    Summary

    With Louis things are delicate because they matter. He finds himself wanting to do things in stages, the careful reach of heart a for another, things done in increments, looking at each other’s faces for reassurance. He reaches for the top button of Louis’s shirt, unbuttons it. “Well.”

    Summary

    "A point about how much a guy can fit up him?"

    "A point," Louis says, gentle, indulgent, implacable, "about how you are still more than capable of touching someone without hurting them."

    Louis takes his turn to guide Daniel a little further towards self-knowledge.

    Summary

    “Don’t you worry your pretty little head,” Louis tells him, a cigarette between his lips. He knocks his hand against Armand’s head lightly, as if to excise the thoughts out of his head physically, “you just lie there and let me take care of you.”

    And Armand always does, a prone creature capable only of waiting and of trembling.

    Summary

    “It’s a miracle you’ve survived for so long,” Louis murmurs. He flicks his thumb back and forth over the tip of Armand’s fang, back and forth again. “Can these even pierce through skin? They feel awfully blunt to me.”

    Summary

    “You want me feisty?” Daniel tries to tease back, but again, his voice wavers. “You could’ve had me feisty.” Could’ve had me any way you wanted.

    Yeah?

    Still can. Who am I kidding.

    And Louis says it, out loud, firm but quiet, soft but sure: “Good thing I want you exactly as you are.”

    Summary

    Daniel asks Louis if he's sure when he first suggests it. He asks him again a few days later, to see if he's changed his mind. He makes a psychic collect call to Lestat, of all people, and asks if he's sure. Asks Armand if he's sure when he accepts the invitation, when they're packing, when they're on the way to the airport. When they're walking up to arrivals, Armand’s grip crushing Daniel's fingers, Louis smiling at the back of the crowd with his hands in his pockets, casual as anything, like they do this every day.

    They're all sure and sure and sure, so Daniel lets Louis pull him in with one arm, Armand with the other, and hug them both while a planeful of tired New Yorkers filters out around them into the muggy bayou dark.

    Summary

    “Did you know, Daniel, that bats are mammals?”

    “What?” His brain comes to a halt with a record scratch. “The fuck does that have to do with anything?”

    “They nurse their young,” Armand tells him, and now the smirk breaks through.

    “This is a joke, right?”

    Armand sheds his shirt like a snake sheds his skin, leaving it discarded, and Daniel’s gaze slips down to the creature’s chest. He still looks so young, he thinks absentmindedly, chest strong and smooth and almost glowing under the light. Fuck, but he’s got pecs on him, it was already evident under the dress shirt, but now they’re on show.

    It has to be a joke.

    ---

    A freshly-turned Daniel is told a little secret about vampire biology. Things devolve from there.

    Summary

    Armand is well familiar with discomfort. And Armand is rewarded when Louis murmurs, “Bon garçon,” and removes his fingers to trace his mouth

    You have never been good. You have not been a boy in an eternity. You will be a boy forever.

    “Merci, Maître,” Armand says softly instead.

    ────────────────

    Armand is unsettled, and Louis is distant. Their usual games take a turn.

    Summary

    Daniel was never father of the year with his daughters and they were normal kids, not vampires with half a millennia of unprocessed trauma that lived in their chests, waiting to erupt out. He's unqualified for this. That won't stop him from trying to do better for Armand.

    Summary

    Louis shakes his head. “And now he's got you stepping on him.”

    Daniel picks his drink up and necks the last half of it. “I have not,” he says, “stepped on him, as of yet.”

    “But you want to.”

    “I think so?” Daniel puts the empty glass back on the table and scoots it out of their immediate limb radius. “I think I could want to. I want to want to.”

    “There you go,” Louis says, “tell him that. That'll set the mood.”

    Summary

    "Come back to your body, Arun," Louis commands, tugs his hair again, this time hard enough to hurt. He can sense how Armand refocuses. A shudder as teeth scrape bone. Feels like his wrist might snap in his own jaw. Another heartbeat or so and he says, "Okay. Alright - you can stop now."

    An exploration of Louis and Armand's psychosexual dynamic, and the history Armand has endured.

    Summary

    Before the sun rises the two of them lay in bed. Louis sprawled out, Armand curled at the foot of the bed, the loyal creature. It makes him feel small. A kept thing. Cared for, soft silk beneath his cheek. For centuries he was a taken thing. Battered, prodded, paraded. Then he was thrust into power. Just a boy, really. Ancient, yes. Powerful. But all that power had been used for was to be a breakable toy. A gift to be powdered, perfumed, and then bloodied. One who could stitch itself back for the next guest.

    An exploration of Armand and Louis' power dynamics.

    Summary

    Heat pools in Loki’s groin, his own cock stirring with the attention, and the fulness of his bladder adds a new kind of edge to all of it. Loki can’t quite tell if he likes it or not, but he goes with it when Thor pulls him back to bed this time.

    If nothing else, he can wait a little while.

    Summary

    “I need to pee,” Thor responded drowsily, wiping the sleep from his eyes with his knuckles.

    Loki wriggled onto his front, lying on his tummy. He rested his chin on interlaced fingers and gently kicked his legs back and forward.

    “Can I watch?” he asked cheerfully, briefly forgetting why he had been in a strop.

    Thor arched a curious blond eyebrow. “You fancy a peek, do you?”

    “I wouldn’t mind.”
