    Summary

    His hair falls across his face as he makes a slow, half-hearted attempt to sit up. He can smell it now—a rich, heady scent that intoxicates his every sense. It smells of amber, of caramel, of butter melting on his skin. It smells of gooseberries, peonies, and sweet Lambrusco.

    It smells like Louis.

    It is this realization that frees him from his own complacency, and Lestat feels it then—the sound of his own heart stopping to mimic that of another, the one beating confidently and freely at his side. His body is wrapped in a thick woolen blanket; beneath it slips the silk of a pajama that does not belong to him. He lies on pillows, feeling his feet dangle off the edge of a—couch?

    “Good morning, sleeping beauty,” that voice, frankly far too amused, reaches him from the opposite couch, across a hideous slate coffee table.

    OR
    Lestat collapses from an overdose during one of his concerts. Louis decides it's time to get him clean, whether he likes it or not.

    Summary

    “I got a call earlier—” he begins, vague and trembling. “We’re about to close a deal, to buy one of the largest hotels on the entire East Coast—” He shakes his head, as if rejecting his own train of thought. “I’ll be gone for a week.”
    “You got a call,” Lestat begins, tentatively. “From Lemuel?”

    “Mhh,” Louis nods, tilting his head in a slight pout. “Please, don't be mad.”

    OR
    Lestat is convinced he is the other woman.

    Summary

    Lestat’s thoughts flutter around him. An English phrase, poorly pronounced: must we not pay a debt to pleasure too? Then, back to French. Fuck me, he smells awful. Very unfair of him to look like Saint Sebastian and yet smell like a sewer.

    Carefully, Armand extracts his fangs and lifts his nose from where it was scrunched against the skin of Lestat’s neck, the skin that smells like Marseilles soap and traces of stage paint. Armand pulls down his upper lip, works his jaw until his fangs recede. He glares.

    Misunderstanding, feckless life choices, and hot water in 1795.

    Summary

    He isn’t at all prepared for what he finds there.
