    Summary

    He has the eyes of a mutt; they’re different colors. One is golden red like sunrise warning, the other a soft and human brown. Daniel has to turn away from them as if from a cliff edge.

    Summary

    ”What’s the point of painting someone like this?”

    “What do you mean, beloved?”

    ”She looks like she’s chewing a wasp.”

    “And? What is wrong with that?”

    “It’s unflattering. Unrefined. You’d wonder why he didn’t tell her to, you know, perk up a bit.”

    Armand stifles a laugh with his hand. Daniel glances over at him, and can’t help softly smiling. Preening. He likes that it amuses Armand when he behaves like a philistine.

    ”I still fail to see the problem. There is something to be said for preserving someone in the imperfect stages.”

    Armand can look so tender when he smiles, sometimes. Butter really wouldn’t melt, when he gives Daniel that shy look from under his eyelashes, like they both don’t know what he’s thinking.

    Daniel and Armand, John Singer Sargent, museum visits, companionship, and talking through metaphors.

    Summary

    Armand's feelings upon dreams have always been this: what story is the hidden part of you shouting into your ear? Fears and desires often make themselves known most freely when cloaked in some lurid disguise. This was the old premise of the Théâtre des Vampires: we, the monsters lurking in the shadows of your minds, show you to yourselves.

     

    If Daniel is the monster of his heart, what story is he trying to tell himself?

     

    As Louis' interview unfolds, Armand finds himself dreaming of past disaster, of imagined catastrophe and of a love affair he cannot remember —and finds himself asking questions he may not want answered.

    Summary

    I'm a "They got drunk together after Louis fucked off" truther ever since Eric joked about it in one of the interviews 😆

    Also Armand might've been putting his blood into Daniel's drinks the whole time he was in Dubai, who knows, who knows…

    Summary

    He’s sitting on a beach he hates, trading shitty jokes with a centuries-old monster whose body count would put Ed Gein to shame and who is almost certainly also plotting to turn him into a flesh lampshade.

    “Don’t be dramatic,” Armand says, picking up on that thread, “I do wish you’d stop returning to that.”
