The Music Man by Gigi_Sinclair (1,5k, Rated E, #PostS2)
Louis can't kick down the door to the luxury suite at the Royal Lancaster hotel. Well, he could, but getting arrested by the London police is not going to improve his mood at all. Instead, he knocks with a fist clenched so tightly, he draws blood from his own hand.

pour by baberainbow (2,3k, Rated E, #S1 )

You got me a room?” Lestat asks as soon as they enter the elevator. “Presumptuous.” Louis chuckles, smiling widely at the half-hearted retort. “Hopeful.”

got it bad for you by ad_castra (3,4k, Rated E, #S1/2)
Lestat runs hot when he kills, cheeks flushed red and fresh blood staining his teeth, all amped up and wild with the bloodlust. Louis’s favourite time to kiss him is then, licking it all up and savouring the aftermath.

Louis is on his way to visit a friend when he hears a familiar voice on the radio.
fruit basket by peacefrog (3,5k, Rated E, #PostS2 )
Lestat’s whole body swayed as he walked. Pants sitting low on his hips. Hips like weapons, swell of his ass like a homing beacon. And Louis almost forced himself to look away when Lestat stopped, and turned back.
Into the Woods by Gigi_Sinclair (3,6k, Rated Teen, #PostS2 )
Lestat always had a lot of friends; he’s got more now he’s famous. Louis is okay with that. It would be insane not to be. He’s okay when, under the instruction of the director, the man touches Lestat, putting his big hands on Lestat’s waist and yanking their bodies together. It’s all part of the show, he reminds himself. Then, Lestat and the man kiss. And kiss, and kiss, take after take after take.

The Things We Did and Didn’t Do by marbleflan (3,7k, Rated M, #PostS2)
You are thinking of him, maybe.” Louis looks up. “What?” Then it clicks. “Armand. You are touching me. In bed,” Lestat says, casual. Maybe too casual. “But you are thinking of him.” Louis doesn’t say anything. There’s not really anything he can say. It’s true, in a way. Not that he’s literally thinking about Armand. Not consciously. But he’s assuming Armand: Armand’s desires, Armand’s preferences, Armand’s reactions. He’s holding Lestat, he’s thinking of Lestat, he’s hard for Lestat. But he’s treating him like Armand.
You don't know how to love me good by carmillas_wife_aurora (3,9k, Rated Gen, #PostS2)
A song from Lestat causes a fight, a confession, a make out session in a dirty bar bathroom and a reunion. In that exact order.

all I wanna, ain't no other by femininomena (4k, Rated E, #PostS2 )
GL tonight and ty for the tickets. Daniel said his daughters loved em. It takes every single inch of the self control that Lestat painstakingly curated for over seventy years of isolation for him not to chuck the phone at the wall.
The New Age by Gigi_Sinclair (4k, Rated M, #PostS2)
"There was so rarely any restraint between the two of them. Everything was zero to a hundred faster than the cars Armand sometimes liked to show off to his snacks, and fuck whoever got in the way. Louis was fine with that. He got off on it. Now he's in his 140s, he thinks maybe it's time to grow up a little."
all i want is to be home by deadratz (4,2k, Rated Teen, #PostS2)
It’s strange to see Lestat around such modernity. To see the ways he has moved forward with the passing years, to embrace a new era — growing, even if he hasn’t grown old. The passing of time is still documented in the new way Lestat carries himself, in the way he fits into the present. No longer does Lestat only exist in memories and dreams. He’s no longer as he was the last night Louis saw him, no longer a twentieth century ghost out of place amongst modern walls and furniture. He's here, and he's different, but so much is still the same. Different, but still Lestat. Still beautiful.

Nearer, My Heart, To Thee by JustCallMeWinchester (4,3k, Rated E, #S2E4)
Louis knew about his initials in Lestat's coat, after all, the Lestat of his hallucinations could only know what he knew, right? He'd found out the secret one very ordinary night, and now he carried his own secret, from NOLA to Europe, Dubai and back.
longing by baberainbow (4,3k, Rated E, #PostS2)
The last night Louis spends with Lestat in the twentieth century; the first night Louis shares with Lestat in the twenty-first.

Anchor up to me, love. by pocketsun (4,6k, Rated E, #PostS2)
In the present day, Lestat finds out about the way in which Louis grieved for him. "You missed me so terribly," Lestat answers, finally appearing in the empty doorway as if Louis had summoned him right from his subconscious. "So terribly, you created a dream version of me. Is this true, mon cher? That you did this?"

“Tell me what you need baby.”
Lestat shuddered and clutched him closer again. His lips were pressed to Louis’ ear, and he said in a devastated tone, “Say you love me mon cher. Just once, I promise I won’t ask again.”

