Isaiah 1:15-18 (32364 words) by @fofoqueirah

Rating: Explicit Relationships: Armand/Lestat de Lioncourt/Marius de Romanus, Armand/Lestat de Lioncourt, Armand/Marius de Romanus, Lestat de Lioncourt/Marius de Romanus Summary: Suddenly, I hate his jealousy. I hate it! He is one of God's angelic cherubs when he smiles at me, but his eyes hold fury because I am in his Maker's arms. Wasn't Marius at the centre of our early conflict? Wasn't his longing for Marius why he spared me long enough for me to break his world, then shatter his heart when Marius came for me and not for him?

I am not ready to discuss the many thorns in our relationship. I dread bringing up Nicolas, his coven or Claudia. I can't; I am not ready myself. But I can debate Marius, and we could at least fix that grief.

Is there a way to kill what poison seeps from his heart when he thinks of me and Marius?

Would mending their relationship impact ours?

a.k.a. the one in which Lestat's attempts to fix his and Armand's ongoing resentment, ends up fixing Armand and Marius' convoluted relationship, mending his relationship with both while he's at it.

OKAY LISTEN - this is the Marius/Armand/Lestat fic I've been waiting for my whole life. The drama! The BAGGAGE!! The Daddy Issues™️!!! There's other characters and relationships woven in even though the trio is the focus and Fofo just juggles it all so well, I'm so excited for the other 14 CHAPTERS TO COME. 🥹

Lestat's Son (1673 words) @calipsan

Rating: Mature Relationships: Lestat de Lioncourt/Original Female Character(s) Summary: Giselle is a married woman living in the village near Chateau de Lioncourt. She finally gets the courage to ask a young mortal Lestat to her bed. The story is from her POV, but it is mainly an exploration of what Lestat might have been getting up to with the ladies of the village.

Honestly, the idea of Lestat having human descendants HAUNTS me and I'm so excited to see a fic finally tackling that big fat "What If?" in Lestat's mortal life!!! I love having it from a woman's POV too, something we definitely don't see a lot of in VC fic! 🙏🏼

Touched and laughing, father and daughter (201 words) by @butchybats

Rating: General Audiences Relationships: Claudia & Lestat de Lioncourt Summary: Louis is interrupted while reading and goes to find Lestat playing with Claudia.

What if I cried though, what then? Such a perfect little slice of Rue Royale era fluff, ft. Lestat being a better dad to Claudia than his dad ever was to him!!!! 🤧🤧🤧
