Summary
AU after episode 3x03.
"As Dale is about to ask about Lee, Tim says, 'I got your message.'
'My message?'
'The one you left on my answering machine.'
Warm relief is instantly displaced by icy dread. 'Of course,' he says, like he has any idea what Tim is talking about. 'That message.' Dale squeezes his eyes shut, as if that can make whatever this is go away.
'It was kind of you.' That’s good. He didn’t say something irredeemably stupid, then? 'I thought about you, too,' Tim goes on. 'When I was out there.' Dale’s face heats up, the whiplash of emotion causing his stomach to flip anxiously. 'I know you would have loved to be on the ground like that, but I was happy you weren’t.' More silence. Dale has to fill it this time, it’s his turn. He can’t think of a single thing to say. Eventually, Tim takes up the mantle again and says, 'I hear you’re dating Geoff Walters’s daughter.'
'No. Yeah. I…' Dale takes a deep breath. 'It’s complicated.'"
“Always is with you, mate.”

Summary
He’s been back for holidays over the last five years — occasionally; as if he can’t stand the heat of an Australian Christmas, the heat of attention and flashing cameras — darting in and out of Helen’s life, like their now-dead goldfish used to, but never staying long.
Or; Dale returns to Melbourne five years later, but this time he's here to stay. Their relationship, naturally, shifts again.

Summary
...
Post season 3. Helendale. It should be easy, slipping back into this, into one another. And in some ways, it is. But love isn’t just a feeling, it’s something you do. And neither of them has ever done it quite like this before.
...
“Her limbs are still heavy, but she wraps herself around him, and Dale sinks into her hold, his arms pulling her close. She buries her nose in his shirt, tethered by his fingers in her hair, and his scent in her lungs.
She is home in his arms, always was, from the very beginning. She lost sight of that when her fears took over; lost sight of him.
They cling to each other like people who have lost one another—with relief, and a hint of regret.”

Summary
”You’re gonna turn him?” Louis feels a pinch of dread at the thought. If Lestat could have an exact clone of himself as his fledgling, his eternal companion, his lover, wouldn’t he jump at the chance, the fucking brat?
In 1986 in Darwin, Australia, Louis, Lestat, Dale and Tim have a foursome.
That’s it. That’s the plot.

Summary
It is 1986. Louis sees a TV news broadcast while waiting for a connecting flight.
He buys a ticket to Melbourne, intent on asking Lestat what the hell he thinks he's up to pretending to be a news reporter.
Meanwhile, Dale Jennings has no idea what's about to come hurtling through his front door in the middle of the night.
Please note - this story was written and completed before S2 of IWTV aired, so the timeline from The Vampire Chronicles was used and not the new timeline established in the show. [I realise this would be confusing otherwise to anyone starting to read the fic since S2 was shown].

Summary
“You're from another world,” he whispers into his wrist. Dale's fingers play with his chin, outline his moustache with their fingertips, brush his lips like they're something precious.
“You've turned my world upside down.”
“Is that an accusation?”
“It's how I feel,” Dale murmurs toward his collarbones glistening with sweat and rain and chlorine curled in his arms.

Summary
"'I’ll make you a deal,' Tim replies, reckless and stupid. The way he always feels around Dale. 'If they make it legal in our lifetime, and if you haven’t got a partner by then–' Dale snorts at the thought, which proves what Tim always knew, that Dale has no idea how many men and women would slit their wrists to be with him–'Then I’ll find you and propose.'

Summary
Three months of Tim’s crinkled eyed smile, his bare brown shoulders, his curls sliding through Dale’s fingers. Three months of watching Tim’s face while he sleeps next to him. Three months of Tim’s hands on him, of his cock in him, of his mouth searching for Dale’s in the dark quiet of Tim’s bedroom.
Three months, and Tim’s not been to his house yet for more than a very brief five minute stint where he came over after to pick Dale up after work to drive him to his.

Summary
"Tim does a double-take so classic, it belongs in an old film. He’s surprised his eyes don’t actually pop out of his head. Disbelieving, he passes by the aisle, heads down the next one, and loops around to look from the other end. He wasn’t wrong. It’s still Dale Jennings, dressed in shorts and a T-shirt, examining a packet of gravy granules as if it holds the secrets to the universe."
