    Summary

    “If you hear nothing else from me tonight, hear this,” Gabrielle said slowly. Her eyes, the twins to his own, held his gaze in their grasp, like a small bird in a cold, unflinching hand. “Whomever you choose,” she continued lowly, “Make sure they are strong enough to withstand the force of your love.”

    Summary

    “Louis,” Lestat said, the edges of his voice only cracking a little. Offering up the most casual and unaffected smile he could manage. “To what do I owe the pleasure this evening?”

    Louis’ eyes flicked from Lestat’s face slowly downward, lingering on his bare torso in a way that made Lestat feel like he was being eaten alive. “In town on business,” he said when his eyes landed squarely on Lestat’s face again. A little curl in one corner of his mouth, his eyes an otherworldly green Lestat ached to dive into. “Decided I was in the mood for a show. You gonna invite me in?”

    Summary

    On a quiet, sunny Tuesday afternoon in January the house looms, larger than life, more than it’s ever seemed to before in all his thirty-three years. As a kid he was scared of it sometimes, how big his house was, with its big pillars and wide doors and many windows and his mother’s watchful gaze around every corner. Some nights he’d come home late after playing with Jonah down the street and stand at the bottom step, wringing his hands nervously as he stared at the house in the nighttime, afraid of the shadows cast under the light of the moon as he thought about his parents waiting for him on the other side. There were days where the house felt too big, while other days he felt suffocated, despite the enormity of his room, Paul’s, Grace’s, every room in the house seeming cavernous in their size.

    And after Paul, the house had never been quieter. Never as stifling and tense as it was during those few days after his death. Louis despised it even more.

    Summary

    Lestat stumbles through a haze in which nothing is clear but ghosts. The drugs banish them, usually, but it isn't a perfect science—on an unlucky night, what yesterday swept them away resummons them tenfold.

    Tonight is an unlucky night.

    Summary

    “What do you want, Louis?” Lestat cuts in, narrowing his eyes salaciously. “Do you want me to beg for it?”

    Louis’s lawyer opens his mouth, but Louis cuts him off, looking straight at Lestat.

    “I have a string of new businesses,” Louis says, shrugging one shoulder, like all of this is casual. “Appealing to a specific type of clientele.”

    Lestat’s top lip curls. “You want me to promote your clubs.”

    “I do.”

    He sighs. “I can make an Instagram tweet.”

    ~

    Lestat has refused to speak to Louis since the book came out. Suddenly, in the middle of his rock tour, his account with Roget is drained. Louis has an interesting way for Lestat to get his money back.

    Summary

    Louis knows the pressure wouldn’t be enough to make himself come. But Lestat was different. Lestat, as Louis came to know him over the years of their companionship (or, acquaintanceship, friendship, ex-husbandship), was that if you can get Lestat riled up enough, he can come from anything—a hand coming down on his ass, a fingernail on the slit of his cock, a feather across his tits.

    A gust of wind.

    Naturally, that’s when all three of his summer flings from twenty-two years ago walk back into his life.

    No one knows the true story behind Lestat's scars—not how they got there, not why they have persisted.

    But, after nearly three centuries of carrying this burden alone, it might finally be time for Lestat to share. And, more importantly, to heal.

    “Your tongue’s all blue. You look like a lizard.”

    Lestat shot out his tongue, pretending to catch a bug. Louis rolled his eyes. The blonde smirked before inching his face closer, trying to poke him.

    “You’re nasty, Les.”

    Life is rough. It's a good thing Louis and Lestat have each other.

    Summary

    The lump in his throat seems to grow in size. He draws his leather jacket tighter around him and fixes his gaze on the patterned carpet.

    “Alright, let’s end the session here.”

    Lestat lets out a breath he didn’t know he was holding.

    “But, I want you to try something for me.”

    He looks up to see Nysa rifling through one of the drawers in her desk. She fumbles around for a bit before making a triumphant little sound and whipping out what looks like a pamphlet.

    ”It’s a support group for sexual assault survivors and I’d like you to attend at least one of their meetings.”

    Summary

    Lestat hummed, rushed the rest of the way to Louis and tumbled down onto the chaise beside him. “Happiness looks divine on you, Saint Louis.” He inhaled. The scent of his beloved striking him like a blow to the heart. He pressed himself to Louis’ side, slid a hand along his nape below his stiff starched collar. Pressed a kiss to the corner of his mouth. “I’d purchase all of New Orleans and give it your name if I could only see you smile like this forever.”

    Summary

    Normally, Louis likes to vet the new girls himself. It’s a point of pride for him – that not a single queen who lipsyncs or death drops or vogues her way across the Azalea stage does so without Louis having approved her first.

     

    Gay bar owner Louis de Pointe du Lac is hiring a new performer. Drag queen Lestat de Lioncourt is looking for a stage.

    A prequel to a dream is a wish your heart makes.

    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

    On tour with his band and followed by cameras for a documentary no one really asked for, Lestat de Lioncourt finds himself spiraling—again. Between sold-out shows, backstage highs, and Daniel Molloy’s unflinching interviews, he’s forced to confront the past he’s spent centuries performing his way out of.

    Drugs dull the edges. Music gives it shape. And Louis—still half in, half out of his life—haunts it all like a ghost Lestat keeps inviting back.

    Lestat is telling his side now. Whether it saves him or ruins him remains to be seen.

    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.
