    Summary

    Claudia watched as Madeleine’s nails pressed against the man’s cheek, creating small indents. She watched as droplets of blood spilled past Madeleine’s lips, staining her chin, dripping down her neck to run over her collarbones, the messy eating of a newborn vampire. She watched as Madeleine’s skin grew pinker, as it began to glow, reinvigorated with fresh blood. She watched as Madeleine’s eyes fluttered closed, as she held the man’s neck ever closer to her, drinking as much as she could, lost in the ecstasy of the kill.

    --

    or: Claudia and Madeleine's first nights together.

    Summary

    “Claudia?”

    Clauda lets out a breath. She comes back to herself, all the tension falling from her shoulders.

    “The pieces of me that want to go bang,” she admits through narrowed lips, “well, they’re kinda rattlin’ around right now.”

    “I’ll be forty-eight in the spring,” Claudia says.

    “Oh, that is not so bad then,” Madeleine says. “Not scandalous at all. You are not even quite old enough to be my mother.”

    Summary

    ‘Oh,’ says Madeleine, spotting a scattering of chrysanthemum petals on the pavement beneath her feet, among the damp and yellow leaves. ‘It’s La Toussaint.’

    So that’s what it is. ‘The Feast of All Saints,’ she says. ‘Marked it in New Orleans, too. Well, we didn’t, so much. Little need for saints in our house, or remembrances.’

    ‘Everyone will be in the churches or the cemeteries. Let’s find them there.’

    ‘You still wanna try tonight? Gonna be a whole lot of melancholy, most likely.’

    Yes, I want to. You know I do. Come on.’ Hunger, rolling from her in waves, but more than that, the thrill at knowing she’s about to try something new.

    Summary

    “We have to eat, Madeleine. Just because you're one of the lucky ones who got to choose to be turned doesn't mean you're more evil.” She runs her thumb along the lukewarm skin. “There's evil out there but it's not you.”

    A justification follows with no hesitation: “I do not regret this.”

    Summary

    “Hey! You want a ride home?”

    Madeleine raised her eyebrows, a twitch of lips betraying her attempt to conceal a smirk. “And how exactly are you planning to do that?” she asked. Her brown eyes crinkled in amusement, giving Claudia’s outfit another onceover. “Do you have a little tandem bicycle hidden somewhere within the skirts of that ridiculous dress?”

    Claudia grinned.

    Summary

    There is one thing that has taken decades for Claudia to truly understand. Maybe if she had paid more attention back in New Orleans, she would have gotten it sooner. Lestat’s lecturing and Louis’s spineless choice in who got his love. Maybe if she had ever given up, gone limp in Bruce’s grasp instead of trying to scratch his eyes every chance she got. Maybe if she had looked through the stained glass window of Louis’s head and seen that she’ll never come first to him, no matter how much he thinks he’s protecting her or catering to her. When it comes down to it, Claudia’s hopes, desires, fears, her life-- it’s always been up to some fuckass man who thinks with his dick.

    Summary

    Turning her hand over, she traced the lines of her palm and let her fingers travel on the soft map of the forever young skin until the tip of her index met the tip of Claudia’s sharp nail. And then she pressed. A pearl of blood formed just as saliva pooled in Claudia’s mouth.

    "What did you do that for?"

    "Curiosity."

    --

    Or, Claudia and Madeleine share a little pastry and they both probe slightly at the boundaries of their friendship.

    Summary

    Claudia imagines Madeleine kneeling behind her on the bed, just as unclothed as she is, and she imagines her tracing complex shapes on the bare skin of her back, her hands traveling across her body and causing goosebumps to rise. The blood, in her imaginings, has been washed off by now, but Claudia doesn’t think she’d mind much if it hadn’t been. Maybe she’d even prefer it.

    Or, Claudia imagines the possibility of having Madeleine.

    Summary

    Jealously is an unflattering emotion, twisting a person’s face uglily more often than not, but Claudia feels it now anyway.

    Or, Claudia, lust compared to violence, and what never growing up means in relation to desire. A horrifying equation, all things considered, but maybe it doesn't always have to be.

    Summary

    “You want something from me,” she said, looking up.

    Claudia stood by the window, in her usual place, framed in lamplight and shadow. Her silhouette had become familiar now. Small. Precise. Still. “I gave you the truth,” she said without turning. “That’s all I got to give.”

    “No,” Madeleine refuted. “Not all.” Her hands were steady, though her heart was not.

    Claudia’s eyes met hers -- those deep, unreadable eyes, dark and bright at once, like cathedral windows catching light from some unseen blaze. “You already know.”

    (or the conversations before Claudia brings Madeleine to Louis).

    Summary

    Madeleine shifts from one leg to the other, uncharacteristic of the vampire she’s meant to behave as. The leftover blood in her from the night before throbs. A steady trickle of it begins its descent downwards within her. Danger is her favorite aphrodisiac.

    Summary

    Some short porn where Claudia experiments with feeding on Madeleine.

    "Do we bleed?" she asks Claudia one night, as they rest against each other in her larger coffin.

    "'Course we do." Claudia always brightens at the thought of blood, and it feels as though it goes deeper than the natural urge to feed. She wants to be a predator. She craves the hunt. "Why d'you ask?" she asks, naturally curious.

    "I only wondered. I still don't know what I am." Madeleine is honest with Claudia to a fault. "It feels better, but I don't understand it all."

    "You won't. Not for a while." Claudia runs a fingertip down Madeleine's chest. "You want to see what it's like?" she asks suddenly. "To bleed?"
