#capri fic

I'm in a Captive Prince phase. I reread the books this month and only read Capri fic. My theme for the month was arranged marriage. It wasn't planned, it just so happened that all my bookmarks pointed there. Keep 'em coming. I love it.

>> July list <<

💍 The Arrangement by @hoko-onchi-writes (Lamen, E, 40k)

Laurent must marry Damen for the sake of Vere. Damen comes to court him, but Laurent is having none of it.

In Damen's opinion, Laurent needs some coaxing before their consummation before the council.

A very fun arranged-marriage romance featuring gratuitous mention of Damen's thick... thighs.

⚔️ An Arranged Marriage by Josselin (Lamen, E, 18k)

Afterwards his father only remarked, “His features are very fine.”

“I am not marrying him for his features,” said Damen.

“No, you are marrying him for his dowry,” said Theomedes.

Watch Laurent come to Ios for a political marriage and solve all of Damen's problems in a year.

👱Golden Starbursts by thecouchsofa (Lamen, Damen/Auguste, E, 5k)

Damen has only ever fucked two men in his life. Both have worn the golden starburst emblem.

Damen is supposed to marry Auguste but things turn out differently. Damen will never be able to outrun the accusation of having a type.

somewhere only we know

explicit | 5.1k | Damen pov | here

A year after the events of Kings Rising, Damen and Laurent return to the summer palace for a reprieve.

Whilst there, Damen capitalises on the chance to take Laurent somewhere secret and special, somewhere just for them.

or: Damen is the most romantic lover boy ever

“You are precious,” Damen tells him, tucking a wet lock of blonde hair behind his ear.

“You are mine,” Laurent replies, kneading Damen’s shoulders with covetous hands. He kisses Damen again, sweet and simple, before piercing him with determined blue eyes. “I want to make love.”

Damen’s heart falls over in his chest; Damen himself almost falls over in his eagerness to comply. “Laurent,” he groans, and his grip tightens. Laurent squeezes him with his thighs, one finger beneath his chin, lifting it high so that their eyes lock again.

“Make love to me, Damianos.”

I will read Lamen in every universe, but I am also a rare pair gal at heart. I thought it would be fun to highlight some of the absolute gems I’ve found on AO3 of ships that are not exclusively Damen/Laurent.

As always: mind the tags, skip anything that does not appeal to you personally, and make sure to show love for stories you adore through kudos/comments 💚 it’ll make a writer’s day, I promise

"He... obviously likes it," Damen said.

“Likes it?”

Damen flushed. “Pain.”

“Oh.” Laurent huffed a laugh. “Yes.”

“Is that a weird thing to know about your brother?”

Leaning back against the counter, Laurent shrugged. “It’s not even close to being one of the weird things in my life.”

Reel Against Your Body’s Borders by @heyjude19-writing

Damen/Laurent/Nikandros | 21k | E

He looks lovely when he laughs, Laurent thinks. Such a rarity, and an entrancing one at that.

But no, it is not so rare; Laurent sees Nikandros laugh all the time. Especially, almost exclusively, with Damen. They have a sweet, boyish familiarity with one another in private that speaks to years of camaraderie and friendship.

It is because Laurent is the one responsible for Nikandros laughing. That must be what has Laurent so flustered at the sight before him now. Achieving this reaction from Nikandros causes warmth to bloom in his chest; his midsection tightens, and he cannot look away.

Nothing Like The Sun by @liesmyth

Jord/Laurent | 30k | E

When Jord had first met the Prince, he’d thought him far too beautiful to be real — like a statue, or a painting. Jord’s rough hands weren’t made to handle something so refined. But he looked, and he wanted, until he was trembling with it.

Or, post-GBFAS. Jord would do anything his Prince asked of him.

Don't you try to tell me that you never loved me by @barbitone

Ancel/Berenger | 11k | T

Ancel looked at him shrewdly, his eye narrowed. “Are you trying to run away because you don’t want to talk to me? Or because you think I don’t want to talk to you?”

Berenger took a breath, looking past Ancel rather than at him. “You didn’t want to talk to me before.”

“I was angry, before,” Ancel said. “Do you blame me for that?”

“Of course not.”

“Even I can’t hold a grudge for five years,” Ancel said. He smiled, faintly. “I’d get wrinkles. I have to maintain what’s left of my looks.” He gestured to his face.

Kingmaker by @seas-of-ios

Laurent never wanted to be king.

the frosty child by Anonymous

Nicaise-centric | 6k | M

I officialy lost control over my writing. I currently have 4 docs (and two handwritten pages) with bits and pieces of capri fics, varying from 4500 words that are almost a complete story, that I don't know how to end, and just a couple hundread words of an outline + some random dialogue.

The thing below is neither.

“Two kings married, what an idea. What about the heirs? Do you see any heirs?” There’s no acceptable way for Vere to be inherited by a bastard. The fact that the kings are both men might be even more problematic than the fact that each of them has their own kingdom to rule. “There’s a small boy,” says the prophet carefully. “He speaks four languages and is so fast and strong that he can beat grown soldiers in a swordfight.” “But he’s a bastard, isn’t he?” “I… I d-don’t know. I only see that he’s there and both kings act as his fathers.” It doesn’t explain the vision. Judging by Aleron’s stormy face, the king doesn't like it at all.

Thank you @run-for-chamo-miles and @suseagull5914 for tagging me!

So I've been a busy little bee lately! Now that all these books have reached their recipients I'll start posting them, and I want to start with one of my favorites---@wrenaspun's lovely fic, The Full Length of the Soul. I wanted to do something simple for this bind (opinions may vary on whether or not I hit that target) but this came together for me really quickly, and I'm really happy with it.

More pics and details under the cut.

Day 2 Prompt: Breeding

Pedigree (Damen/Laurent | Explicit | 1.2k)

"Your entire court has been as broody as a plucked hen, and though I have told Nikandros that I try to put a child in you every chance I get, it has not seemed to reassure him.” No one can startle laughter out of Damen like Laurent. It bursts free, Damen’s eyes crinkling under the weight of his amusement. “Perhaps Nikandros believes we’d have better luck with you as the broodmare and I the stallion.”

Excerpt:

Laurent could hear his uncle's footsteps, not approaching the distasteful door that separated them. They just seemed to wander aimlessly around the room, but there was nothing aimless about his uncle. He waited, choosing not think too long on the vulgarities that his uncle must had been preoccupied with. Laurent couldn't hear Nicaise's voice not footsteps. Whatever it was that had the Regent so enthralled, Laurent could only surmise that his uncle was alone in that room. Once the wait had become awkward, the door creaked open. "Ah, Laurent," the surprise in his voice was fake. His smile lacked any genuine emotion. "Did you forget," Laurent stepped through the threshold, his skin burning from memories he wished nothing more than to erase. "You invited me."
