Summary
“You know that’s not true.” William takes Gabe’s hand to play with his fingers, twisting the engagement ring. He glances up toward Gabe. “Love doesn’t exist for people like us. The ‘til death do us part’ is a load of bull when you're already dying.”
“Dying people get married all the time.”
“Not people who are trying to die.”
-----------
Weddings are supposed to be a happy ending. Not in the finale to the Decaydance Weightloss Competition, though!

Summary
Gabe was not pleased in the slightest to see his soon-to-be ex-husband standing at the doorstep to an apartment that was supposed to be all his now, a symbolic transition into his new life, and yet, no matter how hard he blinked, William was still standing there, fresh out of the office in his tailored suit and cradling a bottle of chardonnay in his arms.
“When I gave you my address,” Gabe said slowly, “I thought it was obvious that it was for, y’know, dropping off our daughter or legal documents or shit I forgot.”
“I know,” William said, beaming that excellent and expensive dental care kind of smile.
-----------
While seeking a divorce from his CEO ex-husband William Beckett, Gabe mistakenly lets him into his apartment to have sex one last time. When he finds out he's pregnant, Gabe does what any rational person would do: lie that the father of the baby is actually his divorce lawyer, Pete Wentz.

Summary
Set right after the events of 03x07. Armand and Daniel reunite after their respective failures — and Daniel feels things.
“And, Daniel thinks, so what if it does? He thinks of Louis and Lestat, and he thinks of love between vampires can be one thing, or it can be many, and he looks down at the gorgeous being underneath him, and he thinks that maybe, in this afterlife, love can mean many things. That need can mean many things. That companions could mean this, again and again, maybe every night. And that he wouldn’t mind that. Not at all.”

Summary
He’d dragged Armand to the bowling alley for lack of any better ideas. It’s not like he’d wanted to bowl with him or anything. He’d only wanted to avoid anything that might further encourage Armand’s romantic delusions. No walks in the park basking in the light of the moon or whatever bullshit.
And in fact Armand hasn’t even asked to join in, has just been sitting in one of the little plastic seats watching the entire time, his hands folded in his lap. So guess it’s worked out well enough.

Summary
Vignettes set over the course of 52 years, when Armand has watched over Daniel as he slept.
"Will you wake for me, beloved?" Armand murmured against Daniel's skin. He drew in an intoxicating breath, the scent of Daniel coating the inside of his lungs. "Or will you dream of me exploring and having my way with you?"
His mouth returned to its repetitions, tongue circling Daniel's peaked nipple, as his hand led a path down to the valley of Daniel's hips. His fingers carded through Daniel's hair, nails scratching his scalp with the softest touch.
This night, he would be gentle with his lover.

Summary
“Jesus, boss. You get chubbed up every time you hunt like this?”
“Only with you, love,”
Daniel had, of course, been curious back in Dubai when Rashid had marched some twenty-something new money crypto asshole into the penthouse dining room and, for all intents and purposes, declared that dinner was served. He would have poked at it a lot more had he not needed to march him and Louis back in time for a scenic tour of Nightmare on Divisadero Street. And, well, so much shit had gone down in the aftermath that Armand having some sort of dark web forum where he found people to eat had been relegated to the back burner.
Now, almost four years later, he and Armand had come together, then they’d come together (hah), and there were no looming catastrophes on the horizon, meaning they could both finally take a breather and enjoy the little things.
The little things, to Armand, included finally setting up a hunt. A real one.
And Daniel has been invited along. As Armands date.
He does so hope no pesky memories of their forgotten past don’t interrupt what’s sure to be a good time.
