That nonnie gave me a new ship to think about with the betrothed x step sibling 😈 thank you. I shall no longer be normal about this. This is also one I would love to be in the middle of. Like the meat of a sandwich

This is me right now ^

JDIOSAIOJSADOISDJIOSDA It would legit be the poly ship that spear heads the enemies to lovers (or at least ambivalent to lovers) trope on GOD. the other poly ships are like...

aide/pavel: if anything happens to you, ill kill everyone in this room and myself

starling/z: everyone else pisses us off but you

quincy/v: we're SUPER codependent but we're really hot about it. also rich <3

a/d: we're childhood friends but you make us act up. stop that.

then betrothed x step sibling is just. "god you piss us off. now hold my hand."

Vampire Fest Kinktober Day 10: Coffin Sex

Forbidden Desires [AO3] Armand/Daniel - Explicit - 3,801 words

Armand gets a new coffin and Daniel wants to see it. And the room down in the cellar where Armand sleeps. Armand finally agrees and things get hot and heavy.

Written for @vampirefest' Kinktober, Day 10, "Coffin Sex." Thank you so much for hosting this event!

Excerpt:

“It’s my house. You can’t keep me out,” Daniel said. The argument was weak, he knew. The Villa and Night Island were in his name on paper, yes, but it was Armand’s creation, his design. 

Armand stood rigid, his arms folded over his chest. His auburn hair had been left its natural length and curled around his pale face. “It’s for your own protection, Daniel. As I’ve explained countless times, we cannot be trusted in our sleep.” 

Daniel glanced at the door behind Armand, the one that led down to the cellar and the hidden rooms verboten to him. Including the room where Armand slept during the day. The little keypad beside it sat idle. If Daniel entered the wrong code, it would blink red. Three failed attempts would lock it down for who knew how long. 

“I’m not asking to go down there in the daytime,” Daniel said. He buzzed with desire and need. He’d been thinking about the rooms downstairs all day. 

A new coffin had been delivered last night, the delivery men leaving the crate in the living room, believing it to be some antique valuable. Armand had moved it down below himself while Daniel had still been sleeping. He’d hadn’t even gotten to see it, only the empty crate. “I just want to see it.” 

Daniel felt a soft pressure in brain: Armand in his mind. Daniel thought deliberately about how desperately he wanted to know how Armand looked in the coffin, to have a mental image of where he was during daylight hours. It was only fair, after all. Armand spent plenty of time in Daniel’s bed. 

“What harm could it do?” Daniel asked.

There are lines that should not be crossed. 

Daniel laughed at the thought that had come right into his mind. He couldn’t help it. Armand said the funniest things sometimes. “Christ, Armand. Your fangs are in my throat and your hand is on my cock every goddamn night, what the hell are you talking about? Lines! I’m just asking to see where you sleep.” 

Armand stared for a long moment, and then dropped his arms. Daniel could see his hesitation. 

“Just once,” Daniel pleaded. 

Armand sighed heavily. “Fine. Once.” 

Elation danced through Daniel. Finally! He’d been eager to see the cellar since they’d moved in and now finally he could see where his vampire lover slumbered when the sun came up.

I love making a gag character for D&D, forgetting they’re just a gag character, and then take a step back to look at the original ref

i was preparing a wet specimen one day and my dad was like this reminds me of my work buddy who ties dollar store balloons to roadkill and watches them fly away. and i had to drop everything for a second and say no. no i dont think this is like that

I think we need to appreciate this part of Brennan Lee Mulligan's WIRED interview a lot more:

"The evangelical right in this country needs to manufacture outrage to hold onto its voting block. [The satanic panic about DnD] was arbitrary, as the targets of their outrage always are. Fight the power."

One of the peak Armandaniel dynamics for me is how every time Armand cries (usually as a result of fighting with Daniel or panicking about his impending death), Daniel’s first instinct is to bully him and make him cry harder but he quickly realizes he absolutely cannot stand to see him suffer and immediately steps in to kiss it better 🥺 My man folds so fast he goes from “are those TEARS? for ME? lmaooo what a baby” to “lord he’s really going for it… oh. oh. oh baby shhh come here it’s okay” 🫂

So I don’t think Daniel’s first instinct when Armand cries is to bully him. I think it’s the opposite, actually. I think he's combative up until that point, and then the tears stop everything. But I think we're mostly on the same page.

Armand and Daniel have a really interesting dynamic when they fight. Like they really are just any other couple, you know? And I’m sure they fight about the usual couple things: Daniel wants to leave a party earlier than Armand, Armand wants to steal a car and drive to see some landmark he heard about and Daniel is too tired. Daniel left his dirty socks on the floor (again), Armand accidentally left the stove on when he left for the day, “You wanted to watch this, let’s sit down and watch it!” That kind of thing. The normal crap couples fight about. I think the most interesting thing about them is, at their core, they are just normal guys in a relationship trying to figure each other out and how they fit together, and one just happens to be a 500 year old immortal. 

But things change in the mid-80s when Daniel starts to really panic about his mortality, his aging, his fear of death. And look, I love Daniel, I do think he’s gentle and kind and affable, but I also think he’s strong-willed, sarcastic, and he fights dirty. The thing about couples like Armand and Daniel is that they know each other really well and that means they know exactly where to stick the knife and how to twist it, and I have zero doubt Daniel was an expert at this. It’s not what I would call bullying (I think Armand gives it back just as artfully and hurtfully) but it is intense and terrible. 

I mean this is how these fights are described: “Ugly fights, terrible fights, finally, Armand broken down, glassy-eyed with silent rage, then crying softly but uncontrollably as if some lost emotion had been rediscovered which threatened to tear him apart… No resolution in words was ever reached. It would end with the embrace, the kiss, the blood stinging him, the shroud of dreams closing over him like a great net, hunger! I love you! Give me more! Yes, more. But never enough.”

Clearly Daniel is pushing him beyond all his limits and hurting him. Daniel is desperate and flailing. And we only ever get Daniel’s perspective on this and the fact that his telling focused on Armand’s pain in these fights—not his own—says a lot about his guilt and remorse for how they went down. He is aggressive and trying to get through to him and as long as Armand remains stoic and angry, Daniel can fight back. 

But—and this is where I disagree with you—I get the impression that the tears are where it ends. It’s horrible to watch someone you love suffer and watching Armand cry literal blood tears has to hit Daniel in the gut. He can’t stand to see him suffer. They’re both suffering, is the thing. They’re both wounded and hurt and desperate for the other to understand their position but they’re at an impasse. And the pain comes from the fact that they both love each other and neither is willing to cede any ground. 

So once the tears come, then yes, it’s “Come here, damn it, I didn’t mean it, let’s snuggle* this out.” 

*Or a more R-rated thing. Or both. Why not both?

Thank you so much for the ask, anon!! I do think this is one reason why writing them fighting is so angsty and delicious! They’re both good (awful) at it and that makes it really interesting. And there’s so much potential for hot, hot makeup sex. 

And of course, this is just my read, and my read is no more valid than anyone else’s.
