    Summary

    ”What’s the point of painting someone like this?”

    “What do you mean, beloved?”

    ”She looks like she’s chewing a wasp.”

    “And? What is wrong with that?”

    “It’s unflattering. Unrefined. You’d wonder why he didn’t tell her to, you know, perk up a bit.”

    Armand stifles a laugh with his hand. Daniel glances over at him, and can’t help softly smiling. Preening. He likes that it amuses Armand when he behaves like a philistine.

    ”I still fail to see the problem. There is something to be said for preserving someone in the imperfect stages.”

    Armand can look so tender when he smiles, sometimes. Butter really wouldn’t melt, when he gives Daniel that shy look from under his eyelashes, like they both don’t know what he’s thinking.

    Daniel and Armand, John Singer Sargent, museum visits, companionship, and talking through metaphors.

    Summary

    Facing down the press junket for his book, Daniel Molloy is prepared to hype up his hit novel. He's less prepared to have Armand crash the tour to play bodyguard and doting assistant and he's definitely not ready to have his secrets spilled on a world stage because Armand wants to play games.

    The longer he sticks around to torment Daniel as he chases him across the country, the longer he stays. So, who's really winning this game?

    Summary

    “You’re overthinking it, Mr Molloy. It’s just a transaction. We both know why we are here. And we’re both adults.”

    “Except it’s not just a transaction for me. Christ... It’s a pathetic cry of an old, bitter man. I look at you and all I see is how far I’ve fallen. This is low, even for me. I should be ashamed. My ex-wives would laugh at me if they knew.”

    Armand gets closer to him, unnervingly tranquil and impassive.

    “Are you? Ashamed, Mr Molloy?”

    daniel molloy, freshly divorced, sixty years old, driven to desperation by his loneliness, hires himself a prostitute for the night. things happen.

    Summary

    Rashid had been driving Daniel certifiably fucking crazy. From the very second Rashid arrived at the Dubai International Airport in his low-cut black shirt and iPad tucked under his arm to pick him up in a fancy black car with a fancy driver, Daniel had a bad feeling in his stomach that was, regrettably, accompanied by arousal low in his gut.

    or:

    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

    “Your father should have returned those tapes to the sheriff fifteen years ago. It’s police property,” Hodgson says.
    “Didn’t realize you’d taken a job at the Rock County PD, Detective Hodgson. I thought you were employed here in Portland.” Katie stares at him with blank coldness. “It’s a few miles out of your jurisdiction to be working on Rock County cases.”
    She’s good at her job, Hodgson will give her that. “Why does your old man want the box back? He had plenty of time to publish that book if he wanted to, and meaning no disrespect, he didn’t look to be in book-writing shape when I saw him earlier.”
    Katie’s lip twitches. “He’s in love with the house.”

    True crime author Daniel Molloy's 1998 book on the Somerton Martyrs case was never released, but he stayed in Somerton for decades, living at the site of the crime. Why would anyone want to stay in that haunted house?

    Summary

    “Is this how a top-tier journalist works?” Armand asks, gesturing to the spread before them. Barely legible handwriting on stained pages. A list of names, places.
    “It’s how I work,” Daniel shrugs. “You’re really good at avoiding questions. Not at all like Louis. He was dying to talk my ear off. Guess you must not be the most appealing shoulder to cry on.”
    Armand can’t help but to smile. “And you certainly love to ask questions, don't you?"
    --
    Dinner, after a divorce. Memories, after amnesia.

    Summary

    Daniel’s always known he’ll die alone. The last few years, he’s tried to accept the fact that his death won’t have any dignity to it. He pictured it happening in a hospital bed, or on his couch, toppled over on the street — not writhing on concrete floor, bitten, drained, thrown away like a kid’s juice box. Fifty years since Divisadero and Armand ended up killing him after all, but this time he won’t so much as give him the courtesy to watch it happen.

    And just when Daniel figured this to be Armand’s version of a hit and run, he comes back.

    Or: Daniel’s turning in The devil and his minion, but in Dubai, with a different child, a different Armand, a different Daniel, and different motives.

    Summary

    Even back in wondrous Venice, they kept it shrouded in secrecy. Tell no one you are mine. How different would it be now? Back then, the crimson curtains were always drawn, timbre doors shut, any gossip instantly quelled. Marius had thought naively that no one had dared to speak about their closeness, but there were timorous, obtuse whispers, of course. Bianca’s amused smile as she had told him once, everyone knows you are his lover. Hushed murmurs by the barely-lit room, you are for me, tell no soul, and Armand’s distant, downcast smile as he had uttered back, have I ever told anyone, Master? He ponders to himself sadly now, that there will never exist a world that shall not look down on them. There shall never exist a utopian world where they could remain like this, for all eternity. It shall always remain a subject of judgment, prattle and opprobrious stares. He muses dejectedly, that, perhaps it is their curse, that no matter which century they shall find themselves in, they will always keep their intimacies secluded. Away from the probing, scrutinising eyes.

    their inevitable, pain-laden reunion.

    Summary

    The odyssey of recollection. Daniel had been rather proud of that line at the time. Now he knows it’s just a fancy phrase for what actually happened: My demon ex-boyfriend wrote himself out of our love story and didn’t hire an editor.

    Doesn’t really have the same ring to it.

    Or: Daniel remembers that love is one hell of a drug.

    “Yes. Marius de Romanus.”

    “Out of all the names you could have gone with, you chose his?”

    Armand was dumped by his husband of 70 years. Worse still, he made his first fledgling - out of a man who doesn't remember their shared past.

    Daniel Molloy was made a vampire. Then his maker disappeared. He's going to find him no matter what it takes.

    An expansion to the two honeymoons which I wrote and then I needed to know what happened next (and before). Blood and murder and sex and angst and some comfort and an unapologetic amount of flashbacks ensue.

    So, Louis has managed to turn Daniel’s vampirism into yet another thing he can feel guilty about. Daniel loves the guy, but God, he’s such a Catholic. Whatever. Louis doesn’t know shit.

    Summary

    Armand is perfectly aware that he's ruined Daniel for any chance at a normal life. The boy is turning thirty years old soon—a mere child, of course, but not in the eyes of a mortal. He tries not to dwell on it. A boy as fascinating as Daniel doesn’t want the things society tells him he should be thinking about at his age—a wife, children, the dream of conformity and suburbia that compels this infant country.

    Yet, as Daniel drags him to the bedroom and falls asleep, he can’t help but think.

    Or: Armand wants to be Daniel's nightmare Stepford wife. It's mostly a sex thing.

    Summary

    “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.

    “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.”
