    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.”

    Summary

    The interview is done, Louis is gone, and Daniel can finally get the fuck out of Dubai and go home to his significantly less comfortable couch. But there's something lingering in that penthouse. Memories that don't make sense. And try as he might, Daniel can't resist the pull, and the answers Armand might finally give him.

    or

    What really happened between Daniel and Armand in that penthouse after Louis left? And what in the goddamn hell went down in San Francisco?

    Summary

    Armand bites Daniel in the penthouse with the intention of killing him. Daniel has a lot of thoughts and opinions about it. Daniel makes it about sex. Armand makes it about religion. They both make it weird.

    Armand snarls at him like an animal. Daniel laughs at him and bleeds on the floor about it.

    “What makes you speak to me so?” Armand demands. “Aren't you frightened now? Won't you beg me for your life?”

    He has such little fangs. They're cute. Daniel's disappointed he’ll never find out if vampire fangs correspond to dick size. For all he knows it's an inverse situation. Maybe Armand's packing serious heat. Could be totally unrelated. Unsolved Mysteries: vampire cock edition.

    Is it strange that Daniel would still fuck Armand, even now? Probably not. Everyone wants to fuck Armand, that's part of the problem.

    “Not this time,” Daniel says.

    Summary

    “Marius,” Daniel interrupts. “That was your maker, right?”

    “Yes. Marius de Romanus.”

    “Out of all the names you could have gone with, you chose his?”

    *

    The combined efforts of a brand new air fryer and a certain Daniel Molloy force Armand to re-evaluate his feelings about the Maker he loved. A post-S2 fic about identity and abuse.

    Summary

    Daniel visits Armand on the Night Island after he’s turned in Dubai.

    "What’s next? A yacht? A summer house? An island? You’re ridiculous."

    “Do you want them?” Armand asks him seriously. “A yacht, a summer house, an island?”

    "What do you mean I—no, I don’t. Jesus, Armand.” Sometimes he thinks he could really do without a boyfriend who wasn’t into grand romantic gestures, especially because Armand has such a propensity for inventing new ways to make Daniel feel like a class traitor. He kisses his sweaty head, places a palm on his chest and taps it with a finger. “I don’t need an island. You’re it, baby.”

    Summary

    “You doing all right?” Daniel asks him.

    Armand blinks. “No,” he says.

    “Most honest you've been with me since I got here,” Daniel says. And then, because it seems like the thing to do, “I can clear out, if you need the place to yourself.”

    “Whatever you prefer.” Armand's lips look chapped. Dehydration? He ate the kid with the sunglasses, but the smear he left took a lot of bleach to scrub away. Maybe Daniel should - “You won't be harmed,” Armand says, “regardless of your decision.”

    “You got served divorce papers so hard it left a crater,” Daniel says, “and you're still poking around in people's heads.”

    Summary

    Armand takes up art. He gets discovered on Instagram almost immediately.

    The thing about that is, Armand gets popular on his own. And it doesn’t take long for the media to connect the dots and start interviewing the two of them together, trying to make them into a B-list power couple.

    “So, Armand,” the latest TV anchor is saying, leaning forward while one of Armand’s charred art pieces sits on the table between them. “Your art: so evocative, so poignant. Tell us: why the fire as a medium?”

    “I like fire,” Armand says with concerningly visible honesty.

     

    or: those two old men are in love and move in together. Armand searches for identity; Daniel, as all writers, does his level best to not actually write.

    Also: this fic is medically recommended for anyone who has suffered through the ordeal of having an HP printer.

    Summary

    "I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham."

    "This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?"

    "Except we're not friends. We're actually very much not friends." Daniel shrugs, as if it's all the same to him. "And I can't imagine the great vampire Armand deigning himself to sleep on my fucked-up sofa. That thing's been here since the nineties."

    "Well," Armand only says. "I saw you have a guest bedroom."

    Summary

    Daniel is sprawled out across the bed, loose-limbed and lazy, somehow filling all the open space it has to offer and leaving Armand to nestle into the gaps. His cheeks are flushed, blood pooling like it knows what comes next. Maybe it does. Armand was reading about classical conditioning the other day. About dogs who become accustomed to getting food when their handler rings a bell.

    Perhaps Daniel is the dog, Armand’s teeth sharp bells reverberating in his veins. Or perhaps Armand is the dog, Daniel’s blood a song rattling in his ears. He has been a dog before. He runs his tongue along the bow of Daniel’s collarbone, gathers the salt-sweat there and imagines what it tastes like because Daniel does.


    Armand remembers he loved Daniel, once, and that Daniel loved him. Or a version of them did, at least. It isn't his intention to go back to that, but it's not not his intention, either. Such is the prerogative of an immortal: to hold two contradicting desires simultaneously. If nothing else, it passes the time while he waits for this miserable interview to end.

    Summary

    There is a memory you don’t want to remember.

    It happens in a room.

    Do not remember the room. But remember not to think of the room.

    It happens with other people.

    Remember, if possible, never to think of those people.

    It happens with a certain quality of light coming through the window.

    If you find yourself visualising that light, stop.

     

    (Or: Armand in the 70s in San Francisco, around 4 months before Daniel enters his and Louis' life.)

    Summary

    “You used to be interesting. A fascinating boy. I’m sure you can summon some of that to save your book and your life.”

    “What do you want me to do? Tap dance?”

    Armand took another paper from Daniel’s stack, ripping easily from the notebook. “Take off your clothing.”

    “Excuse me.”

    Armand’s blank look did nothing to clarify the situation. “I want to see what you look like.”
    -
    Daniel was alone, in a foreign country, with a vampire whose marriage he just destroyed. God help him.

    Summary

    “You want the favourite that doesn’t make sense. The one that’s a surprise, the one no sane person should prefer, but here we are anyway. You want to know which of these guys is the sort I know I would be better off without, but can’t stay away from. The one who pulls me in, who horrifies me as much as he fascinates me, who’s a mess but goddamnit, he’s my mess, and that’s why I’d pick him anyway. Is that the favourite you want to know?”
    “Yes,” breathes the talk show host, leaning forward, the spark of true interest lighting up her eyes. Daniel knows his own must glow orange-red under his shades. “Yes!”

    “Armand,” says Daniel, simply. “That’s Armand.”

    Summary

    Louis shakes his head. “And now he's got you stepping on him.”

    Daniel picks his drink up and necks the last half of it. “I have not,” he says, “stepped on him, as of yet.”

    “But you want to.”

    “I think so?” Daniel puts the empty glass back on the table and scoots it out of their immediate limb radius. “I think I could want to. I want to want to.”

    “There you go,” Louis says, “tell him that. That'll set the mood.”
