Summary
“It’s cool,” Daniel says. “I can watch Benji and Sybelle.”
He means it to be reassuring, an olive branch. An offer of see, we’re doing better, let me prove it. You can trust me this time.
Daniel doesn't know what he expects. A relieved smile? An anxious shrug? A deluge of excuses about why that wouldn't be possible?
What he isn't expecting is for Armand to go very, very still, and say, “oh, would you now?”
or:
This is not the first time someone has offered to watch Benji and Sybelle. Armand will not fall for the same trick twice.

Summary
Sybelle doesn't like the coffin.
Baba helped her choose it, a special gift for his twice-adopted fledglings. Benji had loved his. He was still small, of course, so there was more space for him inside.
There is not much space for Sybelle. The inside’s velvet lining is far too close. It tickles her nose and presses down on her, cages her into the cushions and bears down on her like He did when He–
Sybelle does not sleep much anymore.

Summary
“He asked me if I wanted help finding her. Walked around, joking. Told me stories about you. He was–really, really nice.”
“I know, darling,” Armand says. “He was to–”
“–to you too, I know, stop saying that!” Benji yells, sharp and sudden. “Do you think that makes it better? Like I’m gonna go ‘Poor Baba, he had such a hard time, so I guess it’s okay he got me fucking raped!’”
If Benji had slapped him, it would have stung less.

Summary
Daniel's half-paying attention–he’s seen every episode a dozen times, could probably write you the screenplay blind. Kirk’s talking about his backstory, and he’s just thinking, oh, this one, great episode, when Sybelle stiffens.
She’s got an energy to her, the same twitchy, nervous stillness Armand gets when he’s upset about something but won’t admit it.
or:
daniel and sybelle watch star trek together. they probably could have picked a better episode to start with.

Summary
“My Amadeo,” Marius says, cupping his lost love’s face tenderly, “oh, my darling Amadeo.”
“Padrone,” Amadeo says, tone unreadable. He makes no move to reach for Marius in return.
The disrespect floors Mael.
or:
time and time again, the vampire world falls for marius' version of the story.
