Friday Fic Recs
Happy Friday! Here are just a few fics I read recently that I think you should check out!
📚 Vivaldi: Winter. by @sunshinerambling
Armand/Daniel, post-TVA. This fic makes me want to chew on paper, it's so good. It's Daniel confronting Armand about his book and some of the things he said (and did!), and I can never get enough of this kind of fic that's filling in the gaps from canon. It's a scene we deserved and I love how it's written here! Highly recommend this to all Devil's Minion fans!
🌲 A Presence in the Woods by @calipsan
Lestat/Nicki, Prince Lestat Era. This is sort of a self-indulgent rec because the incredible Calipsan wrote Lestat's POV of my fic Into the Woods and the events that take place there and I love it so much. For one, I love getting Lestat's reaction to a failed turning and how it makes him think of Nicolas. It's gorgeously written and it continues the story insofar as how Vampire Court decides to proceed with justice in this situation. It's a super enjoyable read and I dig it.
Fanfic is, to me, a conversation and I think it's so cool to have fics that pick up where other fics leave off from different writers and different character's POVs, it's just NEAT. Thank you for writing this!
🌴 Years in the Dark by @translestatdl
Armand/Daniel, Night Island Era. I'm a sucker for anything set in the period right after QotD, particularly with Armand and Daniel, but really with any of them. It's such a weird, fascinating time for all of them. This is a delightful fic that touches on some of the challenges of them all being together and the struggle Armand and Daniel have trying to connect after everything's that happened. Absolutely love it!

VC Fic Friday
A Hunt by Terryreviews
Rated T | 2.3k words | Lestat & Daniel
Lestat takes Daniel hunting, they talk about the paths that led to things turning out the way they did, they flirt and hunt an evil-doer. It's sweet, it's funny, it's Lestat and Daniel messing around and enjoying each others company. What more do you want?

To those of you wondering (aka no one), I finished both The Vampire Armand and Merrick and I have a lot of thoughts and feels. I'm skipping Blood and Gold for now to go directly to Blackwood Farm (I'll read B&G later), but first I'm going to read something else, just to take a break.
TVA thoughts: man, Armand is messed up. And extremely compelling. But so messed up. As always, the theme of faith crisis, which seriously reaches new heights with these bitchy vampires, is not something I can fully immerse myself in, but it was fascinating to see his numerous metamorphosis. I liked how he bridges Western and Eastern Christianisme, especially through art. Now I'm thinking that if Rolin Jones makes him originally Muslim in the show, that could expand even more the conversation on how faith, and especially Abrahamic faith, has been in conversation for thousands of years and could be such a rich, diverse and spiritual, intellectual and artistic theme. I can already imagine some fascinating discussions comparing (not in a superior way but in a complementary way) coming from Muslim faith to Roman Catholic faith, the way book!Armand talks about the richness of his life in Kiev Rus despite the poverty and ascetism, and the richness of his life in Venecia despite the luxury and abundance.
As for Benamin and Sybille... I don't have much thoughts about them. Sybille is one of those female characters AR seemingly favors, not so much human as a nymph or a dryad, "perfectly splendid". And Benji is a caricature of an Arab child. Nuance? 401 not found.
Merrick thoughts: David for the love if everything, shut. The. Fuck. Up. Holy moly. I like David, I do, but damn the entire recollection of his history with Merrick was looooooong. I'm here to see Louis haunted by Claudia and haunting Lestat's coma, not how hard you're pining for the kid you practically raised! Also. ALSO. You're just going to leave that whole thing with the Olmec or possibly another more ancient Mesoamerican civilisation without ever giving us more? That was the most interesting part of it all! The vodoo history, the connection between Louisiana and Caribbean vodoo and old Native South-American religions! More about this, less about Merrick's perfect breasts, I am begging you. (It is at this point that the reader of this post realises OP is 100% definitely ace and more interested in books and witchcraft than breasts and whether a 70yo man can still get it up - also, hey, Anne Rice's vampires are practically asexual and their lust and pleasure is mostly derivated from blood, with some notable exceptions like Armand and Marius, and a love relationship between two vampires is then based on romantic love and blood sharing, so can I hear a hell yeah for some ace representation or are we still conflating eroticism with sex)
Another thing I kept thinking about throughout the book is how Louis is perceived by his fellow vampires. Since basically the second book, since we've lost his own POV, everybody who's ever said anything about him (so Lestat, Armand and David) have insisted on two points: how very weak and meek Louis is, and also how irresistible, beautiful and charming. Granted, I've known Louis first through his portrayal on the show (hi Jacob you're so fiiiiiiine), and then through his own narration in the first book, but I've never had the impression that he was weak. Beautiful and seductive, yes. Weak? I see a human man going through tragedies and still enduring, going through vampiric transformation and then suffering for decades the loss of his humanity, struggling with reconciliating both sides of himself, but mostly I see a vampire who rebuilt himself after losing everything without sacrificing his sense of self. I see Louis as very strong actually (up to the point where resilience breaks, because resilience cannot be sustained on a long term, but that's another debate). He knows who he is, and don't you know how hard that is? He doesn't cling to faith or pride. He knows he's doomed, he knows he's monstrous, he knows there's nothing he can do to change that, and instead of railing against his fate, he goes on about his undead life. He gets his books and he reads them, he surrounds himself with literature and what little comforts he thinks in his shattered self-esteem he deserves (his ragged sweaters and soft trousers); let's not lie to ourselves tho, Louis doesn't like himself, or more exactly he doesn't care about his corporeal body - what matters to him is his mind, and once again, this author is extremely ace and also very aro and very nonbinary, so Louis to me is very much ace and agender coded, though really not aro, because his love for Lestat (and sometimes his fondness, shall we say, for Armand) is the only thing that can rouse him up from his literary slumber.
...
Oh, man, I have a lot to say about Louis, for how little he appears in the books so far. Still have BF, BC and the PL trilogy to devour. So I guess you can say, for as much as Lestat is occupying my entire brain, very much like him, my favorite is Louis? Yeah, that tracks. Melancholy, quiet, dark-haired green-eyed monster with more humanity than humans, preferring his solitude and the company of books to anyone else, hopelessly and helplessly devoted to one person, expert in brooding and grieving, literature specialist, not very attached to his physical self. Yeah. I'm not surprised.

