    Summary

    “Mind your tongue, beloved,” Armand warns in his most sticky sweet, honeyed voice. “I used to take great care in putting insolent brats like you in their place.”

    “Yeah? Well…” Daniel leans back and spreads his legs further, an invitation, preening under Armand’s gaze as the vampire drinks him in. He looks up beneath dark eyelashes and flashes his most provocative smile, never breaking eye contact. “They weren't me, were they?”

    Summary

    “Finish it,” Armand says abruptly, reaching out to touch the bottom of the glass. He tilts it up to Daniel’s lips, the words an imperious command.

    Daniel barely opens his mouth in time. He chokes on what’s left of the watery crème de menthe and crème de cacao, but Armand doesn’t lower the glass until he’s finished every last drop. His head swims, partly because he’s tipsy and partly because of the brain freeze.

    Armand withdraws the empty glass, sets it aside, and grabs a napkin off the bar. He dabs Daniel’s lips with it, brushing the bare pad of his thumb across Daniel’s chin. His skin is warm and smooth, slightly clammy with condensation borrowed from the glass.

    Oh my God, Daniel thinks. Don’t lick him don’t lick him don’t lick—

    Clearing his throat, Armand sets the napkin aside. “You’re a journalist?”

    “Yeah,” Daniel replies hastily, looking away. “You were listening in?”

    “I caught part of your chat with Louis. You were going to interview him?”

    Was being the operative word. I’m not sure that would’ve worked out.”

    Summary

    “What happened to your assessment of him as my rent boy? Hypocritical of you to…indulge in him after casting it as an aspersion.”

    Daniel inhales, instantly prepared to use words, words, words to help [Armand] save face and also save his own ass because that’s his fucking forté. “My mistake. Your semi-estranged companion and extremely astute business partner used me as a glorified sex toy last night, and it turns out I hardcore needed to be objectified. I doubt this will come as a shock, but that worked wonders for my aging, ailing ego. I, uh…” He shoots a deferential sidelong glance at [Armand], who’s giving him a guarded look. “Wouldn’t mind if it happened again, but that’s at his discretion.”

    Louis gives [Armand] a look that sits somewhere at the crossroads of amusement, bafflement, and contempt. Razor-edged panic flares in Daniel’s stomach; he has no idea why such a specific cocktail of emotion should get to him when it’s aimed straight past him at someone else.

    “Let me have this, Louis,” [Armand] says with quiet urgency, his grasp on Daniel’s shoulder tightening. “He’ll be gone soon enough as it is.”

    Summary

    In the middle of the courtyard, crushing the green grass under its weight, was a stone tomb, covered in chains. Taking Claudia by the arm, Armand pulled her back, ignoring the indigent glare she gave him, before closing the short distance between himself and the coffin. He circled the stone, tracing his hand over the old, rough surface as his eyes followed the rusted chains. He glanced down at the lock where a folded paper was tucked beneath the oil-stained metal. He plucked the paper and unfolded it, scanning over the words before reading them aloud to the others.

    “We have made a grave mistake,” Armand said. “We are not able to care for this fledgling. He will ruin us all,” Armand tore the note in half and tossed it over his shoulder.

    -

    Daniel Molloy is a vampire left in the care of the New Orleans coven where he finds a misshapen family, a love unlike any other, and the hidden darkness inside.

    Summary

    Armand thinks himself great at first impressions. He ought to be, having spent so many years twisting himself into whatever form most pleases.

    But when he met Daniel, he had already shattered into the pieces of himself that are loud, insincere, cruel. The pieces that are not worth loving, some part of his mind whispers, in a voice that could belong to Louis or to Lestat or to any number of others whom he has tried to fit inside of himself and keep, an endeavor which has only ever ended in the same blistering disappointment.

    And now—as he is sitting in the wreckage of another failed attempt at shaping himself into a home, covered in plaster dust from an outburst of rage only a fraction as bright as that which he deserved—now all there is left in front of him is Daniel.

    Armand, Daniel, and the monsters memory makes of us.

    Summary

    Daniel drinks another martini and a half, says, “You’re lucky I’m on blood thinners. I used to handle my liquor way better,” as he sets the unfinished drink on the table and offers Armand his arm again.

    Armand sits next to him this time, their bodies turned in toward each other as he cradles Daniel’s arm and drinks. The blood gives him a headrush, and he blinks rapidly to attempt to clear his vision. This time he leaves the wound for longer, lets blood drip down toward Daniel’s wrist before he laps it up.

    “Fuck,” Daniel murmurs as he watches. “That’s more like it.”

    Summary

    In which Armand and Daniel finally strip themselves bare. In more ways than one.

    For days, in Dubai, he wanted Daniel’s trembling hands to fist in his hair and tug. The need is even greater now that they are steady.

    Summary

    There's nowhere that Armand can run where Daniel won't find him. Using the Talamasca's information, his own dogged determination, and eternity sprawling ahead of them, Daniel's going to find his maker and figure out why Armand keeps running. When he catches him (and he will), he's going to prove that it's going to be the two of them, forever, and that he's going to love Armand the way no one has before.

    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

    “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

    The story goes like this:
    In 1973, Armand met a beautiful boy and chased him around the world, until the boy finally stopped running and started loving him back.
    In 1985, Armand erased all of the boy's memories, and let him go to live a normal human life.
    In 2022, Armand was desperate and heartbroken enough to bind them together forever.

    That's the story... according to Armand, who can't string three words together without sneaking a gaslighting attempt in.
    So yeah.
    No.

     

    Or: Armand tells Daniel the "truth" about their relationship after '73. Daniel calls bullshit.

    Summary

    Armand adds an unasked-for gift to the terms of Daniel's compensation -- a new start, care of fifty years of his life back and an overly interested vampire who refuses to let Daniel live that new life without him.

    Summary

    “You want the favourite that doesn’t make sense. The one that’s a surprise, the one no sane person should prefer, but here we are anyway. You want to know which of these guys is the sort I know I would be better off without, but can’t stay away from. The one who pulls me in, who horrifies me as much as he fascinates me, who’s a mess but goddamnit, he’s my mess, and that’s why I’d pick him anyway. Is that the favourite you want to know?”
    “Yes,” breathes the talk show host, leaning forward, the spark of true interest lighting up her eyes. Daniel knows his own must glow orange-red under his shades. “Yes!”

    “Armand,” says Daniel, simply. “That’s Armand.”

    Summary

    The droning hum of Louis' boredom is going to drive Armand mad. Instead of accepting it, Armand seeks out the kaleidoscope chaos that is Daniel Molloy's mind to learn why he's so special, so fascinating, so interesting.

    Every city he finds him in, he learns more before he makes Daniel forget. Every city, Armand grows a little more addicted. And every city, Armand does something he's not supposed to do -- falls a little more in love and eager to give Daniel the memories of who they are together.
