Christmas Song on Archive of Our Own

Louis and his experiences with one particular Christmas song throughout the years. Of course there’s also a bit of Lestat in there, because what would we do without him?

Inspired by one of @merciful-death’s great headcanons and originally written as a Secret Santa gift to her. @i-want-my-iwtv helped with feedback and improvements.

As I wrote to @darknessmolten:

“First of all how dare you. I love it! …Very well done. I’m glad you took on the challenge of hitting all of her prompts, and it’s clear a lot of thought and care went into this.”

Some of my actual notes while beta’ing this lovely piece, in the order that the notes appeared:

  • (<– Niiiice)
  • (oooooh I liiiike that)
  • 😀
  • (I love this paragraph ok? Like damn.)
  • (omg)
  • 😀
  • (my heart! ;A;)
  • (Hah! Great line)

Hi Auntie Jilli! I’m a TA for a Vampire Literature class at my college, and since finals are almost here, I wanted to make the kids a playlist of music about vampires to listen to while writing their papers. I’ve wracked my brain and only been able to come up with a scant few, though–do you have any recommendations? Things that your average grown-up-2007-emo-scene-queen might not know?

Louis, the watcher, the patient one, was there on account of love pure and simple. The two had found each other only last night, and theirs had been an extraordinary reunion. Louis would go where Lestat led him. Louis would perish if Lestat perished
