    Summary

    Soon after arriving in Saint Louis in 1924, after being unable to stand abjuration by his farm-rooted family, Johan Nylander became a regular on the guest list of the Lackadaisy Speakeasy- and shortly after that became a dancer and dutiful employee of Mrs. May. Out of all the individuals within the establishment, Johan grew closest with the band's saxophone player, Dorian Zibowski- who gave Johan his stage name, "Snowball," as well as one of the top enforcers behind the establishment, Mordecai Heller.

    By 1926, after the death of Atlas May and the start of Lackadaisy's decline, Johan is wracked with the sense that the life he had found by chance was now hanging in the balance, with the likelihood of it all falling apart looming over him.

    Now forced to grapple with an incomplete love life, the fear of the speakeasy that provided him his sense of belonging and ease going under, his loyalty to Mitzi, and the prospect of having to throw himself into the middle of Lackadaisy's bootlegging operation, the fate of Johan's future is uncertain- the only certainty he knows being that what lies ahead will test him to his limits.

    Summary

    Virgil Matthews has lost everything in his life. He'd lost it time and time again, and each time he does, he finds himself to be the bringer of his own damnation. But he was somebody, once. And maybe he can be somebody again.

    (Yes, this is a fic about the Virgil, the one and only, the formerly football-playing maverick who'd gotten himself trapped at the bottom of a bottle and eventually, in a prison cell with Zib. That guy.)

    Summary

    “You don’t look scared at all.” Gary huffed, hinting on a joking tone, but a sudden shiver appearing in the last word sold him out.
    “Very flattering of you to say, but I’m terrified like most of the time.” Avocato said, feeling the words scratching his throat.
    “Really?” Gary asked, glancing at him.
    There was something in his eyes, some hidden need, some kind of pulse that thrummed and beat and vibrated. Some kind of emotion Avocato couldn’t exactly name. Just something that made Avocato all messy inside.
