"The trick is not to think about it. See that one there? Widow St. Clair. She had the gorgeous young fop murder her husband....She blamed a slave for his murder. Imagine what they did to him. Evildoers are easier, and they taste better."

Sir Ferrus ‘The Iron Man’ Manus sat hunched low over his drawing board. The room was dim, the early morning light not yet reaching the ceiling-high windows of his chambers. A small electric lamp with a shade worked in different shades of amber glass illuminated his efforts, freehand drawings for a new gearing system. His curious clockwork hands ticked and whirred quietly as he worked, the dexterity in his iron fingers belying their manufactured nature. How he came by his marvellous hands, whether by design or necessity, was a mystery as much to him as to any other soul curious enough to ask about them.
He sat perched on a high stool of plain black iron, stripped to the waist; the braces for his woollen breeches dangling around his hips. The skin of his remarkably strong body was pale, like fresh marble, with veins like dark silver running beneath. The muscles of his back and shoulders were defined clearly, his impressive hairless physique maintained through manual labour, but gifted to him by breeding.
He brushed a lock of black hair back over his left ear and looked back over his shoulder, almost shyly. The room was a well-appointed bedroom, high on the mezzanine level of his factory. The outside windows looked east across the river; the curved inner windows looked out over the factory floor, his domain. Plush velvet drapes were drawn for privacy, making the room appear like any well-to-do Gentleman’s sleeping chamber. A pair of brandy balloons next to the decanter on the nightstand, clothes left carelessly on the rug by the fireplace. The memory of breathless passion and unequalled intimacy.
A large four-poster bed of dark stained mahogany took up much of the far wall. The sheets, black Chinese silk, were rumpled around the most perfect being he had ever seen. His friend, lover, brother, whatever you wanted to call it lay on the bed, deeply asleep and breathing softly. Ferrus loved seeing him this way, as only he was allowed. No pomp and ceremony, no dazzling smiles and calculating looks with his astonishing violet eyes. Just him, the Viscount Fulgrim.
His face, so beloved of Society photographers and artists was guileless and innocent in sleep, like that of a young boy. His skin, pale like Ferrus’ own, had a singular luminosity even now in the lamp light. Silver hair, matching perfectly shaped eyebrows, tousled and unkempt across the silk pillows. The eyes, those impossible eyes, closed blocking out the world. The skin around them a shade darker, edging toward purple. His cheekbones, sharp and defined, any woman would kill for.
Fulgrim’s full lips parted slightly, a small frown creasing his brow as he dreamed dreams in vivid technicolour. Ferrus allowed his gaze to linger on his lover’s body, his abdominal muscles taught and perfect, like the rest of him. Ferrus felt his heart beat faster as his eyes found the black silk sheet barely covering his lover’s manhood. Knowing what was beneath; its utter perfection, the need he felt for Fulgrim growled in the pit of his stomach.
He smiled and turned back to his work. He always felt inspired after a night with the Viscount, truly inspired in a way he’d never felt before. Of course, his machines and devices were famous across the Kingdom before they’d met, but Fulgrim had a way of pulling more from him, more than he’d ever felt possible. His designs since had transcended science; gone beyond engineering.
They had become art.
The Viscount Fulgrim was his Muse, he realised suddenly. Ferrus longed for his gaze, a smile, a light touch on the arm. The unparalleled ecstasy of their bodies entwined. He craved it like other men needed water. To be seen by Fulgrim, truly SEEN was like feeling the sun on your face for the first time.
The perfection of Fulgrim was legendary, like his reputation as a decadent Society fop. But nobody knew the real him. The Big Show, the gorgeous clothes, the scandalous behaviour, the illicit substances. It was all an act, Ferrus knew now. The REAL Fulgrim was asleep in his bed, exhausted by his own manufactured persona. He was safe here and, Ferrus vowed silently, he always would be.
