Hi! Can you recommend some good Captive Prince fics? I just finished the series and I loved Laurent so much

Hi anon!! Welcome to the fandom 🤗

I've considered doing a fic rec post for a long time so this is a perfect opportunity for me. Please forgive me for the delay. It was Eurovision week when you sent this and it was (and still is) incredibly distracting for me.

Here are some of my favorites, I'm going to offer a variety of things, because I absolutely love AUs, all variations of them, but I know that's not everyone's cup of tea and immediately after finishing the series people tend to like canon and canon-divergent the most, so I'll try to focus on those:

Canon Divergence:

Ransomed Prince by Turtletotem

I started reading this fic back when I still was in the fandom and I absolutely loved it. When I rejoined in 2021, the last few chapters got posted and I've reread it like 10 times already. Please heed the warnings but I just really enjoy the development of their relationship in this fanfic.

Winged Cupid Painted Blind by Kittendiamore

A lot of scheming from Laurent, which is always a good time in my book. It's been a bit since I've read it, but I always enjoyed it.

No Rush by blacktofade

One of my favorite things are Auguste lives AUs were they meet under different circumstances. This is one of my absolute favorites of those and I've read it again and again.

When the sun is on again by thickenmyblood

I've read this story once and it absolutely destroyed me. I was not okay for a few days haha. It's still one of the most amazing things I've ever read. So I would still recommend it, but be careful.

An Arranged Marriage by Josselin

The slow build of this one, I absolutely love rereading it every few months.

Bright as lightning by blacktofade

Another arranged marriage AU haha. Please trust me on this, this is such a good story.

sanguinary poultice, love charm by Lapin

God this is so good, nothing really to say besides do yourself a favor and read it.

How To Not Court A Veretian Prince by Entity_Sylvir

It's been a while with this one as well but I know it was one of my favorites.

Canon Compliant:

The Consummation by Josselin

I have to admit it's been a while since I've read this one. But I know that I really enjoyed it, and it's a very real depiction on how this could go and how the unification will likely have its hurdles.

Wicked Game by onekingdomonce

An anmesia fic, that I've read at least twice. It's painful, but it's worth it. I can recommend everything by that author that is Damen/Laurent. I've not really read any of the other pairings, because i don't multiship Damen and Laurent.

Alternative Universe:

four sevens and a ten by fahye

I know people tend to recommend Fahye's everything (their ´Lines On Palms' series and their tumblr ficlets (link 1 link 2) in particular). But I've grown up absolutely adoring the Swan princess movie, so this one sticks out to me personally. It's a lot darker than the movie, and it has it's very own narrative and development. But god do I love and recommend it.

The Veretian Flytrap by Just_Another_Day

Technically this feels very very canon divergent to me, but since the whole story is Omegaverse I'm putting it here. I know a lot of people don't enjoy Omegaverse fanfics, which is totally valid. But this fanfiction is one of my favorites in this fandom of all time. The world building, the character development, the culmination of it all. I adore it, I reread it every few months and I can't recommend it enough.

A Touch of Heavenly Light by forthelongesttime

I would recommend reading everything by this author. I am absolutely in love with their writing. I like how realistic they write and how they don't shy away from facing ugly things as well. This story in particular is dark and I urge you to check the warnings. It's not for everyone, which is why I recommend checking out their entire list of fics. But if the warnings don't scare you, please check it out!

Alternative Universe - Modern:

between the motion and the act by fahye

And to be contrary once more, I'm also recommending another one of fahye's AUs haha. I really liked this show, and I think it's an amazing fit for a modern AU for Damen & Laurent. Fahye just has an absolute talent for putting them into alternate universes and make them believable to me.

Fear not the thorns by relenafanel

Back then written by one of my favorite Stucky writers, I still absolutely adored it when I reread it in 2021. I definetely recommend checking it out if modern AUs are your thing.

A few authors I'd like to recommend in general:

idratherhaveyou (lots of different AUs, all of them a pleasure to read)

PenguinMerchant (again a lot of different AUs and settings. The worldbuilding is immaculate and always leaves me in awe. All of those AUs also fit them so well.)

