    Summary

    “I’ve told you,” Louis says, tossing the bag of cancer-laden chemical corn puffs into the garbage after plucking them from Claudia’s lunch bag that he’s packing for the day, “I don’t want her eating this shit.”

    Defiantly, Lestat pops open a bag himself and tosses a handful into his mouth.

    Louis glares while Lestat serenely chews and swallows.

    “She likes them, cheri,” and the pet name is nothing but further fuel to the flame right now, “and your government has approved them for consumption. Where’s the harm?”

    “Read that ingredient list and answer your own question,” Louis shoots back, reaching for the cupboard that holds the sides for Claudia’s lunches and grabbing a container to put some Mary’s Crackers into. Lestat watches him, nonplussed, as he chews another mouthful of artificially dyed nonsense.

    (louis is beyond thrilled to be a father) (now if he could just get lestat on board with his non-gmo, free range, dye-free, organic food choices for their child)

    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

    “When I told you this city is my home–” Lestat starts. “I was being truthful. There’s no other place I could ever live but here.” The crooked smile on his lips turns a bit sadder. “This is where I met you.” He pauses, then says, “Where I lost you.”

    “You didn’t–”

    “I did.” There’s tenderness in the back of his gaze, so much of it Louis almost feels out of breath. “Do not soften the blow for me, Louis. We both know I don’t deserve it.”

    Louis says nothing for a moment. The weight of the years they’ve shared presses against his chest, as if Lestat had stretched out his arm and his hand had come to rest right where his heart is furiously beating like a hummingbird. He wonders if they’ll ever make peace with it, or if the work of living is just this – to accept the burden of it, and carry it as best as they can.

    Then, he sighs. “I’m here now.”

     

    or: four times Louis comes back to New Orleans, and how he finds his way back to Lestat.

    Summary

    “My Maître would simply like the evening’s plans to go ahead without the reveal of a seam,” Armand simpers from his draped position on red velvet. “There’s much to discuss with the visiting provincial nobility he intends to host, as I’m sure you can imagine. Besides, at least the Prince is fairly predictable unlike some of our esteemed society fixtures. Even in these last years in titular exile, he has always been particular in his choice of accessory, has he not?”

    And, well.

    Louis would be hard pressed to deny that.

    “Always has liked himself a blue-eyed blond.”

    1787, Paris. Louis is a bourgeois man in the city with dreams of elevating his family name and securing his beloved siblings' futures through earning a title. While he has many businesses, it's his work as a pimp catering to the aristocrats of Versailles that he sees his path to social elevation, but when he falls fast and hard for Prince Magnus' prized courtesan, Lestat, things get - - complicated.
