#the Coven stopped sending young men as spies pretty quick

📕If there was a book about their sexuality, what would it be called?

@sunset-a-story Thank you for sending this in! I'll answer this for Ben Zebrowski.

This title could go a lot of different ways, depending on who's writing it and why, but I like the sound of something like A Knight of the Twilight Aristocracy. First, because "The Twilight Aristocracy" is such an evocative term for Prohibition-era gay men/queer people. Second, it could be taken as a hint about Ben becoming a vampire as well as him coming to terms with being bisexual in 1930s/40s America.

Ben got into being a thug for Prohibition smugglers and brewers/distillers starting in his teen years. Luckily, instead of going on to commit increasingly violent crimes or winding up in prison, Ben fell in with Desmond Walsh, a former cowboy turned vampire and community leader. Also, notably, gay af. Through him, Ben came into contact with people from all walks of life and uhhhh used his skills at fisticuffs for protecting his friends as well as for profit. Anyway, hanging out with so many different people really broadened his horizons and got him to consider his own gender and sexuality as a young man. By the time he was in his late 20s and became one of Desmond's vampire fledglings, Ben had unlocked cis+ and was on his way to becoming feared by the Coven not only for his viciousness in a fight, but for seducing agents away from the cause.
