    Summary

    In which Daniel Molloy pulls himself together (then has another nervous breakdown, then pulls himself together again), Armand doesn't know what a 3D printer is, Benji has a Plan (of which Step H is roughly shaped like the movie The Parent Trap), and nobody here can keep their noses out of each other's business.

    (Or: In which the author is on a holy crusade to right the wrongs Anne committed in Blood Communion, such as not mentioning Daniel even once.)

    ***

    “People call in sometimes, and they say, ‘Whatever happened to the Vampire Daniel, anyway?’ What am I supposed to say, you know? ‘Oh, Daniel Molloy? Yeah, he lives in my house, he’s got a room up in the attic with some mad science experiments or something, we’re blood relatives, but I don’t know what’s going on with him; we don’t talk.’ Come on. That’s not responsible journalism. The people want to know!”

    Summary

    For a second, the cool air of the fan hit the skin of his neck like a balm. A shiver ran down his back and Daniel thought it was relief, from the heat, the itchiness, the stares. It was actually the beginning of the end, and Daniel just had no fucking clue.

    “What is that?” The voice, his voice, broke the stillness. Cut through it. Swiftly, elegantly, leaving no bloody mess behind. Lestat sounded mocking, sharp, like he'd wanted it to hurt.

    “What?” Daniel turned back around to face him; continuing to show him his back, the fragile bend of his neck, felt too dangerous.

    “On your neck. What is that on your neck, Daniel?”
    __________________________

    Years after that disastrous interview in San Francisco, Daniel Molloy is working as a music journalist in Los Angeles and is tasked with interviewing rock 'n' roll's newest enfant terrible, Lestat de Lioncourt.

    It wouldn't be an issue, if it weren't for the scar on his neck. Two rows of teethmarks, the gnarly outline matching that of Lestat's husband's mouth.

    A second chance encounter for Daniel. A second chance at uncovering the dangerous, dark memories he has forgotten, or been made to forget.

    Summary

    It starts as all things wild and incalculable between them start—with Armand crowding against him in a public place without notice or permission. Daniel knows him by scent, though. He learned four chance meetings ago somewhere in Munich that Armand smells like overripe fruit and the salt of blood from the marinade of suspended rot down to his bones.

    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

    "Happy birthday!" Daniel croons, his grin hooking his mouth wide, eyes bright and glowing with pleasure between dark eyelashes.

    He holds out a small packet, haphazardly wrapped in colourful paper; a hint of pink dusts his cheeks, his heartbeat quickened with excitement and nerves; he smells sweet with it.

    Slowly, Armand takes the packet from him; it's light, and when he turns it over in his hands, it emits a quiet, gentle rattle.

    "Okay, birthday tutorial: at this point, we usually say 'thank you'."

     
    Or: Daniel Molloy and the many birthdays of the vampire Armand, across decades.
