Summary
Izaya, a kid, a junkie, high on the city and wanting to know everything more than he wanted to be safe. Shizuo imagines meeting him before he dyed his hair, and before Izaya got his knives, some awkward past made of still-drying clay that they could change without having to break it.
Starring: Izaya as the boy who had to grow up all on his own and grew sideways instead, and Shizuo, the angel of vengeance. In other words, the past takes a bite out of Izaya, and Shizuo reconsiders.

fear death by water (what the thunder said) by lgbtiwtv

Summary
"Louis felt like he was drowning and burning all at once.
The familiar, bottomless well of emptiness and resignation pulled at his ankles. The white-hot holy fire of Claudia’s rage scorched his skin, threatening to blind him. Her vengeance had been biblical in its unflinching ferocity. There was only one way this could play out that wouldn’t destroy them all. Mutually assured destruction had nearly ruined them. Compromise had paralyzed them, trapped them in an endless stalemate.
As things were, there was no chance at anything other than mere survival."
Louis puts down the knife. Claudia leaves the nest. Lestat endures.

Summary
"I thought I could do good," Louis whispered, ashamed to the core of how completely futile it all sounded now. "I thought I could be good." Lestat's eyes blazed silver and gold in the candlelight, and Louis held them, wracked with such anguish that he felt he'd crumble if Lestat looked away now. "Haven't you ever wanted that, Lestat?"
1794. Pointe du Lac lies in ashes. Lestat, desperate to keep Louis with him at any cost, tries something he's never tried before: he talks.