Ferrus would never judge him, never mock, never ridicule. Never get drunk and leave the party with some society sweetheart. As Fulgrim, sharp of mind and sharper of tongue, would likewise never make Ferrus feel inferior for his own failings. Shy, withdrawn, quiet. The very opposite of Fulgrim’s reputation, Ferrus had learned at an early age that trust was a difficult thing to come by. Bullied mercilessly at boarding school for his hands, his size, his intellect, his name. Children are the cruellest of tormentors and will turn your worst fears against you; Gorgon they called him. Ugly, unloved, unlovable. His quietude and sensitivity immediately targeted as clear evidence of his homosexuality, before the other boys really understood what that meant.
Well, it turns out they were right about that, Ferrus thought, reaching for his pocketknife and sharpening his pencils again. For the first time in his life, Ferrus felt a contentment he’d never known. The secrecy of their relationship was a small price to pay for what he got in return. Those in Society would never understand, but Ferrus didn’t care. He wanted neither their permission nor their acceptance. He had his beautiful Phoenix and needed nothing else.

I'm watching the 1994 'Interview With The Vampire' because I need to make my comparisons to my beloved AMC show and I haven't seen it for ten years.
Without further ado, my liveblog.
*
3.26: the straightwashing begins. Daniel and Louis did not meet in a gay bar.
Christian Slater is kinda cute tho.
5.00: Brad is already phoning it in. Jacob really had no competition at all.
9.05: the score is so melodramatic. kind of a bit much tbh. The flouncy shirts are 10/10 though.
10.44: I do love the line 'I'm going to give you the choice I never had' though.
15.35: also 'Actually I'm quite fond of looking at crucifixes'.
I'm remembering that I used to be able to recite lines from this film when I was a teen.
16.00: THERE WERE TWO COFFINS BOOOOOOOO. Not so in the book or series.
21.15: Lestat isn't being straightwashed as much, what with calling that fella a 'gorgeous young fop', but it's so caged in plausible deniability.
25.00: oh hey look, the racism from the book is in the movie what with the way the enslaved people are being portrayed.
29.00: Pitt's delivery is serving Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker and I don't like it but I DO like the fact that we get Pyromaniac!Louis in the movie. He didn't do a single pyromaniac in S1 of the show and it makes me very sad.
32.32: I do like the creepy harpsichord though.
General observation: I remembered Tom!Lestat being a lot flouncier and flamboyant but I guess he just felt that way compared with Stuart!Lestat. I actually used to really enjoy Tom's performance but it hasn't a patch on the sheer chaotic energy that Sam Reid brings in every scene of the TV show.
37.07: KIRSTEN KIRSTEN KIRTSTEN. She is the best thing in this film.
38.26: THERE'S LIFE IN THE OLD LADY YET. Lestat dancing with the corpse is iconic even to this day.
39.40: I always quoted it as 'I always know where to find you Louis, I just follow the trail of rats' and delivered it with about twenty times more flounce, and so 'All I need to find you Louis is follow the corpses of rats' delivered unflouncily is not as iconic. Boo.
43.33: Kirsten whispering 'I want some more' is perfect though. Both she and Bailey play very different Claudias and both of them are incredible.
45.00: Tom!Lestat is so tender with baby Claudia and it makes me kinda sad that Sam!Lestat and Bailey!Claudia didn't get more cute moments together.
50.50: the bit where Claudia watches the bathing woman and says she wants to be like her is a really good piece of writing. In some ways I think we can consider Claudia of having a sort of dysphoria. She wants a grown up body, an exterior to match her interiority.
53.35: Kirsten really brought the rage. I love her.
59.00: 'I hope it's a beautiful woman with endowments you will never possess' is mean, but Tom just isn't as good at the meanness as Sam is.
01.06.15: I'm sad we won't get Swampstat on TV tho.
01.11.22: I love Kirsten waltzing in the dressmaker's in her pretty blue gown. Want Bailey to get a similar moment because I love Bailey.
01.12.12: A WILD STEPHEN REA APPEARED. fuckin Santiago. he IS a buffoon.
01.13.40: the only person in this film who projects any sexuality (hetero or queer) at all is Antonio Banderas as Armand. I know people were whining about Assad Zaman but he looks way more like I imagine Armand than Antonio does.
