These look really nice. The first one in particular is very nice; you managed to mix the flash with the ambient light perfectly in that one. Flash can be really great (though I will always love natural light a little more for my own work), and there are so many ways to be creative with it.
One suggestion I might make regarding the second photo would be to add something the bounce the light off of in order to fill in the shadows a little bit. Some white poster board, or a white reflector, or a white V-flat positioned opposite the flash would bounce some of that light back and cause that light to fill the shadows just enough to bring back some detail in the shadows without eliminating the moodiness of those shadows.
