Daniel Molloy is on the final stretch of his documentary The Vampire Lestat when he shifts focus to the band behind Lestat’s legendary career as a rock star. But as Molloy prepares to wrap up, one last interviewee captures his attention: Vina Quinn - the enigmatic lead guitarist and the only vampire among the band members.
She recounts her journey as Lestat’s mortal lover after his awakening in New Orleans, their creation of the band, her role as his companion and creative partner, and the struggles of being entangled in his countless affairs - including finding her place in his life alongside Louis de Pointe du Lac.
This work follows the events of both the book and the show, with character portrayals based on the AMC adaptation.

Summary
“Jesus Christ, Lestat.” It wasn't really disappointment what dripped from Tough Cookie’s words, rather simple resignation. “I know you are messy, and that's, like, I don't know, almost a requirement when you’re a superstar. A queer one at that. But I’m saying this for your own good. You are famous, attractive, charismatic, you could have anyone and everyone you want. Do you really, really have to get involved with this person again?”

Lestat’s new musical career has Armand showing up at his door, because he just cannot stop making jabs at his evil vampire ex in his tracks.

Summary
When reclusive rock legend Lestat de Lioncourt resurfaces after nearly 30 years with a new album and an exclusive early listening party, Louis is reluctantly dragged into the chaos. He agrees to go—not just to salvage his crumbling career as a photographer, but also to babysit his best friend Armand, a devoted groupie with a flair for theatrics.
Louis doesn’t believe the rumors. He doesn’t care about some washed-up diva’s big comeback. And he definitely doesn’t believe in stupid myths made for stupid fangirls.
That Lestat guy can’t possibly be a real vampire.
Can he?

So of course they spot Lestat trying to sneak out of the afterparty with Louis.

My spin on the disastrously bad 2000's romcom "Knocked Up" - I've taken the framework and gave it the IWTV treatment, for those familiar with the original movie, I've changed the 'knocking up' part to be more about mutual insanity Loustat style, than straight up lying.
Currently on hiatus, but I haven't abandoned this!

Summary
Louis seems better at it, these days. Better at keeping his emotions guarded and under control. Better at refusing to rise to any goading—intentional or otherwise—from Lestat. Better at keeping the distance between them when he wants it; better at closing it when he'd prefer that instead.
And Lestat is…
Well, he's trying.
He's really, really trying.
