Summary
“D'accord Louis,” he cooed, petting the head of dark hair that leaned heavily on his shoulder, “you’re all right, let go now.”
Louis did not acknowledge he had spoken at all, other than to inch up his jugular, gnawing with renewed intensity once he had settled with his head tucked under Lestat’s jaw.
“Louis?” He tried calling again to no effect.
Something wasn’t right.'My blood might make a monster of what's there.' That is what Lestat had said, what he had told Merrick.
He wished he hadn’t been right.Series

Summary
The idea is irresistible once Lalo realizes how far Nacho Varga will go with the right motivation.
Lalo is normally as chaste as the Virgin – women are a petty inconvenience and men too much of a risk – so it is very, very special for someone to break through his usual skepticism. What Ignacio will do when pushed is both intriguing and dangerous. Best to keep him close. To control him. To wring out as much of that chaotic drive that he can by any means necessary.
So Lalo tells himself. Motivations matter less than what you actually achieve.
So Lalo tells himself.
Nacho, Lalo, and a relationship that might destroy them both. Set Season 5.

Summary

As Nacho climbs the ranks, he lowers himself. By the time he gets to Motel Ocotillo, he is left with nothing but scraps.
(A collection of scenes from Nacho’s perspective. Strictly canon-compliant, dark humour, no romance.)

Summary
Nacho thinks about the peasants somewhere at the crest of South America; smiling peasant families digging their hands into the dirt, planting coca plants in little green rows. Planting and toiling under the gunfire and smoke, so that some distant gringo lawyer can snort his second wind off a bathroom sink; so a college kid can get a better lay. So that he can sit here, in his big house, having dinner with his asshole boss, and feel like shit.

Summary
2004
As Nacho is escaping Lalo's "Cielito Lindo" in Chihuahua, the darkness outside of the hacienda seems to show him all but freedom and second chances, anticipating a dusty and light blue-hued omen of death, making Nacho soon realize that running back to Fring meant demise for him and an unknown fate for his father.
What did running back to Lalo mean? More death? Choosing between Fring's cold machinations checkmating him or Eduardo Salamanca's warm hands choking him was easy."Would he listen to him? Would Lalo be the strong and unmovable thing that could save his dad, as batshit as it sounded?"
2007
In a Salamanca owned Albuquerque, Nacho lives in hiding as the most wanted man by the DEA on the US side of the border, since, as promised by the fireplace three years earlier by Lalo, he's running the city's drug trade, changing safehouses frequently, and having to deal with a mysterious rat who's tipping off information to the police. As if that wasn't enough, Nacho has to battle with the gut wrenching guilt and anguish of seeing Manuel grieve his death from afar, and with Lalo being back in town to "make sure the business is running in order" once again.Bookmarked by mothfish
