IWTV FICS I READ THIS MONTH

- two on the road and one at the resurrection by gaypiratedivorce ‘After a month in Dubai, Daniel Molloy is back home and miraculously alive, eager to get to work on his first draft. The vampire Armand has other plans.’

This was so good I read it instead of sleeping for 2 nights. Old man Daniel!!!! My guy!! Perfect old Daniel/Armand fic. Also loved the writing style.

- Truth and Reconcilliation by GrayGiantess. ‘Armand moved through the dark of the penthouse feeling like a ghost.

The interview was over. And Louis was gone.

Daniel was still there – a small miracle – but Armand had been avoiding him, afraid he would leave too.

In which Armand and Daniel have an important and somewhat overdue conversation about the past and the future.’

Another old man Daniel/Armand. It’s my favourite thing atm. I’m re reading it right now.

Sequel to this:

- Cheerful Oblivion by vitamin_kay ‘Louis de Pointe du Lac, the wealthy successor to America's largest liquor distributor, stuns the public by pleading guilty to the murder of his own brother, Paul. As investigators scramble to uncover the motive behind this heinous act, Louis remains tight-lipped, offering no answers to questions that surround the case. Will Louis serve his sentence in peace and repay his debt to society, or will his enigmatic cell mates help him embrace the monster that is memory and fight for his freedom?’

Lestat/Louis, SO MUCH ANGST THIS KILLED ME. Loved the background characters so much.

-Remembrance by bandedbulbussnarfblat ‘AU of season 1 where Daniel remembers the devil's minion era.’

In my notes I wrote HEAVY FUCKING ANGST. IIRC this one includes Daniel almost killing himself from an overdose and Armand taking his memories.

Anyway come and talk to me about these fics!!!! I’m loving all the amazing writing- we are being BLESSED

Devil's minion fic rec list!

these are just a few recs I was putting together for some friends. this list isn't exhaustive, it's just what I've clicked on and enjoyed so far. the tag is updating at lightning speed right now (bless you all) so there is absolutely a bunch of amazing fics I haven't read yet!

btw these are majority show canon. I haven't read the books. also I made categories that made sense to me, if they don't make sense to you don't worry about it just ignore them lol

Post season 2

Dubai penthouse immediately after (turning daniel)

hold me like water (christ, hold me like a knife) by sahwen (6.7k) the vulnerability of armand in this one is so intriguing. I really loved it

in the detail(s) by infinitevariety (6.7k) a favorite line so far ‘armand curled up like a dying spider’. that's exactly him right after louis leaves

The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning by trinityofone (1.9k) daniel gets turned, but with an added power

Post turning daniel

two truths and a liar by andrealyn (9.9k) daniel goes on a book press tour and armand turns up

what's it called when a young guy pays old men for their company by chaosandteo (1.3k) daniel's daughters find out he's a homewrecker 

Couch Surfers' Honor by tihsho (1.3k) two things in my head: 1. armand curled around daniel like a creature 2. the way daniel stops drinking to bitch at armand I'm shrieking 

During s2 (alternate canons)

how memory makes monsters into myth by blueskiddoo (5.9k)  alice is armand theory, wip but I'm BIG EYES over it. I love the set up so far

the spiral is unspooling by reedroad (60k) wip but pretty hefty already (60k!). the devils minion chapter incorporated into the past of the show, with daniel uncovering his memories of armand. very good read with lush world building. my fav thing in this is how daniel is written, and his daughters popping up in the fic. 

Past hijinks (post s2 canon)

you're sharp alright by LuckyDiceKirby (4.4k) mid 2000's daniel gets picked up by a weirdo at a bar :) it's a pattern

icarus' life has only just begun by andrealyn (15.9k) daniel gets de-aged (on purpose by armand) he wants to live a life with him from the beginning again 

[limonmelon]

armandaniel reclist

Because I really have to start putting these somewhere and because I need everyone to read these and give them the love they deserve:

outcast of all this night by gaypiratedivorce - "After a month in Dubai, Daniel Molloy is back home and miraculously alive, eager to get to work on his first draft. The vampire Armand has other plans." first in an insanely good (and complete!) series.

