Summary
There’s a panic within him that Lestat hasn’t felt for years when the sunlight streams in a perfect circle containing Claudia and Louis’s fledgling, a panic he hasn’t felt since the night he felt tainted blood rise to his throat and the love of his life drag a knife across it. It’s the panic of an ending unexpected, of a rug yanked from beneath him. He made his choice. He chose Louis. He knew if it came down to using his abilities to sway the audience, he only had the power for one. It wasn’t even something he had to think about. It was Louis. It was always going to be Louis.
But it’s Claudia before him now, looking back at him with a daughter’s eyes even as her face begins to crumble into ash.

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
Lestat was talking in his sleep.
“Louis, Louis…”
Louis opened his eyes to the sound of his name falling from Lestat’s mouth like a sacred litany. He drew a breath. He could feel Lestat’s withered heart beating where they lay so close together. Could hear it pulsing on the air like some flagging piece of machinery.
“Louis. Louis.”
OR
Following their reunion, Louis gives Lestat everything he needs.

The Palimpsest of Daniel Molloy by Ariaste
Fandoms: Vampire Chronicles Series - Anne Rice
11 Jun 2026

Summary
Hey gang, Daniel pictured himself saying upon returning to Auvergne. We went on honeymoon to Iceland and came back married, which sounds backwards, but hear me out—it’s kinky, it’s a kink thing, we’re doing kink. It’s also like a game of gay chicken? Except involving a total lack of prenuptial agreements and the transferral of millions of dollars of property, investments, and liquid cash. Imagine marriage before feminism, but make it gay and kinky. Like that, that’s what we’re doing. For sex reasons. Because it gets us off like crazy, you would not believe how hard it’s getting us off. Well, you will believe soon enough, actually, from the way we are about to behave in public. Sorry not sorry.
***
In which Daniel takes his turn holding the reins, Armand gets to rest while processing his trauma with as much kink as possible, almost no one in the coven bats an eye at their antics, and love unlocks eternity.

Summary
In that exact moment Lestat's expression shifted. He stopped, narrowed eyes scanning Claudia's face, then running up and down her body.
'They dared…' Lestat's voice changed as well. Instead of the mocking tone from before it was cold with fury. So cold that Louis could actually feel the temperature in the room dropping. 'They dared to hurt what's mine.'
