Hello, Frank! Could you please write me some Interview With The Vampire fanfiction about Louis, Lestat, Daniel, and Armand?

The Vampire Chronicles, by Anne Rice

1. Interview With a Vampire, Chapter Two

It is Lestat's twenty-sixth birthday and he is very bored in a way which does not fit at all well with the present situation.

"Don't worry about it," Louis, sitting nearby, said. "You've got plenty of time. Don't you want to see Lestat on his twenty-sixth birthday?"

Lestat turned to look at him with a blank expression.

"Yeah," Louis answered after a moment. "You do."

"Of course I do," Lestat said. "I'll be a vampire."

"You think there'll be girls?" Louis asked. "They'll be the ones all over your face, right?"

"Right," said Lestat. "And I can go up to the roof and yell at the world about how it's all awful and stupid and everyone will come running to me because, just remember, Lestat, I can do that, because I can do anything."

"Yeah," said Louis. "Except talk to girls. But we can talk to girls some other time. In fact, maybe I will do that now."

2. Interview With a Vampire, Chapter Three

One night Lestat awoke suddenly from a nightmare and lay on his side in the darkness. He thought of the girl he wanted to be with again, and what he would have to do to win her.

3. Interview With a Vampire, Chapter Five

After the night at the cemetery, Lestat spent hours staring into space, thinking. I must learn control, he thought. I have to learn control.

4. Interview With a Vampire, Chapter Three

On that night there was something different about the way Lestat felt toward Armand. Armand seemed to be able to do anything he wanted to do, just as Lestat could do anything he wanted to do; when it came to Armand, his power made him feel small and helpless and alone.

5. Interview with a Vampire, Chapter Six

After his transformation, Lestat wandered aimlessly through the dark, alone.

"Where are you, dear?" he heard Armand call.

"Don't come near me," he answered.

"Come on," Armand said. "I thought we'd go away, like we did once."

"We can't," Lestat said. "We've been changed and you've been changed and we can never go back the same. I can't walk by myself anymore. I can't look through the things I used to want, anymore."

"You still want them," Armand said.

6. Interview with a Vampire, Chapter Seven

Lestat sat by the window of his room and wrote the letter. "It's not enough," he wrote. "If it were, it would be all right. It isn't all right, and it isn't enough."

7. Interview With a Vampire, Chapter Nine

It seemed to Lestat that the day of his birthday was going to be a day of a thousand deaths.

8. Interview With a Vampire, Chapter Nine

On his twenty-fifth birthday, a day Lestat's own imagination would have called "his day," he sat down in his room and, just for a moment, felt his heart race with love for the woman he would one day love.

"Well?" Armand asked, leaning over him with a candle flame and the smell of oranges.

"I'm a vampire," Lestat said. "You're a vampire. You and I and Daniel are vampires. There aren't supposed to be any other kinds of vampires."

"Not anymore," Armand said. "We're the only vampires."

"No," Lestat said. "People are still vampires."

9. Interview With a Vampire, Chapter Eleven

On his twenty-fifth birthday, Lestat looked at Daniel and felt the same kind of love for him that he had felt the moment he woke up that day. "All your friends are vampires," he told Daniel. "All of them."

"All of them," Daniel agreed. "So are you. And so are you."

As Armand would later remember it, that day was the first day in his long existence that Lestat didn't feel like he was making up a vampire as he went along. "All your friends," he whispered, "are vampires."

"It's true," said Armand, "and you're a vampire too."

"I know it," Lestat said.

Armand looked at him strangely, as if he hadn't heard him.

10. Interview With a Vampire, Chapter Twelve

"I have to be careful," Lestat told Armand. "But you understand, don't you?"

"What?" Armand asked.

"Everything," Lestat said. "I'll be your friend."

Armand laughed at him.

"Friend?"

"Yes," said Lestat. "If we're going to be friends, it has to be a secret."

"So?" Armand asked. "How secret?"

11. Interview With a Vampire, Chapter Thirteen

Lestat said that after he changed he had found that he now always understood the things people said. "I always understood the things people said in the dream," he explained, "until a person said something, and then I didn't understand anymore."

"That was the difference," Armand said.

"Yes. And now that I'm awake, I understand everything in the world."

"Everything?"

"Everything! Everything is clear. I understand what people feel now."

12. Interview With a Vampire, Chapter Fifteen

Lestat's first visit to New Orleans took place early in the spring, right after it had finally rained.

13. Interview With a Vampire, Chapter Fifteen

"Well," Armand said to Daniel one day in June. "Isn't the summer fun?"

"It's hot," Daniel said, looking up from a book of vampire poetry. "You just drink cold water."

