Summary
The brightness adjusts, and the image resolves to the profile of a man in a suit, taking up the left side of the shot. He is not the one who set the camera to record; rather, he looks like he’s been sitting on this sofa mastering his frustration for some time. His gloved hand pinches the bridge of his nose. “Sir, if you insist on doing this,” says the man in the suit, “please, for posterity, tell them it was your idea.”
or: Rashid, Armand, an old camcorder, and a 'sexy Zoologist' roleplay.

Summary
Set between episode 2x3 and 2x4; Daniel explores Al Seef Tower and is confronted with his poorly repressed homosexuality and a snarky butler/zoologist.
The pool is olympic sized, as advertised, but Daniel’s gaze is immediately drawn to Armand slicing through the water and showing a lot of skin.
A lot of skin. The tight, blue swim briefs leave his long, muscular legs entirely exposed.
You creepy old man, stop staring at him. But Daniel cuts his internal scolding short. Armand is a five hundred and fourteen year old apex predator, not Louis’ twenty-something fuck toy with an alluring attitude problem. There’s no power imbalance here. Or, there is, and it tips pretty fucking firmly in the other direction.
It’s a compelling line of logic, but Daniel startles so badly he nearly topples into the pool when Rashid appears in his peripheral vision.
“Fuck man, you’re not even a vampire. You have no reason to be that quiet. Do the two of them give classes or something?”

Summary
Daniel harasses Real Rashid during his lunch break at Talamasca headquarters. Silly ficlet but I had so much fun writing dialogue for them.
“Do you miss playing butler to the Stepford Wives?”
“We may share an employer, but I still find you immensely irritating.”
“How did you come by that gig anyway? And did the Talemascca recruit you before or after?”
Rashid sighs in a way that is so artfully restrained it comes all the way back around and makes him seem like a diva. “I hold a PhD in cryptozoology.”

Summary
“That a vampire thing?” he drawls. “Brooding all over yourself while staring at a painting that’s so on-the-nose symbolic of your past that it’s borderline offensive to the audience?”
Armand chuckles, coming up behind him, and wraps his arms around Daniel’s waist, hooks his chin over Daniel’s shoulder.
“That depends,” he says, peering at the painting with him. “Which part of your past are you brooding about?”
Or: Daniel and Armand tour three art locations, meet up with two old friends, and share one braincell.

Bookmarker's Notes
They can talk all they want about vampires being technically dead; they should see this: Armand, walking through this gallery of long-dead people’s husks carved in stone, and yet he remains. Living. Present. Indomitable. Walking barefoot on marble, and with each step Daniel could swear he hears him announce himself: I am here.