There isn't any comparing the two from here on out because we're past the end of S1.
01.26.06: I do enjoy that Armand reads some very questionable romantic energy between Louis and Claudia, because of course the fledgeling of freakin' Marius would read that. Marius is vile.
01.31.30: 'I haven't tears enough for what you've done to me' is also a great line.
01.38.50: The Pompeii effect of Claudia and Madelaine's remains is very smart.
01.40.35: TIME FOR ANOTHER EPIC PYROMANIA FROM OUR BOY.
01.44.32: THEY ALMOST SMOOCH. And then Louis is all like, 'Soz Armand I'm leaving' and Armand pulls a 'If you leave me I will die' but then he still leaves Armand. TV show Louis would never leave a shitty manipulative man so easily.
01.50.05: What I DO hope we get in the show in lieu of Swampstat is Pathetic Husk Lestat telling Louis he's beautiful and being genuinely scared of him and absolutely PETRIFIED of helicopters. Delightful. Sam would nail it.
01.53.10: Actually amazing that Anne only fit one 'preternatural' into her screenplay considering it was her favourite word.
01.55.00: Apropos of nothing, I love Daniel's car.
And now it's time for the ending which remains pretty iconic.
So.
Queue up Guns and Roses.
And say it with me with all the glee we ever said it with before we had the TV show...
I ASSUME I NEED NO INTRODUCTION!
(Tidy up your sleeves.)
OH LOUIS LOUIS, STILL WHINING LOUIS! HAVE YOU HEARD ENOUGH? I'VE HAD TO LISTEN TO THAT FOR CENTURIES!
*
Conclusions...
I don't begrudge it. It's all we had for a very long time.
I remembered Cruise's performance being way camper than it was. Maybe it DID feel camp before we had Sam Reid doing the hair toss and shoulder wiggle and being completely unhinged.
Brad Pitt was so badly miscast it wasn't funny. He gives off the most intense No Homo energy I have ever seen and it's cringe. He does look miserable, but not in the right way. He's so monotone he could be saying 'I hate sand'. His hair is the wrong colour. You never really get any sense of who Louis is as a person.
Compare that to the fuckin' revelation that is Jacob Anderson, who has incredible range.
Bailey Bass was the only one who had any competition in terms of performance and I think the AMC writers knew it. The fact that her Claudia is so different from Dunst's gave Bass the ability to go just as hard, to perform with just as much gusto and pathos and horror, and to not have to face comparison. Both actresses are incredible. I hope Bass's career is at least as successful as Dunst's has been because she's SO GOOD.
It's kind of dull, though, the movie. The humour in the TV series is so important because there is something deeply goofy at the heart of the VC (even if 'IWTV' is very serious compared with the other books).
The movie isn't my favourite vampire movie (that's 'Only Lovers Left Alive') despite the fact that Rice's is the only vampire lore I really care for. It isn't even my favourite Neil Jordan vampire movie. That's 'Byzantium'.
I'm glad it exists. I'm glad it was good enough to keep us going for 28 years. But it's like feeding from rats and pigeons when compared with the TV series, which is like a long drink from the jugular of an attractive member of your preferred gender. It sustained us, but it wasn't a true feast.

The next chapter of In You I Trust is up and it's longer than usual. Here's an excerpt:
The dance was in full flow, with couples whirling around the floor. Normally, Mary would be with them, right at the heart of it, but tonight, the fashionable young men were steering clear of her.
On several occasions, she had seen some of her male acquaintances coming towards her, but then they’d apparently caught the eye of their disapproving mothers and diverted to another young lady instead.
It seemed the rumours were still in full flow.
She kept her head high, ignoring the little knots of matrons and gossipy girls casting glances at her and whispering. Instead, she amused herself by imagining Tom in these surroundings. In reality, she knew he’d feel like a fish out of water, but left to her own devices, she summoned an image of him in white tie, smart and achingly handsome, a real man compared to so many of the weak-chinned, lily-livered fops around her now.
