Summary
'Never regret thy fall,
O Icarus of the fearless flight
For the greatest tragedy of them all
Is to never feel the burning light.'― Aternatively, lead detective Eli Ever and forensic pathologist Victor Vale play mind games over a string of ritual murders in an effort to catch the culprit — though, who’s catching whom?

Summary
“Well, some people have different preferences, I suppose.” He holds the cigarette in the ‘V’ of his fingers, flicks more ash beneath him. Victor has long fingers, slim and pale, like a pianist. “Some people drink, some people smoke, some people gamble,” he waves his other hand as he exhales. “Some people fuck, and some people abstain from it all altogether. What sort of person would you say you are, Eliot?”

Summary
** Spoilers ahead for Vengeful **
After his supposed death at the hands of Sydney Clarke, Eli Ever's body is placed in a cold storage unit at an EON facility where he will one day be studied, but never again draw breath... or so they think. June, however, knows better. Immortals can't die, they can only be temporarily contained, and this one might be just what she needs to carry out her latest plan for revenge.
Cities away, Victor Vale is still dying. He's tried everything he can think of to reverse-engineer Dr. Haverty's power-blocking serum, but without the dead scientist's notes, he's at a loss. With time running out, his only chance is to find the one EON agent who might still have access to the information the organization buried, but he just so happens to be the same target Eli and his new group of allies are searching for.
Once again, the former roommates' paths seem destined to cross -- or collide. After years as friends and more as enemies, no one knows them better than each other, making them perfect foils... or maybe something more.

Summary
And just like every single night, he would come and kneel in the dark. His voice carries no true name, yet Eli doesn't need ask him for one more than once even after two months. After every single candle would have been blown out, after all others had long left and Eli would pretend he forgot to lock the church's doors, that same man would offer up another sin ― never the same and never the worst of them all.
"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. Last night I may have―"
"Will you ever bring forth the confession that keeps you returning to me?"

Summary
“You’re really quite rude, aren’t you?” He wanted it to sound teasing, charming; it came out a lot colder than that.
Victor tipped his glass, and finished it. With a graceful gesture, he asked the bartender for another one. “So I’ve heard,” he said. “Begs the question as to why you’re still talking to me.”
Oh believe me, I will soon make you stop talking.
“Maybe I just think you’re pretty,” Eli replied. It was, in part, an attempt at regaining control of the situation, of making his cover believable — lust made people allow all kinds of bad manners, or so Eli had heard — but he was also curious to see how Victor would react.
The man's lips stretched in a smile that could only be described as dangerous. “Now that, I can believe,” he said, the flirtation like the edge of a knife. “But I don’t think you’re the type to care much for pretty things.”
AU: Victor Vale is in the business of pain relief. Eli Ever is in the business of killing EOs. Tonight, specifically, he's quite intent on killing Victor.
