i feel like not enough people are talking about the scene in magnus' tower where lestat basically says fire cannot hurt him unless he is willing. so heres my fucking theory, im losing my mind so someone who has read all the books please prove me wrong:

1- lestat says having the blood of magnus saves him from the fire.

2- in this universe vampires are only killed by fire and sun right? is there a reason thats the only two? because they're connected, they're one in the same.

so fire = sun = immunity to the sun

walk with me now lestat is immune to the fire and sun like armand is immune to the fire and sun, because they are both directly turned by ancient vampires (magnus and marius)

MY THEORY is that the further you are from ancient vampire in your bloodline the less immune you become to the sun/fire (so those closer to the ancient ones are more likely to be immune) so that means (in my head) that louis and claudia who have only ONE person between them and a powerful ancient vampire like magnus (and who are the descendants of akasha) are immune to fire and sun.

but you're probably thinking "but we literally see them burn in the sun MULTIPLE times" and guess what, lestat says "and i have to be willing [for the fire to consume me]" and every time we see claudia and louis get hurt by the sun is whenever they willingly go into it.
