    Summary

    In early spring of 209 AC, on the cusp of his heat, Lyonel Baratheon takes the hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall to his bed. It ought mean nothing. But when Baelor Breakspear survives the Trial of Seven, the hours Lyonel spent with the hedge knight and the babe that comes of them set in motion a cascade of changes that warp the fate of the realm.

    Plague, drought, politics -- Duncan has little opinion on any of them. He only knows that somewhere, at the point where the sky meets the sea, Lyonel is waiting for a true knight to return to him. But to become a man worthy of Lyonel Baratheon requires growth, and the Red Keep is quick to grind its heel upon the unwary.

    Summary

    “You know how long I've wanted to get you both in the same bed? I’m not gonna tell you, it’ll piss you off.”

    “You can join the several hundred other men over the last century who had eyes,” Louis says.

    “It’s not because you're hot,” Daniel says. “I mean, yes, but not - shut up, stop fishing.”

    “Stop letting me bait you.”

    Daniel kisses him, nibbles at his lip. Smiles and kisses him again, slow and soothing, the same mouth that does large predator maneuvers on all the sexy parts of Louis’ body. He kisses Louis’ cheek, his jaw, his lips again. Stays close when he's done.

    “What you were saying, before,” Daniel says, Louis’ eyes full of his lovely face, his waist in the periphery with Armand's hands petting along his ribcage. “It's so stupid, it’s - I think about it. If both of you made me together. But that's not actually a thing, is it? Two makers.”

    Then Louis dips the tip of his claws into the tender meat of Rashid’s thighs, and his head whips around to face it. “Maybe I should beat you here, next,” Louis says, scratching his claws lightly down Rashid’s thighs. “See if you keep up the attitude.”

    Summary

    At the entrance, straight and symmetrically framed by the wide door, like a statue of a minor god between columns in a Greek temple, stands a man wearing beige linen, leather shoes and a serene and impenetrable smile on his lips. His long blond hair is tied back, and, upon seeing Armand, he opens his arms in a welcoming gesture.

    “I have been waiting for you, Amadeo.”

    OR: Armand finds out Marius is alive and goes back to him. However, things do not feel the same anymore.

    Summary

    “Lestat,” says Daniel, “are you inviting me on a five-month-long European playdate with your husband?”

    “If that is what will get you to accept,” says Lestat, “then yes.”

    “What are you actually up to?” asks Daniel. He’s young, in vampiric terms anyway, but he was not born yesterday.

    “Me? Up to something? Please, Daniel. What do you take me for?”

    Summary

    “Danny, did you hear me?” Armand asks sternly. “You’re late again. You were to come straight home after school.”

    School…

    Oh.

    It’s like that.

    Okay. Jesus. Yes.

    In which Daniel comes back from a hunt to find Armand in full strict 1950s mom mode (and immediately gets so horny his brain falls out through his dick).

    Summary

    As he rifles through the new goods– a pack of cigs, some old cologne, necklaces, silk shirts, tight pants, big amber shades– a note flutters out from underneath an ascot. The cursive ink lists an address and the words ‘Do your worst.’

    In which Daniel is given full jurisdiction to be a 70s sleazebag.

    UPDATE: Now with links to the GORGEOUS art from both haflacky and ladyofthecreeddraws on Tumblr!!

    Summary

    “Really?” Daniel says. His brain is reeling off all the reasons this is a bad idea, like a news station ticker. Louis is going to see Daniel killing a guy. He’s going to see that Daniel likes doing that. He’s going to see that if Daniel doesn’t do that on demand, his body unionises against his mind, downs tools, forms a picket line, and says no dice until our demands are met. “What about … I mean, fair warning, this will not be a little drink.”

    Four days after the interview: Daniel's navigating a new species and a body that still won't quite do as it's told. Louis is navigating a few changes of his own. And then what?

    Summary

    Gabrielle’s gaze meets his with a flicker of intensity, and, God, Lestat can’t believe there was ever a time he resented her. Gabrielle with her hands clasped at her sides, lips half parted, eyes glittering. Gabrielle, showing him just how many different ways she can make him doubt himself. Gabrielle, Gabrielle.
    or
    Before anyone becomes a vampire, desperate for attention, Lestat spends the morning with his mother who tries to make up for neglecting him in a slightly misguided way.

    Summary

    A young woman stands in her bedroom. Today is not her birthday, but even if it was, she would be a little too old to need it marked with presents, cakes, or other childish things. What she does need, as a savvy sophisticate poised at the precipice of personhood, is a name.

    What will this young woman’s name be?

