If I was a marketing exec at AMC I would already be planning a 'one night only concert with the Vampire Lestat' in New Orleans (prob. during the annual Vampire's Ball) and have Sam Reid absolutely bring the house down vamping it up and then put that shit up on social media and break the entire internet...

The fic: Lestat lands the Superbowl halftime show gig

November, 2024: Death Valley

Louis sprays his mouthful of blood halfway across the dinnertable when he sees the headline on his tablet:

"Lestat de Lioncourt, self-professed 'vampire', vows to 'eat one lucky fan' at his upcoming Death Valley concert."

Louis isn't able to get tickets, as they're all sold out.

He pays a scalper an exorbitant fee (like, $9,000 for a $900 ticket) and a meet and greet pass.

He attends the concert and is annoyed, amused, astounded, impressed, and completely not surprised by how ostentatious Lestat is in his performing.

There's a fucking hurdy gurdy player in the band: It's Lestat. He incorporates it in one of the songs. It is friggin metal.

He plays the electric violin in another song.

The "lucky fan" who won the contest to get eaten comes up on stage and the entire crowd watches as Lestat drinks his blood.

Everybody but Louis thinks it's a mere performance, and they cheer.

Louis just smirks and shakes his head in wry amusement at the sheer audacity of it.

Hello, Mon Cher, Louis hears in his head.

Everybody but Louis thinks the fan is faking going limp, and then being dead. Two of the tour's crew come up and carry the body off stage.

Lestat doesn't bother wiping his blood-smeared mouth before he moves onto singing his next song: Pretty Baby. The whole time, he's staring at Louis.

Louis attends the meet and greet. He and Lestat entertain themselves by pretending they don't know one another and are just groupie and idol in front of all the other fans in line for the meet and greet.

Louis takes home a glossy headshot of The Vampire Lestat, signed: To my biggest fan and favorite Fledgling, Lestat D. L.

February, 2025: the New Orleans Superdome

Lestat beats out Taylor Swift for top Spotify artist of 2024. The Swifties begin a feud with The Fledglings (Lestat's fans).

Lestat books the 2025 Superbowl halftime show gig--which is going to be played at the New Orleans indoor Superdome.

Louis purchases himself an entire box for the Superbowl--to the tune of $300,000.

Lestat uses the cloud gift and the fire gift during the show. Everybody except for Louis--and the very confused stadium staff who definitely didn't rig up a lift wire for this performance--thinks it's just an act with really good special effects.

Late, after the game and after everyone has cleared out, Lois finds Lestat in the losing team's deserted locker room --eating the star quarterback.

"Mon Chere," Lestat says, pulling back with a red chin to smile at Louis. "Care to join me? There's enough for two."

Louis snickers and tells him no thank you. "That's Taylor Swift's boyfriend," he says, amused.

"I know," Lestat says gleefully, then goes back to feeding.

"Of all the things you could've done to bring the rage of the world down upon you." Louis drawls. "The Swifties aren't going to be very happy."

Feel free to use this fic imagine if you want! And tag me in the post if you write it--I'd love to read it!

“I’m piano & you’re forte..” 😂😅

I really appreciate that they lyric-Ed the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!

(Although The Sky & the centring lines remind me of The Drop! 😭😭😭😭😭🌊🪦💀🥀)

Rockstar Lestat in the IWTV series was made specifically for me.

the fact that the vampire lestat is glam instead of heavy metal was a decision made for me specifically. glam is my favorite genre of rock n roll. cause it's the gayest suptype. obviously. im soooooo hype.

the fact that we got lestat in blood, glitter, AND TWO MESH SHIRTS in that teaser was also a decision made for me specifically. the genvy is already unreal and i might literally explode

WIP- a ruff sketch idea for my head canons of satan’s night out.

On their way to practice before their show probably.

The many occupations of fic Lestat de Lioncourt

I thought when I posted The many occupations of fic Louis de Pointe du Lac that there really weren't enough non-rockstar ones to do a similar list for Lestat. But I was wrong! It turned out that he has nearly as many diverse talents in the various fic AUs as Louis!

Again, this is just a list off the top of my head of ones I’ve read and enjoyed, though please do tell me in the comments if I’ve missed any.

Ballet dancer in “Meet me at the barre” by @dancermk Porn Star in “Pretty Boy” by @the-blackstag Instrument importer in “you’re the one, designed for me” Mafia boss in “Saveur de La Maison” by @suikamelon6 CEO in “it’s like a suckerpunch straight to my heart” by @thefairylights Actor in “Practical Ethics” by @prouvaireafterdark Antiques dealer/importer in “good to love” by @brightfelon Coven master in “Under the blood moon” by @revolution-starter Model in “Let the Flesh Instruct the Mind” Priest in “It’s a Sin” Actor in “Wishful Desires” Museum curator in “Reformation” Construction worker in in “Analyst Retentive” by @calipsan

Rock star/musician in (deep breath)... “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same (modern loustat series)” by @thefairylights “Cord of Communion” by @brightfelon “Brooklyn Baby” “Music when the sun goes down” by @mythicaltzu “The Saint” by @revolution-starter “see-through” “The Splendour of Us” by @lesfleursrouges ...and a Music producer in “Your mouth and madness” by @brightfelon

Yes, there are tons and tons more featuring Rockstar Lestat which makes sense since it's canon, but I've left out all the incredible book-based fics that recount the SF pre-concert reunion, for example.

Apologies for inevitably missing off any authors here. Tell me if one's yours and I'll edit to add!

Can we talk about this?

The Vampire Lestat - Part 1 (Anne Rice Audiobook Unabridged)

This YouTube channel has a lot of the audiobooks I am currently 3 hrs into this. Its unabridged.

[spiders-hth-is-an-outlier]

Fictional Vampire Lestat de Lioncourt has entered the gladiatorial arena of mainstream pop stardom with market saturation that a PR team would kill for. His single is out. He's trending on the socials. He's beefing with the Swifties. In, and I cannot stress this enough, real life, where he does not exist. 10/10, no notes.

I feel like Lestat's band needs to incorporate the hurdy gurdy. Can somebody please start a petition we can send off to AMC?

Why the long face, my pretty baby? (Louis!)
