    Summary

    “No more doctor’s appointments,” he says to Armand, who’s perched in one of Daniel’s squashy armchairs, scrolling listlessly on his iPad. “But maybe we should book you in with one. When’s the last time you had a prostate exam?”

    “Ha,” says Armand, without looking up. “Why, are you offering?”

    Or: when Daniel gets turned into a vampire, Armand gets turned back into a human. It’s not going well.

    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

    The Boosh is on the verge of breaking up for good, but an unexpected and impossible journey to the Zooniverse may teach Julian and Noel how to better appreciate their creations, and each other. Originally posted to Boosh Slash Haven on LJ in 2006-2008.

    ETA: I recently realized that large chunks of this fic were missing due to my own carelessness, specifically at the ends of parts 3, 4, and 5. This has since been fixed, so if you've read this fic once and were confused, please re-read! thx.

    Summary

    Daniel is back to being a struggling journalist after recovering from another drug relapse in his sunset years. He works as a massage therapist to pay the bills between writing gigs. He hopes to impress a new client and secure significant extra income, but gets more than he bargained for when his assumed client directs him to massage his uptight, stressed, and handsome boyfriend Armand instead.

    They quickly develop an inappropriate relationship and mutual obsession that goes far beyond the massage table and threatens the familiar, but unsatisfying status quos of both their lives: a stifling relationship as a “kept” boyfriend for Armand and a dead-end career that might not be so dead-end for Daniel.

    Summary

    ‘I want to write about you,’ Daniel finally says. It's true.
    ‘Based on what you've shown me, I'd prefer you didn't.’
    ‘But you'd like someone to write about you.’
    ‘I'm not even twenty-five yet, I scarcely require a biographer.’

    *******
    Daniel Molloy has been living in New York for nearly ten years but his career is a non starter, taking assignments from a wire agency to fund his drug habit. One of these assignments leads him to the De Romanus Balletics Company where he meets the enigmatic, beautiful principal dancer, Armand. Daniel thinks he might be able to grow closer to the object of his affection and advance his career, resulting in a spiral of sex, drugs and (ballet) dancing.
