can you recommend me some good captive prince fanfics? i just finished reading the series and i'm a bit Lamen deprived :D
Josselin’s fics are my absolute favorites, her writing style albeit bearing little resemblance to Pacat, still manages to echo the original novels’ narrative voice–which I absolutely love. And I’d wager you would have probably read some of her works before since she’s literally everyone’s go-to for quality Captive Prince fanfictions.
Out of her numerous works, these are some of my personal favorites:
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.
Despite all of Laurent’s explanations, Damen could not really picture what it would be like to have Laurent pretending to be his slave until it was happening.
• Three Pieces of Advice Series
Part 1: “Damianos,“ Theomedes said. “Peace is for the days of old men and babes. You are going to a peace summit, but you are a young man; your thoughts should be of war.”
Part 2: In which Laurent learns about Akielon domestic habits from the theater, and Damen is confused. Takes place after Three Pieces of Advice.
Part 1: They began a habit of discussing their plans for the evening over breakfast.
Part 2: Laurent noticed that Damen talked a great deal during sex.
“What would it have been like,” said Laurent, “if I had been your slave, in Akielos?”
“The king’s marriage has not been consummated,” said Herode.
“So the king would be within his rights to put aside his spouse from the first marriage and to take a second.”
Herode spoke calmly, as though his words weren’t directed at the spouse from the first marriage.
Another two CP fanfic writers I adore are Fahye and cathalin, even though both of them have only written two CP fics so far, they’re definitely worth the read. Check out:
• Games of Chance by Fahye
“You’ll tie yourself in knots,” Damen says, unable to keep the fondness from his voice any longer, “with how clever you are.”In the midst of the Akielon harvest festival, Damen makes his way through Laurent’s latest game.• Lines on Palms by Fahye
“Ah,” says Damianos. “The game is not to be seen.”Laurent of Vere attends a wedding, plays several games at once, and finds himself in a place that he did not expect.
• Age of Consent by cathalin
“Hello. I need to lose my virginity. You look suitable. Are you likely to murder me or something else fatal?”• the enemies outside (the enemies within) by cathalin
“You have an affinity for breaking through windows,” Laurent said. Immediately, he regretted it. It recalled times when they were beginning their rapprochement. He did not want rapprochement. He did not want anything between them.When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you. – Winston Churchill
Some other works I’d recommend:
• Has and Has Beans by specialrhino
In which Damen, ex-heir to the corporate empire that is Peet’s Coffee and Tea and first year grad student, finds himself working at an independent coffeeshop run by the heir to Starbucks. He did not sign up for any of this (except for the grad student part).
• Horizons We Wrest by xyai
What they’d had was uncertain given the circumstances, fragile and fumbling in its newness—he’d known that when he left. But he hadn’t thought he’d return to find Laurent like this.Their wars are won and their secrets out, but the future remains unclear.
“You proved to be invaluable at Nesson-Eloy,” Laurent said. “I expect your singular assets will be similarly useful tomorrow.”
A detour is taken. It ends in the truth.
• Postbellum by FaustianAspirant
In which Laurent miscalculates, Damen dawdles, and neither are as practical as they would necessarily believe themselves to be.
• Till China and Africa meet, and the river jumps over the mountain by Signe (oxoniensis)
Piece by piece, it all fell into place.
• Two Princes by Signe (oxoniensis)
Their rendezvous was at noon.
• Now Again a Beloved Son by kaolinite
In which the events of Marlas unfold differently, for the better.
• There Is Neither East Nor West by petrichoral
“I left you an army at Ravanel. I was expecting at least a thank-you note.”
“Writing letters isn’t my strong point,” Damen said. “I brought you a hundred Akielons instead.”
“I brought you a hundred Akielons,” Laurent repeated. “I believe I now know how a cat owner feels when their pet presents them with three dead starlings on their doorstep.”
My list isn’t exhaustive, but I hope what I have above will satisfy! Also, there’s another fic rec list already made by izzylightwd, so you can check that out as well!
BUT ACTUALLY, THE CAPTIVE PRINCE FANDOM IS BLESSED WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF FANTASTIC LITERARY TALENTS, JUST GO ON AO3 AND READ ANY FANFICS YOU CAN SEE.
I CAN ASSURE YOU THEY ARE ALL OF QUALITY.
