*giggles and sighs and giggles again* Again, you amaze and impress me!! First of all, I marvel at the way that you stay true to the characters of Lestat (the brat-prince, well done!!!) and Curt even with the influence of Stuart and Ewan still so very fresh (fresh in my mind, anyway, lol). Lestat is completely sensual and philosophical and insists on staying amused at things, just like in the books. And Curt. *hand to chest* Your Curt is just a tonic for the soul. Wounded, beautiful, rough, and completely vulnerable in a way that maintains his dignity and prickliness.
Knowing that which was bad about life – which is rather, at the core, the same for mortal and immortal alike: the despair, the weathering – but at the same time, he had that which Lestat had never quite found, in anyone, not even young Jesse. This ornery internal fire. Even when one realised just what kind of a hell they really were in, yet...they still did not cave. Lestat was that, as much as one could be. And so was this man.
OMG, that bit is perfection. Damn. I would've never pieced that together between these two, and yet here is seems 100% self-evident. You absolutely rule.
And GUNH! The chemistry between them. I swear I can't get enough. Mix your gift with capturing them and all these gorgeous little details (the club, the missing drug dealers, the fire escape) and the piece just glimmers.
Like I said, you are at the top of my Must Read NOW stack.
