Bon anniversaire, ma moitié.

226 years ago, I accidentally stumbled across you in a sordid little inn by the waterfront. Since that moment, my life has never been quite the same. 

I love you. Stupidly, foolishly, against both of our better instincts. Thank you for ignoring your better judgement and coming back to me, again and again and again. 

So…You wanted a bath? Let’s have a bath. 

Ah, and so lucky for you, that I have such poor judgement.  I love you too, mon coeur.

One could hardly turn down such a proposition, given the breathtaking view.

You even trusted me enough to have candles beside the bath.  I am flattered.

Dear Mater Fabuloso! Are you the infamous Fanfiction Writer Burnadette? If this is so, my Friend Diana Elisabeth Raum asked me to say thank you for posting her work yesterday and I should tell you that she really really loves your fanfictions! And I love them, too! Thank you for all the great stories from you from both of us. Many greetings from Germany!

YES thank u so much! I am the infamous Fanfiction Writer Burnadette (on AO3, shameless self-promotion). What a lovely compliment all the way from Germany! *flails*

more fic to come, if I can kick myself into doing it, and messages like these are definitely encouraging!

I have to turn this into a little appreciation post to Lady Diana Elisabeth Raum, because I’ve been meaning to do so: I LOOOOOOVE your fanart. LOVE. 

We are going to need to see all of your VC fanart. ALL ♥u♥

  

Start a tumblr or let @sam-biteback post it. Because your Lestat/Louis piece is one of my absolute favorites of them (and we need this in better scan quality so we can see the details better):

Louis: “What have you done this time, Lestat?”

Lestat: “Shhhh, Louis, let’s enjoy the silence of your not knowing… for a few more minutes.”

Louis: *siiigh*

And your illustration of Lestat on your Prince Lestat cover was wayyy better than what we got in the US or UK.

This male model… um… No. I know he’s trying but NO. And in the US all we got was a glossy font! NO illustration at all!

The Art of the Vampire at its Peak in the year 1876: Armand’s Lesson

merciful-death:

Printed in Playboy magazine, January 1979, By Anne Rice

The book “Interview with the Vampire” as published form represents only a portion of the tapes of that interview made by the reporter. Louis told the young man much that was not included,particularly with regard to the master vampire, Armand, whom he had met in Paris. One tale was Armand’s account of his methods of seduction; that is, the art of the vampire at its peak in the year 1876.

(Someone kill me, this is one of the sexiest things I’ve ever read, and I just keep thinking of Louis retelling this to Daniel and GODDAMN).

ooc; I love how Armand calls himself Gentleman Death in this.  What a Lestat poser.

I love this though, and somehow always forget it exists.

It also pleases me that it goes along with my headcanon that there were things Louis told Daniel that didn’t get put in the book.

What is the most romantic gesture you have ever received? Given?

a-misunderstanding-my-love:

Once, in Paris, after finding Lestat in bed with one of the actresses in the theatre, we had a fantastic knock-down drag-out fight, ending with him sporting a black eye and me kicking him out of the flat. 

For three weeks, he slept in his dressing room and busked daily in the boulevard, foregoing wine and any other extravagance in order to buy me more music lessons with Mozart as an apology. 

This may not sound like much, but if you know Lestat, you’ll know that the will power required for such a gift was…well, impressive, to say the least. 

As for myself… I do not know. I am not one who specializes in romantic gestures. I’m not terribly fond of them.

J.C. Leyendecker illustrations: Vampire Chronicles edition. My boyfriend saw me reblog these earlier and thought the first one looked like Lestat. And well, you know Marius and bathtime…

Lestat and the enormously deep jacket cuffs and the waterfall of lace. I can hardly stand how perfect that outfit is.
