    Summary

    The first surprise (besides seeing a fledgling vampire gathering rats on Rue Royale, besides feeling Lestat’s presence like an electric-shock hum beneath his skin as he followed that same fledgling into grimier, rundown corners of the city that was his, once, besides seeing Lestat miserable and quiet and clutching at his wooden mockery of a piano) is that it’s Lestat who pulls away first. The second surprise is the reason why.

    Summary

    Lestat used to seem to drink life itself, to hold so much of it inside of him. He used to feel like putting your bare hand on a furnace and feeling the ferocious roar of fire inside. Heat and motion, his Lestat.

    Or: Louis takes care of Lestat, then Lestat takes care of him.

    Summary

    "How long have we known each other?" Her voice felt rusty.

    Raoul was sprawled next to her on the bed. He blinked at the ceiling and cracked his neck. "Twenty years?"

    "Twenty years," Buri sighed. She felt like steam was rising off both of them. "We could have been doing this for twenty years."

    Sometimes it takes a while to go from friends to lovers. But it helps if you can read each other's minds.

    Summary

    Louis gaped at him. “You…do know what it is I’m asking, right?”

    “But of course,” Lestat sniffed. “You want us to move past this oh-so-casual arrangement we have been cultivating for the past years, n’est-ce pas? You want us to date? Well, Louis, my answer is no.”

    Lestat plays hard to get. Louis plays along.

    Summary

    “Need I remind you,” Louis said, in that same low, cold voice, “that I never married you.”

    “Need I remind you,” Lestat snapped, “that you bound yourself to me, in that church, on the altar!”

    Now it was Louis’ turn to laugh.

    Lestat wears a ring. Louis doesn't. Daniel pries, and gets a bit more than he bargained for.
