Prompt: “I would like a cutesy little oneshot/AU with Claudia, Lestat, and Louis enjoying Christmas morning (or evening). If any positive/believable Lestat and Claudia interaction were possible that would be good.”

For one of their early Christmases together as a family, Claudia has a special gift for Papa Jaune. Some of the smallest gifts turn out to be the very best ;D
Hope you like, Happy Holidays ❤

To Louis and/or Lestat: what lullabies would you sing to Claudia?
♛We did sing to her, lullabies of our own childhood that we could remember. These were obscure songs known only to our caregivers, we both had nurses in childhood – neither of our mothers sang to us, although Louis recalls now that his sister sometimes sang to his brother when he was very young.
But if we really wanted her to fall asleep, a better solution was for me to play her a piece on harpsichord or piano while Louis held her, bundled up in her favorite blanket, and brushed her hair. She’d be out cold in minutes.
Or even something more lively like this piece:
//ooc; IDK what song the 2nd video’s song is.
We’re not too sure of what lullabies exist now that they might have sung to Claudia… but @takemetocoffin-or-losemeforever shared this piece, apparently from Louisiana:

Something happy was promised. We have a decent amount of Louis and Claudia fics out there (decent…), but not nearly enough Lestat and Claudia. Obvious reasons, no doubt, but he did love her in his own way.
This is a sort of alternate universe where they adopt Claudia—without turning her—as a baby instead.
Sweet little AU ficlet, gifted to me, and I am so very touched! What a lovely gift ❤
@grrhatlet is right, there is a dearth of Lestat and Claudia fics out there, and this was much needed.

Wishing you both the happiest (especially Lestat) and a grand night of celebrating! :)
Louis: If, by some miracle, you and Lestat switched roles for a day, what would you do with the newfound advantage of Lestat being forced to go along with your escapades for a change?
♠Oh, but he does go along with my “escapades.” Quite often. His ghostwriter just doesn’t write about it in his books. Few realize that ours is not the one-sided relationship it may appear to be on the surface.
Lestat: do you think your mother is aware of the nature of your and Louis’ relationship?
♛I certainly hope she’s aware by now, we’ve had plenty of physical displays of affection right in front of her!
