    Summary

    In relative terms, the trip from the Tau Ceti system to the 40 Eridani system takes the Hail Mary a little over three Earth years.
    This is what happens when you put two snarky aliens in a small, enclosed space for that long.

    Summary

    As he stared down into the lumpy grey goop that was his evening rations, he contemplated whether it was really worth it.

    They’d come a very long way just for Grace to give up and die at the last hurdle, both physically and emotionally. The Tau Ceti system was a long, long way away now, and Grace had faced not one but two highly emotional suicide missions. Three, if you counted the time before he was given a military grade roofie and hucked into space without his memories.

     

    Rocky and Grace make it back to Erid! Huzzah!
    Now they have to navigate all of... that.

    Summary

    “Grace. What are you testing, question?”

    Rocky. I can’t put this all on the guy right now. He should be happy. We are going to Erid. We are going to save his planet.

    “CBC. A complete blood count.” I answer, hoping he doesn’t ask me why.

    “Purpose, question?”

    Rocky, please. I’m trying to spare you right now.

     

     

    Basically, Grace gets exposed to a dangerous amount of radiation during an EVA and doesn't want to tell Rocky bc of what happened to Rocky's crew <3

     

    THIS IS A REWORKED VERSION OF "TEMPEST" - after some comments, I wanted to keep the soul of the story, but make it more scientifically plausible. While there are still probably some inaccuracies, I still hope this isn't as messy as before.

    Summary

    Magnetic Fields Wellness Center appears to be Armand’s combination tax shelter, solution to Daniel’s drug problem, and apology for breaking Louis.

    "It has become apparent to you that I killed your daughter, ruining you irrevocably. Please accept my penance in the form of a shuttered hospital that I’ve purchased and turned into a micro-rehab serving both human and vampire clientele."

    That's why the good Lord, working in tandem with the devilish, has led Louis to be healed in ice-water; under magnet-bright skies.

    Lestat is here. Louis has his doubts.

    Summary

    His chest tightened from the thought of facing his family. There was a safety there, the soft morning transforming into some kind of liminal space between what is and what could be.

    Summary


    “So he’s holding a grudge a little longer than usual,” Louis says. “He’ll be there on the first day.” Charming all the new corps, he thinks bitterly; deciding whose legs he will have wrapped around his waist by the end of the week’s practice, if not before.

     

    “Not this time,” Armand says, and Louis suddenly recognises the look on his face. It’s the subdued panic of a man who is attempting to stem the flow of water through a cracked vessel with only his hands, incapable of patching it before every last drop escapes through his fingers. The same look, in fact, that he had given Louis when he’d thrown a duffel bag at Armand’s feet and told him he had fifteen minutes to grab his shit and get out. “Lestat doesn’t intend to quit the company. He intends to quit ballet.”

     

    In the grey stupor of London, Louis is preparing the Azalea Gallery's forthcoming exhibition and worrying about Claudia. He doesn't plan to add wrangling Lestat, principal dancer of the Royal Ballet and his kind-of-ex-husband, into the mix – until Armand comes knocking, and makes him an offer he can't refuse.

    Summary

    She growls in frustration when she can’t get comfortable, shifting again. She can feel the pull of the sun beckoning her to rest, but she’s hyper-aware of every goddamn pebble that keeps finding its way under her hips and elbows, and she has the absurd thought of the Princess and the Pea and the night when she was little when Papa Les helped her stack every mattress in the house in a pile because she wanted to try it out for herself. Her breath catches in her chest when one frustrated turn knocks the stone over her slightly ajar, and she hisses when a stream of sunlight hits her elbow, sizzling it instantly. She swallows around her panic as she slides the rock shut once more, pressing her palms flat against it and trembling faintly with adrenaline, aware of the fact that she almost just killed her fool self pitching a hissy fit.

    It’s a long time before she’s steady enough to drop her hands.

    Summary

    Hedonist that he is, Lestat has never particularly cared to be held to the constraints of a schedule. Louis may enjoy the routine and predictability of something as prosaic as the requirements of managing a business–one of his many little idiosyncrasies that Lestat simultaneously enjoys and is frequently irritated by–but for him? Non. He can enjoy the artistry of a well-planned ball or the satisfaction of a business deal well-struck, but he’s always enjoyed the freedom of not quite knowing what’s coming next. In a long, long life, it’s far too easy to fall into a rut and find oneself constrained to it for decades before noticing.

    Even with his taste for surprise, however, Louis holding out a tiny, sooty, sniffling child is a shock he is not best pleased by.

    He flicks his eyes up from the big-eyed, dripping moppet, raising a brow and feeling his lip curl slightly in distaste. The child reeks of smoke and fear and God only knows what else.

    “Put it back,” he says flatly.

    (AU based on the idea of Louis finding Claudia at the age of five like in the book but raising her until she's old enough to be changed) (marked complete because each chapter can stand alone but will be updated)

    There are three options at the Farm: neck, wrist, or blood draw. As a donor, Louis is very clear about his preferences, but a new job traveling with the Vampire Lestat as one of his primary blood sources might test all of his resolve--and his shame.

    Summary

    Outside, Tokyo’s early evening traffic thrums with urgency beneath heavy rain, and he knows if he trained his ear, he’d hear the city alive regardless with chatter and music. If he trained his nose, he’d smell the thickening, humid weather, the bay, the heady smells of gyoza and Takoyaki and tempura, cooking in spitting oil, but he doesn’t. No, what he does is keep looking at Lestat and thinking – not for the first time – that this has been a mistake. Thinks he has stayed too long here in Japan, even if it’s been just shy of two weeks.

    -

    It's been 18 months since they reunited, Lestat's on the cusp of fame, Louis' trying to be companion enough for himself, they're both a mess, but they both still want each other all the same.

    Summary

    He knows what Daniel is about to say before he begins.

    “Yeah, hey listen. I got some fact checking to do—”

    “I’ve told you, Daniel. I’ve given my story. He can give his. I declined to participate in this documentary—”

    “I watched you feed on Armand in Dubai, right? I’m not making that up?”

    Louis’s hands pause. That wasn’t what he was expecting at all.

    Or

    For 114 years, Louis had an aversion to drinking Lestat's blood, but not for the reason Lestat thinks. Daniel reaches out to Louis for a fact check.
