fruit basket by peacefrog (3,5k, Rated E, #PostS2 )
Lestatâs 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; heâs got more now heâs famous. Louis is okay with that. It would be insane not to be. Heâs okay when, under the instruction of the director, the man touches Lestat, putting his big hands on Lestatâs waist and yanking their bodies together.

You are thinking of him, maybe.â Louis looks up. âWhat?â Then it clicks. âArmand. You are touching me. In bed,â Lestat says, casual. Maybe too casual. âBut you are thinking of him.â Louis doesnât say anything. Thereâs not really anything he can say. Itâs true, in a way. Not that heâs literally thinking about Armand. Not consciously. But heâs assuming Armand: Armandâs desires, Armandâs preferences, Armandâs reactions. Heâs holding Lestat, heâs thinking of Lestat, heâs hard for Lestat. But heâs treating him like Armand.

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)
Itâs strange to see Lestat around such modernity. To see the ways he has moved forward with the passing years, to embrace a new era â growing, even if he hasnât 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. Heâs 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.

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. Itâs kind of concerning that he considers them both an even playing field.

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?

Louis is too shocked to respond immediately. The voice is faint, but itâs not hard to extrapolate when heâd 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, âDaniel?â.

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 pianoâa 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.

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 Louisâ 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. âThe night is young, my sweet. Give me just an hour? S'il te plaĂŽt, Louis. If I must, I will beg you.â

The first surprise (besides seeing a fledgling vampire gathering rats on Rue Royale, besides feeling Lestatâs 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 itâs Lestat who pulls away first. The second surprise is the reason why.

Hello. Your Come (Back) to Me fic was one my most memorable fics. Will you make a fic rec list of some of your most memorable fics and why you enjoyed them.
Thank you so much for this. I'm very proud of Come (Back) to Me. I've loved "Somewhere in Time" for as long as I love VC, 30 years now. That epic love story merged with Loustat just wrote itself and to know that people derive joy from it makes me feel so so happy!
Memorable fics rec! The most important thing I find for why I love a fic is when I can feel that it is written with respect and love for the characters.
So I'm listing the fics this way:
1. Loustat Human AU that stay firmly in character. When you read, and you can hear their true voices and believe their actions to be those of Loustat's.
@angstosaur Star-Crossed Lovers my first ever human Loustat fic. Lovely.
@riley-beautrelle Perfect Loustat met up in a holiday spot and true to character, fall head-over-heels for each other big time.
dolphinspirit I Hate You But I Love You More Loustat working on marriage, so much love, growth and healing.
2. Loustat fics that are absolutely hysterical (sometimes OOC) but so well-written with so much love and knowledge of VC (I absolutely adore funny Loustat)
@siahatha Renaissance Lestat in therapy so many memorable clever scenes dealing with anger and eating-disorder
cherborowitz In Spite of All My Faults Loustat x Emma+Clueless
@graygiantess and chxmpxgneproblems What, Like It's Hard? Loustat x Legally Blonde
murfrumbles AMC IWTV Omegaverse I firmly believe that this writer should take over writing for Mayfair Witches tv show bc their knowledge of VC and MW is incredible and omg I couldn't stop laughing and I agree with every word!
3. Loustat vampires AU that are canon-compliant and written to fill in the gaps or go beyond.
@riley-beautrelle For a Young Violinist Nickistat, gorgeous, atmospheric, written with so much love. Comfort despite the inevitable pain
@nalyra-dreaming Monstrous are what Monsters Be
Lestat talks to Louis about Magnus, haunting, harrowing, healing
@prouvaireafterdark Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame Lestat being Dr Fareed's guinea pig for sexperiment. Hurt-comfort, very smutty very loving and complete with beautiful artworks
@lesfleursrouges Bitter is the Sorrow Louis is haunted by Lestat, painful and exquisite
@virginiaisforvampires All of You Lestat has nightmares about Akasha and Louis comforts him, short but satisfying.
@thefairylights Whatever Our Souls are Made Out of~ Loustat reunited in modern days, working out their problems, fluffy and loving
literary_genius Making it Work Loustat trying to make their relationship work.
I'm missing so many. But everyone, please do reblog and mention your most memorable fics. Let's give some love for older, memorable fics.
My most memorable fic is probably The Forbidden Spec. Itâs one of the first Loustat fics I ever read over 11 years ago, and I remember reading it over and over. It was the ending I wanted for Loustat (Prince Lestat didnât even exist at the time đ ), and itâs so beautifully written and full of fluff and angst and healing and Louis taking care of Lestat and Lestat taking care of Louis, and they get another dog at the end. Itâs just perfect. Highly recommend!
Hurricane Katrina comes to New Orleans and Louis must make a choice.
Just as a note: You have to register to read it, but itâs worth it! đđ˝
Thank you soooo much @suikamelon6 for the rec(s), food for reading, wohoo!! I also heard before that V's rec was worth registering so am thankful for the reminder. đ
One fic I have bookmarked as "funny and scorchingly hot" is this VC Fareed's errrr "help" Loustat fic.
if you could see the wreck I am these days
you'd have no reason to stay away
just hold my hand for a little while
misery never goes out of style
