Louis de Pointe du Lac & Nicolas de Lenfent

Based off of the Le Mort Joyeux plot, in which Louis and Nicolas meet in 1970s San Francisco.

Louis’ hand followed the wooden banister as he ascended the steps behind the other vampire. He moved slowly, reaching the third floor a few paces after this “Nicolas.” He could hear music playing in an occupied apartment down the hall, a recording of The Beatle’s Hey Jude. It smelled of incense here too; bohemian indeed.

“Take me to heaven or hell.” They were the first words he’d spoken since they’d left the bridge.
–
The other man’s voice had a soft, beautiful cadence to it, slipping into Nicolas’ ears like a secret. He turned around to face him, his face gentle, playfully inquisitive. He stepped forward, closing the distance between them, breathing in the vampire’s scent, the sound and smell of the blood pumping underneath his flesh. He shrugged, gracefully, his eyes finding those shocking green ones. “How about a little of both, hm?”

ғᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴇᴍᴇ, “sᴇɴᴅ ᴍᴇ ⚜ + ᴀ ᴜʀʟ ᴀɴᴅ ɪ’ʟʟ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ᴀ ɢʀᴀᴘʜɪᴄ ᴏғ ᴏᴜʀ ᴍᴜsᴇ’s ʀᴇʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴsʜɪᴘ ᴀᴇsᴛʜᴇᴛɪᴄ.”

Anne does often try to change her cannon, but that follows the books. No one mentioned sex until the third book, when Lestat said that male vampires couldn’t…ahem, work that part of their anatomy. Louis mentioned in the first one that the blood exchange of vampires, and the killing of mortals was more intimate than intercourse anyway.

Thank you for clearing that up! I remember Louis mentioning the intimacy thing but I totally forgot about Lestat. I just have a vivid memory of Armand and Daniel in bed and I guess my mind tried to fill in the blanks.

Honestly, It’s been so long since I’ve read them that I’m starting to wonder what I actually read and what my friends and I headcanon’ed.

#Your headcanon my vary

Is Lestat’s dog, Mojo, still alive?

[Soggy Dog / / Sian Jones]

Mojo is unfortunately dead. I don’t remember it said explicitly in canon, but he was already an adult dog in ToBT (published in 1992, story taking place in 1986?), and here we are, 23 yrs later, so… one can assume he’s passed on.

“Humans live as long as they do to learn to love with all their heart. Dogs are born with this ability, and that’s why they don’t live as long.” [X]

There was a beautiful little chapter in a long!fic in which Lestat puts him down humanely ;A;

They’ve since gotten a new dog (in fanon). His name is Murphy, I believe. He will never replace Mojo, and he isn’t meant to. As any dog owner might agree, every dog has its own life and relationship with its family.

The five types of canon.

Canon: What actually happened.

Headcanon: What you think happened, based on the characters, settings, storylines and all reasonable extrapolations thereof.

Heartcanon: What you feel ought to have happened, quite divorced from rationality or sense.

Soulcanon: What you know happened, deep down in your soul, regardless of what anyone says. Including the creators of canon, themselves.

Crotchcanon: What your gonads wish had happened, or, alternatively, what turns you on.

Oh my goodness.

They forgot fanon which seems to be confused these days with canon…

So, what is “fanon” then?

//Fanon is stuff not in canon but that’s so prevalent in fandom that people have largely forgotten it’s not in the source material, ie, Daniel Molloy wearing glasses (which is Movieverse Canon, but literally never happens in the books). It’s headcanons that are extremely common or permeate the fandom so deeply it’s hard to separate them from canon, even if they never actually appear in the main material. (I think.. maybe someone else can explain it better.)

“The book never said it /didn’t/ happen” i say as I rub my little fangirl hands together.

Which books do you personally and/or (if you might feel differently) the majority of the fandom regard as canon?

Dear anon, this is an impossible question to answer a simple “Books 1-4″ or “Books 1-3, and then 5″ or such and so forth…

… as some ppl refuse to read Prince Lestat, or a bunch of the other books, won’t even give them a chance ~~not that they all deserve a wholehearted chance necessarily…~~

Keep reading

Very good description. It really does depend on who you ask, ~~I personally admit them all before Prince Lestat to be cannon, that last one went just a bit too far.~~

i I personally recommend that people read the first three books (IWTV, TVL, QOTD) and if they really enjoy it to try reading the rest of them.

But my caveat for that is that if they don’t care for Body Thief or Memnoch then still give Pandora and Vittorio a chance, then Armand, and if they enjoyed Armand and Pandora, to try Blood and Gold.

Its complicated, but so is the series, for such a seemingly straightforward concept of “vampires decide to write tell-all memoirs of their behind the scenes lives.”
