The thing about VC fanfic is that we still have to be sort of careful about sharing it bc of reasons. Even so, I feel compelled to give you something. And again, I try not to play favorites *sigh* but in the case of fanfic, I can be a little more lenient and rec a few things out ^_____^ The following content is slightly revised from how I answered an Ask seeking fanfic awhile back.

I have to recc my own stuff first (which is mostly L/L) on AO3 under Burnadette_dpdL. De Motu Cordis

has one of the highest hit counts. L/L lovey fluff *blushes* so maybe start there, but A Precious Material is probably one of my own faves.

Archive of Our Own (aka AO3) has a mission statement about protecting fanworks from copyright infringement arguments, so I feel pretty safe recc’ing stuff that’s on there but dL anything you like, just in case, bc authors also sometimes remove their works w/o warning.

Hit the jump for some reccs

  • Carriage Ride was a collab I did w/ 3 other authors, and is very short but sweet L/L.
  • Gulfport: A British Petroleum Fanfic (Part One) by hw_campbell_jnr – There are 2 parts and it’s incomplete but this is devastatingly beautiful long!fic. Hipster modern Lestat and Louis, both going by pseudonyms, politics woven in, it’s just too good. It annoys me how good it is. I am annoyed. I would be less annoyed if it were COMPLETED *forcibly nudges the author*
  • The Grim Brothers by Rebness – incomplete but it’s a fun little werewolf AU! I hope the author picks it up again someday *forcibly nudges the author*
  • The Sexting Caper by Gairid – because sexting! 
  • The Haunting by Gairid – A haunted object.
  • Gairid also has some excellent long!fics and collaborations with Leshanthat are worth checking out, too many to list here.
  • One Night in New Orleans by iskra667 – L/L dubcon angst, fluff, I just really enjoy it.

There are also drabbles and links to fic of L/L and/or other characters in my

#fanfic, and #damn you and your perfect headcanon perfection tags here. There’s also some fine stuff in the @vcsecretgifts archive.

For post-PL, you might ask @antoineandthepiano, @roselioncourt, and @viktor-de-lioncourt who are RPers set post-PL.

l–e–s–t–a–t:

You know what sounded like a great idea, let’s paint Lestat in a flower crown, yes that character from a movie that nobody has seen in 10 years that came out on VHS in the 80′s. Yeah let’s do that! 

I’m about 6-8 hours in at this point and still have a good amount of work ahead of me. I’ve decided since starting this project though that if Lestat ever ran a tumblr blog it would be nothing but pictures of hot guys in flower crowns, cigarettes, white mochas, quotes that point out how he’s better than he everyone else, and occasionally crazy posts about Brad Pitt leaving him that everyone will think is about his boyfriend. 

I’m pretty sure I’m going to throw him up in my print shop after this because everyone needs a pastel Lestat on a mug with a catchy play on words right? Or at least I do. 

PS: I’m also trying a new painting style for this to stick more with my blending oil style that I do when I paint on actual canvas. 

Find it on Deviantart

Fabulous!

surely Lestat, you look into your fans messages on social media? What do you think of the mortals of tumblr who appreciate your work?

♛Of course I do! I’ve been answering my fans’ messages on this account, and on other accounts as well (Have to maintain a variety of them, so you don’t know which of these is the real McCoy, can’t put Louis’ safety in jeopardy and all that, you understand). 

I’m deeply touched that my fans want to dig deeper and ask for more than I’ve already given, I never could have predicted that their ravenous thirst would only increase over time. They’re never satisfied! I also keep their beautiful artworks and writing and go through them whenever I need a little ego stroking *smirks*

That there is such a glut of other vampire media out there and my fans still demand my stories, over and over again, just goes to show that they’re not just into my species as a whole, but specifically, the tales revolving around my coven. I read Sam Spade comics for him specifically; I’m not drawn to all fictional detectives. Something about him and his allies and enemies was compelling. Probably like that for my fans, and is there anything more flattering than being preferred?

My will gives me the strength to continue on the Devil’s Road, but my fans give me the responsibility of being their driver. I know that they ride along with me, and they are always in the back of my mind. Some of them are backseat drivers and would prefer I respect things like the speed limit, but I’m very good at ignoring backseat drivers by now *winks*

Have you or Louis ever heard of or have ever been to a library called El Ateneo Grand Splendid? It’s a 100 year old Theatre converted into a library in Argentina. I’ve only seen pictures of it and it looks amazingly beautiful.

♛Louis recently dragged me to this place in Buenos Aires kicking and screaming, I mean, a bookstore? Go down deep into South America for a bookstore. I was livid. Had to distract myself on the jet there by furiously scouring the internet for a drug cartel or some other high-level evildoer group to hunt there. I protested the entire trip. I laid such thick disdain on him for it… 

[X] Until I walked through the entrance and fell in complete love with the place. A theatre! Converted, well, really more of a library, than a mere bookstore! Brightly lit, with people seated at tables on stage, delectable smelling coffees served as a pianist filled the space with pleasant melody. Small areas on balconies where still more people immersed themselves in fact and fiction. The place had a sense of grandeur, there was an echo of the history, all the stories that were orally told there, and all the stories now being told in paper.

It warmed my black little heart to make that connection, that a storyteller is still a storyteller, and an audience member still an audience member, in different fashions through the ages.

I had to find my section, of course. All of my novels have been translated into Spanish, and there they stood on two long shelves. I saw several fresh young teens sitting on the floor with my books open on their laps. If they had looked up for a moment, I’m sure they would have recognized me. 

When I pointed out to him that there were no copies of Louis’ book, so it must be unpopular, he had the audacity to retort that his book was a better seller than any one of mine, and a quick inquiry with a salesperson confirmed that they were indeed sold out of his book. WELL. 

I autographed a few copies of mine and tucked them back on the shelf anyway.

I really want to know your stance on the musical – I personally love the score, but think that the book and production value tore it apart.

^fanart by @garama, who must have seen it live or the video of it, and has drawn fanart based on the musical, so he must have liked it! This is one of my all-time fave fanarts of Nicki/Lestat ❤ i just want to buy a whole graphic novel in this beautiful heartfelt style is that so much to ask *cries*

Some ppl loved Lestat the Musical, and more power to them! I am jealous of them. IDK if you saw the SF version or NYC version, live or video of it, but I saw the NYC version live and I did not like it. I partially blame the NYC producers for that, bc they apparently stripped out alot of the flair and gay stuff, maybe they were afraid it was pushing the envelope too far? But isn’t that what theatre is supposed to do? *sigh*

You can find ppl who enjoyed it, and other stuff about it, in my #Lestat the Musical tag.

Sadly, I mostly feel second-hand embarrassment for Lestat the Musical bc I made the mistake of inviting my cousin to go w/ me. She was not in the fandom, and she was uncomfortable the whole time *facepalm* Idk I thought she’d be into it, but the NYC version we saw was stripped so bare, and there was little to engage with. I can’t even listen to the soundtrack! It just brings me back to how disappointed I was in the bareness of the production, at the whole audience’s lack of enthusiasm… much cry, very sad.

So I have to be cautiously optimistic about the adaptation in the works and hope that they considered Lestat the Musical and can avoid its pitfalls.
