“Do you know who I am?” he asks next.
“No,” the omega responds, this time truthfully. “Will you tell me?”
A bout of silence passes. Maybe the stranger considers doing away with the mystique. But then,
“No, not yet.”

Summary
She’s been calling him Lestat now, instead of ‘papa’ or ‘pops’ or the more severe ‘father’ she used to break out when she was being dramatic. Like she can distance herself from him, like she didn’t use to follow Lestat around like a shadow, imitating his every move while Lestat pretended not to notice, making increasingly dramatic gestures until Claudia was spinning around, laughing so hard she was doubled over. That feels like forever ago now, an entire decade between that family and this one.

Summary
“My Maître would simply like the evening’s plans to go ahead without the reveal of a seam,” Armand simpers from his draped position on red velvet. “There’s much to discuss with the visiting provincial nobility he intends to host, as I’m sure you can imagine. Besides, at least the Prince is fairly predictable unlike some of our esteemed society fixtures. Even in these last years in titular exile, he has always been particular in his choice of accessory, has he not?”
And, well.
Louis would be hard pressed to deny that.
“Always has liked himself a blue-eyed blond.”
*
1787, Paris. Louis is a bourgeois man in the city with dreams of elevating his family name and securing his beloved siblings' futures through earning a title. While he has many businesses, it's his work as a pimp catering to the aristocrats of Versailles that he sees his path to social elevation, but when he falls fast and hard for Prince Magnus' prized courtesan, Lestat, things get - - complicated.

Summary
Transported back in time, Megumi must rely on the only familiar face in Heian Japan. Ryoumen Sukuna, a curse to some and deity to others, decides to keep him.
The futility of Megumi’s plans distilled into desperation, which had him contemplating that name again: Ryoumen Sukuna, the only familiar one here.
But the people spoke of Sukuna in this era with utter terror. There was no air of triumph like in the modern day. Sukuna hadn’t been sealed yet, and the world knew him as the unbeatable, invincible King of Curses. He wasn’t the Sukuna that Megumi knew.
Canon-compliant through current manga arc and at least season 2 of the anime

Summary
Betrayed by his brother and bound by a magic he can’t even see, Prince Damianos finds himself overthrown and trapped in Veretian territory. Help comes in the form of Laurent, a Calligrapher who is specially suited to help Damen—for a price, of course. Safe passage to Ios is the payment, and together they strike out across the Veretian wilderness, dodging pursuers and finding help in the most unexpected places. Trust comes slowly, and Damen finds himself falling for his stubborn and intractable traveling companion. And sure, Damen hasn’t told him he’s a prince yet, or that he's heading to Akielos to reclaim his crown, but what’s a secret between friends? Or, as their journey goes on, lovers?
But Laurent is hiding a few secrets of his own, and eventually Damen will be forced to deal with the fact that the magic that binds them can also divide them.
