    Summary

    “I said I’m fine, Alice,” Daniel snaps, and time itself grinds to a halt.

    Not literally. Ha. The things you have to specify with vampires. Daniel wishes he could laugh, but the sound is stuck somewhere in his throat, along with his heart. Now, of course, his hand chooses to be perfectly still.

    Why the fuck did he say that?

    daniel keeps slipping up and mistaking armand for his ex-wife and the more he looks back on his memories, the less reliable they get. he's pretty sure he married alice molloy, but how do you marry a woman who apparently never existed?

    armand is armand about it.

    Summary

    ISO: Carer to look after my father for 8 weeks this summer.
    Dad is 71, early stage Parkinson’s disease, broke his hip 6 weeks ago. No signs of cognitive decline; mostly needs help with household tasks (cooking, light cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping), getting dressed, showering, changing cat litter/general cat care, getting to and from appointments.
    Please know what you are getting into; Dad is physically more or less in good health but awful at accepting his limitations, unnecessarily mean, generally uncooperative, and largely nocturnal. Imagine yourself caring for a feral raccoon that is convinced it’s going to write another book, then subtract everything that is cute about raccoons.
    $20/hour, roughly 4 hours a day. Must be able to pass a background check and lift 50 lbs. Patience of a saint not required but preferred.

    Summary

    He’s sitting on a beach he hates, trading shitty jokes with a centuries-old monster whose body count would put Ed Gein to shame and who is almost certainly also plotting to turn him into a flesh lampshade.

    “Don’t be dramatic,” Armand says, picking up on that thread, “I do wish you’d stop returning to that.”

    Summary

    Six months after his transformation, Daniel is slowly adjusting to his new life of immortality. The book tour for his bestselling biography - which everyone thinks is fiction - doesn't distract him from his increasing loneliness.

    When Armand starts showing up at the locations Daniel visits, he brings a strange sense of deja vu with him. Though he knows better than to entertain the manipulative bastard, Daniel can’t shake the feeling that Armand’s visits are motivated by more than a maker checking in on his fledgling. And, Daniel being Daniel, he means to find out what it is.

    ------------

     

    If you like messy Devil's Minion dynamics, Daniel confused by emerging memories of a past he didn't know he'd had, Armand being creepily ethereal, and a dollop of philosophy thrown in for good measure, you're going to enjoy this.

    Summary

    "You called me psychotic", Ryder says, "when I first met you."

    Ryland frowns. It’s not the answer he expected. “I think you’ve got a screw loose."

    There is laughter in Ryder’s eyes.

    “You done talking yet?” he asks.

    "Maybe."

    *
    or,

    Ryland Grace doesn't really do sex. Tom Ryder doesn't really do feelings. And yet.
