    Summary

    Armand takes up art. He gets discovered on Instagram almost immediately.

    The thing about that is, Armand gets popular on his own. And it doesn’t take long for the media to connect the dots and start interviewing the two of them together, trying to make them into a B-list power couple.

    “So, Armand,” the latest TV anchor is saying, leaning forward while one of Armand’s charred art pieces sits on the table between them. “Your art: so evocative, so poignant. Tell us: why the fire as a medium?”

    “I like fire,” Armand says with concerningly visible honesty.

     

    or: those two old men are in love and move in together. Armand searches for identity; Daniel, as all writers, does his level best to not actually write.

    Also: this fic is medically recommended for anyone who has suffered through the ordeal of having an HP printer.

    Summary

    Daniel didn’t know the history of the bath, but he probably would someday.

    One day, his curiosity would get the better of him and he’d go digging to find the fossilised pieces of Armand’s past and start putting them together like palaeontologists do with dinosaur bones. And like them he wouldn’t get it right first try but it’s not like he would stop trying.

    And the narrative where Armand was upset by the bath made more sense.

    The actual fact, that Armand was sure of, was that he could have gone through with the bath and given Daniel no clues at all about any of his prior experiences if Daniel hadn’t asked Armand to affirm that he wanted it.

    That had been the distressing part.

    *

    OR: Daniel treats Armand nicely enough that Armand starts wondering if the way people treated him in the past wasn't good enough.

    Summary

    “You have already decided for yourself a narrative, and, as a result, understanding will forever escape you.” Armand rose from the little wrought iron table outside the bar they had been idling at.

    “Ok. Re-tell me the tale. Did he rape you?”

    “No.”

    **

    OR: three times Daniel tried to talk to Armand about his past.