#vcficfriday 🦇
Isaiah 1:15-18 (32364 words) by @fofoqueirah
Rating: Explicit Relationships: Armand/Lestat de Lioncourt/Marius de Romanus, Armand/Lestat de Lioncourt, Armand/Marius de Romanus, Lestat de Lioncourt/Marius de Romanus Summary: Suddenly, I hate his jealousy. I hate it! He is one of God's angelic cherubs when he smiles at me, but his eyes hold fury because I am in his Maker's arms. Wasn't Marius at the centre of our early conflict? Wasn't his longing for Marius why he spared me long enough for me to break his world, then shatter his heart when Marius came for me and not for him?
I am not ready to discuss the many thorns in our relationship. I dread bringing up Nicolas, his coven or Claudia. I can't; I am not ready myself. But I can debate Marius, and we could at least fix that grief.
Is there a way to kill what poison seeps from his heart when he thinks of me and Marius?
Would mending their relationship impact ours?
a.k.a. the one in which Lestat's attempts to fix his and Armand's ongoing resentment, ends up fixing Armand and Marius' convoluted relationship, mending his relationship with both while he's at it.
OKAY LISTEN - this is the Marius/Armand/Lestat fic I've been waiting for my whole life. The drama! The BAGGAGE!! The Daddy Issues™️!!! There's other characters and relationships woven in even though the trio is the focus and Fofo just juggles it all so well, I'm so excited for the other 14 CHAPTERS TO COME. 🥹
Lestat's Son (1673 words) @calipsan
Rating: Mature Relationships: Lestat de Lioncourt/Original Female Character(s) Summary: Giselle is a married woman living in the village near Chateau de Lioncourt. She finally gets the courage to ask a young mortal Lestat to her bed. The story is from her POV, but it is mainly an exploration of what Lestat might have been getting up to with the ladies of the village.
Honestly, the idea of Lestat having human descendants HAUNTS me and I'm so excited to see a fic finally tackling that big fat "What If?" in Lestat's mortal life!!! I love having it from a woman's POV too, something we definitely don't see a lot of in VC fic! 🙏🏼
Touched and laughing, father and daughter (201 words) by @butchybats
Rating: General Audiences Relationships: Claudia & Lestat de Lioncourt Summary: Louis is interrupted while reading and goes to find Lestat playing with Claudia.
What if I cried though, what then? Such a perfect little slice of Rue Royale era fluff, ft. Lestat being a better dad to Claudia than his dad ever was to him!!!! 🤧🤧🤧
*and if you're wondering what exactly #vcficfriday is, please feel free to check it out here! 🥹

