Was cleaning my windows and suddenly I remembered an Ancient Vampire with a lot of power and a very interesting history actually woke one day and decided to call himself Gregory Duff Collingsworth.
And he became a pharmaceutical magnate.
Say all you want about the Vampire Chronicles books, but one thing I will say... they never fail to make me laugh 😂
Blood Communion
I'm so obsessed with GregoryStat dynamic that I've written two canon compliant-ish fics of him, a 6000 yo vampire (he used to be Akasha's bed slave) being infatuated by Lestat.
Whaddymean Lestat drank and didn't pull out until he basically fell asleep. Gregory is his bedtime bottle. And Gregory was good with putting him to 'sleep' 'rest' like Akasha did. He knew Lestat needed to rest.

AR vampire-sextivity was via the blood. In Blood Communion, Lestat had the whole harem in his chateau. They would've had blood-orgy on regular basis lol... I love Prince Lestat era so much. Yes, bring on Alain your architect into the Dark Gift, whydoncha... btw, thick-ashen hair in his 40s makes me think of Daniel Hart ROFL.

Oh wait, if we're going to have Armand telling his story that gives us a lot of things to look forward to, will we get the chance to see Santino, Allesandra, Riccardo and Bianca? If Marius is on "Daniel's side", will we get a glimpse of Pandora, Bianca or Avicus and Mael? Or even Thornevald? Do you understand? When the Queen arrives, it will be necessary to unite all the vampires capable of thinking clearly. They'll have to fill a huge table with thinking heads.
Not to mention Seth with Fareed and even Nebamun! Aaaaaaah😭😭
If Louis is in his Merrick era then what happens to him will impact almost literally with the end of Akasha (about the things Louis explains in the Prince Lestat era), they're telling a story that covers all the books and so it's something to think about...
