    Summary

    Beneath the dermis, the skin he wears at any given moment, whether stretched over him by master, maître, or circumstance, there is a pocket of empty air, and it’s what’s beneath that pocket that Daniel wants to know. Whatever’s left over of Arun, of Amadeo, yes, but also whatever Armand’s become over the centuries, what scraps of identity he’s collected, what he is when he doesn’t have to be anything.

    An accident, a provocation, and a continuous sunburn under the eave of memory lane.

    Summary

    A proposed mid-season 3 encounter with very soft vibes in which Armand and Daniel face the reality of whatever is happening between them.

    --

    “Was I cruel, to call you an eager black hole in San Francisco?” Armand asks as he leans forward and gently touches Daniel’s jaw, tracing the back of his index finger along its edge, which has been softened by age.

    The question and touch startle Daniel, and he flinches. Armand tries to pull away but Daniel moves faster for once, grabbing at Armand’s wrist and pushing his maker’s hand closer to him.

    “Yes,” Daniel says as Armand strokes his skin again, “but you weren’t wrong, either.”

    Summary

    Here Armand is beneath him, small and thin and malleable, pretty as sunlight as he looks up at Daniel in the dark.

    “Hello?” Armand says, amused, and Daniel should not laugh, should not dare to when his hand is wrapped around Armand’s throat. It escapes him anyway, a breathy sort of chuckle, and Armand smiles at the sound of it.

    Summary

    The dark room around them was painted in a false evening light as Daniel’s mind swelled with drunken affection for his lost Alice. The boy’s psyche was a delicate house of cards. He’d filled out a decade of inconsistencies and holes with sweeping golden reverence. The woman in his mind was pleasantly faceless – dark eyes, dark curls, that shock of gold on her face reimagined as an unruly streak in the eyebrow. All that tenderness projected onto a woman who never was. All that anger left without a home.


    New Year's Eve, 1999. Daniel meets a pretty stranger at a bar.
    Armand meets the love of his life, one more time.

    Summary

    Three lost glimpses into the life of Daniel Molloy: 2018, 1996, and 1974.

    He spent most of that year high. He spent the rest of it all different sorts of hungover. Sweating and throwing up, knocking back handfuls of aspirin that didn’t help, staying up all night bouncing off the walls and rambling nonsense into his tape recorder that he played back when he was halfway sober hoping to find a gem of hidden genius and getting confronted with the hallucinating delusions of a coked-up lunatic instead. He sleepwalked and had nightmares. He woke up choking on his own vomit as cold hands forced him over onto his side. This happened more than once. This happened more than twice. He had dreams which weren’t nightmares where he killed himself and then woke up dead with cold and lovely lips against his throat. His days were a haze. His nights were clear crystal color when he wasn’t too high to function; when he was just high enough to be the fun and pliant toy he was supposed to be; when he was sober enough to still get hard for his own personal demon incubus who came and slaughtered whoever he might have tricked into his bed that night as a pitiful offering of human sacrifice to his vengeful hating god.
