    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.

    Summary

    Lestat, freshly showered, sits on the couch in pajamas and a silk black robe, absently flipping through one of Louis' books.

    "I don't mind sleeping on the couch tonight," Lestat says, setting the book down, eyes trailing after Louis.

    "You're not sleeping on the couch," Louis scoffs. He enters the bathroom, not bothering to entertain the conversation. "The bed is huge."

    "I just want to make sure you're comfortable."

    "If I wasn't comfortable, I wouldn't have come out to the middle of nowhere with you," Louis says.

    In a trailer in the middle of the desert, Louis and Lestat get to know each other again.

    Summary

    Ilya closes his eyes.
    He blinks back his tears. He wants to nod or shake his head or something, but he can't.
    This can't be happening.
    He blinks and blinks and blinks again but he's still in the hospital and he still feels like shit and his mom is dead and Shane is far away and he thinks he's depressed and there is something inside of him that he doesn't know what to do with.
    Fuck, he thinks, in russian and in english and in french, even. Fuck.

    Or, in 2020, Ilya has a (very) unplanned, (very) complicated pregnancy, Shane has to learn that sometimes things don't work out the way he planned, and some other things. Set in The Long Game, kind of.

    Summary

    In late October, Ilya picks up some kind of freakish Canadian flu that dogs him into November.

    It is the weirdest shit. He has to duck out of practice because his nose starts bleeding twice in one week and he wakes up in a hotel in Columbus with another one that leaves stains on the pillow. On the flight back to Ottawa, Hazy drops into the seat next to Ilya midflight and asks, "This isn't, like, a cocaine thing, right?"

    Ilya laughs so hard it's probably a little rude.

    They have a plan. Ilya's body has a different plan.

    Summary

    “Louis,” Lestat said, the edges of his voice only cracking a little. Offering up the most casual and unaffected smile he could manage. “To what do I owe the pleasure this evening?”

    Louis’ eyes flicked from Lestat’s face slowly downward, lingering on his bare torso in a way that made Lestat feel like he was being eaten alive. “In town on business,” he said when his eyes landed squarely on Lestat’s face again. A little curl in one corner of his mouth, his eyes an otherworldly green Lestat ached to dive into. “Decided I was in the mood for a show. You gonna invite me in?”

    Lestat stumbles through a haze in which nothing is clear but ghosts. The drugs banish them, usually, but it isn't a perfect science—on an unlucky night, what yesterday swept them away resummons them tenfold.

    Summary

    “What do you want, Louis?” Lestat cuts in, narrowing his eyes salaciously. “Do you want me to beg for it?”

    Louis’s lawyer opens his mouth, but Louis cuts him off, looking straight at Lestat.

    “I have a string of new businesses,” Louis says, shrugging one shoulder, like all of this is casual. “Appealing to a specific type of clientele.”

    Lestat’s top lip curls. “You want me to promote your clubs.”

    “I do.”

    He sighs. “I can make an Instagram tweet.”

    Lestat has refused to speak to Louis since the book came out. Suddenly, in the middle of his rock tour, his account with Roget is drained. Louis has an interesting way for Lestat to get his money back.

    Summary

    Louis knows the pressure wouldn’t be enough to make himself come. But Lestat was different. Lestat, as Louis came to know him over the years of their companionship (or, acquaintanceship, friendship, ex-husbandship), was that if you can get Lestat riled up enough, he can come from anything—a hand coming down on his ass, a fingernail on the slit of his cock, a feather across his tits.

    A gust of wind.

    But, after nearly three centuries of carrying this burden alone, it might finally be time for Lestat to share. And, more importantly, to heal.
