    Summary

    Daniel gives himself a moment to digest everything.

    Two extra copies of Armand. One wearing tights and screaming in Italian – or whatever dialect they spoke in sixteenth-century Venice – and one that looked like he just crawled out of a French sewer.

    “So this is what you were trying to hide from me? You, what -- accidentally Boys From Brazil’d yourself?” 

    Armand turns to look at him. He’s got that cute little frown line between his eyebrows, the one he gets when he’s so distracted trying to figure something out that he forgets to care about how his face looks.  

    “You are not taking this the way I anticipated.”

    Or: Daniel and Armand... and Arun, and Amadeo, and Armand (Gremlin).

    Summary

    Five vampires dealing with the aftermath of Lestat's capture by their coven, and a human, about to become one of them.

    Missing scene fic for The Vampire Lestat (book), where Armand kills all members of his coven with the exception of four vampires, who managed to escape to seek help from Lestat. Somewhere else in Paris, Nicolas is about to become a vampire, but his mind barely registers the horrors around him.

    A small recollection of scenes from the Vampires who survive the dissolution of the Parisian coven of the Children of Darkness, after Allesandra steps into her suicidal pyre.

    Summary

    They'd had a horrible fight. Daniel, dejected and angry that Armand refused to give him the Dark Gift, stormed out, intending to blow off some steam until he was desperate enough to ask Armand to come get him. Instead, he found himself in the weirdest place, with a bunch of French vampires and an Armand that didn't know him.

    Or: a study in loneliness.

    Summary

    "Daniel had never thought of himself as needy, but whenever Armand left him with a tissue and a pat on the head he felt like shit. Sure, Daniel had ‘done well’ or whatever pithy bit of praise Armand thought to offer him that evening, but what did that matter when he’d wake up alone and spiral over it the next day? And Armand, either unknowing or just uncaring, would disappear and leave him to stew for a handful of days until he turned up again as if nothing had happened at all."

    Daniel goes to jail. Takes Armand out for a night on the town. Struggles with feeling abandoned but, for better or worse, gets what he'd asked for in the end.

    Summary

    “Lestat is a fool without laws. You lack the finesse to withstand this clarity, and so you are punished for seeing the truth all ignorants are blind to: that our life is not a life, and death is the only way out.”

    Nicolas looks up, wide eyed, relieved.

    “I know it is the fire what you crave.”

     

    Armand and Nicki bearing affection for one another until madness ensues.

    Summary

    Eleni goes to say something else, but her attention is pulled to something behind Armand, something in the corner of the room.

    “I thought we left him tied down?” she says, an eyebrow raised.

    Armand does not need to glance back to know that Nicolas de Lenfent is currently sitting up in Armand’s coffin.

    Or: Armand and Nicki in the absence of Lestat.

    Summary

    It was the thing about Armand that Lestat could never grasp: why he wouldn’t simply reach out his hand to take what was there, what was offered. The world would hand you nothing that you didn’t hunt down yourself. What could be more true in the life of a vampire, a hunter? It was the only thing to save them from hell: to keep eating.

    Lestat, Armand, and their ghosts.

    Summary

    The dark does not always bring suffering. That is a fiction of people who live in the light. In the dark there is often the deepest relief. As for death…there are different kinds of that, too. There is the little death, which annihilates, in its way, but allows one to return to life. And then there is the ultimate release: the gift of unending rest. I can bring you both of these. Deliver you to the endings you desire. Would you like that?

    Before the Cleveland Street Scandal of 1889, Armand and Lestat visit a London rent boy. They disagree about what he needs, what they want from each other, and Armand's true nature. TL;DR: Armand is a top and Lestat gets him to admit it.

    Everything follows the chronology of the first two seasons of the show. This means that in the timeline of the story, which starts in 1888, Armand and Lestat haven't met Louis. It imagines that Lestat didn't spend all of the nineteenth century underground. The fact that he did makes me sad, since I'm a historian of that period. If he'd been awake in the 1880s and bumped into Armand, I think he'd have been like this.

    An exploration of Lestat's recovery after he is turned, Armand's liberation from the Children of Darkness, and an attempt to stitch together some aspects from The Vampire Lestat with what we were shown in the 18th-century flashbacks in the show. Also, sexy telepathy.

    Summary

    The first thing Armand notices about him is his garish clothing. Fur and crushed velvet with a wide-eyes violinist for ornament. And there is Armand in dirty linen fidgeting with bird-bones.

    Character-study of Armand, and his strange fascination with things, through his trauma up until his breakup with Lestat.

    Summary

    Daniel can tell right away that something is deeply, unsettlingly wrong. And that’s when he realizes that Armand hasn’t moved his legs once in Daniel’s sight, which has been trained on him nearly the entire time. How long had it taken Louis to recover from his spinal injury?

    “He had a lot more going on,” Armand wheezes. “But, to answer your question without consulting your abysmal recordings? Months.”

    “Uh, they’re not so easily consulted at the moment,” Daniel says, trying to maintain his balance. It’s going to be a fucking miracle if he can get himself back on his feet, let alone haul a temporarily paralyzed Armand along with him. “I’m gonna let the head thing slide for the time being.”

    “The head thing?”

    “You. In mine.”

    “How generous.”

    “The way I see it,” Daniel says, “I’m your only ticket out of here if you’re in as bad a shape as I think you are. Tell me I’m wrong.”

    Summary

    Mortal flesh can give way where the soul carries on. Neither Armand nor Riccardo is the same, but waiting is not done in vain.

    A way to start over, a way to rest, a way to let go, a way to forgive, a way to make amends, a way to be young again, a way to find closure, a way to have what's familiar and still move forward.
