Summary
Rashid reclines in the grass next to Sam, lulled by the tapping of Sam’s thumbnails against the glassy, glowing surface of his iPhone as he writes. Watching Sam perch in the window seat upstairs over the past several nights with his laptop [...] had been a lovely diversion during the sheer frustration that had been learning to produce fire.
However, the task that Sam has assigned Rashid tonight as he continues to whittle away at his prose is tougher. Rashid finds that making flames in his hands is one thing, but causing the tinder and logs to catch fire in the earthenware chimenea a few feet away is another.
Sam sets his phone down when Rashid huffs in frustration, rolling onto his side so that he can set one hand in the middle of Rashid’s chest. “Some vampires never make that leap, and it’s fine,” he says reassuringly. “There are gradations of ability to use the Fire Gift. You have it.”
“Armand’s finding-the-vulnerability-within-the-object advice is rubbish,” Rashid replies, tearing his gaze away from his target so he can look at Sam. He covers Sam’s hand with one of his own, tracing the backs of Sam’s fingers. “I refuse to believe I’m worse at this than Louis.”

Summary
Daniel Molloy, following Lestat’s entourage on account of the documentary he’s filming, has in fact shown his face in the crowd. Raglan had been right about Sam’s presence being sufficient incentive for Daniel to attempt to catch him for comment on Paris once he’s offstage, maybe—or to assume that some other party might also show up because of Sam’s presence, in order to either speak with him or to enact vengeance.
Sam doesn’t need to flip any more switches or control the rest of what’s happening with his music. From here on out, it’s automated, although he’d taken into account he might have to lock it down at any point and simply watch his mark (or marks) if he’d happened to catch sight of him (or them) early. He probably seems distracted now even if the crowd can’t see his face; he’s not moving anymore in a way that anyone in their right mind would consider expressive. His stillness would strike Daniel as inhuman if Daniel happened to be paying attention to the stage.
Daniel hasn’t been paying attention to the performance. His back is turned, and he’s looking at something else.

Summary
[City Lights isn’t] the most convenient rendezvous point they could’ve chosen—but if daylight outings are necessary, then Armand getting to spend time in places he actually fucking likes counts for a lot. He hadn’t gotten to do a lot of that when he was with Louis. Daniel finds Armand tucked in a corner chair with books scattered at his feet. He drops to a crouch in front of Armand, tugging the copy of Four Quartets out of his hand, and smiles.
Armand looks at him like they’ve been apart for days instead of hours. Honestly, that look on Armand’s face? It’s the best fucking drug Daniel’s ever had. Armand’s blood? Transcendent, sure, but those eyes. He leans forward in the chair, pulling Daniel’s arms around his waist—not that Daniel needs to be told twice what to do with his hands, either. They kiss like that until a patron elsewhere in the stacks clears their throat.
“Grow up!” Daniel shouts at their unseen critic, nuzzling Armand’s cheek while Armand laughs softly in his ear. “Bookstores aren’t for prudes!”
“Hello, lover,” Armand murmurs, running his fingers through Daniel’s windswept hair. “What did Scherr say to your next interview write-ups?”

Summary
“Good evening, Raglan,” Sam says, smirking even though Raglan can’t see him. “Sam here. Are we the third wheel, or are you about to add—”
“Jesus fuck,” Daniel Molloy blurts, sounding exactly like he’s sounded in every interview that Sam has watched or streamed. “The Sam Barclay.”
“Uh, yeah,” Sam replies. He’s going to have a hard time keeping his composure if Rashid breaks down laughing any harder than he already has.
“What a touching introduction,” Raglan says impatiently. “Rashid, are you there? This is your number the last time I checked, so I’d expect—”
“Is that my old friend Real Rashid?” Daniel cuts in with relish. “It’s so good to hear your voice. I’ve really, really been looking forward to this.”
“I can’t say the same, Daniel,” Rashid deadpans; Sam realizes it’s the first time he’s ever addressed him by his name. “Yes, Raglan. I’m here.”
*
Sam and Rashid trash-talk the Talamasca website, discuss the future, and fuck with Daniel and Raglan.

Summary
Benítez tilts his head a fraction closer, conspiratorial. “It’s a pity our devices have been confiscated for the time that we’re sequestered here. I would’ve suggested sneaking off to exchange more music recommendations since you’ve demonstrated taste.”
“Dally any longer, and I fear that neither of us will be in anyone’s good graces,” Thomas replies as Ray sweeps past them. “But I would’ve…” He glances furtively at Benítez; for an instant, it’s the thrill of misbehaving at seminary again. “I would’ve liked that.”
“There’s a computer in the office.”
“We’d have to cross Sister Agnes.”
“Ah. Never mind that idea, then.”
Oh, the things I would’ve liked had we been young men together, Thomas thinks wistfully as they approach the dining room. I would’ve liked you.

Fables to Explain Time’s Passing by irisbleufic
Fandom: Interview with the Vampire (TV 2022), Vampire Chronicles Series - Anne Rice
14 Aug 2025
Summary
The first story in this series, “Trade the Game You Know for Shelter,” can be read as a stand-alone. All of the pieces thereafter continue from the moment that first story leaves off and serve a broader plot that I’m in the process of building. Currently, the timeline covered across the existing stories is 4 September 1973 - 11 January 1974, but I have plans to take this series at least as far forward as 1980 in its internal timeline.

Summary
Sometimes Rashid wished he had a desk job.
There were desk jobs within the Talamasca. Archivists who worked deep underground, cataloging and categorizing the artefacts that came through the motherhouse. It would have been dreadfully boring, but there was a stability there that part of him longed for.
Not that what he was doing now wasn’t stable. Most days the routine was almost dull. His employer -- not the Talamasca, no, the employer with fangs -- thrived on routine. Demanded it. Perhaps the most important part of Rashid’s job was to ensure everything went according to plan.
There was, of course, one reprieve to the unique mix of horror and monotony he faced every day.
Sam.

Summary
As the bells of St Peter’s Basilica ring out three in the morning, Thomas Lawrence, Secretary of State for His Holiness, leans back into the comfortable embrace of Pope Innocent XIV’s deep, wide sofa. Ensconced by gentle candlelight, wine and fatigue weigh on his sleep-heavy limbs. Beside him, curled under a thick, woollen blanket, the Holy Father lounges. At some point in the last hour, his feet have migrated across the sofa. They’re safely tucked under Thomas’ left thigh, and Thomas has long taken up the absent pastime of drawing nonsense into the skin of Vincent’s ankle with his thumb.
A quiet moment on Christmas morning in the Pope's private apartments turns into something much more enjoyable for His Holiness, Pope Innocent XIV, and his beloved Secretary of State, Cardinal Thomas Lawrence.
Or, the one where Vincent and Thomas drink wine after mass and have sex in a very God-honouring way. That's it. That's the fic.

Summary
“You can’t stay longer?” Ray could. He could if he wanted to, and he did want to. The diocese surely wouldn’t have minded if he had stayed a few days longer. He could make an excuse, make use of his authority, and have one of the priests handle it. It didn’t sound rational to him. It sounded selfish and a bit absurd.
“Come with me then.”
