It's May! Don't forget to tag this blog so we can see and share your fic! Happy Microficing! We will put all fics in a queue so if we don't share right away, don't panic, but feel free to reach out if you think we've missed yours!

Microfic May Prompts 2025

Microfic May is back, babycakes!

This is a yearly fandom event to inspire short works of fiction in the month of May! The goal is to use these prompts to create short works aiming to be between 100 to 1000 words. (Though no one is going to be mad if you go a little over.)

You can post your work on Tumblr, AO3, anywhere you post fic. There will be a collection on AO3 as well if you wish to add your work there. Please tag @vcmicroficmay and use the hashtag #vcmicroficmay to help us find your work so we can share it, and feel free to message us if you think we missed your entry!

We also have a collection on AO3 you can add your work to!

This even opens May 1 (though technically Week 1 starts on May 4, we're not picky!) See our other post for event rules. Late entries allowed! And special thanks to @rebelrevenant for coming up with many of these delicious prompts!

Happy Writing!

i like to think that this was claudia both cursing lestat and just her being a scared daughter looking to her father for comfort while in agony in a room full of people who cheered on as she burned.

on one hand i think this is her passing her own judgment on him, forcing him to face the consequences of his actions, of what he put her through. i do think she believed his version in the end (if her questioning louis and then changing her wording to "even if it is true" is anything to go by) but of course she does not forgive him. she cant. his explainations arent an excuse. none of it justifies what he did to her specifically, and both of them know it. i think its also why lestat doesnt even try to apologize to her.

and on the other hand, at this point madeleine was already dead, louis had been taken away and no one in the coven had any love or sympathy for her. lestat was all she had left, and he was the one who made her. we keep being told over and over how strong the vampire bond is in regards to louis and lestat but lestat made claudia too. he's watching his own blood die and he feels it, and she knows it, and knows that bond, that shared pain is the last shred of love she will ever feel.

reading the vampire armand book is kind of like when you're hanging out with a friend of a friend who you find pretty interesting and then he opens his mouth to tell a story and you slowly realize that the story he's telling is like the most horrific, traumatic shit you can possibly imagine but he doesn't. seem to realize that what he's saying is traumatic and horrifying? he's still talking like it's all completely casual and he just keeps fucking talking and the story just keeps going and getting worse and you think it can't get any worse and it just gets so much worse and he's still behaving like he's talking about the weather and you're just so fucking stunned that he survived all of this that you're completely speechless and you just. you don't know how to tell him how fucked up it all is. you don't know how to tell him that this is the most fucked up shit you have ever heard in your entire fucking life despite his nonchalance. and then the book is over

i love every single version of him btw. smashes him over the head affectionately with a big rock <3

nice thing about devils minion is that Armand loves Daniel partly bcus he’s so much different then all the other men he’s been with + experienced, which u would assume based on the context of what Armand has gone through that this means that Daniel is not a creepy sex pervert unlike the bad men of Armand’s past and Armand likes him bcus he is so unusually respectful, but no actually. Daniel is in fact the creepy sex pervert king of pervert land and Armand loves him bcus out of all of the sex perverts he has known in his 500 years of living Daniel is the most entertaining about it. And rlly I think that’s beautiful. “Ur not like the other guys” but in the sense that your pervert kinks are way hotter then there’s and it’s rly fun for me. AMAZING stuff

armand stressing daniel out with his elaborate schemes and bullshit ideas is hilarious to me.

also armand steals shit a lot lmao. cars, boats, art, and the clothes of his victims. he's a little kleptomaniac lol

Me at the Daniel vampire reveal as if Eric Bogosian hasn't had to be tackled by his castmates into not spoiling it every interview:
