[veretiennes]

Nikandros: I wish to restate my strong objection. Damen:

Finished commission of Laurent for @m4g0rtz! 💕✨

[veretiennes]

How many times do you think Laurent had to physically restrain himself from full-naming Damen every time he felt bitchy???

[veretiennes]

They say he’s frigid 🥶

[veretiennes]

“A Kingdom or this.”

[veretiennes]

Nikandros: stop loving people who try to kill you

Damen:

Whipped in more ways than one Damen

no matter what universe it is, damen gets stabbed with a fork

Enemies to lovers romance is the journey from sweetheart (derogatory) to sweetheart (affectionate)

[veretiennes]

Sometimes when I’m sad I just reread this scene over and over again. This is what loves looks like my dudes and I want what they have

OK, so can we talk about how Laurent doesn’t sleep?

EXHIBIT A: Up all night when Damen arrived in Arles:

EXHIBIT B: Awake to meet his dead-of-night assassination attempt:

EXHIBIT C: Awake all night at Chastillon:

EXHIBIT D: Clearly not really sleeping when Damen woke him in the inn at Nesson:

EXHIBIT E: Awake all night in the camp:

EXHIBIT F: Took the first watch while Damen slept during their reconnaissance mission, before they were taken by the raiders:

EXHIBIT G: Gone from the Vaskian tent before Damen woke up:

BUT THEN. He sleeps in Damen’s arms at Ravenel, and can hardly believe it:

Laurent is surrounded by enemies, has been victimized by those he thought he could trust, and has survived more than one assassination attempt. He’s also plagued by heartache. OF COURSE he has trouble sleeping.

Probably the sweetest and most painful thing about that morning in Ravenel was realizing that Damen made him feel safe enough to relax—probably for the first time in years—and thinking there was no way he could keep him.

i will never NOT be hurt by how much shock laurent is continually in when damen treats him softly. he’s never known such tender touch and remembers reading about it in his books, but never imagined it could be for him

Not pictured: King Laurent balancing on his royal tippy toes. …on top of King Damianos’s toes.

Capri Modern AU

Damen: I want you to know that you will have a roommate once uni ends

Laurent: Roommates, is that what we are?
