I like to imagine that during the Trinity Gate era, Armand and Louis had a Christmas tree farm they liked to visit upstate to get their Christmas tree for Trinity Gate. It was one of those “cut your own tree” places which Armand found highly appealing. Every year at the start of December, they'd pile into one of Armand’s SUVs with Sybelle and Benji and go pick a tree. Then they'd doll it up with the kind of skill usually reserved for professional displays and put it in the front window for passersby to admire.

Armand refuses to let this tradition go even now, though sometimes when everyone else is at Court, it's just him and Daniel who go get the tree. Though occasionally Louis, Sybelle, and Benji will come home to make the trip. Sometimes they also bring Lestat, who argues with Armand about which tree to pick, and Marius, who doesn't really understand the appeal and usually remains at Trinity Gate to unpack the ornaments while they're out getting the tree.

Permission [AO3]

For #VCKinkWeek Day 3: Edging Armand/Louis | 6.5k Words | Explicit

“Always so needy, Louis.” Armand muses, leans his elbow on Louis’ knee and rests his head in one hand. “Yes, you are. You always have been. From the moment I met you. Starved for knowledge. Starved for love. Starved for blood. You hunger for things like no one else I know.”

Lestat had said as much, Louis recalls, over the years. But always in the form of accusations, always bolstered by brute force. Armand’s methods are more incisive. His words are a mirror, and though Louis can’t stand to see his own reflection, there is much less room for denial. Existence, for Louis, always hung in the balance between gluttony and denial. It’s an ever-waging war between the two, and when he loses, when he allows the hunger to cloud his mind, the worst part is, it still feels so good.

It’s easy to justify, when Lestat is beneath him and sobbing for it, when Armand is scratching at his back, begging him to go faster and harder. But this…this is different. This is for no one but himself.

This is Armand giving him permission to want it.

prompt: i thought you didn't like cats?

"I thought you didn't like cats?" Louis's voice makes him jump. He hadn't heard him slink up behind him.

It isn't that he does or doesn't like cats. He's not really considered cats as a concept much, to be honest. Hadn't really any cause to until recently, when Louis began to feed the stray that kept coming around.

Armand had told him it wasn't necessary--while it was obvious the cat didn't have a home, it was equally as evident that he was being cared for by the neighbors, fat and happy as he was.

He'd come outside to sit on the bench under the oak, just to think. To get some fresh air. To be alone.

And there it had appeared--the orange tabby with a meow that sounded like it should have a cigarette hanging from it's tiny maw--that awful craggy sound that would wake him up from a nap in front of the fireplace at odd hours of the late night and early morning.

When this would happen, he'd wake up and wander over to the nearest window, catching Louis bending over to place a Limoges saucer full of kibble onto the grass for the creature.

Armand still hasn't found where Louis has been hiding the cat food. He's looked everywhere he can think to.

It had only take the cat a moment to jump from the grass onto his lap, curling up with such confidence that Armand second guessed himself for a moment, pondering if he had called it without thinking.

He hadn't.

The beast was just entitled.

"I don't." Armand lies. "He did this without provocation."

"Hmm." Louis doesn't sound as though he believes him. "I'll take him from you, if you wish."

"No." Armand says all too quickly. "Leave him. He's warm. It feels nice."

"I'm sure."

Neither of them mention the fact that it's a summer's night, undeserving of the need of extra warmth.

New Fic: Promises, Promises

My next fic in The Forgotten Years series, which I am writing with @faerywhimsy, is now finished! Please check it out over on AO3.

*

Title: Promises, Promises

Pairings: Lestat/Louis, Armand/Louis, Lestat & Armand, Armand/Daniel (past), Daniel/Louis (past), Armand/Daniel/Louis (past) 

Summary:  After Paris and four decades apart, Lestat and Louis finally reunite. However, due to a promise Louis has made to Armand, it can never be the full reunion that Lestat has long wished for.

That is unless Lestat takes matters into his own hands to try and get Louis out of his promise.

Rockstar Lestat Era — Show Canon with Book Canon Elements — Lestat’s POV

Completed — 12,547 words — Teen and Up

*

Santa Barbara, California, late October 1988

Looking out of the glass doors of the large Spanish-style house that sat high atop one of the bluff hills that overlooked the Pacific Ocean, Lestat de Lioncourt was aware of it. 

A creature, outside in the darkness. Walking in the stillness, no human scent.

