrowed their eyes, but the radio host’s charming smile simply widened.

Fortunately for him, though, a man named Miguel O’Hara sees to it that Peter gets a new job.
…even if it is very illegal.

Summary
Thomas the Tank Engine is a calm world… until you wake up reborn as (Iron) Phoenix, a brand new engine with little or no clue, too much steam, and a knack for surviving teasing engines, impossible schedules, and very judgmental coaches. Somehow, you have to learn the ropes of Sodor's very own North Western Railway itself, keep your firebox from exploding, and figure out if anyone has ever taught engines about basic self preservation, and all while wondering how much trouble one rookie engine can actually cause.
And also, how do you make sure you don't die (again, maybe? Did you even die?) too soon as (Iron) Phoenix?
{Just as a disclaimer, this is based on both canons with all their retcons that came with them!}

Summary
When Lana Gomez stepped inside of Alastor's radio station it was like the universe shifted, like something sublimely cosmic alligned.
Alastor isn't a soft man until vanilla and honey fill his senses and a girl with a ribbon in her dark curls tucks herself close to his side whilst he walked her home that very first night.
Alastor Altruist is not a violent man, not until his love's heart stops beating, and he is left with a legacy he is unsure how to raise with out the comforting touch of her hand, with out big brown eyes that crinkle when she smiles. He doesn't know how to be father, but he knows he can't disappoint his song bird.
Michael loves her, he had her killed because nobody deserves his dove. A gilded cage is what she needs safely tucked inside heaven, with him. Under his wing. Alastor doesn't deserve her, and he'll make his pretty dove understand that.

In life, Alastor took a wife—not for love, but for convenience. Sweet, trusting Alice adored him despite the blood on his hands, convinced that beneath his wicked grin lay a man worth saving. But before she could prove it, death tore him from her, leaving only shattered dreams and unanswered prayers. Now, in the depths of Hell, Alice is no longer the hopeful girl who once loved a monster—Hell has burned that part of her away. She wants nothing to do with the husband who never truly wanted her. Yet when fate—or some cruel joke—pulls them both to Charlie’s Hazbin Hotel, Alastor finds himself facing something he never expected: regret. For the first time, he wonders if he had feelings for her after all. But Alice is not the same woman, and she no longer believes in redemption—especially not for him. If Alastor truly wants her back, he’ll have to do what he never did in life: prove he’s capable of love before it’s too late.

Summary
The Lackadaisy was in resurgence - clear as day for anyone who dared to care. This invited its own flavour of troubles and a slew of other revelations. Yet Atlas laid burried, his murderer still on the loose, and it was only a matter of time before the individual threads tangled together for a hellish dance. For Rocky, a stray newspaper article was all it took to alter his entire life's course, where he would be just a little less lonely - where he would be just a little less uncertain of who he truly was.
"Well, look at what the dark visage flaunts. From afar, a tall, dashing shadow beckons. M'lord, would you honor me with this dance?"
With gritted teeth, Mordecai accepted the hand. "It would be my pleasure."
