    Summary

    Lestat had never welcomed his nightly repose more, having finally completed the last leg of a thousand weary miles. His leaden eyelids drooped alongside the creaking casket lid when his ringer shrilled. He had every intention to ignore it until "Lui calling" stole his glance, causing him to nearly tumble forward in his hasty reach. He summoned his pride in time and waited until the appropriate fourth ring to pick up with a lackadaisical, "Why, hello."

    "How's Montreal?" Louis' voice crooned like warm vanilla.

    ********
    Recently fell into IWTV and loved The Vampire Lestat too, including of course the deeper emotional intimacy with Louis & Lestat.

    I continue my series of "extended" / "deleted" Loustat scenes, this time through season 3 and an imagined season 4 premiere. Slow burn (aligned to arc of TVL) and lots of yearning. Plus a bonus one-shot for their time in the desert, post Season 4+5

    Summary

    A cruel irony, perhaps, that the one time Louis was able to tell Lestat that he loves him, Lestat would forget it. Or not forget, but that it was taken from him by Akasha, as were many of his memories, replaced with false ones to keep him docile.

    or loustat and “real or not real”

    Summary

    Even long before Montreal and the rock career and the video, Gabriella haunted Louis and Lestat's relationship, but it wasn't until everything went down that Louis quite understood how.

    Summary

    Lestat has always preferred sleeping in his coffin. Louis would prefer to sleep in a plain old bed.

    Or, three times Louis tries to share a bed with Lestat.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    If Louis couldn't tuck himself behind Lestat's ribs, then at least he could keep his heart beating steadily. At least he could hold him and make sure he was safe. At least he could be there for him when he woke from nightmares, and maybe, eventually, Lestat would stop looking like Louis's love came as a surprise.

    Summary

    Sometimes, it feels impossible that he gets to have this. But here they are, in a beautiful house in a beautiful desert under a beautiful starry sky, and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow until the heat death of the universe.

    The idea of it doesn’t scare Louis nearly as much as it used to.