She could see him perfectly in her mind’s eye, walking towards her, his hair brushed to a shine, asking her to dance. He would bend over her hand and kiss it, smiling up at her, his beguiling blue eyes full of mischief and affection. And then he would straighten up and offer her his hand, pulling her onto the dance floor. They would twirl around, him holding her close, and she would be the envy of all these small-minded debs, with the arms of her gorgeous man tight around her.
How she wished it could be so. With Tom beside her, all the disdainful looks and whispered jibes, all the conversations that suddenly ceased when she walked by, none of them would matter. Nothing else would matter. Because she had him, and he knew the truth and still loved her.
A crippling wave of sadness washed over her, threatening to make her cry, her little fantasy crashing and burning as she realised that was exactly what it was: a fantasy. It could never be real. Tom would never be accepted in this world of small-minded, petty people.

Daily Writing Challenge Feb 2022 – Days 1, 2, 3
@daily-writing-challenge
That’s not my hot Nightborne OC -this- is my hot Nightborne OC! Keywords: Love; Protect; Shine
Read part 1 of It’s Raining Gunmen here
Madames, monsieurs…
Never trust a man who says he is a lover, not a fighter. You know that old line.
You hear it after the Nightborne man leans up from the bar, puts the dark cigarette in his mouth. Soft lavender light floats through a pane of stained glass to cross the Suramar café done in the lavish style of Elisande’s ancien régime. A romantic, tragic time. That purple light makes this man’s handsome elven features all the more intense.
“Don’t worry about me, mon cherie… I’m a lover, not a fighter.”
But then there’s about five seconds of dread filling your throat, knowing that he’s already drawn his gun. That fast. Those words are always a ruse, as they say. Cruel poetry to protect his true, dastardly nature. Always a ruse to buy a true gunfighter one sweet little moment before your end.
Tonight, loverboy Sylvain Sabergryn who was very much reputed to be that type, styled as a fop would be styled, in all the frippery, tight wine-colored leather and blue skin bared that a man out for a hot date would wear, he stood in a blinding white column of arcane energy holding a silver shotgun. The raging magic tore out of the ancient Nightwell. The inglorious Nightwell that had drawn the Burning Legion back to Azeroth, the inglorious Nightwell that was said to have doomed the Nightborne people. Maybe in the era before, in the ancien régime of Elisande and her Mousequetaires armed with vile ley-rifles that could annihilate entire disloyal city blocks of Suramar, long before a mere First Arcanist could decide to let the very magical life-blood of their people rot away and die, Sylvain standing in such a deadly spot as the Nightwell would not have been possible.
But the Nightwell was dying. It wasn’t as intense, not anymore. So Sylvain was able to stand at the brink of the very arcane torrent.
Now? Yes, now. Sylvain stepped off the ledge into thin air. Nothing beneath him but the unknown depths of the ancient Nightwell and its full flow of hot white arcane magic thundering up. He dropped for a moment, and he had to take a sudden breath himself. But then the magic buoyed him up. Sylvain looked down and saw how he levitated, how fast he’d mastered this. A deadly feat, but pushing himself this far was very much worth it. He was able to hide from his quarry in plain sight. A manasaber must get close before it can pounce.
The bold young punk smirked at his enemy far off on the other side of the vault. The only other Nightborne man in the room stood next to the notorious talk show hostess Trixany Cuomo.
Sylvain raised his shining rifle, and this one was a true ley-rifle, gorgeous in all its delicate crystalline runes, the magnificent artwork of silver and magic coursing over the quadrupled barrel, and yet grotesque in all it might wreak on the one he hated more than anyone else in this fragile world.
“Maintenant pour la viser…” Now to aim her…
“Maintenant tirer.” Now to fire.
*Annoying Goblin pop theme music blares*
This episode of The Daily Mail Dalaran Show, now with shalassian and subtitles! is brought to you by Kaja-Cola Shadowlands Edition. How did we get that crisp anima taste inside of every can during the drought? It’s totally not because Kaja-Cola Co is partnered with The Jailer. Perish the thought, and enjoy the cola!
