  Summary

  When Irina Rozanova was thirty-five, she ended her own life.

  Before she did, she left her son twelve letters: confessions, apologies, and twelve years of trying to name the man she could never quite remember.

  On *his* thirty-fifth birthday, all Ilya Rozanov wants is a quiet day with his husband.

  Instead he gets a package nobody admits to sending, answers to questions he never thought to ask, and a full Pandora's box of every fear he has about becoming a parent.

  Shane just wants to make a spreadsheet about it.

  Summary

  Born from the cursed headcanon:

  …but what if Lestat was Ilya’s biological father?

  And what if the answer to that question involved a Montreal concert, Daniel Molloy functioning as everyone’s deeply underqualified therapist, Louis reconsidering every life choice that brought him here, and Shane Hollander attempting to manage an existential family crisis with the power of color-coded spreadsheets?

  A story about fathers and sons, inherited wounds, religious guilt, terrible coping mechanisms, and discovering that loving someone enough to stay is one thing.

  Answering when they call is another.