two truths and a liar by andrealyn - "Facing down the press junket for his book, Daniel Molloy is prepared to hype up his hit novel. He's less prepared to have Armand crash the tour to play bodyguard and doting assistant and he's definitely not ready to have his secrets spilled on a world stage because Armand wants to play games. The longer he sticks around to torment Daniel as he chases him across the country, the longer he stays. So, who's really winning this game?"

to the edge of the earth by andrealyn (you can tell I love her Daniel voice) - "There's nowhere that Armand can run where Daniel won't find him. Using the Talamasca's information, his own dogged determination, and eternity sprawling ahead of them, Daniel's going to find his maker and figure out why Armand keeps running. When he catches him (and he will), he's going to prove that it's going to be the two of them, forever, and that he's going to love Armand the way no one has before."

and then what? by andrealyn - "The droning hum of Louis' boredom is going to drive Armand mad. Instead of accepting it, Armand seeks out the kaleidoscope chaos that is Daniel Molloy's mind to learn why he's so special, so fascinating, so interesting. Every city he finds him in, he learns more before he makes Daniel forget. Every city, Armand grows a little more addicted. And every city, Armand does something he's not supposed to do -- falls a little more in love and eager to give Daniel the memories of who they are together."

his thoughts were red thoughts by spqr - "Daniel’s barely thirty; he can’t fathom one century, let alone five. It’s probably a wonder Armand doesn’t spend his time skulking in a cave somewhere, muttering to himself, covered in the blood and muck of his innocent human victims."

care and keeping by katplanet - "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.”" With some really great Louis/Daniel friends who love each other and also fuck too.

Endearments by Nothing_But_Paisley - "Daniel never compared him to a Botticelli angel or a Bernini cherub, never called him a demon or an imp. Such images scarcely existed within that wonderfully secular modern brain of his. Daniel was entirely a creature of the flesh."

open up your skull, i'll be there by typefortydeductions - "He shakes his wrist free and brings it to his mouth, licking up the trail of blood, his eyes never leaving Armand’s. He turns, and walks away, and spends a restless night in his own bed with his dick half-hard and the memory of Armand’s blood and Armand’s hands and Armand’s final whispered words before he upped and left Daniel sprawled newborn on the floor." this series floored me it's so good please read it.

mystic seaport is that way by exastris_scientia - "Daniel should really get more sleep and stop getting himself into these situations..." this series has it's boot on my throat. written pre-Season 2.

bend your dream with the road | VOTE TO END OTW RACISM by meronicavars - "Daniel is asleep dreaming of his own unreliable recollection of Louis at Polynesian Mary's all those years ago and Armand wants to dive into his dream and wrench Louis out, shake him until he realizes that Daniel is his, Daniel has always been his. Isn’t this something Louis should know? That Daniel was his gift to Armand. Why must you torture me with his presence? He wants to ask. Why would you bring him here if not to punish me?" also part of great series and written pre-Season 2.

the man who wasn't there by obstra - ""I just couldn't bear to lose you and Louis in one day.” Armand is looking away from Daniel now and picking more ferociously at the edge of his sleeve, like he's avoiding something big. He's almost afraid to ask, somehow he can tell this is going somewhere significant “Why would losing me be the same as losing Louis Armand? Just some kid you met decades ago in San Francisco, tortured a little bit then threw aside? Explain to me why. Does this have anything to do with the fact that my memory of the 70s has more holes in it than swiss cheese? I thought it was just drugs but I also thought San Francisco was just drugs and look how that turned out.”"

a haunting just for company by valkyrisms - ""I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham." "This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?""

Simplicity by WendigoDreaming - "Daniel's memory is a gaping hole morphing slowly into the shape of Armand." also part of an ongoing series!

The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning by trinityofone - "He should have left when he had the chance. But he wanted to see how it ended. His mistake. Because the story wasn’t done with him. All at once it was grabbing him by the throat. (A version of Daniel's turning featuring visions, sex, and sexy visions.)"

forever's gonna start tonight by trinityofone (actually just read all their IWTV fic thank you) - "I’ve lost my mind, Daniel thinks, still lavishing kisses to the chest of the creature that killed him. He says the next part out loud: “I fucking hate you. And you hate me. So something is making us do this.” “I don’t hate you,” Armand pants. “You mean nothing to me. Don't stop.”"

more to come!

iwtv fanfic Friday: devils minion era (or close enough)

on display by thisisthefamilybuisness aka @officialclaricestarling; E, 3k.

