    Summary

    Louis thinks, as he looks to Lestat to find him already gazing at Louis, that the house is not the only thing that has endured damage and survived. This love that they have for one another—this irrational, doomed, feverish, beautiful love—withstood the test of time and all the tragedy that came with it.

    Or: After the reunion, Louis can't let go of Lestat just yet. These are the hours that follow.

    Summary

    "Are you okay?" Louis had to ask again, looking at him through his eyelashes, with the same eyes that Lestat had always loved, the eyes that Lestat kept dreaming of, the same eyes that Lestat had waited years to see again.

    Summary

    ‘They’re beautiful, aren’t they mon cher?’ Lestat whispered in awe over his shoulder. He gently placed a hand on the small of Louis’s back, a normal domestic gesture Louis had worked hard to forget but with little success, it seemed.

    Louis’s eyes shuttered the second he heard Lestat’s voice. He took another sharp intake of breath that had nothing to do with the pyramids laid out in front of him.

    Just like in Paris, he could feel a shadow of the man’s presence, and, faintly (achingly), smell his scent as tendrils of blonde hair swept across his shoulders as he turned his head to look at Louis. That bastard white devil always used to spritz his perfume into his hair, knowing full well what it did to Louis when he could smell it every time Lestat tilted his head, or turned his neck slightly.

    As their eyes locked, ethereal green on blue, Louis could sense that he was absolutely royally unequivocally fucked for the rest of his existence.

    ----------------------------------

    tl;dr

    What if Louis started seeing Dream!Stat almost immediately after Paris? And what if his hallucinations only got more intense after that?

    Summary

    “Oh, Louis.” Lestat stood to meet his gaze, his hands coming up to cradle Louis’ face with such fondness it made his knees buckle a little.

    “Would you kill Armand? Do you even care about Armand enough to slit his throat? Hold his dying body in your arms and wail like you did with me? With the one you truly loved?”

    Summary

    Louis can't bring himself to leave Lestat out in the storm, instead he takes him with him back to the hotel. Lestat may be an exhausted shell of his former self, but there's a familiarity there that makes Louis's heart ache. Talking with him, holding him, just getting to see him. It's all too much and not enough.
