The Finest Immortal Gossip

"Now we slipped in the courtyard doors of the hotel and went up to the lavish parlor of our suite. Champagne glistened in a frosted bucket. Two glasses stood on the silver tray. I knew Lestat would fill one glass and sit there staring at the pale yellow color. And I, a man in a trance, lay on the settee staring at him as if nothing he could do mattered. I have to leave him or die, I thought. It would be sweet to die, I thought. Yes, die. I wanted to die before. Now I wish to die. I saw it with such sweet clarity, such dead calm."

you’re perfect, my wolfkiller

@levamplestat bought me a coffee and asked for the scene in Body Thief where Lestat rocks up at Louis' house - for @covenofthearticulate's birthday. happy birthday!

Happy Birthday to our beloved Ash Rice @covenofthearticulate! ♥️💝🎉

Louis and Lestat, commissioned by @wicked-felina and @nyanakin from the talented @maikuuro, based on a scene in Ash’s incredible fic The Middle Ground:

Even Lestat’s eyes are different up close; blown wide and glassy like bloodshot crystal swallowing the scant warm light from the lamp across the room and refracting it into a million brilliant pieces. They lock onto him with such frightening desperation as his fingers grip Louis’ arm so tight it hurts. Again, he kisses Louis. And again, Louis kisses back.

What do you give a person who loves Malcolm Tucker as well as the Vampire Chronicles? A very fitting mash up!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @covenofthearticulate! We hope you have a wonderful day ❤️ -- @nyanakin and @wicked-felina
