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
"Happy birthday!" Daniel croons, his grin hooking his mouth wide, eyes bright and glowing with pleasure between dark eyelashes.
He holds out a small packet, haphazardly wrapped in colourful paper; a hint of pink dusts his cheeks, his heartbeat quickened with excitement and nerves; he smells sweet with it.
Slowly, Armand takes the packet from him; it's light, and when he turns it over in his hands, it emits a quiet, gentle rattle.
"Okay, birthday tutorial: at this point, we usually say 'thank you'."
Or: Daniel Molloy and the many birthdays of the vampire Armand, across decades.

Summary
“The vampire Armand,” Daniel said slowly, the headline writing itself in his mind, “in love with a mortal. Now that’s a story I’m interested in.”
The gaze that met his was no longer wounded, but predatory-cold. “You’re a vulture, aren’t you?” Armand said, the words soft as a blade being drawn from silk. “Picking at every scrap of exposed flesh.”
Daniel held the gaze, refusing to flinch. He’d been called worse. “It’s the job. You started talking out of your own free will. You don’t get to be offended when I look for the cracks in the narrative.”
~~~
After a brutal interview session leaves Daniel feeling flayed open, his most painful memory weaponized against him the moment he got a little too smart-mouthed, he has a bizarre conversation with the Vampire Armand about love, loss and nailclippers. His life couldn’t possibly get any weirder.Series

Summary
l'appel du vide
lit. "Call of the void"; used to refer to intellectual suicidal thoughts, or the urge to engage in self-destructive (suicidal) behaviors during everyday life. Examples include thinking about swerving in to the opposite lane while driving, or feeling the urge to jump off a cliff edge while standing on it. These thoughts are not accompanied by emotional distress."And you wanna save me again."
"And I want..." a stutter, unused to the honestly of his own want, "You to live."
If he's really honest with himself, so does Daniel. Survival is ingrained at a cellular level. Suicides changing their mind halfway down the building. But it's not too late for him yet.
"Okay," he sighs out. Ceding the conversation, but still determined to have the last word. "Fine, sure, let's go. Let's make me a vampire."
