Summary
In an instant, all the lights and electronics within the lounge shut off, bathing the room in absolute darkness. Alastor’s crimson dials were initially the only sources of light that could be seen, up until his chin was forcefully grabbed and his gaze was wrenched up and bathed in the bright, electric blue glow of Vox’s screen.
“Sorry, Alastor,” Vox chuckled, his layered voice becoming the only thing Alastor could hear other than the sounds of his own rapid breathing and pounding heart. “Your operating system’s obsolete.”
Alastor caught sight of that large, twisting red eye, and like that, he was trapped.
No matter how much his body struggled, his gaze was longer able to break away from that swirling crimson pit. “Vox—!”
“So!” The clawed hand moved around Alastor’s throat to shut him up before he could finish his plea. Vox’s grin was manic. “We’re gonna get inside that head of yours and make a few changes!”
--
In which Vox decides to take Alastor for himself. Possessing such a prize, however, doesn't come without a few stipulations.

Summary
Adrien Agreste: rich, lonely, freshly aware of the fact that he's expected to take over not a fashion, but a drug empire.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng: broke, angry, freshly aware of the fact that bringing down drug empires is a blast.
But where would she be without her team, Alya and Nino, and her very good friend, Luka? Not to mention the team’s newest addition, the kind, the funny, the ultra charming Chat Noir. If Marinette likes him, that’s alright, though. It isn’t like she’s dating Adrien Agreste for real.
It’s all just part of her ten-step plan to make the Agrestes meet their demise.

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 (and extremely charming) TV personality Vincent Whittman catches the attention of New York's latest (and, Vincent can admit, also extremely charming) serial killer, beginning a dance through the decade of evading police, absolutely killer ratings, and perhaps changing the trajectory of Hell itself...except things never tend to go according to plan now, do they? For better or worse, the Rockin' 50s are here!

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.
