  2. Summary

    This will be a series full of Elisabeth-related stories, about Elisabeth herself, Rudolf, other characters from the Musical and the life of the historical figure.
    A lot of Death. And more Death. Did I mention Death?
    Some works will be crossovers with other Musicals, mostly Tanz der Vampire.
    Originally the oneshots were written by me in German, but I wanted to translate (and polish) them.

    Summary

    Two centuries later, they meet again. Not as composer and rival, but as two musicians who waited too long to understand each other.

    A soft ending for Mozart and Salieri not lovers, not enemies, just two stubborn souls who finally made peace.

    Summary

    Rudolf hat sich endgültig in die Arme des Todes ergeben und den Abzug gedrückt. Doch was passiert nun? Gibt es ein Leben nach dem Tod? Was hiervon Traum und Nachtgespinst oder doch reine Wahrheit ist, vermag Rudolf nicht zu sagen. Als er sich jedoch wieder im Bann des schönen Fremden findet, will er ihm nicht entfliehen. Zu tröstlich ist seine Umarmung, zu verheißungsvoll seine Berührung. Losgelöst von aller Last begegnen sie sich in den Schatten der Ewigkeit ...

    Summary

    “Of course he hated his body; not only could he not look into his mirror without shame at the feral eyes staring back at him, no, it would betray him, shift and change and twist during every full moon, ripping apart his already shattered sense of self with its claws. But the hunger for flesh, the exhaustion, the natural isolation his condition brought wasn’t enough, no, God had to send a man to Vienna who only made all of those feelings worse.

    And of course Mozart loved himself; he was forever young, always free to look ethereally beautiful and perfect, throw his head back and bare his fangs in that screeching, gratingly recognizable cackle. He could dress himself in finery and not worry about ailments, sleep, food. He could focus on his work, compose and write and play, while Salieri drowned in his self-hatred.”

    Summary

    Louis is keeping him at an arm's length, saying he’s still not sure if he wants to go beyond friends with benefits.
    Daniel is carelessly dredging up his unpleasant past with his insistent questions.
    The world is judging his every move, his mother is still hiding, his job is demanding, and Lestat is so fucking tired.
    He just wants happiness to come easily, for once in his life.

    Enter Armand.
    Still obsessed and still in love but wiser and slightly less unhinged. Determined to prove Lestat that he’s the only one who can love him the way he craves. That it was always supposed to be them.

    Summary

    IN A WORLD...
    where Louis and Armand are billionaires- no, sorry- multi millionaires in bad need of a new houseboy; in walks Daniel Molloy who's boyish charm wins him the position despite a somewhat eyebrow-raising resume. Because, above all, Louis and Armand are philanthropists, and giving a hand up to a struggling young man pursuing a career in journalism is practically worthy of a tax write-off, right? But what Daniel doesn't know is that this job comes with a few perks. He's only got one question...

    Does this job qualify for hazard pay?
