    Summary

    Lestat is irresistible, reckless, and endlessly hungry-for love, for life, for Louis, for all that never stays.

    Louis has returned, but old wounds and dangerous desire make reunion anything but simple.

    What follows is a fragile attempt at understanding between two immortals who have never learned how to love each other without breaking.

    And yet, some things are eternally easy to break.

    Summary

    Somewhere in the snowy French mountain, Louis' rented car breaks down. So, he picks up his backpack and walks to the nearest house to find help. The man he finds there is frosty at best and rude at worst, but undeniably very, very attractive.

    This is your 'stuck-together-in-the-snow-storm' Loustat fic, but add to it a string of dead bodies and perhaps even a killer at large? And to complicate things, they're not telling the truth, and there's the hot, roiling sexual attraction that strips them off all logic and sense of self-preservation. So, will Loustat prevail?

    Part 2 - Lestat's pov Chapter 7-9
    Part 3 - Whose pov? 💡 🔪 ☠️

    Summary

    Les baby, are you ok?”

    “What?” Lestat said, his voice mumbling with confusion.

    “Why were you trying to open the door?”
    “Open the door?”

    “Yes Lestat! Thank God the deadbolt was in otherwise we’d be nursing some burns right now. What happened?”

    “I-I don’t understand?” Lestat said his voice was small and weak. “What are we doing in the hall? I-I”

    “Baby.” Louis said with comfort. “You were walking around, trying to open the door. You weren’t answering me, you really freaked me out. I need you to tell me what happened.”

    Lestat’s breath began to quicken the same way it did when an anxiety attack began to smother him, spurred on by Louis mounting stress.

    “I don’t- I don’t remember.” He said, punctuated with gasps

    Summary

    This is Lestat de Lioncourt’s internal response to the final confrontation with new-vampire Nicolas de Lenfent at Renaud’s, as described in Anne Rice's The Vampire Lestat and expanded upon in Symphony of Malice, Chapter 3: Cadenza.

    It can be read as a standalone work, with the knowledge that this scene immediately follows a painful and decisive argument between Lestat and Nicolas, and Lestat is remembering it in a non-linear way.

    While this story explores Lestat’s grief and guilt, it also carries the pulse of the love that has bound him to Nicolas since they were mortal. A love that is as destructive as it is inescapable.

    It contains an extended tender, romantic memory of Lestat and Nicolas’ mortal love... a moment we could almost call a wedding 💕… near the end. Sorry, you have to suffer to get to it! 😇😈

    Summary

    It's a dream he's had before, countless times over the past eight decades. Or, at least, it's something like one. There's something different about this, something more grounded and corporeal. In his dreams, Louis never feels quite so solid as this; his embrace never has quite this warmth; his skin never has this heady perfume of spicy tobacco and sweet vanilla. It all feels so real.

    Because, Lestat realises with a flutter of his aching broken heart, this isn't a dream.

    Not this time.

    _

    Or: 77 years later, Louis comes back to New Orleans.

    Summary

    "Louis?"

    "What...?"

    Louis opens his eyes, groggy and momentarily confused. It's dark. He's in his coffin – that is, he and Lestat are in his coffin. Judging by the exhaustion, it's probably daylight out, making his body feel leaden. Although he'd ensured that the drapes were closed and sufficiently thick to block out most of the light, a vampire can be none too careful. He is still emerging from the dredges of slumber when he feels a hand scrabble at his shoulder.

    "Louis. Louis, I'm frightened."

    That gets his attention.

    "Les? What's wrong, baby?"

    The pet name slips out automatically. Even after seventy-seven years of deception, pettiness, and emptiness, an entire human lifetime without him, the urge to comfort Lestat is second nature. He is grimly aware of the divide between them like a chasm. They are husbands no longer; they are closer to strangers. But the chord that tethers them is not merely one of a Maker and his fledgling.

    Summary

    When Claudia burns, Lestat is granted a brief moment of full consciousness.

    (It’s not a gift, not really. Neither is it a punishment. It’s just an offering of reality, of the consequences of his actions and his inability to intervene - it’s Nicki, all over again, but much, much worse.

    Armand, Armand, Armand. What a devious little thing.)

    Summary

    “I miss her Louis.” Lestat said flatly, exhausted of all emotion.

    I didn’t have to ask who. We both missed Claudia, our darling mistake, every single day. Neither of us ever truly forgave ourselves for what happened to her all of those years ago.
