    Summary

    New Orleans, 1933.
    Vincent Whittman’s assignment (punishment) seems simple enough: recruit Mr. Alastor Hartfelt, the city’s famed radio star.
    But his trip derails the moment he meets the man dressed in a smile too sharp, with secrets too deep, and a presence that hums with something far beyond him.
    One broken ritual binds them for decades, pulling them back to each other again and again, to the one soul neither can quite break away from.

    Summary

    "It's the only thing I've ever (I've never) done, what if I never see myself ever be anything more than what I've already become? I need a bad idea, I need a bad idea... Just one..."
    - Bad Idea, Waitress the Musical

    It's the 1950s. Alastor Hart is 21, and previously worked in a radio station until they got bought out by the local TV network to stop them going bust. Now he's working as an assistant to head of the network, 48-year-old married father of two Vincent Whittman. Vincent made it to the top with some pretty nefarious methods. Alastor has always wanted to use similar methods to dispose of his awful father.

    Sometimes, all you need is one pretty good bad idea.

    Summary

    “You look like shit.”

    A red gaze sweeps Lucifer from head to hoof and back again, followed by a well-sculpted eyebrow rising pointedly.

    “Yes, yes,” Lucifer says from very much not the high ground. “Pot. Kettle. I’m aware. Why do you look like shit?”

    Red places his free hand on his chest, fingers spread in gentlemanly offense. “I’m merely winded from all the effort I put into saving the Pentagram from your folly.”

    Uh huh. No doubt Red’s a real hero. But first, a point of clarification. “My folly?”

    “When you walked straight into the most obvious ambush of all time and were used as the unwitting power source for a doomsday device that nearly killed us all.” Black-tipped ears perk forward. “Ring any bells?”

    Oh, fuck him. Also, no, not really. “Well, excuse me for underestimating what you sinners are capable of. None of you have ever managed to hurt me before in all the millennia you’ve tried. I’m not used to ambushes meaning anything.”

    “Hence, folly.” Red tilts his head to the side at an inhuman angle, canned laughter swelling in the background. “You’re so good at it!”

    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.
