♡ + Armand/Marius?

It took me a minute to answer these because I wanted to answer in detail. And they’re sweet questions, so here’s some sweet answers ♥

•Who’s the most affectionate?

In Venice? Armand. It's a wonder Marius ever got anything done with him slinking around, always trying to sneak a cuddle or a kiss. He was like the cat that manages to work its way into your lap no matter how much you twist around and try to put your laptop in the way. Marius could hunch over his desk with his journal and Armand would still find a way to drape himself over his back until he could no longer be ignored.

Modern day? Marius. The man's got some making up to do and it's high time Armand get pursued.

•Who initiates the handholding?

At home it's 50/50. In public I always picture Armand as someone who holds onto his partner's elbow, which is a suitably dignified level of PDA for Marius and also means if Armand is in a mood he can subtly drag him around by the arm with no one the wiser about who's leading who.

•Who worries more for the other?

Marius absolutely worries himself into knots about Armand, he just has such a difficult time showing it. I don't believe that a single day went by in between the kidnapping and the reunion in QotD that he wasn't worrying. It was just that he pushed those thoughts down inside himself and tried to bury them.

•Who is more likely to ask for help?

Unless the threat of death is imminent? Neither of them. Though in a less serious way, I see Armand using needing 'help' as a bid for attention 'Help me open this jar', 'help me wash my back', 'help me get dressed'. With all of those laces on 15th century clothes? You better believe Armand pestered Marius to 'help' him tie up his hose and in doing so got what he really wanted, and ended up stripped out of them.

•Who is the one always losing the keys?

God, both of them. They both have tendencies to collect stuff and hyperfocus, and we all know what that does to a person when it comes to keeping track of little items. Thank god for their immortal gifts rendering keys unnecessary.

•Who leaves little love notes for the other?

I like to think that Marius, upon learning how his fatalistic commentary in his journal wounded Armand, decided to correct course by writing kind things about him and leaving them around where he knew Armand could see. Maybe apologizing in words is difficult, but leaving his journal open to a page where he describes Armand's lovely eyes? That's not so hard at all.

•Who can’t sleep unless the other is there?

Armand. As a mortal his body just knew when Marius had left, and he would jerk out of his sleep and find the bed empty. It would take him ages to fall back asleep, tossing and turning the whole time. Perhaps on that very first night of immortality he climbed willingly into his own coffin. But after that? Just before sunrise he would sneak back out and open the coffin beside his, and climb in beside Marius to let sleep take them both.

•Who is more likely to propose to the other?

I'm not sure they're the proposing type- they both have so many other relationships. But I totally see Armand remembering the diamond ring Marius gave him, the one he described as having the white light of god. And once they've properly made up and smoothed things out between them for good he would seek out a similar matching set so that Marius, like his other loves, has a ring with a gemstone that goes with one of his.

•Who introduced the other to their family first?

Well, we have this answer in canon, don't we? I wonder though, if Armand wishes that instead of standing in the shadows Marius would have spoken to his family with him. He got to see them all for one last time but they never knew who the man with him was. He never could have told them the full details of their relationship, of course- but it's bittersweet that Marius was right there the whole time watching them.

•Who is more likely to play with the other’s hair?

Oh, it's 50/50. Armand had the nicest perfumed hair in Venice from Marius taking him into that big bathtub and washing his hair for him as often as he could. And then later when they were lying in bed Armand was fascinated by how long and pale blond Marius's hair was, silkier than even Bianca's. He'd have his fingers tangled in it as he fell asleep and Marius would have to gently pry them out so he could get out of bed every morning.

•Who makes sure the other has meals/stays hydrated?

In the past? Marius would ply mortal Armand with food and keep their cooks working into the night, for if he had a whim to feed him honey and figs at midnight he was going to do it. It was a special pleasure watching Armand eat, because he was always so fascinated by the exotic things Marius managed to have imported into Venice for him to try. And then later, when Armand was immortal- watching him feed then was a special pleasure too.

Now? With his lapses into focusing too hard on painting or on his work at court, Armand is compelled to check in on him. He has a smart mouthed way of hassling him to get his nose out of a book and get out in the city that's so reminiscent of young Amadeo that Marius can't help but shake his head and do as he's asked.

•Who is more likely to stand up to anyone for the other?

