#loustat always

[virginiaisforvampires]

Not me thinking (again) about how Louis would conjure up DreamStat to console him and comfort him and realizing just how badly Louis had to be missing him and yearning for him all those years to the point his chest must’ve been aching and squeezing his lungs to the point he couldn’t breathe, and his only lifeline was his memory of Lestat and what their companionship had truly been like.

Louis’ photography hobby in particular — Louis knew Lestat would find his photos beautiful and would frame them and have them displayed all over their townhouse just because Louis took them.

Just like he knew Lestat had his initials inscribed on the ticket pocket, and that’s why the suit was Louis’ favorite just like Lestat’s unwavering trust and devotion and love was his favorite and what he was aching to have again. Louis just wanted his Lestat back. He wanted his best friend. He wanted his coal fire. He wanted his heart back.

And then realizing the utter joy and relief Louis would’ve felt when he finally (FINALLY!) had his heart back in his arms and felt like he could breathe again for the first time in 82 years.

I have to stop with these constant Loustat thoughts, because it makes me ache to the point of tears. They just love each other so much. It always comes back to them and their hearts beating in sync and their lungs breathing in sync and how the implication of that is neither of them can live without the other. Their very existence is dependent upon the majesty of their love. ♥️

Louis saying he never had that feeling of everyone in the world aside from him and Lestat being gone and just feeling their connection (he did) and Lestat pausing the crowd to fly up to him and serenade just him in the same episode!!!!! This show man!

Just because this scene has ruined me. I will never be able to move on from this. It’s living rent-free in my mind. I wake up thinking about it. I go to sleep thinking about it. I want to crawl through my screen and live in this moment. It’s so glorious it makes me ache. I have to take timeouts and sit quietly to think about this scene over and over, and sometimes I start sobbing again exactly like I did the first time I watched it.

Just look at them. Just listen to that. Let it sink into your heart and soul and blood and bones.

“My Louis….”

“In the event that you are reading this, something dreadful has occurred, which is not my own death rather the fact that we both now exist in two different worlds.”

Death isn’t dreadful to Lestat. It’s existing in a world without Louis that is the worst fate for him.

“Do not waste your life seeking revenge on the person or persons who did this. Do not give them the satisfaction of the hunt. Let treachery eat away at them from within. And you? You go carry on with your living.”

Lestat wants Louis to live for him. Lestat wants Louis to keep his heart beating. He can’t bear the thought of anything happening to Louis. It’s the way his face softens and becomes even more awestruck when he says “and you” as if Louis is the most sacred, precious creature in existence to him. Lestat would die for him.

Know only this, mon cher, you are the only being I trust and whom I love above and beyond myself. All my love belongs to you. You are its’ keeper.”

No words. Just….no words. His besotted, tender countenance says it all. His thick, quivering voice says it all.

“A veil will now forever separate our union, but it is a thin veil. And I’m always on the other side. Face pressed up against your longing.”

He will be longing for Louis for all eternity. No matter the realm. No matter heaven or hell. No matter life or death. Lestat is always there, yearning and aching for Louis just as Louis is always yearning and aching for him.

I think I laughed a little. I couldn’t keep it clear in my mind that Louis wasn’t burnt up. But it was really wonderful that Louis still lived. It was wonderful that there existed still that handsome face, that poignant expression, that tender and faintly imploring voice. My beautiful Louis surviving….

— The Vampire Lestat

“I’m Lestat,” I said in a low voice. “Your Lestat. I’m the same Lestat you’ve always known, and no matter how I’m changed, I’m still that same being.”

— Prince Lestat

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Just Loustat and their could-be-last kiss prior to Lestat’s concert on Halloween night. 🎃💜✨

Louis and Lestat are the couple that, when they have to spend a day apart, FaceTime each other and go to sleep with the call still connected so that they can “sleep together” even when physically apart. It’s so romantic it’s sickening.

I may or may not be incorporating this into my current Loustat fic. My thoughts are thoughting.

*Lestat checks to make sure Louis is okay*

*Lestat tenderly heals Louis*

*Lestat fatally in love*

*Louis fatally in love*

*Lestat tenderly strokes Louis’ heartbeat*

He was watching me with that old expression of awe and incredulity that I had seen a thousand times on his face. I was a fool for it, as the expression goes.

His beauty has always maddened me. I think I idealize him in my mind when I’m not with him; but then when I see him again I’m overcome.

Louis was standing in the door of the room opposite, across the hall. I drew in my breath. I didn’t say a word….I was unable to speak….He crossed the hall and put his arms around me and kissed me on the lips. “This is what you wanted, isn’t it?” he asked. Nothing mocking or mean in the tone. Shocked. Unable to respond.

Yet I felt closer to him than to any other visible being in the world.

I took a deep breath and looked away from him, wishing I could say what I really wanted to say. That I loved him. But I couldn’t do that. The feeling was too strong.

If anything in the world could have truly comforted me, he would have been the thing—with just the beguiling tilt of his narrow head or the way that he kept looking at me, protecting me obviously with a confidential calm from what he must have feared for me, and for him, and perhaps for all of us.

Something about Louis reading to Lestat while he was in the coma and keeping vigil at his side and trying to say goodbye to him because he was so heartsick at that point and just needing Lestat to come back to him….🥺😭💔
