Summary
When he returned to the hotel, dawn was bleeding into the sky. The windows glowed faintly. He opened the balcony doors and stepped out.
The first rays touched the floorboards, shy but steady.
He didn’t scream.
Magnus had leapt into his own hell, laughing. Nikki had danced into his, singing. Claudia had looked into his eyes with defiance. And Lestat – Lestat had fallen into his, a hollow man adrift, burning like a curse he could never lift.
5 times Lestat sees burns as self-punishment. Fire, pain and the compulsion to hurt. One time Louis is there to help.

Summary
He knows what Daniel is about to say before he begins.
“Yeah, hey listen. I got some fact checking to do—”
“I’ve told you, Daniel. I’ve given my story. He can give his. I declined to participate in this documentary—”
“I watched you feed on Armand in Dubai, right? I’m not making that up?”
Louis’s hands pause. That wasn’t what he was expecting at all.
Or
For 114 years, Louis had an aversion to drinking Lestat's blood, but not for the reason Lestat thinks. Daniel reaches out to Louis for a fact check.

Summary
There’s a panic within him that Lestat hasn’t felt for years when the sunlight streams in a perfect circle containing Claudia and Louis’s fledgling, a panic he hasn’t felt since the night he felt tainted blood rise to his throat and the love of his life drag a knife across it. It’s the panic of an ending unexpected, of a rug yanked from beneath him. He made his choice. He chose Louis. He knew if it came down to using his abilities to sway the audience, he only had the power for one. It wasn’t even something he had to think about. It was Louis. It was always going to be Louis.
But it’s Claudia before him now, looking back at him with a daughter’s eyes even as her face begins to crumble into ash.

this is the unholy family fix-it fic of my dreams <3 the honest communication. everyone's hurts being validated. all the loustat/louclaudia/lesclaudia/claudeleine feels. ughh this is just so good and absolutely joining the plethora of iwtv fanfic in my bookmarks -- most of which i'm pretty sure came from you lol!! this is amazing.

Summary
“I do love you, Louis. I know I haven’t said it in a long time, but I do.” He missed when she called him Daddy Lou. There were times when he longed for it, wanted it more than anything in the world. And yet, despite this, a sense of unease crept up his spine at those words. It would seem wrong, he thought, unnatural, even dirty to be called that now. Like those words were only reserved for New Orleans, for who Claudia had been back then, who he had been.
or, Louis and Claudia in Paris, and the gaping void between them.

oh this hurts so good. you capture the pain of claudia's & louis' slow separation so beautifully. you understand both of these characters and their love & resentment of each other in a way that is so impressive.
this entire paragraph punched me in the chest -->"Was he still Daddy Lou? Perhaps. He could never truly part with that - being a parent wasn’t something that just left you, no matter how much your kid has grown or changed or distanced themselves. But then again, he wasn’t exactly Daddy Lou either. Not in the ways it mattered. And maybe he hadn’t been for a long time, longer than he wanted to think about. He didn’t know if Claudia missed what they had once. What they had been to each other. He liked to think so, but was too afraid to ask, suspicion crawling somewhere deep inside his belly."
