in the new trailer when armand says 'ever since i laid eyes on you i was in love' who do you predict he's talking to? i love how it could legitimately be any of the other main 3
Wellโฆ
Going by the canonical infatuations that would be Lestat.
Louis and Daniel both grow over time or are based in something else, while Lestatโฆ Lestat Armand โimprintsโ on.
I would sayโฆ right about here:
This is not to slight the other relationships! Weโll see how they spin it.
It can of course also be something he tells Daniel (or even Louis) to emphasize meaning.
But I actually think theyโre going to stay very close to the source from what Iโve seen so far.
And if they do then itโs Lestat.
Which would mean that at some point in s2 there will be a very raw moment between them (which actually is only later, in Blood Communion (or the Cinderella moment in TVL)โฆ) that they might have pulled inโฆ

Some parallels with Goyaโs The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters and Yinka Shonibareโs contemporary The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters (Asia). You may recall some of this seasons taglines are Memory is a Monster and Family is a Monster.
BTW Asia in the title of Yinka Shonibareโs work reflects the use of Indonesian Batik prints (spread by British & Dutch colonizers to West Africa) in the manโs 18th century costume.

ILLUSTRATIONS by Morphiria
The 2014 Nissan Altima did not seem like it was on a mission. It came to a complete stop at every sign and navigated the city streets without going above a respectful 35 miles per hour. The horn sat untouched.
The Nissanโs driver, a young man named Luke Lancaster, looked calm, too. Heโd always been good at keeping his wits about him, and the last few years of advanced academic tests had sharpened this skill even further. Unlike a quiet classroom, his car at least provided alternative rock wafting from the stereo to cover up the sound of his own heartbeat. But Radiohead was doing nothing to distract from his frantic thoughts.
Luke kept jerking his head down into his passenger seat, where his phone sat displaying a screenshot heโd taken of his buddy Coltonโs story. โTOOLSHED TONITE,โ the ad said, โIF U WANNA SEE ALL OF IT.โ The โitโ in question was evidently Coltonโs genitals, which were basically on view already; the picture heโd posted depicted him entirely nude save for some strategically placed chains.
Luke wasnโt gay, but he had to admit Colton looked incredible, if you were into the extremely muscular look. When theyโd met two years prior at the start of their Masters program, Colton was slender and rode his bike everywhere. Luke saw him countless times staying late into the evening in the graduate student lounge working on an assignment or paper, but never once lifting heavy weights at the university gym. Even at the start of the current semester, Luke didnโt remember Colton looking any different than he had before. And he certainly didnโt seem like the kind of guy who was going to put on 75 pounds of muscle, drop out of school, and become a stripper who insisted that everyone call him Colt.ย
But as far as he knew, Colton hadnโt stripped publicly yet. Itโd been all private events and bachelorette parties. Luke knew this because heโd had lunch with Colton a week before at Pepperjacks, their go-to sandwich spot. Colton walked in wearing a neon green tank top, his skin the color of overripe mango. Heโd prattled on about how he stifling he thought academia was, how excited he was to finally embrace his hotness and โbecome Colt,โ and how he was ready for the world to see him as a bodybuilding exotic dancer who loved to party and fuck, rather than the studious, skinny cyclist he once was.
And that was why Luke was worriedly zipping across town to make it to The Toolshed, the regionโs only male strip club. Colton seemed to believe that performing for an audience was what would lock him into his new life of hedonism, and he appeared to be excited for that to happen. So when Luke saw the ad go up on social media, he decided heโd go intercept his friend and try to talk him out of making a mistake that heโd regret for the rest of his life.
What Colton was doing made no sense to Luke. For as long as theyโd been in a cohort together, Colton had always come across as thoughtful, well-spoken and, as he had often confided to him in the past over coffee or a lunch in Erlick Dining Hall, passionate about his goal to attain his MBA. Heโd always been quite open about his desire to use his Masterโs to gain solid footing in the business world, perhaps command a six-figure salary, and set himself up to make a positive contribution to society that his family could be proud of. And he was so close to his goals now, wrapping up the writing of this final thesis about management information systems under Professor Jordan Edelstein. It both disheartened and puzzled Luke: why would someone give all that up to turn themselves into an oversexed muscle freak eager to waste all the hard work that was already done?
And now that Luke thought about it, Colton didnโt even look like himself anymore. His face had morphed into a square-jawed gay fantasy. Maybe it was plastic surgery, and maybe the muscles were put on quickly thanks to steroids. The steroids could also be why his voice was deeper. But Luke couldnโt explain why Colton was taller. Maybe he added lifts in his shoesโฆ?
Incubus was on the old rock station. โHold the wheel and drive,โ Brandon Boyd sang. Luke took his advice and focused on the road.
That focus was disrupted by a chime on his phone, indicating that he was coming up to the address listed in the ad for The Toolshed. But at a first glance, he was puzzled by the building in front of him. It was bigger and nicer than Luke expected, with the exterior made of chrome and looking new - a far cry from the burnt-out gentlemenโs clubs Luke would sometimes see neon signs for when driving down the highway. And aside from the logo of a muscular man and a stray pride flag fluttering on the side of the building, there was little indication that the place was even a strip club at all.ย
It was early in the evening, so there were plenty of parking spots. And even better, there was no doorman yet to block him from walking in. As he passed the entrance, Luke wondered if male strip clubs even had doormen. After all, if the dancers were all as buff as Colton was, they could just double as doormen, let the crowd in, and then take their clothes off for them. Luke chortled at the thought, as well as the idea of Colton being a tough guy, despite his big steroid muscles. With the way New Colton acted, even if someone in the crowd was brandishing a knife, he would probably still fist-bump them and call them his bro. Then again, if heโd had plastic surgery, maybe heโd be the first to run because he wouldnโt want to risk ruining the work done on his pretty face. Why was Coltonโs face suddenly so pretty anywayโฆ?
Shaking his head, Luke stuffed the questions down and tried to saunter in casually. Heโd never been good at sauntering. He wasnโt cool, and heโd stopped trying to be in undergrad. He was too in his own head to be cool anyway โ an overthinker, everyone always said. But he didnโt overthink everything. At this stage of his degree, he often had to dress to make a good impression โ whether it was at his accounting internship or attending another job fair. So when left to his own devices, he didnโt put much thought into his appearance, and truth be told did not really want to. But despite himself, he was now starting to wish he had.ย
The crowd at The Toolshed was far more put together than he expected, wearing an eclectic combination of trendy tees, clear skin, and hip haircuts in varying hues. It was in sharp contrast to Lukeโs baggy gray henley, well-worn jeans and untamed mop of brown curls. Catching sight of himself in the mirror behind the bar, he grimaced at his patchy whiskers that hadnโt gotten the memo that he was now in his twenties. And as an abdominally-gifted twink swished up to the bar in a half-tee and short shorts combo, Luke recalled all the junk food binges heโd relied on for managing his late-night studies. Maybe before he tried breaking whatever spell Colton was under, he could get some tips from his friend on how to get rid of his stomach flab.
