“I have thick blond hair, not quite shoulder length, and rather curly, which appears white under fluorescent light. My eyes are gray, but they absorb the colors blue or violet easily from surfaces around them. And I have a fairly short narrow nose, and a mouth that is well shaped but just a little too big for my face. It can look very mean, or extremely generous, my mouth. It always looks sensual. But emotions and attitudes are always reflected in my entire expression. I have a continuously animated face.”
—The Vampire Lestat (1985).
In San Francisco, Louis seeks comfort in one of few things a vampire should not: the sun. Thousands of miles away, Lestat—plagued by the ghostly reminders of his failures as a maker, a father, and a partner—is interrupted by the voice of Armand with grave news of his ex-lover. Watching Louis walk away in Paris upended his life and has haunted him for two decades. This time, he knows that if he remains idle once more, he will not get another chance. A canon-divergent reimagining of September 8th, 1973 and the days that follow.

He was my murderer, my mentor, my lover, and my maker.
“I think they need some time apart now. But I think that they’re definitely sticking nearby each other. Yeah. I guess it is a bit like that,” Reid said. “Yeah, I mean, part of the joy is that if you live forever, you want to have that relationship with the person who can burn your entire life to the ground. You want to have that person who can literally give you a fresh start every time and can make you feel such extreme feelings.”
“You kind of want to be living at the extremes. You are a monster and you kill to live, and you live forever.”
Anderson, once again, agreed. “Whether it’s, like, platonic for a bit or romantic forever, you know, their relationship is always kind of slightly indescribable and also very describable. It’s love and hate wrapped up in one.”
“So yeah, I’m sure, Lestat and Louis just are like, until one of them perishes, they’re destined to dance forever, I think.” [x]
