Summary
“I’ve been thinking a lot about what Booker said,” Joe said.
Nicky looked at him and frowned. “Which thing exactly?”
“How we have ‘always had each other’.” He expected Joe to snort but instead, his eyes casted down. “Do you think us being happy has just made him and Andy miserable?”
--
Or, Nicky is holding in a lot of anger at Booker for selling them out and is trying to find the right way to say it.

Summary
"Is that why you want me with you in New York?" Louis asked. "In case it's the end of the world?"
Lestat looked at Louis strangely, his head tipped slightly to one side. His white hair fell against his shoulder, and Louis fought the urge to brush it back. They were in public, surrounded by mortals, but Lestat loomed so large in Louis's vision that none of it seemed truly real.
"Would you be there with me if it was?"
1999. After months on the run from the Talamasca, Louis just wants to spend Christmas in New Orleans with Lestat. Will either of them ever manage to say what they actually mean? Featuring religious imagery and a trip to Montgomery Ward.
Written for the Vampire Chronicles Holiday Gift Exchange 2021.

It's about the gun in Nicky's mouth

Summary
“Are you okay?” said Seb, when they had all sat down. The night was black and noiseless and it sat like a blanket over the five of them.
Nile was quiet as she drew her knees up to her chest against the cold. “Not really,” she admitted.
The fireworks were gorgeous. They’d bought a lot of red and gold, and they trailed down together over and over again to fizzle out against the huge backdrop of the open sky. When she shut her eyes she could see them light up the darkness through her closed eyelids.
“I was never meant to live this long,” she said, voice tucked like a secret under the noise. “I was never supposed to see this. You get me?”
“I do. I’m sorry.”
Nile turned to him and tilted her head. “You’re the best thing about my life, you know,” she said. “All of you.” She glanced at her watch, and back up at the stars. It had gone midnight. She’d been six years old this time a hundred years ago, staring up at the sky.
