My piece for the incredible Blood And Brocade by @thevelvetcompote - another collab with my beloved @hummingbee-o0o!! The result of yours truly going to Bee with big wet dog eyes and whispering “but whAT IF They went to the Carnevale di Venezia together IN COSTUME?”- and oh, bless her whole entire dazzling soul, she DELIVERED. Go read the full fic on her ao3 and please say hi from me!!

post 80's breakup DM. Daniel doesn't remember where this heartache is coming from so he falls back into drugs hard. Armand mourns their relationship, spending hours and hours in the little bathtub from the flat where everything began on divisadero street.

things to look for : they have matching ashtrays. Daniel has the remnants of a vampire bite but Armand also sports a human-shaped bitemark where he was letting Daniel mock-bite him. Hard so see because of the angle but Armand is sporting a black bindi (symbol of mourning) but his hands and feet are still adorning joyful mehndi from when he was with his beloved. The tapes around Armand are all recordings of Daniel's voice. They are both crying.

closeups of Armand's mehndi under the cut !!!

No one has painted me in over 400 years.

I need the Molloys to get some recognition for being out there solving problems.
