    Summary

    Welcome to VoxTek.

    Working here means becoming part of the system - or getting crushed by it.

    Valerie is a Level 2 Production Assistant, which loosely translates to "all-purpose scapegoat with an ID badge." Between server rooms, HR interrogations, and mandatory smiling, she's trying to build a career in Hell without getting herself killed.

    This is her survival log.
    Sarky. Messy. Corporate-approved.

    Summary

    This Valentino wasn’t the worst client Victor had ever had. On a scale, Victor would place this lowlife in the category of “tolerable,” though that was far from singing this man praises when the list of his former clients included the true scum of the earth, many of whom looked and smelled like such. He could say at least that this Valentino had the potential to clean up well. Hell, he might even be mistaken for a man who contributes something of value to society if he covered up.

    -or
    Vox (Victor) meets a new client and there's an instant spark of lust between them.

    Summary

    Vincent Whittman is just a few days away from hosting the biggest show of the year, his Christmas talk show. However, his producer, thinking the show is getting outdated, insists on booking a guest he wasn’t expecting: Valentino Rivera. The young actor, a rising star in Hollywood for the past few years, is coming to promote his first film as a director. The problem: the young man is a tabloid regular and everything Vincent despises—flashy, vulgar, and scandalous.

    Summary

    “So. Dying huh?” The man has a showman’s smile, one Val can recognize at a glance, “That must be awful. Tell me, friend, how long do you have?”

    Before Val can answer, the man speaks up again.

    “That was a rhetorical question; I already know. You have fluid in your lungs, and like three other diseases in your system, which are figuratively and literally eating you from the inside out. You’ll be lucky if you even last the next few hours, let alone to the morning.”

    How does he-

    “But I can help,” the man leans in, his showman’s grin widening, “I can get rid of that pesky disease for you, it’ll be like you never even had it. For ten whole years as well, that’s practically a lifetime!”

    oOo

    OR: Dying from an unknown disease, Val makes a deal with a strange demon. What comes next is more than he could have ever anticipated.

    Summary

    Velvette has never been the type to play hero. But when a mysterious new player enacts a dangerous plot to usurp the Vees' power, taking her two idiots hostage in the process, that's exactly where she finds herself. Now she has no choice but to go on an impromptu rescue mission, maintain the facade that everything is fine to the outside world, and prove why she's the backbone of the Vees—and she hasn't even had her morning coffee yet.

    Vox and Val are going to owe her so hard after this.

    Summary

    “You can’t hit me,” Valentino says. He’s practically vibrating with rage. “You’re not allowed to—you can’t hit me!”

    Vox sneers, cruel and mocking and hopefully masking the way his heart is breaking apart inside his chest. “Baby, I can do whatever the hell I want.”

     

    A decade into their partnership, Vox and Valentino have their first and last physical fight.

    “Vox.” Vel looks so disappointed when she asks, “Did you actually commission the science department to build you and Val a baby?”

    “Not on purpose!”

    “That makes it worse, Vee!”

    It was just supposed to be a little mock up of an idea! Just an idle thought! It wasn't supposed to be alive and flying about the room!

    Summary

    "I'm not scared by extreme, although I doubt I'll find it interesting. What is it?"
    Valentino's eyes narrow slyly over his smile. "If you aren't scared, why do you need a warning?"

     

    Vox has everything under control in his new business partnership with benefits. His emotions, his unfortunate desires, the little mind games they play. Even Valentino himself. When Val offers an invitation to a special show he's performing, Vox knows it's a dare, and knows he has to take it, show Val that he can't be scared or destabilized.

    He has no idea of how deep under his skin the show will get.

    Summary

    He isn’t expecting the way Valentino walks, for some reason. Maybe it’s the extra limbs. Maybe it’s the wings. Maybe it’s the heels. Vox had skipped briefly through a few of the slut’s movies, for research, and isn’t expecting the way Valentino moves in person to feel so…

    Different.

    “…You must be my four o’clock,” he says, standing and offering a hand. Oh, shit, he’s huge. Valentino towers over him, easily would without the stripper heels. Vox is not afraid of heights.

    A radiator in winter. Unscrew the cap and bleed the pipes; let the heat simmer to the top.

    A fingernail, pulsing maroon trapped beneath a hard keratin bed. Clench your jaw, press a pin, and feel the tension weep out of you.

    Summary

    SATELLITE OFFICER VICQUEMARE — Vicquemare looks at you once they’re both gone, sighs, and looks away. “You know you have to leave,” he says.

    EMPATHY [Impossible: Failure] — Perhaps he’s threatened by you? Your work on this case was exemplary, especially with some of Harry’s weight on your shoulders. It’s possible he doesn’t want to be outshone. You doubt it, however. It’s just good to have a theory.

    YOU — “Why is that, officer?” you ask, curious.

    SATELLITE OFFICER VICQUEMARE — “I know you’re smart enough to get it,” he says. The words should by all rights be cruel, but they just sound sincere and tired.

    ESPRIT DE CORPS [Heroic: Success] — You’re a superstar, he thinks, in his mental mockery of his unfortunate best friend’s situationally inappropriate vocabulary. Precinct 41 is a black hole. Revachol needs some fucking light. Leave.

    (After they return to Precinct 41, Jean and Kim talk about the elephant that's absent from the room, recovering from his bulletwounds)
