    Summary

    I do all the planning. She keeps telling me it works. She does not try to convince me of Armand's power, or Louis' loyalty, or the coven's priorities. She merely recounts our activities, recharts our path, kisses blood into my mouth long and sweet, until the breaths that I don't need come a little easier.

    Summary

    Claudia turns away from Madeleine, surveying the rest of the room. It’s too hard to look at her.

    "I've wanted to do that since… not since we met—you were so rude and dismissive, and I like that about you now, but I felt… not romantic, like I wanted to see you again to spite you or something. Since you came to my performance, maybe, I wanted you then, but I didn’t let myself think about it, really. I didn’t think you could want me, like that, when I’m like this."

    "Claudia," Madeleine says reverently. "When we met, I did not want a child. But you are not a child. You are a monster and this is your body. Why should I not want it?"

    Claudia and Madeleine talk about their relationship status post the "Is it romantic?" "No" "Not yet" scene. This is mostly relationship negotiation and discussion of vampirism, but they do take a break to have sex.

    They could have been so happy together.

    Summary

    “Oh, Claudia…” She shifts closer to inspect her face. Her eyes are as florid as a blushing sky at twilight. Her skin glistens like heavy dew weighing down a sunwashed meadow. The blood decorating her mouth is as endearing as smudged lipstick. And the look of reverence she gives Madeleine hastens her heartbeat like a game of tag winding down to its end.

    Dazed, as if she drank bottles, not glasses, of wine before her turning, she wonders, “Do they know? Do they sing of your beauty?”

    Claudia giggles. Madeleine flinches—it sounds as if Claudia spoke right into her ear. “From here to New Orleans and back again.”

    (Claudia and Madeleine's eternal honeymoon.)

    Summary

    Armand feels the icy drop in the atmosphere, the sudden shift in the way Santiago’s eyes bore into him. The rest of the coven must sense it too as there is shifting and shuffling all around him. “I think…” Santiago says, voice smooth and dangerously soft, “it would be wise for the coven to have a…concrete assurance of your loyalty this time.”

    *

    The coup goes far worse than how Armand initially told it to Louis or how it was ever told to Daniel Molloy.

    Summary

    Madeleine has taken to the gift like a duck to water. That's my woman, I knew she would. She likes to learn from me, and I like to teach her. I'm a good teacher, I think. A kind one. We bound about the fields surrounding the cottage, practicing her new vampiric speed, jumping around from tree to tree and rolling over each other like kittens. There hasn't been a day since we arrived where my cheeks haven't ached from smiling.

    Summary

    Louis is money hungry and driven by a distaste for the patrons and higher-ups of the artist community in Paris, and Armand is subject to not only his ranting, but his passion and anger, and his release-with Armand beneath him in his coffin.

    Summary

    “I do love you, Louis. I know I haven’t said it in a long time, but I do.” He missed when she called him Daddy Lou. There were times when he longed for it, wanted it more than anything in the world. And yet, despite this, a sense of unease crept up his spine at those words. It would seem wrong, he thought, unnatural, even dirty to be called that now. Like those words were only reserved for New Orleans, for who Claudia had been back then, who he had been.

     

    or, Louis and Claudia in Paris, and the gaping void between them.

    Summary

    Armand might have delivered the final blow in their argument in 1973, but Louis has since stepped up his game.

    In the wake of remembering San Francisco, Louis installs a painting he knows will trigger Armand on the wall where the Bacon Triptych once stood. Armand whump and hurt/comfort with Daniel ensue (albeit at arm’s length).

    Summary

    I asked you to erase it?

    Yes. After you came out of a shower in our home in Sausalito. Three days after we abandoned him.

    Armand can see Louis is struggling after the interview in San Francisco. Armand could take it all away. If only Louis would let him.

    Summary

    Claudia has a hand over her mouth, eyes wide and pupils blown out. Unfortunately for her, obscuring the sight of her mouth does little to hide the fact that Madeleine can hear that her fangs are out when she says, “I don’t wanna hurt you, I can’t…”

    Despite her protests, Madeleine is still so human and fragile.

    Summary

    “You know how I feel about you Claudia.” The younger vampire assured pointedly. At that, Claudia shot a befuddled look her way. She scoffed and retorted. “Do I? You been dancin’ round it for weeks now, I’d like to hear it from you.” She said, standing as well. It didn’t feel as powerful when she did it, she noticed, as Claudia’s companion had a few good inches on her. Madeleine shook her head and began to walk away from her. She began nonsensically rambling in too-quick-French that Claudia didn’t care to keep up with.

     

    or

     

    Claudia and Madeleine in the months before the trial, after Madeleine's turning, find that their personal problems still echo in the foundation of their new relationship. They have it out, and maneuver these new feelings together.

    Summary

    "Louis?" Soft, tentative. “I’m glad you called. Where are you now?”

    Are you with him? Was the unspoken question. She'd opened her mind up too large in an uncharacteristic show of vulnerability. Or a show of a show of vulnerability, asking, did the predator scent the pack’s reunification, look up from the prey it was mauling?

    or, Louis reaches out to Claudia after Madeleine's turning and their departure to invite her back one (last) time.

    Summary

    The extended version of that Armand/Louis scene from s2 ep6:

    “Take off your clothes,” Louis orders.

    The corner of Armand’s mouth twitches. He looks away from Louis, turning towards the desk beside him, “I am going through, uh, Sam’s new pages-”

    “Clothes off,” Louis cuts in, “Face down in the coffin. You can read ‘em to me while I fuck you.”

    While he speaks, Louis starts unbuttoning his shirt, turning to Armand with the expectation that his request will be obeyed. For a moment, Armand can only stare at his lover. He fleetingly thinks about his time as a human and considers the implications of what Louis is asking for before remembering the content of the aforementioned pages.

    Armand stands.