Trying to blend in while feeling so out of place was difficult, but Luke did his best. He got some water from the hydration station at the end of the bar and walked around to familiarize himself with his surroundings.
In an instant, Luke realized that the subtlety of The Toolshedโs exterior was nowhere to be found on the inside. The door handles and lighting fixtures were unmistakably phallic in shape. TVs hung along the walls constantly played footage from 1980s bodybuilding contests and workout videos, featuring no shortage of sweaty men in neon-colored thongs thrusting their pelvises straight at the camera. And above each of the VIP booths - furnished with black leather seating, of course - hung giant framed prints of impossibly buff, well-endowed men in flagrante: sailors, cops, bikers, and lumberjacks flirting, fucking, and loving every second of it.ย
Curious, Luke walked closer to one of the larger prints, which depicted two leather clad beefcakes standing face-to-face and bulge-to-bulge. In the bottom right corner, he was able to discern a simple signature in capital letters: TOM. โIf he wants to get famous, heโll need a more distinctive name than that,โ Luke huffed. But he had to admit all the drawings were impeccably done. And they were certainlyโฆdetailed.ย
Luke looked away from them, embarrassed. They werenโt what he was here for anyway. He anxiously chugged water and continued his sweep of the place, hunting for doors that looked like they might lead backstage. He spotted the bathrooms first, then a swinging door by the bar that looked like it led to the kitchen.
And then, he saw it. Or at least he was pretty sure he did. A black door, unmarked, set off to the left of the seating area, next to a DJ booth. It had to lead to at least a green room, if not the dressing rooms.
But he couldnโt go through it, at least not yet. Ironically, there werenโt enough people around. He needed more of a crowd milling about to block the view of the staff, then heโd slip in. If someone asked what he was doing, he could feign drunkenness and say he was looking for the toilet.
If pretending to be drunk was a possibility, then heโd need to drink something other than water to sell the act. He didnโt much care for drinking, and only did it in social settings where heโd feel conspicuous without a cocktail in his hand. At least here he was presumably in a place where he wouldnโt be judged for not drinking beer. The bartender behind the counter - a leanly muscled stud in a black t-shirt so tight his veins showed through it - certainly hadnโt been consuming many IPAs.
โโSup,โ was all the bartender said, his biceps bulging as he popped the caps off of two Bud Lights.
โHi, can I have a whiskey ginger?โ Luke said, ordering his go-to.
โSure thing.โ The bartender turned and reached for a bottle of Jack Daniels, his lats unfolding like the wings of a dragon. Luke wondered if he doubled as a dancer, but decided not to ask. He didnโt want the guy to get too good of a look at him.
โGot a tab open?โ the man asked as he set the drink on the bar in front of Luke.
Luke shook his head and slid over a $20 bill that heโd intended to use for laundry. He hadnโt budgeted for a drink. He made a mental note to update his spreadsheet once he got home.
The bartender left Luke and walked to the other end of the bar, where a tall Asian man in head-to-toe Adidas flagged him down. โSome liquid courage, bro?โ the man asked, and the bartender poured two shots of vodka, which they took together. Based on the guyโs look - overly muscled with a tiny waist, spray-tanned skin, and bleached teeth, just like Colton - Luke guessed he was a stripper. His big pecs hovered over the bar, barely covered by a track jacket that was unzipped far enough to show that he was shirtless under it. The men milling around him regarded him with awe, their lusty glances overt enough for Luke to see from ten feet away.
The hunk high-fived the bartender and slung his gym bag over his shoulder, then strutted straight toward Luke. As he passed, he looked Luke in the eye and smirked. โHey.โ
โHi,โ Luke said, surprised heโd been noticed. But that was probably a stripper thing. Make the customers feel special, and theyโll tip you more.
The guy kept walking and went through the unmarked black door on the left of the stage. โJust as I thought,โ Luke muttered into his drink before he sipped it. He walked away from the bar and positioned himself closer to the door, waiting for just the right moment to slip through. When he noticed he could be seen in the series of mirrors at the back of the stage, he moved further into the shadows. Then he killed time by sipping his drink, fiddling on his phone, and trying to look as casual as possible.
Ten minutes went by, then twenty. The seating area was starting to fill up. Luke finished his drink and set it on a nearby table, then realized there were no waiters around, the bartender was out of sight, and no one was looking at him. A surge of adrenaline shot him through the unmarked door before he had time to weigh the pros and cons.
He found himself in a small brick-lined hallway, and after ten seconds passed without anyone barging in after him demanding to know what the fuck he was doing, he was pretty sure he hadnโt been noticed. Feeling very much like a secret agent, he skulked down the hallway, passing an empty dressing room with a pull-up bar mounted in the doorframe. That was where he stopped once he heard voices.
They were nearby - around the corner - but not coming closer. Hesitantly, Luke stuck his head out to see if the coast was clear. It was, barely: some men were standing backstage waiting to start the show, but a black curtain shielded everything but their feet from view. A nearby table was overflowing with bottles of hairspray and - Luke squinted his eyes to read the labels - body oil.
Luke frowned and looked away, adjusting his glasses as he inched a bit closer to the black curtain. This place smelled like a locker room. It wasnโt unpleasant, but it brought back memories that were. Gym class was never the highlight of his school years.
The nearer he drew to the curtain, the clearer the voices from beyond became.
โ...just donโt seem to get it, Kai,โ a voice as deep as the Grand Canyon rumbled.
โNot everyone does. But thatโs โcause theyโre not hot,โ came the reply, followed by dumb laughter. Luke was pretty sure he recognized that voice: the huge Asian man who noticed him at the bar.
โLike, I grabbed lunch with a buddy of mine and he seemed really, like, put off by me? Is that the right word?โ the first man explained.
โColt, my dude, I bet he was just jealous,โ Kai hypothesized.
Lukeโs heart skipped a beat. Thoughts piled into his head so quickly that they almost jumbled together. They were talking about him. When had Coltonโs voice dropped so low?
