(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.)
– 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.
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″
@wicked-felina said: Louis is just under six ft (I guess he was wearing heels the day Daniel interviewers him lmao) but yes!! The point stands
He might have been, he was wearing a whole special outfit, knowing it could be described and included in the record of the interview. But I don’t think his height is specified in IWTV, I skimmed it, didn’t find that. Here’s a compilation of descriptions of Louis that @i-see-light-blog put together.
Lestat says in TVL:
I’m six feet tall, which was fairly impressive in the 1780s when I was a young mortal man.
But I don’t think we get Louis’ height (other than “tall”), until Armand’s description in TVA:
I can’t find it rn and so I can’t remember if it was an ask directly sent to me or just a post I reblogged… 😛 sorries… but someone had reported that they and their friend (significant other maybe?) were in a funeral parlor, owned by a relative I think, and were allowed to climb into a few coffins to test that question, and YES, two full-grown adults were able to fit comfortably in a standard-size coffin. Louis and Lestat are both 6 ft tall with Lestat being slightly taller, so yeah, that’s a lot of person when doubled. It was also unnaturally tall for that time period.
^IDK if the coffins in the movie were accurate to the time period, probably yes. That one looked plenty big enough for them to both get in and why didn’t they!!! but I didn’t see any cushions at all, that might have made the fit a little tighter.
Currently, ppl can have custom coffins made, it would be easy enough to order one of any size 😉
Louis de Pointe du Lac, already described above but always fun to envisage: slender, slightly less tall than Lestat,…
^Could be as little as an inch (US) or a few centimeters (non-US) difference *shrugs* I should have said that Lestat is 6 ft tall and Louis slightly less than that, that would have been more accurate.
While working out the VC gift exchange, @i-want-my-iwtv and I discussed ship names. Yeah, yeah, Loustat. But Armiel? Danand? D…Darius? Loumand? Do we have a consensus on VC ship names, guys? 🤔
From the VC Discord forever ago…
Yeah no, we don’t lol
I love this goddamn fandom
#This r serious discussion
But wow, I did not even consider the pronunciation issue re: Armaniel. “Arm-ayn-yul,” or “Arm-Ahn-yul”?!! So I’m more on the “Darmand” side, which follows more of a Bennifer or Brangelina logic.
Also I am throwing in my vote for Louis/Armand as “Loumand” bc Louis/Lestat is “Loustat.” Louis takes precedence! Did it used to mean something special about the ship when one’s name was first? anyways “Armouis” sounds like a very weird and distasteful kind of soup??