Oh man, what question considering their history lol I think they both know they're capable of fighting their own battles but if anyone stepped to Armand in a dangerous way Marius would be there, hoping to make up for his past failures by protecting him this time.

•Who is the most likely to prepare a surprise for the other?

In TVA Armand mentions the boys preparing things to read or music to play when Marius came home and I think he was instrumental in organizing some of that. He would pick the readings or the music for the night, or if he was feeling feisty he'd put together a little fencing tournament with the boys to surprise Marius and Bianca together.

And then in the modern day, when Armand picks up art again- he would surprise Marius with that, and leave one of his first paintings in half a millennia in his rooms as a gift for him.

•Who makes the other pinky promise not to do certain things?

Armand does it, specifically for the dry look he gets when, in front of the entire court, he makes Marius pinky promise to let this meeting end on time and not sit there asking Lestat questions that they all know Marius will ignore the answer to anyways.

•Who puts a blanket over the other when they fall asleep on the couch?

Marius. It's a habit he developed when Armand was mortal and more affected by temperature. He'd drift off on the bed and, unwilling to wake him and make him get under the covers, Marius would get one of his silk velvet cloaks out to cover him with. It's the same now if he passes the sofa and sees Armand has drifted off with a book. He finds the nearest throw blanket and tucks it around him.

for vc asks coffin and those who must be kept please ♡ ♡

Coffin (modern human jobs) + bonus short headcanons

Lestat: I’m going to take the easy route and say musician, but in the sense he’s on SoundCloud, TikTok, and Insta. Plays at the local clubs and taverns. He needs a day job, but he’s stubborn and enjoys wasting what’s left of his father’s money.

Armand: Easy, coroner. Does the grisliest of autopsies with a stomach of steel. Tells Daniel about his exciting day over dinner, much to Daniel’s displeasure and immediate loss of appetite.

Louis: Lawyer. Wanted to be a poet, but his parents said hell no. He still writes his sad poems every now and then, sadly, in his fancy lawyer apartment.

Daniel: Easy again, journalist. Reports on the crimes that end up on Armand’s autopsy table. Doodles comics on the side. Some are for Armand.

Claudia: Grows up to be Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada.

Those Who Must Be Kept (what would you change about your least favorite book)

LOL.

I haven’t read all of them (Blackwood Farm, etc.) so I’ll go pick from what I have.

Blood & Gold. Because at this point in my life (several years ago) I did like Marius a lot, and this book pissed me off. Here’s what I would change, from what I can remember:

Make him nicer to Pandora

Make him nicer to Amadeo

Make him nicer to Bianca

Expand on what’s happening with Daniel

More with Armand in the present day

The historical parts were fun but I would have loved to see them more integrated like in Colleen McCullough’s The First Man in Rome (I think a lot of y’all will enjoy that one if you like historical)

Thank you for this @armavnd I really enjoyed it! 🖤

Night island and New Orleans please for the vc asks ♡

Night island: share your favourite ship and one thing you'd change about their canon story

So my favorite ship is loustat and this question is pretty hard bc there's a LOT I would change about their relationship, like I feel like I could do a whole break down book by book (which is why I try and only view the first three books as canon). But the one I come back to again and again is I wish we had gotten to see more of their time in the happy years at Rue Royale in IWTV. Both Louis and Lestat hand wave that time in their respective "memoirs" and I don't want to "read between the lines" I want more then "hell yeah motha fuckin bread crumbs". This could honestly apply for every book, my review of VC could just be "needs more loustat" lmao

New Orleans: share a headcanon about your least favourite character

Ugh so it's Marius. My headcanon is that Marius is so used to being seen as the "intellectual" he rejects when people explain certain things to him that he didn't know. He is deeply attached to information available in ancient times, especially Pliny the elder and is just convinced that because a little bit of what he said has been proved true like amber coming from sap, it all eventually will.

If anyone tries to argue with him, even going so far as to google some fact and he will say that human knowledge is always evolving, we once thought the world is flat but that was proven wrong wasn't it? Some people do fight him, such as Louis, Armand, and Pandora, whereas Lestat and Daniel are just "Sounds wrong but I don't know enough about stars to dispute that"

Who says you can't teach an old Roman new tricks

"...I'm perfectly calm thank you, Marius. Behold no broken furniture, axes in doors or otherwise violent actions." He liked mentioning axes it usually sparked something in his makers eyes that he found heartening. He got a kick out of it. "I'm just informing you that the likelihood of you touching me in any intimate fashion, at some point in the near future lessens every time you effectively shush me with rhetoric in a court session." Armands voice not that high but it carried so we'll, especially to ears pre-programmed to those smooth velvety tones. Warm brown eyes beginning to blaze with a amber flame.

