    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 Azalea Gallery's forthcoming exhibition and worrying about Claudia. He doesn't plan to add wrangling Lestat, principal dancer of the Royal Ballet and his kind-of-ex-husband, into the mix – until Armand comes knocking, and makes him an offer he can't refuse.

    Summary

    Hedonist that he is, Lestat has never particularly cared to be held to the constraints of a schedule. Louis may enjoy the routine and predictability of something as prosaic as the requirements of managing a business–one of his many little idiosyncrasies that Lestat simultaneously enjoys and is frequently irritated by–but for him? Non. He can enjoy the artistry of a well-planned ball or the satisfaction of a business deal well-struck, but he’s always enjoyed the freedom of not quite knowing what’s coming next. In a long, long life, it’s far too easy to fall into a rut and find oneself constrained to it for decades before noticing.

    Even with his taste for surprise, however, Louis holding out a tiny, sooty, sniffling child is a shock he is not best pleased by.

    He flicks his eyes up from the big-eyed, dripping moppet, raising a brow and feeling his lip curl slightly in distaste. The child reeks of smoke and fear and God only knows what else.

    “Put it back,” he says flatly.

    (AU based on the idea of Louis finding Claudia at the age of five like in the book but raising her until she's old enough to be changed) (marked complete because each chapter can stand alone but will be updated)

    Summary

    Becoming a vampire came with an onslaught of firsts.

    First drink.

    First kill.

    First death-inducing walk in the sun.

    For Louis, these came forcibly and furiously within twelve hours of his turning - but at least they were, in large part, expected (well, less the sun part - that he learned with some difficulty, a small grievance he still held with Lestat).

    There were "firsts" however, that he did not expect which snuck up on him like a jungle cat preying on a hatchling: 1 that disappointed him, 1 that surprised him, and 1 that touched his maker.

    ********

    Finally binged and loved Interview with the Vampire S1&2 (in defense of late blooming, I'm sadly, highly squeamish).

    Here in my fantasy headcanon (without budget or time constraints), I offer extended/deleted Loustat scenes starting with their courtship in 1x01, the aftermath of Louis' turning in 1x02, more jealous Lestat in 1x03, their family of 3 in 1x04, and Loustat making up in 1x06. Plus a bonus one-shot for 2x04.
