VC Fic Rec Friday - Valentine's Edition (Sort Of)

I have missed this the last few weeks as I've been recovering from a nasty flu. Zero stars, do not recommend. These are not Valentine's fics but because my two favorite soft comfort ships are Marius/Daniel and Louis/Armand, these are a few great fics that feature those pairings:

Louis/Armand

🩸 Crucible of the Flesh by @covenofthearticulate Very tense, sexy and lovely fic of Louis exploring his desires and vulnerability in Armand's very capable hands.

🌃 See You Later by @leslutdepointedulac Great missing scene fic where Armand and Louis discuss his departure for Court.

🎄Christmas in New York by @darkangel1791 Lovely holiday fic where Armand takes Louis around New York trying to get him out of his shell with ice skating!

Marius/Daniel

🏠 House Hunting by @fofoqueirah Marius and Daniel search for a house in Rio de Janeiro. Written by someone who's actually familiar with the area, there are a lot great location details in addition to this being a wonderful fic.

❄️ Red Snow by @this-writer-needs-coffee Marius cares for Daniel, who is lost and confused during his madness. Marius takes such good care of him.

⌨️ The Surface of the Abyss by @inexplicablepeas Another great fic where Marius cares for Daniel and uses a typewriter to coax Daniel out of his head.

Happy Friday and Happy Valentine's Day!

Friday Fic Recs!

It's Friday! This week was absolute madness at my work so my brain feels a little like swiss cheese. I hope you all had a good week and are looking forward to the weekend. Also, just a quick note, I am going to forgo these posts for the next couple of weeks due to all the fandom events happening in the beginning of February, because I think there will be a SO MUCH amazing fic coming out and we will all be trying to keep up with it!

Now here are my fic recs this week:

🏢 Interludes by @sunshinerambling

Armand/Daniel - Set during QotD but after Daniel is turned I am a huge fan of fics that force characters to confront their past, and this is a fantastic story about Armand and Daniel doing exactly that, as they head back to an old apartment and rummage through the things they left behind before they head to Night Island with the rest of the Coven. It's got everything I want: humor, some light angst, amazing banter, and a sweet ending. If you have not read this yet, what are you waiting for??

📻 Daniel and Armand Fic Box by @ whisperbird

Armand/Daniel - a collection of ficlets and vignettes This is just a great collection of short stories. The first one is Daniel telling Armand how he first encountered death as a kid, the second is Armand's POV of finding Daniel in Lestat's house playing Louis' interview on tape, and that's just the start. There's a lot of great stuff in here and I highly recommend checking it out.

Happy Friday!