โI mean, no shit, but likeโฆit sorta kinda bothered me โcause I like this dude.โ
โLike, โlikeโ or like, โlike likeโ?โ Kai asked. Luke rolled his eyes at the juvenile phrasing.
โIโunno,โ Colton muttered. Luke wanted to tell Colton to enunciate the words properly, but he held his tongue. โI still want him to be my bro โn shit, but I felt like he was judginโ me. It hurt my feelings.โ
Luke blinked in surprise. Was he really being that bad? It couldnโt be so wrong to want his friend to not throw his future awayโฆ
Kai chortled. โIf heโs a good bro, heโll like you for who you are, yโknow?โ He blew out a breath, then paused โ presumably in thought, though Luke didnโt really get the impression there was much going on up in Kaiโs brain. Colt was- er, Colton was asking a lot of this beefcake.
Luke was so focused on waiting for the next part of the conversation that the sneeze snuck up on him. It was so forceful that the young academic fell back and ended up tangled in the black curtain. The bovine noises of shock from the strippers filled the air as Luke thrashed in the smothering fabric, trying to free himself. Finally, a strong grip from somewhere tore the curtain right off him. Luke spun forward, tripping over his own feet, and his glasses flopped free. He only took one step as he tried to balance himself - one step that was punctuated by a crunch.
Well, that was a $200 prescription he now needed to replace. Dazed and embarrassed, Luke stared up at the man whoโd freed him from the curtain.
โLuke?โ Colton asked, his voice divided between confusion and elation. โWhatโre you doinโ here, bro?โ
โI, uhโฆโ Luke stammered, trying to collect his thoughts. He couldnโt just blurt out his thoughts about strippers with Kai standing right there. โI wanted to talk to you,โ he finally said.
Coltonโs chiseled face brightened with a dazzling smile. โThatโs awesome, bro! Iโm so glad youโre here.โ He threw his arm around Lukeโs shoulders, and Luke hunched from the sheer weight of it. All that power. Coltonโs massive bicep mashed into Lukeโs neck like a vice. โThis is the guy I was talkinโ about!โ Colton said, turning to Kai.
โThe one you like?โ Kai asked, looking back and forth between Colton and Luke.
โBRO!โ Coltonโs body flushed with embarrassment. It was at that moment that Luke realized Colton was half naked. Heโd been so distracted by his surroundings and the curtain incident that he hadnโt noticed Coltonโs attire, or lack thereof: just black leather pants so tight they had to be cutting off circulation, slung low enough to show off his waxed pubic area - and thin black strings that were cresting out of the top.
He was wearing a fucking thong.
The pants were matched by black leather cuffs hugging his wrists and making his arm veins bulge, and a thin leather strap running diagonally over his torso, its entire purpose being to sink between his pecs and show their depth.
โHow do you take those off?โ Luke asked, looking at the pants. He could see the cuts of Coltonโs quads rippling through them.
โIt takes work, man!โ Colton guffawed. โI donโt get outta these onstage. For the stripping numbers, I have other stuff thatโs tearaway, itโs fuckinโ dope.โ
โWhy are you talking like that?โ
โLike whuh?โ
โLike youโre-โ Luke caught himself before he said โdumb.โ โ-a surfer or something. And your voice is so deep.โ
Colton shrugged and gave Lukeโs chest a pat. โThis is just how I talk. Chill out bro! Youโre, like, tense, man. This is gonna be fun.โ
โWhat is?โ
โTonight!โ
โThatโs what I wanted to talk to you about, actually,โ Luke said, pulling Colton away from Kai, who was now taking selfies. โAll of this-โ
โIsnโt it fuckinโ awesome, bro?โ Colton said, his smile blinding in its intensity. โLook at my fuckinโ muscles.โ He raised his arms upward and posed, shoving a volleyball-sized bicep toward Luke. โGets me so horny. FUCK, I love being a man!โ Coltonโs body went flush again, this time from exertion as he flexed. His torso undulated as he ran his hands over his pecs and abs. โDo you love being a man, bro?โ
โI mean, yeah, I guess so.โ
โNah, youโd know if you did.โ Colton draped his arm across Lukeโs narrow shoulders again and pulled him in tight. โCโmere, lemme show you something.โ
Luke sighed and shuffled along, knowing resistance was futile. Colton was as big as a house. Looking at him was daunting enough, but being held by him made Luke feel like a little kid. Not only could he feel Coltonโs bicep squeezing against his neck like a snake, but Coltonโs pecs were so big they wedged against Lukeโs side. The muscles werenโt just for show - Colton was strong down to his fingertips.
โIโm so happy you came, bro,โ Colton rumbled as they walked up three stairs into a dimly lit area. โI really wanted a buddy here.โ
โWhat about that guy back there?โ
โKai? Great bro but itโs not the same.โ
โThe same was wha-โ Luke started to ask, but suddenly there was a blinding spotlight on him, and beyond it, hushed voices - lots of them. โIs thisโฆam I on stage?!โ
โYeah, bro, I want you to know what itโs like-โ
Luke tried to jerk away but Colton was too strong. โLet me go! I donโt want people to see me-โ
โItโs chill, man, just relax!โ
โNo! I shouldnโt be up here!โ Luke finally wriggled free by crouching and spinning away. โThis is embarrassing,โ he said angrily, turning to leave.
โStop, bro!โ Colton lunged and grabbed Lukeโs arm. โJust for a second-โ
Luke turned back and tried to wrench away. โLet go, you big-โ
It happened so fast that Luke didnโt realize what โitโ was at first. He felt something soft on his mouth, and the noise around him fell away, replaced by a low ringing in his ears. A kiss? He was being kissedโฆhe hadnโt kissed anyone in years, not since high school, when he and Kaitlin Longworth had tried at a party but felt too awkward to really go for it. But this was a nice kissโฆthe plump lips interlocked with his tasted like honey and lavender.
โฆwait, was Colton kissing himโฆwhat the FUCKโ
Luke stumbled back, sputtering. โWhat the hell was that?!โ
โI had to kiss you before you get too popular!โ Colton beamed.
Luke shook his head. โToo popular? What do youโฆwhat is this-โ He pushed his bangs out of his eyes, annoyed. Why did he have bangs anyway? His hair was curly, meaning it grew OUT, not down. โWhatโs going onโฆlook, Iโm not gay, I didnโt know you were but itโs cool, I just need to-โ
Luke turned to leave but tripped over his feet. He caught himself before he fell, placing one hand on the ground and pushing himself back up. That was how he noticed his henley sleeves were too short on his arms. And his jeansโฆdidnโt cover his anklesโฆ
He spun and looked at Colton. โWh-what is all this-โ
โItโs fine, bro. Cโmere.โ Colton pulled him in and kissed him again before Luke had time to think. Luke went limp in the big manโs arms, allowing Colton to maul his mouth with tender precision. When Colton broke free for air, he kept their mouths tantalizingly close, smiling gently at Luke as he held him close.