"Am-Armand." Managing to not say something even more potent to stoke his fiery loves ire. Though this didn't stop Armand pausing his stride and pivoting himself to look at his maker eyes. A Freudian slip that, terribly bad timing considering the topic of contention. "Be reasonable, I disagreed with you." Best to stand firm, leave no quarter - the Roman thought to himself.

That's it stand firm, that's the Roman way - a familiar voice whispered in his mind. Marius pointedly not looking the owner of said voice lest he provoke their mutual love further.

Daniel 'had' been minding his own business in Armands' suite when he'd heard them approach. Hard not too, the air electric with their tension. Would they continue the too and fro verbal sparring or skip a few steps in this potential foreplay and go straight into making up. Should he slip out now, nope that could prove more awkward than them collapsing in passions on top of him on the settee. So he observed noting Armand had tilted his head, smiling up in a way some would mistake for open and contrite. Possibly seductive. My what big teeth we have... would his Roman grandsire fall for that trap. "Agreeing to disagree is one thing but you disrespected me like a weary tutor. I'm not the one you monikkered a brat remember. Next you'll grab a switch and threaten me with a good time." Armand said with a languid tone. "The whole coven knows we've had a honeymoon period, vocal as we are, now the only noise they'll be suffering is you removing your foot from your mouth." Brushing off something on Marius' shirt, making contact but not allowing it in return as he spun on his heel and turned his attention to Daniel. "Sorry I'm later than planned someone delayed me. Still want to go out. We can still do ice skating?"

"Out?" Marius parroted, not wanting to show how he'd stopped his hands going to reach for Armand just a second ago. Clasping eachother now instead. Hand in unloveable hand... Not liking to be stood up in an argument unless it was on his terms. They'd after all agreed to not go to their death sleeps on a quarrel. Not that he wanted to join in on the date, he'd not done ice skating often himself, ice not giving him any warm fuzzy feelings especially since he'd been buried under it. Searching his mind for the last time as it seemed important for some reason.

Daniel for his part did notice the aborted movement, giving the older vampire a look of sympathy. This reunion was an up and down process. Not all of which was pleasurable. Eyes soon tracking back to meet his makers. "Yeah. Though not the film now, we'll miss the start." Meaning they could still go skating and perhaps if he was lucky then hunt together.

"Yes out." Armand liked ice skating on the Night island, he still had an affinity with certain activities from his Slavic ancestry, though all vampires craved the warmth. "I have a prior engagement with Daniel tonight, a date night if you will." Letting that sink into Marius' consciousness. He wasn't sure if his maker had gleaned the finer points of dating and significant others in the modern age as yet. From what he'd gathered from his sister's in the blood, a whole training session in toxic masculinity might be in order in itself for their mutual maker. "Ice skating. Did you wish to defer this discussion to tomorrow or did you plan on joining us?" Puzzled by his less erstwhile these days loves expression, though not for a moment letting it show on his own.

"Ice skating! Marius!" Picturing the scene as he beamed looking between the two. Eyes resting on the ancient. "Well you weren't exactly pro-level when we went to Island on Ice that time." As soon as those words left his mouth Daniel tasted instant regret. Because that time referred to his wilderness years and Marius had taken him to cheer him up and help him reconnect with his past. Not something they'd spoken of to Armand. Yet. *Shit! Sorry I think I've just thrown you into the fire*

Marius' reply at first was a resigned inner sigh. Withholding information incase it rocked their burgeoning love boat, and apologising in hindsight seemed to be his go to strategy in regards to Armand. Something his beloved was attempting to ween him out of, a habit he was trying to ween himself out of *I think I'm already in singed territory as it is Daniel.*

Nostalgia slapped Armand in the face as he heard that name, Island on ice, a rink on the Night Island, often frequented by them. He hadn't thought about it at all in a long time. Certainly not visited, but Daniel had and not with himself. By the look on Daniels face he knew he'd spoken of a trip he hadn't known of until now. Gaze cooly looking between the two. Not a huge transgression, on the Romanus fuck up scale - but something he'd missed out on decades ago, again - but it did rise a lick of anger in his belly all the same. Letting it sit there, first things first. "You speaking of a time after the night island gathering aren't you." The question open to either. He didn't need to shout, the tone of his words all he needed to convey his displeasure.