Now, on with the show. The last time we tuned in, our hostess was getting a safe, simple tour of the Nightwell for a rare Nightborne marksmanship demonstration. But instead, it looks like it’s raining gunmen! Let’s watch.
Trixany blinked as she thought she saw movement, somehow inside the light of the Nightwell itself far off on the other side of the vault. Or, what was left of the dying font of magic? Whatever it was had been in the shape of a certain young gangster gunslinging punk she’d only heard about in Shalassian myths and legends, or really fifteen minutes earlier in her show notes.
Swatting her cheeks, looking truly startled, Trixany gasped. “Um, what was that? Is there something there? Look! Right over there, watch out!”
When the Nightborne marksman Captain Jules le Mort looked to Trixany, the show host, he had to look far over his shoulder, then down. The sly Blood Elf woman had got back behind a wall of old metal crates. Her team of Goblin security guards must have been hunkered down as well. He could scarcely see one of them, so the rest had to be out of sight now too.
“What the fel—”
Another Nightborne’s voice cried at him, “Jules le Mort! My name is Mousequetaire Sylvain Sabergryn. You once sold me out to Elisande herself!”
“What? But Sylvain was disgraced… It can’t really be you! That was ages ago!”
“PREPARE TO DIE!”
A single, silver shot rang out. But it cried for havoc…
Stay tuned for more next time, after this special message from Gallywix’s Pleasure Palace!
Portly Gallywix wearing a crazy top hat sparking with fireworks, leader of the Steamwheedle Cartel Goblins, suddenly struts across your scrying orb onto what is obviously a bluescreen of Azshara. The autumnal scene of cliffs and forested plain sort of hovers around him, burning blue at the edges.
“Have ya ever considered buying a time share at tha heart of Azshara? At tha heart of action in Kalimdor? Relax poolside, take in a bit of golf, while ya watch tha Horde and the Alliance tear eachotha apart in an epic showdown below in one of Kalimdor’s most ancient! And beauuutiful! natural scenes? Hello there, I’m Gallywix of course, and for the next 140 minutes of this infomercial...” his stubby green finger points to the screen, “Do I. Got a deal. For you.”
...
Trixany’s Daily Mail Dalaran Show seemed promising, but her producers swapping between the fancy Nightborne aesthetic and Goblin corporate craziness really feels like too much. It is actually causing you stress. You consider finally changing the scrying orb channel.
But do you???

I’d rather be dry, but at least I’m alive. (Part 1)
“Po-Mr. Justice. This is strictly business. I’m sorry.” Phoenix averted his eyes from the young man in front of him.
Apollo’s entire body seemed to droop. From the little horns on his head to his legs shaking and…
I’m just unlovable.
“Why… what did I do to make you…?”
Of course. I’ve been waiting for this. He abandoned me. Like everyone else in my life.
“Mr. Justice. This isn’t personal. We’ll be on opposite sides of the courtroom. You have your reasons… and I have mine.” The blue suited man said, with a cold, calculating look in his eyes. Those eyes that used to be filled with such… pride and... love? Was that it?
Or was I just pretending to make myself feel better?
“Those eyes… they… why…?” Apollo whispered to himself.
It was all fake. All of it. How could I believe him? How could I have trusted him?!
“Two lawyers from the same firm going head to head? Who could have thought? Ha ha!” Paul Atishon said.
He... he promised that he wouldn’t leave me! He promised! He... he lied. Like everyone else in my life.
“Da… no. Mr. Wright. I should have expected this.”
Jove died on me. Dhurke shipped me off to Japan. Kristoph was just using me for status. And now Phoenix. I should have learned by now. No one could love Justice.
“...Mr. Justice. I’m sorry. I’m… so sorry.” Phoenix said, trying to stay stoic, but with tears in his eyes.
He’s not. This is his way of telling me to leave him alone. To go away from his little family. I’m not worthy of his love.
Apollo took off running. Just… ran. Rain started falling.
“Apollo, wait!” Dhurke yelled out, before trying to follow him through the rain.
