Summary
A story takes Daniel to the last place he ever wanted to go to — Wilton, Connecticut. A McCarthy-ist, Manifest Destiny-ism dreamland that once served as inspiration for complacency. It's big on happy families living wonderfully fulfilled lives. It’s gross. It’s far beyond what Daniel has ever wanted for his life. Armand, however, sees it a little differently. So what happens when a glimpse of this life, some recent literature, and a need to give his beloved boy the things he has been deprived of inspire Armand?
Why, it is simply obvious! Armand must oblige his husband's demands. After all, it is every good housewife or househusband’s purpose.
(aka “writer must test out the ‘Armand is the vampire equivalent of a Stepford Wife’ comment usually thrown about Dubai-era Armand but makes it a psychological thriller DM style” aka “fuck it! I’m adding a fourth cake!”)

Summary
Here you are, the three of you. Three people stand before one another in a stone-laced chamber. Three people who served a paternal purpose once in their pasts, in their futures. Three people who have lost that purpose in one way or another. That does not matter at this moment. What matters is what you can get out of this.
(aka “I’ve gotten too obsessed with the Lestat/Armand/Gabi dynamic and realized that they’re all in one way or another complicated parents or parental figures who are grieving or eventually grieve the loss of their children, so here’s an ode to their parenthood in all of its “good” and bad moments”)

Summary
Both sat in silence and held onto each other, swaying from the turn onto E. 104th Street. At least they were over that bridge. Of course, they still had another to go over. Armand turned his head to face Daniel, his left hand leaving their grasp and placing itself on Daniel’s chest. “I just…”
Daniel nodded a little. Okay, travelers, now we’re reaching the second part of our adventure. “Yeah?”
“I… I am worried.”
“What else is new?”
A tsk left Armand’s mouth. Yeah, maybe not the time for snark. Daniel’s voice became small. “Alright, sorry. About?”
He sat momentarily stuck in the silence of the cab. His right hand grazed his lover’s back. A moment. Then another. Finally, Armand opened his mouth. “What if you do not like them?”
