Jesse and Gabrielle go and get an apartment in NYC together. They adopt three cats and become fashion gods. Jesse likes to kiss Gabrielle’s nose when she is sad or upset, and when they cuddle, it’s an all-night affair. They wear matching silk pajamas and Gabby likes to surprise Jesse with jewelry as well as backrubs. They braid each other’s hair and Jesse likes to weave wildflowers into it. Every Christmas they go down to the Night Island to celebrate and see everyone, then they go back up to New York to watch the ball drop on New Years Eve. They kiss as the fireworks go off and it begins to snow. Life is good. They are gay.

You always make the best requests, @i-want-my-iwtv :) I’m sorry it took so long btw.

I love making content of Lestat and Claudia; they just seemed to have such an adorable relationship when she was still a child, and even though it didn’t last long, I know Lestat would have treasured those memories deeply.

I love the Lestat and Claudia dynamic, just as you describe it. They really were cut from the same cloth in so many ways.

I smiled. I kissed him suddenly, thrilled by the warmth of him, the soft pliant feel of his near human skin. God, how I hated the whiteness of my fingers touching him, fingers that could have crushed him now effortlessly. I wondered if he even guessed. There was so much I wanted to say to him, to ask him. Yet I couldn’t find the words really, or a way to begin… Stupidly, I stared at him. How perfect he seemed to me as he stood there waiting with such kindness and such patience. And then, like a fool, I came out with it.  “Do you love me now?” I asked. He smiled; oh, it was excruciating to see his face soften and brighten simultaneously when he smiled. “Yes,” he said.

@the-disgruntled-vc mentioned here that this scene from QOTD would work well visually and I very much agree! it’s a very soft and romantic (and Romantic - they are smooching next to louis’ grave after leaving the burnt-out mess of their old flat and the ghost of their murdered daughter…) moment, and if you steadfastly give the book’s final scene the middle finger like I do, their trip to new orleans beautifully closes their relationship arc with them both letting go of their toxic mess of a marriage and starting a new beginning as better people, as they literally fly off into the sunset night…

you can find the background separately here. rambly wall-of-text thoughts I had whilst drawing under the cut.

I think I can accommodate that request…

And for this episode of ‘Trashy Sundays’ - Louis &  Lestat! 💙
