Summary
Vincent Whitman and Alastor are portrayed as powerful rivals whose conflict begins as a distant media war between television and radio, but becomes far more personal when they discover they are alike in ways neither wants to admit. Vincent is cold, controlled, and exacting, using television as a symbol of visibility, perfection, and influence, while Alastor is theatrical, menacing, and deeply tied to radio, voice, and presence. Their rivalry starts through indirect insults and public performances, then shifts into a tense, private confrontation when they meet while burying bodies.
At first, they are repulsed by the idea that they share the same nature, yet that realization forces them into a strange intimacy. When they are pursued by police, Alastor kisses Vincent as a calculated act of deception, but Vincent turns it into something more, both a flawless performance and a deliberate way to provoke Alastor. Their physical closeness becomes a weapon, a test of control, and a sign that their rivalry has turned dangerously personal. By the end, neither of them has truly won; instead, their relationship has become more intimate, more volatile, and more threatening than before.

Summary
Vincent Whittman has grown too large for his simple hometown in Virginia. In hopes of expanding his influence, he moves to one of the most popular cities in the United States: New Orleans. It's not long before Vincent meets the city's well known charmer and personal celebrity. Vincent has unorthodox means of getting what he wants, but he's never gotten any pushback. Not until Alastor.
A target turned ally is a difficult dynamic to navigate, but Alastor has more pressing issues. With larger schemes than Alastor has ever tackled before, and the dangerous corporate politics of Vincent Whittman’s life, he’s trying his hardest to maintain control and not let himself slip too far into the fantasy of something new. But for the first time in a long time, Alastor can’t help but enjoy the fall regardless.
Two new chapters every week (unless I start failing classes or something).

Summary
“The city speaks, dear listeners. Just not always loudly enough for those who aren’t paying attention.”
Vincent Whitman has always known how to listen.
What begins as curiosity becomes something far more dangerous. After all, some people are meant to be understood. Others are meant to be chased.
-Sent to New Orleans in pursuit of a story, Vincent expects something he can control, shape, and serve back to America on a silver platter.
Instead, he finds Alastor, who picks apart every thread of the mask Vincent has spent his life constructing, leaving him exposed, filthy, and raw.
And for reasons Vincent refuses to explain… he finds himself liking it. -

Summary
Vincent Whittman was born for greatness.
He has plans. He’s going to escape the white picket fence future everyone has predestined for him, he’s going to climb his way up in the burgeoning realm of show business, and he’s going to rise higher and brighter until he’s the only one everyone will see.
He’s also going to kill his father. That last bit is proving trickier than the rest, but he’s got it all figured out. If he plays his cards right, everything will go his way.
Until it doesn’t, and Vincent is drawn into a chase that threatens everything he’s ever worked for, a pursuit that drags him around the world, following a shadow that systematically haunts and taunts him at every turn. What does this shadow want, really, and can Vincent outmaneuver him whilst balancing his own extracurricular activities? Only time will tell.

Summary
Винсент, всегда деливший людей на три сорта, никак не мог найти вдохновение и постепенно все труды, вложенные в пятилетнюю карьеру, грозились обернуться крахом и утопить его в серости жизни – пока не встретил харизматичного радиоведущего, с голосом, ставящим на колени. Теперь привкус крови сопровождал каждую его трапезу. И этот вкус – единственное, что имело значение.

Summary
Vincent’s problem was always the same: he wants.
He wants, he wants, he wants. And no amount of getting or receiving will ever change that fact, will ever close the cavern inside of him that always wants more. Getting is secondary, underwhelming in comparison to the thrill of wanting. Of chasing. When he found something he wanted, he pursued it single-mindedly. He made a plan, he pulled his strings, he put every piece of the puzzle into place. That was when he was on top of the world. Receiving his prize was little more than a participation trophy, and by the time he got it he had usually already found another want. Want, want, want.
Sometimes, at night, he wondered if his luck would run out, and when. What happened when he met someone he couldn’t charm or bully into giving him what he wanted? Who was immune to his silver tongue, his clever quips, his flashy smile or a flirtatious bat of his mismatched eyes? What happened when he took a risk that didn’t pay off?
When Vincent takes a spring break trip to New Orleans to celebrate his upcoming college graduation, he may just find the answer to that question where he least expects it.
And it will alter the course of his life forever.

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.