Armand leans back in her chair and smirks. “There’s nobody here to notice if you absolutely must rut yourself against the seam of your slacks, Daniel; this is a private dining room. Given the sorry state of your thoughts, though, perhaps you’d prefer if I took a seat at the bar and sat you in my lap instead. It would only be fair, of course, every patron deserves a chance to see why I spend millions of dollars and so much of my time indulging you.”

i know a place we can go luminoussbeings aka @gaysie; M, 3k.

“—come out with me,” Daniel’s saying, and Armand blinks. “I know a place—better than this one, I’m telling you. Okay, fine, the drinks are terrible, but if you want to go out dancing—you’ll see. You’ll love it. Guarantee ya.” He smiles winningly, holds out his hand. No, Armand thinks. or: Daniel sees Armand with blood on his face from a kill, thinks he's just some poor abused twink, and decides he needs to show him a good time

cranefucker island circa ‘82 by katplanet; E, 22k

“You doing all right?” Daniel asks him. Armand blinks. “No,” he says. “Most honest you've been with me since I got here,” Daniel says. And then, because it seems like the thing to do, “I can clear out, if you need the place to yourself.” “Whatever you prefer.” Armand's lips look chapped. Dehydration? He ate the kid with the sunglasses, but the smear he left took a lot of bleach to scrub away. Maybe Daniel should - “You won't be harmed,” Armand says, “regardless of your decision.” “You got served divorce papers so hard it left a crater,” Daniel says, “and you're still poking around in people's heads.”

little kidnaps in the dark | End OTW Racism by gaypiratedivorce; M, 150k

The first memory is only the first memory, the first crack —after the dam finally breaks, Daniel tries to make sense of the past unraveling itself in his mind. While continuing to thread the story of Louis's life, he attempts to untangle the questions of his own. But Armand offers no answers, and Louis gives him no straightforward ones. As their histories weave together and the line between journalism and personal chronicle disappears from sight, Daniel struggles to figure out who they were then, what they've become, and why exactly he's been summoned to Dubai.

it's a rollercoaster kinda rush by exastris_scientia aka @keepoffthetardis; E, 5k

He writes more over the next three months than he has in the last year, and he even gets paid for some of it. Not as much as before, but, y’know. He can keep his apartment, so it’s not like he’s complaining. He goes to bed early, gets up late, and actually learns how to cook something edible for once in his life. He’s not even using. It’s normal. It sucks so bad and he’s so fucking lonely. Daniel gets fired from the San Francisco Chronicle and discovers all roads lead not to Rome, but to Armand.

couldn't trust myself to proceed with caution by extrasis_scientia aka @keepoffthetardis; E, 6k.

When he opens the door, Daniel looks up from his drink. Almost every feature on his face has been changed by the twenty years between them and their last goodbye. Every one, that is, except for his eyes. They’re shielded by handsome-looking wire-frame glasses now, but they’re still as blue and sharp as they were the night they met. Their eyes lock, and Armand is astonished to discover all at once that he’s still angry. “You must be Mr. Molloy,” he manages through lips nearly numb. As if he feels nothing at all, Daniel holds out a hand. “Mr. Molloy’s my father. Call me Daniel.” Armand seeks Daniel out in 2003 and gets quite a bit more than he bargained for.

Welcome back to fanfiction friday (or nearly friday est)- thanks @oldbutchdaniel

>prev week

I actually have a theme this week, or kinda theme, which is fic that is book flavored showverse fic

<3 baby, cry baby - babeblox- (E, in progress, 35k) [Minor Danstat, mostly Devil's Minion]

Years after that disastrous interview in San Francisco, Daniel Molloy is working as music journalist in Los Angeles and tasked with interviewing rock 'n' roll's newest enfant terrible, Lestat de Lioncourt.

It wouldn't be an issue, if it weren't for the scar on his neck: two rows of teeth marks, the gnarly outline matching that of Lestat's husband's mouth.

