    Summary

    “Can we sleep in the bed?” Louis offers, flippant, his voice quiet between them.

    “I thought you decided that you liked the coffin,” Lestat murmurs and Louis can feel the movement of his lips where his thumb rests at the corner of his mouth, the whispers of his breath, quiet and calm now.

    “It’s not the coffin,” Louis reiterates. He follows the shape of Lestat's bottom lip, watching the naked openness of his face crack and shift, violet eyes beneath the sweeping curve of his lashes. “Sleep with me, tonight?” 

    Lestat swallows thickly, blinking slowly like a very pleased, very dazed cat. “Yes, Louis.”

     

    Or, Lestat and Louis make it home after the bench.

    Summary

    Louis had thought they might kiss on the bench. Thought they might kiss, and go home together, and more, because no matter how hard he tries to lie to himself, he's spent his whole time in Montreal imagining how nice a gold wedding band would feel on his finger. Except then, the world had tilted on its axis, the night sky had spun around him, and now…

    An alternate take on the aftermath of the decapitation: After waking up first, Lestat ditches Gabriella, the band, and the concert to wait by Louis's bedside until he heals.

    Summary

    When he was a child, death fascinated him. It was terrifying, and mysterious, and uncharted, and beautiful. The cowboys riding off into the sunset, the soldiers riding into battle. It filled every inch of the stories he was told. Fairy tales, myths, cowboy ballads-- his father sang him Streets of Laredo as a lullaby every night until he was six. He only stopped because it always made Soda too sad.

    He had spent lots of time thinking about death-- anytime he’d look at the stars, it wouldn’t be long until he found himself wondering and yearning for something he couldn’t place. What was beyond them, if anything? What were they made of? Where did they go in the daylight?

    ~

    a deadly tornado has touched down in tulsa, and all three curtis brothers are scattered across town. they're not getting out of this unscathed. but they'll always come home to each other. even if death seems to follow them wherever they go.

    Summary

    Lestat wanted to say, I know that you love. I know now; I spoke to him. You have much more love than cruelty. But the words could not escape his chest. Instead, he simply said, "I talked to Paul."

    Thirty minutes before Lestat takes the stage for his final concert, he tells Louis who he spoke to when they were apart.

    Summary

    “Where are we?” Louis asks, finally taking in their surroundings. The coffin seems to be on the ground of a narrow, rather disgusting apartment, filled with wood paneling and far too many windows. And people. There are so many people crowded in the doorway, standing along the windows. Standing outside the windows, banging and shouting to be let in.

    “My tour bus,” Lestat replies softly, “We are at the concert.”

    “The concert--,”

    “I know,” Letstat interrupts quickly. “I know. Gabrielle and the band spirited us here without my knowledge.”

    “Or consent,” Louis adds menacingly.

    ***

    What if Lestat woke up first on the bus?
