Reparenting Your Younger Selves: A Guide For Vampires by Flyting

Summary
Daniel gives himself a moment to digest everything.
Two extra copies of Armand. One wearing tights and screaming in Italian – or whatever dialect they spoke in sixteenth-century Venice – and one that looked like he just crawled out of a French sewer.
“So this is what you were trying to hide from me? You, what -- accidentally Boys From Brazil’d yourself?”
Armand turns to look at him. He’s got that cute little frown line between his eyebrows, the one he gets when he’s so distracted trying to figure something out that he forgets to care about how his face looks.
“You are not taking this the way I anticipated.”
Or: Daniel and Armand... and Arun, and Amadeo, and Armand (Gremlin).

Summary
“I do not expect forgiveness,” Armand said so meekly, and Lestat laughed at him again.
“You do, of course you do. Fifty years from now, a century, it does not matter, but you expect him to see how nicely you’ve been waiting, how penitent you are, how deep the bruises on your knees are from kneeling, and you expect him to count himself lucky to inspire such devotion in one such as you.”
Armand’s wide eyes narrowed. “And what of you?” he snapped. “You think he’s forgiven you?”
Lestat sobered, and reached out to touch Armand’s sleeve. “Of course not. Of course he hasn’t. Of course he won’t. Forgiving me would be like forgiving himself, and we both know he’ll never do that. Mon cher petit diable, you can’t only exist for the dream of Louis.”
/
Armand and Lestat find themselves in an uneasy alliance over a shared and devastating experience - fumbling Louis de Pointe du Lac.

Summary
My estrangement, exacerbated by company
-Mirza Sa'eb Tabrizi"Louis, who is currently off somewhere partying with men who look like him and speak like him and share the same collective memory, does not understand yet. It is Armand’s duty to guide him into the desolate horizons of vampiric existence, but too much remains of Louis’ era for him to fully understand why he needs Armand to survive its absence, whenever it will ineluctably come, however long it takes."

Bookmarker's Notes
(Arman could also mean grief, sorrow, regret. It was not always good to long for something.)
Ya Allah, he thinks, why do You love me? What for?
(“Do you know how hard it is to re-learn a language someone went into your head and made you forget? Every word is a war.”)
Hes not like me. Im a monster. Hes a monster too but difrent. better. he wanted me to be better. he never left me when

(He’s already said this, he thinks. His spine puts itself together, of course. In time everything becomes whole again. Well, most things, anyway. What he means is this: he saw the files on the portable computer Daniel had brought into their home, Armand Amadeo Arun to Marius de Romanus and back to Arun Amadeo Armand again. He hadn’t realized his mind would work independent of his body.)
And now who is he going to kiss the knees of? The ankles? Or the elbow. All these joints where things bend so easily.
(...when he wakes Daniel is there, and his master is there, and the floor is there, and the walls, too, and the spine, the broken one, yes. The ghost and the fledgling and the fledgling of the fledgling.)
