Summary
"When they got to the school, Lestat twirled out of the bus like he was leaping onto a stage, his denim jacket riding up as he jumped off the steps. Some of the wannabe rapper boys threw predictable slurs his way. Later, Nicki learned one of them was Étienne de Lioncourt, Lestat's brother, but Lestat paid them no attention. “Come on.” He grabbed Nicki’s hand like it was a normal thing to do. It felt normal, although Nicki hadn’t done anything like that before with anyone. He let himself be dragged along behind Lestat, a tiny, insignificant planet orbiting the biggest, brightest star in the galaxy."

Summary
"So," Lestat says slowly, gingerly. "Are you a ghost, or am I simply going mad?" Or a dream, but no dream has ever felt as vivid as this, not even in the mad ones he used to have about riding back to the castle and turning his whole family into immortals.
Nicki cocks his head. "Does it matter?"
Perhaps not. Madness and ghosts are such old friends, after all. Such dearly beloved friends.
___Lestat will never quite get away from the sound of the boy who loved him.

Summary
When Hua Cheng loses all his memories of Xie Lian, afflicted by a tricky curse, there’s only one way to get them back: Xie Lian has to get Hua Cheng to kiss him.
It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?
Xie Lian has a plan.
“Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
His voice caught.
“I mean, to—”
Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
“As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—”- Language:

Summary
A coffin is brought in. They're going to lock Louis in it and let his starvation drive him mad, then toss Claudia out into the sun.
Claudia… they're going to kill her.
His confused mind rallies and thoughts begin to properly solidify as a new rage powers him. They're going to kill her. These pathetic little fledglings with delusions of grandeur less than fifty years into the night think that they're going to kill blood-of-his-blood? He, sole heir of Magnus, who drank of the Old Queen herself?
They think they're going to kill his daughter?
No.

Summary
Two nights in 1993. Louis watches a documentary on the AIDS crisis. Lestat reflects upon his life with Nicolas in Paris, and the blight of damnation.
“My point is...” he swallowed, and he got a strange, faraway look in his eyes. He took one of my hands and held it, brushing his thumb over the blue veins on the back of my hand. He sighed. “I understand. To some degree, though perhaps not perfectly, what it had been like for you as a mortal man. When you were living in Paris.“And I understand,” he whispered, looking pointedly into my eyes. “…some measure of what you lost.”
