    Summary

    Lestat has a very high tolerance for pain. The near-decapitation line across his throat, the swollen, punched eye, the million tiny nicks and cuts from broken glass – none of these bother him.

    But the exquisite agony of his reunion with his maman, his dearest Gabriella… this! This is a torment too sweet to bear!

    ***

    After Lestat and Gabriella's reunion, Lestat begins to better understand their relationship and why it feels so bad.

    Summary

    “Louis, why did you go after the Detroit coven by yourself?”

    “Request from the Talamasca.”

    “And why, pray tell, are we doing what those dim-witted, magically obtuse pencil-pushers request of us?”

    Us. There hadn’t been an us when it came to them in a long, long time.

    Summary

    “Why do you ask?”

    And fuck, if that doesn’t rattle the box Louis’ tried to lock this up in, and if they weren’t trying to be better, do better, Louis would ask him why do you think? Would ask him what goes on in your head that you think I wouldn’t want to know all of this? Would ask him what it is about the two of them, who can talk for nights on nights on nights, who can know each other’s topography and undersoil, who can live within the most wild and rugged terrains of one another, yet only turn over their most weathered stones for tourists.

    -

    Louis and Lestat argue about moving in, the interview, and finally, deeply, darkly, about Magnus.

    *SPOILERS FOR SEASON 3 EPISODE 1*

     

    The slam of a door, and then Louis is in front of him, pulling him up, touching him, running his hands all over his body, gentle, and delicate, barely grazing his skin. Scared, almost.

    "Christ. Jesus fucking- Lestat, what the hell did they do to you?"

    *****

    Daniel informs Louis about the fight. Someone else is already there by the time he reaches Lestat.

    Summary

    After eighteen passionate but tumultuous years together, Louis and Lestat seem to finally be on an even keel: married, successful in their careers, raising a wonderful daughter. So why is Lestat falling apart now? And how can Louis help him when Lestat won’t even admit that anything is wrong?

    A shamelessly hurt/comfort, plot-lite, straight to the catharsis human AU, lightly canon flavoured.

    Summary

    “I’ve told you,” Louis says, tossing the bag of cancer-laden chemical corn puffs into the garbage after plucking them from Claudia’s lunch bag that he’s packing for the day, “I don’t want her eating this shit.”

    Defiantly, Lestat pops open a bag himself and tosses a handful into his mouth.

    Louis glares while Lestat serenely chews and swallows.

    “She likes them, cheri,” and the pet name is nothing but further fuel to the flame right now, “and your government has approved them for consumption. Where’s the harm?”

    “Read that ingredient list and answer your own question,” Louis shoots back, reaching for the cupboard that holds the sides for Claudia’s lunches and grabbing a container to put some Mary’s Crackers into. Lestat watches him, nonplussed, as he chews another mouthful of artificially dyed nonsense.

    (louis is beyond thrilled to be a father) (now if he could just get lestat on board with his non-gmo, free range, dye-free, organic food choices for their child)

    Summary

    "And you’re a pain in my ass, but I know this is important to you. And you’re…fuck.” He kept walking. Lestat began to follow again, a recognition of old worship washing over him. “You’re important to me.” He said, facing forward. Onward. “Claudia is gone.” Her name felt like spikes in Lestat’s ears. “My only fledgling is gone. The man I was with for 77 years directed their deaths, and then turned the one fucking guy I liked to talk to into a harbinger of death and tried to force him into my care. I’m pissed at him. Pissed is the understatement of the millenia, even.” Lestat tried to speak, tried to seize this opportunity to remind Louis of the beauty of their reconciliation, but: “I’m pissed at you! You won’t stop slandering me in public, won’t stop writing songs about how much you want to fuck me at the same time. You make me so angry, and I still–” Lestat almost thought he’d say it.

    He didn’t.

    OR

    Lestat and Louis, while trying to retrieve Nicolas' music box from the Talamasca, have a lot to work through.

    Summary

    There’s a panic within him that Lestat hasn’t felt for years when the sunlight streams in a perfect circle containing Claudia and Louis’s fledgling, a panic he hasn’t felt since the night he felt tainted blood rise to his throat and the love of his life drag a knife across it. It’s the panic of an ending unexpected, of a rug yanked from beneath him. He made his choice. He chose Louis. He knew if it came down to using his abilities to sway the audience, he only had the power for one. It wasn’t even something he had to think about. It was Louis. It was always going to be Louis.

