    Summary

    Exasperated, Val set the mint plant down with a dull thunk of terracotta. Alastor’s eyes darted to it covetously, but he didn’t move. “Having shared custody of that prick over there makes us in-laws or something, I don’t know. And I can be nice. Look at me, trying so hard to be nice, and you’re hurting my feelings.” As he spoke, he dangled the trowel from one limp wrist like a faggot.

    “Your feelings,” Alastor said dubiously.

    “Yes, my feelings, because unlike some other macho cabrónes in this room, I’m in touch with my inner joy and whimsy.”

    “Good lord. Give me the fucking spade.”

    Or: Alastor and Valentino bond over shared hobbies, Vox is an iPad baby, and maybe there's something to this "relationship" thing after all.

    Summary

    Vox's screen fills his field of vision, arresting his spiraling thoughts.

    He's holding a needle and thread.

    Alastor's smile is curdling at the edges, but he doesn't break eye contact. Vox's gaze devours him, always so wide and hungry, but there's something else lurking in his expression that has Alastor not quite as wary as he should be, perhaps, because it's not sadism or even cruelty in the way Vox is looking at him now. Vox's smile is calmer. He's quieter, no longer jumpy with excitement like he'd been earlier today, although still smug and a little too pleased with himself. Far more tolerable than before, at least.

    "How about it?" Vox says, cocking an eyebrow. He holds the needle like an offering, like Alastor has a choice.

    Alastor deliberately leans back, letting his head rest against the wall with the vain hope that it will make the room stop spinning. "By all means."

    Or: Finally alone together, Alastor reopens some emotional wounds as Vox fixes his physical ones.

    Summary

    Vox was pretty much going for a celebratory fuck with Val to top off what has so far been the best day of his un-life, right in front of Alastor’s proverbial salad, mostly to rub in his old friend’s helplessness and discomfort. Alastor’s always been lame and weird about sex—the guy has no interest in it, and not even in a fun, dramatic way! He just thinks it’s boring and pointless and, as he once actually said, uncomfortably damp. So Vox isn’t under the impression that he could get Alastor to actually participate—

    Except he actually kind of is. Participating.

    Summary

    Vox realizes at the most inopportune moment possible that he is still quite pathetically gone for Alastor, and thus saves his life—in exchange for a deal. Alastor, on the other hand, strives to be inopportune at all possible moments, and thus learns what he is willing to sell in exchange for his own life. After all, "love" can be interpreted in so many different ways.
