    Summary

    Armand discovered podcasts around the same time he discovered Lush, which now means that Daniel will come home at least once a week to a bombardment of scents and voices he doesn't recognise.

    No true crime podcasts were hurt in the writing of this fic

    Summary

    "I could tell it from your face even if I couldn't read your mind. Daniel, Daniel, Daniel. Is this what it was like about me, those early days? Were you driving everyone crazy with it, thinking nothing but Louis, Louis, Louis?" He says it casually, teasingly, but he's looking out at the crowd and Armand can't see his eyes. Sometimes he wonders if he taught Louis too well how to mask his own thoughts.

    "No," he says immediately. "No, no, that was — that was love. Is love. This is …" He hesitates. "A fascination. Nothing more."

    "A fascination, huh," Louis says.

    Summary

    A year after being turned in Dubai, Daniel Molloy returns to the San Francisco apartment where, in 1973, he first met Louis and Armand. The walls are unchanged. He is not.
    The room becomes a courtroom. Armand, the defendant. Daniel, judge, witness, and executioner.
    Daniel puts Armand on trial—not only for the night he took his life, but for every silence, every manipulation, every half-truth dressed as love.
    In this charged confrontation, the line between justice and vengeance blurs. Old wounds are reopened, ancient fears laid bare, and what began as an execution might end as something far more dangerous: understanding.

    Summary

    “Petra tou Romiou, huh? Didn’t figure you one for tourist traps,” Daniel offers into the night air.

    "They say that Venus, Aphrodite, whichever name you know her by, emerged from the sea foam here. She was never a baby, or a child, she emerged beautiful, with love and lust and desire following behind her,” Armand recounts.

    “Yeah, this is her rock we’re sitting on, apparently," Daniel agrees non-committedly. "Cut the bullshit, we need to talk.”

    Armand says nothing. Continues staring out at the ocean.

    “Look at me,” Daniel hisses.

    Armand turns to face him, and the breath is punched out of his chest.

    Seeing him again, in the flesh, beautiful and inhuman, Daniel is forced to remember that this is not just another story he has been chasing. There is no book at the end of this year's long line of inquiry, no documentary or Pulitzer-winning article. No professional detachment. There is just this—two monsters on a beach and a horrible amalgamation of emotions that fill Daniel’s rotted heart and scarred throat.

    Summary

    Armand’s sitting in a recliner by the window, legs propped on what appears to be a concrete block cleverly disguised as an ottoman— or maybe the other way around. In his hand is a glass of blood, mostly finished, with a blue crazy straw sticking out of it. He’s staring at Daniel with nothing behind his eyes.
    “Did you feed me your blood while I was unconscious?”
    “I felt we left our conversation unfinished.” He slurps the remnant of his drink; divorce seems to have shredded his air of mystery. When he lets the straw drop out of his mouth, his lips, slightly parted, are bright red. Daniel decides to look at the straw instead, which says eid mubarak in cursive.
    “I got it on Amazon,” Armand offers, like this makes any sense. “It was a multipack.” He removes the straw and sucks the bottom end contemplatively, his red-red tongue removing every last drop of blood, still staring at Daniel. The back of Daniel’s neck feels hot. He’s blaming it on the vampire blood making him horny. Slowly, carefully, he rises to his feet.

    _______

    Or, Armand deals with his divorce by going on a bender.

    Summary

    ”Clasping his now twice offended head, Daniel kicks the door closed behind the man-shaped whirlwind that just stormed into his home. He doesn’t need to further investigate the identity of this intruder: there’s only one person he knows with enough mental malaise to come pounding down his door, hours before dawn.”
    […]
    ” In the charged silence, the ping of response resonates like church bells. Daniel’s message had been short and to the point, devoid of his usual humor, informing Louis that his boyfriend had stolen into their apartment to find him, and would he please deign to let him know he was alive.”

     

    Louis’ answer is equally curt.

     

    I’m ok. Drank too muchj . Staying at Lestat’s.

     

    Then, fraction of a second later: DON’T TELL ARMAND.

    […]

    Louis makes bad decisions, and Daniel pays the toll. He’s not too mad about it, though.

    Summary

    On the morning of his fiftieth birthday, Daniel Molloy discovered an appointment on his kitchen calendar that definitely hadn’t been there the night before.

    It was written in an old-fashioned hand in dark red ink for 7pm at an infamously overpriced restaurant he’d never stepped foot in. He tried and failed to think of anyone who’d been in his apartment lately who would’ve booked such a meal for him and came up blank. Certainly not his daughters or Alice. It could’ve been his agent, but then again mystique was not the middle name of that flashy asshole. So then who?

    A celebration for Daniel’s birthday turns into a night he’d never forget - if his lover didn’t have a thing for erasing his memories.

    “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

    No one needs to see the lurker to sense they are there; even in the throes of deep sleep, Daniel's body feels some level of alertness pass over it without any outward indication. This dream is silent, when it wishes to be, and is able to enact upon her any feelings and sensations without ever crossing the threshold. A hand pressed, delicate, against a waiting thigh. The slice of claw against the throbbing artery. A mouth on any part of her, suckling, devouring, taking all that belongs to it.

    ---

    Armand exists only as the demon emerging in the moments before sleep. Daniel is glad to have whatever form they take.

    Summary

    “You know what I think?” Daniel begins, and Armand responds by way of an indulgent flick of his wrist, a raise of his eyebrows. “I think you weren’t just bored but jealous. Jealous of Louis’s attention, maybe mine too. And you couldn’t resist having a little bit of that attention on you. And then there was the chance to observe a real life human specimen in the flesh, tap on the glass and see what I do. I don’t think you could resist it.”

    Mid-Dubai, Daniel is tired, frustrated and generally sick of Armand’s bullshit. He has some things to get off his chest.

    I wanted to take Daniel's canon compliant 'splinter of coldness' out for a ride.

    Summary

    So sue him, he’s a jerk. He wants more, he always wanted more. He’s always been the first guy to bite more than he can chew.

    He wants the full story. He wants the grisly, dismal, ugly details. All the hideous answers to his hideous questions.

    Out of the penthouse, out of Dubai.

    A soft groan, both pained and vaguely showy, reverberates in that damned silence. Daniel knows then and there he’s not getting the fuck out of Dubai anytime soon.

    He wants the full story. And for that, he wants Armand.

    Summary

    Armand picks up the bag and upends it over the bed; he picks out the antibiotics and deposits the eight boxes in Daniel’s lap.

    “What the fuck…”

    “These are all different — which ones seem best suited to your predicament?”

    “Predica— oh my god, man, you can’t be for real!”

    Armand frowns. “Daniel, please. This is serious.”

    “I mean… it’s really not.”

    “Blood poisoning is, in fact, extremely serious, beloved. Now please, tell me, which of these should you take?”

    “Uh, these are all pretty strong, I don’t need any of these.”

    “Yes, you do.”

    “It’s not healthy to take antibiotics for no reason!”

    Looks like Armand will have to crush the pills into his food.

     

    Or: Armand, the plagues and the wonders of medicine. And Daniel. So much Daniel.

    Summary

      I can't feel my legs...

      Daniel feels something cold shrink-wrapping his brain. He feels a squeeze and then an expanding, like a sponge in water. He's in a room, a fancy hotel, the walls are peach and the carpet is teal and it smells like cleaning products and his arm burns and aches and he moves to scratch it, looking down and expecting to see the track marks in the pit of his elbow, but those are not track marks, they're too big for that, too open and too... He looks up and Armand is in front of him, mouth open and red and he laughs, he laughs.

      He is laughing...

    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."
