Summary
The night after his final argument with Lestat, Nicolas wakes. We follow his first six nights at the Théâtre des Vampires, till Lestat leaves Paris. Eleni de Landen is central. Armand, Lestat, and Roget are here!
Ever wondered what it’s like inside the mind of new vampire Nicolas de Lenfent? Come in! It’s cosy, not at all traumatic!
*Lights a candle. What was that? A little too warm? But the flame is beautiful! Edge closer…*
Haunted by music, memory, and the overwhelming experience of his altered mind and body, Nicolas wrestles with monsters within and without.
What is it to be a vampire? How does one go on when love is lost? Can art battle despair, or triumph over madness? Is it possible to find power amid powerlessness, or endure loss that corrodes memory itself?
Vamptember challenge: Day 15 – Dirge.

Summary
Lestat has just left Paris.
Nicolas, left behind, sat on the roof of Renaud’s, one fixed thought repeating:
‘I will stay here till morning and the sun will burn me.’
He did not move.
Lestat gifted Magnus’ tower to Armand, and he and Eleni took Nicolas there.
This story explores:
What if Lestat was the only reason Nicolas really had to live? With Lestat gone forever, can Nicolas find a way to go on?Content warnings:
This story is deeply interior, based in Nicolas’ mind.
It explores non-existence, recovery, and the struggle to remain in a body and a world when everything feels lost.
It contains extended sequences of dissociation, suicidal ideation, substance use as self-harm, and the slow, non-linear process of psychological recovery. Nicolas spends significant time barely conscious/functional. If you have experienced – or walked beside someone experiencing substance dependence, trauma, eating disorders, or psychological collapse, this story enters those spaces deeply.The question at its heart is:
Is it possible to find a reason to live when it seems there are no reasons left?