    Summary

    ‘Okay. Let’s start here,’ he says, folding himself down next to her on the bench. ‘I was a twenty year old idiot when I became aware of the existence of vampires.’ God, he hopes she’ll read Interview. Hopes she’ll still have some level of charitable feeling towards him by the time it’s all done and published.

    ’So, what, you fucked one? It went badly?’

    ‘I thought I was gonna fuck a guy who thought he was one. I went back to his place and honest to god interviewed him instead. With my little tape recorder, remember that? And then. Well, then his boyfriend showed up.’

    ‘Oh my god.’ There it is. If anything’s going to sell her on this, it’s that this is all exactly the kind of shit that the boy she used to know would have gotten into.

    ‘Said boyfriend was, ah, displeased, to put it mildly? I nearly died twice that week. They both had a bite. Neither of them did what I actually wished they would.’

    ‘…Which is fuck you.’

    ‘Eh, well. You should’ve seen these guys.’

    Summary

    Armand's feelings upon dreams have always been this: what story is the hidden part of you shouting into your ear? Fears and desires often make themselves known most freely when cloaked in some lurid disguise. This was the old premise of the Théâtre des Vampires: we, the monsters lurking in the shadows of your minds, show you to yourselves.

     

    If Daniel is the monster of his heart, what story is he trying to tell himself?

     

    As Louis' interview unfolds, Armand finds himself dreaming of past disaster, of imagined catastrophe and of a love affair he cannot remember —and finds himself asking questions he may not want answered.

    “No more doctor’s appointments,” he says to Armand, who’s perched in one of Daniel’s squashy armchairs, scrolling listlessly on his iPad. “But maybe we should book you in with one. When’s the last time you had a prostate exam?”

    “Ha,” says Armand, without looking up. “Why, are you offering?”

    Or: when Daniel gets turned into a vampire, Armand gets turned back into a human. It’s not going well.

    Summary

    Nearly a year after his unexpected transformation into a vampire, Daniel Molloy is back in New York, taking a break from his documentary on emerging rock sensation The Vampire Lestat. And while Daniel is enjoying most of his new powers, he is finding the Mind Gift... a little difficult to resist.

    Enter Marius de Romanus, the ancient vampire philosopher who offers to guide Daniel through his fledgling journey and to tell him the real story of the Vampire Armand, the Maker who abandoned him. A tempting offer, although Daniel begins to find the line between truth and fiction increasingly difficult to perceive.

    Summary

    “So, did you enjoy the show?” The Vampire Lestat asks, hands planted on her narrow hips. She curls her manicured claws into the leather pants slung low on her waist and smiles wild-eyed at Louis. She’s panting with over-exertion, glistening with a sheen of blood-sweat. She looks, as Louis always thinks she looks, like the most beautiful creature in the world.

    “I loved your show,” Louis confirms immediately, a smile tugging at his mouth as he tries to downplay his overwhelming fondness for her.

    Summary

    Who of us had not loved something or somebody? How much did these feelings, these loves, these worships, have to do with pure reason? Little or nothing, we saw at last. Were not these things the tissue out of which our lives were constructed? Did not these feelings, after all, determine the course of our existence? It was impossible to say we had no capacity for faith, or love, or worship. In one form or another we had been living by faith and little else.

    from The Big Book by William G. Wilson and Robert H. Smith, Chapter 4: We Agnostics

    Armand and Daniel on living by more than faith.

    Summary

    “I’m not trying to clean up any mess,” says Louis, so sincerely that Daniel almost believes him. “Frankly, you’ve done better than anyone could have been expected to, under the circumstances or otherwise. I’m offering because I care for you, Daniel, and because you should have had more support from the beginning, and this is an unfair way for anyone to enter into undeath.” And, he adds, in a thought hardly louder than a whisper, if it should have been me, then at least let me — help out, now. I can’t undo the past. But I can do this.

    “I don’t want to be your — your charity case,” says Daniel, out loud. I don’t need your fucking pity.

    Louis looks at him for a long moment. Daniel, if you think pity is what I am feeling for you, maybe you do need my help after all.

    Summary

    “You good over there?” Daniel asks. A conversation will at least be a good distraction from the building pressure in his lower abdomen, and now he’s got something else to focus on: the beautiful, eldritch, eternal mystery that he, somehow, has ended up in bed with. He’s never mad about getting to think about Armand.

    “Yes, all is well,” says Armand, and there’s a weird, distant note in his voice that says he’s not all the way focused on what he's saying.

    “You sure? You sound a little, I dunno, far away.”

    “On the contrary,” Armand says, “I can assure you that I am extremely present.” He glances sideways at Daniel, amber eyes almost glowing in the low light of the street lamps, and says, perfectly innocently, “And you? Is all well with you, beloved?”
