Summary
In 1955, a repressed Vincent Whittman has done some thinking and decided he'd like to try sex with a man, just to see how it is. While in San Fransisco, he runs into his old friend Alastor on a "hunting trip." The two agree that it could be mutually beneficial if Vincent's sexual experimentation is killed for sport immediately after, since dead men can't force people out of the closet.
Given Vincent's type in men, Alastor's type in murder, and a penchant the two men share for blood, their plan goes a little off the rails.
“What are you staring at?” Vincent asked.
“The blood,” Alastor said. “It’s— the blood looks very striking against your skin.”Series

Summary
1950's, San Francisco.
Alastor and Vincent are enjoying a honeymoon of sorts. Alastor thinks it would be fun to cook a meal for Vincent. Vincent agrees. The only delay? Alastor is very particular about where he sources his meat from.
Alternative Description: those two guys saw you across the bar and really hate your vibe.
The man on the ground was still weeping and bleeding, pounding his fist against the hard earth.
“The noise is hardly discrete,” Alastor continued, raising his voice slightly to be heard over the man.
Vincent rolled his eyes.
“You were late, Al.”
