    Summary

    Husk is a down on his luck drunk who’s running out of money and second chances when he lands a job at The Mirage, the last queer speakeasy still standing in 1937 New York City. It’s a decent job and nothing more—until Friday night, when he first catches sight of the club’s star dancer, Angel, and an instant attraction threatens to turn his whole world upside down.

    Angel is juggling two lives, a mob boss’s son by day and a cabaret dancer under the thumb of a cruel pimp by night. He loves the crowds, the glamor, the excitement, but he pays a heavy price for all of it, a price nobody but the new bartender seems to see.

    Both men have the odds stacked against them, but they can’t help but be drawn to each other. Still, after the cards they’ve been dealt, it’s hard to believe in happy endings. Can coked out whores and washed up drunks like them ever really make it out of the gutter?

    A Huskerdust-centric human AU set in 1930s New York.

    Summary

    Ilya hums, playing the card he's been considering for this entire conversation. “We could make more interesting, yes? A bet.”

    “A bet,” Shane repeats, eyes flashing. “Like what?”

    The reporter cuts in. “What about wearing the other player’s jersey?”

    They both turn to her, and Shane says, “Like, the loser wears the winner’s jersey?”

    “Maybe at the next game in a couple of months?”

    “Is a good idea,” Ilya muses, nudging Shane’s elbow. “You will look better in my jersey than in Montreal jersey.”

    Shane makes a low noise, his eyes holding a bit of a spark when he looks back to Ilya. It’s what Ilya was hoping for—the tiniest crack in the mask. He can see a hint of exasperated affection around the corners of Shane’s eyes, a little bit of fire burning just beneath the surface. It sends a thrill down Ilya’s spine, and he wonders if Shane will be snarky when Ilya gets him naked tonight.

    “That’s not happening,” Shane replies, shaking his head. “Because you’re not winning.”

    Ilya should have known better.

    Summary

    Valentino has been betrayed by everybody, and they're all so mean to him, and he should kill them all painfully. But whatever. He's hot, he's rich, he's got Angel Dust just where he wants him, actually, and Alastor too. Plus, King Lucifer's just hired Valentino to do that Thing he does. As for Vox, well. What else could Valentino want from Vox but what he's got? Vox's undivided, loving attention. All day, every day, forever.

    In the meantime there's the tiresome business of these angels coming to murder everyone in hell. Valentino doesn't know why it's up to him, specifically, to stop them. Can't they find someone uglier to do it?

    Plus: This Huskerdust is heating up! Let's all go to Loo Loo Land! Zestial's got a secret! Carmilla's a concern! Chaggie is chugging away! Stolas!

    Summary

    Hayden finds Lily’s contact and touches the little call button.

    After a short time, the call connects. “Shane,” a breathless sound reaches his ear, a broken heavy Russian accent cut off by a choked up sob. “You scared me.”

    Hayden hangs up.
