    Summary

    Lestat used to seem to drink life itself, to hold so much of it inside of him. He used to feel like putting your bare hand on a furnace and feeling the ferocious roar of fire inside. Heat and motion, his Lestat.

    Or: Louis takes care of Lestat, then Lestat takes care of him.

    Summary

    Louis clears his throat before he does something unwise like kiss him. “It’s a rainfall shower. Humans have developed a lot of useful things in the last century.”

    “I like Siri,” Lestat tells him, with a tone of grave importance.

    “Yeah,” Louis replies, finding himself smiling again. “I know you do.”

    Or: In the aftermath of the reunion, Louis takes Lestat back to his hotel.

    Summary

    “When I told you this city is my home–” Lestat starts. “I was being truthful. There’s no other place I could ever live but here.” The crooked smile on his lips turns a bit sadder. “This is where I met you.” He pauses, then says, “Where I lost you.”

    “You didn’t–”

    “I did.” There’s tenderness in the back of his gaze, so much of it Louis almost feels out of breath. “Do not soften the blow for me, Louis. We both know I don’t deserve it.”

    Louis says nothing for a moment. The weight of the years they’ve shared presses against his chest, as if Lestat had stretched out his arm and his hand had come to rest right where his heart is furiously beating like a hummingbird. He wonders if they’ll ever make peace with it, or if the work of living is just this – to accept the burden of it, and carry it as best as they can.

    Then, he sighs. “I’m here now.”

     

    or: four times Louis comes back to New Orleans, and how he finds his way back to Lestat.
