Summary
Armand’s sitting in a recliner by the window, legs propped on what appears to be a concrete block cleverly disguised as an ottoman— or maybe the other way around. In his hand is a glass of blood, mostly finished, with a blue crazy straw sticking out of it. He’s staring at Daniel with nothing behind his eyes.
“Did you feed me your blood while I was unconscious?”
“I felt we left our conversation unfinished.” He slurps the remnant of his drink; divorce seems to have shredded his air of mystery. When he lets the straw drop out of his mouth, his lips, slightly parted, are bright red. Daniel decides to look at the straw instead, which says eid mubarak in cursive.
“I got it on Amazon,” Armand offers, like this makes any sense. “It was a multipack.” He removes the straw and sucks the bottom end contemplatively, his red-red tongue removing every last drop of blood, still staring at Daniel. The back of Daniel’s neck feels hot. He’s blaming it on the vampire blood making him horny. Slowly, carefully, he rises to his feet._______
Or, Armand deals with his divorce by going on a bender.

Summary
But it isn’t the same without the threat of punishment. Without the promise of Daniel’s disappointed look, unwavering and unconvinced by Armand’s wide penitent eyes as he drags the armchair from the wall.
The firm pat of his knee as he sits. Come here. Armand crawling to the chair. I didn’t mean to. Daniel’s large hand on his back, rubbing, sympathetic. I know, sweetheart. Then the other hand, pushing on the hinge of his hips, folding him forcefully but not unkindly over his lap...
---
or: Armand is thrown periodically and violently into his past, hiding it from an unconvinced Daniel. To feel tethered to the present, he asks Daniel to give him the pain he needs.Bookmarked by pretenditsanicename

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

Summary
Daniel has no fucking clue what’s going on.
He knows Armand. Hell, he considers his relationship with Armand to be one of his failed marriages. But now Armand is cosplaying as one of Louis’ houseboys while pretending the two of them didn’t have a whole life of their own.
It’s either a massive Saw trap designed by Armand to fuck with him one last time - which fuck him very much if so - or maybe Daniel’s losing his mind.
Could this be the Parkinson’s? Is the whole fucking interview just a delusion? Does it work that way?
