    Summary

    [UPDATED AND COMPLETE!]

    “There were times in my life when I wondered whether I’d been here at all. Whether it was something I made up— something Marius made up. He took me back, once, as a customer. I didn’t recognize anyone.”
    Daniel leans back against the cushions, runs a hand over the stubble along his jaw. “It happened, Armand. It fucking happened.”
    “Yes.”
    “And you don’t think it stuck around? You don’t think it lingered?”

    [Post-interview, Armand and Daniel go through the files assembled by the Talamasca on Armand's past.]

    Summary

    He is easy to want, but difficult to love, and impossible to like, but Daniel does, his Daniel, he likes him, all the way down to the rot in his marrow; it is the rot he likes most of all, more than anything.

    Armand and sex and the past that clings.

    Summary

    It’s too much for him now, yet despite it all, he feels a familiar sensation building in his loins, a tidal wave that threatens to overwhelm him. “I can’t–” he tries to say, weakly slapping at Daniel’s body. “It’s too much, I can’t do it–”

    “Shh,” Daniel soothes him, relentless in his ministrations. “You can, I know you can, just give me one more, yeah? You’re right at the edge, I can tell, baby.”

    Armand shakes his head, the tears blurring his vision so much that he can barely see Daniel anymore. “It’s so much,” he chokes out thickly. “I can’t, Daniel, there’s nothing left.”

    “S’okay, boss,” he whispers back, pressing a quick, messy kiss to his face. “I’ll help you, okay?”

     

    TLDR: Daniel overstimulates Armand until he cries. That's it.

    Summary

    “Okay. Now, what brought this on, boss? How the hell did you make the intellectual leap from five sexless nights—”

    “It was six.”

    “—to thinking I’m not into you anymore? I’m fascinated.”

    Summary

    Armand has apparently discovered a laundromat. One of those 24-hour joints, with stacks of extra-large machines with chipped white paint, benches polished by millions of asscheeks, and an obligatory flickering fluorescent bulb. A classic. Brings back memories of getting kicked out of the house by a soon-to-be ex-wife. Twice.

    “Okay?” Daniel says, after a moment passes and Armand is still glued to the window, staring with those big lemur eyes of his.

    “Let’s go inside.”

    See, Daniel should have known he didn’t just mean inside the building.

     

    Or: Armand discovers a laundromat and decides to have a spa day; Daniel almost manages not to get in trouble.
