Summary
Roman Roy was a sick fucking animal. A twitchy uncentered mess of a man who always gets it wrong.
But his dad had said he needed him. Late at night, in the half-dim light, shortly after his siblings had proven, once again, that solidarity was not their priority.
--
A self-indulgent Roman character study from like, mid season 3 to the end of season 4 episode 6. -

Summary
There’s a beat of supremely awkward silence.
"I've offended you,” Armand says. “My apologies. I crossed a line.”
Yeah, you fucking did.
“No, that’s – it’s fine. I’ll just need my accountant to crunch the numbers on that one, is all.”
Jesus H. Christ, Molloy, what are you doing, you absolute nutjob?
In which Daniel's best customer asks to meet in person.

Summary
Daniel is sprawled out across the bed, loose-limbed and lazy, somehow filling all the open space it has to offer and leaving Armand to nestle into the gaps. His cheeks are flushed, blood pooling like it knows what comes next. Maybe it does. Armand was reading about classical conditioning the other day. About dogs who become accustomed to getting food when their handler rings a bell.
Perhaps Daniel is the dog, Armand’s teeth sharp bells reverberating in his veins. Or perhaps Armand is the dog, Daniel’s blood a song rattling in his ears. He has been a dog before. He runs his tongue along the bow of Daniel’s collarbone, gathers the salt-sweat there and imagines what it tastes like because Daniel does.
Armand remembers he loved Daniel, once, and that Daniel loved him. Or a version of them did, at least. It isn't his intention to go back to that, but it's not not his intention, either. Such is the prerogative of an immortal: to hold two contradicting desires simultaneously. If nothing else, it passes the time while he waits for this miserable interview to end.

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.- Language:

Summary
In his early years with Louis, Armand favored control and voyeurism over relinquishing aspects of his body to his bed partners. But he and his Master Louis de Pointe du Lac had found a unique game that provided them with the best of both worlds. One where Armand controlled when and how his body was available so that Louis could take what he wanted when he wanted once the appropriate subtle signals were given. And for Daniel, Rashid would give much of himself over before the old man discovered the rules of this new game Rashid and Louis had come up with.
