    Summary

    Daniel has never particularly liked hearing people call Armand "Mr. de Romanus."

    It's pretentious. It barely sounds like him. And maybe some stupid, primitive part of Daniel's brain doesn't particularly enjoy his companion walking around with another man's name.

    He keeps that last part to himself.

    Mostly.

    It's not like it matters, anyway.

    Until, apparently, it does.

    Summary

    There! Right there, a tall figure, the only one that’s standing still in this jumping, swaying crowd, the only one who doesn’t get jostled or bumped. Dark clothes, dark hair, those beady orange eyes.

    Everything inside Daniel sings in recognition, and he starts forward, which is when Armand turns away, slipping in the direction of the exit, and fuck that!

    Daniel lunges between the crush of bodies, reaches out, hooks his fingers in the back of Armand’s belt. Armand turns around, hair flying, wide-eyed, startled; Daniel isn’t buying any of it for a second.

    “You said you did want me,” Daniel says over the roar and pulse of the stage; his fingers are still anchored behind that belt, but slipping, as Armand turns towards him.

    “Yes. Very much.”

    He says it so sadly and so coolly at the same time. He’s doing that uber-composed thing, where he’s lacquered over with varnish and polish and glass. Vibrant and vivid and fucking fascinating but… untouchable. Unreachable. Unknown.

     
    Or: 5 times Daniel couldn't catch Armand, post-turning, +1 (so many) time(s) he did.

    Summary

    “Oh-kay,” Daniel says happily, then quickly opens up his recording program, flips open a notepad. “New York session one, we have the vampire Armand Molloy and the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac here… Going to discuss the infamous Gardner Museum heist.”

    “Hello,” says Armand, like he’s on the fucking radio; Daniel bites the inside of his cheek to stop a truly hideously sappy smile from breaking out.

    Louis snorts, but at least he no longer looks like he’s about to start haunting a Victorian mansion in a wedding dress, so: score.

     

    Or: Louis comes round for a visit, Daniel gets that Gardner Museum heist interview, and Armand loves getting taken down by his beloved.

    Summary

    Daniel’s head is a metre from his body, and his eyes are closed. His left arm is by the door, and his skin is the colour of clouded sky, grey as ash or smoke-

    Armand takes a breath.

    Daniel is not dead, he decides. It is as easy as that.

    Summary

    Armand brings Daniel’s palm to his chest, so that their hands rest where his heart would be. Daniel stares at him, unravelling.

    “I love you.” Armand whispers, “I don’t want to sleep alone anymore.”

    Summary

    Daniel stutters and stumbles, flails for a moment, his own fang floating around in his mouth; his gag reflex makes the first appearance since it went dormant all the way back during the Nixon administration.

    “Daniel?” Armand is on him in a second, eyes wide and alert. “Daniel, what’s wrong?”

    People slow down and stare, concerned about the senior citizen possibly having a medical episode in the middle of the sidewalk; Armand pulls him aside; Daniel finally manages to spit the damn fang out into his hand.

    “What the fuck?”

    Armand coos, a happy beam on his face. “Oh, look, beloved, you’ve exfoliated! Congratulations!”

    “What the fuck?!”

     

    Or: Daniel finds out fledglings get "baby fangs" and lose the first set; Armand is a proud maker, totally normal and reasonable about his fledgling.

    Summary

    There it was. That hollow feeling inside of his chest like his heart had disappeared entirely. Everything seemed to go still. It was a phantom ache. It happened with his missing eye on occasion. It wasn't real. It was the frayed nerve endings of a missing limb and the faulty signals they were sending to his brain.

    Daniel was gone and it was as though Armand had cut off his hand with Nicki's axe.

    Daniel was never coming back.

    Then…footsteps.

    Or: Post-Akasha reunion fic…maybe…if a person with the wrong face and wrong voice and wrong body can convince Armand that's what's happening. Good thing Armand has no trust issues whatsoever and is used to good things happening to him.

    Summary

    “But it was love." Armand pleaded his case with such raw desperation, and Daniel doesn’t believe him; he doesn’t.

    But he can see it, and that’s somehow worse. He and Armand decorating for Christmas in the living room, making the trip up north for a proper Christmas tree because Armand has nothing but time, and if Daniel was living with Armand, then he must’ve been far in enough to want to drive with him for 5 hours plus. Walking around and stopping in the numerous stores and restaurants. Daniel can see himself drinking everything in and loving it, being Armand’s thing.

    He can see himself being in love, totally. Daniel was so ready for an eternal life with Louis after only 10 hours, ready to be his stand-in Lestat and Claudia. So an eternal life here? On an island with every indulgence and a smoking hot vampire companion by his side, talk about a siren call.

    Daniel finds something on Night Island that almost puts all the puzzle pieces together.

    Summary

    "Are you fucking him?"

    "What? You are being absurd, Daniel."

    "Am I, Mr. It's Repertory Theatre, Mr. Molloy? You made a point of telling me in Dubai. Let's not forget Tuan and Quang Pham in the back row of a cinema watching, Now, Voyager."

    —

    Armand brings Alex back into the fold. It's easier for Daniel to be jealous than unpack literally anything else that's happened in the last four years.

    Summary

    “Oh, shit,” Daniel says. “Armand, I’m not – ! Fuck. Babe! Armand. You gotta come get me!”

    In which Daniel’s first flying lesson doesn’t go exactly as Armand had envisaged. (Daniel knew it was going to be a disaster. He’ll probably say, ‘I told you so’.)

    Summary

    “Babe, are you a serial killer?” Daniel asked.

    Armand lowered his folder and looked at Daniel like he thought this might be a trick question. “Yes?” he replied, clearly unsure whether it was the answer Daniel was looking for. “And so are you?”

    “What?! Oh. Right.”

    “You kill to survive every night,” Armand clarified unnecessarily. “I know you know this.”

    “Yeah, no, I know. I guess I meant,” Daniel said, holding up the jar of fangs again, “are you a serial killer of vampires?”

    In which Daniel questions Armand about something he finds among his ‘knickknacks’.

    Summary

    “You’re only 44 months in the blood, my beloved—”

    “Babe, can you please just say three-and-a-half?”

    “—so it’s only natural you might still be going through some adjustments.”

    “So I’m teething.”

    Armand sighs, then purses his lips, but, well. “Yes.”

    “Hey, I already was staring down the barrel of adult diapers in a couple years, I just dodged that bullet. No more old-age-infantile stuff, okay?”

    “Of course,” Armand replies demurely. “Perhaps a chew toy might be in order,” he breathes very lightly, looking down studiously at his iPad.

     

    Or: 5 times Armand has a thing about Daniel's fangs +1 time Daniel has a thing about Armand's.

    Summary

    “Hey, man, you need a ride?”

    A kid, in his 20s. Black tousled curls, green eyes. His cheeks are round, some baby fat still clinging to him, but it’s offset by the strong line of his jaw and a square chin. Frank’s knife aches in his pocket; he wants to flick it open, press the tip of it into those cheeks, first one, then the other. Watch the flesh dip, then split and part for the blade. He wants to carve that face.

    “I’m headed for Nevada,” he says. “Any bit could help.”

    “Hey, it’s your lucky day!” the kid says with a broad grin that stretches his plush cupid lips really far. “Hop in!”

    Frank climbs into the back seat, slips off his backpack.

    “Thank you boys so much,” he says, extends a hand. “My name’s Frank.”

    The kid on the passenger side shakes it, easy and firm.

    “I’m Daniel, this is Armand.”

     

    Or: it's 1979, two maniacs are in love, and serial killers make for good lunch.

    Summary

    “You’re shitting me!” Daniel looks positively gleeful.

    “I am not.”

    “This is awesome. Fucking Florida.”

    “Mm. We should go there in the summer. Revisit our island,” Armand suggests romantically.

    “Yeah, sounds great, babe. Milan, 1641—”

    “I think I’ve just isolated the root cause of your two divorces.”

    “Ha-ha, nice try, asshole, we both know it was you. So anyway, Milan.”

    “Milan,” Armand sighs his surrender, though does not stop the light smile from curling up in the corners of his lips.

    Summary

    Armand picks up the bag and upends it over the bed; he picks out the antibiotics and deposits the eight boxes in Daniel’s lap.

    “What the fuck…”

    “These are all different — which ones seem best suited to your predicament?”

    “Predica— oh my god, man, you can’t be for real!”

    Armand frowns. “Daniel, please. This is serious.”

    “I mean… it’s really not.”

    “Blood poisoning is, in fact, extremely serious, beloved. Now please, tell me, which of these should you take?”

    “Uh, these are all pretty strong, I don’t need any of these.”

    “Yes, you do.”

    “It’s not healthy to take antibiotics for no reason!”

    Looks like Armand will have to crush the pills into his food.

     

    Or: Armand, the plagues and the wonders of medicine. And Daniel. So much Daniel.

    “Will you ever be able to forgive me for all I’ve done?”

    Daniel cranes his neck to look over at Armand. Can he? They only have forever, assuming this doesn’t kill him.

    Summary

    Deliriously, with blood dripping down his chin, Daniel mutters, “I thought you said you’d never let me near your neck.”

    Armand laughs, a sound Daniel hasn’t heard since the 1980s.

     

    Or: Armand offers to turn Daniel, and Daniel remembers loving him once.