"You're a vampire too," Armand said to Daniel. "You should know that."

"Everyone knows it," Daniel said.

14. Interview With a Vampire, Chapter Fourteen

"You can't be a vampire," Armand said to Lestat one day. "You've got to have blood."

"You think I need blood to be

Spark - Dan & Phil

content: none! just fluff.

an: only keeping these up to look back at to see if I've ever improved. so weird to think about the space i was in when first writing these vs where i am now. depressing!

♤♤♤♤

Dan's POV:

"Dan! Hurry up!" I heard my boyfriend call to me. We were going to some place for our anniversary. Five years we've been together, and boy has it been the best five years of my life. I love him so much. He's saved me from doing anything stupid, and he knows that.

"Baaaabe!" I heard his voice get closer. I snapped from my thoughts and fixed my tie. "Come onnnnnnnn!" Chuckling, I opened the door and placed a quick kiss to his cheek.

"I'm ready babe." His eyes scanned me from head to toe, a small smile forming.

"You look handsome." He said, beaming.

"Same for you Philly." He giggled and grabbed my hand, pulling me towards and out the door of our flat, locking it behind him.

"I'm sure you'll love where we're going." With that, he grabbed my hand, interlocking our fingers and tugged me towards the sidewalk. There was a light dusting of snow falling down, and a blanket covering the London streets. It was Christmas Eve, and everyone was out doing couple things.

Phil, instead of taking me to his car, waited on the sidewalk until a carriage pulled up. "Philly, what is this?" His smiled widened, his grip tightened, and he pulled me up into the carriage before whispering something to driver.

"Why, it's all part of the surprise love." My heart fluttered and what he said. Love. We love each other. I love him so much. Even when I'm feeling down, he's there. He's always there. Whenever I'm having an episode, he's there to comfort me, and I love him for it.

After a thirty mintue ride, we stopped at a restaurant. Only it wasn't. There were fairy lights strung about everywhere, a Christmas tree sat in the middle, and there were people, waiters and waitresses I assume, walking around a smile plastered across their faces. It was perfect. The smell of cookies swarmed my senses, and I looked over at Phil who had a look of worry and hope in his features. "Well...do you like it?" He spoke quietly. I beamed, and nodded.

"Of course I do. It's amazing." Kissing him quickly, he led us over to a table near the back of the place.

"I love you Daniel."

"I love you more Phillip." He made a face and pouted at that name sticking out his bottom lip.

"You know I don't like Phillip." I couldn't help but smile at how cute he was being and booped his nose.

"And you know I don't like Daniel."

"Good point." This night was nothing but perfect. "But really...I love you."

"I know you do."

"No...like a lot..." Phil muttered and looked down at our intertwined fingers. "And I just...you've been there for me for as long as I can remember. Whenever I would feel useless, which I am don't even try to argue Daniel, you would always be there looking at me with concern filling your chocolate brown eyes. The way your voice would be raspy whenever you were holding back tears when I told you how much the world wouldn't miss me.

"You've been there for me. You helped me through my depression, through highschool, through life, everything. I can't imagine or bear the thought of being away from you. I know that some of our fans have forced our relationship down our throats and we keep denying it, but I can't help but feel that it's not fair to them if we keep this a secret. We've been dating for what seems like a million years.

"So, maybe when we get home we can record a video and then do a stream? I want everyone to see the raw footage of how much I love you." His words hit me like a ton of bricks. Everything he just said made my heart pound and stomach fill with butterflies.

"Philly, you are not useless. You mean more to me than everything." It hurt my heart seeing him that way. He was perfect. I placed a soft kiss to his lips before pulling away looking into his icy blue eyes, sparkling. "And of course we can baby." His face lighted up with a smile and he threw his arms around my neck engulfing me in a hug that nearly knocked me out the chair.

"Oh thank you thank you thank you!" His British accented voice sounded like the most beautiful sound. "Oh, and one more thing..." He pulled away and smirked at me before getting on one of his knees.

"Philly, what are you...?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at the odd action. He can't be doing what I think he's doing, is he? Oh my god, he can't be...

He puckered his lips and whistled. Oh my god, he is! "Come here boy!" He called out in a babyish voice. I saw a blur of what looked like a small ball of fur out of the corner of my before Phil was knocked back on his butt, laughing.

"Oh my god! You got a Shiba Inu!" I exclaimed, jumping from my seat and running over to where he was laying down, the small meme licking away at his face. "What should we name him?" I asked, reaching out and petting the animal's fur. He turned his attention to me, tail wagging faster than, well, the Flash, and ran around me barking and jumping on my lap.

