    Summary

    "Love me and the blood is yours," he says. "This blood that I have never given to another."

    In the hallucination, this beautiful, cruel dream Armand has painted for him, Lestat feels no pain. There is no ache in his bones, no stiffness in his joints, no perpetual cold. There's just this: the sweet, electric tang of the air after a summer storm on his tongue, soft lips on his cheek, strong arms around his waist.

    It's the last one that does him in, more than anything else. Armand had shattered his body and his heart, had reduced him to this vile, crawling thing he'd become, had mutilated his Nicki, murdered his Claudia, seduced his Louis. And all of it — every lie, every blow, every betrayal and every wound — all of it crumbles away in the face of the simple act of being held.

    Lestat turns, brushes his nose against Armand's, and says, "Okay."

    Summary

    “Where did you learn to fuck?”

    Lestat scrunched up his nose and opened one of his eyes, still bleary from his almost slumber. “I know I’m not as educated as you but I know where babies come from,” he said.

    “I must assure you that no babies will come from what we just did, but I don't think you uneducated in that kind of way.” Nicolas found himself smiling unbidden. “You do have quite a reputation, monsieur.”

    Lestat rolled over, perhaps to look at him better in the low light. “Is it a good reputation?”

    “For the right person, yes.” Nicolas replied. “But for most, it borders on notorious.”

    Nicki, Lestat and a first time (or two).

    Summary

    “Are you sure he wants to teach me?” Armand’s voice brought Lestat out of his spiral. Still standing by the stage, tracking Nicki’s movements as if he may intervene at any moment and do what, Lestat did not know. “He’s not part of this little troupe you’re designing.”

    “For one night only, yes, I think he’ll indulge me because he feels badly about leaving me,” Nicolas’ voice was so matter of fact and it hurt more to hear the lack of emotion to it. “As if he didn’t leave me the moment he was absconded from our bed, as if he didn’t do it again when he chose to lie and make me doubt myself, as if he hasn’t been leaving me with every fucking success he’s had. He’ll give you tonight because I’m saying that he will and because then he can pretend none of it is true like a good little monster.”

     

    Lestat tries to say goodbye on better terms and it goes about as well as you might expect.

    Summary

    “That’s the problem with spending your whole life as a boy on string,” There was a voice now, a familiar one for the theatre that made him wonder if perhaps he was slipping closer to hell. “Once you are no longer a satisfactory marionette, those strings become the hangman’s noose.”

    Why couldn’t he have spent his final hours of mortal consciousness and delirium with his vision of his mother? No, that had been snatched from him, his comfort revoked for the sake of the ghost of a viper-tongued violinist.

    What if an old er, 'friend' had found Armand after he was burnt by the sun?

    Summary

    “So you – you – loved a mortal enough to refuse death his due but a decade later and all you have for what happened to him is ‘he wanders’?” Nicolas scoffed at him. “When I wandered, you strapped me down till I stayed put. Did you not think to try that?  I’ve seen these modern parents going around with leashes for their children, you could probably clip one to your belt and not lose track again since you can’t just seek his mind out the way you can with me.”

    “He didn’t get lost,” Armand felt fury build in him only for it to fizzle immediately. There was so much beneath his skin but he couldn’t reach any of it. “He didn’t want to stay and I did not force it on him.”

    “You’ve gone soft in your old age,” Nicolas replied. “It wouldn’t have stopped you before.”

    “It wasn’t the same,” Armand snapped at him. “I didn’t love you.”

    Armand and Nicolas vs. the decision on whether to go and see a catatonic Lestat and the rest of the coven gathered together.
