One of my favourite parts of "Persuasion" is when Frederick says to Anne "You did not use to like cards; but time makes many changes." and then she responds "I am not yet so much changed." and then he says "It is a period, indeed! Eight years and a half is a period!" because this is such an important part of the book. It's when they both truly realise that neither of them is the same as they were 8 years ago. They're not 19 and 23 anymore, but 27 and 31. They both have scars and are more mature with a better understanding of the world and, more importantly, each other. And all part of each of them wants to do is go back to the beginning and rewrite the story from the start so they aren't separated and have to go through over eight years of emotional agony, but they can't, so they have to write a new ending. And they do.

It would be so interesting if Daniel’s madness could be explained that way! Was that encounter supposed to have taken post suicide attempt? Because if so… yeah I’d buy it. Daniel seems to be going through the worst of it so it’d make sense for something in his mind to have fractured seemingly beyond repair shortly after finding out about Armand’s “death”. And in that state, it couldn’t have been possible for him to have an actual conversation with Armand. Ugh I wish we could’ve gotten more of them because I do feel like Anne could’ve given them the resolution they deserved beyond the one liners and the endgames, her grasp on the characters and their dynamic was still very much there and it felt true to them, even in notes/annotation form, she just didn’t have it in her to care I guess.
I've always thought Armand's death was the cause of Daniel's madness, it just made sense and seemed to line up time-wise. So maybe in this case, in Anne's notes, he was already a little off-kilter and the thought that Armand died pushed him all the way over the edge, which would definitely fit. The notes are sparse but it does seem like it's when Armand goes to the church to see Lestat, so it would be after his suicide attempt.
I'm definitely with you. Even the exchange we saw in her notes really does read like them, you're so correct. So if she was still writing them like that, I'd be all over it. I am curious why it was left out or changed. Maybe it complicated things too much and took attention away from Lestat. Maybe she decided she didn't like it after all. It's so hard to say.
I am grateful for all the fic writers who work to bring these scenes to life though, and I'm glad we have sort of an open playground in respect to them since we don't get much of them together after QotD, but it would have been nice to at least see Daniel in TVA, to at least have him around, and to see that despite what he tells David, Armand still has a deep and abiding love for him. Alas!
