I finally heard him moaning but it was not because of me.No.
She couldn’t say that.
Leia wouldn’t pity her sorry ass. She wouldn’t disrespect Jude, invade his privacy and share it with a stranger.
She couldn’t.
Her chest ached and her throat was strangled and her hands were shivering but she couldn’t.
She owed him too much.

Summary
In 2005, Stuart “Stu” Pickles is done with his safe life at home. His whole life has been one big non-event, and his obsession with inventions and famous last words has only made him crave “the Great Perhaps” even more (a phrase originating from Francois Rabelais, a poet). He heads off to the sometimes crazy and anything-but-boring world of Maurepas Lake Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alastor Youth. The handsome, clever, funny, desirable, self-destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alastor Youth. He's is an event unto himself. He pulls Stu into his world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart.
Then. . . .After. . . .where nothing is ever the same.
This fanfic is based on the novel "Looking for Alaska" by John Green.

A Midsummer Night's Dream in Mystic Falls by CosmicAdventurer

Summary
A whimsical little AU loosely based on the Bard's most magical play. Elena and Damon are in love, but since she believes that she's the only one who can quell the ripper, she stays in her make-up/break-up cycle with Stefan, who's in requited love with Caroline, unbeknownst to them both. Perhaps a little Midsummer magic in the form of a chaotic Twin Flame spell can save the day! Delena, Kolvina, and others! Ensemble cast!
Takes place right after an alternate S4, in which Freya came to the scene early, and that changed everything.
A TVD Fairy Tale!

Summary
Two neighbors, by accident, become more than just friends. This is a story of art, food, wine, all the things Paris is known for; but it's also a love story, a story that could take place anywhere, a story as old as humanity itself.
-----
Paris is a romantic city. Perhaps that's what makes it so difficult for Arthur to live here, despite the abundant amenities and London just a few hours away. Everything's overwrought, all friezes and corbels, buildings curling in on themselves and dripping with adornment, as if aching to be admired. The people are no different, rarely alone, moving just so to allow their hair or eyes to catch the light, each piece of clothing tailored to perfection.
Arthur appreciates it; if he didn't, he would have left for certain, career notwithstanding. He appreciates beauty, after all, and taste. But among the people of Paris, he can't help but feel like a sewer rat scurrying to and fro under a cloud of thick eyebrow. He feels it when he snaps out orders over text as the French talk and laugh in line for croissants.

Summary
“But ‘our conversation’ is over forever.” Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat
A standalone reflection from Nicolas de Lenfent, imagining his response to Lestat’s philosophy of The Savage Garden.
This piece expands upon a moment from The Vampire Lestat, where Nicolas plays his violin, unknowingly stirring memories in Lestat's mind.
What if Nicolas could hear those thoughts, and respond?
This excerpt is from La Chamber Ardente de Mon Cœur, set just after Lestat’s breakdown as a vampire at Renaud’s.
The context here is slightly altered from the original work.
I thought I’d share this for those not interested in a long work but who may be curious about my imagined Nicolas’ response to Lestat’s reflections.
If you’re planning to read the full work, skip this as it’s directly drawn from La Chambre Ardente de Mon Cœur. Only the opening and closing paragraphs are different.
If you read it first: It contains no plot spoilers for the other story, and stands on its own.
Content note (just as I rated it general… though I don’t imagine tiny children wandering into the Vampire Chronicles fics): Emotional/philosophical themes around suffering, art, and love