VC Fic Recs: Saturday Edition!
I know some people were doing fic rec friday, but my Friday got away from me. And I still wanna contribute to your weekend reading! So here’s some stuff I read this week that you should check out too:
In the Blood by @desertfangs​
LISTEN. This is the immediately-post QotD vampire!Daniel hunting with Armand fic that dreams are made of, and if you like these two as a couple and haven’t read this you’re missing out! The details of Miami are beautiful, the hunt is the most sensual thing I’ve read in a very long time, and the emotions are all there: the love, Armand’s fatalistic streak, Daniel’s desire to please. 10/10 Armand/Daniel work, you need to read it!
Stage Directions by @rainbowcarousels​
Rainbow does this period of Lestat’s mortal life like nobody else, and we get a rare treat in the form of Nicki being sweet and not acidic. He’s still smart mouthed and snarky but in this fic you can see why Lestat fell for him. Top tier banter, filthy dirty talk, 18th century makeup and costume- what more could you want? Plus a more vulnerable mortal Lestat. It’s so, so well written and true to the tone of Lestat’s narration. An awesome fic you owe it to yourself to read.
Beneath Your Shallows by @hekateinhell​
It’s mortal Lestat with mermaid Armand. A creepy-cute-sexy romp on the beach where Lestat gets ruined for humanity and makes the friend he craves in the most surprising way. It’s a whole new variety of monster fucking for me and it’s so well written, detailed in all the right places. Making a character themselves when they can’t speak is such a challenge but it’s done right here, Armand is so very good!

It's vcficfriday and I'm going to do something a little off brand for me and recommend a Louis/Lestat.
Actually, I might do a couple. I was taking recently about the fics I read when I was first in the fandom and I have a lot of nostalgic love for these fics from the 90's. As much as I love that Ao3 is there now, it's always great to keep hold of the older fics on old sites and not forget they exist.
Walking Mojo was one of the cutest fics I remember finding back when I was just getting into the fandom. It follows Lestat walking Mojo after an absence where Louis has been looking after him and gives him an insight into Louis' life and is generally just a very sweet moment set after TotBT.
Are you a found family addict? Do you like a little outsider POV? Would you like a lifelong chaffeur Daniel kink that you didn't realise was still there until recently? Then I would recommend Foster Fledgling and it's side story. The concept is creative - instead of Memnoch being a spirit, it's a bad drug trip in which Lestat accidentally makes a teenager a vampire while in the throes of his hallucinations and his friends and family come together to try and care for the new addition.

Mhhhhh. You mean photo manipulations? No, not really, sorry (though I bet there will be soon^^). - HAHA, sorry. I am a terrible proof reader. I have people for that! I meant fan fiction!
Ah okay :)
I am not nearly reading enough fan fiction (nor writing 🙈) right now, BUT this one by @cbrownjc and @faerywhimsy is sublime:
Anyone who wants to add on with their recs? (But this one you should definitely read^^)

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers (except me because obvs I have done it). Spread the self-love ❤
AAAAhh this is such a cool idea!! Thank you for the ask! I will be sending this around like a hot potato.
It's so hard for me to pick favorites because different fics mean different things to me but I'm just going to pick the ones that come to mind first.
Lace - Armand/Daniel - Explicit - 4,490 words To distract Daniel from yet another mortal birthday, Armand gets Daniel a pair of lace panties... and demands he wear them out to a bar. I think this is the smut fic I'm most proud of. I really went for it and I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's got crossdressing, sex in public, and weird Devil's Minion games.
Hey Pretty - Armand/Daniel - Explicit - 6,325 words
Speaking of smut, I wrote this for Kink Week last year. It's set not long after Armand and Daniel reunite in Prince Lestat when things are still awkward as heck between them and Daniel figures out a good to way to cut through that is to let Armand watch him feed on a mortal... and then take it back to the bedroom. It's a lot about the strangeness of reconnecting and growing pains of fraught relationships.
Five Times Daniel and Armand Almost Kissed During the Chase Years & One Time They Did - Armand/Daniel - Mature - 5,940
NGL I think this might be my favorite fic I've written. It's definitely the one I go back to read most often. It's just little vignettes of Armand and Daniel getting closer during the Chase Years and it makes me happy. Really proud of this one.
The City Never Sleeps - Lestat/Daniel - Mature - 13,024 words
This is the fic that absolutely took me the longest to write (though Look Right Through is gaining on it with edits). I agonized over every line of dialogue and Lestat is not always easy for me, but I love how this turned out. It's Daniel entertaining Lestat in NYC in the post-canon era while Armand is out of town, and it's a lot about his past with Armand and showing Lestat their lives, but also Daniel knows Lestat wants to connect with Armand on a deeper level and he's trying to help. Also Lestat is having angst about Louis. You know how it is! I really love this fic so it was worth the hair-pulling.
And gosh how do I pick a final one? -frets-
In the Blood - Armand/Daniel - Mature - 4875 words
On Night Island, Armand is fretting about Daniel now being a vampire, and a little healthy voyeurism helps. I think Daniel is a really gentle, sensual killer, which is on display here, but again it's the two of them trying to connect after Daniel's been turned and all of the stumbling blocks that come with it.
Oof that was tough! I will be sending this around to people's inboxes, hoping to see some awesome self-recs!

