Summary
Luxury Hotel AU
About a decade after World War II, Alec Scudder was a simple porter at the Grand Durham Hotel. He was completely immersed in a world that wasn't his: snobbish men and women stayed and flaunted their wealth. He hated having to obey all those empty people, but the one he hated the most was the hotel's young owner, Clive Durham. He had never seen him work a day in his life: he simply strolled through the luxurious halls and rooms, always accompanied by a mysterious mr Hall who seemed to have eyes only for his friend. Yet, suddenly, that figure had been replaced by Mr. Durham's young fiancée. On the other hand, mr Hall simply stayed in his suite and kept a low profile. Alec wondered why this abrupt change had occurred and vowed to find out. Little did he know that this little investigation would lead him closer to the unusual gentleman who told him to call him Maurice.

Summary
Erik just got that need to give Charles everything. It wasn't a basic return arrangement for what Charles gave him. Erik wanted to make the man feel good and take more and more of those unholy sounds he was making. He wanted to be a part of a bigger thing, push the events further, spend a night with that godly pretty man. Erik wanted to kiss his lips all night long, make it swollen and redder if it was even possible. He wanted to touch the man, explore his body. He wanted to discover the carnal pleasures. Discover it all over again with a man.
However, he wasn't sure he would be able to break from the blocking him mindset.

Summary
Life always felt like a performance for you.
You thought maybe if you treated it as such all the unbearable things you’ve endured would hurt just a little less.
From family, to pastors, to friends— fuck it. You’d forget it all in Club Carmine.
The place where you learned to truly perform, to be classy, elegant, sensual.
Being a burlesque performer wasn’t something you anticipated, but God did it evoke something within you that you never thought you had.
It was the best three years of your life, a living dream.
Until you met her.

Summary
If there truly was a Hell on Earth, Vincent had firmly found himself there.
He couldn't wrap his head around how his life had gone ass up; how he'd fallen so far from grace that he went from scraping the heavens with greedy hands, to crashing down, down, down into the deepest pit. He had been a god. Worshiped by the masses, adored in every American home, families gathered around the altar, eyes locked onto their televisions. Unable to look away from him.
Vincent had clawed and fought and murdered up the entertainment ladder, rung by bloody rung. Proved every rich executive wrong who dared to laugh at him, doubt him. He was the phoenix: transformed and reborn from the ashes of the bumbling, stuttering, weak weatherman, grateful for scraps. He was the voice of the people, who, with a righteous baptism, would usher forth a bigger, better, brighter future of entertainment.
And then, right on the precipice of ascension, his dreams shattered around him.
______
The year is 1952, and Vincent Whittman is sent to the Hazbin Lunatic Asylum for his safety and, more importantly, the safety of others. But Vincent will soon learn he's not the only monster stalking these halls... -

His voice cracks as he asks, “Don’t you ever wish you could go back to simpler times?”
“Of course,” Dirga says. “When we were all children, and we didn’t know what we would lose.”
Despite himself, Isabelo laughs again. “Easy for you to say. I don’t even know what I lost, really. All I know is this: I am in love with Alfred F. Jones, and I am maybe the last person to figure it out.”
