    Summary

    “We should do this again. The three of us,” Louis says, putting his hand on the back of Daniel’s chair. “Our local can catch us up, fill in the post-CBGB decades.”

    “I'd like that.” Armand smiles with closed lips and says, “I'll be in touch, Louis. Daniel.”

    They watch Armand walk out the door, papers in hand. “Hey,” Daniel says, once he's gone. “What?”

    “What?” Louis asks back.

    “You were throwing him into walls, recently,” Daniel says. “That's the last update I got on the whole situation.”

    “Wall,” Louis says, “singular.”

    Summary

    If there’s one thing Daniel has learned about having your brain hijacked, it’s that you forget ever knowing certain people - or vampires.

    As it turns out, he had met more than just two in San Francisco.

    Summary

    Louis doesn’t actually know how many boys he’s taken back here. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t change anything.

    In which Louis consummates and drains a boy and none of it means or changes anything, because Claudia is dead.

    Summary

    "I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham."

    "This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?"

    "Except we're not friends. We're actually very much not friends." Daniel shrugs, as if it's all the same to him. "And I can't imagine the great vampire Armand deigning himself to sleep on my fucked-up sofa. That thing's been here since the nineties."

    "Well," Armand only says. "I saw you have a guest bedroom."

    Summary

    It feels like every single one of his worst comedowns and withdrawals rolled into one, and then doused in acid for good measure. He grits his teeth so hard against it that he tastes blood.

    He remembers Louis describing the death of his own body during the interview, his voice placid and even as he recounted the experience, the horror of it communicated from a respectable distance, a gentle remove.

    Talk about underselling it.

    *

    Daniel adjusts to life as a vampire. Louis helps. Sort of.

    Summary

    “Marius,” Daniel interrupts. “That was your maker, right?”

    “Yes. Marius de Romanus.”

    “Out of all the names you could have gone with, you chose his?”

    *

    The combined efforts of a brand new air fryer and a certain Daniel Molloy force Armand to re-evaluate his feelings about the Maker he loved. A post-S2 fic about identity and abuse.

    Summary

    Daniel is in over his head. His plan when he went to track down his Maker was to give the guy a piece of his mind, learn to fly, and move on with his life. It’s not his problem Armand has ruined every relationship he’s ever been in. Instead of mastering his supernatural skills he finds himself pacing the floor of a sleek, impersonal rental with Armand -Arun- sobbing into the shoulder of his shirt and begging not to be left alone again. The irony of their role reversal is not lost on him: the ancient immortal childlike and miserable while his infant fledgling cares for his regressed maker. He doesn't know what Armand-Arun-Amadeo needs, but he’ll do his best to provide it.

    Summary

    Decades ago, this would have never taken place. Daniel would have been too weak to do any real damage, to move Armand without the other’s help. Here he was now, tossing Armand around the room like he wasn’t five hundred years old, like he wasn’t a powerful Devil, as if he were a mere mortal. It was worth it, to feel his shoulder blades crack, to feel the blood flow out of wounds, if it meant he got to see his boy's face the entire time.

     

    Daniel tries to find his maker, but what's his plan once he gets there? Apparently have a fight with him on Night Island.

    Summary

    "Say it," he commands again, leaning forward and burying his nose in Armand's hair. "Tell me what you want."

    Armand swallows hard before responding. "I— I want to let go." He closes his eyes and leans into the touch. "For now, I just want to... let go."

    He is almost sure Daniel is going to laugh at him, to mock him for such a weak, pathetic confession.

    But he doesn't. Instead, he presses a finger on Armand's lips and smiles faintly. "That's better." His tone is almost gentle.

    Summary

    Set in that nebulous span of time that passes in episode 2.8, this is another exploration of just how messed up Armand is—and what that means for his new fledgling. Loosely follows A Testament to Endurance.

    Somebody broke Armand. Multiple somebodies. He has no idea how to function independently, like whatever passes for vampire normal.

    Summary

    Will likely be rendered canon non-compliant by episode 2.8, but I couldn't stop wondering if it's really Armand who is the Devil's minion—because he needs to be.

    Summary

    Amber eyes gaze up at Daniel, an unreadable expression on their owner’s injured face. When Armand speaks, his voice is strangely raspy: “You’re leaving too.” What should be a statement comes out lilted like a question. Daniel wonders if he’s on the edge of tears. He also decides he doesn’t care.

    “Damn straight,” Daniel says, ready to make a break to the other room for the smoking remains of his computer. He forces his legs to walk casually, appearing as unbothered as possible to get through the door frame and away from this monster. But Daniel being Daniel, he can’t resist lobbing one more bomb: “Good riddance, boss,” he throws back, smug as ever.

    Summary

    Post-Season 2: Daniel left for Dubai after dropping a bombshell on his semi-estranged daughters that he was dying. Now, he's back (and still mortal) with a boyfriend younger than his kids.

    When his daughter quickly clocks just how conditioned "Rashid" is by past trauma, Daniel can't help but ask about Armand's past in far more detail than he has before. Armand would rather forget it all.

    Summary

    “Do you want something?” Louis finally inquires, gently, for they would be stuck there in that stock-still moment forever otherwise. Armand could stand there for hours like a marble statue without flinching a muscle.

    It seems to jerk Armand awake from his trance. “Can I- can I come into your coffin?”

    Summary

    Daniel was never father of the year with his daughters and they were normal kids, not vampires with half a millennia of unprocessed trauma that lived in their chests, waiting to erupt out. He's unqualified for this. That won't stop him from trying to do better for Armand.

    Summary

    "Armand?" said the man with the silver hair. "Hey man, it'd be great if you could weigh in here."

    "My name is Amadeo, sirs."

    The silver-haired man stared at him.

    "You see?" said the blond man after a moment, folding his arms. "This is why I have long mistrusted the craven commercialism of online recommendations. Daniel, when it comes to magic, you really should learn to rely on word of mouth instead."
