Dear my Charming Prince Lestat, in a post over a year ago you mentioned having made custom fangs made for a friend of yours molded off of your own. May you pretty please – with a blood drop on top – elaborate on that? And Louis, what was your reaction to Lestat getting his tattoo? (Your words, not his)

Oui, ma petite. I did mention that particular gift *smiles* and it is a gift that keeps on giving… It was a gift for a mortal we have grown extremely attached to, allowed his life to tangle into ours, and shared some very intimate evenings together. “Ours” not in the royal sense but in the Mine and Louis’ sense.

Our beloved Brian Callahan drove into our lives one night by chance; he was assigned to chauffeur us to the airport on a night that we preferred mortal transit. Since then, he became a personal assistant, friend, and then even closer as a lover for one or both of us at different times… It’s difficult to say that fate was not involved. I don’t know that I would call it fate that brought Louis and I together, but a similar invisible thread must have brought Brian to us as the one that brought Louis and I together. 

During our more intimate moments, I’d wanted to see Brian with fangs of his own, wanted him to be able to pierce our flesh without hand-held blades (even as erotic as seeing him with an antique razor has been) or having us do it for him, but there is more consideration to be had over whether he wants the more permanent fangs. The custom fangs are fashioned of a white pearlescent metal that he can remove, but again, they are not just for show; the intention was for them to be functional and they are reinforced enough that he can truly bite, quite firmly and pleasurably. What he has are stunning and vicious training wheels *flicks fangs* We all enjoy them.

I will add here that the fangsmith who made his fangs had been very impressed with mine, and asked me, repeatedly, “Who did your work?” and refused to believe that they’re real. Finally I told him, “Magnus.”

And the fangsmith said he’d never heard of that designer. I replied very curtly: “He’s French and he’s dead.”

…Louis will answer your other question separately, about the time I had “Property of Louis” tattooed across my chest just to rile him, it was a trick that could only be done once, and his reaction far exceeded my expectations!


//ooc; I meant to write that fic about the custom fangs, and it’s @vampchronfic/@gairid‘s OC, Brian Callahan (click his name for more about him, but if you really want to get to know him, you’ll have to read Gairid’s fics on AO3!

Also, wow, I am beyond flattered that you dug that deeply into my archive to followup on that. *hearteyes* I had asked Gairid if I could write that fic with her OC, and she’s even given me notes and encouragement for it, but like many fic ideas, it’s fallen to the backburner. 

Your ask has renewed my interest in it… and maybe I’ll try to actually write it. Thank you for that!

^All of which also applies to the tattoo thing, too! We’ll see what Louis says in his answer about it.
