Summary
Once Vox went by a different name. Not Vincent. A different name that brought him shame and tasted bitter on his tongue. Even then, some of his happiest memories are from when he bore that name. But now those memories are tainted by his current reality and rivalry with the Radio Demon.
Unbeknownst to everyone but himself, Vox and Alastor knew each other once while in life. It was a secret he had carried for decades but now as he lay broken in the wake of his defeat he couldn’t help himself to spit the truth back in Alastor’s face. The look of shock on the face of his once husband was the greatest present to Vox as he welcomed the promise of death with open arms.
His only regret? Not being able to see his daughter in Heaven one last time.
Or
Vox is defeated at the end of season 2. Before he passes out from fatigue and injury, he reveals his two greatest secrets. Is reconciliation possible? Redemption? A family reunion?

Summary
All sinners of hell bore some physical marks of how they lived and died. Some physical manifestations were more obvious while others were subtle. Vox was not an exception to this rule.
While his television head was an obvious indication of his life while on Earth, the mark he bore from his death was far more subtle. Luckily enough, his shame was easily concealed behind a high collar. Unfortunately, he is just as well known in his afterlife as he was in his life. As such, trying to make everyone believe that he is so much stronger than what his death implies is a constant battle. He only wished that he wasn’t the hardest one to convince.
or
Alastor’s injury from the battle is still not healing a month after the extermination. Charlie turns to Vox for help. The past haunts both, decades later, causing pain and problems in the present.

“Last thing we want is for you to slip and fall in the river,” the Prince said with a little chuckle, and Claude managed a weak smile that was hidden behind his scarf.
“Aw, are you worried about me, Your Princeliness? I’m just a sweet summer child, I can’t stand this glacier-ridden land…” he lamented, and Dimitri chuckled.
“How foolish we were to bring you to this freezing wasteland, Claude. However will we explain it to the Golden Deer when we bring their House Leader back in a block of ice?”

They probably both wished that those words had remained as simple jokes.

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
“Are you a demon?” Vincent asked, eyeing the shadow on the wall with more curiosity than fear.
“I’m your benefactor, my dear,” the voice answered. It laughed, a strange, tinny noise that grated on the ears and gave nothing away. “You’re careless, you’re sloppy, and you need someone to help you. That’s where I come in.”
Vincent wasn’t interested in sharing. And yet, with the handcuffs digging into his wrists and the mountain of evidence threatening the success he’d fought and killed for, the demon’s proposition offered a unique opportunity.
“What do you want in return?” he asked.
OR
Vincent Whittman is a suspect in several murders when Alastor offers him a deal.
