    Summary

    “How can you do this?” she spits. “Pretend they never existed?”

    Lestat falters, his smile turning sad. “Oh, ma petite.” he sighs.

    It sounds condescending. It’s also very unlike Lestat, who would have sooner had a shouting fit had she brought it up back in New Orleans. Never one to talk about his feelings.

    Now, he keeps her gaze.

    “I have just learned how not to show it. You will, too, in time. I will teach you how to endure.”

    Lestat and Claudia survive the trial.

    Summary

    No, this is no great departure from that. That, the well-trodden road past the nightmare, complete with adamant and sweeping denial that he was even dreaming at all. If it were New Orleans, they might already even be laying back down, Lestat already waxing poetic on the ‘bad blood’ he must have had that evening and the horrors it does for one’s sleep. 

    And yet, it is not New Orleans. Bummer. Louis could use a smoke.

    *
    Louis, one headbutt into his journey of re-learning the joys of co-sleeping with Lestat.

    For a brief moment there is nothing but fear in Lestat's eyes.

    Fear that the stutter has returned.

    It started when Lestat was nine. Louis knows this.

    Summary

    There actually aren’t that many birds in Nevada. Not that much gardening, either. What there is is a lot of fucking. Fucking and feeding and surprisingly little fighting. Neither of them actually has much of a green thumb, it turns out, but evening primrose is extremely easy to care for. Louis likes the fantasy of it, though, of remaking the acres of land they now have. Of learning how to get dirty, how to work for something real.

    Summary

    *SPOILERS FOR SEASON 3 EPISODE 3*

     

    He doesn't know what compels him to find Lestat, after everything is done.

    Perhaps it's the emptiness, the deep void he can almost see spreading within himself. Perhaps it's just the loneliness, or the need to be with someone who knew her, and loved her. Someone who can understand.

    Or maybe it's just the fact that he really, really, misses him.

    *****

    Louis decides to meet with Lestat after killing Bruce. What he finds there is not exactly what he had expected.

    Summary

    Louis can't decide what to do with the bedroom. He puts away the candles, disassembles the lightning system, pulls down the frame with Jakob Smits, and leans it faces-first to the wall. Stands in the middle of it all, staring at the bed. He hasn't slept in this bed since returning to Dubai.

    Or: Louis comes back from New Orleans and redecorates.

    Summary

    -

    "Am I to believe you are playing the vampiric Père Noël, Louis?"

    A smile tugs at the corner of Louis' mouth as he shakes his head. "Does it look like that's what I'm doing?"

    "Well, I admit your commitment is lacking. You are not wearing red. Nor do I see any attempt at a beard. And you did not even come down my chimney."

    "You don't have a chimney," Louis points out. "The fire's electric."

    -

    It's Christmas in New Orleans. Not that Lestat notices - that is, until Louis shows up with a tree.

    Summary


    “So he’s holding a grudge a little longer than usual,” Louis says. “He’ll be there on the first day.” Charming all the new corps, he thinks bitterly; deciding whose legs he will have wrapped around his waist by the end of the week’s practice, if not before.

     

    “Not this time,” Armand says, and Louis suddenly recognises the look on his face. It’s the subdued panic of a man who is attempting to stem the flow of water through a cracked vessel with only his hands, incapable of patching it before every last drop escapes through his fingers. The same look, in fact, that he had given Louis when he’d thrown a duffel bag at Armand’s feet and told him he had fifteen minutes to grab his shit and get out. “Lestat doesn’t intend to quit the company. He intends to quit ballet.”

     

    In the grey stupor of London, Louis is preparing the Azalea Gallery's forthcoming exhibition and worrying about Claudia. He doesn't plan to add wrangling Lestat, principal dancer of the Royal Ballet and his kind-of-ex-husband, into the mix – until Armand comes knocking, and makes him an offer he can't refuse.

    Claudia can’t sleep. Lestat is back home for the first time in over six years. Just two rooms over, sleeping peacefully in Louis’ coffin. She hasn’t felt this much anger in ages.

    *****

    The day after Lestat's return to Rue Royale, and an almost honest conversation between father and daughter sometime after that.

    Summary

    From what Louis had told him, Daniel had pictured Lestat as a Frenchman in his late-thirties, pug-faced, maybe a little balding, and permanently red in the face from the burst capillaries that come with too much drinking and smoking. The truth is a bit of a hard punch to his stomach, an uncomfortable tightness in his throat.

    Daniel has worked too hard on his relationship with Louis to let some French asshole take his place.

    Summary

    He sees Louis’ eyes flit between Claudia’s body next to him, Antoinette’s bloody corpse on the ground, and Lestat against the wall. The dagger is still in his hand.

    Louis finally gets up and takes a step towards Lestat.

    Lestat’s knees buckle, and he lets himself fall to his knees. He raises his head in acceptance, bares his throat, and says, “It’s okay. I see that now.”

    The plan doesn't work. Claudia falls. Lestat doesn't. Louis has to figure out where to go from here.

    Everything changes - maybe for the better, but it won't be easy.

    Summary

    "By the time the show ended, Claudia was exhausted and up way past her bedtime. Daddy would have gone straight home, but Lestat had his chauffeur take the limo through a McDonald’s drive through. They went up to the top of a cliff, far enough outside the city that they could see the stars, and sat on the hood with their Big Macs and their extra-large sodas. Lestat smoked, which he wasn’t allowed to do in the house because Daddy was under the impression they had both quit, and told her the stories of the constellations. Told stories, anyway. Looking back, Claudia doubted they were entirely accurate."
