Summary
ISO: Carer to look after my father for 8 weeks this summer.
Dad is 71, early stage Parkinson’s disease, broke his hip 6 weeks ago. No signs of cognitive decline; mostly needs help with household tasks (cooking, light cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping), getting dressed, showering, changing cat litter/general cat care, getting to and from appointments.
Please know what you are getting into; Dad is physically more or less in good health but awful at accepting his limitations, unnecessarily mean, generally uncooperative, and largely nocturnal. Imagine yourself caring for a feral raccoon that is convinced it’s going to write another book, then subtract everything that is cute about raccoons.
$20/hour, roughly 4 hours a day. Must be able to pass a background check and lift 50 lbs. Patience of a saint not required but preferred.- Language:

Summary
‘Oh dear, Mr Molloy, what is this?'
The city lights, blown and slipping in and out of focus above him, streaming in from the broken ceiling of… where was he? Well it didn’t really matter. That was the idea, right? A deep, hot bath of forgetfulness. He wished he could forget those eyes too, the horrific object of his fear and longing, floating above him without a face, a narrowed pair of warm skylights.
‘Next time you want to die, Daniel Molloy, you’ll come to me.’
There was an unspoken ‘or else’ in that satin voice. And then the lights went out.
---
OR; the one in which Daniel tries — and fails — to keep his nose clean and Armand finds new and exciting ways to torture his (did somebody say fascinating?) boy.Bookmarked by AlexanderMccarthy

Summary
It’s starting to feel like this is not just about him feeling sorry for what happened earlier. Daniel says as much aloud, unable to help it even if it might mean shooting himself in the foot. Even if he might risk putting an end to this by giving it name.
“Hmm,” Rashid hums in feigned contemplation as he settles one knee on the bed beside Daniel’s hip. The index finger of his left hand dips underneath the sleeve of the older man’s cardigan. Runs along his pulse point, his veins. “What do you think it’s about, then?”
“No fucking clue,” he replies, his stare dragging up the line of Rashid’s throat, over the curve of his jaw, past his mouth and up to his eyes. The boy isn’t meeting his gaze, his lashes fluttering in the direction of Daniel’s wrist. His lips are parted slightly. He looks—he looks.
He looks horny. Wrecked. Devastatingly pretty.
Rashid huffs an airy laugh. “Liar.”

Summary
Armand walks in still covered in plaster, still wide eyed and looking shaken. He moves slowly, like he’s the one who should be careful towards the intruder in his house.
“You are still here.”
Daniel hums. “Sure am.”

“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
“And you are–,” Armand pauses, as though searching for words. Finally settles on… “Safe.”
The implications in that one word. Daniel’s near certain the kid doesn’t mean safe as in a safe bet, a sure thing. He means that he feels safe. And the fact that the kid is finding safety here of all places– in an old journalist’s arms, in his own professor’s bed, without any defined relationship. Is he speaking about emotional safety? Or is he speaking about physical safety?
Daniel’s afraid it’s the latter.

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 Rashid 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 Rashid, who’s giving him a guarded look. “Wouldn’t mind if it happened again, but that’s at his discretion.”
Louis gives Rashid 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,” Rashid says with quiet urgency, his grasp on Daniel’s shoulder tightening. “He’ll be gone soon enough as it is.”

Summary
“You are taking all of this too much to heart,” Lestat scoffed. “I should not be surprised that Louis’ latest fledgling would have such compassion, but Armand is quite happy with Marius. He saved him, mon ami. Do not fret over him, Daniel. He is right where he wants to be. I swear it.”
Or:
Canon Divergent AU: The Great Conversion is coming. Louis needs more help than just his newest fledgling, Daniel, can offer to get his memoir published. Lestat calls in a favor from an old friend. Daniel didn't have to be one of the best journalists of his generation to see a messed up dynamic between an abuser and his victim.

Summary
***
The driver raises an eyebrow, but says nothing, and starts driving immediately. Leaving Armand behind felt good for a fleeting moment - but because his life is a bad movie, he makes the bad decision of glancing off to the side, and swears he sees him standing on the sidewalk next to his apartment in his long black coat. Then, a city bus passes by, and the next time Daniel gets a glance at the pavement in the rearview mirror, it’s completely empty.
“Eat shit.” Is the only thing he decides to grumble under his breath as the car turns down a busy street, lights blinding him into looking away.
***
Daniel really shouldn't be surprised that Armand follows him even after he leaves Dubai, and really shouldn't be surprised that he decides to follow him across the country either. He also really shouldn't be surprised that Armand has hidden more things from him than he had previously thought.

Summary
Daniel Molloy works as a waitress at a shitty diner in the morning on weekdays and moonlights as a reporter and man in the evenings and on weekends.
Stuck presenting as a woman to keep his day job while he works towards possible transition and making a name for himself in the writing world, he exists on a line between worlds keeping balanced only with the use of alcohol, drugs, and sex.
When the devil himself shows up to help Daniel make all his dreams come true, it might be more than his soul that he has to give up, it seems Armand wants his heart too.

Summary
1990.
Kate stopped at a photo from that year. It was a rehab place. The next photo in the stack was a house in Connecticut.
Her dad went to rehab. Her dad never came home. Her parents split, and Dad got visitation. He took the train in. He was working in New Haven, her mother had said. Leni was a baby.
She was going to pass out.
She dropped the photos onto the table and scrubbed her face with both of her hands to try to ground herself.
“Vampires don’t play with their food for forty-five years. They kill ‘em or they turn ‘em. They don’t…set up house,” She looked down, one of the last photos that had landed face up was her father and some vampire antiquing in Ridgefield.

Summary
For a second, the cool air of the fan hit the skin of his neck like a balm. A shiver ran down his back and Daniel thought it was relief, from the heat, the itchiness, the stares. It was actually the beginning of the end, and Daniel just had no fucking clue.
“What is that?” The voice, his voice, broke the stillness. Cut through it. Swiftly, elegantly, leaving no bloody mess behind. Lestat sounded mocking, sharp, like he'd wanted it to hurt.
“What?” Daniel turned back around to face him; continuing to show him his back, the fragile bend of his neck, felt too dangerous.
“On your neck. What is that on your neck, Daniel?”
__________________________Years after that disastrous interview in San Francisco, Daniel Molloy is working as a music journalist in Los Angeles and is tasked with interviewing rock 'n' roll's newest enfant terrible, Lestat de Lioncourt.
It wouldn't be an issue, if it weren't for the scar on his neck. Two rows of teethmarks, the gnarly outline matching that of Lestat's husband's mouth.
A second chance encounter for Daniel. A second chance at uncovering the dangerous, dark memories he has forgotten, or been made to forget.
