do you ever read a fic that is so much better than the actual canon that you get angry
Welcome to the Vampire Chronicles fandom, my friends.

This is a falsehood.
When he was very young, his brothers (not known for their kindness), told him this story. They made it quite clear to him that his parents, having no love left for him after six children, took the laziest route possible in naming him.
This is, of course, an utter lie. I’ve already told the story here of Lestat’s naming—and I’ve also explained this to him many times (he tends to accept this story as a part of his own mythology, unfortunately).
He does, from time to time, need reminding that his name, just like my love for him, was not accidental in nature. He is, and ever will be, my Lestat. Thus I named him, and thus I keep him.
And his brothers are dead. So there’s that.
(he tends to accept this story as a part of his own mythology, unfortunately).He picks and chooses his own mythology, for SURE.
“What an unusual name, Lestat,” she returned. “Does it have a meaning?”
“None whatsoever, Madam,” Lestat answered. “If memory serves me right, and it does less and less, the name’s compounded of the first letter of each of my six older brothers’ names, all of whom – the brothers and their names – I grew up to cheerfully and vigorously despise.”

So he must have known all his brothers before they died ;A;
Discussing this with viaticumforthemarquise… maybe Augustin (or one of Lestat’s brothers) told him that just to hurt his feelings, like “YOU ARE SO WORTHLESS THAT AT BIRTH OUR PARENTS COULD ONLY MUSTER THE CREATIVITY TO TAKE A LETTER FROM EACH OF OUR NAMES” *SLAPS*
Lestat: *screaming internally*
They told him this at a young age … and he never questioned it.
BF has its moments, for sure!
Re: the ghost sex… um, well… AR certainly attempts to give us freshly Creative Spooky Sexytimes!
tbh I don’t remember that book very well, but I think there was an element of that ghost getting sensual pleasure through Quinn’s sensual pleasure… I don’t want to spoil it for anyone but it is worth a skim at the very least.
“And books, they offer one hope — that a whole universe might open up from between the covers, and falling into that universe, one is saved.”

‘No, but one can feel desperate at any age, don’t you think? The young are eternally desperate,’ he said frankly. ‘And books, they offer one hope—- that a whole universe might open up from between the covers, and falling into that new universe, one is saved.’
