    Summary

    ...

    Post season 3. Helendale. It should be easy, slipping back into this, into one another. And in some ways, it is. But love isn’t just a feeling, it’s something you do. And neither of them has ever done it quite like this before.

    ...

    “Her limbs are still heavy, but she wraps herself around him, and Dale sinks into her hold, his arms pulling her close. She buries her nose in his shirt, tethered by his fingers in her hair, and his scent in her lungs.

    She is home in his arms, always was, from the very beginning. She lost sight of that when her fears took over; lost sight of him.

    They cling to each other like people who have lost one another—with relief, and a hint of regret.”

    Summary

    What if Louis turned Claudia before he brought her back home to Lestat? What if Claudia and Lestat were the ones who could speak into each other's minds, and Louis was the one who felt like he was on the outside? How far would things change? Or to what extent would they stay the same?

    Summary

    Venice, 1630.

    The Plague slithers through the alleys, infecting the city and sowing death everywhere. But this is not just an epidemic — something ancient is awakening beneath the foundations of the Serenissima.
    When he receives a call from an old friend, Louis de Pointe du Lac is forced to return to the Old World and join forces with his ex-lover, Lestat de Lioncourt — a man he once fled across oceans to forget — to face a threat that could consume them both.

    Summary

    Louis froze, stopped scrolling. Hovering his thumb a scant few millimeters over the phone. Feeling what he saw beaming out from the screen like a kick to the belly. His mouth tilting open and his pulse picking up all at once. He felt the tingle of it all the way down in his bones. It was—

    A suggested reel. The account: thevampirelestat. The caption: Introducing The Vampire Lestat. You loved to loathe him in Daniel Molloy’s best selling page-turner Interview with the Vampire. Now get ready to…

    Summary

    “It matches.” Lestat deflected, shoving back the confusion, the pain blooming through his chest. “The carpet and the drapes,” Lestat raked his hair from his face, still unable to tear his eyes off the mirror. His hand curled, empty at his side.

    Louis inched closer, without touching him. He waited for Lestat to look up. “Remember,” Louis’ hand slid into place. His other hand automatically pushed Lestat’s hair off his forehead. “Not scared-ness.”

     

    Or

    Louis and Lestat are on the skids, again. Claudia has fucked off the 'God knows where' and Lestat has lost his place in the world. Everyone he's ever loved has left him. He pours his broken heart out to the moon and throws a coin into a fountain.

    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

    At the coven's trial, Lestat had to make a decision. In the most twisted turn of events, it's Claudia that he uses his remaining strength to protect.

    Why is that?

    With exhausted and aching hearts, Claudia and Lestat flee to New York City and try to start new lives in the ruins of their family bond, just for the time being. After an uncomfortable interaction with her maker and a build-up of envy, Claudia finds the nerve to venture into New York's nightlife. Meeting new people acts as her freedom from Lestat's loneliness. That is, until a charming jazz singer mutually befriends both vampires, causing unresolved jealousy and resentment to resurface.

    Summary

    “Do not try to deflect, Lestat De Lioncourt” Louis demanded in his best teacher voice. Lestat would be lying if he said it didn’t make him feel just a little bit intimidated, “and tell me, why is our daughter playing with Annabelle’s ugly cousin!”

     

    Claudia has a new best friend.
    Louis doesn't like it.

    Summary

    “Well, I suppose that’s it, then,” Claudia said briskly. “Now we’re both dead, both because of you. Happy?”

    Lestat snarled and flung a rat at her. It hit the wall, missing by a large margin, and slid unceremoniously to the ground, for which she fixed him with an unimpressed look. “Really, Lestat? What are you taking it out on me for?”
