Summary
“Everythin’ costs somethin’,” Maman tells him as she stirs the pot on the stove with care. Alastor sits on the counter next to her, legs swinging but careful not to kick at her cabinets. “If you want somethin’, you give somethin’. Hurt for healin’, luck for misfortune, death for life. That’s the way of the worlds. Exchanges ‘n deals.” She sets the pot to simmer and leans over to pinch Alastor’s cheeks. He pulls a frown to hide his laughter and swats at her hands. The next time she pauses in her humming, he points confidently to himself.
“Tha’s right, a deal’s how I got ya. My finest work, if I do say so myself. And I do,” Maman laughs. Alastor holds up his hands, palms up, and moves them slightly side-to-side while tilting his head in question. She waves him off. “Don’t you be worryin’ ‘bout that none. The exchange was well worth what I paid, I’ll tell ya that much. The rest is my business, now, ain’t it?” She tweaks his nose and Alastor hides his grin behind his hands.
“You’re the best deal I ever made, Al,” she says, voice soft. “Don’t ya ever forget it.”

Summary
Alastor, plagued by his own boredom, will do anything to scratch the itch that never seems to go away. He even goes to torment Vox after his failures, to entertain himself, of course! Truly, the bottom of the barrel. Yet, events do not go the way Alastor imagined after they discover a strange way to bond.

Summary
"For what is a man, what has he got? - If not himself, then he has naught - To say the things he truly feels - And not the words of one who kneels - The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way"
Following the finale, the hotel and the Vees decide to forbid the now-free Alastor and the now-subdued Vox from seeing each other after the stunt they’ve pulled, afraid they’d cause more trouble for hell.
But obsessive hatred runs quite deep, and if the two can’t find a way to ruin each other’s lives in hell, they’d risk everything to find another way in another place.
Somewhere out there exists a universe in which Alastor and Vox are as close in every sense as possible. Geographically, temporally, emotionally. An alternative version of Al and Vincent on Earth in the modern times. One day, they begin to get spontaneously possessed by their demon counterparts, whose plan consists of tormenting each other in their bodies.
Their possessions won’t always be timely consistent, leading to a few teeny-tiny... mishaps.
