Summary
The worst times are when he’s left alone to consider the future, interchangeable with the present: the light. The television. The body on the floor. The screams. And then the single point of divergence: his body on the floor too.

Summary
“That is very like Louis, I’m afraid,” the vampire continues, as though everything that’s happening to Daniel is not, in fact, happening.
“He’s withholding,” Daniel manages to get out.
Or, shortly after interviewing the vampire, Daniel encounters another.

If Louis knew anything, it was how to suffer time in the service of something greater.
or, Louis and Armand in Dubai.

Summary
“I think that’s enough questions for the night,” Armand said, folding his arms.
There was something brittle about his reflectiveness, Daniel thought. Louis was at a remove almost always, in a way Daniel had never questioned, but Armand seemed to lack the trick of it. Nerves a little closer to the surface, maybe. Or just a worse liar.

Summary
He’d spent a few brief years tending a night-blooming garden, and letting himself become still and patient enough to hear things grow. An endless stretching movement. Like curtains in a light breeze, but twice as sweet.
or, Louis considers the tree in Dubai.

The Vampire Chronicles: Vampirism Lore Guide for Writers & Related Essays by Anonymous
Fandoms: Vampire Chronicles Series - Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire (TV 2022)
10 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
Chapter 1: This is just a quick summary of how vampirism "functions" in the Vampire Chronicles books to help new writers in the IWTV '22 fandom. Obviously, the '22 version is distinct from the books, with many improvements, but if you would prefer to write fic that maps to the mechanics of the book series, this guide will give you the broad strokes (or, alternatively, answer some questions you might have!)
Chapter 2: This chapter is about Roman history and a few things that may not be initially obvious regarding characters who are from that period. That is to say, Marius was at one point a verna, a highly-specific category in Rome.
Chapter 3: This chapter is about the mysterious Bianca Solderini.

Summary
The third day in a row he sees expletives graffitied over an image of his own face—the post office bulletin board, this time, and there’s another errand Uncle Wayne won’t want him running anymore—Eddie waltzes into the Family Video and sprawls his whole torso across the counter. “I’ve decided I’m gonna live to a hundred,” he proclaims.
“Why?” Robin asks, at the same time Steve says “How?” and Eddie grins, showing all his teeth. He’s taken to checking his brakes haven’t been cut every time he starts the van.
“Pure spite, baby. They wanna kill me, they’ve gotta get through me first.”

Summary
“Can you be at the airport in like, eight hours?” Eddie asks, apropos of nothing.
Richie breathes out a short laugh. “Um, what?”
“The airport, idiot, can you be there? I mean, I could, like, Uber to your apartment…house? Do you live in an apartment or a house? Fuck, why haven’t we talked about this before now, I don’t know anything about LA… Anyways, yeah, eight hours, can you do it?” Eddie is rambling, and Richie would be comforted by the familiarity if he had any idea what the fuck was going on.
OR: Eddie comes to LA, and Richie is in love with him.
