    Summary

    The first surprise (besides seeing a fledgling vampire gathering rats on Rue Royale, besides feeling Lestat’s presence like an electric-shock hum beneath his skin as he followed that same fledgling into grimier, rundown corners of the city that was his, once, besides seeing Lestat miserable and quiet and clutching at his wooden mockery of a piano) is that it’s Lestat who pulls away first. The second surprise is the reason why.

    Summary

    “But how do I?” Lestat whispers, a genuine question.

    It’s slightly adorable and Louis can’t help but smile. This monster, this creature Louis knows to be afraid of him— who has torn apart limbs and scooped out chunks of flesh and smashed bones with his bare hands— looks at Louis with a delicate fear of hurting him in his actions— unsure how to devour his own lover.

    It is nothing new. It is everything new.

    Louis grabs ahold of Lestat’s chin— thumb gliding over the soft pad of his bottom lip. He presses his thumb in to Lestat’s mouth, forcing his lips to part and grant him access. He presses down, other fingers on Lestat’s chin guiding him to open his mouth fully, to widen his jaw so his teeth are on full display like a wolf ready to bite.

    “It’s the easiest thing Lestat. Just love me. Love me and eat.”

    -

    Louis asks Lestat to eat him, he obliges.

    Summary

    On Christmas Day 2011, a griefstricken Lestat de Lioncourt abandoned his tiny hometown and all who inhabited it without a backward glance.

    Reeling from the loss, Louis de Pointe du Lac was left to pick up the pieces of the mess his friend had left behind. Thirteen years on and Lestat has made his grand return - but with half of their small village wanting him dead, what exactly is there for him to come home to?

    A story inspired by the music of Noah Kahan, exploring themes of love and loss, and what happens when we confront the ghosts from our past, and reconcile with those who form our future.

    Summary

    “I never saw the finished piece,” Armand says wistfully, “only the preparatory sketches.”

    It’s mostly the surprise that knocks the laugh out of Daniel.

    Armand twists to face him, face twisted into a wounded grimace.

    “C’mon,” Daniel groans. “I mean, seriously? Michelangelo’s muse?”

    “Don’t laugh,” Armand says quietly.

    Daniel should stop. He knows he should stop, that he's pushing too far on buttons he knows he should leave well alone. But what was it Armand had said at the penthouse? It’s his nature. He can never resist throwing one more bomb.

    or:

    a museum date goes wrong.

    Summary

    It begins when Louis receives a handwritten letter nearly three years after their stormy reunion in New Orleans, coinciding with Lestat's highly anticipated second album release.

    Or, Lestat is on a healing journey and Louis suddenly realizes he doesn't want him to be better at all- Louis wants to be worse with him.

    And-

    Maybe Louis will go and find some handsome Italian man, flaunt him in front of Lestat, and possibly even fuck him somewhere Lestat can hear. That'll get Lestat's blood boiling, and he'll definitely pursue Louis once again. Maybe Lestat will even kill the poor guy in a jealous rage, and then they'll end up together again, covered in blood and feral for each other in the best of ways. Isn't that how it's always destined to be?
