    Summary

    Somewhere in India, a mother lingers in the doorway of her son’s moonlit bedroom, studying the sweet innocence of his sleeping face to remind herself that Carol’s perverse accusations carry no weight. You are my child, you are mine, only mine.

    Carol would like for something to be just hers again. Would kill for it—maybe has already, eleven million times over. And perhaps Laxmi is onto something after all, then, because who wouldn’t sacrifice the entire world for the one they love most?

    She drops all pretense and meets Zosia's eyes. However this all is going to end, it will hurt. Carol is quite suddenly sure of it. In the meantime, why not make it a little easier on herself, and on the person who against all odds is still here with her?

    Summary

    Carol knows that Zosia’s smiling that eerie smile they can’t get rid of; the reflex-pleasure at taking care of her and working to construct her happiness. Carol hates it less now, can tolerate quite a bit of it, even ask for help on special occasions. It’s a compromise, both their natures must bend for it to work.
    ___

    It’s the week of the anniversary of Helen’s death. Carol and Zosia have been companions for over a decade. Carol hasn’t been successful in reversing the merge, and neither has the hivemind in assimilating Carol.

    Summary

    Daniel lifts his head to look at Louis, and his eyes are the color of a forest fire, with deep vermillion around his irises like the sun's coronas. His pupils are gaping black holes.

    He looks down to his own shaking hand, and then back up at Louis. When Daniel speaks his voice cracks down the middle and it is the vulnerable voice of the boy Louis saved in 1973, the boy in love with living.

    “Did I relapse?”

    Summary

    Life as a vampire expressed itself as a series of movements, his maker once told him. Armand did not remember what the lesson meant, but one thing he did learn for certain was that Louis de Pointe du Lac lived his immortal life as a series of fascinations.

    Summary

    My estrangement, exacerbated by company
    -Mirza Sa'eb Tabrizi

    "Louis, who is currently off somewhere partying with men who look like him and speak like him and share the same collective memory, does not understand yet. It is Armand’s duty to guide him into the desolate horizons of vampiric existence, but too much remains of Louis’ era for him to fully understand why he needs Armand to survive its absence, whenever it will ineluctably come, however long it takes."

    Summary

    She’s so close she can taste it. The power she wields over them is exhilarating and horrifying in equal measure. Finding the bruise, Carol presses down harder.

    “Is this making you sad? Don’t be sad. Tell me what I want to know.”

    “Please Carol,” Zosia pants. The sound of her name, weak and wet, sends a rotten warmth through her. She asks so earnestly. “Let us make it better.”

    Summary

    “We can help,” Zosia said, suddenly right behind her. Carol jumped, then relaxed when she felt Zosia’s hand rest on her back. “Here,” she whispered.

    Her fingers were cool as she brushed the hair away from Carol’s face, soothing in their slow pace, their gentle touch. Carol winced as the room began to spin, and Zosia pouted.

    “Shh, Carol,” she murmured. Carol whined, but Zosia just guided her by the back while she cooed. “Let us help.”

    (carol gets too drunk. zosia takes care of her.)

    Summary

    She knows how to flirt, knows how to tease, knows the little mental dance around a first hookup, but she's never had to seduce someone through strictly physical means before. Never put herself so blatantly on display, a little silk frame around her bare pussy.

    Carol and Zosia's conversation about Camp Freedom Falls turns into an investigation into the arousal mechanisms of the hive (which turns into Carol dialing 9-1-1 for a bootycall.)
