Summary
“The camera also only shows so much, capturing the world in black and white.” The man tapped the blunt side of the knife against Vincent’s cheek. “Did you know there was a time when those with blue and green eyes were considered clairvoyant? Can you see the future, Vincent Whittman? Perhaps that was what made you a decent weather boy. Are you sure you should have strayed from that path?”
or: Up-and-coming TV personality Vincent Whittman catches the attention of New York's latest serial killer through a fortunate choice of dump site, beginning a dance through the decade of evading police, absolutely killer ratings, and changing the trajectory of Hell itself...if they can manage to muddle through this weird 'I don't know why I don't want to kill you' feeling thing at least. Either way, the 50s aren't even remotely ready for them.

Summary
“We both work in the entertainment industry, different mediums but same concept. I’m driven by ambition to get rid of those who stand in my way, you’re driven by dignity to punish those who slight you. That’s why I propose a partnership for mutual benefit, I kill for you, you kill for me. We both aren’t suspects and have solid alibis.
But not only in this, we help each other with our business as well. You can endorse my segments with your audience, and I can do the same for your broadcast. Together, we can climb to the top of the ladder, and rule the airwaves!” He grinned excitedly at Alastor, proud of his perfect plan.Alastor blinked at him. “Do you always talk this fast on television? How do viewers understand you?” he asked.
Vincent scowled at the radio host’s disregard to his plan and bit out, “I was a post-war News Anchor, I talk fast so people wouldn’t question the bullshit I'm feeding them.”A radio host and a television star form a partnership in 1950s Louisiana. Each fantasizes about devouring the other in a completely different way.

Summary
Hell is other people. Purgatory is being a twenty something weatherman with the memories of a being a media overlord who had the entirety of Hell wrapped around his finger.
Sent back to his mortal life with a chance to "do it right this time", Vox has a problem. The Angels have installed a patch in his soul: the Pacifist Protocol. If he tries to kill a rival, poison a boss, or throw a punch, he is paralyzed by blinding agony.
He cannot claw his way to the top if he can't use his claws. He needs a loophole.

Summary
Vox has been doing his research and it’s time to put it to good use.
His plan was simple. Well sort of.
Get Alastor to fall in love with him. Break his heart. Revenge ensues.
Why else would he spend seven years learning the courtship and mating rituals of deer? It's not like Vox still has feelings for Alastor.
What could go wrong?
OR
The one where Vox tries to use Alastor’s weird deer instincts to date him.
