#joss does asks

There isn’t any specific relation between the two series; you don’t need to have read one to read the other. They could be in the same universe in that case! But also I reuse the name Leon for Jokaste’s baby even when it’s clearly not the same universe (a forthcoming fic will make this clear) because I like the name Leon and I’m terrible at naming characters.

There’s something ironic to me having this headcanon given that I’m fairly sure I’ve written more about Laurent having sex than anyone else at this point. Hahahhaha.

I actually see some resonances with that fic in the one I’m currently working on (a marriage AU). They both end up featuring a fair amount of Laurent thinking about sex, and reveal one of my personal headcanons that Laurent is vaguely confused by sex and possibly asexual. 

Leon is the best baby ever! You can read about him here.

Oh, they will be okay. At that point they'll be surrounded by dozens of adorable grandchildren and great grandchildren, and Leon will have finally matured enough to be a competent ruler. So it will be sad but their lives will have been full.

But at the same time, I worried that looking forward to Kings Rising for so many years would mean it would assuredly fail to please me when I finally read it, and I enjoyed it immensely. So I suspect I will find enjoyment in the epilogue even as I enjoy anticipating it. For example, perhaps Laurent has grown his hair out and will have longer locks in the epilogue, hahahaha. :D

Yes, with the caveat that I don't think Laurent is ever inclined to do this often. But by the end of Kings Rising I think Laurent is actually more ready to relax with Damen than Damen is ready to relax with Laurent. So there will be a time of getting Damen comfortable with the two of them, and the sometimes he will be able to tease Laurent over the edge of abandon.
