you're all stressing about the stalking thing. and i think its actually the perfect way to ease the story towards 'armand and daniel were in a relationship for years and then armand wiped his memories'. like time and time again they've brought up armands mind wiping abilities.

also, notice how all the events armand mentioned were post 1985 (1990 with the student, 2002 at his daughter's graduation). 1985 is the year we've been speculating their relationship ended and armand wiped his memories, instead of in the book where armand turns daniel. anyway the timeline still matches perfectly.

and another thing, what if armand is convinced daniel will never remember their past relationship because he can't get into daniel's head anymore?

and maybe instead hes trying to get daniel to fall back in love with him in the present. how much more insane and glorius would it be if daniel fell back in love with armand with no memory of their past relationship? and then the reveal of their past relationship? imagine if that's what solidified their relationship in the present. anyway it's all speculation.

Until I met you.

big fan of daniel going completely off the rails while shouting "im nORMAL i am NORMAL im A NORMAL MAN" the whole time

i got commissioned to do another excerpt from the Devil's Minion chapter of Queen of the Damned and it was So Much Fun these two are insane

chapter excerpt under the cut:

Eddie comes back from the dead (handwave handwave, idc how) and moves in with Steve while he and Nancy continue dating long distance

stancy are happy-ish in that they do love each other properly by now, just Not Like That - it's unspoken but they both know it about themselves and have their own insecurities about it. kind of a "I'm clearly broken but this is the closest I'm ever going to get to The Real Thing so I'm clinging to it"

steddie are falling in love back in Hawkins while Nancy's out in New York being a cool journalist, and Steve is ofc oblivious to his own feelings while Eddie is pining away knowing stancy are together

then Nancy encounters the concept of aromanticism and bursts into tears of relief at her NY kitchen table. she immediately gets in the car and heads for Hawkins, because Steve deserves to know, and Nancy's no coward

meanwhile, Eddie decides to leave town to save himself and Steve has a dramatic last minute sexuality crisis, confessing his love as Eddie's on his way out the door

Meanwhile, Eddie is a thief, part of Hopper's crew, and they are planning to invade the castle during the wedding to steal whatever they can, since most of the guard is going to be too busy taking care of the ceremony; security everywhere else on the castle will be way easier to fool that way.

Hopper gives orders to all his crew members about what they're supposed to take and where to find them. They've studied the castle thoroughly for the past few months; everyone is more than ready when the wedding day finally comes.

One by one, everyone in the crew gets back to their meeting location safely and with the itens they were supposed to steal and Hopper is overjoyed that his plan is turning out to be a success.

Until Eddie finally shows up.

With Prince Steve trailing behind him.

Everyone is so shocked that no one says a word, the silence deafening for a bit too long and then Hopper at last finds his voice again.

"I sent you to steal the crown jewels, not the fucking prince, Eddie!!"