Observing the guilty pair. Sometimes Armand managed to ignore the twisting pang at the thought and sense of his fledgling and maker communicating through the mind gift, something so natural especially to him blocked by blood on both counts. Most nights he tried not to let it taint interactions. Tonight unfortunately wasn't one of those occasions. "You know you both have distinct tells when your communicating up here don't you ?" Tapping the side of his temple for enthusis. "You just ever so slightly twitch your lip like your fighting the urge to mouth out internal words," revealing Daniels tell to him first. "And you, you over compensate and frown." He told Marius next. "Not a passable poker face between you!" Both could learn to master their masks better. "Hardly in the spirit of our renewed relations. To be open." Gaze flicked to Daniel.

Falling silent and waiting for one of the other two to speak next. Though Armand knew which he'd rather hear from first. Turning to face the taller vampire. "Did it slip your mind until now?" He added hoping for a rise.

Marius obliging to speak up, not wanting any fall out daniels way. "It was my idea, I gleaned from memories of a happier time that place. To help him be more grounded by the past for the present. It's not the worst of my failings, we can both agree on that." Self deprecation never hurt, though he knew facing his fiery fledgling those words would encourage Armand to counter challenge with a much more potent example of his transgressions. "It didn't seem pertinent to the here and now I admit."

"I could have told you too, not all on him." Daniel moved to stand interjecting as he leaned toward being the referee with these two. Trying to help as he knew it was the little things that cut the deepest when Armand felt out of the loop with his loved ones.

"Daniel, no" his name spoken in stereo by Armand and Marius to tell him to stop. Both quite clear this wasn't his fight. So he stood like a gangly third wheel and hoped he could at least stop the physical fisticuffs. Most liking his prone form on the floor would pause the fight effectively.

Armands attention back on Marius. "Apologies did you want me to give a pertinent example then, granted Maestro." Smallest bite to that title, gestulating with his hand. The Italian mannerisms came to the fore when verbally dueling with certain loved ones. "Did it slip your mind like when I found out Daniel had been with you for quite sometime via a veritable stranger Thorne."

"You shouldn't have pried into the mind of a guest." Marius parried back, taking the high ground. Though he knew from experience some of these elders weren't as savvy with the mind gift as those younger in the blood. An irony that nicely balanced things out at times. Some veritable novices to his exceedingly competent little psychic siren. Chest swelling with pride though now was not the time to was lyrical about Armand. Perhaps later when the storm passed he could whisper these words into the shell like ear, whilst stroking through those auburn silky curls.

"I'll send him bouquets of flowers as a belated apology tomorrow," He said with breath taking aplomb, Thorne was as stuffy as some of the ancients. He certainly hadn't shot the messenger. "But his mind was quite open, there he was bashful about the fact you'd shared a bath I gathered when I arrived to the trial." Judge jury and executioner Marius. Not that it had surprised him the Romans made entertainment out of death.

"It wasn't like that, he was a non judging soul to share my story with..." he managed to say before his love plowed on.

"'Oh my Marius has himself a stray red head, more burly and older than I thought his type but good for him, if the bath was anything to go by. If he fancied sampling an ancient beau as a change who am I to question. But no not that skeleton in the closet, my daniel in the basement!" That instance still struck a nerve, a record whose grooves had paused of late what with one cataclysm after the other, Marius assumed dead by Rhoshamandes hand. It equalised passed slights.

The flames in the fire flicked and gained height Daniel noted. Wondering who was responsible for that. Someone was listening at the door. Boy did they pick the wrong group.

"He gained nothing from my vulnerability. Unlike David." Marius sniped back. The hearth snuffed out. He'd never asked either about that interview in the attic, didn't mean he hadn't imagined much. He glanced to the door making it shake, scaring the eavesdropping fledgling who had no business listening let alone being on this floor.

"Oh what do you think David gained other than my story as I wished to tell it." Moving closer but not touching Marius. Eyes holding their own flames, as it relit. "Do you think he sampled the goods."

"That's not my business what you gave him." Icy eyes surprisingly heated. Looming over the smaller vampire, as if he'd ever intimidate Armand - who realised this too was a thrill, inciting passion.