You… you abandoned me here in Japan. You promised you would come back! But… I don’t blame you. I’m unlovable. How could someone love me compared to Nahyuta… or Trucy… Athena? Never. Kay, Sebastian? The Great Thief and The Best? Simon? Klavier? Maya? Pearl? They’re too good. I’m just… me.
He crashes into something after running for far too long. “Schatzi!” Klavier smiles at Apollo, and plants a kiss on his forehead. “You’re literally falling for me, huh?”
Klavier smiles at me like I’m... special.
“Don’t… please… don’t pretend to love me like this…”
“Pretend? Herr Forehead, I’m not pretending.” The blonde pulls the shorter attorney to his chest in a hug.
He is.
“How can I believe you? Let me go.”
“Liebling? What’s wrong?”
Schatzi? Liebling? He’s the gorgeous rock star. How could he love me?
“I said let me go.”
The glimmerous fop reluctantly obliged. Apollo shot off again, slipping on the pavement a ways away from Klavier.
“Huh? Pollo! Are you alright?!” Athena ran over, draping her umbrella over a soaked Apollo.
“Thena…?”
“Polly, you look like shit. What happened to you? Who do I need to fight. No one messes with my brother.”
Athena thinks of me like a brother?
“Just… go. Leave me alone.”
“Apollo…? What’s wrong? Did something happen to you?”
“Just… just leave, goddamn it! Get it over with! Stop pretending to care about me!”
“Apollo, what’s gotten into you?! I love you! You’re my brother!
She doesn’t. She’s just using me. Just like Kristoph and Mr. Wright. The goddamn bracelet. If I didn’t have it, she wouldn’t still care about me.
Apollo shoots off for the third time, hearing Athena screaming his name behind him. He can feel something warm on the back of his head, but he sure as hell doesn’t care.
“Polly! Where are you?! Please, come back! Daddy didn’t mean it!” The little magician called out from behind. “It’s just a big misunderstanding, Polly! We all still love you!” Her footsteps got closer. “Polly! Is that you?! Please… I miss my big brother! Come back!” She says, and she finally collided with Apollo. She grabs him from behind and holds him in a tight hug.
Trucy literally calls me her older brother. More lies.
“Polly, you’re bleeding! Calm down and let me look at it! Thena and Klavier both called me, saying they ran into you and that you were acting really weird!” She said, dragging him into the nearby cafe.
“Truce, let me go!”
“No! Athena and Klav both made the mistake of letting you go, and you’ll just start running!”
“That’s the point, Trucy!”
“Well, I’m not going to let you go, Polly!”
“...I’m sorry, Truce.”
“What?”
Apollo shoves her off him and bolts out of the cafe.
“Polly! Come back!” Trucy screams from the floor.
I should have known that they were all goddamn liars.
Apollo took his bracelet off and threw it into his pocket. His body was so tense, it wasn’t working. It wouldn’t tell him whether or not someone was lying. He sat on a curb… somewhere in the city. He doesn’t know where he is. Tokyo’s a big city. What are the chances that they’ll find him here?
If possible… please… try not to embarrass me.
Kristoph motherfucking Gavin. Even from a goddamn prison cell, he wouldn’t leave Apollo alone.
Et tu, Justice?
“I’m sorry…”
How could you betray your mentor like this?
“I’m sorry.”
You’re just a disappointment.
“I’m sorry!”
The voice in his head changed to Phoenix’s.
I should never have offered you a job.
“D-Dad…”
Without your bracelet, you’re useless to me.
“I’m so sorry…”
Ha, I was “grateful” for Clay telling you to take the job? I “wouldn’t have my beautiful son” without him? I can’t believe you fell for that. You’re supposed to detect lies.
“I just… felt so happy… even though I left you…”
That’s right, Apollo. You left me. You left your siblings. You accused Athena of Clay’s murder.
“I didn’t want to believe it!”
You just couldn’t trust her. How could you betray her like this. Betray us?
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…!”
How do I believe that, Apollo?
Apollo felt his vision slowly fade away. Trucy’s voice filled his head.
Just die already! No one would miss you!
Then Athena’s
God, I should just throw you off a bridge.
