This is a gift for @kf-tea, who requested: Claudia and Lestat, when they still liked each other. The fond memories.

So this is one such memory… I hope it satisfies! Happy Holidays. Huge thank you’s to gairid (same name on AO3) and @wicked-felina (rebness on AO3), who both beta’d this!

Summary: Claudia and Lestat go out to share a kill of a couple, Claudia pushes his buttons, and he can’t help but be impressed with her.

---------------------------------

When I’d come downstairs, dressed for the evening, it was obvious that Claudia needed to go out, although it was earlier than she usually needed to do so. She didn’t see me in the doorway to the parlor, where I watched her fidget with her skirts, unable to find a comfortable position on the piano bench, her lower lip flush from the gnawing of her kitten’s fangs. Hungry. I glanced over at Louis, he didn’t notice that her scales had become irregular, so lost in accounting at his desk. Why he insisted on balancing his checkbooks himself when we could hire someone to do so… well, it was beyond me, but then again, I insisted on keeping hold of some chores that others could be hired to do, myself.

“Claudia, ma petite,” I leaned into the doorframe, tilted my head so that loose waves of hair framed my face. She grinned, her face a lit flame, balled her hands into fists, in rapt anticipation as I made my way about lengthily asking her if she fancied going out into the fresh night air with me.

For @peachofhighgarden

From @eliestela

Happy Holidays!

Your prompt suggestions got me thinking and I decided to go for Armand and Daniel (because I really REALLY love to draw them) traveling Europe, but instead of a QotD time, I went for a contemporary timeline with Daniel having an Instagram account and everything (and trying to get Armand have one so he can tag him). Hope you like it!

I chose Louis/Armand. The original prompt was “a quiet moment between one of the couples in the hectic Christmas time,” but I decided to make it just quiet. Hope that’s okay.

(Note from the mods: 2nd gift for this recipient is more for the fandom at large, as we were unsure if their assigned Santa would complete their gift in time).

Comments: Happy holidays, I hope you enjoy your gift.

In the first few nights after Daniel decided to stop running, he felt reborn. His new life was endless; the future was now a real, tangible thing. He would not be abandoned to live his old life, prisoner to the knowledge he had gained on Divisadero Street many years ago. No one will believe you, Armand had said. In truth, Daniel barely believed himself. Yet at dawn he crawled into the plush hotel bed, the blackout curtains blocking the early morning light. As he drifted off, he wondered if he would develop a vitamin D deficiency doing this, hiding from the sun…

Comments: Helloo!! Here is Armand and Lestat in the modern era, out and about in the streets, maybe for a nightly walk :) Lestat is being his usual smug self, while Armand retains his quiet demeanor. I didn’t want to add anything outright Christmas-y in the picture, but since it’s for a Christmas Gift Exchange, I thought to add snow and make it look like December^^ I hope you like my attempt at it! Best wishes to you, and a Merry Merry Christmas!! :D

My secret santa gift for @dhampirs-and-vampires! They asked for some fluffy Louis and Armand, and I love the idea of those two just quietly enjoying each others’ company on a cold night. <3

A picture of Amel enjoying some holiday traditions, as well as one of Marius and Armand spending a winter night together after so many centuries apart.

Hope your holidays are cheerful and a great start to the New Year!

If you enjoy these pieces as much as it was to draw them I’d be delighted <3

Comments: I’m best at writing, and you asked for fluff, so I did my best to deliver! I wanted to work more on writing Claudia, so I settled for their last Christmas together in New Orleans as a family. Though the context surrounding their family unit breaking up, the conversation is definitely sweet enough for you. Here’s the link to the fic, hope you enjoy~!

Marius/Mael moodboard and drabble

Hi!

This is my gift for @kmuttpaw (hoping I did right, it’s the first time I joined something like this!)

Pairing requested: Marius/Mael.

That druid and I.

He was my ruin and I was his.

He tore me away from my life, I destroyed his believes. I put the seed of doubt in his heart.

But there was something about him.

I was never able to love him, yet I didn’t want to hate him. I wanted for us to be something. To forgive. But there was always rage in his eyes when he looked at me.

Mael was never corrupted. He was trying to understand. Trying to understand, like all of us, his meaning in this world.

I wish we had had more time.

This community is under construction...

Fanworks (including adult content) are the lifeblood of a fandom, and the mods of vcsecretgifts on tumblr, @i-want-my-iwtv (burnadette_dpdl ) and @wicked-felina (rebness ), have decided to make a backup community to preserve our Vampire Chronicles fanworks from the purges going on at tumblr.

Please bear with us as we construct this new home, enjoy this rendition of Lestat's Recitative performed by melodysknight
as we resuscitate ourselves.
