   Summary

   Born from the cursed headcanon:

   …but what if Lestat was Ilya’s biological father?

   And what if the answer to that question involved a Montreal concert, Daniel Molloy functioning as everyone’s deeply underqualified therapist, Louis reconsidering every life choice that brought him here, and Shane Hollander attempting to manage an existential family crisis with the power of color-coded spreadsheets?

   A story about fathers and sons, inherited wounds, religious guilt, terrible coping mechanisms, and discovering that loving someone enough to stay is one thing.

   Answering when they call is another.
