Summary
“Do you think it’s possible for a creature to survive without love?”
Daniel got the sense that this conversation was rapidly veering in a direction he was not equipped for. “I don’t know, boss. I guess so. Don’t think it would be a very happy existence, though. I mean, most things shrivel up if no one pays any attention to them.”
“Yes. So I wonder, if something were to go hundreds of years without love, and suddenly find it again, would it even be capable of being loved anymore? Or would something inside of it have withered away and been replaced by a rotting hole that chokes whatever love comes near it, no matter how desperately the creature longs for and clings onto it?"

Armand doesn't believe Daniel loves him, so Daniel suggests that Armand drinks his blood to feel what he feels.

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
“Should rename yourself Raphael,” he teased.
Armand titled his head in confusion.
Daniel explained. “The angel? Angel of healing.” All those Sundays in the church basement didn’t go to a complete waste. Especially since he’d made Armand’s eyes soften. Daniel couldn’t stop himself. He was on a roll. “My beautiful, healing guardian angel,” he teased the vampire. “Should phone my mom. Tell her I found you, like she always said I would.”Bookmarked by slowdrowned

Summary
“If there’s something else you’d prefer to happen you need only say it,” Armand said carefully. “I might allow you to do it if you ask. Certainly I wouldn’t laugh at whatever it is.”
Armand watched the characters speak silently on the tv, their words drowned out by the music and the sound of other patrons. He tapped his fingers on the bar and imagined to himself what they might say. Ignored the steady throb of Daniel’s pulse as he screwed up his courage and then-
“Sometimes I just get curious about what it’s like to be you, that’s all,” Daniel said suddenly.
In which Armand and Daniel trade places for the night and Armand gets more than he bargained for.