Holly_Golightly (one of my favorite unfinished wips in this fandom, I'm still holding out hope haha but everything else they've written was absolutely amazing as well. Very spicey usually. Can't recommend them enough.)

elesary (Can you tell I love AUs yet?? Some are canon compliant or canon divergent, but I especially adore their modern AUs.)

ahdriking (another one of my favorite wips - hardest of hearts - and also just a lot of really spicey stuff, but god, so good.)

[laikaru]

commission pieces for @tajmutthall

„Damen squeezed his eyes shut reflexively and shifted his sword point back a critical half-inch as Laurent whirled his arm and flung a handful of sawdust into his face.“

[zumurruds]

The number of times that they had made love were still finite enough that Damen could remember each one of them: at Ravenel, the unspoken full of painful secrets; in Karthas, losing themselves in each other; aching sweetness by firelight at a roadside inn at Mellos; the desperation of their first lovemaking after Damen's recovery. None of them had been like this, half sprawled on the bed looking up at Laurent.

Don’t go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me

[cosmic-nanova]

Yooo, today was a good sketch kind of day. Creek was a wonderful warm up.

I had to cover up the bottom corner due to it possibly being to saucy for Tumblr’s liking –even though this is supposed to be purely sweet, I don’t want to fight it lol

[cosmic-nanova]

Here’s a bunch of crap I don’t think I’ve ever posted here

[ghosty-the-artist]

A photo set i made for my buddy, @flickycat01 for their wonderful fanfic Bellflowers and Marigolds 

y'all should check it out!!! its beautifully written ;0 and if you like calm before the storm kinda thing than this is definitely for you!

[blame-canada]

I can’t find any good creek fanfiction help?!?! ;~;

Oh, you poor anonymous creature! Don’t worry, I’ll fix you up with some of my favorites. Warnings for each are listed to the right! 

In this Light

by: indirectkissesiniceland | Ship: Creek | implied NSFW

Can you tell who one of my favorite writers is yet? I’ve rec’d ikii several times and it’s because I love their storytelling so much! In This Light has a story structure that I adore, with a story that I am genuinely interested in from the start. It’s a lovely take on the actor Tweek AU craze that has held up as a favorite ever since I first read it, a long time ago. I’m always a sucker for reunions too, so there’s always that. This is honestly one of my favorite Creek fanfictions of all time, and it still makes me tear up by the end, every time I read it. 

PRISM

by: CaptainDude (HandbagMurder) | Ship: Creek | Graphic Violence, Death

When I first found this fic, it was by accident. It didn’t seem to tickle my fancy at first, but after sticking with it, I was quickly hooked. While this fic isn’t inherently shippy and is more of a general story than something focused solely on Creek, it is absolutely worth the time and is a fantastic read. It was like reading a really good book! If you like mysterious cults and incredible world-building, this fic is for you.

tangled up in you

by: addendum | Ship: Creek | Relevant warnings posted before each chapter

This isn’t exactly a multi-chapter fic- it’s a collection of one-shots, and a quite popular one at that. I still would like to make note of it, because some of them are just so sweet and cute that I’d hate not to include it on a list. I love the chemistry between Craig and Tweek in these, and I think it’s such a great take on their characterizations that comes across clearly even in these short one-shots or drabbles. It is frequently heavy on the dialogue, which I think can be a nice change of pace if done well. Seriously cute!

I Think We’re A Love Song

 by: morning_sun | Ship: Creek | NSFW

When I first read this fic I fell in love right away. I adore the writing style of this writer, and the way that they formatted the first chapter of this two-parter was just emotional enough to really wrench my heart out of my chest. I really enjoy the love story built between Craig and Tweek in this one. It just goes to show that even if fanfictions write the love story of two characters similarly a thousand times, there will still always be some that stand out. This one does just that! 

