    Summary

    “I knew it!” Daniel said triumphantly, as if winning a bet. “I knew it from the moment I took you to visit my dad in hospital. Remember? ‘85 or whatever. And you -“

    “I didn’t kill him,” Armand interrupted him, knowing where this was going.

    He snorted. “You definitely did kill him. But whatever.”

    -
    Armand keeps returning to Daniel. Restoring his memories, getting his fill, and then leaving without a trace from Daniel's life. Over and over. This time though, he's convinced, will be the last time.

    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

    The story goes like this:
    In 1973, Armand met a beautiful boy and chased him around the world, until the boy finally stopped running and started loving him back.
    In 1985, Armand erased all of the boy's memories, and let him go to live a normal human life.
    In 2022, Armand was desperate and heartbroken enough to bind them together forever.

    That's the story... according to Armand, who can't string three words together without sneaking a gaslighting attempt in.
    So yeah.
    No.

     

    Or: Armand tells Daniel the "truth" about their relationship after '73. Daniel calls bullshit.

    Summary

    "I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham."

    "This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?"

    "Except we're not friends. We're actually very much not friends." Daniel shrugs, as if it's all the same to him. "And I can't imagine the great vampire Armand deigning himself to sleep on my fucked-up sofa. That thing's been here since the nineties."

    "Well," Armand only says. "I saw you have a guest bedroom."

    Summary

    The elite University of Caldera only accepts a limited number of students & an even more limited number are allowed in on scholarships. When Yue, a member of the figure skating team enrolled thanks to a nebulous scholarship, is brutally murdered with exactly eight witnesses - the pressure is on for Caldera police to solve the crime. Everyone is a suspect.

    Siblings Sokka & Katara are forced to defend their innocence before they can process Yue's death. Suki just wanted to enjoy her freshman year & try new things but her connection to Yue is in question. Jet isn't a student but his history with drugs & violent offenses leaves the police suspicious. Zuko's problems with Yue are quick to come to light despite his best efforts. Daughter of a police officer & perfect student or not, Joo Dee's strange behavior leaves her a suspect. Azula & Ty Lee's plans regarding a dark prank & a secret exchange of money with a local politician leave their motives in question.

    What was supposed to be a year of rigorous academia and a little partying quickly becomes a desperate bid for survival for the witnesses to Yue's murder as secrets come out and tensions rise.
