do you have the keys to the hotel?

You asked for a birth story timeline (8 million years ago), and @queerofcups and I answered.

If you read one co-written 200k (and counting) drag queen Lestat nonlinear human AU, surely it should be this one. Here's a review from someone on reddit:

criminally underrated ... I cannot stress how beautifully written and touching it is

They forgot to say it is extremely horny! But this person also compared it to the work of flashindie and ohofcourse so like, you know what, that's fine.

Anyway, we hope ths timeline is useful, either to readers who want to quickly consult where in the story a specific fic or chapter takes place, or new readers who aren't sure how to go about reading this pretty long AU series.

hey guys? Do we maybe think that Armand's tit-for-tat mentality, and the way he's been tallying up his and everyone else's sins against each other is a problem? Is it maybe possible that Louis managing to find empathy for Armand in the face of the monstrosity being done to him, and that radical act of kindness and honesty (about the ways he unintentionally hurt Armand) moving Armand so much that it nearly breaks him, is idk a major theme of this whole season?

you know, sorta like how Lestat was holding onto his feelings of betrayal about the book, and all it did to serve him was make him absolutely miserable and lonely and push him into the arms of someone actively harming him. And how it was only after he let that go, and helped Louis even though he still thought that Louis didn't give a shit about him, that they were able to connect again and be happier than we've ever seen them.

Or like how Louis was able to look past his initial feelings of revulsion and betrayal about the Sophia lie, and offered comfort and a space to speak honestly, and how that granted him a deeper understanding of Lestat, and ultimately strengthened their bond.
