    Summary

    “I’m not trying to clean up any mess,” says Louis, so sincerely that Daniel almost believes him. “Frankly, you’ve done better than anyone could have been expected to, under the circumstances or otherwise. I’m offering because I care for you, Daniel, and because you should have had more support from the beginning, and this is an unfair way for anyone to enter into undeath.” And, he adds, in a thought hardly louder than a whisper, if it should have been me, then at least let me — help out, now. I can’t undo the past. But I can do this.

    “I don’t want to be your — your charity case,” says Daniel, out loud. I don’t need your fucking pity.

    Louis looks at him for a long moment. Daniel, if you think pity is what I am feeling for you, maybe you do need my help after all.

    Summary

    In which Daniel Molloy pulls himself together (then has another nervous breakdown, then pulls himself together again), Armand doesn't know what a 3D printer is, Benji has a Plan (of which Step H is roughly shaped like the movie The Parent Trap), and nobody here can keep their noses out of each other's business.

    (Or: In which the author is on a holy crusade to right the wrongs Anne committed in Blood Communion, such as not mentioning Daniel even once.)

    ***

    “People call in sometimes, and they say, ‘Whatever happened to the Vampire Daniel, anyway?’ What am I supposed to say, you know? ‘Oh, Daniel Molloy? Yeah, he lives in my house, he’s got a room up in the attic with some mad science experiments or something, we’re blood relatives, but I don’t know what’s going on with him; we don’t talk.’ Come on. That’s not responsible journalism. The people want to know!”

    Summary

    Armand picks up the bag and upends it over the bed; he picks out the antibiotics and deposits the eight boxes in Daniel’s lap.

    “What the fuck…”

    “These are all different — which ones seem best suited to your predicament?”

    “Predica— oh my god, man, you can’t be for real!”

    Armand frowns. “Daniel, please. This is serious.”

    “I mean… it’s really not.”

    “Blood poisoning is, in fact, extremely serious, beloved. Now please, tell me, which of these should you take?”

    “Uh, these are all pretty strong, I don’t need any of these.”

    “Yes, you do.”

    “It’s not healthy to take antibiotics for no reason!”

    Looks like Armand will have to crush the pills into his food.

     

    Or: Armand, the plagues and the wonders of medicine. And Daniel. So much Daniel.
