Summary
He’s sitting on a beach he hates, trading shitty jokes with a centuries-old monster whose body count would put Ed Gein to shame and who is almost certainly also plotting to turn him into a flesh lampshade.
“Don’t be dramatic,” Armand says, picking up on that thread, “I do wish you’d stop returning to that.”

time cast a spell on you (but you won't forget me) by armandyke
Fandoms: Interview with the Vampire (TV 2022), Vampire Chronicles Series - Anne Rice
12 Dec 2024
Tags
Summary
Armand, Armand, Armand. The memories recovered over the past weeks replay in his mind over and over, a torturous film reel, and no matter how many times he analyzes them from every angle, the truth remains stubbornly obvious. They had been in love. What the ever-loving fuck was he supposed to do with that?
On tour with Lestat, Daniel searches for traces of Armand in every city. What he finds instead leads him to question everything he's ever known.

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
A slight expansion on my tumblr post
"a reincarnation AU where Enjolras has eight birth marks across his chest. Grantaire only has one, right over his heart"
Bahorel remembered first.
In the harsh light of the summer morning, Bahorel ran his fingers across the birthmark thoughtfully. It had never really occurred to him before, but it was the perfect echo of a bayonet wound.The barricade boys start to remember their past and are drawn together once more.

What are you, an immortal idiot? by OracleOfTheSea
Fandoms: Interview with the Vampire (TV 2022)

Summary
“I take it you haven’t heard from my maker?” He asked, both out loud and on the vampire radio frequency. “Fucking asshole.” He muttered under his breath for good measure, still sore about how Armand had just upped and left him.
“I’m sorry you were burdened out of spite.”
Not quite out of spite, but Daniel didn’t say anything. Let Louis think what he wanted of Armand - the less those two had to do with each other, the better. Still, Daniel had hoped that the book tour would have drawn some kind of reaction.
—————
OR: The post-season 2, post-turning fic where Daniel uses his investigative skills to track down his maker.This is a direct sequel to my Old Daniel / Rashid!Armand fic: here

Summary
It’s starting to feel like this is not just about him feeling sorry for what happened earlier. Daniel says as much aloud, unable to help it even if it might mean shooting himself in the foot. Even if he might risk putting an end to this by giving it name.
“Hmm,” Rashid hums in feigned contemplation as he settles one knee on the bed beside Daniel’s hip. The index finger of his left hand dips underneath the sleeve of the older man’s cardigan. Runs along his pulse point, his veins. “What do you think it’s about, then?”
“No fucking clue,” he replies, his stare dragging up the line of Rashid’s throat, over the curve of his jaw, past his mouth and up to his eyes. The boy isn’t meeting his gaze, his lashes fluttering in the direction of Daniel’s wrist. His lips are parted slightly. He looks—he looks.
He looks horny. Wrecked. Devastatingly pretty.
Rashid huffs an airy laugh. “Liar.”

Summary
Darcy Lewis had a political science degree - summa cum laude, thank you very much - and one internship with an astrophysicist on her resume and apparently this was qualification enough to work as personal assistant for a rag tag group of super heroes who just wanted to save the world.
She was not going to argue.
Darcy and Jane band together to get Tony and Bruce to realize their attraction to one another because Jane wants more time with Thor and Darcy likes to ship her employers.

Summary
John and Sherlock are professional tennis players and it’s Wimbledon. One is a broken almost was at the end of his career, the other an arrogant rising star tipped for greatness. It should have been a straightforward tournament. It really should have been. How were they to know that a chance encounter would change everything?

Summary
After burning his hands, Sherlock's unable to release his 'tension' in the usual manner. Who should he turn to? His totally, completely straight friend and flatmate who's totally not into Sherlock or his boy parts at all. Definitely.
Just a bit of fun that's PWP with a hint of plot, all the way through.
