For day one of @valenfangs ! Bouquet
***
It had been Lestat's idea, the flowers, standing here now Marius wasn't sure it was the best idea. Yet here he was and he could hardly walk away now.
"He'll appreciate them, trust me."
Lestat had said.
Marius had no doubt Armand would like the flowers for their looks. The meanings however where what changed his usually calm expression into one of concern. He'd picked the blooms with the help of the florist: Red roses for love and passion, forget me not for devotion and memory, heliotrope for eternal love, and white tulips, for an apology.
It was a letter written in a gathering of flowers. Words he found hard to say otherwise, or didn't know how to say. The bouquet felt heavy in his arm though the flowers weighed nothing to him. The white flowers so simple yet the whole thing pivoted around them. He couldn't remember if he had ever voiced those words. The thought of retribution too much. He hoped that if Armand didn't want to hear it that he would simply ignore the deeper meaning of the flowers and spare him the sting of rejection.

the saddest thing ever is that marius was in venice for, what, like 20 years? it was such a tiny phase of his life, it's like when you have ADHD and you're really really really into a hobby and convinced it's your new thing and then you burn out in 2 weeks and never touch it again.
it's so sad like he was with Armand for 4-5 years at the most? especially when he spent 200+ years with his other fledglings? he even spent like entire centuries around Avicus and Mael? was in Constantinople with them for nearly a century and he doesn't even LIKE Mael?? (or so he claims, smh.)
anyway very sad that the Venice Era is like, the cornerstone of Armand's entire worldview. A friend phrased it like AS ROME IS TO MARIUS, MARIUS IS TO ARMAND -- everything will always ultimately come back to these principles, to how Marius identifies as a Roman or how Armand wants to live up to the paradigm of Marius's approval, to his identity as Marius's student, and it was such a tiny tiny tiny little piece of Marius's life.

God TVC is full of the most vanilla normies who want the title of Anne Rice freak. Oh Marius is the worst person ever for slapping someone who, through the entirety of history to that point, was seen as a full ass adult. How dare Marius act within his station in 1499 and not be watching Bluey to learn how to Gentle Parent.
Y'all talk about Armand is the kinkiest freak in the world but you don't think he likes it when Daddy is rough? You don't think Armand was intentionally baiting Marius? Tell me you never been in gay spaces watching Boys begging to get fucking belted by Dads.
Vampire Master Marius dominating and disciplining a much younger Armand is hot and a feature not a bug. Block me mad about it sweeties

Something something about how Pandora is so passionate about the Temple of Isis and loves her goddess, and how Armand is also devout and religious.
Right after Pandora is turned, she's happy to believe Akasha is a goddess and rambles about how she will restore her worship across the lands, while Marius is aghast that she can believe such a thing.
After Armand is turned, he's kidnapped and taken into the Children of Darkness, where he becomes a fearsome cult leader, a true believer, who will subdue any immortal who doesn't fall in line.
Both of them are so ready to believe in something bigger than themselves, to throw themselves into the passionate worship of something greater, to be the acolyte of something that they believe is true.
Marius has a type, that's what I'm saying.

