a slow burn interview with the vampire with OFC/female louis. I wanted a ao3 fic that was a slow burn of lestat and louis that showed lestat seducing/hunting louis and the decline of Louis mental health.

I decided to make Louie a female/poc-ofc I wanted the mental health issue to start off with Louie/louisa being unable to cope with not being able to start her own family and her issue with her dom/sub Relationship with lestat. Which involved racism,misogynist and humiliation.

lestat wants to be dominant 24/7 in his relationship with louisa He wants to provide protect and bring comfort He doesn't want her to want for any.
But Louisa is not fully comfortable submitting all the way because of the fact that she's black and he's white and the Dom/sub comes off a little as Master and slave and with Louisa being tied up,spanked or made to crawl And I doubt there where books back then talking about dom/sub and head spaces/safe space
and Louisa does want to submit and serve him but it's hard because how society at this time treats her and the history so she only wants to submit in the bedroom/home and nowhere else.
So when lestat tries to dominate her anywhere else that's not home (Safe space) she's feel humiliated and embarrassed and not safe, but lestat doesn't fully understand that and that where the Miscommunication / misunderstanding comes in.

And this is where the daddy kink kicks in Louisa feels more comfortable calling lestat Daddy when they in the bedroom or the safe space then master or sir and he return calls her his baby girl/honey that's the first step in the right direction but they have a long way to go that's where the slow burn also come from.

The religious guilt comes from Louisa coming from a Catholic household and her family being super religious especially her brother Paul so when she start having thoughts about the lestat she feels guilty/sinful when she starts touching herself she feel guilty when
and it doesn't help that she's always thinking about lestat which is weird when she only just met him (but FYI list that is the one constantly projecting himself inside her mind)When Miss Lily and her start making out with the encouragement of the lestat she feel guilty and excited when she loses her virginity to lestat she feels even more guilty.

And it doesn't help that she feel like she's doing this outside of wedlock, lestat sees them as married after he turns her at the church but Louisa doesn't see that as being married because they didn't have a wedding so she starts living with a man out of wedlock in sin while killing which is sinful. And he doesn't help that he kills her only friend Miss Lily so she has no one else to talk to and he also isolate her away from her other living family so yeah mental health goes down.

Also another reason why I made this a female Louie/ofc is because I have another story idea that's a little similar to this one and I needed something major to differentiate these two but the other story idea is a age regressive/littles are known fic with caregiver lestat and regressive Louie. but I have no idea how I'm going to do that so idk

Chapter Text

(molloy~ So...how long have you been dead, Miss . Du Lac? Louisa laughs)

The year was 1910, the fall of the fifth year of my father’s passing, and the fall of the fifth year of my eldest brother, louis de pointe du lac as the executor-in-charge of the De Pointe Du Lac Family Trust.

Being the youngest and a female I had no need to worry about running the family trust near did I need to worry about being the first one married,
Grace had that covered. So being the youngest Du lac,

I was born with the most luckiest of hands

I could to a certain extent do whatever I wanted as long as it didn't bring shame to the family. Which was easy as Paul had that cover.As much as I enjoy being the spoiled youngest Du lac I was quite unsatisfied with my position.

I wanted to be able to do business to be respected like my brother,or be seen as a motherly figure like my sister Grace who was Mature and elegant.

But instead I was the youngest and one who happened to be unfortunate enough to be twins with Paul so a lot of people didn't see me as marriage potential,
For fear that I may become like him or that I may give birth to someone like him so I was destined to become a spinster. A cruel fate for a woman of that time, especially one of my complexion. To try to avoid that I would follow my brother on his business run to show that I was capable even though more than likely I would just sit in the back of the car.

I remember sitting in the back of my brother's car as he was driving towards a neighborhood called Storyville. It was the only place in New Orleans a gentleman of his complexion could do a righteous business. and after forty years of Jim Crow and the electrified light of a new century had vanquished any idea of a Free Man of Color. He came up with Creative ways to provide for the family.

(Molloy~ wasn’t that the old red light district? yeah, and it’s all gone now. Louisa said.
Misguided housing projects knocked about by Katrina’s vengeance...but back in the day it was the center of sin and infamy. And as someone who grew up a little bit more privileged then my fellow skinfolk it was exciting going along with my brother when he went to handle…..business.

Right...so as the honorable executor of the family’s estate, what business exactly. Did your brother do Miss.Du Lac?

You could say he managed and operated a diversified portfolio of enterprises.
“I recall he was a Pimp,” Daniel sarcastically said.

The product my brother sold was desire,Mr. Molloy and it came in as many forms as there were ways to move it. And Of the two dozen sporting houses on Liberty Street, He owned eight of them.
Modest in proportion to the venues on Basin Street.
But what they lacked in size and elegance, they more than made up for in efficiency and reputation.)