โYouโreโฆwhat are youโฆare weโฆโ Luke stammered, unable to piece together his thoughts, let alone a sentence. Everyone was staring, and something strange was happening - he couldnโt think straight - he needed to leave, but he didnโt want to. And his clothes didnโt fit. He was tall. He wasnโt supposed to be tall.
โFuck, your face is already hotter. Gets me so boned up.โ Colton pressed his crotch against Lukeโs leg to prove his point.
Luke moaned at the feeling of his friendโs erection. โWhatโs happening?โ
Colton turned Luke toward the row of mirrors lining the back of the stage. It took Luke a moment to realize his reflection was him. He didnโt look right. He was stretched out, nearly as tall as Colton. His face was his, yet different somehow. Like a more handsome twin brother. He couldnโt pinpoint what was different, but he just looked better. And his hair - what the fuck - his curls looked flatironed out, sticking out in tufts around his head.
Luke blinked sleepily, his expression the same as if heโd consumed ten beers. โWhat the fuckโฆโ He looked at Colton through bleary eyes. โItโs likeโฆa trick with the mirrorโฆgotta beโฆโ
Colton held Lukeโs face in his big hands. โFuck, bro,โ was all he said before they kissed again. Harder. Deeper. Coltonโs tongue explored Lukeโs mouth while his hands stroked his hair, which felt so long and lustrous now. When the kiss broke, Lukeโs soft moaning continued, his eyes shut as he swayed back and forth. โThatโs it, bro, rock your hips like that,โ Colton coached, moving his hands down to Lukeโs waist. โFuck, thatโs so sexy. Youโre so sexy.โ
โMe? No, Iโm notโฆIโm not,โ Luke insisted even as he gyrated against Colton. โWeโve been up here for like two minutes, this isnโt realโฆit canโt beโฆโ
โYeah, but all those sandwiches at Pepperjacks were gettinโ you ready for this!โ
โPepperjacks?โ Luke blinked, suddenly realizing he and Colton were the same height.
โRemember Murph, the owner? He owns this place too! Something in the stuff there gets, like, actionโฆautomaticโฆno, whatโs that word? When you turn something on?โ
โActivated?โ Luke was staring at Coltonโs face. He was so fucking beautiful. Luke didnโt know men could be beautiful, but there was no other word for Colton.
Colton snapped his fingers. โActivated! Thatโs it. Thanks, bro! Something you eat there gets activated if you get onstage here. Thatโs how he gets such hot guys to dance here. Isnโt that fuckinโ awesome?โ
Luke shook his head. His long blond hair shook with it.
Why was his hair blondโฆ
He was about to say he didnโt think it was awesome, when Colton leaned in and kissed him. Luke felt his body stretch. His chin throbbed. His clothes felt so tight. Something was happening to him, and he couldnโt explain it, which was frustrating. He could normally explain everything. But this wasโฆmagic. He couldnโt explain magic. Especially not with a foggy brain and a raging boner.
โHeโs TALL!โ someone in the audience shouted as Luke wobbled free of the kiss, unaccustomed to his long limbs. Heโd forgotten they were being watched. The stage lights backlit the audience and made the room feel like a big black box.
And he was tall. He was taller than Colton. He looked like a scarecrow wearing a little kidโs clothes. His stomach was so flat - not because heโd lost any weight, but just because all the extra height pulled it tight. โM-m-my body,โ he stuttered, patting his bare stomach.ย
โItโs getting so hot, bro,โ Colton purred.
Luke knew Colton didnโt mean the temperature, but that wasnโt wrong either. He was sweating. The lights were hot, and anxiety was spiking his body temperature. Itโd be better if he took his clothes offโฆ
He couldnโt take off his fucking clothes! He was in public!
โฆbut he wanted to take them off so badly. Fuck, it was so hotโฆ
His body temperature spiked further when he felt Coltonโs muscles press against his back, and his big buddyโs arms wrap around him. One hand slid up under Lukeโs shirt, the other went down over his jeans and massaged his crotch.
Luke made a noise heโd never heard himself make before; a high-pitched sigh that descended into an airy moan. His head rolled back as he felt Coltonโs lips on his neck, and then he grunted and bucked his hips as Colton pinched his nipple. โFuck!โ
โYou like that? Yeah, you like that,โ Colton said between nibbles on Lukeโs neck. โYouโre so hard, bro.โ
โWhatโsโฆcanโtโฆโ Luke was trying to say, but his mouth was dry and he couldnโt breathe. Words wouldnโt form. He was so confused, so aroused, every nerve on edge. Energy was coursing through him as he humped Coltonโs hand, groaning like a bitch in heat. And everyone was watching - he didnโt know why that was turning him on even more, but it was. Heโd always been on the shy side, content to stay in the shadows, but now he was front and center and he loved it. He turned to say something - anything - to Colton, but Colton just took Lukeโs mouth in his own, his teeth and tongue consuming all Lukeโs doubts.
โShh, look,โ Colton said, moving his hand out from beneath Lukeโs shirt. Luke dipped his head and saw how tight his henleyโs buttons were over his chest. His whole shirt seemed to strain, the seams tugging.
He took a breath.
POP!
โUNNNH!โ Lukeโs moan got a few men in the audience making the same noise. He stared in awe at his chest and its new shape pushing out against his thin shirt.
โCโmon, bro, they gotta be huge, please,โ Colton whispered into Lukeโs ear. โYou gotta get giant fuckinโ pecs like mine.โ
โNo, I-โ Luke started to say, but another button burst off his shirt, and his words devolved into horny groans.
Coltonโs voice was deep and excited. โFuck yeah. Huge fuckinโ muscle tits.โ
Luke shuddered with confused ecstasy. His chest widened and expanded, filling with air that pushed out his ribcage and reshaped his torso. Biggerโฆbroaderโฆ
This couldnโt be fuckinโ realโฆ
The last of his buttons exploded off.
โUNNNNGGHHHHโฆโ
His shirt was straining, struggling, tearing under the arms and across the shoulders as more projection and breadth piled onto his chest. Luke could feel sweat trailing down the valley between his new pecs.
