Summary
Sometimes, it feels impossible that he gets to have this. But here they are, in a beautiful house in a beautiful desert under a beautiful starry sky, and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow until the heat death of the universe.
The idea of it doesn’t scare Louis nearly as much as it used to.

Summary
On February 14, 2014, Russia passed "The Omega Repopulation Initiative" law.
Rapidly declining birth numbers, and the inability to keep up with the in vitro research of western countries, led a desperate Russian government to decree that everyone with the secondary gender designation of omega henceforth could be conscripted to birthing facilities, where suitable alphas and betas would be selected for genetic screening and compatibility with the purpose of repopulation.
The male omegas, a rarity even among the rare omegas, seldomly made it to the facilities. Instead, they became symbols of the most exclusive of commodities, traded among those who believed the worth of a human life was theirs to decide.
Ilya Rozanov was known to everyone as an alpha.
He mysteriously disappeared during the Sochi Winter Olympics.A tragic casualty of civil war, the world agreed.
The world moved on.
Shane Hollander didn't.
(Or: Against all odds, Ilya finds his way back to Shane in a world that readily believed him dead and moved on without him. This is a story of healing, and of how far you’ll go for the people you love.)

Summary
Louis throws back the last of his sazerac and clicks into the call two minutes late on purpose, his laptop propped on the kitchen table in the middle of a quiet day – a rarity these days, but Claudia is at school and he has about forty minutes before he has to go get her.
“Mr. du Lac,” the boy says, tongue curling over the consonants and in his voice, Louis thinks, home. The thought is unsteadying, which makes Louis’ defense system instantly come up. He’s supposed to be in control here.
It’s probably the French, he knows. He doesn’t get to hear it often here in LA.
After their previous one quits without a proper notice, Louis caves and hires another au pair for Claudia. He expects him to fail. Lestat has other plans.

Summary
There’s still a big part of him that wants all the same things he used to. The hockey, those other interests, the simplicity of the smaller circle. But there’s a twinge of something else now beside it when he considers it for too long, a bruise he can’t place the origins of. He’d been able to put somewhat of a name to it, after Rose.
He only wishes he hadn’t filled in the rest of the blanks staring down at a grainy photograph of Svetlana Vetrova in a convenience store parking lot in Boston, a bag hanging off of her manicured finger just transparent enough to make out the logo of a First Response as she’d ducked into a sleek, black sports car, driving away with Shane's best worst would-have-been and, presumably, Ilya Rozanov's baby.
Shane feels no particular way about this turn of events. He really, honestly, mostly is somewhat close to believing that, too. It's progress.

Summary
After all, poor Lestat, vomiting his guts up and nodding off sitting down. Poor Lestat, who can’t seem to keep the blood in his system with how often he needs to use the restroom. Poor Lestat, who can’t stomach his usual victims and has to go looking for something to satisfy the urge. Poor Lestat, who has no idea what’s going on.
Poor Lestat. Poor sad, broken Lestat. How could they possibly stay angry at him, when he’s suffering and he has no idea why? That would just be cruel.
And this would make them angry, because they believe him to be a being with enough power to make himself suffer to earn their love. They think him pathetic enough.
He doesn’t even realise he’s crying until the blood drops land on the toe of his shoe.
He can keep it to himself for now. It’s just about him. It’s his business.
If things change or worsen, he’ll tell them.
He swears.
____
Lestat's body is changing for the first time since the day he died, and he has no idea why. All he knows is that until he can learn more, he cannot tell Louis and Claudia, not wanting to rock the boat after just being welcomed home after six years seperated. This goes wrong. Thankfully, that's just the beginning of everything going right.Series