"Hmm...how about J-" He started but I silence him with another kiss, holding the shiba inu to my chest.

"Whatever it is, it'll be perfect."

"Just like you, Danny."

The Visitor (part 3)

[Catch up with parts one and two]

Author's Note: This is a personal fantasy along the lines of @jovialyouthmusic and her Many Lives of Drake Walker series. One night while I couldn't sleep my mind was working overtime and I started to imagine "What if?"

He gets up from the bed and goes over to the window and tries to peer out into my darkened backyard, “So what comes next then, for Kate and I?”

I shake my head, “Oh no, I'm not going to tell you anything. You need to live it yourself.”

I realize as I say this that there's a six month gap in my writing between where he's at and where I pick up his story again at Christmas. So it really is a mystery to us both what he's going to experience in between.

To me all the time in Oregon was so long ago, and I've written so much about his and Kate’s life since then.

He stands awkwardly in the darkness, sneaking a glance at Kevin's things piled up in his laundry basket. “So, uh. You said ‘our mattress', so I'm assuming you're married.”

I shrug my shoulders, “Officially, no. But we've been engaged for fifteen years.”

“Fifteen years? So you never planned a wedding.”

“We never set a date. He was going through a divorce when we met, and paying child support. Money has always been tight, so planning a wedding wasn't really a priority. We're married in every other sense of the word so a ceremony or certificate doesn't really matter now.”

He sits down on the corner of the bed again, this time on Kevin's side. “You sound disappointed.”

I'm starting to feel uncomfortable dredging up what's missing between Kevin and I. “I don't have powerful and wealthy friends and family who can throw balls, weddings, or invite me to fancy parties like you and Kate do. So I've had to live vicariously through you two.”

“I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed it.. It's hard to make small talk sitting in a stranger's bedroom. Especially knowing another man sleeps here.”

I laugh, “Imagine what he'd think if he walked in right now?”

Drake suddenly gets up off the bed, looking around nervously. “Uh yeah, is he the jealous type by any chance?”

“I don't know. He's heard Hailey and I talk about you and Daniel on a regular basis, but doesn't seem to complain.”

“Who's Daniel?” he asks with a smirk.

I try to suppress my grin by covering my mouth and looking away, hoping he can't see me blushing in the dark. Why did he have to smirk at me?

“Oh, he's just an actor I've been crushing on for the past year or so.”

“And Hailey?”

“My ten year old daughter.”

Drake sits back down on the bed again. There's nowhere else to sit in my bedroom, and I’m still hiding behind my blanket and trying not to bare myself in front of him.

There's a heavy awkwardness in the room, and with Drake sitting on the edge of my double bed there isn't much space between us. He's still wearing his two shirts, and I can see the sweat trickling down the side of his neck.

“It's really warm in here isn't it?” he says, mopping the sweat off his face and then drying his hand on his jeans.

“Sorry, we don't have air conditioning.”

He starts to unbutton his denim shirt then stops as he sees me raise my eyebrows, “Oh wait. Would you mind if I took this off?”

I shake my head, feeling my heartbeat throbbing in my chest and throat as I try to swallow, “Not at all.”

I look over at the empty water bottle on my dresser, trying to distract myself from the fact that he was taking off his shirt. Is he as thirsty as I am right now?

I find myself rambling nervously as he shrugs out of his shirt and I catch a whiff of how great he smells. It's a mixture of clean cotton shirt and some kind of spicy deodorant.

“But how rude of me not to offer you a drink to cool yourself off. I wasn't exactly expecting anyone to come over. If you’d give me a minute to throw something on, we could continue our conversation out in the livingroom? Kevin has cold beer in the fridge.”

He stands up, his denim shirt bunched up in his hand, and his white tshirt clinging to his toned and perfect body. I can't help but feel a tingle all over at how great he looks.

“Oh sure..sure. I'd like that. I'll go wait in the hall then?” he smiles at me.

I nod, “I promise I won't take long.”

As soon as he leaves the room and closes the door behind him, I bolt out of bed and cover my mouth, my mind screaming. Ohmygod..ohmyfuck, holyshit!

A Neutron Star Merger, The Fall of A Formula One Hero, and a Belgian Maiden Grand Prix Win

The LIGO/Virgo collaboration teams, observed a gravitational wave event of a Neutron Star merger "with the probability that the source may have at least one object in between three and five solar masses" said LIGO, on September 1st.

📸: LIGO Twitter

Kilonova observations are extraordinarily rare, for when Neutron stars collide, the remnants left are showers of gold and platinum scattered into the universe. These showers bring forth metals like the ones found on Earth.

Elements beneficial to our very existence.

