Summary
Lonely private eye Jayce Talis was just another lost soul in the City of Angels. Then a glamorous antiques dealer arrived in Los Angeles hunting a treasure somebody was willing to kill for. Jayce’s best lead is a picture of a tattooed girl with braids, and his new partner is the man who took it: a photographer with one foot in the underworld and a face to die for.
A 1930s hardboiled/noir AU.

Summary
“It’s quite the opposite, actually. I’ve come to help you,” Alastor said, as if it wasn’t the most ridiculous thing Vox had ever heard.
“How stupid do you think I am?”
“Exceedingly so,” Alastor smirked and Vox scowled. He’d walked right into that one.
Alastor held up his hands in a sassy, little shrug. “But as I told you earlier, you helped me break a chain that’s been a thorn in my side for a very long time. So I believe I owe you more than a simple thank you. Look, I even brought you a gift.”

Vox is forced to deal with the consequences of his failed takeover of Heaven in the worst way he can imagine. Being left alone with his own thoughts. Thankfully, his arch rival and old crush Alastor shows up to distract him.