Lights flickered one of them or some of the chateau spooks Daniel wondered. Should have brought popcorn just for the drama aesthetic.

"I gave him a piece of my mind, not my arse." Armand hissed, hovering to be on the same eye level. Fire now licking the up the edge of the huge stone mantel. "Do you think I gave him a live re-enactment of the juicier chapters." Slipping into ancient Venetian and not knowing.

"I'm sure he wouldn't have known what to do even with instruction." By this point so had Marius.

Daniel hooked even if he only understood a word or two recording to Google translate later.

"Well if I'm such a slut in your eyes. I'm sure I could teach him plenty." Arms folded stubbornly floating. Not looking at his maker now just the flames that shone bluer.

"If you wasted your innumerable charms on him, I'll make sure he tells me and realises how he should count his blessings. And mind his hands in future. You'd just re-entered society after trying to end it... Bloody opportunistic librarian!" Voice booming now after cracking at 'end it', famous self control be Damned. Registering the first part of Armands sentence. "Never that darling! Did he call you a slut? How dare he. Even a Englishman can still learn manners. Do you want me to go there?" Switching back to English having realised he was being rude to Daniel.

Daniel sitting down sensing a truce as they'd gone wildly off the topic of ice skating, touching on slut shaming and the possibility of Marius throwing hands with David. Who said bourgeoisie were boring.

Armand was also paying attention, Marius defending his honour even in hindsight charming. "No...not in so many words. What I want is to talk about past errors another time, explain the fallout. What I wanted was to bond over ice with you and Daniel. And perhaps get to see you fall on your pompous roman arse!" Gaze softening as he closed the distance to touch Marius' lips. "Promise he didn't get to tell how soft these were." Kissed the others fore head, then mouth.

Marius entirely charmed by the switch from anger to amorous just stared, arms wrapping to support Armand despite him levitating. "Ofcourse my love. We can ice skate. I'm sure Daniel has photos somewhere of me waddling like a giant penguin" He assured between kisses.

Daniel stopped the recording. "Wow a new make up record." Sitting back down with a indulgent grin.

☕️ + Daniel and Marius's relationship

send me ☕️ + [topic] and i’ll tell you my opinion on it!

It took me a whiles, anon. When I first read Blood and Gold I was genuinely surprised that Daniel had ended up living with Marius, let alone being basically under his care - his ward. With only a tantalisingly brief description of the gathering of main cast vampires on the Night Island Qotd, no relationship had been established - aside from the blood of his blood kind - between this roman grandpire/sire and the newest of the Romanus clan. Daniel being struck down by madness was a cruel twist of fate, yet it neatly explained why he hadn't appeared in TVA, conspicuous in his absence among those gathered in the resting place of Lestat to see the risen Armand. Fitted my own headcanons nicely infact and gave a uncharacteristically dusty Marius a reason to walk the earth, a purpose and atonement (geez because those romanus fuck up scales are rather over balanced in Armands favour lets face it) in one.

It seemed healthier and wholesome - testament to character growth, aside from being unnecessarily petty and salty about Daniels 'craft work' the ancient seemed patient and indulgent with this fledglings fledgling and his hobbies. No switches, angry tirades or anything that was atypical of his previous companion's and relationships. No withheld wisdom, or need to control therein. No pedestal for Daniel to be put on, and I'd imagine initially Daniels built in sarcasm and lack of putting Marius on one was startlingly refreshing and unnerving for Marius.

Perhaps because this didn't start out as a potential love affair (though it grew into one - a unselfish nurturing one I think- if not Marius' arse is grass if Armand had anything to do with it.) So Marius didn't fall into the standard tropes and traps with his loved ones. Daniel was lost, Marius was lost in an entirely different way - together they gave stability to each other which I found quite cute (even if initially on reading PL I was occupied with Daniels excitement with visiting New York/Trinity Gate and ofcourse Armand to ship this ship. Or atleast not in the way I've always invested in Armand♡Daniel and Armand ♡Marius anyway). The fact my inner Daniel was thinking of ways even a slightly mentally incapacitated Daniel could give Marius hell once he heard half of Marius' story - the juicy Armand parts where he's framed as the one in control and manipulator for instance added to the between the lines spice nicely. 😉

The dynamics between Armand/Daniel and Marius are depths that haven't been plumbed enough, Daniel can be their bridge and always offer his grandsire a levelling reality check.
