loustat fanfic recs

Adding to this list as of 2/5/25. Additions will be in green.

Just wanted to make a list of some of my favorite loustat fanfics so far. I'll definitely be adding onto this list as I continue to read more.

Anything by cherhorowitz8. This person's writing style is so amazing and every single fic that has been written has had me hooked. I recommend checking out their page, but a few of my personal favs are:

Also, honorable mention to meet me at the barre by dancermk. I'm not sure what happened, but I no longer see this fic anymore and it was one of my absolute favorites.

All these fics are absolutely amazing and beautifully written in my opinion. There are more that I plan to add that I wasn't able to get around too just yet, and again as I read more I will add as well.

[pynkhues]

I've loved that scene with the twins, i'm glad i'm not the only one who felt some sexual tension between the brothers and Lestat lol. I don't know if it was because Lestat was really hungry and just wanted to eat them or was actually attracted to them but there was a vibe- and they totally were into him too lol. (Someone needs to write a fic when Louis changes his mind and instead they have foursome with good Matthew and Mark hahaha).

But yeah, i agree we can't rely on the books wrt the types of relationship they will have. Book Lestat definitely was not "a monogamist at heart" as Sam called him. One of his more endearning traits was his ability to love so intensely and falling in love with everyone and everything. The fact that he loved David and Armand didn't take anything from his love for Louis. I think he genuinely loved them just as much-even if in a different way. Imo, all the book vampires are capable of the true polyamory in a way that very few humans are capable of practicing. Adding a sexual element change a lot about these characters and their dynamics.

I think the show vampires are way more human than the book ones: they can eat, smoke and have sex so it makes sense that they'd be less forgiving and more prone to jealousy. I admit that i'm a little disappointed that the show seems to downplay every other relationship to prop up loustat (they did it with loumand and i'm sure it'll be the same with lesmand and nickstat) but Rolin wanted to base the whole show on the gothic romance between two vampires and it is what it is. So yeah, I don't expect Lestat to have any other love interests besides Louis. I also don't think Louis will stay single for as long as everyone think haha.

(x)

Oh, I think he was definitely attracted to them, and I think the show was also kind of using it as a bit of a tease / set-up to the future incest of the show too - same with Armand's threesome with the father-and-son within the coven. It's just a neat little detail to wink to where we're going. I also think the Mardi Gras Ball was always planned as a night of all out depravity to farewell New Orleans, so leaning into the sexuality / carnality of feeding ahead of - - y'know - - all the murders, haha, makes sense to me.

And yeah, I agree about the books having more of a genuine sense of polyamory to them, and other relationships being downplayed (although I think Nicki might not be, if for no other reason than the fact that he's dead and marks no threat to Lestat and Louis' love story). It's an interesting thing in a lot of ways, because so much of the Rue Royale era in the books is Louis still being so close to his human life and Lestat trying to live one on Marius' instruction after never really having gotten to live one in his mortality. It lends itself to a more quote-unquote 'traditional' romance and family unit with Claudia, even if that family wasn't actually traditional at all between Louis and Lestat both being men, and then the incest between Louis and Claudia. It kind of goes back to the perversion of the family unit as a vital part of both gothic horror and the Milton's Satan character archetype that I've talked about before.

In that sense though, the books move further and further away from 'traditional' romance and relationships as the characters are moved further and further away from their humanity. They transcend a human existence, and a need for human ideologies, and honestly, I just don't think that's a thread that Rolin and the writers are super interested in, at least not in the way the books were? In fact, so far, I think what the writers seem to be most interested in is how you do find the human within the monster, and a lot of that seems to be about grounding them in relationships, not just to one another but to places and things. It's why Louis' return to New Orleans resonates so much, as well as his hanging of Paul's portrait and Claudia's dress - it's that reconnection to his own humanity and self that Louis denies himself in his isolation in Dubai.

It's a departure from the book in a lot of ways, and it's a tricky one because I think we gain as much as we lose as viewers? Like we are going to miss out on things like the polyamory and exploration of different romantic relationships, but I think we're also going to get an enriched exploration of who these characters are in this version of the story and as a result a really passionate, heightened gothic love story. Like God, look at the difference already between book Louis and the show's Louis, but yeah, I totally get being disappointed too - there's definitely parts of me that are, even though I'm overall pretty content with the changes if not outright happy. It's the nature, I think, of a good adaptation.

Rules: List the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern.

First sentences of the last 10 fics I've written, thanks for the summoning @saintstars! I took a 2 year hiatus from writing so I only have one IWTV FIC that I'm currently serially posting so the other 9 will be from my last fandom mostly(Supernatural). My A03 is Emblue_Sparks.

1- Reviens, Mon Coeur. Fandom: AMC IWTV. Ship: Loustat. 

“Lestat breathes in the stifling, humid air, then sips the refreshingly chilled water from his hydro flask.”

2- Romance in Death…Valley. Fandom: Supernatural. Ship: Destiel(Dean/Cas)

"No no no no no nooo!" Dean griped as Baby's dash blinked out and she began to lurch and limp down lonely Highway 95 when the turn off for 195 approached, "C'mon sweetheart, don't do this out here. Please!"

3-Hometown Pride(Walking Tall movie AU) Fandom: Supernatural/Walking Tall) Poly Ship: Destiny(Dean/Cas/Benny)

“Aberdeen! Five minutes!" The ferry captain announced, as if Dean needed a reminder his hometown that he hadn't seen in over eight years was the next stop.

