Summary
“You know that’s not true.” William takes Gabe’s hand to play with his fingers, twisting the engagement ring. He glances up toward Gabe. “Love doesn’t exist for people like us. The ‘til death do us part’ is a load of bull when you're already dying.”
“Dying people get married all the time.”
“Not people who are trying to die.”
-----------
Weddings are supposed to be a happy ending. Not in the finale to the Decaydance Weightloss Competition, though!

Summary
Gabe was not pleased in the slightest to see his soon-to-be ex-husband standing at the doorstep to an apartment that was supposed to be all his now, a symbolic transition into his new life, and yet, no matter how hard he blinked, William was still standing there, fresh out of the office in his tailored suit and cradling a bottle of chardonnay in his arms.
“When I gave you my address,” Gabe said slowly, “I thought it was obvious that it was for, y’know, dropping off our daughter or legal documents or shit I forgot.”
“I know,” William said, beaming that excellent and expensive dental care kind of smile.
-----------
While seeking a divorce from his CEO ex-husband William Beckett, Gabe mistakenly lets him into his apartment to have sex one last time. When he finds out he's pregnant, Gabe does what any rational person would do: lie that the father of the baby is actually his divorce lawyer, Pete Wentz.

-----------

Summary
“Look at the way he strides so gracefully.” William’s eyes slide down to Ryan’s envy-inducing thighs. “It’s like every step he takes is perfect, precise. Everything he does has an air of confidence, like it’s calculated, and when he fucks up, he storms away and pretends like he never did anything at all, still expecting you to bend to his every whim and desire.”
Jon shoots William a weird look. “Uh… are you okay?”
“Of course I am.” William’s head snaps away from the stage, but his eyes are a little glassy, still thinking thin thoughts. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
-----------
It's 2006, Truckstops & Statelines Tour. William has just discovered Ryan's ED, and he's a little too eager to let Ryan dig himself deeper. Meanwhile, as Jon attempts to befriend Ryan, something is definitely... off.

For None Can Forgive Sins by xzombiexkittenx
Fandoms: Interview with the Vampire (TV 2022)
19 Aug 2024
Tags
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
He never thought he’d be one for settling down—when he was young, his dreams revolved around spotlights and traveling the world and exclusive rockstar parties. But this…waking up next to the person he loves on a Saturday morning, knowing there’s pancake mix waiting for them downstairs and they have nowhere to be all day…this is pretty incredible. Perfect, actually.

Summary
“Dude, that’s so cheesy.”
He expects Gabe to poke back at him, say something snarky in return. But he doesn’t. Gabe replies earnestly, “I know. I wanna be cheesy with you. I wanna take you dancing and make you dinner and buy you flowers.”
“Oh,” William breathes. The way his stomach flips feels like it jumped off the deep end and left the rest of him watching from the top.
