Okay, wow. I love Armand/Louis as a pairing. Mmmm. But so sad! Waaah! Screw my Harry Potter angst, there is more than enough in-canon angst in the VCs to keep fic writers going for a loooong time.
Inarticulately, I want to say what I think I've worked out about your VC fic that works, Becky. You bridge some gap in the manner of the vampires that even Anne Rice can't bridge. She makes her characters either stiff and formal or unconvincingly modern, but somehow you're able to put modern dialogue in their mouths so that it makes sense. Your vampire characters talk about their feelings in a way that doesn't make me cringe. Your dialogue isn't soap-opera like, it's just real. I really envy you that, actually, as dialogue is possibly my weakest point. But, gah, the way you write vampires is sublime.
