@ofapocrypha // lorna said: it's not a real birthday without presents.

"That's one of the corniest things I've heard in my whole life."

They're smiling, though. They're smiling a lot. It's nice to get attention from someone outside of their family (the paternal side of it, anyway, the side that actually takes care of them). Lorna isn't obligated to care about Avery, but they do anyways.

And celebrating their birthday sober has been such a fucking drag so far.

"Are you going to show me or what?"

ofapocrypha

"Shut up. It is not."

She's smiling, too, hopeful she's done well enough not to disappoint Avery. Lorna first presents a small, green giftbag in one hand. "It's a cake. And—just a thing I made." She waggles her fingers as if to indicate how, a simplistic gesture for how much effort she's spent on the finer details of the bracelet.

"But the pièce de résistance—" She pulls her other hand from behind her back, brandishing a wrapped box. In it is a shirt and pair of pants from Gaultier; Pietro had insisted she couldn't go wrong with the choice.

CLAUDIA IS MORE USED TO THIS THAN SHE WOULD EVER ADMIT. Even Lestat cedes—ceded, past tense—to her will sometimes (although it was usually only because he'd convinced himself he was actually acquiescing to Louis, his true love).

She chooses to believe he is being as earnest as she is—though that is likely impossible. "Europe, Louis. Eastern Europe." Doesn't it make sense? Lestat's from western Europe, and he's been a vampire for far longer than either of them. Obviously.

"Look, we'll have to do a bit of guessin' and searchin', I'm sure of it, but I—I know there's somethin' out there. I've read a lot, and I'll keep readin' when we go."

ofapocrypha

It makes sense, for as much as it strikes worry in him. He's heard her talk about it more than once and Lestat's—was—always cagey about Europe in its entirety. But he's mentioned vampires there. Of course they have to be there. "I don't speak anything but English and French, sister—"

It's anxiety more than anything, voicing his concerns like he isn't nodding. "Alright. Yeah? Okay." They're prepared for it already, bags packed and coffins made best for travel. Not that he's ever traveled. Hell, she's been farther than he has since his turning. "It's you'n'me. Eastern Europe."

IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER THAT HE STOPS AS QUICKLY AS HE DOES. The poison seeps out. She knows it. She feels it.

He isn't listening to her. They have to get out of this city. They have to get out of this country. She'll figure it out. Claudia can be resourceful. When she puts her mind to something, she gets it done. She's been given insatiability and an indomitable spirit, whether she likes it or not. And whether those were things the girl before Louis and Lestat possessed—she cannot say.

Claudia does not tell Louis that one of them found her just fine.

Is Louis family if I cant tell him what happened with Bruce?

Now is not the time. She does not have the words.

"We go where it all started."

ofapocrypha

"Okay," he says, without really listening, acqueiscing because there's nothing else left to do but give her what she wants, give her what she deserves for all that they'd taken. He's caught in it, still, obviously. How does he move past a grief he's the cause of?

But his mind catches up, where it all started, he has no idea. He can't recall Lestat ever saying. Maybe she's learned about it in all those books she'd read or learned about it in all those classes she'd been in.

"—and where is that, exactly?"

#vitalphenomena #( louis | reply )#( louis | claudia )#louis: tries to be funny #louis: isn't

sapphoetics

There was no humor in the look Lestat gave, tight lipped and barely denying himself the disgusted look on his face. The Azelea was full tonight, women draped with pearls and men in their finest seersucker suits in the height of summer. Lestat was grateful that he barely registered the seasonal changes, the balmy cling of a Louisiana summer keeping his body closer to human than it would have been otherwise. He had come along to try where Louis was so intent on burning every totem of trust they'd built up until this point like they didn't have an eternity stretching out in front of them to bicker.

"You're miserable," he complained snidely, the glossy toe of his brown leather oxfords tapping anxiously in time to the music playing across the palazzo. He was a caged animal here, feral and contained where all he felt anymore was boredom and contempt. "I was proposing we go together but if you'd rather sulk on your own, who am I to stand in the way?"

ofapocrypha

He can feel the tension beside him, as thick as the humidity around them. Lestat's antsy, anxious, and for as much as he's picking at it, his hunger does explain it, or most of it, anyway. Louis knows his presence isn't as necessary as it used to be, that the Azelea runs mostly smooth, even on the nights he isn't there all that long. Out of the corner of his eye, Louis can see where he's tapping his foot, can hear it too, just under the rhythm of the music.

Louis rubs his thumb over the polished head of his cane, smiling patiently up toward the band, though none of his attention is on them. He lets the insult roll off him like water, knowing he has Lestat riled up now. A lion pacing the floor of his hall. "Sounded more like you were complainin' to me," he offers, a feigned congeniality, though his head rolls along his shoulders so that he can look at him properly. "You gonna let me eat how I want?"

HE REALLY KNOWS HOW TO RILE HER UP.

And, for the record, Louis has made nothing of himself!

"Stop it," Claudia whispers, like she can't stand to hear the words. She's still fragile, in this way. Louis says he's already dead as if it could possibly make him invincible, but they both know that ain't true. They learned it the hard way, the hardest possible way there is.

