ic-ar-us:

I took him in my arms, oh, so cold, so unyielding, this monster which I had made out of human flesh. I pressed my lips against his cheek, shuddering as I did so, my fingers sliding around his neck.

He didn’t move away from me. He couldn’t bring himself to do it. I felt the slow silent heave of his chest against mine.

“Do it to me, please, beautiful one,” I whispered in his ear. “Take this heat into your veins, and give me back all the power that I once gave to you.” I pressed my lips to his cold, colorless mouth. “Give me the future, Louis. Give me eternity. Take me off this cross.”

This is really one of the best, and most heartwrenching moments in the entire VC, and it hurts to much, every time I read it. And what’s so especially chilling about it is the role reversal! There’s an echo of Daniel in Lestat’s plea for help here. Louis is the one with ALL the supernatural power.
