    Summary

    Hedonist that he is, Lestat has never particularly cared to be held to the constraints of a schedule. Louis may enjoy the routine and predictability of something as prosaic as the requirements of managing a business–one of his many little idiosyncrasies that Lestat simultaneously enjoys and is frequently irritated by–but for him? Non. He can enjoy the artistry of a well-planned ball or the satisfaction of a business deal well-struck, but he’s always enjoyed the freedom of not quite knowing what’s coming next. In a long, long life, it’s far too easy to fall into a rut and find oneself constrained to it for decades before noticing.

    Even with his taste for surprise, however, Louis holding out a tiny, sooty, sniffling child is a shock he is not best pleased by.

    He flicks his eyes up from the big-eyed, dripping moppet, raising a brow and feeling his lip curl slightly in distaste. The child reeks of smoke and fear and God only knows what else.

    “Put it back,” he says flatly.

    (AU based on the idea of Louis finding Claudia at the age of five like in the book but raising her until she's old enough to be changed) (marked complete because each chapter can stand alone but will be updated)

    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

    “My name is Charlie Spring,” he whispers, staring at the unfamiliar boy in the glass. “My name is Charles Francis Spring,” he tries again, attempting to mimic the way his family speaks and wrinkling his nose when it comes out sounding all wrong.

    “I am Charlie Spring,” he says one more time, desperately, trying to ignore the way the name feels wrong on his tongue. The way his body feels too tight and uncomfortable, as if he's been shoved into something that isn't meant to fit him.

     

    [Or: Charlie Spring comes back wrong after an accident in Year 8. The only thing he is certain of is Tommy.]

    Summary

    Appearing sixty years in the past on the lap of a brooding Goblin King, wallowing over his defeat at the hands of a dashing Labyrinthine Champion wasn’t really part of Sarah’s plan.

    Nevertheless, she was the Goblin Queen; she’d get home to her husband and son somehow.

    As for her Not-Quite-Husband running into his future wife...well...he's not so willing to let her leave this time...
