    Summary

    “It was a career-ending injury!” Wylan snaps. “What else is there to say? Are you trying to make fun of me?”

    Jesper recoils. “No! Saints, no, Wylan. That’s awful, I would never!”

    “You made fun of me for just about everything else.”

    “Well, that’s because I didn’t like you very much. I still don’t,” Jesper says bluntly. Wylan’s glare intensifies and Jesper hastens to add on, “But I don’t hate you!”

    -

    Seven years ago, Jesper Fahey was the up-and-coming rising star of the tennis world. The only person really in his way seemed to be the rich and haughty (and maybe, handsome) darling of Kerch tennis, Wylan Van Eck. But that was seven years ago, and after their match in Ravka—everything changed. Now, for the first time, they meet each other again.

    Summary

    'I think about it, cracking open your chest...'

    The body of the voice is on top of him, thrusting into him, pulling its pleasure out of Daniel so thoroughly he chokes on it. The voice speaks again but the body's mouth doesn't move.

    '...holding your beating heart between my fingers, drinking you right from the source.'

    Daniel moans and grinds down helplessly. The voice continues, 'I could read the name that's written there, across the muscle, wet and pulsing between my fingers... who's name, Daniel?'

    -

    Daniel continues to be haunted by resurfacing memories of his past with Armand. He 's desperate for answers and his lost memories, and cursed to follow breadcrumbs until he finds them.

    Summary

    “Petra tou Romiou, huh? Didn’t figure you one for tourist traps,” Daniel offers into the night air.

    "They say that Venus, Aphrodite, whichever name you know her by, emerged from the sea foam here. She was never a baby, or a child, she emerged beautiful, with love and lust and desire following behind her,” Armand recounts.

    “Yeah, this is her rock we’re sitting on, apparently," Daniel agrees non-committedly. "Cut the bullshit, we need to talk.”

    Armand says nothing. Continues staring out at the ocean.

    “Look at me,” Daniel hisses.

    Armand turns to face him, and the breath is punched out of his chest.

    Seeing him again, in the flesh, beautiful and inhuman, Daniel is forced to remember that this is not just another story he has been chasing. There is no book at the end of this year's long line of inquiry, no documentary or Pulitzer-winning article. No professional detachment. There is just this—two monsters on a beach and a horrible amalgamation of emotions that fill Daniel’s rotted heart and scarred throat.

    Summary

    IN A WORLD...
    where Louis and Armand are billionaires- no, sorry- multi millionaires in bad need of a new houseboy; in walks Daniel Molloy who's boyish charm wins him the position despite a somewhat eyebrow-raising resume. Because, above all, Louis and Armand are philanthropists, and giving a hand up to a struggling young man pursuing a career in journalism is practically worthy of a tax write-off, right? But what Daniel doesn't know is that this job comes with a few perks. He's only got one question...

    Does this job qualify for hazard pay?

    Summary

    "Holy shit," Rashid muttered. "No way this is for real."

    "I mean, you think it might be a bit?"

    "Or some kind of performance art," Rashid suggested.

    "Performance art around here?" Daniel scoffed. "Not likely."

    "That's a considerable amount of money. How personal do you think these 'increasingly personal' questions get?"

    "Who cares! Five grand? To eat spicy food and tell some stranger about the first time you noticed your mom had a bush while you were in the shower together?"

    Rashid glanced up at him. "What?"

    "Nothing. Nevermind." Daniel folded the flyer into a neat rectangle and shoved it into his pocket wholesale. "There's no good spicy food around here. Fucking mayo-ville."

    OR:
    Daniel Molloy is starving for his art and in desperate need of quick cash to make rent. But just how hungry is he?

    Summary

    Daniel drinks another martini and a half, says, “You’re lucky I’m on blood thinners. I used to handle my liquor way better,” as he sets the unfinished drink on the table and offers Armand his arm again.

    Armand sits next to him this time, their bodies turned in toward each other as he cradles Daniel’s arm and drinks. The blood gives him a headrush, and he blinks rapidly to attempt to clear his vision. This time he leaves the wound for longer, lets blood drip down toward Daniel’s wrist before he laps it up.

    “Fuck,” Daniel murmurs as he watches. “That’s more like it.”

    Summary

    I’ve lost my mind, Daniel thinks, still lavishing kisses to the chest of the creature that killed him. He says the next part out loud: “I fucking hate you. And you hate me. So something is making us do this.”

    “I don’t hate you,” Armand pants. “You mean nothing to me. Don't stop.”

    Summary

    When Louis brought Daniel Molloy into their shared home some months ago, Armand wasn't particularly keen, but he still welcomed the novelty. And, from the moment the reporter showed Louis his scar and pressed play on a previously-prepared tape-player, Armand knew they were going to have some fun with him. Yes, he'd thought then, Molloy would be fun to toy with, and fun to kill.

    Or, after a months-long chase, Armand finally pounces on his prey.

    Summary

    "Please don't tell me Louis dumped you and now you're fucking with my work to get back at him."

    Armand blinks. He appears confused by the notion, the same way Louis looked puzzled when Daniel called Armand his boyfriend. Maybe, Daniel thinks as he watches a minute frown appear on Armand's brow, a little annoyed as well. "You insist on judging us by mortal standards. Louis has been my companion for seventy years, and we have eternity to look forward to."

