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
“I want to know about your life before me. Had to learn it the hard way, didn’t we? About the Paris Coven?”
“I told you both what they were, you just didn’t listen,” Lestat snaps, and at least they’ve had this fight already in the time since that fateful reunion – that telling them, vaguely as he did, that vampires outside of New Orleans were vicious doesn’t fucking count for anything – and Lestat seems to remember that around the same time Louis does, because he shrinks a little. Runs a hand back through his hair, looks up at Louis through his painted lashes. Then, softer: “You still think I am withholding?”
Which - - fuck. Louis laughs.
“Yeah, baby, I do.”
-
A year after Louis and Lestat reunite, they're still figuring it out. Daniel calls it out, Louis tries to move them forwards, and maybe they just fuck instead.

Summary
The first thing Percival Graves does after being released back into the world is buy a new wand. The Aurors recovered his ebony wand from Grindelwald but Graves can’t even look at it, let alone pick it up. He goes to Greymalkin’s the minute he’s let out of the hospital and tries half a dozen wands. Some spark, a few smoke, but only one really works. The wand that chooses him is raw aspen, whiter than bone and so rough that Graves gives himself a splinter conjuring up a storm of brilliant red birds.
Greymalkin eyes the wand distrustfully. “Eleven and a half inches,” he says, sounding sour. “With a dragon heartstring core. One of Ollivander’s. Shoddy work, if you ask me.”
The wand hums against his fingertips. Graves buys it, tucks it up under his sleeve, and keeps it there, splinters and all, until he manages to fall into a fitful sleep later that night.
The second thing Graves does is quit his job, because honestly.
The third thing Graves does is get jumped by Credence Barebone in an alley.
