It’s too late to kinkshame Lestat probably
i’m kinkshaming him anyway

Have you read any good Louis/ Lestat fics that you would recommend?
Fanfic?? there’s no such thing as VC fanfic… pfffft. What are you crazy honestly??! J/k it’s out there. *blows kisses at AO3*
Recommendations…

Thanks for asking! I haven’t had a fanfic rec request in awhile.
However, as far as “good L/L fics,” that is wholly and wildly subjective. The danger of recommending any fic runs the same risk of doing those Follow Forever posts, which I don’t do, because I’ve seen ppl who were left out feel hurt and excluded.
Recommending fic feels slightly different to me bc it’s up to every reader whether they like something or not, and I don’t read every fic with that pairing. My closer VC friends and I happen to agree on many favorite fics and that’s been wonderful, but please ask other ppl for recommendations, too. Anyone is welcome to reblog/comment with recs!
My tags:
- #fanfic – some of this tag is more about the topic of fanfic itself, but there are fics mixed in there.
- #Fresh fanfic
- #damn you and your perfect headcanon perfection tags here.
- There’s also some fine stuff in the @vcsecretgifts archive.
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:
- 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, Lestat going by a pseudonym, 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.
-
by Rebness (@wicked-felina) – what I love about this, among other things, is that it really is retail therapy for Lestat without that needing to be explained, and has a sweet ending ❤
- The Grim Brothers by Rebness
– incomplete but it’s a fun little werewolf AU! I hope the author picks it up again someday *NUDGES*
- The Hostile Takeover by StellaMachiavelli (@stellamachiavelliici) – is a legendary fic.
“Lestat de Lioncourt is a high-flying businessman out for revenge on ruthless boss Santino, with the help of his best friend David Talbot. There’s just one complication: on Santino’s side is Lestat’s ex, Louis de Pointe du Lac.” - The Sexting Caper by Gairid – because sexting!
- The Haunting by Gairid – A haunted object.
- Gairid (@gairid, @vampchronfic) also has some excellent long!fics and collaborations with Leshan that are worth checking out, too many to list here.
- My stuff… see Burnadette_dpdL. De Motu Cordis is not my fave but has one of the highest hit counts. L/L lovey fluff *blushes*
- One Night in New Orleans by iskra667 – L/L angst, fluff, warning: it explores some darker themes and contains dubious consent.
- Childhood memory – a harsh lesson is learned (not the official title) @devilsfool – not L/L but I always have to rec it, a response to an Ask, a first kiss, child!Lestat.
- Lestat’s actual birthday (not the official title) by @viaticumforthemarquise –
not L/L but I always have to rec it,
Gabrielle’s POV on the day Lestat is born oh gawds! Baby!Lestat

This is my version of Lestat from The Vampire Chronicles written by Anne Rice, I hope you like it…
I showed this picture to Anne Rice by facebook, she said it was “A tribute to the Brat Prince”
Here you can see link
“The Kubrick Stare, sometimes referred to as the Kubrick Glare, is a common camera shot of an actor in most of Stanley Kubrick’s films. The Kubrick Glare has been called the “heavy-browed look of insanity”. It symbolizes that the character in question is either really, really pissed or really becoming deranged, and the person they’re looking at is really, really screwed. Other times—usually when combined with a smile—it means they’re feeling really, really clever. Either way, it’s really creepy and ominous.”

would you happen to have any ridiculous Lestat quotes? im looking for new tattoo ideas thankssssss
Oooh! That’s a cool idea… Fandom, let’s gather some ridiculous Lestat quotes for a tatt on this post. Mention the book it came from, too, if you can.
Here’s some I grabbed from IWTV, they’re not all ridiculous but they might work as a tatt, anyways. They all sound like canon to me, but check a legit copy of the book bc these are from an unreliable PDF.
Ridiculous Lestat quotes from IWTV:

I’ll play the drum if I like!
- Stop looking at my buttons,
- Don’t fall
so madly in love with the night that you lose your way! -
You’re dying, that’s all; don’t be a fool.
-
You’ll have to bed down with me this morning. I
haven’t prepared you a coffin. -
If I want to sleep all day
and drink all night, I’ll do it, damn you! - Now, I’m getting into the coffin, and you will get in on top of me if you
know what’s good for you. - The hell I won’t!
-
He’s dead, you idiot!
-
Don’t be such a damned idiot. Haven’t you ever seen a rat?

- Rats can be quite nice
- [Re: a shattered crystal glass that he shattered] You don’t mind, do you? I surely hope you
don’t, because there’s nothing much you can do about it if you do
mind. - I’d like to meet the devil some night, I’d chase him from here to the wilds of the Pacific. I
am the devil. -
I ought to drive your horse
into the swamps. You’d have to dig yourself a hole and smother! -
You whining coward of a vampire who prowls the night killing alley
cats and rats and staring for hours at candles as if they were people and standing in the rain like a zombie until your clothes are drenched and you smell like old wardrobe trunks in attics and have the look of a
baffled idiot at the zoo. (<— This is probably too long but a piece of it might work, like “Staring at nature like a baffled idiot at the zoo” which is my tag for cool nature-related stuff, and some ppl have even adopted it from me.) - You’re being morbid! It’s almost dawn.
- I
can give you death more easily than I gave you life! - Did I kill him or did I not kill
him! What’s your guess?