    "If he used the words I need some space, that means he dumped you. You can ask Reddit if you don't trust me."

    After a month in Dubai, Daniel Molloy is back home and miraculously alive, eager to get to work on his first draft. The vampire Armand has other plans.

    Summary

    Who of us had not loved something or somebody? How much did these feelings, these loves, these worships, have to do with pure reason? Little or nothing, we saw at last. Were not these things the tissue out of which our lives were constructed? Did not these feelings, after all, determine the course of our existence? It was impossible to say we had no capacity for faith, or love, or worship. In one form or another we had been living by faith and little else.

    from The Big Book by William G. Wilson and Robert H. Smith, Chapter 4: We Agnostics

    Armand and Daniel on living by more than faith.

    Summary

    Daniel is half-drunk and, as he is most of the time, unpleasant. These are important facts. The other important facts are as follows: Daniel is three years away from sixty. Daniel’s second marriage officially ended seven months ago, though she moved out two years ago. The divorce took a long time because he was dragging his feet on signing the papers. He doesn’t know why he dragged his feet for a whole fourteen-and-a-half months. He told his wife and her lawyers and his lawyers it was because he was too bogged down in preparing this memoir to give a shit about some paperwork. He is so fucking tired of getting divorced. He’s decided, officially, that he’s not ever going to get married again, even if it means he doesn’t get laid for the rest of his life. If needs must, he’ll buy a fleshlight.
    _____

    New York, 2010. Daniel celebrates the release of his memoir with an old friend.

    Summary

    "I could not stay away from Daniel entirely. Once or twice a year after I took his memories from him and released him like some half-rehabilitated bird back into the world, I would break down and find him wherever he was living, haunting the peripheral shadows of his life for a few nights until I had learned all I could learn about him."

    OR, Armand breaks into Daniel's house the Christmas Eve after their epic breakup to snoop and hurt his own feelings. Daniel does not sleep through this.

    Summary

    “Babe, check this out,” he says as they’re knocking over a Cartier store in the middle of the night. (Armand had a hankering for some jewellery while out on the town, and Daniel is a gentleman, so he picked up a crowbar and obliged.)

    Armand saunters over from where he’s been trying on pearls and peers at the engagement rings display case Daniel is beckoning him towards.

    “Are we taking any of these?” Daniel asks — nice and smooth, nice and casual.

    Armand graces the selection with a fleeting glance, then turns his nose up.

    “Too gaudy,” he pronounces dismissively. “I cannot abide the current mania of studding everything with as many tiny gems as possible. Not to mention, these would be most unpleasant to the touch.”

    The tape recorder lodged permanently in Daniel’s freshly renovated brain is whirring away, capturing every single word.

     

    Or: Armand rekindles his love of jewellery; Daniel gets ideas.

    Summary

    That leaves Daniel and Armand, still covered in dust, sitting in the living room.

    “So,” Daniel pours a glass from the copper pot and plops a sugar in because why not? He deserves a little treat after destroying an immortal marriage. “Does he get the penthouse in the divorce? Who signed the papers?”

    Armand’s fingers are rubbing back and forth in that little tell. They press hard enough that his pale nails turn white.

    Summary

    “I don’t want you to leave me alone, Daniel.” Armand's tone is measured and cool, his eyelashes fanned against his cheeks as he blinks in a clear facsimile of human behavior, a mockery of the real thing, the strangeness of it only highlighting how far he has strayed from being what the boy in front of him currently is. “I want you to be unable to do so. I want you…to be obsessed with me.”

    Daniel interviews a vampire. Again.

    Summary

    post 2x08. Louis returns to New Orleans to reconnect with Lestat, but Lestat is no where to be found. Instead, he’s plunged into a whirlwind of haunting memories and dreams of Claudia. When he meets a strange young waitress who can also see Claudia, Louis realizes his ghostly visions might be more than figments of his imagination. But as they team up to try and contact his lost daughter, Louis and his new friend Lillie open doors that should have stayed closed.

    Meanwhile in California, Daniel is caught in a chaotic tug-of-war between his old human life and his new vampire existence. Juggling the demands of his career, an increasingly erratic Lestat, and Louis's obsessive ghost-chasing, the last thing Daniel needed was the unexpected return of his Maker, Armand. But, as it turns out, maybe Armand is exactly who he needs after all...

    Summary

    Armand thinks himself great at first impressions. He ought to be, having spent so many years twisting himself into whatever form most pleases.

    But when he met Daniel, he had already shattered into the pieces of himself that are loud, insincere, cruel. The pieces that are not worth loving, some part of his mind whispers, in a voice that could belong to Louis or to Lestat or to any number of others whom he has tried to fit inside of himself and keep, an endeavor which has only ever ended in the same blistering disappointment.

    And now—as he is sitting in the wreckage of another failed attempt at shaping himself into a home, covered in plaster dust from an outburst of rage only a fraction as bright as that which he deserved—now all there is left in front of him is Daniel.

    Armand, Daniel, and the monsters memory makes of us.
