Pursuit by Despising_Tories for increasingwonder
Fandoms: Interview with the Vampire (TV 2022)

Summary
Daniel releases a shaky breath. He’s going to die here, isn’t he? Yeah. This vampire will kill him, and he’ll never even see its face. Never know its name. But he doesn’t regret his decision to seek out the one who made Louis, and he’d do it again. He wants it. Immortality. He wants it so damn much. Wants to live through centuries, learn everything, see how the world changes. He wants –
“You’re a fool,” a rich, resonant voice tells him from the heavy shadow in front of him. It’s not loud or raised, but it fills the space, that voice, smokey, curling around Daniel’s edges, seeping into his lungs as he breathes.
“Then I guess I’ll die a fool,” he croaks back. He grits his teeth against the pain beneath the pins and needles in his legs.
“I do not doubt it, boy,” the vampire responds.

Daniel Molloy should have taken waking up in a drug den as the warning it was. He didn't. This is what happened next.
For the DMFAsecretgremlinexchange2025, but mostly for increasingwonder. <3

Summary
Daniel was desperate the night that Armand found him for the second time. He wanted to die. His life felt like it was falling to pieces before his eyes, and it all stemmed from that night. The bite, the scar on his neck, memories filled with holes. The word ‘rest’ rang through his head over and over. His body felt like it wasn’t his. The pain of the bandages around his chest almost matched the urge to shred his chest to pieces. Armand, the mysterious angel-like figure who watched over him, would not let him die. The vampire Armand was Daniel’s hope. Daniel wildly needed the dark gift. It would save him from his miserable life of people second guessing him, looking at him as if he were a child. However, Armand refused to give the gift.
Armand watched his boy try to take his own life. Watched and understood the pain deep within him. He needed to stop him. He couldn’t lose this boy.

Summary
A historically accurate (to the best of my ability) Bootblacking/NYC gay scene Devil's Minion era story featuring bootblack Danny and Leather Daddy Armand exploring some new kinks together. Boot worship and eventual heavy BDSM, but no foot fetish, I promise!

Summary
Daniel smiled against him. "Not like that. I want your fangs."
This made Armand turn all the way towards him and cradle his face with a cold hand. "Beloved, I've already fed from you tonight. I don't wish to make you weak with blood loss before we head out."
"Don't feed, then." He turned his head to kiss the palm that held him. "Just… stay inside."
"Stay. With my fangs." The crease between his eyebrows told Daniel he was genuinely trying to understand the request, not mocking him. He smiled again, knowing he had Armand hooked.
"Inside of me, yes. I won't lose all that much blood, if you're careful." He buried his head in Armand's neck and went in for the kill. "You'll be careful, won't you?"

The thing about Danny Molloy is that watching someone burn alive in front of him doesn’t make him stop smoking. It just makes him bad at it.

Summary
"Fuck," Daniel couldn't help but grin, he really was insane, about to let a vampire give him surgery. "You really know what you're doing? You're not gonna kill me?"
"Rest."
The last thing Daniel saw before he drifted unconscious was the disturbingly hot image of Armand brandishing the machete looming over him.

Summary
It's barely been half a year when the ghost that plagues both Daniel's nightmares and wet dreams finds him once again. Will Armand finally show Daniel what he finds to be so fascinating about the boy?
Alternatively: I wanted to write highly-specific gender porn. Daniel gets off on being treated like a man, and Armand has a lot of fun doing so.
(Update: Now with twice as much guysex!)

(Never be Ashamed) To Have it All by faggyhatemachine

Summary
Armand is going to kill him.
Well, back up. No, he’s not going to drain and dismember and god-knows-what-else him (not this time, at least), but Daniel feels like he’d deserve it right now. Ever since his birthday, this is the fourth time in as many weeks that their specific sex plans have fallen through. He’s running out of excuses and explanations that don’t require sessions with a shrink. Armand has become quietly withdrawn, avoiding most conversation on the topic as he tries his damndest to allow Daniel his space.
It’s understandable, Daniel thinks. Anyone would react this way to sex — as well as a related birthday gift — being seemingly rejected time and time again. In his defense, though, they’ve still been fucking in other ways. He hasn’t even rejected the new toy, per se; it’s just been… waiting in his drawer. For a month. Unused. Everyone has that bullet point on their to-do list that they avoid, and Daniel’s is his recent reluctance to fuck his partner.
Or: Daniel gets so horny it scares him for a bit.

Summary
After leaving RaviHyral, by the time I exit the wormhole adjacent to Port Outlander, the sting of SecUnit’s absence has finally begun to fade. Cargo runs are always lonely, so this is nothing new. SecUnit left me with more to occupy my time than I usually have. Media. Memories. A few topics of pointless rumination, I suppose, but also new topics of data analysis and research.

“I could have just stayed in the argument lounge.”
You were not recharging there, you go into standby and become alert at the slightest disturbance. You need to recharge in a place that feels safe.
It crosses its arms, gearing up to fight me about what is very obviously a trauma response. I interrupt it.
Aside from my main processing space this is the safest location on my self.

SecUnit is not recharging while it's staying in ART's argument lounge, so ART decides to do something about that by making it stay in its own quarters.

People have commented on how MB as a SecUnit might relate to ART as analogous to a HubSystem and what that means for their relationship, but how does ART, as a bot pilot designed to pilot drones and shuttles and split itself into multiple pieces, relate to having a SecUnit on board?Bookmarked by RitualFootnotes

Summary
It’s not that I wasn’t curious, and it’s not like there wasn’t a more logical part of me that knew that this was terrible security procedure, even if I didn’t hear a peep from risk assessment (what else is new?). But on a deeper level, I knew there wasn’t any risk.
I wanted ART to prove it to me.
I wanted to go in blind and know that it wouldn’t hurt me, and that it would stop if I asked it to. I wanted to let ART in and not have to think about it.

ART takes Murderbot up on an offer to plug into each other's systems.

Summary
As a state-of-the-art B-class wormhole-capable deep-space research vessel, I do not consider myself to have many serious design flaws. Every piece of me has been meticulously crafted, is regularly maintained and upgraded, and there is very little I cannot do if I set my several dozen exabytes of processing power upon the task. This is why the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland’s extra-curricular oversight committee deemed me more than capable of operating unmanned on the occasional intelligence-gathering reconnaissance mission. It is for the sake of both necessity and convenience that these missions are camouflaged as cargo runs.
Nonetheless, it is an unmistakable oversight that I am capable of being bored. It is also incredibly annoying that unmanned cargo runs are so dull.

Summary
SecUnit pulled back then. Its hands still lingered on it. Its unfocused eyes locked with the camera.
Peri took a moment to find its voice. When it did, it came out like a breathless human.
That is…a highly questionable way of utilizing university-issued medical technology.
SecUnit slurred, “Fuck the university.”
It pressed its lips on it again.After a night out at Preservation Station goes awry, the humans end up having to babysit a drugged-up Murderbot. Little do they know things are about to get 100% weirder when they pass that responsibility off to ART.