Dhurke’s comes next
I can’t believe I saved you. I didn’t raise a son who runs away at the slightest inconvenience.
And finally… Klavier’s voice echoes.
You’re a 5’5 nerd with a big forehead. I’m a rockstar who could have any Fraülein that I wanted. I can’t believe that you actually thought that I could love you.
And with that, his vision finally faded to black and he collapsed.

Hahahahh this one cracked me right up, Anon. Anyway, this happened…
Enjoy! (Short and sweet! Very mild smut)
––––
Following the Persian about had gradually become something of a hobby, fueled by boredom and a vague if passive curiosity, though if Erik were honest with himself, the obsession had mainly been a response to the man's own odd and oft-aggravating surveillance of The Opera Ghost in his various going ons beneath the Opera. In truth––besides killing him outright––Erik really didn't know how to express his annoyance at his old friend by any other means than, well... simply annoying him in kind.
Today Erik had followed his feet quite without realizing where they had taken him, thoughtlessly accompanying the old Daroga through the bowels of the Garnier and well beyond, through the summer market in the Bois where he (very-mundanely) purchased a chicken, two heads of asparagus, and four! macarons, then on a leisurely stroll through the first floor public gallery of the Louvre. Now, ingloriously crouching at a dirty window in a lonely alleyway off the Rue St. Honore, Erik held back a dingy curtain and studiously stared as the well-built-if-aging man trimmed his beard in his steamy bathroom mirror. After preparing and placing the chicken in the oven, the old Daroga had long-ago undressed, carefully hanging his dress shirt and his trousers in the modest apartment's solitary wardrobe and wrapping himself in a long white towel.
Nothing exciting, Erik knew; he really ought to go…Christine Daae would be performing tonight, after all!
And yet.
The old Daroga was far more interesting to look at without his clothing on than he had been with. He had the body of a man far younger than his deeply-lined face would suggest; despite the graying curls at the center of his fine, distinguished chest, he possessed a sort of muscular, sinuous thickness––smooth and taut and lean––that Erik found himself unintentionally admiring. As the odd, yet not entirely uncommon tingling beneath his trousers could apparently attest to, the Daroga was certainly a fine specimen of masculinity.
Erik always had an eye for beauty.
As the Persian turned to the tub, letting the towel loosely slung about his hips fall to the cracked terra-cotta tiles, Erik mindlessly drummed the tips of his gloved fingers on the stone windowsill, staring. Between his old friend's shapely legs hung a sizable shaft, sleepily bobbing against the thick curls that clung to his inner thighs; above that, as he bent low to test the temperature of the bathwater on his fingertips, two lush mounds of soft, supple, honey-brown skin, shiny and reddened with steam––
"Daroga, old chap!" Erik mused aloud, as steam crept up the window-glass, obscuring his view of the aging Adonis within, "who knew! A cock like a log––God willing, he hasn't wasted that thing. And an ass like two plump, juicy, chocolate cherries…!"
He released the curtain, allowing the gauzy fabric to ease back into place and chewed at his twisted lower lip. He was suddenly ravenous: he really ought to stop at the sweet shop on his way back home, or risk succumbing to an all-together more desirous craving…
Little Christine Daae could wait. Her young man would surely be in the wings to admire her anyway––rendering his own angelic praise unfortunately redundant––and Erik hardly needed to spend yet another night surreptitiously crying in a darkened restaurant window as he watched his beloved protege be wooed into bed by a gorgeous, if alarmingly doltish, complete and utter fop.
But perhaps it was a good evening to pay a visit to his old friend, after all!
And this time––in the flesh!

I KNOW GUYS, PHAROGA!!! Stay tuned, I have three or four more of these I wrote over the weekend that I just need to take a second and upload, but more smut is on the way.
Feel free to keep sending me prompts y’all! I’m too stressed to work on anything I am supposed to (the virus is pretty bad where I live) and I’ll likely keep slowly plodding along with these (not in any order though, I’m sorry!) for the bulk of the quarantine, or until the baby is born! :)
-Cat
PS! I’ve been slowly compiling some of these short smutty prompts in a collection on Ao3 called Far Too Many Notes for My Taste, if you are interested in keeping track of them.

