The Speakeasy 🍸

Captive Prince ⚔️ By C.S. Pacat

Aaaaah thank you for your questions!! *rubs hands So, in my mind, the modern AU is set this way: Vince works as a debt collector and treasurer for a shady agency. He hates his job, but it’s the only thing he knows how to do, so he sticks with it. He’s completely focused on work, and in his (very limited) free time, he practices boxing. He lives with Ada, his roommate (they had a bit of a situationship that didn’t really work out). Ada owns a lingerie shop, loves parties, and always dresses fancy. She often brings her lovers home, and Vince absolutely hates waking up to find a stranger in his kitchen.

Victor works at a naval shop down by the harbor and has some shady side deals going on with the dockworkers. At night, he often stops by the local gay bar to grab a drink and maybe find a bit of company. He still loves to read - that’s how he spends most of his free time.

Hi! Thank you so much! 💕

Of course! I mainly use human 3d models to understand the camera angle + I look at other nsfw artists art. I always sketch the pose that I have in mind beforehand so that I don’t get lost into searching for references, and only then I’ll search for what I need!

I have a question… How would they have reacted if they had met each other before the war? So Victor before the war… Do you think they would have gotten along?

Hi! 🤍 thank you so much! 🫶

I think yes, in all timelines 💕 they fell in love with each others’ subtle, but irresistible quirks and details, such as the way Vince smiles, or a soft inespected laugh from Victor, etc.

Undisclosed lore for now! 🤐

Secondly, I just wanted to ask... How do Victor and Vince (and Ada too if you'd be willing 👀) perceive themselves vs each other? Do they see certain qualities that the other is blind to?

Aw, thank you so much!! 🙏🤍

Oh yes, absolutely!

Victor is labelled as the “psycho” one, but he sees himself as methodical and precise (and he is - but it’s his grin that people tend to remember first about him…).

Vince is seen as strict, often frustrated and angry, but he's actually an organised and easygoing person with a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders. People want him to fit the “loser mob boss” stereotype, when in fact he’s very capable of doing his job.

If Vince saw anyone break the pasta, would he trow hands?

The Nightgown ❤️‍🔥

Vince’s trying on Ada’s precious lingerie (her idea, obviously), and Victor having revelations about life and himself.
