    Summary

    Louis had thought they might kiss on the bench. Thought they might kiss, and go home together, and more, because no matter how hard he tries to lie to himself, he's spent his whole time in Montreal imagining how nice a gold wedding band would feel on his finger. Except then, the world had tilted on its axis, the night sky had spun around him, and now…

    An alternate take on the aftermath of the decapitation: After waking up first, Lestat ditches Gabriella, the band, and the concert to wait by Louis's bedside until he heals.

    Summary

    Louis' thumb gently drags across his bottom lip as he tries to focus on the page in front of him.

    His eyes coast across the printed out text but none of it registers. The words fly past him, fluttering somewhere in the back of his mind as if they've just sprouted wings. Lestat is sitting on the bottom of Louis' bed, his back leaning against the wall.

    Louis has read the same sentence twelve times now.

    or

    Lestat seems like a good rider.

    Summary

    "What is it then?"

    "Seriously?" he asks, blinking quickly, swallowing again as he sits up. "First time we have sex in decades, I'm a bit… overwhelmed."

    Louis feels himself soften, a tender smile warming his features.

    "It's just me."

    *****

    Louis and Lestat finally have sex in the new century. Recently discovered demons try to ruin things for them.

    Summary

    Louis’ hand is cold when Lestat holds it, his face like ice when Lestat touches his jaw. His heart hammers against his ribs.

    Instinct kicks in.

    Lestat slits his wrist with a sharp nail, bringing it to Louis’ unmoving, beautiful lips, letting blood spill over his chin like a cascade.

    “What are you doing?!” Gabriella again. Her voice irritates him.

    “He needs my blood,” Lestat answers, not taking his eyes away from Louis’ still figure.

    “What? You’re not well enough to do this, Lestat!” Cookie’s voice now. “You lost a lot of blood, they’re giving him blood already, there’s no need—”

    “He needs mine!” He shouts, losing all composure, only then feeling the tears angrily stream down his face. He thinks of Louis’ reaction to the taste of his blood at the bar, the first time that century. His hollowed cheeks, eyes rolling to the back of his skull. Lestat wants to fall to his knees and weep. “I know it, he needs mine. It’ll help him! Just… Just let me do this…”

    Reaction-fic after 3x06. Or: my version of what happens after Louis and Lestat are beheaded.
