On the back of the excellent swap fic where Armand was the mortal and Daniel the vampire (forgot who wrote it, sorry!!) do you have any AU fic recommendations??

Leave a comment

I think the excellent swap fic where Armand was the mortal and Daniel the vampire (I’m using your words bc I haven’t had a chance to read it!! BUT I WILLLL) was @monstersinthecosmos‘ “quinque plus unum,” a gift for @sheepskeleton as part of the @vcsecretgifts exchange ❤

[X @uma: when you find a really good alternative universe fanfiction]

BTW quinque plus unum inspired fanart! #i love it when fanworks inspire other fanworks ❤  

OK SO, /OTHER/ VC AUs

(TBH I am not current with AO3, so this is a tragically short list, anyone is welcome to reblog/comment with more suggestions, preferably from AO3 bc that site protects its ficwriters. FF.net and Wattpad suggestions are also welcome.)

  • Signature Blend – Of course I have to start the list off with the collab I did with Rebness/@wicked-felina, Coffeeshop AU. Slow-burn longfic ;D 

    The Last Drop is technically a few scenes that didn’t fit into the main story, but could be read on their own as stand-alone AU if you’re looking for smtg shorter.

  • The Grim Brothers by Rebness/@wicked-felina​ – incomplete but it’s a fun little werewolf AU! I hope the author picks it up again someday *NUDGES*
  • @superhiki recently did a short fic fill for a prostitute/client au prompt, Louis/Armand, I hope there’s more to come on that *NUDGES*
  • Interview with the Frat Boy the_corinthian – This is a WILD ride, a college AU. It’s silly and unashamed about it’s silliness. A few of its tags say it all: #No Homo #Yes homo #Heavy Drinking #Drunk!Louis #General douchebaggery #several different and uniquely poor kinds of childcare

  • Interview with a Cannibal or Appointment with a Vampire by (?) – was a Hannibal/VC crossover, so not really an AU, but I can’t find it to link you. Might have been taken down ;A; REMEMBER TO DOWNLOAD AND SAVE FANWORKS U LIKE!!

  • 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.”

  • To Die as Lovers May by @goth-mabel inspired this fanart by @13bels, and I haven’t read this series of cis-swapped fics, but @13bels describes it: “very thoughtfully written, drama-filled as our vampires are known to be, and an engaging read, if it’s your cup of tea! Although, it does contain triggering content, so please proceed with caution and read the tags if you haven’t read it and would like to. I enjoyed it especially! I love seeing this trope be experimented with <3″

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:

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.

Anyone is welcome to reblog/comment with recs.

do you know of any good VC mafia fics out there? thanks

I don’t know any mafia-specific VC fics out there… 😛

The only fic that comes to mind is 

The Hostile Takeover by StellaMachiavelli (@stellamachiavelliici​):

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.

…but I don’t remember if it’s mafia-related or all legal business.
