#it's just a shame in the books he got relegated to “lestat's emotional support animal” and got to do so little else

Armand/Louis

Oh man, I really like them in theory and yet my mind sees them as so...neutered into passivity? Somehow I've never been able to put the pieces together and make the jump from depressed, grieving iwtv Louis to passionate and loving figure Trinity Gate Armand adores. Not because I personally don't see it, but just because the books only ever show Louis thinking about Lestat and hardly ever him interacting with Armand.

Which (obvs) means I am ripe for convincing and will happily take all fic recs and meta dumps and feelings explosions. I love what they obviously are to each other but someone needs to show me content beyond "Louis quietly reading a book while Armand does whatever in the same room" so I can get fully on board.