i want a human AU about Marius as just a really boring guy with an office job, divorced sad sack nearing mid-life crisis realizing he hasn't made a career of his many passions, super strung tight and touch starved and lonely and a friend (probably a weirdo friend like Avi) finally gives him the number for a dom service he should try. And Marius's interest is piqued; he remembers being into stuff like this before the divorce shriveled up his libido, and tbh it's not entirely even ABOUT libido as much as like, maybe he just wants someone to hit him so that he feels something, and then he'll be able to get some sleep.
so anyway a few weeks later after he's worked up the courage and filled out the little survey online and signed all the waivers and submitted his medical documents etc he has his first session with Amadeo; he shells out for a nice hotel room, not sure if it's appropriate to bring this person home, maybe secretly wanting to show off, but Amadeo is so cold and deadpan and doesn't even comment on it, isn't impressed at all. He shows up in jeans and a ratty hoodie and just pushes forward to go change in the bathroom, and comes out in tight black shiny gear, flogger in hand, and after an hour Marius's ears are ringing and he's red all over and he had no idea so much degrading, mean shit could come out of this angelic looking face.
Amadeo doesn't talk much afterwards but sticks around for a little while, back in his jeans and hoodie, and he makes Marius tea and asks if he wants a massage. There are a few minutes that Marius feels the threat of sub drop hovering at the edges, feeling old and stupid, thinking his life has been a waste, but Amadeo is graceful enough to distract him. Doesn't talk much, just enough, asks if he wants to put a movie on, and Marius watches the soft curiosity in his face as he keeps glancing at the screen.
Marius tips him well, thanks him, spends the night in the hotel since he paid for it.
It becomes a regular spot in their calendars. They get a little more elaborate. Amadeo is honest when he's not confident about something, and keeps it professional, but he allows Marius to teach him. Marius shows him all the knots he likes, and teaches him some other methods for impact play. More and more, in the aftercare when they're done, Amadeo's personality comes out. He talks more. Marius even gets him to laugh.
And Amadeo is professional, but he's young. Marius notices when his resolve starts to chip away. Maybe Marius leans into it, even though he knows he shouldn't. Maybe it turns into breaking some rules on their original contract, like when they finally make out. And the time Marius finally reaches to touch the bulge in Amadeo's pants, because Amadeo never gets off in their sessions. Even Amadeo's agency discourages unsafe sex or fluid exchange, and neither of them talk about it when Marius finally sucks him off, and Amadeo comes all over his face.
So what happens when it gets unethical, when they're in too deep? Amadeo tells him one night that he doesn't think he should see Marius as a client anymore, that their boundaries have become too murky, and he suggests someone else that Marius could see instead, but it just turns into them meeting outside the agency. Meeting in the daylight, for coffee, and Amadeo blushes when Marius puts a hand on his leg beneath the table.
"I still want to pay you, you know," Marius says, near his ear. "Not as a client. I just want to pay you."
And just a bit longer before they finally start meeting at Marius's house. Off the books now, no agency involved, but Marius keeps paying him. And texts him through the week, buys him clothes, Venmo's him with a note to treat himself to lunch. Whenever Marius gets paid he thinks about how much he'll pass onward to Amadeo. Sometimes, watching the numbers drain from his bank account feels the same as an orgasm draining his body.
Maybe a year in before they finally fuck. And at first it's still Amadeo in charge. Smacking him on the face and telling him what to do, telling him how fast to go, making demands. Riding him for the first half, staring down at Marius like he's worthless. Stoic for as long as he can before he falls apart whimpering, and then he's just a brat. He doesn't protest when Marius takes control, flips them over, rails him into the mattress. Tears in Amadeo's eyes as he comes on his soft belly, and he presses his hands to his face to hide.
Then, the next time after that, Amadeo actually spends the night.
His name is Armand, he admits one day. Quietly, after dinner, as Marius signs the check. His real name, he means. And he's blushing again, and looking away, and tells Marius he can still call him Amadeo if he wants to. But his name is Armand. If he likes that instead.
And Amadeo was the dom, but Armand is something else.
Marius should have known, when he saw the eagerness, teaching him how to work rope and teaching him the best places to land a flogger and he should've known as Amadeo's façade cracked, every time they've fucked, the way he became so small and needy. He should've seen the way his big wet eyes could follow Marius around the room sometimes.
Subbing was fun for Marius and he needs it sometimes, for sure. But he's in too deep now. He needs both, he needs anything. He needs Armand most of all. And domming Armand is just as good.

I posted about it before but now I can't find it but the Marius/Armand feast scene is hilarious to me from both perspectives.
Armand being desperately horny that Marius is killing:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Marius' increasing hysteria that he's raised a child who doesn't appear to have any moral objection to him murdering and eating people:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Armand starting to sob solely because his master is yelling at him and killed the one man who was nice to Armand (despite that man also being the one blackmailing Bianca):
Tumblr media
And after everything, Marius desperately trying to salvage some sort of learning momrnt from this night and introduce the idea of moral ambiguity to Armand only for Armand to be like soooo if I do that will I become like you which is so remarkbly unhinged it makes me cackle everytime:
Tumblr media
Absolutely no lessons learned for either of them, 10/10 romance no notes.