The blood isn't cold, to her. The blood is one of the most important things ever. She thrives off of it still. She can't help it. This is what they made her.

"It's only 'cause we ain't lookin' hard enough. There are places we could go, places across the seas—"

ofapocrypha

"It's the truth."

But that's all it takes to make him stop, swallowing down his cruelty like poison. Better him than her, anyway. Let the guilt eat him alive, if it meant she got to live—to be something and make something of herself.

The war's running people ragged, turning them into shells. He's certain that's part of it, part of why their cold is seeping into him. The blood of those not quite dead, but would be soon—it's own kind of poison.

"Where? How much harder? A hundred's what he told me. How the hell are we supposed to find 'em when there's so few?" 'A hundred and one', he'd murmured, their fingers brushing in the only affection permissible in a place so public. The only affection Louis would tolerate in a place so public. Now he was rotting in the swamp with the rest of the trash.

#vitalphenomena #( louis | reply )#( louis | claudia )

"We could be somethin'! We could make somethin' of ourselves!"

I just want a family, real and true. A family that understands what I need to do just so I can survive. A family that's just like me. I know they're out there. I know they aint all cruel like HIM.

"You're a dead man walkin'. You have been ever since—ever since we—"

She does not want to take accountability for it all, even at her grown age.

"You're actin' like a shell of who you were, and you know it."

ofapocrypha

He laughs, but it's a sorry sound, toeing the line somewhere between disbelief and exhaustion. It makes him feel mean.

"Be somethin'?" Louis shakes his head, he's already been something, made something of himself. What the hell had it ever gotten him?

"Ever since we killed him," he finishes for her, though he doesn't dare say his name aloud. Might just summon him right there. "I'm a vampire. I'm already dead."

Claudia's not wrong. He doesn't remember ever feeling this hollowed out. "It's the blood. It's—cold. It's leaving me cold. And I've never been this far from..." Home? New Orleans, his mind supplies, in a sharp counterpoint to none other than itself. "We've been lookin' and we haven't found a single one like us." Because he knows that's what she's really after.

#vitalphenomena #( louis | reply )#( louis | claudia )

❛ i haven't eaten yet. ❜ - les to lou

A little raise of both his brows—just enough is all he needs when it comes to Lestat—and a quirk of his mouth to say aha! and judgment all at once. Like Louis isn't always hungry, isn't always irritable.

"—Mm. That explains it."

#sapphoetics #( louis | reply )#( louis | lestat )

vitalphenomena

He's weak. He's so weak. He doesn't love me. He only loves HIM. I thought we could be free of this. I thought we could move on. I thought we had something real.

"Don't you wanna do somethin', Louis!?"

Like Lestat would do. Like Lestat would do, to either of them.

She doesn't want to acknowledge how much he haunts her narrative, too.

"You're givin' up, and we got so much more to go."

ofapocrypha

"Do what, Claudia? Huh?"

He's got a few ideas and none of them are good. He's sure she's doing it on purpose, as she does most things, trying to remind him of who Lestat was. Had been. Is?

"I'm not giving up—" He wants to give her everything, all the things she dreams of. He's going to. He has to. Maybe he just needs a decade or two buried beneath the dirt to grieve and get it all out. He doesn't really think it'll be long enough, doesn't think it'll ever be long enough. "I'm here. I'm with you."

@ofapocrypha // x

My dear diary,

Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck Louis. Fuck Louis.

"Fuck you!"

Claudia shoves Louis, and she shoves him hard. She's sick of this. She hates his self-pity. She hates his self-loathing. She hates him—

She hates what they have been made to become.

ofapocrypha

He'll read it someday and it'll turn over and over again in his stomach, all the ways he'd failed her. All the ways he'd done wrong by her. He'll spend days in a stupor.

"Yeah, uh-huh," he's waving a hand like he means to dismiss her, even as he watches her shoulders lift and her anger take hold. He doesn't resist her—not when he knows she won't hurt him, not when he knows she needs this—just stumbles with the force she uses. "Fuck me."

❛ you fucking need me. ❜ - louis claudia

THERE’S A ‘BUT’ THAT DOESN’T COME, but that he knows should be there. A string of unspoken words that hurt like she’s stuck her fingers into open wounds and started pulling him apart bit by bit. It’s the truth, which accounts for the bitter taste it leaves in his mouth. How many times has he self-soothed with the same mantra, the same reassurance? She doesn’t need me, like cement to weigh him down and keep him drifting at Lestat’s side.

But with no Lestat—apart from the one in his head, who’s doing plenty of work in ripping them (or maybe just him) apart, anyway—there’s no reason for the mantra or his fear, for the nerves that have him looking over his shoulder and hers. He should be happy, free of the box that was his love, and he knows it. Sees the resentment in her eyes each time she catches him mourning, or worried, or caught up in the hell that this specter of Lestat brings with him. She doesn’t have the same luxuries, trapped in a body that’s too small to contain all that she is, and he knows that she hates him for it. Hates him for the love that hasn’t died right along with Lestat. He deserves that hate and he knows it.

It doesn’t stop his jaw from clenching or his mouth from pursing, hurt and irritation plain across his features—the urge to scold right there on the tip of his tongue, as bitter as the word sister has become.

“You done?”
