Captive Prince Big Bang

Hello Everyone!

We are happy to announce that this event is still alive and kicking! However, due to CaPri month the schedule had to be delayed, so the event is no longer an Octoberfest. For this reason, we have changed the title to the more simple “Captive Prince Big Bang 2018”. Furthermore, @berinbaka has joined the mod team!!

But more importantly, the signups for the Big Bang will open soon! All sign ups will be released on July 6th, with Author sign ups closing on July 20th and respective signups for artists, beta readers and pinch-hitters closing further into the event, so please keep an eye on that! 

Additionally, this year we’ll also create a form for submitting prompts if you have a few ideas you’d like to see written, or if you’re struggling for ideas as a writer. Anyone can submit a prompt, you don’t have to be signed up for the event. 

Please make sure to read the rules before you sign up and shoot us any questions you might have.

The schedule is as follows, note that it may be subject to change.

My drawing for veretianblue’s capri big bang fic ‘Till You Find Your Dream’!

Laurent closed his eyes. He tried to forget Aimeric and the stuffy library. Instead, he thought about the window in English class. He thought about how he had felt crying in his room on that fateful summer night. If he had done magic those times, to do it again he just needed to remember what it had been like – 

His stomach gave a lurch. He remembered how he felt when the window flew open, when his bedroom furniture went flying. He had felt raw. Exposed, like a nerve. He could not put the sensation into words, because he had been beyond words at the time. He had simply felt, and the magic had happened.

After taking a moment to drain his glass, Laurent stalked up to the man who had dropped his head back to his phone—possibly to send more childish texts—and said, “Exalted.”

My piece for this brilliant fic as part of Captive Prince Big Bang 2017! An incredibly fun DELICIOUS modern AU story filled with witty nods to the original series. Spoiler: Damen uses Biceps! Laurent is very thirsty! I feel so honoured to be part of this collab. Please enjoy and send her some love, it is a truly a gem A+++

Bonus sketch:

“Now that we’ve followed your plan, would you be averse to following mine? I had wanted to start by buying you a drink. And then if we got on, we’d talk all night long, and maybe I’d get your number. If you were amenable, tomorrow I’d meet you for coffee.” Laurent raised a skeptical eyebrow, despite the fluttering of his heart. “You do this with all of your potential hookups?” The slow progression to bed seemed counterproductive to the purpose of the app; even Laurent knew that. Damen grinned. “No. But I think you deserve to be courted. And call me old-fashioned, but I do enjoy a long, drawn out courtship.”

Here’s my illustration for the Captive Prince Big Bang 2017 !

I was paired with @randomstufffromotherblogs to illustrate her fic, which first chapter you can find here.

I made my drawing to work like a cover for the fic, rather than draw a specific scene from it. I love the idea of hockey player Damen and figure skater, and Iggy did a wonderful job of transposing the canon relationships into those settings. Im really glad I got to work woth her as an author. And Iggy : thanks for bearing with me and being so understanding, I wasn’t the easiest artist to work with

It is almost an hour before Nikandros finds them. Laurent knows little of the Akielon palace, but he knows this: the slave baths will be one of the last places he looks. By now, the bells have stopped their peal, and Kastor’s blood has begun to cool on the marble floor. Damen is sluggish and barely conscious.

“If I were contemplating regicide,” he murmurs to the flowers, “how would I go about it?”