#VC Self Rec Sunday
Thank you @bubblegum-blackwood for tagging me!
Walking Mojo was a lot of fun to write! I love animals, so I tend to mention Mojo in a lot of my fics. I began with wondering who would take care of Mojo when Lestat just up and decides to take off at 3 a.m. My answer was, of course, Louis. Louis would also be awake, and never goes anywhere. Who better?
But they would each have different styles of pet parenting, and how would that work? I wanted to show things from Mojo's perspective, but first person Mojo would not work. (Yes, I tried it for about five sentences. Disaster! 🤣)
I settled on the first time Louis dogsits Mojo. Then following Lestat as he takes Mojo for a walk after returning from his adventure.
It has the most kudos on AO3, so that's why I decided to rec it this week! If you decide to try it, I hope you enjoy it!
I tag @nalyra-dreaming @translouisdpdl @licncourt @saintrayne @rebnessfic @apoptoses @ladyvampir3 @faerywhimsy and anyone else who wants to do it!

#vcficfriday 🦇
Food for Love (1944 words) by @auntyeater
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Vampire Chronicles Series - Anne Rice Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Armand/Denis (Vampire Chronicles) Characters: Armand (Vampire Chronicles), Denis (Vampire Chronicles), Santiago (Vampire Chronicles), Celeste (Vampire Chronicles), Estelle (Vampire Chronicles) Additional Tags: Food, Food as a Metaphor for Love, Feeding, Fluff and Angst, Implied/Referenced Character Death, Blood Drinking, Canon Compliant, Underage Drinking, Threats of Violence, One Shot, Not Beta Read Summary: Armand feeds and is fed.
This is such a great peek into what Denis's every day life with Armand might've looked like and what informed the predator/pray, master/slave dynamic that Louis saw — just fucked me up in the best way!! Feels so true to the Armand we met in IWTV; cruel and deliberate yet still so gentle and enticing.
We as a fandom don't talk about Denis enough and I think it's a shame because THERE'S SO MUCH to be explored here even with the little tidbits of information we have and this fic did it beautifully. 🥹🙏🏼
We Are the Dead (6677 words) by @nothing-but-paisley
Chapters: 3/3 Fandom: Vampire Chronicles - Anne Rice Rating: Mature Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Armand/Daniel Molloy, Armand/Marius de Romanus Characters: Armand (Vampire Chronicles), Daniel Molloy, Lestat de Lioncourt, Marius de Romanus, Bianca Solderini, Louis de Pointe du Lac, Pandora (Vampire Chronicles), Benji Mahmoud, Sybelle (Vampire Chronicles) Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Palace Intrigue, Vampire Politics, mention of the war in Ukraine, Blood Drinking, Gore, Dismemberment, consensual throat tearing, Just Armand Things, mentions of previous Armand/Marius, Maker Angst Series: Part 1 of Knight of Swords Summary: Armand's newfound domesticity gets interrupted when he is summoned to Court for mysterious reasons.
This is simply one of the best post-canon fics I've ever read. I love when the horror aspect of vampires isn't shied away from and honestly, I adore Armand when he's being a monster. 🥹 The premise here is so fucking unique too, I don't want to spoil it but GUYS YOU HAVE TO READ THIS LMAO IT'S SO TOPICAL. And there's so much going on with Armand's relationships with Daniel, Marius, Lestat — and even Pandora and Bianca! I cry!!!!!!
I didn't get to read/reread a lot of fic this week (I usually like to do a quick reread if I haven't read it in a while) so it's only two for today but to be fair, there's two parts to the Knight of Swords series and you should read them BOTH so ykw I'm counting it as three! ♥️
*and if you're wondering what exactly #vcficfriday is, please feel free to check it out here! 🥹

