#armand/lestat/louis/daniel

okay we’re gonna combine some prompts here so stick with me. dom!louis showing off his well trained pets, puppy!lestat and kitten!armand, to daniel. he loves showing off how nicely they can play together 😌 and he loves making daniel watch, but not touch

PLEASE THAT’S SO WHOLESOME 🤧

I can’t decide if this works best as a basic human AU or as a world where Armand and Lestat are more like shapeshifters (think catboy AU). That way they can growl, hiss, snarl and go into heat cycles. 🫢

Either way, Louis is meticulous in his care. Lestat loves a degradation scene whereas Armand craves praise (he’s such a good kitty 🤧). Maybe Daniel becomes Louis’s protégé and learns how to discipline and reward them (crate, spanking, treats, etc). Baby dom Daniel era! He finally gets to touch when he completes his training.

But who’s he touching first—greedy brat Lestat or formerly feral Armand? 🥹

My favourite underrated thing about Louis de Point du Lac is that he truly is the least curious vampire to ever be made and he does not give fuck about vampires despite being one.

Its Claudia who goes to libraries, reads the folklore, tries to learn as much as she can and pushes Lestat for answers about who made him and where the others are. Claudia says Vampire Pride and Louis says hmmm Vampire Tolerance.

And Louis...truly does not care about vampire history,law, culture. He's never even thought to ask. There are vampire laws?...ok...Lestat never cared about them and he's not going to either, lol. He's broken a few and he will continue to do so. Oh you have a coven? he's not gonna join it, he's gonna do his own thing. but good for you good for you.

the 500+ year old Coven Leader, he's gonna call Louis, Maitre, actually.

He has fire powers? thats kinda cool. he'll learn that but only cause it lets him vent his feelings about Lestat.

Lestat and Armand say the name of the vampire queen in front of him and Lestat straight up says, "Louis has no idea who that is" and do you think Louis cares, outside of the fact that for some reason it means he can't kill Lestat? No! Do you think in the 77 years he's been with Armand he ever took 5 minutes to ask a follow up question? No!

Do you think he will care about Akasha in season 3? Doubt it! Outside of her obsession with Lestat, who is the only person left on the planet he seems to be able to filter Caring About This Shit through

He blatantly breaks the 3rd law and publishes a book about being a vampire and when the other vampires get pissed not only does he not apologise he literally sends them his location and says 'you wanna fight? lmao don't miss'

I love him. Daniel Molloy is gonna need to bring his A game because Louis will not be solving a single mystery next season, nor would it even occur to him to try.

Who is the most affectionate in the Vampire Polycule of Lestat, Louis, Armand, and Daniel, and how do they express their affections?

Affectionate is a layered word, my friend. I feel like a lot of people (including myself) think of physical affection when we see the word 'affectionate.'

On the superficial level, I see Daniel as being the most forthcoming with his physical affections. He's the only one of the four that's never shown as being an emotionally constipated mess. I don't see him second-guessing wrapping an arm around Armand's waist and bending him back for a movie-star style kiss or slinging an arm around Lestat's neck and kissing his temple in greeting or even getting overexcited and squeezing Louis's knee mid-story. He doesn't overthink his impulses and he's very much a free giver (lover).

Lestat is absolutely always the most golden retriever boyfriend, but with him I see his insecurities as running a lot deeper. In the polycule setup, he wishes he could be as open and free as Daniel. Like we know Lestat loves a lot and easily (and I love him for it, I love that he's a slut with his blood and his heart), but how often does he do it openly when the stakes are high? How many times does he say 'I wanted to tell him I loved him' in reference to Armand and Louis? How hard has it been for him to get to that point with them? So I see Lestat as being perhaps the clingiest, the neediest — not the most affectionate. It's hard for him to get there. He would love to express himself more physically and verbally, but it's easier for him to communicate through expensive gifts and grand gestures.

Armand is similar to Louis in that they both lean into their caregiver tendencies for those they love. It's also harm reduction (in Lestat's case). Armand's similar to Lestat in that his ultimate expression of love is being a provider, making a home, giving his loved ones a place to nest and heaping material goods on them because they both know what's it like to have been deprived.

Like a cat, Louis expresses his affection by gracing you with his presence. I mean it, it's a big deal when he wants to curl up besides someone to read silently for the duration of the night! I would say he's the least physically affectionate of the group unless it's in the privacy of the bedroom or he simply has to play up his role as consort once in a blue moon. I would also give him words of affirmation, he's the one who knows exactly the right thing to say at the worst time (and also the worst thing to say at the right time).
