    Summary

    Claudia swallows. “I’m not a prostitute. Louis—he adopted me, when my parents left and the rooming-house burned down.”

    Grace startles. At the admission of death or the admission of adoption, she can't be sure. If Grace knows Louis' true nature, of his relationship with Lestat, then she must have predicted that her brother would never have a child.

    Then—Grace winces. “My brother’s daughter,” she says, voice quiet, voice contemplative, voice regretful, and she manages to make the title sound like more than Louis or Lestat ever has.

    Her mother died. Her father ran off. Her adoptive parents let her burn.

    Claudia is cursed to a half-existence forever because Louis missed the woman in front of her so much that he wanted to replace her. 

    But when Grace says my brother's daughter, some part of Claudia thinks "I am both of their daughter, I've got Lestat's hunger and Louis' ache, and Grace just sees the parts of me that are human."

    (Grace meets Claudia next to a grave before her mother's funeral, and things go a little bit differently.)

    Summary

    "Do you think we could live the rest of our lives on this road?"
    -Stephen King, The Long Walk

    It makes the sensations in his feet and knees and ankles pale in comparison, the way Ray finds himself liking Pete. He likes the way Pete’s mind bounces from thought to thought, the quick grin that lights up his face when he’s enjoying a joke. Ray likes that Pete is always trying to keep everyone’s energy levels up, even if it means winding them up until they pick up the pace just to get away from him. But most of all Ray likes the way Pete looks at him, as though he is somehow witty and fascinating, and not painfully average in every way. What had Parker called him? A bumpkin? The fuck did I ever do to you, Collie?

    Summary

    Pete sat back on his haunches, still between Ray's legs, resting his hands on his thighs. "Hey," he said. That fucking smile was back. "Wanna try something?"

    He pressed a small kiss to Ray's still clothed knee. "What if, instead of talkin' about it and making you go all red and shy - yeah, like that - what if you show me?"

    "Show you?"

    "Yeah. Show me how you touch yourself."

    Summary

    Under the table, Pete's foot nudges his. He gives Ray a look, raised eyebrows and tilted head, as if to say "Well?"

     

    "It's okay," Ray says. "It's just... that's Jan."

     

    "Jan?" Pete whispers. His eyebrows are almost at his hairline. His arms are crossed over his chest. He doesn't exactly look happy, or even relieved. "Your girl Jan?"

     

    "She's not my girl," Ray reminds him.

     

    "But she was."
