    Summary

    In the chill, February air, Lestat stood with her face pointed towards the sky. She let her eyes fall shut, imagining the white face paint that had turned pink with sweat lining her cheeks. The alcohol had just started to hit her, a teasing, ticklish feeling evoked in his chest. The number of victims was lost on her – five, though that was just the figures she could still picture in her head. She had told Louis she would not be inebriated tonight, that she would not be foolish; though she expected he knew better than to trust her word by now. Who was she if not deceitful, standing by her words as much as Frankenstein by his creature? Oh well, she let her mind wander. Let us see where the night takes us.

    ---

    Lestat, a closeted trans woman, is drunk out of her mind and must navigate her suppressed emotions regarding her gender identity with Louis during Mardi Gras.

    Summary

    "Was I good, Louis? Was I good for you?"

    Louis laughed lowly, the vibrations of it making Lestat shudder. “You used to ask that every time, Lestat. And I always gave you the same answer.”

    Lestat shrugged, smiling. “Who knows? It might change.”

    “It can never not be good with you,” Louis mumbled.

    Those words almost made Lestat start crying again. A lick of pride, but a stronger feeling of usefulness. He was good at this and had always been good at this.

    Summary

    The man sitting in front of him is a vampire, that much is clear from the moment he first laid eyes on him. He's interested in renting the entire venue out for a few nights, hosting a private party for some old friends. He’d like music, and drinks. Live music, if possible, live music and drinks in the same package, if they would be so kind. And a special request, one he has not divulged yet, but which Louis is sure they will find a way to accommodate.

    *****

    Being in the spotlight opens the possibility of coming face to face with some old ghosts, and when hallucinations and reality have started to blur into each other in your mind, who's to say what's real and what's not?

    Summary

    Some days are good. Good enough that life feels almost normal again.

    Some days are a blur. He feels gentle touches in his hair, hears words he's too tired to understand.

    And some days, when he notices how much time Louis is spending with him, when he realises how horrible he's being to him, he's just choked by the guilt of it all.

    ****

    Lestat has promised Louis a year together before going underground. This is a collection of events from that year.
