   Summary

   1940's Brooklyn isn't kind on the best of days.

   In the hazy streets, in the cold brick buildings of the bustling downtown, a mystery is brewing that entangles the citizens of the city in a web of lies and subterfuge. Crime runs rampant, investigations dig deeper than they ever should, and one way or another, this world is going to change.

   [Detective Noir AU primarily focused on the Voices in a human form!! everyone has names this time because this is meant to be at least somewhat realistic 1940's New York
   FriendlyGrey has been MONUMENTAL in the worldbuilding of this universe and has pretty much exclusively developed the vessels, and she may post some works in this same world featuring them!! I could not do this without her and this world is just as much hers as it is mine <3 Go check out her fic Rough Tear if you're a fan of Slay The Princess, it's great!!]
