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
Channel 6 was one of thirty-eight television stations in the state of Virginia. It was one of eleven television stations in the greater D.C. area, and one of eight in Richmond. It was a regular television station, nothing special about it. An unremarkable, beige building on an unremarkable street. The only remarkable thing about Channel 6 was that they had decided to give Vincent Whittman a job.
Vincent had never had any plans to be on television. Most of the time he hated when people looked at him, unless he was planning on being looked at and he was doing something he was good at. Vincent Whittman didn’t think he was very good at many things, but he knew at least one thing: he was very good at talking about the weather.
Join us for a BRAND NEW sitcom, featuring a talented, colorful, and messy cast of characters as they try to navigate life, drama, and relationships against the backdrop of the Channel 6 building.
Remember: you can trust us with your weather, and trust ME with your entertainment!

Summary
“May I ask what the occasion is? Is there a reason you’ve interrupted my day to call me here? Seems like quite a lot of work to go through if you’ve got no plan!”
More staring. That cold, piercing gaze. Almost unnerving, if Alastor was capable of being unnerved, which he wasn’t. The human still didn’t speak. Didn’t move. Alastor almost had to wonder if it had died of shock. He was growing impatient, and his body was starting to feel… strange. Malleable. Untethered.
“I’m listening.”
· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·
An accidental summoning results in a decade-long push and pull between a powerful demon and a powerless human. But what happens when the lines of power start to blur?

Summary
Vincent Whittman was the god of entertainment, but it seemed that Alastor Toussaint was a nonbeliever.
New Orleans, 1957: NYC media mogul Vincent Whittman is looking to extend his empire, and he's heard good things about a certain bright young man who is reviving the glory days of radio down in Louisiana. Determined to replicate that success, he pays a visit to the offices of 93.3 KYLL-FM to meet the host — who seems wholly unimpressed by his power and fame, and his offer to let Alastor share in it. Determined not to be outshone by the proclaimed prince of radio, Vincent says he'll just buy the station for himself and make Alastor his employee. Al doesn't like that. He decides that perhaps Vincent Whittman needs to return to New York City — in a body bag. But things take a turn when the god of entertainment proves he's not just a handsome face and charming voice.
There are two serial killers in New Orleans.

Summary
Because of a childhood marked by extreme religious rules, Vincent sees faith as a powerful tool of control. With that belief in mind, he sets himself a goal: to use the growing popularity of television to reach the top and build a media empire. Built on blood, if necessary.
His greatest inspiration and current obsession is the late radio broadcaster and serial killer Alastor Hartfelt. What he admires most about him is the ability he demonstrated in life to captivate his audience while concealing his true nature.
After making certain discoveries and hoping to accelerate his own plans, Vincent decides to follow in Alastor's footsteps and make a deal with a demon. Things become complicated when he discovers that the creature he summoned is Alastor himself. Now he will have to learn to live alongside the man he has always admired while trying to make his ambitions a reality.

Summary
Alastor's no longer in his prime but he isn't going to let that slow him down or stop him from his wants, needs and desires even if its beginning to wear on him. He is a man of many and a known staple in New Orleans but only for what he used to show and not what truly lurks in the shadows. Unfortunately it looks as if he's picked up a puppy who doesn't seem to want to leave him be even when the mask is hung for the night which proves rather agitating until he realizes this new devotee could be put to some use and is more than willing to oblige whatever sick or twisted order the older man needs from him. Maybe having some renewed life around his rather repetitive and dull schedule will give this old man the fire that was doused so many years back.

Summary
The year is 1955, and Vincent Whittman's life is perfect. Skilled, ambitious, and deadly in more than a metaphorical way, he's poised to take the world by storm. His ratings are rising, he's loved by everyone around him, he's getting a pay raise, and as long as he doesn't think too hard about how much he hates, hates, hates that fool on the new nighttime show who gets more attention than him, things are almost too good to be true.
Except his studio just acquired a smaller one, and one of the new transfers, Alastor, rubbed him the wrong way and now he's got to try not to think about that too. Not his condescending attitude or the eye-catching way he walks or how his show is incredible, actually, and he earned every second of his airtime despite being an insufferable fop who think's he's better than Vincent.
Keeping his mind off the things he's not supposed to be thinking about is only getting harder and harder these days.
1950s AU exploring the idea of what could have happened if the terms of Alastor’s deal were different from the canon.
