Summary
“But generally, Armand enjoyed Daniel’s input. He liked the conversation, and he liked the edge, even if most times it made him feel much, much older. He liked how every discussion became a prelude to impact, the feeling of expectation building in the air until he swore he could hear the static popping past his ears.[...]"
“There’s a guy staring at you,” Daniel finally said, just as Armand was about to put the kibosh on this whole thing.
“Oh?
——————

Summary
Later, when they were lying in bed, Armand asked him to point out where exactly the pain had originated. Daniel dug a tentative finger somewhere underneath his ribs. Armand had traced the spot, feather-light.
“That’s where I live,” he’d said, by way of explanation. “A part of me, inside of you.”

Curiosity might not have killed the cat, but it’s certainly led it some strange places. Daniel would know. -

Summary
Daniel Molloy’s not dead yet — but he’s running up real close to it. The rapid progression of the disease inspires him to try and reconnect with his daughters, after years of little to no contact. However, one last obstacle has been placed in the way of rekindling the relationship with his youngest: a new boyfriend for her, and a familiar face for Daniel. A grief he’d hoped to have left behind three years prior.
[…]
The other man, whose face Daniel couldn’t see hidden as it was against the boy’s neck, mouth feverishly working at the skin, had him cornered against the tiles. One veined hand held the boy’s wrist up by the side of his head, grasping with unnecessary strength.Daniel’s mouth had gone suddenly desert dry, as an alarming voice blared between his ears: Either get on with it or get up and out. Still, he couldn’t move. He couldn’t risk alerting them to his presence—why?
He understood now in hindsight that he’d been hesitant because, at least subconsciously, Daniel had known he was witnessing a scene put on just for him.

Summary
”Clasping his now twice offended head, Daniel kicks the door closed behind the man-shaped whirlwind that just stormed into his home. He doesn’t need to further investigate the identity of this intruder: there’s only one person he knows with enough mental malaise to come pounding down his door, hours before dawn.”
[…]
” In the charged silence, the ping of response resonates like church bells. Daniel’s message had been short and to the point, devoid of his usual humor, informing Louis that his boyfriend had stolen into their apartment to find him, and would he please deign to let him know he was alive.”Louis’ answer is equally curt.
I’m ok. Drank too muchj . Staying at Lestat’s.
Then, fraction of a second later: DON’T TELL ARMAND.”
[…]
Louis makes bad decisions, and Daniel pays the toll. He’s not too mad about it, though.

Summary
“Have you ever considered you might be repressing some aspect of your attraction to men?”
It was always a whip-shock feeling when Gilbert posed these questions, especially since he looked, wearing his pastel hand knitted sweater, something of a grandpa. Morpheus blinked at him, slowly.
“How did you get to that?”
Morpheus is going through therapy. It calls into question some aspects of his love life he’d never considered — and absolutely wrecks his weekend. Fortunately, he has some very good friends to test his theories out.

Summary
“Who goes?”
He asks, a fraction of a second before the Stranger rears his head and pins a pair of bright blues on him. The cigarette falls from Hob’s mouth.
There’s a deep shadow coating the side of his face, following the sharp turn of his jaw. It gleams red in the light, and wet, dripping down his neck in thin stripes. Hob starts walking towards him without any need to consciously will his feet.
“It’s you,” he says, dumbfounded, “ - but it’s too early. It’s not been thirty years.”
Burgess’ ritual works perhaps a bit too well. Dream’s memory is lost in the process, his instruments stolen by a familiar cast of conspirators, and his kingdom subject to a coup. Hob Gadling has been weathering in London since their last meeting in 1889, and expects anything other than a sudden visit from a bloody and disheveled Stranger. Nevertheless, good pal that he is, brings the thing home and tries to make sense of a story which is much bigger than him.

Summary
The man standing in front of him gives a tight, noncommittal smile. It makes the skin around his lips and eyes wrinkle, in a handsome, rugged way. Credence almost chokes at the familiarity.
“Good morning,” Guy From That Porn Vid says. “Uh, yeah, can you get me a few assorted cupcakes?”
