    Summary

    Hayden finds Lily’s contact and touches the little call button.

    After a short time, the call connects. “Shane,” a breathless sound reaches his ear, a broken heavy Russian accent cut off by a choked up sob. “You scared me.”

    Hayden hangs up.

    Summary

    “I’ve told you,” Louis says, tossing the bag of cancer-laden chemical corn puffs into the garbage after plucking them from Claudia’s lunch bag that he’s packing for the day, “I don’t want her eating this shit.”

    Defiantly, Lestat pops open a bag himself and tosses a handful into his mouth.

    Louis glares while Lestat serenely chews and swallows.

    “She likes them, cheri,” and the pet name is nothing but further fuel to the flame right now, “and your government has approved them for consumption. Where’s the harm?”

    “Read that ingredient list and answer your own question,” Louis shoots back, reaching for the cupboard that holds the sides for Claudia’s lunches and grabbing a container to put some Mary’s Crackers into. Lestat watches him, nonplussed, as he chews another mouthful of artificially dyed nonsense.

    (louis is beyond thrilled to be a father) (now if he could just get lestat on board with his non-gmo, free range, dye-free, organic food choices for their child)

    Summary

    Lestat should have known that Armand’s half-baked plan to host a Murder Mystery Party would result in something horrendous. Being forced to work with Louis DuLac did not help matters at all either.

    Summary

    Lestat does not have any fondness for people in giant suits pretending to be animals. Or for animatronics, which he finds creepier than he would like to admit, or for large groups of children – to be honest, any children that aren’t Claudia, at least for periods of time longer than a birthday party — and so when Louis had first floated the idea of Disney World, he had been less than enthusiastic.

    “But it’s in Florida,” he had said, dismayed.

    “Yeah,” Louis had replied, “but Orlando is pretty gay-friendly, and the parks definitely are. ‘Sides, we live in Louisiana, we can’t really talk.”

    Lestat had really meant that the humidity would be murder on his hair, but he had allowed Louis to think that homophobia was his primary concern.

    The de Pointe du Lac de Lioncourts take Disney World.

    (The intense tags are for references to Lestat’s and Louis’s own terrible childhoods: the worst thing that happens in this fic is someone mildly freaking out on a rollercoaster. Guess who.)
