Summary
“Lestat? Are you all right, buddy? Can you hear me?”
Lestat does not respond, does not move, does not breathe. The echo of his heart, though present, seems more distant than it has ever been.
It is terrifying, deplorable, sickening in a way that brings blood and bile to Louis's mouth. Lestat sits motionless in that armchair, his hands clenched on the armrests. His lips are wide open, glistening with saliva that he makes no effort to swallow. His eyes are open.
That's the worst part. He wants to turn away, he wants not to look at them, he wants to avoid seeing them altogether, yet he forces himself to take a step forward.
“Les, baby?” he whispers uncertainly, as the sour taste he holds under his tongue plagues his every thought.
That look is so different from what he knows, from what he loves, from what he remembers. It is dark, dark as if the pupil had enlarged to eat away everything. It is distant, absent, motionless.OR
Lestat falls into a deep dissociative state as he tells Daniel about his making. Louis doesn't know how to bring him back.
If only there were a way to get inside his mind..Series

Summary
The night stretches outside, and Lestat starts tracing lines against Louis’ thigh. It’s tender at first, only a faint touch. He watches— eyes intent on Louis’ face, looking for his reaction. Then he cups him on top of his pants.
Louis stops him with a gentle hand on his wrist.
“Not tonight,” he breathes. “Soon. But not tonight.”
Lestat eyes him with confusion. “Why?”
Louis answers with a knowing look and a sweet kiss. Their lips meet so softly, so gently, it almost makes Louis cry.
“Because you don’t need to please me to be loved,” he finally says against Lestat’s mouth, heart on his throat. Lestat freezes. “Let me hold you.”

Summary
"I didn't know," he murmured, hand coming up to the old-fashioned tie at the neck of my linen shirt and pulling it loose, "that it could be like this."
I swallowed hard, and tilted my head away from him, baring my neck. I could feel the pulse of my preternatural heart through my veins, each beat sounding the word: yes, yes, yes.

Summary
Lestat waits for Louis to continue, and when he hears nothing more, realisation starts to hit.
He looks at Louis’ feet, the back of his ankles pressed against Lestat’s thigh, and places his hand on Louis’ leg, runs it down until it wraps around Louis’ ankle, gently pressing over the flesh, the pads of his fingers stroking the skin.
“Louis,” Lestat says, quietly. “You still have them.”
Or: Louis and Lestat talk about the rocks.

Summary
“Do you ever wonder why we always come back to each other?”
Lestat slowly opens his eyes, blinking a few times as his brain tries to catch up with the question. He looks over at Louis, who seems to be deep in thought, eyes set on a painting hanging on the wall opposite them, but not really looking at it, his mind clearly elsewhere.
“Is it just the vampire bond?” Louis asks, tearing his eyes from the painting to focus on Lestat instead. His voice softens just a touch. “Or do we have something deeper than that?”
Or: Louis and Lestat discuss their relationship and how it differs from the typical maker/fledgling bond.

Summary
She frowned. “Mother always tells me that I’m not ladylike at all.”
“And what do I always tell you?”
“That being ladylike is for vapid women who lack ambition,” she parroted.
“Exactly,” Father said. Lyra grinned, and Pantalaimon became a coral snake on her shoulder, his belly an electric blue and his head a fiery orange, like the tip of a match. “And while your mother may pretend well,” Father continued, the corner of his lip quirking up, “don’t forget that she’s no lady either.” He turned back to his book. “Now run along.”
(The world in which Marisa and Asriel choose each other in the wake of the murder, take Lyra, and run.)

Summary
The Master swallowed. “Lyra’s mother is here.”
Asriel’s eyes widened, anger spreading across his face like thick, black petroleum polluting a lake. “What?” he said, leaning forward and banging his fist against the dark mahogany of the desk. “I ordered you to keep that woman away from Lyra. I expressly forbade it. How dare you let her come here?”
“She was very upset, Asriel,” the Master said, his expression pained.
“Oh, I’m sure she was,” he snapped. Stelmaria had stood at the news: now her tail was erect, her ears pricked up, her eyes bright and wild and sparkling.
(When Lyra is six years old, Marisa sneaks a visit with her at Jordan. Asriel catches her in the act.)

Summary
“This is ridiculous,” she muttered. “A spattering of rain and the city shuts down. There must be at least one pilot bold enough to fly in this weather, and I’ll just have to find him – ” Then she broke off with a gasp, doubling over, one hand reaching out for something solid to grab. The only thing close enough was Asriel, and he lurched forwards, supporting her forearm with one hand and placing the other on her shoulder as she shuddered.
His mouth went dry. “Marisa…”
She was breathing heavily. “I’m quite alright,” she forced out. “A twinge, that’s all, no cause for concern. It’s been happening all day, you know, and it always passes after a minute or two…” She tailed off then, her hand coming to cover her mouth as she craned her neck up and met his wide eyes.
“Oh,” she said, glancing back at her stomach. “Oh. Oh dear.”
(With Marisa and Asriel sheltering in place due to a thunderstorm, Lyra decides to make her grand entrance into the world.)

Summary
Marisa, and then Asriel, gets drunk. Two-shot.
Chapter 1: Marisa, in the early days of their affair, rated E.
“Hello, my darling,” Marisa said, between kisses, a smile on her face, seemingly oblivious to his irritation. She tasted bitter and smoky, the thick, fragrant tang of spirits, and when she raised her hand to clasp his cheek she did so with a ferocious intensity; it felt more like a slap than a caress. He winced.
Chapter 2: Asriel, a year or so after the Great Flood, rated M.
He grabbed one of the pictures from the mantlepiece, a wedding photogram, Marisa resplendent in pure white satin and Edward overjoyed beside her, dapper in his morning suit, and hurled it at the hearth. The glass shattered with a terrible crack.
“Asriel!” she gasped.

“We should have died,” she cried. “We should have fallen into the abyss and been obliterated.”
The golden monkey stroked her tangled, coarse hair with his little black hand. “It’s not much further now. And then we can sleep, and then – ”
“And then?” she said. “And then we shall wake in this strange new world, our only company a dying, drooling, useless man, who may never be well again – ” She gasped and pressed her hand over her mouth, the tears glinting on her face in the moonlight, as if her cheeks were decorated with silver charms.
(Marisa and Asriel kill Metatron, avoid the abyss and escape into another world.)

Summary
The two people appeared from behind the small building, scarves wrapped around their faces to ward off the cold, and Lyra beamed at them, keen to make a good impression on her new colleagues. She was about to take a step towards the pair when their dæmons appeared behind them, and Lyra’s mouth could do nothing but fall open, her heart starting to rattle in her chest as her gaze swept over a snow leopard and a golden monkey.
She blinked a few times, her breaths becoming harsh rasps, but each close of her eyes only served to bring them closer to her, until she could see each black spot that dotted the snow leopard’s silver coat. “No,” she breathed, and Pan was as frozen in shock as she was. “No, no, no. It can’t be – it can’t – ”
(Five years after the end of The Amber Spyglass, Lyra receives a mysterious summons to the North.)
