well, I think it's time to come clean and reveal the truth about WHY this charming redhead scoundrel was shot in the head, definitely not being mistaken for a deer!
"this man's just got to go!" declared his enemies, but the ladies begged, "don't you try to do it, please" ©
you know, I guess, that in Asileverse!AU the appearance of a sinner is connected with life, deeds and sins; you remember, I guess, that Alastor got along so well with New Orleans women, although he just listened to them, accompanied home, was adorable and loved to dance, that husbands couldn't stand him; and... oh, you maybe know that, — besides the fact that deer is a gorgeous animal which symbolizes abundance, manhood and sacrifice, — horns and antlers were a well-known symbol of marital infidelity?
well, one of Alastor's non-girlfriends, whom he walked home too often, turned out to have an overly jealous husband with weak nerves and a gun, oh, Alastor, you'd better run
BANG, and then, babe, everything went black
however, Alastor doesn't care, — this death seems to him pretty hilarious, he makes a lot of jokes when he's in a company he trusts (the bullet was wasted, I've NEVER kissed that lady!), and only regrets that this asshole shot him before the repeal of the Volstead act (damn, I will find him someday!)
Alastor has a severe migraine attack once a year, and his neck often hurts because antlers are heavy, but at least he's even more handsome than before ✨
