Pallas turned blindly, and made for the door. ‘What is it?’ Laurent looked at Damen, who had detached himself and was sitting with the sheet pulled up to where he had clutched it to cover himself. And then, with the burgeoning delight of discovery, ‘Are you shy?’

A wise decision, I approve!

post-break up phone sex

(just what it says on the tin. NC-17, not as angsty as it could be but not NOT angsty. i wrote this bc i want attention, tell me what you think. maybe i’ll post to ao3 if i can think of a title. the dog’s name is @niniblack’s headcanon, and the bitchy teenager is totally nicaise.)

When Laurent’s phone rang at 10pm, he almost didn’t answer it. And then when he saw who was calling, he really almost didn’t answer. Then, swearing into his pillow, Laurent picked up. 

“Are you okay?” he asked, and his heart pounded in the brief pause on the other end of the line. 

But it was just surprise in Damen’s tone when he said, “Yes, sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you. I just wanted to let you know I took Sasha into the vet today.” 

Laurent sat up, sheets pooling around his waist. “Is he okay?” 

“Yeah. He got into a fight and one of the bites got infected.” 

“A fight? With another dog? Did you let him off leash?”

“I was at the dog park. There was this insane little rat terrier. I think Sasha was just playing but this dog just got its teeth into Sash’s leg and hung on.” 

“Jesus,” Laurent muttered, running a hand through his hair. “Did you get the owner’s contact info? You’d better send them the vet bill.”  

“Yeah. It was this incredibly bitchy teenager who said Sash was sexually harassing his dog.” Laurent could hear the humor in Damen’s voice. Damen had always been better at dealing with other people’s bullshit. 

“What did the vet say?” 

“Cleaned it up and prescribed antibiotics. Didn’t need stitches.” 

“Good. That’s good.” Laurent laid back slowly on his pillows, staring up at the dark ceiling. “Thanks for telling me.” 

“Of course. He’s still your dog too,” Damen said, and Laurent suppressed a derisive snort because he knew Damen meant it sincerely. In his head, Sasha was still both of theirs, despite the fact that Damen was now the dog’s sole caretaker, and had been for nearly a year. God, that long already? Thinking about it made Laurent’s stomach hurt.  

He rolled onto his side, phone pressed against his ear. “So.” 

“So.”

Auguste telling baby stories about Laurent

“Oh man you should’ve seen him at 4 to 5, god he was sharp. Once when he was about 4, I was introducing him to my old dolls and poppets that I had named ‘beary’ for the bears, ‘doggy’ for the dogs, and so on. He looked at me straight in the face with those big blue eyes and said, Those are too repetitive. You’re not any good at naming dolls. Because at that age, all his animals were named Remington, Magdalaine, Appolinia, Archibald, Theodore…

I remember he asked me why they were all boys and I said that I was grossed out by little girls when I was his age, so I made all my little friends boys. He looked so offended and held all his girl dolls and said, How are they supposed to procreate?”

.

“Since he was really little, he would always come up to me at dinner real shy and say May I have another? of whatever dessert was, and I’d say I don’t know bud, go ask mom. And I would watch him pitter-patter around the table for so long waiting to ask her… which was silly! Because she always said yes.

He could never finish the second one, so it didn’t matter. He’d come back up to me in the same way and act like he just came up with the idea, Hey uh.. do you want any? Because he wanted me to finish it for him.”

damen vs. his own feelings: a duel for the ages

[lets-talk-about-captive-prince]

The trend of putting mamma Mia over fight scenes in films got me thinking about CP- anyone any dramatic scene/wildly inappropriate music combos?

My offerings are when Damen decimates the battle field at the beginning of KR- holding out for a hero (specifically the shrek 2 version) (sue me)

Annnd the whole rooftop chase scene with either take on me/ footloose

Happy pride 🌈❤️💛💚💙💜

Reblog if this is true for your blog

please consider: damen and laurent naming their children but stressing the syllables differently in their respective languages until there’s no RIGHT pronunciation

“how do you pronounce your name, your highness?”

“you tell me”

“i’ll stay,” said damen. “you know i’ll stay for as long as you-”

I can’t believe Pacat put the ship name for Laurent and Damen in the series canonically and I didn’t even realize it when I first read it :/ And it was Laurent who named Damen this! Like, can you imagine Laurent riding his horse while thinking about what he’d call their relationship? My soft baby boi

“You know, my uncle knew who you were,’ said Laurent. ‘He spent this whole time waiting for us to fuck. He wanted to tell me who you were himself, and watch it wreck me. Oh, had you guessed that? You just thought you’d fuck me anyway? Couldn’t help yourself?’ ‘You ordered me to your rooms,’ said Damen, ‘and pushed me down on the bed. I said, “Don’t do this”.’ ‘You said, “Kiss me”,’ said Laurent, each word enunciated clearly. ‘You said, “Laurent, I need to be inside you, you feel so good, Laurent,”’ He switched to Akielon, as Damen had, at the climax, ‘‘it’s never felt like this, I can’t hold on, I’m going to—’”

So… I’d just like to point out that there’s like six dudes standing outside the tent while they’re having this argument in King’s Rising… and all I can think is that they’re all looking at each other like

[lets-talk-about-captive-prince]

So this is based off something my dad actually did to me. He took me to the library every Saturday from the time I was born. So when it became time for me to get my own library card I was really excited and I felt very adult when I had to swear the Library Oath. It was not until I was going to college that I figured out that the Library Oath is Not A Thing.

So imagine:

Smaurent LOVES the library and when he’s like ~6 Auguste is like “you really love the library, don’t you” and Smaurent is just like “Yeah! It’s the BEST!” “Well, I think it’s time you swore the oath and became a Library Knight” “😱a WHAT” “yes, a Library Knight. I spoke to [Head Librarian] about this and we agree that you’re ready”

So Auguste gets the Head Librarian involves and they come up with this legit-enough-sounding Oath for Laurent to swear and it has stuff like “I swear to treat every book with kindness and never write in them and return them it it’s proper place. I will return all books in a timely fashion. I will protect this library and all others With My Life” and Smaurent takes this very seriously and it very proud and he wants to go tell him father but Auguste is like “it’s a secret organization of Knowledge you can’t tell anyone not even Father” and wow does that make Smaurent love it Even More.

He doesn’t figure it out until Much Later when he’s like “Damen I have to tell you a Secret” and goes into the whole thing about how he’s Sworn by Duty to Personally oversee the transportation of library books to and from Vere because he’s a Knight if the Library and Damen just can’t keep it together and loses his mind laughing and Laurent is SHOOK

WE NEED TO DISCUSS SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT, THIS IS CRITICAL :

How would modern Auguste fuck with/roast/embarrass Laurent?

Like you KNOW he’s gotta fuck with him, especially as he got older, he’s a big brother, it’s mandatory.

Please consider:

Nicknames

Embarrassment in front of crushes

Pranks

Weird inside jokes and family memes

Convincing Smaurent that random made-up facts are true that are ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE

Also consider:

How Laurent would retaliate.

Please can we talk about this?