PS: the warnings in the tags list PWP, but there is actually a decent amount of plot to this one. I wouldn’t say it’s PWP at all, personally, but there is clear nsfw in the second chapter. There is also a nsfw sequel that I was honored to receive as a gift fic! You can read that as well here.

I hope you find something worthy in this short list! There are of course many wonderful fics out there which didn’t make this cut, but these are some of my favorite long-form stories that I hope maybe you haven’t read before and may also enjoy. Happy reading!

orange tulips by sunshinsou

Mo Guan Shan takes over his mother's flower shop. It's not what he's been dreaming of, but he doesn't hate it either. The more time he spends working there, the more he actually enjoys it. He's got a lot more freedom, being self-employed. Things he wouldn't have been able to do, if he got a different job. Things such as; insulting a certain customer, denying him all his requests, and getting tattooed by him during one of his weaker moments.

Good thing, there is a tattoo parlor, that just opened up, right across the street. And as luck would have it, its owner is not only incredibly handsome, but also a gigantic dick, who seems a bit too interested in buying a certain type of orange flowers... more or less regularly.

catharsis by powerandpathos

He Tian arches a brow. ‘And do we… hold hands for this?’

‘You got a problem with it?’

‘I’ve paid a sex worker to help me with my emotonal impotency,’ says He Tian dryly. ‘I think I can manage a little hand holding.’

Knotted Up by lemonysharkbait

Bodyguard!Mo Guan Shan has a unique arrangement with his underworld boss.

MASTERLIST

Maybe Tomorrow by DeeNuke

Mo spends the night over at He Tian's, but Tian has his usual nightmares.

lanterns on the lake by powerandpathos

‘Will you kiss me?’

He Tian’s mouth opens, and he searches Guan Shan’s face, looking for something. He hasn’t taken a single step forward.

‘You’re really drunk,’ he says eventually.

‘So you won’t.’

things that should remain unsaid by honeybun

'Engaged!'

Mo Guan Shan reads over the one word again, figures blurring together, word rolling around his head and no longer making any sense. He feels his hands shake as he puts away the paper and his vision blurs.

He Tian, engaged. Well wasn't that something.

It feels like being hit by a truck.

don’t you know? all i want is you by bvnnyboo

“can i just ask you one thing?”

“anything.” he tian responded, a little too eagerly.

familiarity by powerandpathos

He has his own apartment now—cramped, but only a 20-minute walk from the restaurant, and the landlord is a regular who’s agreed to pay for his utilities in exchange for free food a few nights a week. It’s an easy symbiosis, and Guan Shan wishes most things fell into place like that. Instead, he has a boyfriend who gets pulled through time and never shows up at the right one.

who is there for you, in the dark by forgottenwords

“What about your fiancé? Doesn’t she care? I don’t want to be a homewrecker in all this bullshit.”

“It’s not homewrecking if it’s already broken.”

He froze at that, knowing the truth that was always hanging in the distance

MASTERLIST

I’m Not A Prostitute by traceytries

He Tian and Red become fuckbuddies. This is an excuse for a whole lot of sexy times and the eventual feelings that come with it.

The Art of Makin’ You Mine by kimjongnini88

“Crap, I want to kiss that lips so bad… ” He Tian thought silently before he eventually succumbed to his own venereal desires.

a night in the sheets by TuxedoGal

The familiar musky scent of He Tian’s half-wet skin still burned in the back of his nose as the taller boy leaned away to let him into his apartment. His dark hair was dripping onto the floorboards, but his robe was sagging half forgotten in his left hand as he pulled at Guan Shan’s wrist to guide him into the apartment.

He Tian grinned a sly promise of dinner, disappearing into the kitchen.

Dare to Try It Out by vcent (no sex)

Mo is expecting to go home after a long day and pass out on his bed. Jian Yi twirling on a mini skirt in front of him is not part of the picture. Neither him trying out one for himself. Or He Tian seeing him in the infamous garment. None of that shit was on his plans today.

Pretty little thing by mgsdays (regencyaus)

Falling in lust is the worst thing that’s ever happened to Mo, Mo decides. Mo used to be smart. Now look at him, he’s gone fucking stupid.