    But it’s Claudia before him now, looking back at him with a daughter’s eyes even as her face begins to crumble into ash.

    Summary

    A headache throbbed at his temples.
    Damn it. It was one of those nights.
    Erin groped for the lonely lacrima on the bedside table; his fingertips found cool, finely engraved stone, and he tapped it. A pale light suffused his room. Shadows lurked in the corners, but his simple cot and the writing desk across from it were thrown into sharp relief. Erin considered his journal, awaiting him patiently on the desk, but a pang of pain lanced through his temples, and he balked at the prospect of trying to focus on writing. No, tonight was not a journaling night.

    Or: it's insomnia o'clock, and Erin can't sleep for the life of him. For better or for worse, he discovers that he's not the only one awake.

    Summary

    Louis de Pointe du Lac is, in 1907, one of the more successful Black businessmen operating in Anderson's orbit—not because Anderson particularly likes him, but because Louis is precise, discreet, and genuinely talented at making complicated arrangements run smoothly without drawing attention. He manages several properties in the red light district. He is twenty-nine years old. He attends the Opera alone and in the fourth tier, and the Opera is the one place he has learned to feel things without managing them first.

    Lestat de Lioncourt has been in New Orleans longer than anyone currently alive can remember. He has been present at the French Opera House in various unofficial capacities since its opening in 1859. He does not have a formal arrangement with management. He doesn't need one.

    -

    Or, Daniel, in 1977, insists that the Opera ghost is real.

    Summary

    The man sitting in front of him is a vampire, that much is clear from the moment he first laid eyes on him. He's interested in renting the entire venue out for a few nights, hosting a private party for some old friends. He’d like music, and drinks. Live music, if possible, live music and drinks in the same package, if they would be so kind. And a special request, one he has not divulged yet, but which Louis is sure they will find a way to accommodate.

    *****

    Being in the spotlight opens the possibility of coming face to face with some old ghosts, and when hallucinations and reality have started to blur into each other in your mind, who's to say what's real and what's not?

    Summary

    “Lestat? Are you all right, buddy? Can you hear me?”
    Lestat does not respond, does not move, does not breathe. The echo of his heart, though present, seems more distant than it has ever been.
    It is terrifying, deplorable, sickening in a way that brings blood and bile to Louis's mouth. Lestat sits motionless in that armchair, his hands clenched on the armrests. His lips are wide open, glistening with saliva that he makes no effort to swallow. His eyes are open.
    That's the worst part. He wants to turn away, he wants not to look at them, he wants to avoid seeing them altogether, yet he forces himself to take a step forward.
    “Les, baby?” he whispers uncertainly, as the sour taste he holds under his tongue plagues his every thought.
    That look is so different from what he knows, from what he loves, from what he remembers. It is dark, dark as if the pupil had enlarged to eat away everything. It is distant, absent, motionless.

    OR

    Lestat falls into a deep dissociative state as he tells Daniel about his making. Louis doesn't know how to bring him back.
    If only there were a way to get inside his mind..

    Summary

    Deafening, the sound of her.

    A pounding at his ear drums, an aching ream of resonance singing round and round the shell of his ears. Whipping winds howling at his eyes until he can barely see, bloodied tears pooling at his lids, catching in his lashes, courting dust, dirt, debris, the smell of the Mississippi hauled outta her riverbed and up in the air, drowning him as he tries to steady his feet. He can’t vamp. Not with his hand still holding fast to the knot of Lestat’s robe, not when the hurricane would force him, them, any direction it wanted, toss them around like a cat with a muddy-shelled roach, and vaguely he realizes that he has no idea where he’s going.

    -

    Louis and Lestat leave the shack the night of the hurricane, seek refuge in a store, navigate too many memories, argue, ache, and maybe figure out the start of a way forward.

    Summary

    “It is I who should apologize,” Lestat whispered. “I never meant to make you cry. I just did not expect you to react so strongly.”

    Louis stared at him.

    Lestat had the decency to look abashed, but continued, “You said you wanted to kill me. Still, even now. And besides! It is not like I would actually die.”

    Lestat is taking his attempted murder remarkably well. Too well.

    Louis is not.