<3 whatever else that touches you - tisphones - (E, Oneshot, 8k)[Lesmand]

"He doesn't care how he'll feel afterwards, doesn't care how much harder it is to crawl back out every time he falls into that bottomless well where nothing exists but the two of them. Doesn't want to think about what it means that he's willing to jump in with both eyes open this time, instead of tripping and falling in when he least expects it.

It doesn't matter. He doesn't care. The Lestat of tomorrow can hate himself all he likes in the wreckage of tonight, but right now he needs it. Needs Armand to take him completely out of his head in that terrifying, intoxicating way only he can."

---

Armand and Lestat go at it on the floor.

<3 little kidnaps in the dark - gaypiratedivorce - (m, complete, 159k)[danloumand in all combos]

The first memory is only the first memory, the first crack —after the dam finally breaks, Daniel tries to make sense of the past unraveling itself in his mind. While continuing to thread the story of Louis's life, he attempts to untangle the questions of his own. But Armand offers no answers, and Louis gives him no straightforward ones.

[bandedbulbussnarfblat]

Hi again.😊 I've run into something... odd? when trying to figure out how to fit all twelve years of Devil's Minion into the show timeline. I'd really like your input.

So I'm trying to make sense of Daniel's "kids-and-marriage" timeline. Alice being his first wife and the car seat thing muddies it up for me.

According to gaypiratedivorce's Chronological timeline on Ao3, (found it through your bookmarks, so thank you❤), car seats became mandatory in America in 1986. The excerpt that Louis reads aloud from Daniel's memoir states: "I am in my Buick, staring in the rearview mirror at my daughter in the car seat, (...). My editor reminds me, it's seven years before car seats are mandatory. My ex-wife reminds me, I never owned a Buick." This means his first daughter was born before 1979. Based on Daniel's comment in 01x06, he was 20 years old in 1973, so he must have been a father by the age of 26.

We don't know whether the ex-wife referenced here is Alice or his unnamed second wife, but we do know that one of them must have been around already to remember what cars he owned (and didn't) at this time.

We also aren't given any indication if he was in any relationship with the mother of his eldest child at this time, or ever.

In 02x02 we learn that Alice told Daniel she was pregnant in 1985. From my understanding this was immediately after she had turned down his marriage proposal, so he and Alice are not married at this point. We are told that Alice was his first wife, so the second marriage happens sometime after this.

This makes the minimum age difference between Daniel's two daughters 6 years. His daughters don't appear to have the same mother, since when talking about Alice telling him she was pregnant in 1985, there was no indication that this would be their second child.

By June 2022, when the second interview takes place, he's twice divorced, with two daughters. His oldest daughter would have to be at least 43 years old when he goes to Dubai, and his youngest would be 37-38.

From 1979 to 1985 the only information we have about Daniel is: 1) he was working, (02x05: "I was never so messed up I couldn't hold down a job"); 2) he is not married; 3) timing of irl. law that might not be the one used in the show indicates that he already has a child, but we know nothing about them or their upbringing. Seems unlikely that he was a single father, but we know nothing about the mother.

Thoughts?

Ok, so I have thoughts on this.

Like, first off, I think Armand was full of shit when he said Louis asked him to make him forget what happened in San Francisco. He said Louis asked three days later, after getting out of the shower. And there is no way he was healed up enough to take a shower in three days, even if he was slurping up Armand's blood often. he was only a vampire for 62 years. less than a century. the sun would burn the shit out of him. I think Louis had to do that thing vampires do in the book, and take a power nap for a few years.

Cue Armand being all alone. And he hates that. Plus, he still has to find out what makes Daniel fascinating. He literally said to Daniel in 2x05 'teach me how to be fascinating'. like that may not be the exact wording, but you know what i mean. so he starts to stalk daniel.

daniel, of course, does not remember him bc Armand literally mind-wiped him. all Daniel has is vague memories about being bitten. so maybe Armand goes on his whole 'i won't kill you as long as i find you interesting' bit. or maybe he says something else entirely different or nothing at all. until eventually they start to talk, and debate, and fight, and fall in love.

i think the chase timeline from the books was shortened, and Daniel and Armand were probably in a relationship by like, somewhere in the back half of 74 or the first half of 75. And I think it probably went from zero to sixty pretty fast.

based on what we know so far, we have no info on Daniel publishing anything from 1974-1978. So I think Daniel and Armand could have had a relationship those four years.

then something happens, and they break-up for awhile. (daniel had this thing about leaving then coming back in the books) so maybe during that time he meets Alice. Maybe even gets genuine feelings for her. And then he gets her pregnant sometime in 78, bc the kid is born by 79.

