Desperate Measures

[This is a ficlet thing requested by i-want-my-iwtv based on my post here. It got a little longer than I expected. It’s Daniel and Armand fighting over giving him the blood. It’s about 1,200 words.]

By my thirtieth birthday, Night Island had started to feel more like a tomb than a palace. Thirty isn’t old, but you have to remember, I was living with a vampire who didn’t age. He’d died at seventeen and could pass, maybe, for twenty-three on a good night when he was dressed in sharp clothes and cut his hair short.

And yet I was spending more time in front of the mirror, plucking tiny gray hairs from my head. I was losing my stamina: staying up all night started to cost me in ways Armand could never have understood. My body ached in strange places. Recovery from whirlwind travel or a massive drunk took longer and longer. Tiny lines etched themselves across my face. The gap between our appearances widened.

That first one, though. That is amazing. Louis is like “he’s not getting it.” And Daniel is smoking and thinking “JFC I HEAR YOU OKAY. I’m just thinking maybe you’re wrong.” 

VC SECRET SANTA REMINDER:

vcsecretsanta:

If you have any questions about details regarding what your person is wanting as their gift, please direct them to the ask box on this page or the ask box of a moderator rather than going to the individual, anonymously or not.  The reason for this is that anon messages can only be answered publicly, and although you are technically only filling for once person, we want to keep any information about the various gifts under wraps for EVERYONE until December 24.

Of course, if you are gifting for vagabonddaniel or merciful-death, please send your questions to the opposing moderator’s ask box rather than this group page, as both of us see all asks sent here. 🙂

That said, if you are wanting to go on anon and just send some nice messages to the person you are filling for until Christmas Eve, go ahead!  That’s always awesome.  Just no details about the present you’re making or who you are.

ooc: You know, the world premiere of the musical was in SF–which for non-broadway weirdos means they do sort of a test run of the show before heading to Broadway–and the version I saw was pretty gay. But I have no idea what they changed when they went to NYC. Sad it didn’t do well. Loved the cast so much.

Yes, I was aware it was very well-received in SF! Hence my excitement when it was announced that it would come to NY.

Yeah I don’t know exactly what they cut, only that a lot was cut, and that the show I saw was so… bare… it just seemed very stripped down. Sets and things were not so glamorous, the singing seemed kind of limited in a way… I think there is a recording of the SF show somewhere on youtube, I should watch it for comparison.

Fortunately garama must have seen it, bc he did some fanart that was directly inspired by the musical:
