    Summary

    A message from Wilhelm, one that brings his heart rate back up: Everyone is fine. Call me first. DON’T go on the internet

    The call connects. “Wille?”

    “Hi, sweetheart, I’m almost there. Just wait for me,” Wilhelm says.

    “Wait, I don’t… what happened?”

    There’s a moment of silence.

    “There’s a news story,” Wilhelm says. Simon’s hand tightens on the phone. “They found out August took the video.” Fuck. How? It’s been ten years. The story didn’t die, because the story never dies, it lingers in the cultural consciousness and pops up like a beach ball whenever someone needs an object lesson to support their crusade. Their tape has been cited in tightening online privacy laws, in denying ISPs neutrality on delivering internet access, in debates on influencer families and the ethics of famous children.

    Somehow, despite that, he didn't think the truth would get out.

    ---

    This fic is in a shared universe and stands alone.

    Summary

    Nicolò looks sheepish. "I killed you yesterday, and you awoke at the same time, the same place. But when I die, I wake at different times, different places. This bolt," he tosses it to Yusuf and it lands in the dirt by his knee, "it killed me yesterday, but I woke up many years from now. I lived several lifetimes in those places before returning here and pulling it from my neck."

     

     

    Nicky's lives and deaths are different. He is unstuck from time - at every death he revives into a different point in his life. Each time he is struck down he wonders, will he awaken to deserts and swords? Will it be gunshots in cities? Joe and Nicky build a fractured life together, falling in love across two different sets of centuries, then patiently waiting for the other to fall in love too. He meets the rest of their little family out of order, but they still build a family around Nicky's involuntary time-traveling.

    Summary

    "I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham."

    "This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?"

    "Except we're not friends. We're actually very much not friends." Daniel shrugs, as if it's all the same to him. "And I can't imagine the great vampire Armand deigning himself to sleep on my fucked-up sofa. That thing's been here since the nineties."

    "Well," Armand only says. "I saw you have a guest bedroom."

    Summary

    "I saved your life, and you repay me, how? By chasing death once again? I might consider this an insult.”

    “It’s you, all of you, who don’t understand.” Daniel replied, through gritted teeth. “My life was over when I met him.”

    Pre-show account of the maladaptive adventures of Daniel and Armand. Or, Armand falls in love and Daniel pays the price.