Daniel remembers a car seat. And while car seats weren't required, General Motors did make one in 1969. Here is a picture of what one looked like in 1977:

And most people didn't really start using them to around the late 70s, when different states started making laws. So Daniel could have a car seat in his car in 79. Likely Alice's idea, not his, since he is literally buying drugs from some guy with his daughter in the car with him. Not dad of the year material.

Here's what I think, at some point Daniel's relationships with Alice and Armand overlapped. He remembers being in a Buick with his daughter in the back seat bc he was with Armand in a Buick at some point. Probably not with his daughter, but it could be possible. (There could be some scenario where he's taking care of the baby alone and Armand shows up and they go on a wacky adventure together. But that scenario probably only exists in my imagination.)

I don't believe Louis was aware of their relationship, bc he showed no real signs of remembering something like that. That means that Armand either hid it from him, or made him forget it. Maybe Louis was asleep through the whole thing, and Armand never told him about it.

Or maybe Louis did wake up. And his waking up put pressure on Armand and Daniel's relationship. Bc Armand would have to divide his time between them. Daniel isn't stupid, he probably figures out there's someone else. And maybe he demands that Armand make a choice. And Armand chooses Louis. But he wants to choose Daniel, only Daniel hasn't given him reason to trust him. Like, Daniel having a kid with someone else may have been enough to end the relationship.

I think the relationship with Alice comes after they break-up some time in 78. In the books, when Daniel becomes a vampire, he's 32 and has left Armand for six months. (It's also 1985 there, but roll with it) The longest he ever had. Some maybe he leaves Armand for an extended amount of time. It doesn't have to be six months, but it's probably at least two or three. And during that time he could have met Alice, been having his rebound fling with her. Then she gets knocked up. So you know, he sticks around for the kid. Kinda sorta. Bc he's still seeing Armand. I think that he would have to know about Louis, to bother starting a relationship with someone else. Bc the book says that him leaving is a thing that happens more than once. So maybe the first time he leaves is bc he finds out about Louis, and he meets Alice and knocks her up. Who knows? I think it's been left vague on purpose so they can tweak things as they need to. Or maybe he just takes up with Alice after leaving Armand 'for good'

I'm not entirely clear on the timeline. But I do believe something happened between Armand and Daniel sometime 1974-1978/79. At that point they either break up and Armand erases his memories.

Or their relationship shifts into an affair on both their ends. Like that line about them being secret lovers from the book is taken literally. Daniel has Alice and Armand has Louis. But they can't quit each other, and keep seeing each other secretly. Daniel proposes to Alice in 85 and she says no. Probably bc Daniel was a shitty boyfriend. As one tends to be when they are in love with someone else.

But he likely does propose bc she's pregnant. After he's 'gotten his shit together' I can imagine his not marrying Alice after getting her pregnant the first time is something that could have caused resentment from Alice. Maybe she implied she wanted Daniel to propose before this. Maybe she didn't trust him bc she suspected he was cheating. But I do think that Daniel didn't propose until after he lost his memories of Armand.

So like, somewhere between 78-85 Daniel and Armand break up for the final time. But exactly when I'm not sure.

But I am 100% sure that Armand is going to fuck that old man. They are going to get together. And I will feel that comes from seeing something I've shipped over two decades kiss on screen. Or like, bite each other.

