"Oscar, right?" Prince Lando asks with a grin, immediately dispensing of titles. Highly presumptive of him. "Yes," Oscar replies, curt. Lando steps to the edge of the fighting ring and gives Oscar a once over, his piercing eyes making Oscar's skin itch. His hair is matted to his forehead with sweat and his loose, grey tunic smeared with dirt, yet the prince moves with the unmistakable poise of nobility, leaning on a fence post as comfortably as he might over a palace balcony. "You're taller than I expected," Lando says in assessment. "Do you spar, Oscar?" "Yes," Oscar responds, even more terse. All noble sons are given a practice sword as soon as they learn to walk, no matter how peaceful their realms claim to be. To have no skill in sparring at his age would be an embarrassment. His irritation goes either unnoticed or unanswered as the corner of Lando's lip raises into a sly smirk. "Does my lord speak any words other than 'yes?'" Oscar simply shrugs in response. He will not rise to the bait.

I've been turning this idea over in my head for almost two years now and decided fuck it, let me start posting what I have written to motivate myself to finish the dang thing. No set length yet but my outline is at least 13 chapters, so we're going to be here for a while.

tbh fantasy worldbuilding isn't my strongest suit as a writer, but I love a good nobility au and we're here to have fun, so I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have imagining it! and feel free to drop me asks about the universe—it'll probably help me fill in some gaps <3

unbreak the bonds: chapter 5

✨ M | 28k | 5/? | slow burn, medieval fantasy ✨

"Up for a swim, Oscar? To stop you roasting out here." Lando stretches his arms upward, blocking out the sun and creating even more definition in the wide planes of his abdominals. Oscar has seen Lando in various states of undress as part of their training sessions. That's nothing new. But even in the four days they've been at camp, his skin has darkened to an even more glorious golden tone, constantly glittering with sweat or seawater and proudly on display most waking hours of the day. Oscar should be desensitized from the frequent exposure, but the effect is the opposite.

sorry updates have been taking forever. this fic has been a struggle lately but i'm doing my best to push through. appreciate your patience. 💕

p.s. the fairy tale at the end is a reference to this fic i wrote in a frenzy two years ago...so i guess that's canon to this universe now? i'm sure that won't cause any lore problems for me later 😅

(landoscar, fairy tale, magic, knight in shining armor, true love)

Once upon a time, there were two boys who lived in the village. Their story begins as young friendships often do: swiftly and without complication. "You're the boy who lives next door." "Yes. My name's Oscar." "I'm Lando. Do you want to be friends?" "Okay." And from that day forth, they were inseparable—playing out in the yard, chasing butterflies in the field, whispering through slats in the back fence when they were supposed to be in trouble. When one boy came running through town to swipe fruit from the grocer's stall or try to sneak up and pet the horses, the other was sure to follow. "Havoc-wreaking menaces," some called them. "One soul in two bodies," claimed others. But to each other, they were just Lando and Oscar. They'd never known anything different.

How do I cope with writing too much angst? Make a fluffy little fairy tale and don't worry about the plot holes! (most fairy tales don't make sense when you think about it anyway; it's all about the vibes, right? ...right?)

I have been working on another fic in a similar style that is much longer and more thought out, so do let me know if you enjoy this type of writing! I'm trying to stay motivated! 🧡

relevant to the new chapter of unbreak the bonds!

i haven't reread this in at least a year because i wasn't suuuuuper thrilled with the writing style and the pacing, but you know, i was actually kind of cooking with some parts. and the seeds for the worldbuilding of "unbreak the bonds"...hmm...fascinating.
