Louis sent a mental image of exactly what he had in mind and immediately Lestat’s eyes lit up and he shuffled forward until he was leaning against the window, positioned exactly how Louis wanted him.

as he shrugs and says "that's the way it is..." before slurring his words as he struggles to read the autocue ...

how they can bear to listen to him I have no idea ... bone spurs anyone?

I know it's sad, I've been there and it's awful ... but one thing that will help you through this is knowing that you'll be acting from kindness to spare her suffering... easing her gently from pain she can't tell you about. Give her cuddles and kisses so she know how much she's loved ... β€οΈπŸ«‚

Before AO3, fanficnet, LiveJournal or Dreamwidth (read and posted fanfic on all), I started off reading and writing on Story Boards, message boards set up by individuals or groups using voy forums. Many of these were private.
First fanfic - Star Trek zines (20s) and online La Femme Nikita (30)

I skim read it this morning to remind myself - it is beautiful.

With you in wishing older fics and less well known writers got appreciated a bit more. Sadly there are people who search for fics on AO3 by kudos or number of hits and miss out on a lot of wonderful stories.

This is a beautiful and quite unique story - I loved it when I first read it and seeing @suikamelon6.bsky.social rec it reminds me that I really should read it again.

I'm struggling a bit too... soft Lestat swaying as he walks, inviting Louis to come and choose art for his guest room (is that what they're calling it these days?) and strolling around in that form fitting long black coat ... Louis grinning like an idiot at his love...it's hard to think afterwards..

On the left - Armand and Lestat looking towards Louis in the centre... they're smiling slightly and Louis is looking in control and composed. These images are all in colour. On the righthand side, are pictures on sepia, depicting scenes from Dale's abduction by Louis at the top, Louis biting Daniel's neck in the middle and Armand talking to Daniel at the bottom. These three images show scenes that happened in the past - instigated by Louis. Louis is now attempting to explain it all without any reference to him, Lestat or Armand being vampires.

Time for explanations and offers. Will the vampires keep their fangs hidden? Will the humans buy the stories they're told?

7 eps for S1 was incredible - not a wasted second in any episode
quality wins out over quantity and we know we're getting quality ...
I can rewatch eps from S1 and S2 again and again, as they're so crammed with details it's impossible to appreciate it all from one viewing.

β€œJeez, guys, ya think we’re being wined and dined?”
β€œIf there’s anyone being wooed, it’s you, Daniel,” mumbled Dale. β€œWe’re spoken for.”
β€œAre our hosts not joining us? Or are they out draining virgins of blood?”

β€œGood boy,” said Louis, a wicked glint in his eye. β€œLet me see.”
Obediently, Lestat bent his legs at the knee and let them fall apart.
Louis licked his lips. β€œNow take a pillow and shove it under your ass.”

With the cringy voiceover spoken by Malinin? I'm with you. I watched it to see what happened. He just fell apart, jumping singles & doubles instead of triples & quads. Wasn't just the ice - pressure and hype can do that to even the best athletes. Shame as I like to watch an exciting figure skater.

Thanks for the update. I miss the days of hearing the latest exploits of Larry, Palmy & Gladstone, all patrolling their different territories.
Sorry to hear about Diplomog, but glad he found peace in Bermuda after finding his duties at the Foreign Office and his feud with Larry quite stressful!

thinking back to promo for S2, it was focused on the TdV in Paris ... with little on the history of Lestat, or what happened in 1973 between Armand and Daniel... a lot of that was revealed as the show was aired, which is so much better

Marius is at the very least bisexual and possibly pan ... Pandora, Bianca... like Lestat he is 'non-discriminating', as were many ancient Romans ...

Will there be videos to come as well? When the other singles drop?

There's another Friday 13th coming up! Maybe then? As a treat to all of beautiful unwell? We're very, very, very thirsty ...