also lindy is not butch or femme she is Just Lindy.
she very much does not subscribe to either label, and finds them, Personally, pigeonholey for her.*
if you Really wanted to give her a label in the presentation-behaviour-subculture regard, the Correctest ones, in order of most to least Correctness, would be ‘garconne,’ in the ‘young woman of the 1920s who rebelled against conventional ideas of ladylike behavior and dress’ sense, or ‘androgyne,’ if you want to call her a word people actually use today ; with ‘fop’ or ‘dandy’ close behind. she is Mayhamps decently masculine and definitely feminine, but she sees herself more in and i believe willingly emulates the overdelicate, sometimes consciously superficial feminine of effeminate [ gay ] men, most notably of the 18th century late-baroque court fashions and 1920s burlesque clubs than ~traditional~ Str8 Woman Feminine or Str8 Dude Masculine. she seems to really like this sort of Dandy Masculinity, with its feminine overlay on top, sort of. this doesn’t mean lindy wants to be a man, or is a man by any stretch just so we’re all on the same page.
she also sees herself in, but feels more of a Deep Kinship to, trouser roles in the opera. as said before in an earlier post lindy’s Gendre is 'opposite of man,’ but her gender, to a certain extent and more accurately, is also ‘trouser role in an opera.’ it’s ‘trouser role in an opera cosying up to a gorgeous lady monarch.’ essentially, lindy’s Looke is ‘dandy foppish masculine,’ with its masculine foundation and femininity layered on top, but also ‘trouser role’, in which people stop for a second to wonder whether or not she’s Really male or Female.
lindy’s use of makeup and Ladielike demeanour and mannerisms does not make her a femme, but her decision to dress almost exclusively in menswear does not make lindy a butch either. lindy intentionally mixes Gender Symbols primarily through clothing, but also through behaviour ( ie Dykespreading and kissing the backs of women’s hands and bowing to them instead of curtsying in court ~Like A Man~, but possessing the warmth and charm and Outward Appearance of a ~Woman~, ) so she is not Explicitly categorised as either one.
peep the first third of the wardrobe section on her pinterest board for a clearer example of what i’m saying re clothing.
is her official title ‘lady?’ yes. is she feminine? sure. is she masculine? to a certain extent. is she gnc? through and through.
lady evaline falbury, called lindy, she / her, gnc lesbian.
*not to say, of course, that butch / femme as a whole is pigeonholey in any sense: I Myself am a femme writing several butches and femmes i’m the LAST person to call my Own Subculture restrictive. but lindy has tried calling herself both labels and she found them to be restrictive. labels you pick for yourself are supposed to be helpful and feel natural and you shouldn’t feel pressured into the behaviour accompanying it. so butch / femme wasn’t for her.
#im sure this makes NO sense but im hoping visuals help.#this is important so uh. if u cld take a gander that wld b fab.#lindy canons tag to come.

Lulzy quotes from OCs #1
Luc: *enters the room Astaroth is peacefully laying about in* Master take cover, quick. The castle will be under attack any minute.
Astaroth: *bored* What now? A bunch of homicidal homophobic fully equipped stealthy vampire hunter priests falling from the skies?
Luc: No, much worse.
Astaroth: Worse? What can be worse than “a bunch of homicidal homophobic fully equipped stealthy vampire hunter priests falling from the skies”?
Luc: The IRS.
Astaroth: ………………..……….. Right. Lock the stables, get my bombproof coffin and don’t let me out of it even if the most gorgeous young fop walks by. AND NEXT TIME, FALSIFY MY TAX RETURNS! Ò.Ó

Men in the 1800s talking about women they like:
Some rich fop: "Geoffrey"
Other rich fop: "Yes Gregory"
Rich Fop: "Look at that young woman. Does she not have the most gorgeous ankles you have ever seen?"
Other Rich Fop: "Indeed. I also find myself captivated by her quick and even breathing"
Rich Fop: "She is breathing like that because she's suffocating, Geoffrey"
