    Summary

    “You think very highly of yourself for someone living in a drug-infested shithole,” Louis retorted, dramatically looking at the mess around him.

    Lestat raised an eyebrow. “And yet, here you are. Still standing in my drug-infested shithole. Interesting how life works, isn’t it?”

    Louis never smoked a day in his ex-Catholic life. For some reason, there’s a white boy at his HBCU who teaches him how.

    Summary

    Why not?” Louis’s voice is almost a shout. “Lestat, I have no interest in having a child with you.”

    Lestat tsks, unfazed. “But it is our duty, Louis. This marriage was arranged with the intention of giving me an heir. That was always the plan.”

    “Yes, and if you remember, Lestat, it was your idea not to have a baby.”

    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)