Tagged by @hekateinhell! Thank youuu! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗
Since this is my VC sideblog, I'm only choosing from my VC fics 🦇 Not in any particular order:
A Bridge (1,200) Louis/Lestat Later Rue Royale era. During a lonely brooding walk, Louis unexpectedly meets an equally brooding Lestat on a bridge near the river. Set not long before their family starts falling apart, things are still good between them--but are they ever, really? Semisweet and angsty (my favorite flavor) I wrote this little fic while I was in the hospital waiting room while my mom was having surgery. It's one of my oldest stories, and the very first one I wrote entirely on my own (I usually co-write with friends), and I'm still proud of it, especially as it's more focused on Louis's POV (third person) and I'd previously only ever really written from Lestat's. I was in an artsy phase, and I wanted to focus on using bridge symbolism in a sort of opposite way from what might be expected.
The Center of it All (1,500) A few years after Queen of the Damned, Lestat is having an introspective night, remembering his time working on his first book and how differently he felt about Akasha before he actually met her. Cynical and self-effacing. This is my most underrated fic, and I wish more people would give it a chance! People don't click on it because it's not in any ship tags, and is really just a Lestat solo moment, though he does describe an old conversation with his TVL era lawyer, Christine. But it's another early work for me, and I wrote Lestat's internal monologue in first person, trying to capture his voice from the way he writes his own books, as well as being a bit meta about the way Anne write. I think I did a pretty good job, and wish this little fic would get some love!
Under the Stars (6,400) Louis/Lestat earlier Rue Royale era, set during regency times. A strange woman in their neighborhood has Louis concerned about the safety of their dark secret, but Lestat isn't taking his worries seriously. Classic Loustat repressed mutual pining with an adorable ending. I wrote this for a Secret Santa exchange, and the prompt was my giftee's headcanon that Lestat pretends to be Claudia's dead mother's brother, while Louis is her father, and that's how they get by with their neighbors not knowing they're gayyyy (and also vampires). I'd watched Bridgerton recently, and am pretty much always in the mood for a Regency Romance, so decided to set it in that era with some Jane Austen flair, focusing on Lestat's POV (third person) and how much he doesn't want to admit he's desperate for Louis's attention. The idea of them needing to trick the neighbors led me to the idea of, what if one saw through it?? But I took it in a sweet and humorous direction for some Christmas fluff (rare for me!) and this has since become my most popular solo fic on ao3 by far! Although it has pining, it's romantic and not so angsty for once from me.
The Bear in the Snow (4,100) Lestat & Armand. After Blood Communion ends, Lestat still isn't sure where he stands with Armand, and he's been stressing about it. On Christmas Eve, Armand gets Lestat to stalk him out into the snowy forest, where he tells a story from his own childhood in a subtle/manipulative (but in a good way) attempt to begin to bridge the rift between them. This was another Secret Santa gift, and the prompt from the giftee was a story about young Andrei having some soft time with his parents. I don't write Armand very often at all, but I was excited for the challenge--except writing a VC fic with no vampires?? I wound up coming up with the framing device and telling it from Lestat's POV (a cop out for me lol he's my default voice), but since the main story is Armand speaking aloud, telling a story about hunting bears with his father, a lot of it is his first person voice as well. Lestat and Armand's angsty obsessive frenemy dynamic is one of my absolute favorite parts of the entire series, but I'd never been brave enough to write any of it without a co-author before, so I'm really proud of how this one turned out.
The Hour Before Dawn (6,400) Louis/Armand set when their relationship is falling apart, shortly before Louis goes to see Lestat in the crumbling house in New Orleans (so early 1970s according to IWTV or 1920s according to TVL) Louis has been growing even more distant, and Armand is desperate to keep him. When Louis returns home to their apartment in New York after some unexpected days away, Armand resorts to playing his trump card. Of all my old co-written fics from years ago, this one still really sticks with me. It was my very first time writing Armand, and dark, desperate, needy Armand, at that. It's third person, but more omniscient than from either of their POV's in particular. My prose focus was on extreme subtlety and only hinting at Armand's true feelings and motivations through physical actions and his word choices (and lack thereof), leaving a lot between the lines for the reader to pick up on only from external clues. Kind of the opposite of my co-written stories now, which are all extremely internal-heavy, where you read every single little thought and feeling going on with every character (and that's why they're millions of words long 😆). This one is sparse and mysterious and soso bittersweet and angsty 😋
I think all my VC pals have been tagged already, so branching out of the fandom and tagging @gaslightgallows @les-gnossiennes-fantomatiques @nellachronism