โI gottaโฆgotta see-โ Luke gulped, forcing his and Coltonโs weight around so he could look in one of the stage mirrors.ย
What he saw made him moan even louder and sent pre-cum gushing into his boxers. The handsome twin brother look was gone. At best, he could pass for his own distant cousin. The same testosterone-laden magic that was warping his body was doing a number on his face, too; his brow ridge was now greatly pronounced, with new angles erupting out of his cheeks and jaw. And his hair - holy shit, his hair - blond as fuck and sticking straight up in the air like heโd stuck his finger in an electrical socket. It was swirling and shaking like it was alive. Maybe it was. Luke stared at it in awe.
โSomethingโs happening to me, dude,โ Luke said, as he watched his hair pile higher and higher on his head, before noticing his long, exaggerated lashes framing his blue eyes. Were his eyes biggerโฆ?
โItโs fuckinโ awesome, bro,โ Colton said. โWeโre gonna have so much fun. Shouldnโt life be fun?โ
Luke nodded slowly. โYeahโฆโ
โYโknow whatโs really fun?โ
Luke shook his head. โWhuh?โ
โHaving giant fuckinโ muscles.โ
Lukeโs plump pecs swelled further outward, busting fully out of his shirt and drawing moans from the crowd. He looked down in shock, his vision filled by the mass of his fantastic chest muscles. They crested out so far that he couldnโt see his nipples. โI bet, dude,โ he moaned. โBig fuckinโ musclesโฆโ
โRipped as shitโฆโ
โYeah, fuckinโ ripped.โ The remaining pudge melted off Lukeโs stomach and left an 8-pack cut like diamonds, the pronounced ridges running like a highway down into his straining jeans. He grunted as his fingers explored the new ridges of his abdomen, then he held out his hands and inspected them too: veiny brawn with long, thick fingers. Strong hands. A manโs hands. Luke clenched them and watched giant veins shoot up through his forearms. He felt his biceps press against the weakening fabric of his sleeves. โPleaseโฆโ he whined.
โPlease?โ Colton asked.
Luke didnโt know what he was begging for. He was just begging. More. He wanted more. Of everything.
His sleeves were splitting open along his biceps, which were already big as melons and still growing bigger. Colton gripped one with a โfuck yeahโ and tore Lukeโs sleeve right off, running his fingers across Lukeโs growing arm like he was playing a piano. Colton licked the peak of Lukeโs bicep and Luke responded with a full-body shudder and an arch of his back.ย
โThis has gotta come off,โ Colton said, tugging on Lukeโs ruined shirt. Luke nodded and moaned. The shirt was stuck to him because of all the sweat - he pulled and pulled, finally ripping the front further open, his huge left pec flopping out and drawing gasps from the crowd. Coltonโs assistance finally freed him, and Luke emerged from the shirt like it was a cocoon, his new bodybuilderโs torso on full display.ย
As the air drifted over his bare skin, Luke took in a big breath and grew his pecs even bigger, their mountainous size spreading up to his shoulders, which suddenly hurtled outward with remarkable speed. He suddenly had shoulders as broad as an Olympic swimmerโs, but they were getting thicker - rounder - huge rippling delts and elegant traps that held his neck upright like a ballet dancer, emphasizing the beauty of his face. A face that was twisted into an expression of agonized arousal, slack-jawed and breathless. Lukeโs teeth grinded as a stab of pain shot through his most tender region, and he pawed frantically behind himself, but couldnโt reach because of the new mass of his arms.
โH-help-โ he sputtered to Colton. โMy ass-โ
โOh, fuck yeah bro,โ Colton grunted from behind him. โLook at that.โ
โWh-whatโs happening-โ Luke sputtered, pulling on his jeans, twisting to and fro as he tried to relieve the tension.
โGetting big as fuck, thatโs what,โ Colton said, swatting Lukeโs butt.ย
โLook, heโs dancing now!โ someone in the crowd shouted from out of the darkness.
A chill went through Luke. In his haste to remove his pants, heโd started to gyrate sensually, rocking his hips back and forth to tease the crowd. Like he was a fucking stripper. He forced himself to stand still as he watched his pant legs swell outward, his thighs pressing together - it took him a moment to realize it wasnโt air inside his pants, it was his body growing massive, his thighs distending into bloated tree trunks. With a gulp, he looked at his side view in the stage mirrors.
Holy fuckโฆ
Holy fuckโฆ
โM-my ASS-โ
It was fucking enormous. Like two watermelons stuffed down the back of his jeans. His pants were so tight that he could see the cut muscles of his hamstrings running up to connect to the jaw-dropping mass of his butt. No wonder his pants hurt so badlyโฆbut maybe if he just flexed a little bitโฆnothing the crowd could see, of courseโฆ
One quick tense of his glutes kicked this plan into action, and that was all it took for Luke to realize heโd made a mistake. His jeans exploded off him like a pinata, two huge globes of solid muscle bursting out into the world. The expansive muscles shook up and down, a perfectly formed man ass sticking straight out from the small of his back. It was so round and inflated that it had torn his underwear right off.
And then, Luke saw, no it hadnโt. Lost between the two biggest ass cheeks heโd ever seen was a tiny strip of neon yellow peeking out from the top of the mountains.
A thong.
He was wearing a fucking thong. Just like Colton.ย
For his part, Colton was still helping with Lukeโs pants, tearing them away like wrapping paper. Every rip revealed more of the legs underneath, densely muscled pistons packed full of brawn - big, powerful thighs and diamond-shaped calves - every nervous twitch sending ripples down through their mass. Shredded denim rained down around his feet, mixing with something green that Luke couldnโt quite make out - it wasnโt until his vision cleared and improved itself to the 20/20 of his childhood that he realized he had a mound of cash in front of him. Ones, fives, even tens and twenties. And more was being thrown.ย
A man had made his way to the edge of the stage, the only face in the crowd that Luke could see clearly. Just a normal middle-aged man, someone who could have a son Lukeโs age. He threw a wad of cash at Lukeโs feet and said hungrily: โLemme suck your cock, please, sir, pleaseโฆโ
Luke stumbled back in shock, his new weight nearly toppling him were it not for Coltonโs support.ย
โI got you, bro. Fuck, youโre so sexyโฆthese musclesโฆfuuucckkkโฆโ Colton ran his big hands across the acreage of Lukeโs back. He cupped his palms around Lukeโs lats and admired their thickness and width. Luke moaned at the touch. Suddenly, everything turned him on. He didnโt know what was wrong with him, or with this place. Why wasnโt he runningโฆwhy was he in this Mister Universe bodyโฆnone of this was himโฆ
โLooking good, stud,โ Kai said, suddenly appearing next to Luke. โFuck, look at your pecs, man. Fucking huge.โ He knelt in front of Luke and looked up at him. โYouโve got the hottest nipples Iโve ever seen.โ He gave one a pinch.ย
Lukeโs toes curled. He had to hold back a scream of joy.
