Feyre:

For the people who can’t watch the video right now, here is the scroll down version! For the video I edited the audio so that it ends sooner, but you’ll be able to watch the first part with the music like this too, only the ending deviates… So I highly recommend watching the video on a desktop too!!

Enjoy ^^

does anyone else stop and think about how Laurent must have felt when everything was over and the regent could do no more harm and how happy and hopeful he could feel, thinking maybe this time I can have this, I can have this and no one will threaten to take it away from me

Ohmygod years of wait and it’s finally ASDFGHJKL. In light of the announcement for the Kings Rising’s release date, I WILL TRY (or die trying) TO GET PEOPLE INTO THE FANDOM.

No seriously, for those who haven’t read it try putting aside your prejudices and I swear this will be the one of the best M/M series you will ever read in your entire life.

You’ll think the series is just all about BDSM, non-con sex, weird ass fetishes, insta-love (worst trope ever) and basically non-stop gay sex (y'know crazy characters with libido level 999999) but naww, the political intrigue, war maneuvers and intricate relationship/world building are the real centerpiece of the novels. (double-crossing on top of double-crossing on top of double-crossing, yeah it’s a helluva ride)

The romance is well-developed and paced just right, but tbh also painfully arduous with the insane amount of sexual tension. You’ll grow to love the characters so much (except the Regent because he deserves all the universal hate) and the relationship between the MCs is so, so precious.

This quote will always be one of the worst for me in thr entire series and it becomes so much more horrible when you know the outcome.

I think what happens to Aimeric affects Laurent more than he is willing to admit. I think he realizes that in another universe he probably could have ended up this way as well. I think that’s why he goes to Damen to seek comfort (but that’s a topic for another day.)

The more I think about it, the more I want to cry. Laurent says this, because this is how he feels (and it’s probably why he didn’t tell Damen.) What he needs most of all, is to start believing that that this is not true. What happened to him was horrible and disgusting and so wrong, but it doesn’t make him any less of a complete person, who deserves to be loved and to love as just as much as anyone else. He needs to be able to heal and feel safe and I am so happy he has Damen to give him that.

Okay, so story time.

When I first started Kings Rising I thought that nothing could hurt more than Laurent rejecting and using Damen while he obviously had feelings for him.

I was very, very wrong.

What hurts more than reading that is reading while Laurent willingly turns himself over to the man that has mentally tortured and abused him all of his life, knowing this of course means he will be humiliated and executed as a traitor to his country. During this Damen is yelling for him to stop but Laurent would rather himself die than watch Damen get killed and lose everything he’s worked for, and that is just heartbreaking.

Blood before Ios: a Damen/Laurent fanmix

This is my first time writing for Captive Prince, but the call was too strong to resist after reading the books. This is a bit of a gift for @hashtag-eruri for getting me into the series!

“It is a rather fine throne.”

 Indeed, it was. The throne at the center of the palace at Ios seemed to flow out from the walls themselves, a carved seat of white marble, padded with a cushion of down and linen. It was, well and truly, a seat fit for a king.

 Even so, Laurent seemed rather displeased with it, sitting straight-backed, legs crossed, his mouth pursed in irritation. “It doesn’t suit me,” was his final assessment.

 "No, it doesn’t.“ Ignoring the dismissive look that earned him, Damen knelt before the throne, one hand coming to rest on Laurent’s knee. "There’s one that suits you, you know, back in Vere.”

 There was something distant in Laurent’s eyes, something wistful in his voice when he replied, “One day I’ll claim it.”

 "One day?“ Damen’s hand slid down along Laurent’s bare thigh as he spoke, sword callouses dragging along silken skin. The chiton suited him, at least, even if the throne didn’t. "Why not now?”

 "Are you in such a rush to be rid of me?“ Laurent seemed amused by the idea, sinking deeper into the throne as he spoke, sinking down into Damen’s arms.

 "Not at all.” Earnest as always. “But the longer you wait to return, the greater the risk of another usurper rising.”

 "I’m aware,“ Laurent said, sliding his fingers into Damen’s hair, carding through the thick curls with practiced ease, giving a warm shiver when Damen’s arms looped around his waist. "But I have the whole of Akielos at my back. I’m not worried.”

 "That’s new.“

 "It feels nice,” Laurent admitted, a soft, genuine smile blooming across his face. “I never thought there would come a time when I had no need to worry.”

 To that, Damen could only smile.

 "You’ve thought about it, haven’t you?“ Laurent’s left hand slid lower, his thumb stroking along the curve of Damen’s cheek, and he shivered when a soft kiss was pressed to his palm. ”Peace.“ The word was spoken softly, as though it were sacred.
