Summary
Draco didn’t always understand how he ended up here. He could go back to the beginning, perhaps — those nebulous years just after the war. The Aurors at his door, the three week holding period in Azkaban, the trial, the two years of house arrest. Potter had spoken at the trial. On his behalf. His eyes had met Draco’s in the courtroom, and Draco had seen nothing in his face but fatigue.
After everything, life goes on. Draco Malfoy survives, and learns to live again.

Summary
Madeleine startled, looking at Claudia, and color flooded her cheeks. Claudia watched, fascinated. She’d never seen someone so pale. It was like she could see right through her skin, all her veins on display.
She stammered something, her eyes darting away from Claudia’s to look up at the poster, then back.
She moved so quickly. I didn’t see her there.For Queens of the Damned, Day 1: Performance

She lowered her eyes, biting back a grin. “Don’t you like games, Mariana?”

Summary
March, 1982. Vizcaya Renaissance Festival, Florida.
“These aren’t costumes,” Armand said, standing on his toes behind Daniel to hook his chin over Daniel’s shoulder. “They’re custom made. Finely woven linen and hand-spun wool. This is how men dressed in my time. In my youth.”
Daniel blinked, looked at their reflections with new eyes. He tried to imagine them in Venice, in a crowd of other people dressed like this. But it was hard to see past the hyper-modern bathroom around them, past the acrylic-rimmed glasses perched on his nose.
Armand smoothed a hand over the front of his shirt, let it linger above his heart. “I almost dressed you in red,” he said, quietly.
For the Bloody Valentine event prompt: Love You To Death

Summary
Armand bit back a smile, reached out to place her hands on Lestat’s waist. She dragged a finger up the corset-laced back of the dress, relished in the way Lestat sucked in a breath, shivered under her touch.
Lestat spun back around, ever the impatient brat. She looked down at Armand, eyes wide and dark.“It’s a beautiful dress,” Armand said, sweetly.
“Yes,” Lestat agreed. “I know.”
For Valenfangs 2024: prompt "wedding dress"

Armand watched, stared down at the mortal on the street whose mind spoke Louise’s name. The moon was full, and it shone down on the mortal girl; her blonde hair, the lenses of her glasses, the metal frame of her chair. She began to move, turning the wheels with her hands. Armand leaned closer, fascinated.

“Can I buy you a drink?” Armand asked, leaning her elbow on the bar.
“Oh!” Dani said, surprised. Her eyes raked over Armand, taking her in. “Arma–”
“Have we met?” Armand cocked her head.
Dani flushed, beautifully. Fine, she thought. I’ll play along. “Sure,” she said. “Rum and coke. I’m Dani.” -
