    Summary

    Lestat’s face is blank of everything, but his dark eyes latch on Louis’ own, locked as tightly as a prisoner’s chain. “You left me.”

    Louis swallows. “I shoulda left you decades ago.”

     

    Louis gets on the train, Lestat takes him off it. This is what comes after.

    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

    “So you still wanna fuck him,” Daniel said. “Why are you telling me? Just go for it.”

    “I don’t want to fuck him,” Louis said.

    “Right, I forgot. You don’t wanna fuck him, you wanna date him – you wanna make sweet tender love to him, and renew your vampiric vows. Maybe this time around, you can be the one putting your fist through some poor priest’s head.”

    Lestat discovers the wonders of the internet. Louis discovers that, eighty years later, he's still just as normal about Lestat as he has ever been.

    Summary

    When Lucifer and Alastor shake hands for the first time and seal their deal, Alastor is taken by the fact that Lucifer's touch doesn't bother him and is maybe even welcome. Lucifer on the other hand simply wants to be himself and notices how easy that is around someone who he doesn't care likes him or not. But none of their notions remain the same when it begins to become clear that it is harder to stay away from one another than either had thought.

    Summary

    He hadn’t even managed to put on shoes when Charlie’s loud, desolated groan at the other end of the hotel had made him rush out of his room, and his slippers and the hems of his pyjama bottoms were slowly getting soaked through. Why the fuck had he even bothered to change? He loved Charlie (see constants no. 1-4), but even he had to admit his current discomfort was solely the result of the list of healthy bedtime rituals she’d organised for him when, allegedly, the bags under his eyes had started developing a gravitational pull.

    In which Lucifer has insomnia, the hotel is moderately alive, and Alastor is in over his head.