โYeah, you like that. Fuck yeah.โ Kai shoved his face in between Lukeโs mountainous pecs, his nose sliding all the way into the cleavage as he motorboated the giant muscles. Then, after a few more kisses, he opened his mouth and took Lukeโs left nipple into it. It was the first time Luke had ever had his tit sucked, and he knew instantly it would not be the last. Kaiโs teeth gently grazed on the softest skin on Lukeโs body, each nibble sending a shockwave of pleasure through his muscles. Luke played gratefully with Kaiโs beautiful black hair, rocking his head to the side to lean against Coltonโs, who was back to kissing his neck.
The two most beautiful men heโd ever seen were worshiping him like he was a fuckinโ god. That had to mean he was beautiful too. But he had to see.
He gently pulled on Kaiโs hair and looked into the manโs eyes as his nipple popped free. โI gotta see myself.โ
โYes,โ Kai moaned.ย
Luke turned, his movements labored from the two bodybuilders draped over him. โOh fuck,โ he breathed in shock.
He was unrecognizable. A new man. Atop the body of a god was a face to which no sculptor could do justice. Chiseled was an understatement. The masculine elegance of his high cheekbones reshaped his entire face. His thick eyebrows radiated dangerous sex appeal, which was needed to offset the dreaminess of his light blue eyes. Once-thin lips had blown up into a distended pout, their corners upturned in a permanent smirk. His jaw was a masterpiece of manliness, huge and square, like the guys in theโฆdrawingsโฆ
Lukeโs long lashes created a breeze as they fluttered in thought. He looked like the Tom drawings out there in the clubโฆsome kind of hyper-masculinized fetish idol, a fuckinโ queer wet dreamโฆeverything outsized and overstated, like he was more a fantasy than a real humanโฆ
He stared dopily at himself, watching in awe as whiskers stretched down the sides of his jaw and reshaped themselves into lightning bolts that hugged his protruding cheekbones to emphasize their sharpness. He turned his head one way and the other, inspecting the new retro sideburns heโd just grownโฆthey looked so fucking sexy, and they matched his hair perfectly.ย
His HAIR - oh FUCK - he had big fucking hair!
His hair seemed to rise higher as he looked at it, completing its transformation into a towering blond pompadour, shellacked with enough product to make it look plastic. It was a statement. It would attract attention. Thick wooly sideburns and a bigass pomp, like a blond Elvis. Or Danny Zuko. Or Johnny fucking Bravo.
Luke fucking loved it. His face spread into a big grin, and his teeth whitened and straightened until they, too, looked too perfect to be real.
โFuck, bro, your hairโฆfuck, itโs so hot,โ Colton slurred from over Lukeโs shoulder. He touched Lukeโs big stylized sideburn first, and Luke jerked away protectively - or as far away as he could, since he couldnโt move much without interrupting Kai sucking on his tits.
โDonโt touch my hair, dude!โ He hated when people touched his pomp. The only time he was fine with it getting messed up was during sex, and even then, it was straight to the bathroom afterward to get it perfect again.
Sexโฆ
He wanted sex so badโฆ
He thrust his hips forward and rutted against Kaiโs buff frame at the same time he felt Coltonโs clothed crotch shoving between his ass cheeks. The moan he made was coquettish, almost girly; his pillowy lips pursed together like he was Marilyn Monroe.ย
As Luke ran his hands all over his sweaty body, fingers reading each muscular crevice and divot like Braille, he realized how smooth he was. Smooth pits, smooth chestโฆsmooth everywhere, like a fucking doll. His skin gleamed like freshly buffed glass. He gently pushed Kai away so he could see if his crotch was hairless too. He had to bend over to get a look, his huge back rounding to compensate for the giant pillows hanging off his chest.
โThey gotta see it, bro,โ Kai said, moving to the side so that Lukeโs crotch could be viewed by the audience.
โYeahโฆyeah, they gotta see it,โ Luke said, sensually swaying back and forth as he played with the tiny straps of his thong. โI want everybody to see!โ
The tiny yellow pouch that held his manhood swelled with his growing erection, his cock stretching outward like a torpedo. Luke felt the fabric tightening around his genitals, his balls slapping against the silky confines. It felt so fucking good, and so fucking dirtyโฆsluttyโฆhe knew nobody expected this huge, hung bodybuilder to love wearing trashy little panties, and that turned him on all the more. The flimsy triangle was no match for his big balls and long, thick cock - his manhood was spilling out in all directions, soaking the shiny thong with precum.
Cash littered the stage, and judging by the moans he was hearing from the darkness, many of the audience members were beating their meat to him already. That made Luke feel powerful, that he could get men creaming their pants just by how he looked.
Finally, the strain was too much, and Luke pushed his thong down so his hard dick could stand proudly on its own. His bull balls flopped over the pouch, but he left the thong on. He liked how the strip of silk felt between his cheeks, pressed up against his hole.
Fuck he was so nastyโฆand his cock was so long that he could see its big bulbous head poking out past the projection of his glorious titsโฆhe touched his shaft and let out a high-pitched โooooOOOOOHHHโ before Kai moved back in front of him.
โLemme help,โ Kai said, playing with Lukeโs cock for a few moments before taking the head in between his lips and sucking on it like a big lollipop.
Heโd never gotten head before. Heโd never been hot enough to get his dick sucked, and the girls he knew didnโt put out like that. But guys were whores. Guys lived to fuck, just like Luke did now. He didnโt even care that he was getting sucked off in front of a whole audience. In fact, he found it hot as hell.
โOh fuckโฆoh FUCK-โ Luke was grunting as he realized his own voice had changed to match the deep, dim bro tone of Coltonโs. But his moans were an octave up, closer to his previous pitch, and rising higher as he lost more breath. His fingers gripped Kaiโs skull and guided it back and forth on his shaft, and he felt his cock elongating down the manโs throatโฆ โI need more,โ Luke cooed, as Colton gripped his jaw and roughly kissed the butterfly-shaped traps bulging out beneath his neck.
Coltonโs voice was low and sultry. โWant me inside you?โ
โYesโฆfuckโฆYES-โ Luke nearly blew his load into Kaiโs mouth at the very idea.