Rec list - Daniel x Louis

On the occasion of @iwtvfanevents A Meal to Remember which aims to honor fic writers and their work, here is a list of some of my favourite DanLou stories.

nothing left to give you now | gaypiratedivorce. I've read it so many times. Post-Dubai somewhat canon-compliant sexy romance. This author is so good at writing Daniel loving Louis, and if like me you're a sucker for it, you'll love it. And if you're not, it might get you into it. As it did with me!

and he was mine | watertiger. Louis adopts a hands-on approach to help Daniel understand something during their interview. That dance scene lives on in my head.

a ghost is a memory | quensty. The crushing. The longing. Very sweet one-shot.

hand to god | boltcutters. Only one chapter is out right now and I don't know if it'll be updated, but I think everyone should read it and share in The Vision! (detective noir with Daniel as the private eye and Louis as the femme fatale)

[dlsintegration]

hi you..... 1, 12, 32 and 40 for the ask game >:D

Hiiii my angel ​🫶🏻​

When did you fall in love with the show:

Started watching a little bit after it started airing, I don't remember the specific tipping point that made my brain fully snap in two and decide to make my entire life revolve around iwtv but. It has to be the Church scene right . Ep1 is a movie of its own and I loved it from the very first scene but the last 15mn are just everything i'd been missing in my life at the time, I remember literally calling my friend and screaming at her to put it on it was already so bad for me...It's almost surreal to think about that period now but yeah . Immediately fell in love and now well. lestatwhiteshirtclaspedhands.jpg

12. What were your favorites moments of season one?

UGHHH so hard to choose just a few but immediately my mind goes to the Dubai scenes and the insane power dynamics going on in that penthouse... the entire show is so gorgeous and smart and thoughtful but there's something about the moments where you catch a glimpse of what's really simmering beneath the seamless surface and it makes me insane. the best example of that is the honey and pineapple scene the tension is so thick and charged and dangerous and . yeah . it just goes back to how excited I am to actually see Dubai armand outside of his rashid persona. but if we're talking new orleans I really have a soft spot for the scenes Louis shares with Paul and Grace.

32. Is there a specific moment or plot point you're hoping to see next season?

Well, yes! Not going to be super original here but I can't wait to see how they're going to rework Armand and Louis' first meeting as I'm having. well. very specific theories about it. Also the "No pain" scene, obviously, and also very curious about how they intend to integrate the political aspects of post-war Paris into the narrative framework of the show. I'm also equal parts terrified and excited to see Louis and Claudia's falling out happen on my screen because of how genuinely heartbreaking I know it'll be.

And um. Armand torturing lestat in that tower, boot on his neck and all .

40. If you made any fanworks of your own, what are your personal favorites? Throw yourself some flowers!

Hopefully will have more things to feel proud of this year but I'm so happy that House exists and that I've been lucky enough to write alongside some of the people I love and admire most <3

[weather-mood]

So for the bubblegum series will we ever know if Daniel chooses the vampire thing and if he decides to get his memories back?

No, sorry! It’s deliberately open ended and that won’t be resolved. There will probably be more various oneshots but no answers on that front!

[highpriestessofchildsacrifice]

This porn is so so so so so so so good but I also love this meditation on immortality that Armand randomly has while sucking daniel off 🩷

a meal 2 remember: danlou film noir cinematic universe

why is danlou and film noir such a perfect match? well he's a grizzled lonewolf investigator with a troubled past and she's a beautiful mysterious and dangerous figure who re-enters his life at his lowest moment.

quicksilver & mercury by themasterletters: currently awaiting the loumand part 3 but in the meantime this is your chance to catch up on this gothic noir masterpiece that will make you insaneeee.

i'll let you win by gaypiratedivorce: an incredible one shot that made me want 10 more chapters (please i'll only beg and ask 15 times). the danlou is scorching, there are hints about the other characters and just the right degree of ambiguity at the end.

falling by flowerpots: inspired by vertigo, every word of this fic is mesmerizing and i will be setting my alarm for when ch2 comes out.

(and rip to my beloved big sleep inspired au by boltcutters that i hope will return to us some day!!)

ur making me want to get into black sails bc of the gifsets u keep reblogging! i know it’s pretty heavy tho, do u know of anywhere that has content warnings by episode?

actually, yes!! g-d I'm so glad I remembered to bookmark this. gaypiratedivorce on ao3 made a list of content warnings and time stamps here. it does not touch on graphic/gory violence, which is consistently present throughout the series, or execution which appears a handful of times. if there's anything in specific you want to ask about, please feel free to do so!! it IS a very heavy show, and I want it to be enjoyed safely and responsibly
