    Summary

    Sylvain would think the guy was checking him out—they’re around the same age, both hot, and Sylvain just radiates up-for-anything, he supposes—except the guy’s expression is more scrutiny than invitation, and also this is Sylvain’s brother’s funeral.

    On a hot day in late summer, Sylvain and a stranger hold an unconventional wake.

    Then comes the whiplash, his feeling put in check by what he should be feeling. What are you doing, exactly? He’s in the ground back there. How are you still standing?

    It was a single digit age, the first time Sylvain felt he needed to justify how he lives, and the last time he was able to.

    Summary

    Louis, glitteringly modern as Armand has always found him, is an excellent tourist, throwing himself into the wholehearted pursuit of the city with an almost manic zeal. Thunderingly alive in Paris, thunderingly alive in Alexandria, thunderingly alive for the rest of their lives, wherever they might be.

    Summary

    "Louis," he says, only an actor's iron grip upon his voicebox keeping his tone as soft and level as his love no doubt needs it to be. "Where is our sister?"

    "I don't know," Louis replies, and his voice is slow and empty.

    Claudia rides her train into the dawn, and Louis is left alone with Lestat.

    Oh, if his younger self could see him now. He has gone soft.

    “Pass me the mirror,” Gabrielle said, with an imperious tilt of her chin in its direction. “And a ribbon, if you would.”

    Summary

    Too soon, Louis breaks the kiss, lets his head tip back onto the dark gold silk of his pillow. He's still smiling, that unbearably beautiful self-satisfied look; cat who truly has no idea who could possibly have gotten all of the cream. "Have a good day, love," he murmurs as he lets himself sink into the bed, languid and perfect, and slowly and deliberately closes his eyes.

    Louis entrusts Armand with his body for the day.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Louis's skin is as soft as it ever is, as beloved and sweetly scented, with the scant heat that is all he often carries absent entirely. The flesh beneath it does not have the softness that it does when Louis is conscious and at rest, but Louis is not yet old enough to become truly unyielding in the coffin-sleep. One day; until then, he remains this gorgeous mix of vampiric and vulnerable.
