a meal 2 remember - exposure by @iwtvdramacd18

what is there to say about exposure that hasn't been said a million times already. there's life before exposure and there's life after exposure. it's shocking. its mind-blowing. it's lifechanging. it's iconic. it's scandalous. it's exposure.

A quick Loumand Paris fic!

i've also included the moodboard i made while i was writing it

IT'S BACK BITCHES

...he wanted Louis to want him back, to accept him once again with open arms— to look at him like he used to. He wanted him to remember that he was what he wanted more than anything in the world. He needed Louis to know he would never truly abandon him, he would always be merely a whisper away.

a meal 2 remember - the night island by @kittyldpdl

crime boss armand. mob wife louis. deadbeat henchman lestat. this au set in the world of violent mobsters is sooooo much fun and a perfect translation of these characters!!! (please forgive my poor attempt at a scarface homage)

hiiiiiii for the iwtv fic rec/song game: that's all by genesis (which is a loustat song to me)

ooooooh thank you my darling for this ask!💕

i am almost certain i've heard this song before but i can't quite seem to place it. the beat feels so familiar to me and obviously the sound is quite nostalgic, very 80's top 40's style. a simplistic bare-bones beat that repeats in a way that mirrors the cyclical, frustrated back and forth of the lyrics which follow the subject as they reflect on the constant push and pull of a toxic relationship.

resentment at the inability to move past reoccurring patterns of negativity, feeling like you're the only person giving in and once you've reached the point of finally giving up you get pulled right back into the struggle because, while it's obviously not good for you, it feels too right even in it's discomfort to truly let go.

first and last verses, along with every chorus, ending in the refrain of "that's all". the subject has resigned themself to the expected frustration, to the constant tussling because even if "it would be easier, i know" to leave and be done with it, you know you will be nothing without that fight.

these two stanzas coming back to back too?

But why does it always seem to be Me looking at you, you looking at me It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all

Truth is I love you, more than I wanted to There's no point in trying to pretend There's been no one who makes me feel like you do Say we'll be together till the end

your diagnosing this as a loustat song is soooo spot on.... and I have the perfect fic to pair it with!

the tumultuous melodrama of the quizás series by @devotiondroid

i could have sworn leslou say these exact things to one another over the course of the two parts of this intricately built, decadent piece of work. I don't want to give away spoilers in case you haven't already read this delicious epic (please go and crack it open now. i beg!) but there are a few mediation scenes that occur between lestat and louis near the start of the second part and this song really just works perfectly in those scenes. good to love and ruthless in love are essential reading as far as i'm concerned, an exercise in skill and stamina on the writers part. a piece where you fall on love over and over again with not only each character (including compelling side characters) and the dynamics explored between them all, but also the idea of love itself, all the ways it can be had, broken, denied, squandered, repaired, cherished.

and i'm not talking just to talk. it's really genuinely that good!