Or, it’s He Tian’s birthday and Mo is talked into giving him a sweet, sweet gift.

Or, Mo in a maid costume.

Jingle your bells by Yuexuan

He Tian suddenly appears during Christmas and they make good use of the shower room.

mamihlapinatapai by jintsumu

mamihlapinatapai (noun)

“two people looking at each other, each hoping that the other will do what both desire but neither are willing to do.”

Praise by 19dayslink, Elaine (LumCheng)

Eyelids fluttering, cheeks still hot and flushed, Mo finally looked at him. He felt deeply embarrassed, but also helplessly horny at the same time.

He knew that He Tian meant everything he said. That guy wouldn’t lie to him about something like that. And he wasn’t sure if that made it better or worse. If only his body wouldn’t have such a reaction to the other one’s praise. Mo couldn’t remember ever reacting to that in such a way. Then again - nobody had ever really complimented him on anything.

lemon to my ice by dongtian (seclusion)

It's a not a date, Guanshan says.

Ever the genius, ever the expert on romance, his self-designated relationship counselor Yan replies, Of course it is.

allergy season by fayre

“You know, they say that sneezing a lot means you’re on someone’s mind.”

“Yeah?” Guan Shan says a bit drily, sniffing hard. “Then what a fuckin’ shame.”

He Tian watches him. “For you?”

“For the bastard unfortunate enough to have gotten me on their mind,” Guan Shan answers, walking again. He hates how nasally and gross his voice sounds, and the back of his throat feels sore. “If someone’s thinkin’ of me this fuckin’ much, it can’t be good news for either of us. Trust me.”

“Ah,” He Tian says, and then nothing more.

honey to my glass by dongtian (seclusion)

See, this is the crux of the matter: Guanshan is not in love with He Tian.

why did you run when i’m right here by Elaine (LumCheng)

It's the thought that counts, is what his mom would say.

But good intentions don't fill you up. They're not able to ease the queasy feeling in your stomach after going without food for nearly a whole day. They are, however, enough to make Guanshan feel guilty. And guilt is still sitting in a gray locker. Red and big and heavy and expensive with a custom paint job.

How will he ever be able to repay He Tian? How will he ever be able to express his gratitude? And how can he accept such a gift?

The answer is as simple as it is shattering: He can't.

Citrus by honeybun

Mo Guan Shan can admit when he’s wrong.

If he has to do that while being carried off the school grounds by He Tian, then he guesses that’s just his lot in life.

coercion tactics (please don’t leave) by forgottenwords

The other boy came on strong, too strong for his liking. This sort of action was something so out of character that he wouldn’t have believed it was He Tian if not for the fact that he’d been led here on some sort of twisted scavenger hunt by the boy.

warmth by ratzasz

the two boys are spending the night at tian’s, only for the heat to be out. he tian has the bright idea of cuddling.

When the Time Comes by isseitaka

He Tian and Mo Guanshan have a moment outside his house.

coming home by honeybun

It feels like a confession, one he should keep close to his chest unless it turns into an admission of guilt. When did missing someone become so complicated?

In other words, Mo Guan Shan wanted He Tian to come home.

Heart is where the home is by isseitaka

Distance makes the heart grow fonder.

Teamwork makes the dream work by Blooperbloop

Teamwork, for them, was something that never came easy. As a way of exercising that newly found skill He Tian thought a team activity was in order, just to test things…in the form of an IKEA furniture set (they were grown ups, after all).

the fucking kitchen by misacherry

Who says cooking dinner with your lover was going to be fun?

Probably someone who has a professional chef for a boyfriend.

Unfortunately, He Tian is a kitchen hazard and Guan Shan is desperately trying not to slice his head off.

Won’t you please spare me some? by misacherry

Guan Shan’s in Paris, working his ass off in cooking school.

And He Tian, well he’s missing him from China.

[radonyx]

Zhan Zheng Xi f*cking erased/cleaned off the straight couple and drew himself with Jian Yi holding hands. ZhanYi really out here being so in love.