Although the remnants here are believed to have merged into a black hole.

Who would have imagined that to the world of Formula One, that same rip to the fabric of space and time of a binary system hundreds of millions of years in the making, could have different consequences in the racing track.

It would arrive the same day that Charles Leclerc would make his Maiden Grand Prix Win.

While one can’t be certain what Einstein meant when he said, "God does not play dice with the universe,” we can only think of this moment. The Universe may be 14 billion years old, and with that, heroes and legends can be made because heroes are not born. Through pain and tears, downforce and minimal drag, Gravity much like F=ma, can be good friends, but in one wrong Turn, all can become the enemy, to Formula One drivers.

They are made, on the track and in moments such as these.

Racing For Anthoine

Like the great Carl Sagan once said, “For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love.”

Anthoine Hubert, 22, of France, lost his life at the Belgian Grand Prix on August 31st.

The Renault French driver, was involved in a major accident with American Sauber driver, Juan Manuel Correa, at the Spa-Francorchamps. Hubert's car hit the bars then collided with Correa’s.

Correa, underwent surgery and “will remain in intensive care for at least another 24 hours to ensure that his condition can continue to be monitored by his surgical team,” read the official statement released on his website.

Anthoine Hubert, succumbed to his injuries after that tragic accident at Spa-Francorchamps.

A childhood friend to Charles Leclerc, someone he raced Karts with, laughed with, and joked with, perhaps looked up to race with head to head in this very track, the Monegasque now ran alone.

For Charles Leclerc, securing his maiden win at the Belgian Grand Prix, wouldn’t be the first place in his legacy, but a bequest to honor the memory of his now departed childhood friend.

Notwithstanding, everyone was racing for Anthoine and to honor his memory.

This was no ordinary race and as challenging as it was it would become one to remember.

The morning of Charles’ race, he'd been seen by the media talking to Anthoine’s family.

His mother, Nathalie, Father Victhor and brother Francois, gave him their support, as Nathalie embraced him.

That heartbreaking sight will live in the hearts of fans forever.

The Love of a Mother

📸: Kym Illman

It might have instilled love and strength in the Monegasque and a little extra push to go with the respect of millions of fans as a reminder that Anthoine would have wanted him to get to P1.

His last race having been practically stolen in Bahrain, this time, nothing would get in his way.

Phased, and unbelieving that any of it had happened, Anthoine’s loss, and his win, Charles said: “We were four kids dreaming of getting to Formula One.”

Anthoine Hubert, Charles Leclerc, Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly.

“We have grown up in karting together, so to lose him is a big shock for me, and everyone in the sport.”

“It was definitely the first situation for me where I have lost someone and then raced the following day. It is obviously quite challenging to close the visor and go through the exact corner —where he died— at the same speed as I did the day before.

Pierre Gasly, the Toro Rosso driver, gave Leclerc a little fuel to win the race too, had the words “ALWAYS WITH ME #AH19,” above the open view of his halo:

“I've grown up with this guy since I was seven in karting, we've been roommates, we've lived in the same apartment, in the same room for six years."

“We’ve been class mates, I’ve studied since I was 13 until 19 with him, with the same professor at a private school that the federation did. I’m still shocked.”

“You have to put it out of your mind because otherwise, you can’t race,” he added,

“I told Charles before the race: Please win this race for Anthoine, as we started racing in the same year, Charles, Anthoine, and myself. And Anthoine won the French Cup in 2005. We raced for many years and knew each other.”

Overtaken in Bahrain by a one-two Mercedes win, and getting wheel banged by Red Bull's, Max Verstappen in Austria, back in July, costing him-his first win, this one; means more.

“We lost a friend first of all — I would like to dedicate my first win to him. In my first race, we drove together, it's a shame what happened yesterday, I can't enjoy my victory fully.” Charles added.

"It is difficult to enjoy this victory, but hopefully, in two or three weeks, I will realize what happened.”

Everyone was cheering for Ferrari’s 16 to win it for Renault’s 19.

In the aftermath of Hubert’s passing, it’s hard to express what Leclerc must’ve felt like when he got to lap 19.

19 was Anthoine’s racing number, and the crowds paid tribute as well when the drivers came through.

it was no consequence that of all days, that Neutron Star Merger would be named S190901ap. The date that recorded the LIGO/Virgo's Neutron Stars Merger, which coincided with Anthoine's number.

And then you heard a solemn “This one is for Anthoine,” coming from Ferrari’s radio, said by Charles Leclerc upon finishing first.

Everyone burst, there was commotion everywhere, a good day and a sad day in Motorsports indeed for all the right reasons.

