#specifically the books tho the movies dont do a great job of portraying louis and lestats connection and ive not seen the show

i think if any one was to write a steddie/vampire chronicles au, steve should be louis and eddie as lestat, the parallels dont need to be explained you get it

and if someone wrote it, i feel they should base it off of the queen of the damned novel, it could be an au retelling the story with steddie as the characters instead of loustat or even an canon divergent au where eddie becomes an vampire after the upside down scenario in the '86, i definitely think it works with the book arc the best, not the movie version

like you get eddie becoming a vampire rockstar for the bit, part of lestats whole motivation was to reach out to louis to warn him about akasha awakening, and lets not forget the reunion after the final concert performance, imagine eddie performing, trying to get out a message for steve 40 years later, then they reunite and its like they never separated, then you have them getting the party back together for a final showdown be it vecna or some other upsidedown entity, i just think itd be so fun

#steve was clearly turned at some point by eddie possibly early in their relationship and post st4 #not going to imagine a reason for them to split up bc louis had a lot of resentment for lestat so im not putting myself in that headspace rn #but you can insert whtvr be it immortality being a burden or right person wrong time #im partial to merging the major arc of queen of the damned with the plot of stranger things post s4vecna but i can see the other way working #i dont know if anyone has considered this at all but its eating my thoughts atm #i know it seems random but ive spent the whole morning talking about the vampire chronicle books and i love anne rices writing #and like the parallels definitely aren't completely in sync but it would be a great concept #specifically the books tho the movies dont do a great job of portraying louis and lestats connection and ive not seen the show #but its a different story so it doesnt have the same story beats that would fit steddies dynamic #i might just write the van scene in qotd but the whole book is ripe with opportunities for an au #steddie #stranger things #stranger things headcanons #stranger things brainrot #if anyone would be interested in writing this pls let me know #also no one get onto me about my explanation of the books i am paraphrasing an 800page novel
