    Summary

    “I said I’m fine, Alice,” Daniel snaps, and time itself grinds to a halt.

    Not literally. Ha. The things you have to specify with vampires. Daniel wishes he could laugh, but the sound is stuck somewhere in his throat, along with his heart. Now, of course, his hand chooses to be perfectly still.

    Why the fuck did he say that?

    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

    "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

    Affair. It was an engulfing, death-defying affair. Sleep when the sun rises, my beautiful boy, but the nights are mine. Nightfalls spent in dissipation and ravishments, soft cotton beds, luxury of the silver trays of food waking him up, classical music being played from the other rooms, the glasses of scarlet wine placed in his hands, manservants alert at his every wish and desire. He, a human, led an opulent existence of an immortal. He barely saw any sun, he had no contact with any of his friends, it was nothing but only Armand in his life, Armand, Armand, Armand. Armand took him to the operas, purchased him mansions, held dominion of him completely, bathed him, dressed him and fed him, fucked him into oblivion every night until his flesh and bones ached, until God, he felt alive again, until he sobbed in his arms and bled profusely in his firm hold. He loved it, he loved it all, being thrown on the silk mattress like a rag doll, the vicious fangs breaking through his pallid skin without asking, forceful hands enclosing his throat. You’re mine, beautiful boy.

    a canon-compliant retelling of devil's minion era and it's consequences. starts directly after s02ep05.

    Summary

    You pop open the plastic Blockbuster Video rental case and push the tape into the VCR. The last person to rent was kind enough to rewind, so you hit play. After a strongly worded message from the FBI, the first trailer begins. An armandsairpods and Thunder_Puss joint production...

    "Accidental novelist Daniel Molloy is ready to do just about anything to avoid writing a sequel to the hit pulp vampire romance he churned out while in the throes of his addiction. Lucky for him that the luxury apartment building he's just moved into is full of beautiful and strange characters to keep him busy. His neighbor, for example; the handsome Louis who feels uneasy about the old building's acoustics and often senses that he is being watched. Louis' ex, Lestat, with his prince-like charm and sweeping romantic gestures that almost make up for his careless missteps. Did we mention that he is French? And he isn't the only one. You'll meet Madeleine, Eglee, Santiago, and Claudia. And, of course, there is the building's beguiling manager, Armand. A strange and mild-mannered man with just a few too many plates spinning and an obvious desire to appear outwardly conventional which leaves Daniel with a burning desire to peel back his layers."