4- Nestled in the Woods. Fandom: Supernatural. Ship: Destiel(Dean/Cas)

"You woke up naked where?" Cas demanded as he schlepped through the mud and muck of the graveyard where they'd just finished a run-of-the-mill salt & burn.

5-Plush Attendance. Fandom: Supernatural. Ship: Crowley & Mick Davies

“Just like the year so far, the day had brought unfortunate news for the faculty of Hastings College.”

6-Jack's Book of Stories. Fandom: Supernatural. Ship: General

"There was a time when I was alone

No where to go and no place to call home

My only friend was the man in the moon

And even sometimes he would go away too”

7- Nice Knockers. Fandom: Supernatural. Ship: Drowley(Dean/Crowley)

“It was a warm, summer night in Northumberland when Crowley left a rather rowdy bedmate in his room for a "trip" towards a lovely spot of countryside called Alnwick.”

8- A Golden Time. Fandom: Supernatural & Golden Girls(it's a crack fic!) Ship: General

“Man, I'm gonna need a few z's," Dean announced, tiredly carrying his bag across the garage from Baby.”

"The Onyx. I had no idea what to expect. The journal's landscape descriptions were vague. Kept dreaming of a world I never thought I'd see. Then one day.."

"You got in."

The new chapter of sucker punch is so good. I’ll be sad when it ends. 😭

Thank you so much. I was determined to write it and had a goal of 10k for word count which I was able to meet and then go over a bit. This fic has been so much fun to write! I love the aspect of a human universe. I remember talking about it and how something as simple as drinking a cup of coffee made Loustat exciting in a different way. A new way.

I love them in their canon forms. I love them as vampires. Vampire Loustat is my number one but it is also fun to have them human and not immortal and powerful. To have them human and going through what normal people do. To have worries. To have different goals than vampires would have.

The world I have built has been self indulgent and if others have enjoyed it I am both delighted and grateful to have had your support. Thinking about ending the fic is wild to me but also I would like for them to have the ending I have always had planned for them. The only change I have made is adding an extra chapter in to expand on the idea of Italy. The ending of it will still be what I wanted there’s just some different moments to add in right before we get to those final parts.

Sorry I decided to go on for so long. I’m just happy with Suckerpunch. And I’ve also learned how to make so many different lattes. It’s been very fun!

Trying to bring some positivity to your asks by asking about fics! You've mentioned writing some and I'm curious if you'd be willing to share anything about any of them. I've never read your work for other fandoms, but I saw some of them have a lot of views and kudos and comments and it makes me excited

Ah, thank you for the positivity! My inbox has not been this messy since I was in the throws of the SPN fandom lmao. Kind of forgot what it was like to have strangers scream at you for thoughts (though I have a lot of kindness in there too, don't mistake me, and I appreciate that we're all actually talking, it's important). But. Anyway!

YES. Fics. I have never written anything in Anne's world. One of my dearest friends (dollylux for my SPN folk) is, as some would know, an extremely dedicated and longterm fan of all things TVC and Anne. Like, I fully believe, in my heart, almost no one knows Anne better than she does. And she was scared to write in this world for so long, she didn't publish her first Loustat fic until 2018 so. I'm scared of them so so much.

But the show has given me more confidence in it! And I have. Quite a few ideas. One I need to keep fairly quiet because it will (probably) be my Big Bang, but the others -- I'll put them under the cut

So I will, predominantly, write AUs. That's just my thing, so keep that in mind (though I do have some show canon fics because ! so much we don't know).

Louis trying to get back at his homophobic family and he puts out an ad for a boyfriend for some family get together and, of course, Lestat answers :D chaos

Lestat not coming to New Orleans in 1910 and, instead, staying in Europe. But Louis comes to Paris in the 1920s, like the silent generation, and meets him there.

vampire-hunter!Louis x vampire!Lestat: Paul de Pointe du Lac has sworn he was being chased by a demon for months.  Louis, and the rest of the Pointe du Lacs, dismiss this given Paul’s track record with hearing things, seeing things, time in mental institutions, etc.  But when Louis walks in to a demon - a vampire - dropping Paul’s drained body to the floor, he sets out on a journey of vampire hunting in order to avenge his brother, one he feels immense guilt for as for never believing him.  It is on this journey that Louis will meet Lestat, a 200 year old vampire who is utterly enraptured by Louis.  And Louis, no matter how much he tries to not be, is equally enraptured. 

single-dad!louis au where louis, as the world's greatest dad (or trying to be), puts claudia in every sport/lesson/practice she ever wants or asks to be part of, but after an injury (broken arm in a volleyball game or sprained ankle playing soccer, etc.) so to combat his worrying-dad-anxiety he goes on to something new: music. cut to claudia being enrolled in piano lessons or violin lessons and when she shows great promise, her teacher approaches louis about a more. detail-oriented tutor. enter lestat. Alternatively: one of her friend's parents is putting said-friend in a local community theater production and claudia wants to do it too and becomes a local little star and is encouraged to do some kind of private summer theater camp or something. also enter lestat.

Loustat human au where louis is dating viktor de lioncourt. When he goes to meet viktor’s family at the chateau in France, he ends up meeting and falling for, instead, viktor’s father.

There are a few others, but namely there is one that I'm working on right now and I hope to start posting in the next couple of weeks so I'm going to hold off on talking about it.
