Summary: Set during the IWTV-era, Armand is pressured to choose between the vampire he has long desired for nearly a hundred years, and the fledgling of that same vampire - alluring in his inquisitive nature and tenderness. Time is running out for Armand to make his choice, while Lestat, who is at his mercy, is being held in a cell in the bowels of the Theatre des Vampires - also desperate to salvage what he can of what he once had.
Notes: For @elisaintime/TheScorpion (AO3).
🎁 This is a gift for TheScorpion, in return for the wonderful gift they gave me last holiday season! I hope this hits that sweet spot for you of Lestat and Armand having tense/angsty moments, Armand thinking and talking about Lestat with others (but the real challenge was that Lestat himself has a diminished role in the fic itself!).
HUGE thanks to a few ppl who helped me with plotbunnies and encouragement along the way: @hekateinhell, @emileesaurus, @eliestela (tumblr), and @rebness (AO3)/ @wicked-felina 💘