Lestat and the members of his rock band were scheduled to play their first major concert six days from now, on All Hallow’s Night, in Los Angeles. Yet, because of unknown threats being made toward them, he and his bandmates were, at the moment, staying hidden away in Santa Barbara.

Unlike Lestat, however, the others in his band — as well as his manager and lawyer — did not know that the threats towards them were not coming from humans. But from vampires. 

Vampires who strongly disapproved of what Lestat was doing, and wished to kill him for it.

Yet, the now over 200-year-old Vampire Lestat felt no alarm or worry as the creature approached. On the contrary, the emotions he felt were a torrent-filled mix of apprehension, sadness, pain, joy, excitement . . . and love. 

Out of all the other things Lestat felt at that moment, love was the most overwhelming feeling of them all.

For there was one telltale sign as to whom the creature that was approaching was. A sign, a sound, that he knew more intimately than any other sound in this world.

A heartbeat.

More importantly, the heartbeat of Louis de Ponte du Lac.

It was Louis that approached. 

His Louis.

Lestat’s own heart began to skip at the revelation of who was approaching. He looked over at the tiny lights of the alarm box half half-concealed by the gathered drapery in the corner of the room. The alarm system promised sirens and alarms if anything, mortal or immortal, tried to penetrate the house. 

At the edge of the back rod-iron gate is where Louis finally appeared. Slender figure, cinnamon brown skin, dark hair that was no longer styled short and sleek, but longer and more free. Moss-green eyes and clothing that appeared to be rather standard garments. In particular, a black sweater that hung a little too large on his body. 

Louis had paused by the gate as if he was looking for — and then spotted — something not just beyond the backyard, but on the other side of what Lestat knew to be the electric blue haze of the glass veil he stood behind. 

Yes. Louis had spotted him, for he now skillfully vaulted over the gate — which was over five feet tall — and began to make his way towards Lestat, towards the light.

Lestat felt a lump come into his throat as he began to tremble. He did as quick a scan as he could have the night for any others, for danger still lurked and he must still keep vigilant of it. 

But, in truth, none of it mattered to him as much now. Because Louis has come. Louis was here.

That had been the main thing that this had all been about, his rock star career. Finding his companion’s heart again.

I love the absolute drama with which Armand and Lestat describe falling for Louis de Pointe du Lac — it was something they experienced in such a similar way!

"I felt fatally in love with Louis" ~ Lestat, TVL

"I fell in love with him hopelessly" ~ Armand, TVA

As if they both knew right then and there that that sad, wet man was going to have them in a chokehold for the rest of their immortal existence.

VC Silly Headcanon Friday - Holiday Gift Edition

Bringing this back because why not? This is a game where I ask a question and you share your fun or silly (or depressing whateves) VC headcanons about it! You can share in the comments, reblog, make a post and tag me (or not), send it to my ask box, whatever makes you happy! This is just for funsies!

What is the most fun Christmas/Holiday gift your favorite vampire has ever received? Not necessarily the best gift but the one they definitely had a blast with and really enjoyed!

For example, I believe in the 80s Daniel made the mistake of getting Armand a label maker for Christmas one year, and for a while there, everything on Night Island suddenly had a label on it. Daniel even awoke one night to find his coffin labeled "Beloved." At least it helped organize the boxes and boxes of stuff Armand had in the cellar?

I like to think one year at Trinity Gate, Armand got Louis a Blackberry and it was the first cell phone he didn't immediately "lose."

For Daniel, I think one year (maybe 86?) it was a motorcycle, given to him by Armand because he thought Lestat's was cool and he subsequently took it all over the place (sometimes with Armand). And then later, after his sanity started to return, it was an iPod that he could use to listen to music, help block out noise (in his head and otherwise), and enjoy radio shows/podcasts. It helped him come back to the world and get acquainted with some of the technology and stuff that he'd missed.

But enough about my headcanons!

What are some of the most fun gifts the vampires have recieved for the holidays? No wrong answers, that's the beauty of headcanons!

#VCKinkWeek begins on Monday, 7/24!

Get ready to post your fic, art, headcanons or meta- anything goes! Repromoting older works that fit the prompts is totally fine too. And don't forget, kink doesn't just mean smut. Some kink play isn't sexual in nature, and since we're dealing with vampires there's a lot of room to play with these concepts (and how these characters might play with them themselves). Canon, post-canon, AU, all are welcome. So get creative as you can ♥

Just make sure to tag your post #VCKinkWeek and I'll be reblogging as much as possible. Hope to see you there!
