I’m reading it, even knowing spoilers, bc I’m searching for glimmers of OUR Lestat, the one we know and love, I’m searching for little gems of moments that are true to the characters, I’m searching for scenes that could be corrected with fanfic/fanart… there may be little bits that are salvagable…
Even though I dispute it being MY headcanon, I’m invested in the characters enough that I am intrigued by the crackiness that their author has conjured up for them. Jump the shark/couch? This book has jumped the Empire State Building.
i-want-my-iwtv: YES they smooched in the new book.
EDIT: CORRECTION: That quote was from Tale of the Body Thief. But you know those two idiots kissed in Prince Lestat, whether explicitly written or not, bc of reasons.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. NOTHING TO ADD OR CORRECT HERE.

I stopped. I put my arm around him. I held him close to me.
“I’m Lestat,” I said in a low voice. “Your Lestat. I’m the same Lestat you’ve always known, and no matter how I’m changed, I’m still that same being.”
“I know,” he said warmly.
I kissed him. I pressed my lips to his and I held this kiss for a long silent moment. And then I gave in to a silent wave of feeling, and I took him in my arms. I held him tight against me. I felt his unmistakable silken skin, his soft shining black hair. I heard the blood throbbing in him, and time dissolved, and it seemed I was in some old and secret place, some warm tropical grotto we’d once shared, ours alone in some way, with the scent of sweet olive blossoms and the whisper of moist breeze. “I love you,” I whispered.
In a low intimate voice, he answered: “My heart is yours.”

My heartfelt congratulations and sympathies to anyone who feels they can put up with Lestat for a lifetime or longer.