โYouโre the hottest guy Iโve ever seen, bro. Seeing you like thisโฆfuck, bro, I gotta have you.โ
โYou can have me!โ Luke grunted. โTake me right fuckinโ here, dude!โ
โFuck yeah,โ Colton breathed into Lukeโs ear. โThis might hurt a little.โ
โGood,โ Luke sighed, so horny he could barely think. He bucked forward as he felt Coltonโs cock press in between his ass cheeks. Then he felt something cold and wet - Coltonโs hand covered in saliva - and he released a joyous moan as Coltonโs fingers slid inside him.
Kai came up for air. โFuck yeah, bro,โ he said, looking up at Luke.
โFuck yeah,โ Luke repeated, eyes shut in hysterical ecstasy. His toes curled. He knew what was coming. He wanted it. He wanted it so bad - more than anything - and he didnโt know why, but heโย
โAAAUUGHGHNNNNNHGHHHHHHHโฆโ The loud cry of pain and joy got the crowd going nuts. The temperature in the room seemed to spike twenty degrees as Colton thrust inside Luke and began to fuck him. Luke used Kaiโs shoulders for stability and squeezed his eyes tighter, getting accustomed to having a manโs cock inside of him. He bent over more, kissing the top of Kaiโs head as the Asian man went back to blowing him. Luke watched his own sweat drip down Kaiโs back.
โFuck, bro, fuckโฆfuuuckkkโฆโ Colton was muttering behind him, gripping onto Lukeโs tiny waist then moving up to his lats. Luke pushed back, his thick glutes swallowing up Coltonโs dick. The whole room was ablaze with heat and lust, men masturbating between tosses of cash. The only spots past the stage that Luke could see were the big Tom prints on the walls. Those exaggerations of masculinity.
That was when it dawned on himโฆthat was him.ย
โShit Iโm fuckinโ HOT!โ Luke grunted, his full lips curving into a wicked smile.ย
โFuck yeah you areโฆโ Coltonโs rod slammed against Lukeโs prostate, and Lukeโs dick twitched inside Kaiโs mouth, leaking cum like a dripping tap.ย
โI gottaโฆshow โemโฆโ Luke choked out. โI gottaโฆshow โemโฆwho I am nowโฆโ
Colton got the message and pulled out, beating frantically at his own rock hard dick. Kai also moved to the side, allowing Luke to strut to the front of the stage, flexing and preening as he stroked himself.
Then he began to dance. Rhythmic and sensual, each movement designed to show off his immense muscles and the power they held. He ran his hands over his smooth body and worshiped it, feeling it grow even bigger at his touch. Big fuckinโ horny-ass bodybuilder. The most virile man in existence, so overly manicured he looked like a plastic doll. A face that was all jutting angles and testosterone, pouting and posing like a model.
This was the New Luke.
This was the man he wanted to be. Perfect. A fucking fantasy.
His cock unleashed its load like a champagne bottle exploding. Cum sprayed out over the crowd like the fire sprinklers had just been set off. Menโs laps moistened with their own spunk. Luke smiled as he heard their moans, knowing he was the god in the room, the muscle king, the embodiment of all that was TOM.
Luke fell to his knees, still expelling pearly white cum as he leaned back onto the ground and rubbed cash all over himself, bouncing his huge ass against the stage. His ear-splitting smile never wavered. This was bliss. This was fucking heaven.
โ-----
โDudeโฆis sliced bread sexy or somethinโ?โ
โWhuh?โ Colt looked over at Luke, whoโd asked the question.
โThis guy I was dancing for last night said I was the hottest thing since sliced bread.โ Lukeโs pretty face pouted in thought. โBut I donโt think breadโs very hot. I mean, like, unless itโs toast.โ
โIโunno,โ Colt shrugged. โThese are hot though.โ He reached across the center console of his car and pinched Lukeโs nipple.
โMmm fuckโฆโ Luke cooed, even as he continued to work on his pompadour in the sun visorโs mirror. His retro knit polo had all four of its buttons undone, allowing his huge pecs to bust out through the opening. He wore his polos a size down so that the effect would be extra dramatic. โI love my nipples.โ
โThey musta been distracting in class.โ
โFor me? Or for everyone else?โ Luke grinned, turning his head left to right to check out his hair and admire the extreme angularity of his jaw.
โBoth, bro.โ
โYeah, like, duh, everything was distracting. Iโm horny all the time and I make everyone else horny too. Iโunno who I was kidding going to class, I donโt understand any of that shit.โ He flexed his bicep and squeezed it like a football. โBut I donโt hafta,โ he said proudly.
โYou got that degree though!โ
โFuck yeah dude!โ Lukeโs giant chest puffed out. โJust had to fuck the right people!โ
โThatโs so fuckinโ hot, bro,โ Colt sighed, massaging his hard cock through his shorts.
For several minutes, the two oversexed studs sat in Coltโs car edging themselves, tweaking their nipples and moaning. They only stopped when their thongs started getting sticky with pre-cum. Didnโt want to lose any horniness before a night of dancing.
They made for quite a sight strutting across the parking lot. Big muscular asses bouncing in their tight shorts. Massive Olympian chests spilling out of the flimsiest of shirts. Small waists rolling with each step, their strides sensual and confident.
โWhatโs up K-Dog!!โ Luke bellowed as he barged into the club. He was a big fan of the bartender, Kellan. He remembered meeting Kellan the first night he worked at Toolshed, but found it funny that Kellan didnโt remember meeting him. Kellan insisted another bartender mustโve been working, because he wouldnโt have forgotten the hunk with the shoebox jaw and big pompadour, but Luke knew it was him. Heโd never forget a buff, sexy stud like Kellan.
โHey fellas!โ Kellan greeted Luke and Colt. โGood to see you. And you brought the party balloons!โ
โThe party whuhโฆโ Luke said, then he looked down at his giant hairless tits and got the joke. โOh! Haha!โ
โThey even have the little knots on the end,โ Kellan teased, reaching across the bar to give Lukeโs protruding nipple a twist through his polo. He used the gesture to pull Luke in and French kiss him, then did the same to Colt. It was how all the guys greeted each other at Toolshed. Wet, sloppy tongue kisses, Lukeโs favorite kind. Kissing a hot guy like Kellan got him so hard. He remembered a time when he dated women - or when he tried to date women but they mostly werenโt interested in him, which was weird because he was so hot - but it felt like a different life. He was gay as fuck. All he wanted to do was meet other hot guys and have sex with them. Top, bottom, Luke didnโt care as long as they were gorgeous.
