Daniel Molloy - Mature - 3,360 words

After the events of Memnoch, Daniel senses something is wrong. When he learns that Armand has gone into the sun, his grief threatens to destroy him.

I wrote this months ago but was never sure when to post it. I looked back and my first fic last year was another angst fest so I guess maybe let's start the year with some heavy angst and sadness again. But never fear! You know me, I'll have some fluff soon. I'm writing some stuff for Valenfangs and I'm excited about that.

Short Preview:

Then he saw the news.

“Miracles,” they called them, as grainy footage showed an immortal burst into flame in the light of the sun. It was not Armand, he learned later—his immolation had not been captured by the news crews, as the cameras had been busy chasing the Veil. Damn that fucking veil! And damn these assholes on the news acting like these immolations were some evidence of god.

Daniel had no idea what was happening. They had to be vampires, surely, and that must have been what he’d felt. But why they were going into the sun for others to witness, he couldn’t begin to guess. He saw the reports of the Veil, but how it connected to his kind, he didn’t know.

And it wasn’t like he knew these immortals. Certainly they were strangers, vampires utterly unknown to him. None of the immortals that he knew would do that!

But he couldn’t shake the unease that had dug into his skin and buried itself in his bones. He called the two recent numbers he had for Armand, one in London, one for a mobile phone. No answer. He needed to talk to him. To see if he knew what was happening. Why it was happening. 

He didn’t pick up. Daniel’s mouth went dry. He needed blood but couldn’t stomach the thought. 

On a whim, he called the phone on Night Island. Got the answering machine. Left a short message. Didn’t think he was there.

But surely he wasn’t one of those on the screen! Armand was terrified of death, perhaps more so than Daniel had ever been. He would never…

He made arrangements to travel to New York.

imagine you loved someone so much that you built them their own luxury hotel mall on an island and filled it with interesting people and material goods to keep him occupied from his vices (just like marius taught you, right?) but, instead of feeling love and safety, he felt like a pet and kept running away. this made you afraid his love was fickle and fleeting, so you took away his memories of you and built a better, less comforting house of safety for your other lover. however, your other lover felt imprisoned, so he brought the former lover back to rescue him, since he was the only person who had ever escaped from you before - why can't they understand this is the only way you know how to love?

Step into my office. Today we are talking about Marius creeping on Benji, treating him like Amadeo 2.0, leaving clothing and jewellery at the Trinity Gate doorstep for him. Taking him on solo outings to classical art galleries while Armand paces at home, anxious and conflicted, until they return. Benji pawns all the gifts to buy Roblox giftcards and Fruity Pebbles vape juice. He says "OK Groomer" everytime Marius opens his stupid mouth. When they get to Botticelli's Annunciation, he yawns and rolls his eyes. Pulls up a picture of Andres Serrano's Piss Christ on his ASUS ROG 9 Pro gaming phone and says "now that's art." Marius' dick shrivels up like the Wicked Witch of the East's feet and falls off. I lay down my chainsaw because I can see Benji Mahmoud has this all under control. The world is healing.
