    Summary

    “Deal’s not a deal till we shake on it, pal.” the boy extended his hand. “The name’s Alastor.”

    Vincent looked him up and down warily, but accepted his hand. He gripped it tightly, and gave it a strong tug, just like his father had taught him. “I’m Vincent.” He deepened his voice just a smidge. 'You can always tell a real man apart from a daisy just from his handshake', his father always said.

    Alastor gave a slight giggle in response, seemingly amused by the bizarre greeting. Vincent still wasn’t sure if he was laughing at him or if he just laughed at everything. He found he didn’t care that much either way, now that his initial anger had passed. Alastor had a nice laugh.

    Murdermedia AU: Alastor and Vincent meet as children one fateful summer. For years to come, they will cause immutable impact in each others lives, for better and for worse.

    Summary

    Vox needs to piece a new body together for himself after his (totally unjust) beheading, but he's interrupted by a certain someone looking to finish old business. Worse, his system manages to malfunction in just such a way that feelings end up being discussed. Oh, the horror.

    Or, Alastor and Vox clear up a 70-year misunderstanding via slapfight. Then they go out for dinner.

    Summary

    Nothing in life is certain, except death, taxes, and Alastor and Vox. Somehow, no matter what universe they’re in, the two manage to find each other.

    Alastor is nine years old when V and his fancy family move into the house at the end of his street. They’re not at all how Alastor expects. He’s never met anybody as cold and controlling as V’s parents, and he’s never met anyone he’s liked as much as he likes V. They quickly become friends after Alastor saves V from a cruel punishment in the Louisiana sun, and V finds himself welcomed into a family where nobody yells at each other, nobody gets hit for misbehaving, and where he can be free for the first time in his life.

    What kind of men can two boys become when found family and love disrupt the cycle of isolation that creates monsters?

    (A queer coming-of-age exploration of how connection, trauma, and environment shape who we become, told with grounded psychological realism. A litfic-style narrative following Alastor and Vox from childhood into adulthood as found family rewrites their trajectories.

    A companion piece to It’s Not Murder, imagining what might have happened if the two hadn’t grown up in isolation, but readable as standalone.)
