    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.
    (Updates on Wednesdays and Sundays.)

    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."

    Summary

    “You feel… Um. We’re too far apart, I think,” Henry muttered, and if Hans had felt any less out of his depth, he would’ve commented sarcastically on the other man’s eloquence. Before he could even begin to think of what to say instead, his squire pushed himself up and strode to his side of the room, footsteps laden with fatigue. Unconsciously, Hans pressed his back against the wall to make space.

    -

    Hans and Henry navigate their first night after the siege of Suchdol, with no adrenaline to spur them on this time.

    Summary

    “Your girl… she didn’t survive the attack, right?” Henry nods. “I’m… sorry. Were you serious about each other?”

    Henry shrugs. “As serious as two young people that haven’t known any sorrow are. We haven’t thought about what we want after, haven’t thought about future at all. But we were sweet on each other and spent a lot of time together. It was… I’m glad I experienced that before the peaceful part of my life was over.”

    Or, how women in Henry's life shaped his mind and heart, and how Hans was there at the very end.

    Summary

    “Eddie, you’re scaring me,” Buck says in the quiet of the room. “Do you-- do you know what day it is?”

    “Friday,” Eddie answers, tongue thick like his throat is stuffed with cotton.

    “Yeah,” Buck confirms. “And-- do you know my full name?”

    Eddie swallows. “Evan Buckley,” he says definitively, but--

    He finally turns to look at Buck’s face, and it’s like he’s waiting for Eddie to keep going. Like Eddie had gotten it wrong. Buck’s face melts, his brows pinched together, and Eddie--

    He doesn’t know what the hell is going on.

    -----

    Eddie loves every version of Buck. And Buck? Well, he’s starting to realize every version of Buck loves him right back. If only Eddie could get back home to tell him that.

    Summary

    "You look exactly the same," Eddie says with tears in his eyes. "How is that even possible?"

    "I don't know," Buck says, his thumb swiping across Eddie's knuckles. "I don't understand it."
    He may be the same, but looking at Eddie, Buck can see the years on him. His hair is a bit different, the creases by the corners of his eyes just a bit deeper. There's a new scar on his right hand that Buck hasn't seen before.

    He'd know these hands blind, but it takes him a moment to notice it still. His fingers brush over it once, and then again before he actually looks down and sees the thin golden band wrapped around Eddie's ring finger. Then he just—stares at it, stupidly, for a second. Before Eddie pulls his hands back, and leaves Buck's hanging empty in the space between them.

    "You're married," he says.

    Summary

    The memories aren’t fully fleshed out, only flashes of places, people, and feelings. Sometimes they’re tangible, so much so he feels like he can reach it within his fingertips and hold them there.

    He’d be washing dishes, and he’d feel the phantom arms of Eddie around his waist, the junction of his neck and shoulder feeling warm. For a flash, he’d see a different kitchen than the one he was in. He’d be looking at a menu in a restaurant, and he thinks he’d hear Eddie’s voice asking, ‘You gonna order the usual?’ When he glances down at the table, he’d be surprised he’s not seeing a deep green tablecloth. He’d doze off on the couch and feel his cheek land on Eddie’s chest, arms wrapping around him, and he’d open his eyes to find himself alone.

    How do you explain that away? Missing something you can’t fully remember having?

    =

    Or, Evan Buckley wakes up without eight years of his memories with some guy named Eddie Diaz on his bedside. Which could mean nothing.
