The cold seemed worse in Paris… I was never so glad of the fur-lined cape as I was then. I wrapped it around Nicolas and held him close to me when we went out together, and we walked in a tight embrace through the snow and the rain.
Cold or no cold, I can’t exaggerate the happiness of these days. Life was exactly what I thought it could be.
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 don’t think AR has said anything about casting Claudia specifically.* It’s another tough role to cast age-wise, bc she’s supposed to be just barely 5 years old, and 5 year olds definitely age.
^X@claudia-lilvampire found this pic of Christopher Mason and his daughter Basie (she looks closer to 4 here?), very Lestat and Claudia ❤
Casting Claudia will probably not be an issue if they start with TVL, bc Claudia’s only in IWTV, and just mentioned in later books. But… let’s cast an actress as Lestat’s little sister for TVL, the 8th de Lioncourt child, and then have her play Claudia, too! The resemblance would be so heartbreaking! ;A; Mireille de Lioncourt, so named by@viaticumforthemarquise.
For funsies tho, I must inform you… awhile back, @hyperbeeb suggested Mia Talerico [X], who just turned 9 on 9/17/16, and I have to agree!
Mia’s had a long career already (IMDB says she was eleven months old when she started filming Good Luck Charlie, so that’s 7 yrs of acting, being directed, being comfortable in front of the cameras, etc.). I did a whole post about her here. She’s pretty much my headcanon when I write Claudia.
Anne said age wouldn’t be as much as an issue for Claudia since they won’t be spending as much time with her as they are with Armand. She basically said any talented little girl will do.
But I want Miaaaaa.… *w*
Thanks @firelight-fading, I don’t follow AR’s FB or the OVCFB religously enough to have answered as definitively as you did, I’m glad that she is still planning on telling that story, as well.
AAAAHHHH this is WONDERFUL this fandom is so good and so pure, thank you for illustrating the ridiculous coffeeshop AU idea. I will totally write something for this (after I finish my VC secret santa thing). I love both their attitudes and how Lestat is surrounded by a bubble of incomprehensible pet names/low key come ons and I am 1000% sure this is how Lestat appears to Louis at all times. All times.
