    Summary

    I don't know how to fucking ask this so I'm just going to say it. Did Armand ever act… different around you? Call himself Arun? Become childlike?

    There is a long pause and Daniel feels a storm of anxiety turn into a knot in his gut.

    Oh. Ah, well, I guess it took him long enough to do that shit around you.

    -- In which Daniel Molloy, companion to the ancient vampire Armand, learns about Amadeo and Arun with some healing along the way.

    Summary

    As a child, Lestat hadn’t been taught what was “beauty”.

    [...]

    So for the first years of his life, Lestat had been ignorant to the concept of “beauty”. Tragic, for when he first laid his eyes on Nicolas de Lenfant, he had no words to properly describe why that boy affected him as he did. As a child no older than a decade, Lestat was too young, too green, too naive, too unlearned to fully appreciate the cosmic weight of what had just happened.

    Or: Nicki teaches Lestat how to be a man.

    Summary

    "Are you fucking him?"

    "What? You are being absurd, Daniel."

    "Am I, Mr. It's Repertory Theatre, Mr. Molloy? You made a point of telling me in Dubai. Let's not forget Tuan and Quang Pham in the back row of a cinema watching, Now, Voyager."

    Armand brings Alex back into the fold. It's easier for Daniel to be jealous than unpack literally anything else that's happened in the last four years.
