The start of our new (and small, we plan on doing 8 at most) series of lost chapters for our Signature Blend collab 😉 by yours truly and @wicked-felina (Rebness).
Lestat de Lioncourt is a high-flying businessman out for revenge on ruthless boss Santino, with the help of his best friend David Talbot. There’s just one complication: on Santino’s side is Lestat’s ex, Louis de Pointe du Lac.
…but I don’t remember if it’s mafia-related or all legal business.

Baristas Daniel and Louis w/ their picky customer Lestat from our coffee shop AU!<3 @wicked-felina commissioned @sheepskeleton to make this for me as an early birthday gift, so sweet! I love it *u*
Lestat making hearteyes at Louis,
…who is like, SUPER trying to ignore the hearteyes….
but he got the name right on the cup!
The little details!
Dan is actually making the cappuccino with the proper technique!
Dan is in on this, he definitely texted Lestat that Louis was back from his break so he couldn’t very well disappear
I am so touched. gawd, Lestat even has a teensy lil dimple!
I said to @i-want-my-iwtv I’d do it, here they are. Ship babies for Daniel/Armand and Lestat/Armand. They could not be raised any more differently, if you ask me. Dan/Ar baby would be practically feral considering both parents were pretty wacky during their time together. Les/Ar baby is literally
the worst.
Poor Dan/Ar baby! I think they’d forget to feed it… and the Les/Ar baby would be a holy error. And a holy terror! Both.
If Louis had gone back to France like his brother wanted, well… who knows what his life would have been like? His brother wanted him to sell “everything we owned, and use
the money to do God’s work in France.” So, would they move the women into a convent to be nuns; freeing Louis and Paul to become priests or monks? In Paris, or some other part of France?
If Louis was a priest in Paris, would he have drawn the attention of any of the vampires there? The Theatre des Vampires was set up and had been going for some 10 years by the time Lestat met Louis. Armand was there. If he met Louis as a mortal, would he have been interested in him at all? I don’t know. Part of what drew Armand to Louis was his connection to Lestat. Would Louis still be as appealing without that connection? Would he be appealing as a companion to any other vampires roaming around in France at that time?
Those are all questions to consider.
I don’t think anyone would have chosen him to vampire, if he were some French priest, probably dissatisfied with his life choices. They might have just killed him for fun, though. The TdV killed innocents and they seemed to really enjoy killing the beautiful ppl, and he still would have been attractive enough for that.
As to Louis having a different maker, that’s why I couldn’t answer this ask sooner. It’s too big a question for me!
Physically, he probably would have been better off. He was Lestat’s 3rd in about a decade (and Lestat himself was still very young!), contributing to his ‘weakness’ as a vampire, and lack of some of the vampiric gifts that others can get when they’re turned.
But I think no matter who turned him, or how strong he was, he would still struggle with the whole killing people issue. Marius might have helped guide him into it more slowly. As problematic as Marius became later, in earlier canon we knew him as a mentor figure, and if he had just been that, with no Amadeo situation, he might have been a good maker for Louis.
I’ll open it up to everyone else bc it’s just too big a question: Who would have made a better maker for Louis, and why?
My goal with this blog has always been to share fanworks and positivity (and the #not VC stuff that slips in if I feel like it serves some relevant purpose) and to make people feel included, if possible.
Fandom is a nebulous thing, but being supportive of fanworks and ideas is a good way to be inclusive. It’s made the whole experience so rich for me, and brought some wonderful ppl into my life, whether I talk to them regularly or just see their comments/tags, see their RP or ideas in my dash, etc ^_____^
Yes, I remember your encouraging comments on the
collab I did w/ @wicked-felina (Rebness). Thank u for sticking with us throughout, your comments really kept us motivated and fast with the updates *hugs* Comments like yours made it so much more fun than if Rebness and I were writing just for each other, and we definitely want to collab again! ♥♥♥
I know! I will love Antonio!Armand 5ever*… it’s like spydad!Armand AU ok at this point maybe not Armand so much anymore… but whatever it’s a cute thing to think about
^Armand & Allesandra <333 (I don’t ship it in canon but it has shipping potential in RP/fanfic/fanart).
*even though he’s a fandom punching bag, that’s fine, I can still love him to bits on my own *u*