โCan we get some liquid courage, bro?โ Colt asked, and Kellan obliged by pouring three shots of vodka.ย
Luke took his shot glass and balanced it on the tabletop projection of his upper pecs. โHeh, heh, check it out dudes,โ he chortled. Then he bent his chin and wrapped his lips around the rim of the glass, taking the shot without using his hands.
As he set the shot glass back on the bar, Kellan was getting a long, narrow box out from beneath it. โThis came for you bro. Gift from Murph.โ
โOoh, a gift?โ Luke tore the box open like a kid on Christmas. He gasped excitedly when he saw what was inside. โOh FUCK yeah, new costume for tonight!โ
โPut it on, bro!โ Colt said.
Luke pulled his shirt, boots, and shorts off without a second thought, standing in the middle of the bar in just his neon pink thong. He grabbed the pants from inside the box - they were shiny and black like leather, but made from a lighter material. They had stripes down the side that warped from the sheer mass of his thighs, and a built-in codpiece emphasizing his manhood.ย
He tucked the pants into the top of calf-length leather boots - they smelled like heaven - and then put on the shirt. It was blue, some kind of silky material that got him primed to cum. The short sleeves barely covered his delts, and it was a miracle they didnโt rip open. He buttoned the gold buttons over his abs but left the shirt open over his chest, showcasing his pecs. Then he put on the hat, a small leather cap that angled over one eye, balanced carefully on his blond pomp.
The look was complete. In the middle of the bar stood a perfect Tom of Finland cop, hyper-sexualized and over-groomed. A 1950โs gay pin-up. His uniform was covered in cocks: gold phallus-shaped pins on the points of his sharp collar; penis buttons up the front; patches on his sleeves that said โTomโs Menโ over an insignia of a dick with angel wings; the same insignia in silver metal on the front of his peaked leather officerโs cap.
Luke had never felt sexier. The imprint of his straining codpiece was the final perfect touch to his outfit.
Colt and Kellan moaned with lust at the sight of Luke. As payment, Luke made them both roughly kiss him.
โYouโre gonna make so much money wearing that,โ Colt said.
Luke knew he was right. He was already rolling in cash just from being hot. His rent was paid with a single night of work each month and the rest was just fuck-you money. He was in the process of moving to a luxury apartment building and buying a brand new sports car. He could buy all the hair and skin products he wanted - they cost a lot, but it was worth it for his fuckinโ epic hair and sexy tan. He was getting rich, likeโฆreally rich. Heโd found a nerdy guy from his old MBA program to do his accounting for him, and all Luke had to do in exchange was shoot a load down the guyโs throat once a month or so. Seemed like a fair deal.ย
Luke licked his full lips and ran his hand over the expanse of his muscled rump. He grinned. โHey Colt, buddy, did you know I got an MBA?โ
โYeah, we all fuckinโ know-โ
โMaster of BUFF ASS!โ Luke thundered, shoving his beefy glutes toward Colt with a loud, dumb laugh.
Luke arched his back and relished the attention. โFuck yeah, dude.โ

If the info about Madeleine is legit does it mean that Claudia's death will happen in the second to last episode? I didn't expect Madeleine to appear in the first episode tbh
Right?
I like it though, even though it means that the "revenant" parts will likely be a bit shorter... but her having a bigger part means that her relationship with Claudia (whatever they'll make of it) will be properly fleshed out, and I like that. They both deserve that.
As per the death... I THINK Claudia's "fate" (read: trial) will be earlier (my gut feeling says episode 5 *coughs*) - but maybe not the whole truth of that fate. Maybe they'll make it seem as if she left Paris with Madeleine (and other vampires?) like it was at first in the original version of the story, too (but Anne had to have the catharsis of the death so she changed that!) - I think the whole truth (maaayyybeee even Armand's little surgery) will come to light then in the last episode(s) which will then... trigger the events needed for the next cliffhanger.
Either way, they are going for - how did that nonny put it - maximum emotional carnage.
Help Iโm stuck on this super queer Ferris wheel and canโt seem to get off. Itโs painfully beautiful and sad and no one can just communicate with the other and someone in the relationship loves books and someoneโs a baddie while the other is a softie and and and

Been thinking about how Daniel becomes a permanent resident of Trinity Gate, and how often he probably falls asleep early after Armand has worn him out, only to wake up and find one of Armandโs other loves (both romantic and platonic) on the other side of the bed. Like-
โขLouis, who abhors being cold and hogs the blankets in his sleep. More than once Daniel has woken up in the middle of the day and had to wrestle the comforter back to his side. Other times itโs Louis with a book, reading aloud to Armand while he drags his fingers through his hair that stirs him. He never minds being disturbed by Louis though because Louis is a late sleeper like him, and that means with their powers combined they can convince Armand to stay in bed and cuddle the evening away.
โข Lestat, who has developed the very modern problem of not being able to fall asleep without the tv on. Daniel always knows heโs shown up by the quiet sound of trashy reality tv, turned down low so Armand can sleep, and the absolutely insane amount of heat Lestatโs body with its ancient blood throws off when heโs fed.
โข (but thereโs also the other times when Daniel is woken up by Lestatโs elbow in his ribs as he engages Armand in some good morning making out. Daniel doesnโt care, heโs given all of them his permission to do whatever, and honestly half the time he gets his arms around Armand and joins in. But some nights he grumbles about Lestat being too fucking boney for his own good and rolls over for a few more minutes of sleep)
โข And then once in a blue moon thereโs Bianca, who he knows by the smell of her floral perfume. Daniel wakes up to them gossiping like schoolgirls late into the night, and to Bianca calling Armand โAmadeoโ (and she is the only one allowed to use that name, because in her heart heโll forever be the sweet young man she adored)
โข Thereโs even one time that itโs Riccardo, which is bizarre because do ghosts even need to sleep? But this is just Danielโs life now, and Armand has told him the secret that when he was mortal sometimes he would sneak Riccardo in Mariusโs room after he left. Mind racing from the blood, he wouldnโt be able to sleep, and Riccardo was more than happy to sit on the giant velvet bed and play cards with him until he passed out. (and just like old times, he finds a deck of cards tossed on the nightstand beside Armand)
โข Itโs not long before it being just the two of them actually feels weird, but on those nights they relive the good times at Night Island and put on a cheesy 80s movie. And finally Daniel gets to live out one of his greatest mortal fantasies, falling asleep in Armandโs arms and not waking up alone.
