Say No To This by JodyJuliana
Fandoms: Anne Rice's Talamasca: The Secret Order (TV 2025)
21 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
As an operative for Talamasca, Guy keeps meeting Jasper, a vampire whose hatred for the Talamasca is entirely warranted.
Despite their inherent conflict, a dangerous spark ignites between them, ensuring that their every meeting ends the same way: with their bodies entwined, his flesh pierced by fangs. Each time, Guy promises himself it's the last one; a declaration he’s made so often it’s less a promise and more of a habit now.
He ought to despise and fear Jasper. He understands this. And he knows Jasper has all the reasons to despise him. Thus, every meeting brings him this chilling thought that tonight, he will take his life after all. And yet, his heart stubbornly keeps beating.
The reason behind it eludes him.

Summary
He can feel him before he sees him, like a thumb pressed to the inside of his skull, the soft scrape of a familiar mind against his. One life, Jasper thinks, and look at the mess we’ve made of it.
Neither of them move. Jasper has the ridiculous thought to pinch himself, see if he’s not transparent, as if he’s a projection illuminated only by want. Guy is thinner than he remembers. His hair is shorter (curious, that), shadows under his eyes darker than they used to be. He looks sharper. He’s focused, more precise, whittled after the year-or-so that he’s probably been on the run. Jasper is aware of the exact distance between them, the corridor of it; the want is suddenly almost audible, a roar in his ears, a string stretched between them.
—
Jasper's free, Guy is God-knows where. They should probably never speak again, but they do.

Summary
“You could leave the Talamasca any time you want. You can come with me right now, it could be us together like it should’ve been in the first place. I’ve told you that—”
“With you?” Guy laughs. And the thought you tried to kill me yourself crosses his mind, because of course it does and maybe it always will, and he knows Jasper is expecting him to voice it. But they’ve already fought about it, haven’t they? And it’s not what’s really concerning Guy right now. “From what I can see, you can’t even protect yourself.”
Post-season 1, after Jasper escapes Amsterdam and Guy is dragged back into the Talamasca, they continue to meet in secret when they can.

The thing about Danny Molloy is that watching someone burn alive in front of him doesn’t make him stop smoking. It just makes him bad at it.

Summary
When Thomas Lawrence came by the papal apartments that evening, he came, unsurprisingly, with a bundle of papers under his arm.
Vincent tried on and discarded four separate teasing comments about it, but didn’t get to decide on one before Thomas silently handed them over, and he realized they were newspapers, opened and refolded over the weekly comics, his favorite. Three of them, one for each week he’d been away.
Ah, he thought, with the feeling of a sudden hard deceleration in his chest, the press it put on his heart. Ah. All right then.

Summary
True to the name of his papacy, Vincent Benítez is untainted, noble. He is not the ocean, but the river. A river that does not surge or waver, but persists to flow in its chosen direction, determinedly. Unlike the ocean, that fickle, turbulent goddess of Fortuna, he will do his duties and meet his due.
But when Pope Innocent shines, into which shadow does the man Vincent Benítez hide?
If it means he may comfort the loneliness of the river, it wouldn't be so bad to drown in it, Thomas thinks.
(Thomas is drowning in his newfound love for Vincent, while Vincent is drowning in the loneliness of his position. They find each other—they drown together.)

Summary
Thomas Lawrence experiences a hunger he's never felt before, in the months following the ascension of Pope Innocent XIV. It haunts him in his dreams, tempting him to sacrilege, until he learns that perhaps this feeling was not as dark as he thought it was.
An experimental piece featuring cannibalism as a metaphor for love and devotion, and the horror of owning a uterus and becoming the Supreme Pontiff of one of the world's oldest religions.

Summary

Vincent has been calling out for him.

Summary
They'd had a horrible fight. Daniel, dejected and angry that Armand refused to give him the Dark Gift, stormed out, intending to blow off some steam until he was desperate enough to ask Armand to come get him. Instead, he found himself in the weirdest place, with a bunch of French vampires and an Armand that didn't know him.
Or: a study in loneliness.

Summary
This is bullshit. Daniel has spent two years persistently dialling Armand’s mental phone number in the vampire psychic network, and after two years of getting the equivalent of ‘the number you’re trying to reach no longer exists,’ he bumps into his maker in a dinky little repair shop. In Canada. Smelling like—this is where Daniel must be going crazy, because Armand smelled like a human in there. An unremarkable, blood-filled, regular human, with notes of stale sweat and artificial lemon detergent.
Which part of the vampiric telenovela that makes up Daniel’s life is this again?
(OR, the fic where Armand shows up again as a human, but Daniel's still a vampire, and then they do role-reversal Devil's Minion nonsense)

Summary
“It’s cool,” Daniel says. “I can watch Benji and Sybelle.”
He means it to be reassuring, an olive branch. An offer of see, we’re doing better, let me prove it. You can trust me this time.
Daniel doesn't know what he expects. A relieved smile? An anxious shrug? A deluge of excuses about why that wouldn't be possible?
What he isn't expecting is for Armand to go very, very still, and say, “oh, would you now?”
or:
This is not the first time someone has offered to watch Benji and Sybelle. Armand will not fall for the same trick twice.

Summary
“it gives you a certain gravitas,” he explains, and daniel raises his eyebrows as he pulls on his sleep shirt, an old logo with a pyramid prism on it. it’s one of his favourites. armand should probably know that one by now.
“gravitas. huh,” daniel muses, “you big into gravitas, boss? not got enough of your own?”
or
armand is allowed to be treasured and loved because i fucking said so.
