    Summary

    The four-by-four heaves its way down long, twisting lanes, little more than dirt tracks scuffed into the surrounding fields and hemmed in by serpentine walls of flat, grey stone. They truly are in the middle of nowhere: the countryside rushes past, all rolling green hills and vast, endless skies, and it's odious. Sirius wants to murder James with his bare hands.

    Sirius and James accidentally find themselves on a Yorkshire farm during lambing season. The farmer’s son thinks that’s a bit annoying, actually.

    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

    In the end, Gimli thinks, Legolas will steal his heart and sail away with it, and even the wonders of the Glittering Caves are not enough consolation for that loss. But when Aragorn calls for Gimli’s help in dismantling the hidden traps of Orthanc, everything changes.
