    Summary

    or; post season 2 situationship era, where lestat and co discover that maybe drugs aren't the healthiest way to process emotions. where louis is companion enough for himself, these days, but damn it if that blissful time between reuniting in new orleans and lestat reading that damned article hadn't been the most alive he'd felt in decades.

    Summary

    Louis, not long after killing Bruce and his coven, is sent back in time by a witch to Auvergne where he gets to see Lestat, as he was before he was tuned. Human, not yet burdened by the dark gift. He should focus on finding a way home, but how can he focus on anything other than his lover, innocent as he has ever seen him be? And so when Lestat makes for Paris, what else can Louis do but follow?

    Summary

    "You," Lestat says, and he's wobbly on his feet, pointing the cigarette like a finger toward Louis while looking anywhere other than him, too afraid of what meeting Louis' eyes would do to him. "Yes. You were right. I know. I know that is how you – I am sorry."

    "Hang on," Louis says. "What?"

    -

    Louis comes to Lestat's concert. Lestat handles this about as well as you might expect.

    Summary

    Louis: Oh, so you've discovered Wikipedia then?

    Lestat: A most valuable resource. I understand it is updated in real time?

    Louis: It is.

    Lestat: The internet is truly miraculous.

    Lestat: Although I am very curious as to why "hot bored moms in my neighborhood" would wish to get in contact with me.

    Summary

    Armand shows up to make his apology. Instead, he gets Lestat's unique brand of absolution.

    ***

    Lestat snaps the belt in the air, humming at the music it makes.

    “Is this what you want?” he asks Armand, tilting his head in a show of curiosity.

    Armand stills, then nods slowly.

    “Well, then.” Lestat raises the belt in the air, looks at it consideringly, and drops it with a smile.

    Then he does the cruelest thing he can possibly imagine. He picks Armand up and lays him carefully on the couch, giving him a tender, loving kiss to the forehead.

    Summary

    "You never tell me about these," he said, voice low, his thumb moving slow over the scar.

    He felt Lestat go still.

    "Louis."

    "I'm not asking you to. I'm just saying." He kissed his shoulder. "You could, if you wanted to. There's no one here but me."

    Summary

    When Louis drinks from him, it’s the only time that Lestat’s mind is open to him, laid bare beyond that impenetrable barrier that separates them usually, and in the blood there is always the full truth, only the truth.

     

    And Louis wants to weep with the onslaught of pure love in it, the sheer force of Lestat’s emotions for him, the perfect image of himself that Lestat’s consciousness paints.

     

    Set during episode 1x2.

    Summary

    Louis reaches forward, puts a hand there on Lestat’s chest. His heart beats steadily under his touch. "I liked it here," he admits, "In this house. Our life here."

     

    Lestat nods slowly. "It wasn’t perfect."

     

    "It was enough."

     

    Or: What actually happened the night of Mardi Gras.

    Summary

    Louis was not feeling especially charitable towards him at the moment, so as far as true love’s kiss went (a cliche, as if getting cursed wasn't bad enough), Lestat would be getting nowhere.

    But it didn’t matter at all. Lestat was scared and miserable and he had a tail and he needed to see him.

    Lestat gets on the bad side of a witch. Louis, against his better judgement, gets a cat.

    Summary

    Whatever carefully blank expression Lestat is trying on disappears like a slap. “Armand made a fledgling. Why would he do that?” Lestat asks.

    “Oh, you know,” Louis says, watching the three dots of a new text pop up. “He knew Daniel was… important to me.”

    He means to say it with rueful annoyance, as if to say, “so he ruined him.” But as Daniel’s text comes in—the most important question I should have asked you in that fucking interview: where do you buy coke in Dubai?—Louis’s voice trails off, his words maybe lacking some of the bite.

    or

    Lestat misunderstands what Daniel is to Louis and tries to be a champ about it. Meanwhile Louis rediscovers his drug of choice—Lestat.

    Summary

    He’s almost to his car when he gets a text from Daniel, who seems to think stalking Lestat is a fun new hobby everyone should get in on: “Hey do you think this is about you?” and a link.

    He listens. Thrice. First, a general sense of insult overtakes him. The second time, he decides Lestat is going on about the same bullshit as always—you’re red, I’m blue, quite a rush to the altar, chéri—third, he thinks he might hear Lestat being sad at the end there, and his heart aches. He does, in fact, think this is about him. Actually, Louis thinks it is so much about him, he’s already looking up Lestat’s tour schedule and calling his pilot. If Lestat wants to play, he's got a game for him.

    Or: Louis gets mad, even, and in over his head. Lestat's (not) really sorry, he wants to give Louis a present. Some cycles break, some remain the same.

    Summary

    "Lestat always had a lot of friends; he’s got more now he’s famous. Louis is okay with that. It would be insane not to be. He’s okay when, under the instruction of the director, the man touches Lestat, putting his big hands on Lestat’s waist and yanking their bodies together. It’s all part of the show, he reminds himself. Then, Lestat and the man kiss. And kiss, and kiss, take after take after take."

    Summary

    —if there’s an antennae or something I have to fucking adjust but, Louis de Pointe du Lac please tell me you can fucking hear this—

    Louis is too shocked to respond immediately. The voice is faint, but it’s not hard to extrapolate when he’d been listening to it dissect his entire undeath for the more tumultuous part of the past month. All he can blurt, both out loud and through the connection, is, “Daniel?”. Lestat squawks something from the shower.

    Thank fuck, Daniel answers, bright with relief. Then a moment of long silence.

     

    So. Slight, uh. Hiccup.

     

    Louis takes the confirmation with all the grace of a brick shattering through a window. “No,” he says, “no, he didn’t.”

    Summary

    Updated in June 2026 with a new chapter. Episode tag for 3x03. Daniel confronts Lestat after the Toronto show.

    Lestat’s eyes pinned him down, searching and searching and searching. There was something fractured in his gaze. If Daniel could just right his mind to seize it—but the words did not come. Always swift and savage, words had never failed him before, and still they did not come.

    “There is no novelty in your story. This is just the way of our kind.”

    ---

    Originally posted December 2024. A missing scene from 1x06. Daniel's questioning leads Louis to reconsider his own turning and the unspeakable phantoms that haunted his family.

    He felt the pulse of his hunger quicken, and his mouth parted without volition. Something inexplicable passed over Lestat’s face as he held his gaze, eyes wide with anticipation.

    Louis was upon him in an instant, teeth sinking into his flesh with a ferocity he had not felt since that night in the church, his thirst an unquenchable and animal thing. And Lestat allowed it, a lamb at the altar, no resistance—just a hand tenderly placed across Louis' chest as he was devoured.

    Summary

    "Where are you staying?" Lestat asked, not looking in Louis’ eyes, voice rough.

    "Fifteen minutes away," Louis tilted his head, Claudia-like motion of curiosity. Lestat wasn’t sure whose it was first. The obfuscation almost made him smile.

    "It is not that far, but," Lestat swallowed, "I have a raincoat you can take.”
