Summary
After five years working as an ER doctor in a busy hospital in New Orleans, Doctor Louis du Lac decides that it's time for a sea-change. He takes a job at remotest place he could get, miles from mainland Britain, where he shares a surgery with an ageing GP, Doctor Daniel Molloy. Together, they take care of the health of the quirky personalities and lost souls of the island as Louis tries to find himself and his happiness.
PS: Warning-tags will be added to the chapters as they're spoilery.

Summary
“Have you any idea how many years I spent pretending that the hand at the back of my neck wasn’t my hand?”
Louis, through his lips stained red with tears, “Seventy-seven?”
“Non, my sweet Louis. One hundred and ninety-nine years.”
It takes a minute for Louis to register what’s just come out of Lestat's mouth. It seems improbable, big in a way that can’t be contained in this room, this conversation. Louis can’t believe Lestat is admitting this to him, slicing a piece of his heart and serving it to him like a sickening hors d’oeuvre, with a fucking wall of ceramic between them. Lestat has been alive for 264 years. They were together for 65 years. This simple maths, this elementary subtraction, has worlds bursting to life within Louis. Filling up the spaces between his synapses, inflating his veins. It’s so like Lestat to give up an offering like this in such an easy way. Like the confession booth doesn’t separate them; Louis the priest and Lestat the sinner.

Summary
Louis is a fashion photographer in New York and Lestat is a model. During their first meeting they realize that the other is a vampire.
Louis and Lestat’s connection is instant and mutual, so they try to do what other normal vampires do in the 21st century and explore the possibility of a relationship.
But of course, it’s not that simple. They should’ve known that ‘normal’ was never on the cards for them.

Summary
He was marched to the bed and thrown upon it perfunctorily. Louis took an armchair opposite the foot of the bed.
“If you were really Lestat, you would have said something stupid about me tossing you into bed,” Louis accused.
“I did not wish to aggravate you, cher.”
“Funny. You like to aggravate. You live to aggravate.”
Lestat looked down at his hands. Broad palms, strong body, but he could feel the weaknesses in it. His joints – breaking points designed to fold a body down into component parts. Soft, easily crushed flesh, blood pooling as easily as squeezing a wet sponge. A heart that was responsible for more than just beating in time with Louis’.

Louis and Lestat have begun the painstaking process of relearning one another, before Lestat complicates matters with a back-alley body swap.- Language:

Summary
“Say Lestat, I will never love you,” Lestat insisted, and Louis couldn’t. It wasn’t true, though he had trouble bringing himself to speak the words out loud, he knew life was better with Lestat than without it. He loved Lestat more often than not, otherwise it wouldn’t hurt so much when the other man was with Antoinette.
With one eye swelling shut and the rest of the world turning darker Louis whispered, “I can’t…I need…you…Les…why are…are you…doing this…Mon Cher.”
___
During Lestat's brutal attack, Louis responds with confusion, which breaks Lestat out of his rage. Faced with Louis's compassion and forgiveness Lestat acknowledges his past wrongs and willingly begins to answer Claudia's questions about the Vampire world with honesty. Meanwhile, Claudia is consumed by fury over Lestat's cruel behavior toward her and Louis in the past and how much he hurt Louis in the attack. As tensions refuse to dwindle between Lestat and Claudia, Louis strives to maintain harmony within their fractured family, balancing Lestat's sorrow and Claudia's rage. He finds himself protecting his maker from their daughter's anger as they navigate redefining what their family looks like.Series

Summary
"Uther had been pissed when Arthur announced that instead of being a solo artist he was going to be part of a band but then their first album had gone platinum and the media had dubbed him the prince of rock and it had gotten Uther off their backs for a while.
The second album hadn't done as well as the first by a large margin. People were starting to call them a one-hit wonder. Uther tried to make the point to Arthur that he could branch off on his own now. Start his solo career. But Arthur wasn't having it. So now they were searching for their 'new sound' which Merlin had continuously rolled his eyes at. They were all on edge which meant they were all fighting all the time and Merlin was stuck playing mediator."
I.E. all the boys are in a rock band that has lost its sound. That is until they find out that Merlin is a brilliant piano player. But with Merlin's stage fright to overcome and Gwaine's budding feelings will they be able to keep the band together?

Summary
There’s a panic within him that Lestat hasn’t felt for years when the sunlight streams in a perfect circle containing Claudia and Louis’s fledgling, a panic he hasn’t felt since the night he felt tainted blood rise to his throat and the love of his life drag a knife across it. It’s the panic of an ending unexpected, of a rug yanked from beneath him. He made his choice. He chose Louis. He knew if it came down to using his abilities to sway the audience, he only had the power for one. It wasn’t even something he had to think about. It was Louis. It was always going to be Louis.
But it’s Claudia before him now, looking back at him with a daughter’s eyes even as her face begins to crumble into ash.

Summary
There was a tall, blond man outside standing with his back to the door, looking at his feet currently, as if he was searching for something or preparing to leave.
Louis sighed deeply and turned the lock. Who the hell was that? A friend of Antoine’s, or what?
When the door opened quietly, the stranger turned back, tossing his hair aside like a movie star, and stared at Louis, blue eyes wide in a pleasant shock.
Louis stared back blankly.
“Hello.” The man said. “Uh, hi. Hey. Erm, hello. I mean, hi. Good morning. No, good evening, I mean. Bonsoir. I’m your neighbor, je pense. Hi.”
His mysterious neighbor appeared.
And he was… a lot.In other words, so much for an ugly old freak.
or
Louis meets a new neighbor who happens to have a few issues with his furniture, so he helps, of course.

Summary
A take on Devil's Minion in the world of the show. Begins directly after San Francisco 1973.
You want to be something, be someone.
"Yes," Daniel Molloy says up towards his battered ceiling, frozen by the voice in his head.
You are exactly what you are, Daniel. No matter how many successes you find, you will never be more than this.
Daniel's heart sinks. Armand revels in it. "That's not true."
I can free you from this prison of banality, of the endless search for what you'll never find. I can give you everything. You need only give yourself over to me and do as I say.

Summary
Louis was so cold he wouldn’t be surprised if his blood was ice. The only thing that seems to keep him warm is Lestat, though it only helps slightly.
~~~
There is an old legend among vampires that tells of something intrinsically in them that will keep them together. It depends on the dynamic, each companion needing their own way of staving off loneliness. For Louis, that means giving up the guilt he still feels every time he is with Lestat.

Summary
Louis was not mentally prepared to jump head long back into a shared life, a shared space with Lestat immediately after their reunion. No matter how often (or loudly) Lestat insisted he has changed, that it wasn’t safe for Louis to be alone. Their dynamic is too marled, too mangled, still dripping blood from the wounds they left in their wake. He needed time. Not distance, just time.
Which means Lestat has his number. Lestat has his location. Lestat has his calendar and schedule. Lestat expects to know when he comes and when he goes. Louis may dictate the terms of their intimacy, of the physical distance he can put between them, but Lestat is not to be alone. If he texts, Louis responds. If he calls, Louis answers.

Summary
He’s never seen Lestat like this. Split open and panting with want, want for someone to just take him, desperate with it. This does it for Armand, he pulls on his cock languidly, matching their rhythm so he can fantasize about what it would feel like, to have Lestat like this. He has to stop for a few seconds to squeeze at the base and stop himself from finishing early, he wants to come with them. He watches them intensely, the way Lestat’s got a death grip on the sides of Louis’ neck while Louis softly caresses his waist, the grins they give each other, the small nod Lestat gives him before Louis starts—oh.