The car came up to a stop in front of a building and a well-rounded man walked towards it,Pulling out an envelope and handling it over the driver

Mr. du Lac “and a nod towards the female” Miss du lac,
Who graced him with a small smile in return
Finn. You hiding any bills in them fat f*cking rolls of yours? Came the rough reply from Louis as he took the envelope. Finn didn’t even bother with a reply, just walked away to handle other business.

‘Reaching over and slapping Louis on his shoulder’ now why you had to go and say that.
Girl I don't know how many times I have to tell you this but if you want to come with me on my runs you got to get used to this you can't be weak on Liberty Street.
Louis responded as peg-leg doris was shouting for him, running out into the middle of the street, Mr. Du Lac! Mr.Du Lac! Damn, Doris, you gon' lose your good leg runnin' out like that.
stopping to the side of Louis’s car and Struggling to catch her breath,

Doris responded with Deep breath, Sorry to interrupt you Mr. du Lac, sir, but we got bad trouble. ‘Sitting up straighter’ louis turned his focus on doris, what's the trouble doris louis asked. there’s an issue between one of the girls and a client at 123, someone got hit. It seems pretty bad. Louis shift forwards to grip the steering wheel tightly,
;taking a deep breath with his head back; “Thank you Doris, that was mighty kind of you to tell me” Louis said before getting out of the car to go head to the house.

Getting up to follower behind him, louis stop midway to look back at louisa, Louisa you stay in that car i don’t need you following me here, Mama is already breathing down my throat about you following me on my runs, I don't need her getting on me about you seeing this,” But “lou”
Don’t ‘but lou me sit, Huffing and a roll of her eyes, louisa set back down, “thank you that wasn't so hard now was it. Louis said as he went back to walking to house 123.

Waiting until Lewis came back I noticed Paul walking up the street Across from where the car is parked. I saw this as a sign from God to prove to Louie that I was capable. Fixing my dress I exited the vehicle and walked to where Finn went. Mr Finn..Oh Mr.finn louisa called out as she walked up to him. Mr.finn would you be a dear and please inform my brother of a Disturbance outside his place of business. “And what disturbance would that be?” Finn Replied with a hint of mockery as he looked down on me with his arm Across his belly. Before she could even get a word out you could hear Paul's voice loudly Proclaim the teaching of the Bible to one of the ladies of the night. We both slowly turn to look at where Paul is standing, Preaching loudly to one of the girls on her porch, then we look back to each other.

I’ll be right back miss du Lac, see that you do Mr.finn louisa said with a smug tone in her voice” Proud of a small victory that she had win louisa walked to where paul was as a small crowd have formed enjoying the entertainment that Paul brought With another one of his episodes.This was always so humiliating seeing Paul carry on like this,
Not a care whatsoever about the people standing around him laughing and mocking him.

if I was in his shoes surrounded by a group of strangers laughing and mocking me like I'm on trial I would just die.

I could never handle negative attention. Before I could fall any further in my insecurities Louie and Mr Finn came back. Walking towards Paul I see Louie gesture to Mr finn
Causing Mr fin to grab Paul roughly by his shoulders and drag him away from the lady Which in turn causes power to drop his Bible. Louie leans down and picks up the Bible .Go on home. Tell Mama not to wait up. There's blood on your shirt.

What wickedness is it tonight? You even went so far as to bring along my poor sweet twin With you and your corruptive ways Paul said as he stood in front of Louis face. You're not helping me here, Paul. Whisper Louie as he quickly sent an intense look my way, Which was my cue to get back to the car,
Climbing back inside the backseat of the car I get back into my seat and I look back just in time to see Louie kick Paul in the butt, Paul gets up, and walks back to Louis.
In the middle of doing speaking PAUL PUNCHES LOUIS.which get The crowd roaring with.

Laughter and making me flinch.in response to Paul punching him LOUIS PULLS THE TOP OFF HIS WALKING STICK EXPOSING A LONG, SHARP KNIFE. and HOLDS IT TO paul CHEST! This makes the crowd quiets down.Sitting back with a nervous look on my face I watch as Louie brings paul face closer to him as he whispers to him.
I can't help but release a giggle not because the situation is funny but just with how Intense everything is but i stop as soon as i feel eyes on me i don't want to give off the impression that something is wrong with me.

I see paul walk away and louie puts away his knife and picks his hat up before he walks towards the car but even after everything calms down I still feel eyes on me but i dont have the guts to look for them, so I just sit and look ahead as louie slowly gets back inside the car and drives off. Another night cut short because of Paul For some reason this night feels different.I think as louie drives off.