Daniel just wants to get through The Vampire Lestat's documentary in one piece. The Vampires Lestat, Louis and Armand aren't making it any easier for him.
don't have to guess by lestatslouis (ad_castra) (5,3k, Rated E, #PostS2)
When Louis realises one of his biggest grievances with vampirism is the inability to communicate telepathically with Lestat, he keeps quiet for the sole reason that his sudden inclination to kill should definitely trump weird, psychic sex with his boyfriend. It’s kind of concerning that he considers them both an even playing field.

three times Lestat reels over Louis touching him in public, and one time they talk about it

The French Quarter Phantoms by cococris, pocketsun, StarskyGirl (5,9k, Rated Teen, #S1 )
Lestat flies Louis to New Orleans for a romantic date night that he definitely has planned and isn't at all a spur of the moment thing once they arrive. Definitely not. Only, while on this date, ghosts of their previous life begin to haunt them. The question is, how accurate are these ghost stories? And who knows them better than the two vampires who have lived to tell the tales?
autocorrelation by chinxe (5,9k, Rated E, #PostS2)
Lestat wears a ring. Louis doesn't. Daniel pries, and gets a bit more than he bargained for.

Reach For It by Alethia (6,1k, Rated E, #PostS2 )
"Louis, what is a 'Swiftie?'" "Oh, no," Louis said into the phone, dread gathering. "Did you say something smug and superior?" "I am Lestat. By definition I am superior, so smugness would naturally follow."
you and I both know by lamphouse (6,1k, Rated M, #PostS2)
But even when one is dead and gone / It still takes two to make a house a home. Five minutes actually standing in the house with Lestat is all it takes. He thought he knew. He knew, but he wasn't ready for this.
We only become more fully what we are by deadpooled (6,2k, Rated Gen, #PostS2)
Louis is too shocked to respond immediately. The voice is faint, but it’s not hard to extrapolate when he’d been listening to it dissect his entire undeath for the more tumultuous part of the past month. All he can blurt, both out loud and through the connection, is, “Daniel?”.
personne d'autre by laundry (lovesjar) (6,2k, Rated E, #PostS2)
Fuck the handcuffs, Louis thinks, screw the trinkets.
Of Mercy, With Choice by shavir_light (6,2k, Rated E, #PostS2)
“I always thought that your victims were truly fortunate, to be gifted with such an exhilarating death,” Lestat says, tangled in the messy sheets. “What bliss it must have been, to be killed by one so beautiful.” Louis and Lestat play at a fantasy. It gets a bit out of hand.
not for anything but warmth by wordsphoenix (6,3k, Rated - , #PostS2 )
There's no world in which Louis just leaves him there.
birds of a feather by andrealyn (6,6k, Rated M, #AU)
Every few months, Louis dives passionately into a new hobby and drags Daniel along for the ride. Somehow, Louis didn't expect that birding would end up being so fascinating, but both he and Daniel manage to find something worth returning for in the woods. Except maybe Louis is the only one there for birding and not something else.
Imperfect for you by Kaylin_KC (6,6k, Rated E, #PostS2)
Louis and Lestat talk drag, an unexpected realisation, a love confession and then they fuck about it.
And the Knowing Is Sweet, Too by shavir_light (6,6k, Rated E, #PostS2)
For his own peace of mind, Louis had to get Lestat out of that miserable shack. He rented him a fully furnished apartment not too far from Rue Royale, then purchased a new, elegant coffin for him to sleep in. Next, a modern wardrobe to help him blend in with the mortals. And finally, he bought him a piano—a nice one, too. He assured Lestat that it was all a loan, just until he got his finances in order. The piano, though, was a gift. And now it was time for Louis to go home.
Dry Spell by TorturedTadpoles (6,6k, Rated E, #WrittenPreS2 )
Louis and Lestat have reunited again in 2022 and everything is going well for the couple. Everything except for the fact that they haven't had sex yet. Louis sets out to change that - little did he realise it would bring up some unresolved issues from the past.

Louis takes up photography again. Lestat offers to model for him.
And what I thought was gone by Nalyra (7,4k, Rated E, #WrittenPreS2)
Lestat smiles at him, seductively, blood sweat dripping into his eyes, the blond hair matted by sweat and falling into his face, blue eyes twinkling. Golden skin, shifting under the lights. Displayed. And then he turns to sing into the microphone, silently, fangs bared. The image on the screen flickers, changes, shows the guitarist. Back on Lestat, dancing along a stage, wearing… next to nothing. Or so Louis’ bodily reaction suggests. Memories rise, suddenly and impossible to process.
drink up one more time (and i'll make you mine) by peacefrog (7,5k, Rated E, #S1 )
Desire thumped in Lestat like pure, unfiltered animal instinct. Like the want of the kill, the thrill of the hunt. Something up on its hind legs howling for the moon. “The night is young, my sweet. Give me just an hour? S'il te plaît, Louis. If I must, I will beg you.”
I try to be the chill girl, but honestly, I'm not. by pocketsun (7,6k, Rated E, #WrittenPreS2 )
“Let’s keep it casual.” Lestat is unsure if he hears it correctly. He is quite unsure about it as he lies there, panting from the comedown.

With Open Arms by magicbubblepipe (8,6k, Rated E, #PostS2)

hire a gardener for my grave by elke (weidli) (9k, Rated E, #PostS2 )
The first surprise (besides seeing a fledgling vampire gathering rats on Rue Royale, besides feeling Lestat’s presence like an electric-shock hum beneath his skin as he followed that same fledgling into grimier, rundown corners of the city that was his, once, besides seeing Lestat miserable and quiet and clutching at his wooden mockery of a piano) is that it’s Lestat who pulls away first. The second surprise is the reason why.
