    Summary

    “This slave is a gift from the Regent of Vere
    to Prince
    Damianos.”

    A reverse AU exploring how just a single canon divergence – where Laurent is forced into slavery instead of being the prince – could set off a chain reaction that radically transforms the original narrative.

    Inspired by this illustration of oenjanz’s (@tumblr), however the fic cover is my own.

    Summary

    Laurent simply couldn’t hide his growing delight. Damen had snowflakes in his curls, their whiteness a stark contrast against the darkness of his soft hair. Laurent didn’t think Damen could look more handsome but there he was, strong and broad and his.

    “Some say you spoil me,” Laurent said and allowed his lips to curl into a smile.

    “Some should mind their own business,” Damen replied and skimmed his knuckles over Laurent’s cheek. “You’re mine to spoil.”

    Laurent was suddenly very grateful that the air was so cruelly cold against his skin, allowing him to claim that the pink flush on his cheeks was a mere consequence of being outside and not an ill-concealed reaction to Damen’s easy admission.

    “As you are mine,” Laurent said at last, his voice quiet but certain.

     

    Damen takes Laurent to Acquitart in winter to steal some time away from their court.

    Summary

    *8/23: On a brief hiatus while I reread the books again and make some very big political decisions that will affect the entire story*

    They were never meant to grow up.

     

    Laurent is fifteen, and alone. Auguste is dead, and in the encroaching red tide of the Regent’s hostile court, he has resigned himself to defeat and incurred a reputation as reckless, troubled, unfit to rule.

    When all seems hopeless, an unexpected ally intervenes in a moment of crisis, and Laurent finds renewed determination to avenge his brother’s death and reclaim his throne. What he doesn’t expect to find is a taste of normal adolescence and a chance to be known, and loved.

    But the Regent’s cruelty is a poison, and Laurent is not its only survivor. When a clever, sharp-tongued orphan arrives in the palace as a contender for the Regent’s newest pet, Laurent must face a terrible choice, and confront the reality of the other wretched creatures his uncle leaves in his wake.

    ---
    This is a canon-adjacent prequel to Captive Prince.

    Summary

    Laurent closed his eyes and skimmed his fingers over his arms, forcing himself to think that it was Damen’s hand, that it was his touch and love. Did it count as betrayal? Did Laurent betray him when he gave himself up to his uncle? Laurent remembered the way Damen thrashed on the floor, how fiercely he swore to kill his uncle, how desperately he shouted Laurent, Laurent, Laurent.

    Laurent is imprisoned in the dark cell and prepares himself for death. He has two visitors.

    Summary

    Laurent wondered to himself if this was what it was to be a boy of 17. Sneaking out after dark for a secret moonlit rendezvous with a lover, lying beside one another, exchanging shy touches of only hands, swapping murmured secrets.

    But that wasn’t quite right, he thought, because any other young men of their ages would be entangled in each other’s limbs and frantically untying laces by now, not tensely lying apart on their backs like nervous schoolboys. He wondered what Auguste, at 17, was doing with the pretty girls he would steal away with sometimes, returning sated and satisfied with a grin that left little to be surmised. Probably not this.

    OR

    Teenage Laurent shares an intimate moment under the stars with his secret little boyfriend.

    Summary

    Enguerran turned. “Vere is welcoming its brother.” His voice was careful, balanced on the edge between sarcasm and diplomacy. Even as the words left his mouth, he could feel the shift in the air. Damen inhaled deeply, his chest rising beneath the weight of cold air and restrained fury. His voice was ice wrapped around iron. “The King of Vere,” he said. “Where is our brother?” Enguerran was pale — he’d always been pale, his skin like milk even in summer, when others browned and glowed. He just turned red. Burned. Now, under Damen’s gaze, he felt like he was burning again. “The rumors-” but his voice cracked like thin ice.

    “The rumors,” Damen interrupted, “have it that the King is missing.” Enguerran flinched, then nodded. The words tasted like ash, “Aye. The King is missing.” The admission fell like a stone in the silence that followed. Enguerran braced for it — the strike that had to follow.
    Damen didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t lift a hand. He only took a single step forward. It was enough. Enguerran stumbled back without thinking. His heart beat like a war drum in his chest, his breath shallow in the freezing air. Damen loomed before him — soaked, furious, silent.

    And this was only the beginning.

    Summary

    “I’m so proud of you, Laurent,” Damen murmured as his fingers began untying the laces on Laurent’s back. He could see that Laurent was untying the laces on his forearms. “You’re going to be the greatest King of Vere. And Akielos, of course.” Damen leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to Laurent’s nape, his lips skimming over the golden hair there.
    “I don’t want to have sex tonight.”
    Damen’s fingers stilled in the laces. He looked up to catch Laurent’s reflection in the mirror but Laurent’s eyes were stubbornly fixed to his own forearms. Laurent’s voice was clipped, something that Damen was slowly growing unused to.

    The day of Laurent's coronation was meant to be joyous. When he knelt as a Prince and rose as a King, something changed inside him. Damen just wanted to be let in to find out what happened.

    Summary

    “Do you remember when you kissed me on the battlements, Damen? I’m sure you could hear the beating of my heart then. I didn’t know what to do, I was so scared. Not of you. I knew you wouldn’t hurt me. I was scared of my reaction to it. I wanted to pull you closer, I wanted to wrap my arms around you and never let you leave.”

    What if Kastor's knife cut a little deeper? What if Damen was lying in his bed, pale and weak from the blood loss?
    Laurent watches over Damen's sleep and tells him all the things he didn't have the time to say earlier.

    Summary

    But it was never that easy. Berenger starts to wonder why he's never felt the desire to kiss anyone. Luckily, the aforementioned gorgeous redhead helps him figure it out.

    Summary

    In Damen’s defense, he thought it’d be cute. And also just a tiny bit of revenge. But the sweet kind!

    The plan was foolproof: learn some Veretian terms of endearment, surprise Laurent with them and enjoy his blushing reactions.

    It's only fair, after Laurent has been turning him tongue-tied and blushing in front of his entire court with every sweetly accented Akielon pet name. He knows what he's doing, the snake! It's time for Laurent to reap what he's sown, or Damen isn't King of Akielos!

    Summary

    As Laurent settled beneath the skeletal branches, he opened the book and began to read the intricate verses, silent reading wasn’t much of a problem but reading them aloud, his voice trembling with a mixture of frustration and hate. It was a poem about death, the power of love and these kinds of fantasies now long gone, shattered like his innocence from years ago.