“It’s a good day but on the other hand losing Anthoine yesterday brings me back to 2005, my first ever French championship,” continued Leclerc during an interview.

📸: Kym Illman

A League of His Own

Seeing the Monegasque separate the Silver Arrows and keep good pace through and through, was what Formula One is all about, but is unfathomable to know how he must’ve felt while driving down Spa’s circuit or how he feels now that it’s been completed.

As youth of this new century, explorers and pioneers, one often forgets that millennials have much on their shoulders.

They’re here to make a name for themselves, and it's undeniable that on the way to greatness, they’re bound to lose those they love because this sport is ruthless.

Charles Leclerc won't be the exception, to the rule, but he's been the valid example of losing in every aspect and yet here he is. Racing and winning. Nothing deters his will to keep going.

The Scuderia Ferrari driver, and godson to Jules Bianchi, the last casualty to the sport before Hubert, is the living reminder that today's youth, still have plenty to look up to and much to fight for.

You could see him in the podium wearing a black armband with his entire Ferrari Team, as he raised his Trophy to the sky in honor of Anthoine.

Empowering generations of new drivers to not feel like outsiders. He might have lost a friend, his godfather, his father, that battle on two multifarious and defining races before, but on his third, he got his maiden trophy with a little help from above.

Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes spoke encomiums of Charles Leclerc after the race.

"It's not easy for any driver to jump into a top team like Ferrari against a four-time world champion, with much more experience, and then to continuously out-perform, out-qualify and out-drive him. But Charles’ results speak for themselves. There is a lot more greatness to come from him, and I am looking forward to racing alongside him in the future.”

“Then once I got in the car, as I did for my father two years ago, you need to put all the emotions to one side and focus on the job.”

Said, Leclerc “I was happy to win and remember him the way he deserved to be and, yeah, happy to do it on this day.”

"They are so much faster than us and Monza is all straights ... We will do our best, but it is going to be a tough job to match them.”

He lamented his inability to master those straights like Leclerc, before. Something the Monegasque is seemingly able to do. Monza will be the place to put the five time World Champion to a test.

"So, there's a lot more greatness to come from him and I'm looking forward to seeing his growth and racing alongside him ... Today, it was fun, trying to chase him. He was just a little bit too quick.”

Maybe, Chekhov was right after all about Entropy, that beautiful chaos that makes our universe work, It does come easy, but as I wrote in my book, “Entropy comes easy, but Love outgrows the Universe,”©️

"I was struggling in the corners, so that allowed him to get close," said Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari and Leclerc's Team mate.

"I couldn't hold him off for a very long time. I tried to obviously make him [Hamilton] lose time in order to give Charles a cushion, and in the end it was just enough, so it did the job.

"I couldn't stay in range to look after myself, and I was sort of playing a road block to make sure that Charles was gaining some time." He did everything to help his team mate achieve his first victory.

In a statement given by Daniel Ricciardo from Team Renault, he too admitted not wanting to race following Hubert’s untimely death.

“I know that, weirdly enough, the best way we can kind of show our respect was to race today,”

“But I don’t think any of us actually wanted to be here or wanted to race”

“At least, I’m speaking for myself, but I’m sure I’m not the only one. It was certainly tough to be here and try to put on a brave face for everyone.”

“I know a lot of people in the paddock are hurting so I think everyone’s relieved it’s done, we can move on from here, and hopefully it’s the last time that this happens.”

For the Renault fans, Ricciardo racing that day meant everything.

To know that a driver from his team had perished, how does one reconcile, to keep the morale high for the millions of fans aching so racing is the answer.

Is the one thing the Aussie does to help the fans, and he does it well. We appreciate the effort even when we know the heartbreak he's feeling. A collective effort from everyone now to help each other heed the call of the F1 neighbor even on social media.

We love him for it.

It becomes a Labor of Love.

“Since I was a child I’ve been looking up to Formula 1, dreaming to be first a Formula 1 driver, which happened last year, then driving for Ferrari this year, and then the first win today.”

“It’s a good day, but on the other hand, as I said, losing Anthoine yesterday brings me back to 2005, my first ever French championship. There was him, Esteban [Ocon], Pierre [Gasly] and myself. We were four kids that were dreaming of Formula 1. We grew up in karting for many, many years, and to lose him yesterday was a big shock for me but obviously for everyone in motorsport, so it was a very sad day.” - Charles Leclerc

A day filled with grief, racing, camaraderie, and the inextricable reminder that; the Universe is always at work.

Congratulations, Charles Leclerc and Team Ferrari for a well-deserved win.

We knew you had it all along.

“And when you want something, all the Universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” Paolo Coelho
