    Summary

    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

    He sees himself as the boy sees him. Blurry, at first. Indistinguishable shapes, separated only by the glow of his eyes.

    And then like a veil lifting, he comes into focus. He becomes resplendent. He becomes ghastly. For some unknown reason, those two things merge into one concept.

    This boy thinks he’s never seen something more aweing. Armand, who kicked him until he cried. Who choked him until his vision went black. Who lifted him in the air, earlier, and threw him to the floor. Again, and again.

    It’s baffling.

    “A complete lack of self-preservation. A perversion towards that which harms you; is that what makes you fascinating?”

    Alternatively: Armand serves six days of penance. Daniel spends six days realizing just how fucked up he really is.

    Summary

    Nearly a year after his unexpected transformation into a vampire, Daniel Molloy is back in New York, taking a break from his documentary on emerging rock sensation The Vampire Lestat. And while Daniel is enjoying most of his new powers, he is finding the Mind Gift... a little difficult to resist.

    Enter Marius de Romanus, the ancient vampire philosopher who offers to guide Daniel through his fledgling journey and to tell him the real story of the Vampire Armand, the Maker who abandoned him. A tempting offer, although Daniel begins to find the line between truth and fiction increasingly difficult to perceive.

    Summary

    Daniel sees life like a river. Thinks he is caught up in a current that only goes one way, that will eventually sweep him out to sea. It’s easier for him to think so. It keeps him alive to think so.

    He doesn’t know that he could stand up and reach the bottom. He doesn’t know he has a choice.


    Drugs don’t work, sex doesn’t work, New York hasn’t worked. Somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains, an improbable number of suicides have taken place. Somewhere in a bar in New York, Daniel hears about them. He wants to fill a void. The difference between what is real and what isn’t matters as little to him as the things he’ll find to throw into the darkness. Which, as it turns out, is quite a lot.

    Summary

    “I take it you haven’t heard from my maker?” He asked, both out loud and on the vampire radio frequency. “Fucking asshole.” He muttered under his breath for good measure, still sore about how Armand had just upped and left him.

    “I’m sorry you were burdened out of spite.”

    Not quite out of spite, but Daniel didn’t say anything. Let Louis think what he wanted of Armand - the less those two had to do with each other, the better. Still, Daniel had hoped that the book tour would have drawn some kind of reaction.

    —————
    OR: The post-season 2, post-turning fic where Daniel uses his investigative skills to track down his maker.

    Summary

    Daniel is sprawled out across the bed, loose-limbed and lazy, somehow filling all the open space it has to offer and leaving Armand to nestle into the gaps. His cheeks are flushed, blood pooling like it knows what comes next. Maybe it does. Armand was reading about classical conditioning the other day. About dogs who become accustomed to getting food when their handler rings a bell.

    Perhaps Daniel is the dog, Armand’s teeth sharp bells reverberating in his veins. Or perhaps Armand is the dog, Daniel’s blood a song rattling in his ears. He has been a dog before. He runs his tongue along the bow of Daniel’s collarbone, gathers the salt-sweat there and imagines what it tastes like because Daniel does.


    Armand remembers he loved Daniel, once, and that Daniel loved him. Or a version of them did, at least. It isn't his intention to go back to that, but it's not not his intention, either. Such is the prerogative of an immortal: to hold two contradicting desires simultaneously. If nothing else, it passes the time while he waits for this miserable interview to end.

    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 said I’m fine, Alice,” Daniel snaps, and time itself grinds to a halt.

    Not literally. Ha. The things you have to specify with vampires. Daniel wishes he could laugh, but the sound is stuck somewhere in his throat, along with his heart. Now, of course, his hand chooses to be perfectly still.

    Why the fuck did he say that?

    Summary

    The Revenge is invaded by a pirate crew whose captain has a deep obsession with Stede Bonnet.

    This is a prompt fill for the following on OFMD kink meme:

    “I love Stede and therefore i want him to suffer. Would love to see Stede get captured by some other ship and be forced to barter for his crew's lives by offering himself up in exchange. Unfortunately, "you can have me instead" has sinister implications. Stede gets assaulted by the guard(s) while his crew is forced to watch. Rescue comes in the form of Blackbeard, and Ed and Stede have to deal with the fallout.”
