    Summary

    Guy suddenly realizes that he’s still got his arms wrapped around the back of Jasper’s neck. He starts ever so slightly but Jasper’s hand at the small of his back tightens, stays him. Guy swallows hard, his gaze searching Jasper’s face. Up close, he sees more of Jasper’s age, the lines around his mouth, the crow’s feet at his eyes, marks of years lived. Jasper has kept well, handsome, dignified, but even by the kindest of measures, he is still more than old enough to be Guy’s father.

    “Do you still like what you see?”

    Summary

    Guy already knew: the confirmation doesn't make it any less frightful.

    There is something in this church.

    He can feel it the moment he steps out of the car, walking the path through the modest cemetery leading to the church's entrance. Past the heavy set of doors that swing open with an eerie creak, his eyes looking up towards the altar and the large wooden crucifix hanging behind it. In the shadows that the benches and the angles of the arched roofs project over the marble floor, trembling in the light of votive candles. Almost like a whisper, a background buzz that could pass for the wind battering the building, were it not for how human-like it sounds.

    Guy is but the Lord's humble servant; who else but the one looking after the flock could protect it from the maws of the wolf?

    Summary

    Jasper has been running a quiet New York dive-bar for two years when a certain lawyer-turned-professional-partier Guy Anatole makes it his regular haunt for decompressing after work. It isn't a place for vampires; ironically, despite the nature of the solitary old-timer working behind the bar, it isn't a place for the supernatural at all.

    But one night Guy professes his unhappiness over his career, and Jasper offers him a job.

    Guy says yes.

    Summary

    “Do I have your attention?”

    Jasper thinks about that moment a lot, more so these days. The truth is that Guy had his attention before then, from moment one. The pup with his cup, outside a place he didn’t belong, doing work he shouldn’t be doing, roped into a world vastly beyond his knowledge and understanding. Some would say Guy was damned from that moment on. Jasper prefers to blame it on the Talamasca, Helen roping this poor boy into the mire.

    Or perhaps Guy was doomed at birth, and if that were the case, then so was Jasper. It’s befitting cruelty, that it should take a century for Jasper to play catchup, so their fates could properly intertwine.

    Summary

    “Wow…” he breathes.

    He moves the spoon, tilts it just a fraction, and watches in aeons-slow motion as the light glides through it, like liquid or some secret, fourth state of matter. No, fifth. Plasma is a thing. Is this plasma?

    “No, babydoll, it’s not plasma,” Jasper replies with a wry smile, and oh, Guy must still be talking.

    Armand gives a curt little sigh.

    “Well, this is a horrifying glimpse into what could have been,” he says in a voice like polished glass, then looks at Molloy. “I was right not to turn you in the ‘70s, feel free to officially admit this at any time.”

    “Jesus, he’s gonna be fine, it’s a temporary high!” Jasper groans, throwing his head back, then lifts it again to look at Armand. “It’s already fading, on night one he was so loaded he couldn’t walk straight. Trust me, I know what I’m doing. Not like I was a virgin when I did him. No offence.”

     
    Or: Jasper brings a freshly turned (and high as a kite) Guy to Night Island to ask for Armand's help with the Talamasca; meanwhile, Daniel continues to live in a telenovela...

    Summary

    It’s ridiculous, Guy keeps thinking. Dinner date, with some rich guy, and he isn’t expected to whore. Four hundred dollars is burning a hole in his pocket. There’s going to be four hundred more.

    Guy wants to laugh: he wouldn’t pay himself $800. What kind of man is going to be on the other side of this door?

    Summary

    Jasper strongly encourages Guy to explore the "primal shit" he's been repressing. Hopefully he won’t catch any pesky feelings along the way.

    "This is the problem with boys like you, Guy. You’ve got a pretty face and all this curly hair,” Jasper's hand shot out and Guy couldn’t hold in a whimper at the lethal speed of it, one moment cinched around his wrist and the next trapping his jaw in a grip that made his teeth ache, “and one skill that’s more of a party trick. You think it makes you special. You think the world will bend for you. Well puppy, I don’t fucking bend.”

    Summary

    “You could leave the Talamasca any time you want. You can come with me right now, it could be us together like it should’ve been in the first place. I’ve told you that—”

    “With you?” Guy laughs. And the thought you tried to kill me yourself crosses his mind, because of course it does and maybe it always will, and he knows Jasper is expecting him to voice it. But they’ve already fought about it, haven’t they? And it’s not what’s really concerning Guy right now. “From what I can see, you can’t even protect yourself.”


    Post-season 1, after Jasper escapes Amsterdam and Guy is dragged back into the Talamasca, they continue to meet in secret when they can.

    Summary

    “Another lie.” Another strike. Another scream. “Wanna know why I think you did it? You want this. You want to get punished because you think you deserve it. Hell, you even like it. Love the brain fog it produces in your mind. Love giving yourself over. In the end, you want someone to hurt you."

    Summary

    He can feel him before he sees him, like a thumb pressed to the inside of his skull, the soft scrape of a familiar mind against his. One life, Jasper thinks, and look at the mess we’ve made of it.

    Neither of them move. Jasper has the ridiculous thought to pinch himself, see if he’s not transparent, as if he’s a projection illuminated only by want. Guy is thinner than he remembers. His hair is shorter (curious, that), shadows under his eyes darker than they used to be. He looks sharper. He’s focused, more precise, whittled after the year-or-so that he’s probably been on the run. Jasper is aware of the exact distance between them, the corridor of it; the want is suddenly almost audible, a roar in his ears, a string stretched between them.

    Jasper's free, Guy is God-knows where. They should probably never speak again, but they do.

    Summary

    As an operative for Talamasca, Guy keeps meeting Jasper, a vampire whose hatred for the Talamasca is entirely warranted.

    Despite their inherent conflict, a dangerous spark ignites between them, ensuring that their every meeting ends the same way: with their bodies entwined, his flesh pierced by fangs. Each time, Guy promises himself it's the last one; a declaration he’s made so often it’s less a promise and more of a habit now.

    He ought to despise and fear Jasper. He understands this. And he knows Jasper has all the reasons to despise him. Thus, every meeting brings him this chilling thought that tonight, he will take his life after all. And yet, his heart stubbornly keeps beating.

    The reason behind it eludes him.

    Summary

    "Have you figured what you want to do with me?” Their eyes don't leave each other. It's daunting, it's everything he wants. He hates to admit that he thrives just like this.

    Jasper's expression shifts then. He huffs out a breath he doesn't need, flicking his claw up in the air. “No.”

    Summary

    Jasper’s hand lays over his heart, and his whole body jolts without moving. Those terrifying eyes stare at him, and he stares back even as the pulse pound of his heart roars, thumpthump thumpthump, a pace that Jasper can surely feel under his hand. No heat seeps through the touch but the press of it roots him even as it unmoors him. Jasper has moved closer somehow, the negligible height difference between them means that they’re now eye to eye. He wants to blink; he wants to look away; he wants to flinch.

    I can see why they sent you.
