Remember in Adventures of Charles when Damen got super jealous of Laurent spending time with a ~~woman~~ and all of a sudden he was a long standing advocate for Veretian norms like

“I THIUGHt MEn AND WOMEN WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ALOne TOGETHER NEVER EVER Charles ??”

[laurent-roi]

tired: courting au where laurent plays hard to get and acts cold and aloof towards damen.

wired: laurent, fretting, chaotic gay: damen asked me out on a date @ 3:23 pm and i already texted back @ 3:22 pm saying yes but he hasn’t seen it yet. should i also send him an email just to confirm? just in case

auguste:……………….. laurent

[liesmyth]

#remember when laurent was arguing against his own dignity when he was swapping teen romance headcanons in bed with damen?#damen sharing his thoughts like i would court you 😤🥺💕💕💕 and laurent immediately responding 🙄❌ ooc and false. //i// would chase you  @eglanterias

I just finished reading Kings Rising - oh boy!! But I read it on my kindle and now on the internet I hear about a chapter 19.5. Are these the same as the short stories???

[LONG HIGH-PITCHED GASP OF REVERENCE]

NO! it is NOT the same as the short stories!!! The Infamous Chapter 19 And A Half was a bonus chapter at the end of the Prince’s Gambit paperback (there’s also one in the Captive Prince paperback called The Training of Erasmus, which is about – you guessed it – the training of Erasmus). it’s basically just an extra scene at the end of chapter 19, which doesn’t SOUND like much, BUT GO BACK AND CHECK WHAT CHAPTER CHAPTER 19 IS.

I originally read the first two books on my kindle so I didn’t have The Infamous Chapter 19 And A Half, either. blessedly, the glorious and ever enabling @camp-four happily took photographs of every individual page and text them all to me, in order. I still have them all in an album on my phone. sometimes I read it before I go to sleep in order to have sweet dreams and wake up refreshed and buoyed by the knowledge that true and good love is real and it’s out there. 

DON’T SAY I NEVER DO ANYTHING FOR YOU! 

Keep reading

goodness, my man Damen simply is too pure for this world

[tschulijulesjulie]

i think one part of the Captive Prince trilogy that resonates with me, is how it promotes a reasonable and healthy amount of distrust, while at the same time also showing how important it is to trust the right people.

on the one hand you have Laurent who doesn't trust anyone - couldn't.

and then you have Damen who trusted everyone and then trusted and distrusted the wrong people.

and slowly and only together they learn how to place their trust in the right places and i think thats beautiful.

some Laurent of Vere sketches i did to get back into drawing his INHUMANLY BEAUTIFUL FACE bc i sure have trouble drawing it

more capri fanart to come i have caught the capri brainworms again

[zumurruds]

most romantic line in the entire series:

laurent lost everything — his brother, his family, his reputation, his kingdom, and nearly his own life, and he would make the trade for all those things because he gained damen in their stead, and only wishes it hadn’t happened that way for damen too.

name a more profound, all-encompassing love.

[bubbleteabarista]

wanted to further prove the case that number 8 is the right answer on that poll that was going around for how Laurent looks, and then broke my artist block at the same time. who says being petty doesn't solve anything!

(i am kidding, you can all imagine him how you want lmao)

"Lord Touars, you face me in my own kingdom, you inhabit my lands, and you breathe at my pleasure."

(Yeah the sex was cool and all, but this was absolutely the hottest part of the series)

Favourite Kings Rising quotes & moments [10/?]

[magiclamd]

I’d just like to point out that as much as we laugh at Damen’s spirited defence at the trial of Laurent, since it’s pretty much only “he is wonderful and true and I love him” - he’s the rightful king of Akielos and it is therefore all the Akielons present need to hear. Because that’s what they’re like.

[iwouldservehim]

The culture clash between Akielos and Vere will never not be funny. To Vere, this kind of act is naive and foolish. To Akielos, being straightforward and truthful is what they respect.

[fantasticfables]

Veretians: this man is guilty of treason and will have to be executed!

Damen: okay but consider- I love him

Akielons, already taking off Laurent's chains: understandable, have a great day

Veretians: :/

Laurent in King’s Rising

[goldencuffs]

It was, above all else, fascinating to see how quickly Damianos’ expression changed.

The fury settled into the lines on his face, shadowing it. It was almost as primal as the arousal had been.

Sitting down, shoulders tight, with grass clinging to the back of his blazer, Damianos was still the most authoritative figure Laurent had ever seen.

Laurent couldn’t keep his eyes off him.

“The act of riding is, to Laurent, akin to climbing stairs: more demanding than walking, with the added difficulty of calculating the width of each step, but essentially mindless. Falling is like arriving at the end of the staircase without realising it, when the foot reaches and finds no purchase but the void and then, further down, the ground.” - On a bed of white flowers, by Sunshiner
