Summary
“My Maître would simply like the evening’s plans to go ahead without the reveal of a seam,” Armand simpers from his draped position on red velvet. “There’s much to discuss with the visiting provincial nobility he intends to host, as I’m sure you can imagine. Besides, at least the Prince is fairly predictable unlike some of our esteemed society fixtures. Even in these last years in titular exile, he has always been particular in his choice of accessory, has he not?”
And, well.
Louis would be hard pressed to deny that.
“Always has liked himself a blue-eyed blond.”
*
1787, Paris. Louis is a bourgeois man in the city with dreams of elevating his family name and securing his beloved siblings' futures through earning a title. While he has many businesses, it's his work as a pimp catering to the aristocrats of Versailles that he sees his path to social elevation, but when he falls fast and hard for Prince Magnus' prized courtesan, Lestat, things get - - complicated.

Summary
Thing is, Lestat doesn't even really consider his birthday A Thing until Louis asks when it is, offhand, back in 1910. This human little thing that Lestat feels so far behind him, but Louis' 33, Louis' still mortal, for Louis, birthdays are like hometowns which is to say they're the bed you grow from, not the place you do everything in your power to get away from, and Lestat has to wrack his head to even remember.

Summary
Outside, Tokyo’s early evening traffic thrums with urgency beneath heavy rain, and he knows if he trained his ear, he’d hear the city alive regardless with chatter and music. If he trained his nose, he’d smell the thickening, humid weather, the bay, the heady smells of gyoza and Takoyaki and tempura, cooking in spitting oil, but he doesn’t. No, what he does is keep looking at Lestat and thinking – not for the first time – that this has been a mistake. Thinks he has stayed too long here in Japan, even if it’s been just shy of two weeks.
-
It's been 18 months since they reunited, Lestat's on the cusp of fame, Louis' trying to be companion enough for himself, they're both a mess, but they both still want each other all the same.

Summary
Deafening, the sound of her.
A pounding at his ear drums, an aching ream of resonance singing round and round the shell of his ears. Whipping winds howling at his eyes until he can barely see, bloodied tears pooling at his lids, catching in his lashes, courting dust, dirt, debris, the smell of the Mississippi hauled outta her riverbed and up in the air, drowning him as he tries to steady his feet. He can’t vamp. Not with his hand still holding fast to the knot of Lestat’s robe, not when the hurricane would force him, them, any direction it wanted, toss them around like a cat with a muddy-shelled roach, and vaguely he realizes that he has no idea where he’s going.
-
Louis and Lestat leave the shack the night of the hurricane, seek refuge in a store, navigate too many memories, argue, ache, and maybe figure out the start of a way forward.

Summary
“Why do you ask?”
And fuck, if that doesn’t rattle the box Louis’ tried to lock this up in, and if they weren’t trying to be better, do better, Louis would ask him why do you think? Would ask him what goes on in your head that you think I wouldn’t want to know all of this? Would ask him what it is about the two of them, who can talk for nights on nights on nights, who can know each other’s topography and undersoil, who can live within the most wild and rugged terrains of one another, yet only turn over their most weathered stones for tourists.
-
Louis and Lestat argue about moving in, the interview, and finally, deeply, darkly, about Magnus.

Summary
He's stronger, now. A man, a vampire in full possession of himself. What can Lestat do in the face of such splendour, but yield that final ground that he'd never even realised he was holding?
In the decades they've been apart, Louis has changed, evolved. Lestat does not know all of him now, but he desperately wants to.

Summary
“So he’s holding a grudge a little longer than usual,” Louis says. “He’ll be there on the first day.” Charming all the new corps, he thinks bitterly; deciding whose legs he will have wrapped around his waist by the end of the week’s practice, if not before.“Not this time,” Armand says, and Louis suddenly recognises the look on his face. It’s the subdued panic of a man who is attempting to stem the flow of water through a cracked vessel with only his hands, incapable of patching it before every last drop escapes through his fingers. The same look, in fact, that he had given Louis when he’d thrown a duffel bag at Armand’s feet and told him he had fifteen minutes to grab his shit and get out. “Lestat doesn’t intend to quit the company. He intends to quit ballet.”
In the grey stupor of London, Louis is preparing the Du Lac Gallery's forthcoming exhibition and worrying about Claudia. He doesn't plan to add wrangling Lestat, principal dancer of the Royal Ballet and his ex-husband, into the mix – until Armand comes knocking, and makes him an offer he can't refuse.

Summary
Louis clenched his jaw, the tension between them pulling like a worn rubber band, a sliver already yanked into it, dangerously close to snapping. “Lestat -”
“I’m what?” asked Harvey, “I don’t even know who the hell you are, and you’re what, here to steal my date?”
“Date?” Lestat cackled, just short of hysterically. Smacked himself in the cheeks with wavy blonde ends when he brought his chin back to centre. He gave Harvey a look laced with amusement, he was a doll to bend how he pleased. “You’re going to get up, grab your tawdry coat and walk out the door. Go home, wander the streets, it does not matter to me. But you are going to leave.”
“It’s not a date,” Louis groaned.
--
Louis isn't dating, he isn't. But when flirting occurs Lestat is somehow always there. (3 times Lestat derails Louis' dates, and the 1st time he does it back).
