As part of the captive prince reverse bang 2019 ( @capri-bigbang2k19, ) I made the comic up top originally, then drew the second one as a bonus! It was quite a learning experience as this was my first time coloring something digitally.
@booksnchocolate wrote the brilliant accompanying fic:
Playing the Long Game
Summary: Damen steamrolls over him. “You’ve got a murder plot and a suspect. What do you need me for?”De Vere looks him up and down exaggeratedly. “You’re the hired muscle, of course.”Damen’s hands clench into fists. “The hired muscle for what?”“For the stakeout we’re about to pull.”His father is dead. The media is a pit of snakes speculating that he did it. As his world crumbles around him, Damen finds himself seeking help from an unlikely quarter - his most bitter rival, the cold, caustic Laurent de Vere.

A massive thank you to all the lovely people on the capri discord server, and to everyone involved in this reverse bang, it was so very fun! And of course, thanks to my wonderfully accommodating author.
PLEASE everyone go look at Kir’s art!!! These pieces are amazing; I love the humour between Damen and Laurent; it’s what got me hooked on the prompt in the first place. It’s been wonderful working with Kir and participating in this year’s Capri RBB. Big, big thank you to the mods @capri-bigbang2k19 for running such a great event! Huge love to the CP discord as well for the cheerleading along the way <3
